*publican majorities given in the old;
thickly settled counties of the State,
counties in which (pew may he one 'or

commendable. At any rate it evinces
a praiseworthy earnestness and zeal in

It is policy to have these tremendous
majorities always ready when a telling

~to this, still we will venture to suggest
7that Injustice may thereby be done to

of many of those who • are likely to be
named for this high office; we are satis

Mr. Grow is one of the original lead

of• Its• principles of human liberty for
nearly twenty years. 'His position in
Congress has always . been a conspicu
ous one, and 'his public services there
and in his own State have been marked
with distinguished ability, and the
most unswerving patriotism. His ccht
duct of the grand campaign which has
just Closed has been characterized by
thek closest devotion to most arduous
duty, admirable organization, and by
Ural, most popular test of merit, t a splen

a fine : presence, an able debater, an

of our ministers, upon entering their
pulpits may have been a little surprised
to find themselves confronted by tracts
on the subject of temperance. At such
a tilde a minister would not be likely
to perceive anything amusing in It,
but it could hardly fail .to strike a
worldling as - being rather comical that
a friend of the temperance , reform

the preachers! We are not informed as

by the green ornamental engraving

is coarser than the original, and there
are some misplacements or omissions,

MORN WORE TO DO
The necessity for labor will never
cease; nor is it desirable that it should.
However, the most patient and unsel
fish worker requires manifest results to
encourage him on. To labor for a life
time at a disadvantage, with little ap
parent progress in the work of reform,
and avoid hours of despair, requires a
temperament of great activity, abun
dant Hope, and assured philosophy. -

Let us look at the field for a moment.
But the other day there was a hideous
anomaly in our system of Government.
It made us the laughingstock of the
world,' Slavery in a republic , was an
irreconcilable antagonism, a living, dis
graceful lie. Sooner than the most sari
ai
guine of he world's reformers dared to
hope,-th anomaly, that unmitigated
evil, that living, disgraceful lie, was
struck out of existence. We remember
well when such a consummation was
regarded as too rhuch for arvi man then
living to hope forAuring "his lifetime;
when it was held equivalent to the full
est,
reward for a century 0 work amid
a storm of abuse: . 'Yet it came, early,
without heralds, 4s an incident of war
inaugurated by its mad advocates. The
form of Slavery was buried while the
air was split and shattered by the crash
of artillery, and .resonant with the .
shrieks of the maimed and dying.• Some
men thought the wqrk done, and folded
their hands for a millennial period.
Jut Slavery was not represented In
IT chattleization of men and women
alone. Slavery is universal in its ap
plication. The world is enslaved by
its ambitions and degraded .by its appe
tites. • There is Intemperance, like the
hydra, reaching otit .and into every
community. It must be fought now,
rmd ever, until it is defeated and over
thrown. The slavery of ambition can
only be restrained, not overthrown ; be
cause ambition, like will, Is not evil in
itself. it is something in the nature of
a natural force, to be directed and , apt
plid to the work of human advance
ment, not destroyed. ;
But we did not set out in this article
to denounce the slavery which exists
in Intemperance and Unbridled am
bition. There is still another form• of
slavery not less to be deprecated and
not less destructive to human progress.
We allude to the slavery of Form and
Custom.
Theantire system of jurisprudence in
this Commonwealth is cumbrous, and
hostile to the ends of justice. It is lit
tle but a mass of ' formsand customs
which have only their age to recom
mend them. Atteimpts to prune away
these useless portions of the system
have been made. with a degree of suc
cess; but the . ' essential evil, the foun-
Illation wrong, has never been meddled
with. The tinkers of laws have wrougbt
I much as he does who trims up his ap
ple trees, and studiously ignores the
borer-at the root.
"Is it any of your ,business?" Yes,
sir; it is our business. " You are not a
lawyer." No, sir ; thank God we ere,
not. Npt that a lawyer is better ',or
worse than other professional men ; but
lawyers never make good laws, save by
inadvertence. 'We can see the hideous
ness of form p much clearer because not
enslaved bytthe technicalities of prac
tice. Therefore, we speak withoUt par
ticular bias — and without hesitation.—
We repeat he system of jurisprn4enee
in this Comaionwealth is loaded ,down
with superfluOus forms, and shams. In
stead of making the ends of justice
easy to attain, these forms are in the
nature of ob4ructions. A poor man
cannot afford to demand justice in
many cases ; a d the fees of counsel do
not constitute the bar., Lawyers' fees
n this State are not, so far as we can
learn, exorbitant. But the single fact
that civil suits, not in equity, may drag
on for an age in the courts of first juris
diction ; . another age In the court of
higher jurisdiction; be sent back .o the
court below to drag on another age;
and so drag on, until the poorer "party.
succumbs, and is laid out, dead under
the load of costs.
Nor is this the worst of it. • Under
the present system the strong party can
absolutely drive the weaker to the wall,
in spite of the justice of his cause. It
is but a question of time and cash in
many cases. • The evil to be eradicated
here is loose jurisdiction. Nothing is
final as the law now stands. The plain
tiff takes his case before a justice and is
beaten. If possible he appeals. Per
haps a rule to arbitrate issues. The
award Is adverse to somebody, and that
somebody caries it up. And so it goes
on, no Court . having final jurisdiction,
as it often seems, until one or the other
party retires ruined. •
The proceedings in criminal cases are
still worse, both for the offender and
the Commonwealth. A man gets
bloody nose and takes the assailant 4e
fore a Ju/tice. The Justice holds the
defendant to answer in the Quart • r Ses
sions. The District Attorney uts in
the indictment; the Grand Jury re
turns a true bill i and tho ca. goes to a
jury. - the Grand Jury liCars only ex
parte testimony, and makes its return
according to that testimony: . Now •of
what use is the Grand Jury? TheJus-.
ties has heard both sides, and holds the
party to answer... Why resort to ex .par
teiiaminations after that ? Can a doz
en and u half men 'Judge more juitly
from ex parte testimony than one, or
three men can after hearing both sides?
The idea is absurd. The system is a
costly bham, and ought to be abolished.
In the first- place an ordinary ays►tult
and battery ease Wtouid never tie car
ried beyond the jurbAlietion of a board
of three justices of the peace; and in
the nest place, ex parte testimony
should never, in any ease,. he compe
tent,- save in making informations.—
When a warrant issues both parties are
entitled to a fair hearing. Having had
it, the .next best 01 . 4 to do is to make
the award of the Justices final in all
cases of a common grade.
EMI
The avenues to the chair of justice
should not be blocked up with nsele:a
and absurd forms. Lop off the excres
ceAces, good people, and you may pay
off Alio State debt with thR savings in
twenty years. You can do more than
that. You can lessen your taxes meas-
Oably every year. in civil suits let
the parties submit to arbitrators with
out appeal. leaving no appeal open save
from the county Court to the Supreme
Ciiurt. Why issue a rule to arbitrate
unless the suitors agree to regard the
award as final ? Why give to ex parte
testimony a credit denied to a fair hear
ing ? 'We propose to press this' upon
the people, and through them upon the
u r
legislature; and if any of o cotem
porarles care to go so much the bet
ter.

