H. Short. Mr. Hewitt arose td make a motion, but the clerk said nothiu„; was in order but reading the return'A. The certifi cates were laid aside. .„.. After the clerk had road all the re turns except those from the county of Warren he remarked that he would nal read the papers pre ; sonted from Warred county. . The. first return certifies that Luther • Green had received 1,893 votes and that Wm.ll.Short had received 1,878 votes. --The other certificate recites -that-Wai— n. Short had received a majority of the votes ; that the return judges had tram the votes from the tally papers- which, upon re-expnination, had been errone ous, and they, therefore, had given an:. other certificate, and state that Wm. H. Short had really ° received. nineteen hun .dred and .three votes and that Luther Green had, received eighteen hundred and ninety-three, and, therefore, declare Wm. Fl. Short the legally elected Rep. resentative.

A startling fact has come to our atten tion, and it is nothing less than that the titian pox is being spread through our county by the worthless, and wandering. vagabonds called bummers. A. case of small pox occurred in CentreVilie, and three cases are now under treatment near Mechanicsburg, and in every in stance the disease has been taken from this class of creatures visiting the houses to beg We have these facts from the at tending physicians, directly. Now, what is the cause of this? The simple truth is, that these vagrants aro encouraged to come to our county for the benefit of a few office holders. For years our jail has been made A num, for them, and our. Sheriffs are making fortunes, and our justices of the peace and constables a fat living off them. This must all be. encouraged for party and political purposes, and so that par-. Scalar famritesof a party may receive an ample reward for their services. There is, and has been for years, a regu lar system of committing these vagrants to jail in the evening, and discharging' them in the morning. They got a little soup in the evening and in the morning, and for this the county is charged .two days' hoarding and ;lodging, for the committment and discharge. The jus tices are paid also for committing them, and the constables aro paid for arresting them. TheAe same vagrants go out in the morning and backethe same even ing, and the process re repeated with - this;a and -twenties - and — hundreds,- and' the county pays for this, from fifteen to, twenty-five thousand dollars a year. An effort -was Made some years ago, to put a step to this thing, by getting an Act of Assembly passed requiring the jailor to put these vagrants to work at break ing stone in the hack yard of the jail. Ilammers were prepared, and stone hauled, but the vagrants immediately deserted the county when they found they.had to work. This took the profits away -Irom the jailors, constables and justices, and the Act of Assembly there fore ceased to .be --:operative, and be came it dead letter. Insteard 'of being carried out, the price of boarding was increased, and from $5O to $lOO added Co the jailor's salary every year. Some might be disposed to call this a swind ling operation on the people. But it is not this I complain) of. Tho people ought to be swindled. I I am only sorry it is not ton times worse, for it is their own fault. These corruptions have been laid befoie them, time ,and again, but .they care nothing for them, so that their party favorites can be rewarded; I hope, therefore, that. instead of the Sheriff's clearing from ilfteeirto twenty thousand dollars-a term, they may clear fifty thou sand, and that every justice of the pews and constable may grow—rich. The people, love to be swindled, .and the more that kind of thing is done the bet. tor.. Get the Legislature still further to increase the foes, and the courts to add to their salaries ;- it ought to, be done. • -But when disease and death in the most loathsome form is carried to every household, so that vagrancy may be en couraged, and a few office-holders Made rich, it becomes amore serious question. We do not wish to see, the thing carried quite that fur, if it can be prevented with out interfering with theprofits of our politicians. If any plan can : t he deiised by which our families can 'be ahlelded from being brought in ' contact with the offscouringii — pf. Buropoi — covered with filth, .vermine, and reeking witk,. dis ease—if .anything can be 'suggested by which the lives. of our - citizens' can be ,saved, without interfering , with the protlts 'of our office-holders, 'it ought, 'perhaps,, to be done.' Of course Ido not mean that this sheuld he done if it in. terferos with them. If no plan 01111 be devised without thlOt is certainly bet tor to let our 'people die, so that bur township politicians shall have,their due ,reward. 