-le..-, E'-l'-"-.- -svrrz " C0RllESPOXIEltCE. judge ricBBAnn os Tttri iaw otf Harvey Broun, In 1S70, wa living on Cow Island, in Atchison County, on a piece of land be bid bought of W. II. rhlllip. He bid not receli ed a deed, or at taut bad not recorded it. Phillips sold the whole tract. mak. in g no reservation of the ten lent sold Brown. A a nuttrr of law, aa Brown lived on tbe land, bia possession wa notice to the purchaser, and brace Brown waa In no dinger of Icing hi land. Bot Brown thought I'hiUipa bad swindled him, and bia mind seemed to brood over the wrong, and on the 33th of September, 1K0, aa Phillip and two cinipsnion were crossing tbe river In a akin, Brown, after having watched hi -victim Iron the abore, pin in hand, bnt unable to get a ho t, rushed down the river bank, and into a skiff, rowed to tbe Kansas abort, and Just ! ether boat touched shore alongside, ahot Phillip dead. A number of men were standing Just abore the landing, bnt hid from tbe scene of the tragedy by a hi'hbank. Al most Immediately after tbe shot. Brown was seen rnnnlngnp the bank, exclaiming. Conscript! conscript P and made offtoward the bluff. In which di rection be bred. Aaqnickaait waa diacoTered that be bad killed rtillpa, the men on the bank punned Brown, and brought him back. The killing took place about nii. and in rimpany with srrtral guard, Brown waa Uken toaMagistrate'e, some two and a half or tbrea miles away. He waa given In charge of one of his friends, to guard for the night, and tbe friend awore be turned him loose, that night. It waa not until the Spring of 1K4 that Brown waa recaptured, and at tbe June term. 1?;, be waa pot on trial for mnrder S. H.Glenn, County Attorney, assisted by 8. A. Gilbert, now of the St Joe Gillette, prosecuting, and B. P. Waggener. F P. Mills, and Chaa, T. Griffin, defending. Tbe defenae put in waa, that Brown had killed Phillips In a fit of emotional In a anlty. Induced by baring been in formed, that morning, that I'hJUlpa had tried, some weeks before, to ravish Brown's wife. This rarlahlng, aa sub sequently developed by lira. Brown'a evidence, consisted in laying bia band on her shoulder, and pushing her back towarde a bed in tbe room, and on Phillips running out of the house, when ahe eaiiL "Don't ! what do you mean f Mrs. Brown testified ahe bad not told her hniband until that morning. That morning, owing to tbe trouble about the land, she told her bnsband, for fear that Phillips might kill him, and so that be might keep ontof tbe way. Mrs. Brown then dressed, and went to a neighbor's to take dinner, while Harvey waa to come over also to din ner. Tbe jury brought in a verdict of guilty of mnrder in the second degree, and Brown waa aenteneed by Jndge Ilubbard to tbe penitentiary for fifteen years. Tbe de fendant took an appeal to the Supreme Court and in do ing so, a record waa made of tbe case, ao aa to ahow what was proven, what Instructions were given, and what onea efuMd ; and It ia from this record we speak of the caae. The judgment of tbe Diatrict Court was reversed, but tbe only point passed npon in tbe Supreme Court waa aa to an error in ael ecting a Jury, C. T. Griffin, present County Attorney, having been counsel for tbe defendant, early in November last the Court appointed C. W.Jobnron to prosecute. Atthia time, tbe Judge waa on speaking terma with Mr. John. Ion, and we suppose the Judge gave him tbe appoint ment bel levlng that be waa competent and that be would faithfully prosecute. There are those, how ever, who do not hesitate to charge that thia appointment was made with the Intention, then formed on tbe part of the Judge, to so embarrass tbe prosecution that a conviction should be impossible, and saddle the blame on to John son ; for it seems certain that Ilubbard then thought fie waa a rival for the Judgeship, whom it was worth bis while to destroy. At the Jnne term, 1676, the case came on,for tri al. By this time, Johnson bad taken a very active part against Hubbard'a re-election, and If the Judge really wished to fairly and Impartially try the case, it now became apjur ent to every one, that the appointment of Johnson waa unfortunate for tbe State, and most opportune for tbe prisoner. The Jndge and many of bia friends claim that be is ca llable of trying a cause, when an obnoxious attorney or litigant la concerned : but those who witnexse d the trial of this case, know better. Xor was there presented a more payable instance of a complete change of views in regard to a case, than waa presented In this; and the reader will see a portion of this change in tbe change ot rulings submitted. But it waa miwt conspicuous in rulings on the admission of evidence, and In tbe tight grip be held on tbe throat of the prosecution, and the great lati tude he gave to defendants In rambling for testimony. In the second trial, neither of the witnesses present in tbe skiff at the shooting could be had. and the view of the homicide, and what w aaid at the instant or shoot ing, conld not be proved. Xor could the moth es and tbe manner of the killing be proved in any other way than by circumstantial evidence, and by Brown's admis sions, made immediately after tbe killing, when first Uk--n iu custody. ToAdam Earn bo and George Wright lio admitted the killing, and gave as a reason, that Phillips bad awindied him out of bis land, and added that no man could rob bim'of bia little borne and live. lie bad, in this same conversation, at tbe same time and plase, told tbe witnesses there aaaembled that he bad loaded bia gun to kill Phillips the day before, but be bad loaded it with gse-ahot and finding that Phillips alwaya wore bis overcojt, he had, tbe night before, shot off bia gun, and put into it eleven buck-shot and seventeen