Ilk Wilmot and the Reconstruction of
judicial Districts.
Mr. Wilmot has been spending some
time in Iltunisburg,, to prevent, if he
Zbly can by whiningand importun
tbu abolishment of the 13th julicial
'district. But whether he will succeed
1.4 still uncertain. Nearly the entire
),sr of Ws own county are anxious for
the change, alleging as the reason for
heir petition that the cause of justice
4,,Otnands it. Some tittle ago Mr. Wil
pot addressed a printed circular upon
the all bject to them, to which William
Watkins, Esq., and old and respectable
Tneroher, and in politics a warm itepub
pcant has ¶ritten a lengthy reply, in
whist' ho holds Mr. W. up, as a judge,
any Using but an enviable light. Af

the distriet %ca., ercated through the in

iiiligketOW of a pretext for its neee , sity,
Ott solely to put money into his own
pocket at the expense of the common-
Sveiaith, when his services were neither
peeded nor de,ired in that capacity,
31r. Watkins proceeds to handle him
without fear or mercy. lie tells Mr.
Wilmot:that by means of that altogeth

letter has already Eneeeeded in depriv

such purposes " cannot be safely trust
ee" • lie next reviews "Mr. Wilniot's
course Since his elevation to the bench.
Wolhekl . hore . quote the opening para
graphs upon this point :
Since you entered upon the duties. of your
office, I cannot conceive of any thing more
Injurious to the due administration of justice,
than the course of conduct persisted in and
pitrineil 'you. lour position as a judge
must of necessity suffer in dignitry and respedt,
among th- candid part of the community, when
'from the bench you denounce all who entertain
7 difireent political views from yourself, as ass
'to+ mama, TOalee. DISHONEST , &C.
sainformed that you have addressed the pub
lit in this manner all over the county. Sup
pose myself to rucertAin different political
views from you. iii,d I attead court with my
witnesses, and at evening those witnesses and
jurors attend a mass meeting at the Conti
lcinse, and hear an address of this kind, got up
triyotir cutsvz style.
The next morning my case cornea up for trial.
Do you believe under such circumstances, after
Plft jury nod witnesses have heard you charge
on It in this way in politics, I shou d or could
stand an equal chance of gaining a fair and
Impartial verdict, as I otherwise should have
? I Should be under the necessity of en
juring upon my trial w.th the minds of the
ry bested and embittered against me—your
litnak e iti'vtlight work my ruin, though you die.-
plaited your duty faithfully as &judge. If the
tpolitical parties were about equal in numbers
o .his county, then the chances of danger
siotatt not be so great, but when the odds are
three to one, the chances of an impartial terdict
are is the same ratio.
EGI
. Again there is a general belief in the county
AO Mr. Mercur stands on higher ground, and
Ilse . more influence with you, than any other
}member of the bar, in consequence of his po
litical faith. This belief has become So gen
eral;•that I apprehend every member of the
)ar, on the opposite side of polities from your
ioi and Mr. .Mercur, have Lad cases where
they desired to have him employed on this
Very account. I once sat at a public table
whose Mr. Passmore. now one of the Associate
lodges of this counts, congratulated Mr. 11er
'547-upon occupying this position. 'low came
this belief abroad' It did not originate with
the ;members of the bar, nor did they even
countenance the idea. until they found them
-041 suffering beyond endurance front this
deep-reAt'd . 6ilaef. the tr'utft is, the belief
originated from what individuals have seen in
court; 'floor 'what they have observed them-'
'selves, from day to day, as the business of the
court transpired. The remark is frequently 1
)31/14.e to me—to gain your ear it is necessary to
iivrikloy Kr. Mercur. .li . o other lawyer is men
tioned as possessing this charm. In your
court the client seems to feel safe with Mr.
Uereur, and unsafe -without him. This state
of things ought not to be. The due adminis
'olstlon of justice ought not to be robbed of her
5:14,,iii In this way.
Further on Mr. Watkins cites two
psf, of a precisely similar character,
)n which Mr. Moretti- was - interested,
, Mr. Wilmot'srnlinrs, arc diamet
y opposed to each other, although
frk.iding the second, his attention

Other lima are also mentioned to show
that injustice has been done by Mr.
llfilmot in making judicial decisions,
be.t we will not tollow the letter
pktthor.
,We firmly believe that in no other
Aistriet in the State would Mr. Wilmot
Oe folisrated as a presiding judge.—
Aside from the other charges made by
36. Watkins, he has, by his continual
pat:tying with politics, put all decency