'AND.iA.teP~ is 4I7ivATIO e Publish this Week,,on our nisi ;Page, elm:tura of Wendell 1:1ti1144,' On La ,wyord andlmnatia Asylunis; to - Which . beg to pall the attention: of ,our iPadors. lifir - Phillips is a.iferi talented , Mitn,, and although we differ from himin -seine things, ,his noble love of fippdom, his courage in the advodioy of the right; and his Oultivatedtntelleet eemluand'our respedt. This : : ::leottire has been ex:tensively published in the loading papers of, both parties, in all section's of -the country, • and the , reason for it, is because the privliges of the - bar, and the philati: thropy of the Asylum,' baVe both been abused ; and if anybody'doubts this, let him oliher read this lecture. Thine is' a fact patent to anybody outer side of the learned professionii, which don't appear clear. to. thee in thetn, which is; that all three of them aro behind the' ago, having' tailed to keep ,pace Witinthe world's progress. It is *evident to any obserVing, man, -that the distance between counsel • and client, physician ancl - patient, pastor and people,. is . immensely lessened within thelist twenty or thirty .years, and whilst the client, patient 'and people, have been .atherint knowledge_anff_elinabing_up.i. the lawyer, doctor and preachers, are not a whit ahead of What they were thirty years ago, but availing themsolves.of the prestige Of. the past, the one assumek£9 brow beat a witness as intelligent did equally .concientious with himeelf ; the other to look wise, and talk learned about diseases, and administer drugs in quantities to kill an elephant, as • one school would assert ; or so small as not to affect a*, according to the other, and where the existence of poison is to . be • traced, peripatetic praassors of cbeniistry • from the leading Medical Schools of the State are called on to con tradict eacli other in the most scientific manner, and the outside world is left in douht„"whetlfer poison has been adminis, -whether — it — has — failed — to'W scientifically traced, or whether doctors have not only disagreed, but failed to get at the truth on the witness stand. As for the clergy, where are the;,±Erskines, and Alexandem, and Edwrirds's and Whitfield's of the past? We have clerical Mountebanks, in largo cities, that draw great crowds and receive applause in genuine political' meeting style, others that are successful as Western land speculators; and firm fixed on the ground floor in the oji_bus - tfiCss. -Men you could not distinguish from a Yankee insurance agent, e clock peddler, if you engaged in conversation with them in the care. These you have, and plenty more like them ; but where is that noble and commanding, form, that dignity of character and true Christian demeanor so marked in the face, Manner and con versation of the minister of the past, that thelneauest and the word of man= kind would reverence it, wherever met. This is-gone. The truth is, that our observation& of the manner of conducting business in court has convinced us of three things First, that in Many cases the lawyers don't want the truth told ; second, that the doctors, when they take sides, as they nearly always do, loose sight of the truth ; and third, that the preachers, from an over anxiety to appear couscien tious, don't tell the truth, We would like to go more at large into the question of the administration of justice; say. a ivord about " the lap's delay," add something on "the insolence of office," but these are so well handled by Mr. Phillips; that we refer our readers con fidingly to him, and wo do hope all the now'pledged judicial characters, of this and other States, will attentively read this lecture, so that the manner,of the• Bench may not fail to be improved by it,_ and that speed may be added to the wings of justice. Wo conclude this article with the following extract, from a letter of Thomas Jefferson, to show how long the diSpiosition to kill time,;-has been" a characteristic of the legal profession; and how little,- long speeches have evof been regarqed by the truly great. - , i' I served with General Washington, in thottegts lature of Virginia, before the Revolution,- alid during it, with Dr. Franklin, in Congress. I never heard either Of thorn speak , ten minutes at a time, nor to any but the main point, which was to decide the question. They laid their shoulders to the great points, knowing that the little ones would follow of themselves. If the p' .sent Congress errs in to much talking, ow can it be otherwise, in a body to Lich the people send ono hun dred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question' everything, yield' nothing, and talk by the hour? That one hun dred and fifty laivyers should do business together is not to be expected."—See Randall'a Life of Jefferson, Vol. 1, pogt 401. , THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

To this, de- fendant on the sixth of October, 1871, appeared and waived sOriico of tho writ, and on , the eighth of November, 1871, plaintiff filed a statement, giving a copy of the note on which suit is, brought; with usual certificate.