Yours,
II The meeting held at the CoUrt House
last night week, the official proceedings
p f which appear elsewhere in these
columns, . developed the opposition to
Ali.. Grow in this county to about Its
fullest extent. The merits and demerits
of Mr. G row were-pretty fully discussed,
not always temperately, or as we think
justly, but, altogether, in such an am
ple manner that the result will, prove
beneficial. We regarki' the meeting as
properly called, in proper time, and in
proper manner. It was for the second
day of the first week of Court—the day
of all others when the county most
fully represented. It was right to meet
and discuss the subject of the U. S. Sen
atorship with the people. We must de
cidedly disagree with some of those
Who spoke on the
,occasionthat the
people canpot instruct their representa
tives. If that be true, then representa
tive government is a dead failure, and
republics the vagaries of dreamers. But
more especially do we disagree in this—
that representatives should learn the
wishes of their constituents ,by letter.
No man can address separate letters. to
his constituents, nor would they be an
swered .if so addressed. We are aware
that a government by the people Is a
something not by any means realized
yet. But the:work of then who desire
the advance of civilization relates to
Its-realization. The people 'must rule if
freedoin ever reaches its better estate.
The resolntion adopted, by an almost
unanimous vote, Is fully as liberal as
Mr. Grow could ask for. It expresses
the preference of the meeting for Mr.
Grow; and in that respect It reflects
the wishes :of five-sixths of the Repub
licans of Tioga county.
One H. Rives Pollard, editor, of Rich
mond, having published a scurrilous ar
ticle touching a young lady named
Grant, daughter of a wealthy F. F. V.,
the brother of the lady concealed him
self in a third-story room opposite qie.
office of Pollard'S paper, and shot said
Pollard. " This was a few days ago. The
act, like all assassinations, was the act
of a coward, of course. The assassin
ought to swing ; but he will not. He
is aF.F. V. Pollard was a F. F. V.
The sons of the F. F. V's. believe in,
and practice, shooting on slight occas
ions.
However—we notice that the Copper
head press is fearfully exercised about
the murder. Iteannot.enoughdenounce
the murderer. Gentlemen, why not
canonize him as you did Booth? Do
yon understand ?
' Under the head of " Dodging the re
sponsibility," the Lycorning Standard,
says now that we are trying to throw
the responsibility of the " story " that
Mackey would vote for Grant, upon the
State Guard. Oh, no, Colonel, not at all.
We only deny that the Agitator ever said
that Mackey would vote for Grant, and
leave the responsiblity where it belongs
—to rumor. The Colonel says that he
did not send us his card. All right.—
Somebody, who knew his style, did
send it, carefully enclosed in a marked
copy of the paper in which the lie is
given. Nothing makes us unhappy,
Colonel.

The American Cooking Stove
All articles of value and established reputa
tion have their imitations. ,Manufacturers who
have not the brains to invent or, the enterprise to
establish a reputation fur themselves, seek to
appropriate tho invention and reputations of
those who have. The American Cooking Stove,
for instance, has obtained a world-wide repute.-
tion. 'Messrs. Shear, Packard Co. have ape's(
seven years in improving and perfecting this
stove, till it is almost perfect as a stovo, and
they have spent largb amounts in advertising
and bringing its merits before the people.
There have been numerous imitations of it, and
they have been compelled to bring five' salts
against different parties for appropriating their
patented improvement', all of which.have resulted
in their favor. The last phase of these imita
tions is one similar in design and almostatrvieZ
act imitation o f the bathe, only one letter left out.
These spurious imitations are Bought to - be
palmed off upon the pulllic as a genuine aitiole.
This is in violation of their rights; and they
have commenced a suit to restrain the sale of
these fraudulent articles ; and they propose to
proseeuto all infringements and imitations till
others cease from appropriating and imitating
