Of . a recsided 'fact which 'we 'charged up
on, _ him hist week, and attemp4 , to play

Mr. Watson has not received, nor will he
redeye, '

entered, for, the reason, that at the time
,he
entered the notes be released, in writing, on
• 'the e transcript of the judgments so, entered,
each and - every attorney fee by law. taxed. •
Wherein
~consists _ the "Court' House
Ring" deception in ,the 'above, is the
• statement that he has released thelattdr
ney fees. on , the ‘.ftranscripts of the
iudginen ts,", a wilfull attempt to Palm
. aft upon the readers of that paper the
idea that such a course'would release the
defendent
.from the payment of those
fees. Mr. Watson knowS, it he be fit to
draw a precipe, that; a release - written
on a transcript of a judgment is just as
binding as if he had writt?n it on the
back-of his own hanil, or on one of the
doors to the late new county building.=
To eiplain to our reader?, who are not
attorneys, we would say that a transcript
hai no legal binding force upon` any one ,

fee and \seveniy-five - cents clerk's .
One of $33.33 ; one of $4,m4; one of
$9.77 ; one of $16.93 ; - one of $22.31,. all
of which have a $3 attorney' fee made - up ,
in: tlie costs, .besides' • others ' which we
have not. mentioned, - - -
If - what the ex-senator says be true,
namely;thathe never will receive these
lattorney\fees, and did not so ilitend:la•do
When he put them upon iecord, has,
releaskl them on the transcript to. the
\plaintiff s sO that be can evade the . le,w
and put them in his pocket (no man but
a regularly adinittetl attorney can' enter,a
• fee hi : legally take one) then - he is guilty'
of an act of collusion with . his client,
that should ' exclude him from farther
prattice ih our courts. He must' ac
,knowledge this or plead guilty to his own
'cupidity in, grasping fOr a few fees just
before the law took effect, for the passage
of which he claims so much 'philanthropy.
Of the two, the latter‘` is, the most hon
orable, and fioni the nature of the par
ties, the most reasonable.•
The'senater says that we\ ere instiga- .
ted by; jealousy in the matter because we
did not originate the bill. in the lexisla
tare which abolished these fees. We he.:
lieve the people of this county did no
need,any such*tion from 119 'to know
our position upon "curb-stone" robbery,
whether it be in the shape of attorney
fees or'any otber. -Had, we been called
upon to originate a bill on that subject,
it would not have been • such an one as
that fur which the ex-senator clairris so
much' credit. When in' attorney or day
laborer \ is einfoloyed by anotlier,he should
receive reasonable cOmpetisatiou for his
labor and a law that prohibits such pay.
inept is * unjust. If a note of , $99.99 is
put into ' the hands of 'an attorney for
collection, bb dbould he reasonably paid
for such service.hi there is no justice
or equity in_saying . lkat in such a case he
shall receive nothinwhile )f it were
one cent more. he should 'receive $3. We
are speaking tow of honest attorneys,
not of•shYlOks and ':curbstone'" thieves,
for thefcan 'pursue their nefarious prac
tiees as well tinder, Mr. Watson's law as
they could before, simply by investing' a
a little more capital. The injustice of
the old attorney fee law and, the robbery
practised under it., was the fact that on a.
one dollar note an, attorney fee could be
entered for just as mach as . if it were
w
one thougand. ••Now if we were called
upon to originate a bill upon this sub
.
jest, instead, of robbini honest. attorneys
of a just: reeonipense for labor, to 'punish
a few eut-throats, we should propose a
law giving a percentage for an attorney
fee, on the amount.' to be collected, and
only payableAo an attorney, for actual,
services. tet a law. be' passed giving an
attorney fee of two per cent. under did I
'ibove restrictions and then it' would!
reach, not' ,only thos , . under / $lOO, bull_
also those Over that • amount
. and would
bear wr.hjustice and equity upon all
cOncernett. The larger the amount 4
the cla.m; the more the responsitnlity of
tile attorney, and the. more he Would re 4
cOve . It will be seen that, by such
law,' where senator. Watson' entered 13.06
on a $9 note, he could only have entere/
eighteen cents which would effectually meet
all those eases of curbstone euPidity and
remove temptation, or, greatly reduce i(,
,without doing injustice to honest attorf
neys by - taking from them just recom!.
pence for their. labor. The : principle
juit as bad to take the .same fee on a slop
judgement-as on onq of $1,006 as it is ih
smaller . arhounts, and we see no
acumen or political, popularity *6 covet

this subject. •