Another Gift Swindle Detected.
Two young men, named Joel 1-Co4ors
and David Pierce, were arrested in New
York on Wednesday, charged with
being engaged in a gift-swindling enter
prise in issuing a newspaper called the
Casket of Diamonds, and protnising to
each subscriber, who paid in advance, a
chance to win diamonds valued at from
8:;00, to $20.000. _ The office of the pa
per was at No. 308 Broadway. Only
une number of the paper was issued.
After promising to abandon the busi
ness, and empowering the 'Mayor to
receive and open all letters addressed
to them hereafter, they were discharg
ed. Persons in the country should be
very careful about sending money to
New York or any of the large cities,
for subscriptions to new papers, books
or periodicals. They may set it down
as a certainty that all prospectuses, cir
culars or advertisements that offer "val-
uable gifts" as proMiums to subscri
bers, are only intended to deceive. •
Our Aristocracy.—Some one speaking
of our aristocracy, nas miscalled it the
Cod•flsh aristocracy of Norfolk. Oar
aristocracy is composed of different
elements. Wo have the Hog-fish aris
tocracy, (born and raised in this sec
tion ;) the 'Cat-fiiili aristocrazy, (from
other parts of Virginia;) the Shad-fish
aristocracy, (from North Carolina,) and
the Cod-fish aristocracy, (from the
North.) Hereafter, when individuals
speak or *rite 'of gar aristocracy they
will please remember . tbis.=:7lVerfork

sar When Frederick of Prussia pro
claimed his new codo of ltiws, it render
ed lawyers unnecessary, and a large
body of them signed a pottion to his
Majesty, praying for relief, and ending
with a request to know whatthey were
to do r Under these circumstances the
King wrote this laconic answer : "Such
as are tall enough may enlist for grena
diers, and the shortest will do for drum
mers and fifers."
Darkey's New Hat. —A jolly old darkey
down South, bought himself a new,
shiny hat, and when it commenced rain
ing, ho put it under his coat. When
asked why he did not keep his hat on
his head, he replied:
"De hat's mine ; bought him wid my
own money; head 'long to masa; let
him take keer his own property."
Another Cure for a A/ca.—Noticing
a remedy in slate number of your paper
for felons, reminded me of one I
have which is first-rate. Take red lead
and Castile'soap of each a tablespoon
full; add weak ley sufficient to make a
soft salve; apply on the &rat appear
ance of the felon.
One who Knows Himself.—A celebra
ted modern philosopher, who was asked
"What is man ?" answered quite naive.
ly, " Why, a man is a very stupid ani
mal, at least judging. as far as one can,
from one's self."
191-A person who was recently called
in court for the purpose of proving the
correctness o£B doctor's bill, was asked
by the lawyer whether " the doctor
did not make several visits after the pa
tient was out of danger!" "No," repli
ed the witness, "I considered the pa
tient rn danger as long as the doctor
continued his visits l"
Very Satisfactory.—" Charles, Aq you

1511
"No, dear, what is it?"
"Why, that, that—yon and—and—l
are a going to be mar-married?"
" Fudge ! let them say so. We know
better. We arc not so foolish as that,
are wo ?"
jAn old lady told her son to list
the door, in order to keep tho wind out.
"That would make it worse," he repli
ed, " for you know the wind bloweth

permanent and speedy cure in Consumption. -----
The first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood, and the immediate effect produced by
their deposition in the lupgs is to prevent the
free admission of air into the air cells, which
causes a weakened vitality through the entire
system. Then surely it is more rational to ex
pect greater good from medicines entering the
cavities of the lungs than from those admin
hawed through the stomach : the patient will
always Ind the lungs free and the breathing
011111 y, after Inhaling remedies. Thus, Inhale.
lion is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts
eonmitutionatly, and• with more power and
certainty than remedies admini2tered by the
stomach. To prove the powerful and direct
influence of this mode of edniinistrat om
chloroform inhaled will eutire'y destroy sett.i
bility in a few minutes, paralyzing the entire
nervous system. so that a limb may he am.
potated without the slightest pain : inhaling
the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a
few hours.
The inhalation '
of Ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead.—
The odor of ninny of the medicines is percepti
ble in the skin a few minutes after being in
haled, and may be immediately detected in
' the blood. d convincing proof of the consti
tinional effeetsof inhalation. is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul I
l air—is not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously
administered through the lungs should pro
dare the happiest results ? During eighteen
years' practice. many thousands suffering ,
from diseases of the lungs and throat, have
been under my care, and I have effected-many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers had I
been pronounced in the last stages. which
fully satisfies me that consumption is no
longer a fatal disease. My treatment of con
sumption is original, and founded on long ex
perience and a thorough investigation. My
I perfect acquaintance with the nature of tuber
cles, lc.. enables me to distinguish readilbi
the varioes forms of disease that simulate con•
sumption, and A pply the proper remedies, rare
ly being mistaken even in a single case. This
familiarity, in Connection with certain path*.
logical and microscopic discoveries, enables
ins to relievattie lungs from the effects of con.,

energy and tone to the entire system. .
Mc:feints with SS directions sent to any
part of the UniterStstes and Canadas by
patients communicating their symptoms by
letter. But the care would be more certain if
the patient should pay me a visit, which
would give hie an opportunity to examine the
lungs emir enable me to prescribe with mach
gre r 'certainty, and then the cure could be
without my seeing the patient again.