"settingth the nature of the defame, "as provided by rule 68." Rule 08 is as .follows :—" On calling " over. - tiro - docket, nnd- entering judg " monts at the second term, no plea or !'connter statement shall be received "unless it be verified by the affidavit of "the defendant, his agent or his atter " ney, .and the affidavit must contain "such a' specification of facts anti cir cumstances, which, if true, constitute "a good defense in law, or equity to "the whole or a part of the plaintiff's "cause of action ; and in default of such "affidavit, the court will eater a judg ment for the whole, or such parbof "the plaintiff's claim, as to which a "sufficient defense may not have been "made.'!-; That rule 08 wasznade to meat the provisions of the fifth Section of act of tiVenty-first. of March, 1800. PurMon's Digest, pages 805 and 810, commonly called the statement law, and whirl} was enacted to enable parties to bring and try their own cases ; and the rule is in perfect harmony with the said act; be cause the fifth Section provides that the defendant shall not Only "appear" at the second term, (next succeeding term,) but he shall also "make defence" at same time, so tha4, it was 'competent for the courts to provide by rule how he shall make defense, to wit t by an al& iiavit of dbfonse specifically setting forth 4. , fluNfacts nd circumstances constituting his defoe lkiit there- was no ` power in a court to dell Tor this defense any sooner than the third day of the second term, or where the term consisted ,of two weeks—the scoond Monday, and in Wingert vs. Comiell 4 S. and R. 237, the Stipreme Court reversed a judgment by ?default, entered under the fifth - Section of said act, prior to the time allowed by the act, for defendant's appearance. And although,defendant appeared before the second term, still he has until the third day - of second - term to - make his MN. tense, so that under the act of thirteenth March, 1800, this judgment having bean taken before the-third day of the second term, and before defendant was bound to make defense, cannot be -sus tained. - - But it is argued that this judgment may ho sustained nude); the thirty-third Section of the act of thirteenth June, 1830. Purden's Digest, gu, page 32, which declares L " Jf the defendant in. any writ of summons as aforesaid, shall not appear at the return day thereof, &c:, it shall be lawful for the plaintiff, having filed' his '(Yelaralions, to take judgment thereon for default of appear ance according to the rules established by - the court to regulate tiff). practice in this respect.", This • act use's the Acres declaration (which is a term of art) i nits legal signifl canoe, as defined for centuries, and thorn is not oven the semblance of likeness be tween a declaration . and i n statement. They aro not the. equivalent of each other.-- A deCittrittiO/i is a specification in . a methodical amL i legal form of the circumstances which constitute the plaintiff's cause of action. A statement is an irregular, inartistical, formless, re cital of facts sufficient to disclose a cause 'of action in tho plaintiff, supposed to be drawn up by the plaintiff himself without . legal assistance, and to be Met; by a contitenstatethent equally informal; ; and is supposed to be the work of the defendant himself. We cannot suppose that the Legislature intended, by the act of lath June, 1836, to repeal any part of the statement act of . 1806 ; and tlurtwo acts neither clash nor conflict in landage, purpose, or intent, so,that both may stand and,each accomplish its own purpose and special work. It fol lows from this. that Where a plaintiff files a statement he , has elected,. to proceed under the act of 1806, and can move no faster ,than the act permits ; and if thereby ho finds himself in a slow' Coach, the answer is that he has chosen his own conveyance. wo are correct in these the word "statement" should ho stricken from 51st Rule of Court, as it is calcir: latod to mislead ; for no Court has power to establish a,.rulo whi:4 contra venes an net of Assembly. These rules must harmonize with, and not antago nize the laws of the State. This 51fit Rule encountered a severe shock . in the case of Hickernell vs. First National Bank of Carlisle, 19 Smith 140, barely escaping annihilation, and only saved, from want of time in k the Supremo Court to complete the rout. $5,547,6N.86 400.00 95,654.85 3,698,609.34 883,970.50 69,586.70 20,334.50 5,540.00 6,488,320.31. 10,605.83 570,055.55 1,15,0,795.15 And now, to brit : 23d Doconibor, 5871, tho jUdgment entered in this else 'against defendant, for want I . of an affidavit of defense, , Is . hereby st taken off and set aside, and shall be of no effect, and the plaintiff allowed to .proceed under the statement act of 21st March, 1800. $l9, 051, 458. 01 or:rNroN or bvURT.,/ By the Omit': . per 13.

