PUBLIC OPINION.
A PRINTER WANTED.
Court! Courti Court!
Wo wonder if our people will
■ever stop having "cnlleileoorts.”
There is scarcely a day that we do
not have some kind of a court.
Sometimes it is a Justice of the
Peace that has a court, then it is
■ Hotary Public aud Exiflcio J,
P. that has a court, and then the
two lost are united into one, and
then they aro called a county
Criminal Court, and when none of
theee are sitting, the lawyers will
fall back on tho Mayor, and have
him hunt some poor lellow that has
been violating ordinances; and if
all these fail, why they mauago to
have Jndge Buss, hold a court, to
prove wills, ami so we go. I.et us
have peace without the interposi
tion of a court.
An Important Case.
Wo learn that the orse of the
Slute, vs P. G. Shephard,
dismissed this morning. Mr.
Hester, the prosecutor, having
abandoned the case. Hester bad
taken out a l’eaco Warrant against
Shephard, about the time his fa
ther-in-law, Smith; took out one
against W. R. Shephard for mur-
dering his daughter. We trust
this is the lastol this unfortunate
affair. Hot that we would he mis
understood ascenturing Mr. Smith
or Mr. .Hester either for their
conduot in this matter, for neither
did anything we suppose,hut their
duty in the matter, hut they are
all neighbors and we hope will be
friends in the future.
The result of the lato trial of
W. R. Shepiml.nhargeil with kill
ing hii. wile in January laet seems
to have been contrary to the ex
pectation of a great many, and
the decision of the presding Jus
tice dissented from.
As we did not hear the evidence,
we are only able to speak from
what we gathered from reliable
sources outside the court room.
That it was not an act of self de
struction on the part of the wife is
generally agreed on, and while
there are some circumstances that
would orirainate the accused, there
are many that bear equal weight in
his favor, and would fully justify
the conclusion that there was not
evidence sufficient to bind him
over. The pust life of the accus
ed, no doubt adds in a great meas
ure to the weight of public
opinion against him n w. And
before fully making up.
our minds in this mutter we
should cleansu our hearts as we
do our eyes when we look at a dis
tunt object. The eye if it bepre-
tinotnred with any color is vitiated'
in its discerning.” Tho fervor of
the prosecutor is not commeudable
in the Judge. To be earnest in
the discovery of truth, is honest
aud noble, .hut when it is browght
as near as may lie to light, our
judgment should he carefully
considered. As said by a former
presiding Judge of this Circuit,
'The law makes it the duty of the
presiding Judge, in a case of mur
der, to be very tender with the
accused,” and it is the glory of
cur Constitution and laws, that'
there shall he reasonable evidence
which must be “publicly demon
strated by clear legal, manifest
evidence, so that nothing dark,
nothing oblique, nothing authori
tative, nothing insidious shall
work to tho detriment of the per
son on trial.” “Tho laws must
be satisfied before they aro incurr
ed, anil legal guilt must be estab
lished by legal proof.”
The Magistrate trying this case
was elected to the office because
the people wanted the plaee filled
by a man who was acquainted
with the law, ami the fact of his
having made Criminal law a spec
iality, arid is able to reach a de
cision without invoking the aid
of bystanders, is udditiuiual reason
to satisfy us with tl.« decision,un
less it is clearly out ot the pale of
justice.
Our Judges who grow out of the
legal class, to their honor, ho it
said, generally indicate a leaning
to- the higher spirit os contained
in all law, and by their opinions
and decisions,iean plainly to what
is human, if not Christ-like.
A good situation is now offered
to a steady, honest boy, of good
hubits, between tho a l ge of twelve
and eighleeu, who wishes to be
come useffil in life, and has had
some experience at type setting,
can do well by applying at this
office, at once. We do net want
a tramp, they have been numbered
by scores passing too and from,
like a breeze of the air, that
canst not tell from “whence they
cometh or whither they goeth.”
They are acurse to themselves and
a disgrace to society,

We suppose the President will

hope he will for there is much
that needs looking after. There
is South Carolina and Louisiana,

the President desires to do right
by botli of these Stats, hut we tear
he will not havo tli^ courage

is now in tho Cabinet, and tho