He never re-visits the old town ; I pass through if often, and every few years .make it a point, to terry over night. He knows the place only as it used to be; I have kept myself posted in its history ever since I left.

He utters jeremiads over her " improvements i" I Shed tears—metaphorically—because she so obstinately resists imprevernonts. But. his friend who has just been there, tells him that " vacant lots have been built upon and the streets extended." Well, what of it ? A people_who beget children must have 'houses to put.them in. The Most stagnant It places will grow somewhat from mere natural causes. Inertia, the most absolute, cannot entirely resist the force of accretion. But " nely school . houses have been erected." Well, What if they have?' Did this worshipper of the past suppose the old ones would last forever?

Of Perry, forsooth, and Adams, and Frank lin, and York, and perhaps, of one or two other adjacent counties 1 amazin g pro- gress 1 Extraordinary_enterprise-! _Mother Cumberland in advance of bar own child ren 1 and even ahead of one or two of her less-favoredsisters! What occasion for joy and pride I Mr. Editor, the thing that makes this man boast, makes me blush. Not that I would disparage my native county, or pluck a single leaf from her laurels ; but I am too familiar with her past greatness, and proud history; to rejoice in the petty triumphs here recited. 'When I think of the men who founded her, and recall their character ; the men who laid out her capi tal, built her churches, established her , college; and sent to Europe for the ablest teachers that cotild,he got, thils I nyi ng broad and deep, the foundations of future emi nence, and preparing to be foremost in the whole Commonwealth, ...it gars me greet," to find that the best boast of her degenerate children is that she .. takes the lead" in her Congressional district. But in these schools, this writer's friend informs him, the "colored mind is duly provided for." What does that mean? that the little blacks aro taught the three It's !go a suffloientextent. to enable them to count their wages and write their names to a receipt? Or does it mean that they enjoy all the facilities and advantages, of printery school and high school that are adeorded to children of a whiter skin 7 .If the former, they are in • the same condition—no better, no worse— ns the blacks in the country Mans of neer4 -all the old slave States; if the letter, they are Ito better off than the blacks of all the respectable towns of absolutely the old free States. Still I would not be un derstood 38 carping. Though I du not think that either the white or the colored mind of Cumberland is duly provided for. I am greatly pleased with the progress which the county is molting in this three `lion. I humor the efforts which leading men in the old borough are putting forth to promote popular ethics lot' and foster the higher branches of learning: The course of-these men is creditable in the highest de. greo. I would not be invidious, but one of them I regard its entitled to an especial owed of praise. 'A man RS wealth and highs - octal position, independent of his - profession, front which he has long since retired, and tii - devOterliithnelfl6 that easy indulgences which have'sofrequently and so fatally been the besotnient of his , townsmen—he devotes himself entirely to the publie . good, and the best interests of the town and county, which claim him as a citizen.. 'A man of learning, himself, and the eon of a man of learning, he seeks to bestow the blessings of useful knowl edge upon all who come withinghe pur view of his-influence. All honor to the worthy son of one of Carlisle's moat upright judges! . But the "colored vote of Cueberland reached 700." Well, wint i t of it'? The Colored vote of Charleston, reached 7,0001 What does either fact prove ? Thnt the citizens of Cumberland an` Charleston were actuated by such ju'it'anlf Humane' sentiments toward the proscribed class, that ..they, of their own _accord, invested them with all their*politidal rights'? Not by any' means. If the great majority of citizens in either Cumberland county, or Charleston, South Carolina, had had their way in this matter gho "'colored vote" would have been a thing unheard of till the crack of doom. What.'" deprecate, Mr. Editor, in the hotter which I • am criticising is the tone of flattery and grounpess cougratula tiou which seems to pervade it. I don't question this man's fondness for his native town, nor'de I choose to assert my o'ver, affection for my native county, wake no professions; but I cannot consent , flatter a self-love. already inorliinitte. ,What . affection I have, be the same morO or lees, I prefer,to shovi iu : a different way. 4 , Faithflil ,isre. the viounds of vit friend."