goose-shot and that waa the charge he pnt into Phillips. Ho stated that be ' hoped tbe damned son of a bitch was dead," and repeatedly stated, "if It waa to do orer, be should not act different" In offering his testimony, when the witness stated that Brown admitted be bad killed Phillips, counsel for de ft ndant asked tbe witness if be could state all that was stated in that conversation. Tbe witneM stated that whilejltrown and he were together. Brown talked about tbe killing pretty much all tbe time that as new persons came up, he repeated the story. Witness stated he was wilb L'rcwn en the way to the Magiatrate's, and for three or four boura after tbe abooting ; could not state all that Brown aaid. Altera lengthy argument the principal point of which was aa to the meaning of the legal phrase, "the same conversation," on the witness answers to these qufetic.ua, the Court held that the witness could litlinl'j as to thing Brown said in his hearing, and ruVd out tbe evidence before given. Tbe next witness waa put on tbe stand, and now the Court shifted his ruling again ; and when tbe witness was aeked if be could state all the conversation with Brown, answered. that he believed that he could give the sub stance of it : and on this, tbe Court permitted blni to tell a portion of tbe abore admissions of Brown. The Sheriff was put on tbe stand, and aa he would not tell all that Blown aaid when on his way to the penitentiary, bis tea timony waa excluded, and be not permitted to tell anything be said. On the defense, this flexible "converaaation rule" did them excellent service. It waa deemed "all ou e conversation," and ao held to be by the Court, clear down to the midnight guard, who had not joined the party un til about 4 o'clock, T. II, and the auditors bad changed half a dozen times. Thus, by this remarkable ruling, declarations made by the prisoner boura after tbe homi cide, went before tbe Jury. Brown had got a little uneaay at the situation, and towards evening he then began to tell about tho Insult to his wife. Thus the prisoner'a mannfactnred evidence, against all rules of law, waa per mitted to go to the Jury. Tbe attempt to get In this sort testimony bad been made In the former trial, but an objection tolt waa sustained, and it waa excluded. In tbe second trial, tbe objection was overruled, and the evi dence admitted. In the first trial, aa appeva by tbe bill of exceptions, tbe defendant offered to prove that Phil lips waa "a dangerous, bad man, and carried a revolver ;" but on objection. It waa excluded. In the second trial, the same tea timony waa offered, and objected tot objection -overruled, and the evidence admitted. In the second trial. Instructions were given aa follows: No. II. "Thejury are Instructed that if defendant killed deceased In a moment or ineanti. M.? ? '"'..T cent knowledge orFhlllip attempt to ravish his (defend ant's) wife, they must acquit or any offense. Given. 1 . 1. Hubbard, Judge." An instruction identical with this waa -asked on the first trial and ia marked So. 9 in tho bill of exception. It w as refuted aa asked, but waa modified ao aa to read aa the above, down to the word "acquit" after which itread, "of murder In tbe firs degree." Thua, by the law of tie case, aa first laid down by the Jndge. emotional insanity was a good defenae as to murder In the first de gree, but not of anything below wan msirucuoa - n. as given for defendant in tho last trial, la Identical with Xo. 4, aa refused on the first trial, and reads aa fol- -If the jury finds that at the time of the commission of tho act alleged against him. from cause opatln2 considerable1 lenrth of time beforehand, or recoUy or .uddeolv occurring, the defendant waa """J "J"" scions of the nature of tbe act In which he waa he was and Is legally Irresponsible for It and If the Jury so find, they mnst acquit" Xow. remember, thi piece of legal nonsense waa reins, ed at tbe first trial but given on the aeojn J, Th Jolly murderer has only to get eo devilish mad a to be men. tally unconscious that he win be hanged for his act, to bo guiltless of crime by thi wiao law. Thia, tbe Conrt aay a, may arise from causes operating for a conalderable time, or recently or suddenly. Yet we suppose Jndge ITobbard would hardly charge that a drunken man, mentally un ruUNcfcrasofhlaacts, should go free when e--ejed with crime. JCo. 19, aa given in the second trial Is alightly different in language, bnt In legal effect and common meaning, ia identical with instruction N. 8 ked hT de fendants in the first trial and then refused. It read aa follows .i"1?" re instructed that it la not Incumbent npon the defendant to prove Insanity-bot if the Jury find that ! '." .nY evidence tending to prove Insanity at the trine oftbelrflllng, then it become incumbent upon tho Jl" ' tWh, bevond a reasonable doubt, the eanity i'Ij ""km sand unless the State prove M" bjvond a reasonable doubt the Jury must aoqoit of any This, too. remember, wa not the law in the first trial t in the second, the Court discovered It waa law. It la hardly necessary to remark that auch an absurd doctrine ia not the law of the land. The Court had the caae ofth. State va, Crawford, 11 Kansas, page 38, before it In both trial. The Court there aay the defendant U not bound to prove hlafnaanity by npefcndrranaot e Idenca ( nor doe tbe Court aay that em, evidence being offered tending to .bow Insanity, the State mnst prove the defendant to have been sane beyond a doubt-but simply, that all tie evidence of aantty and insanity mnst go before the Jury, and If the Jury have a reasonable doubt aa to the prisoner's aanity, they must acquit Bat thia la about a near a that moat luminona Judge ever get to a correct statement of a legal propxltian, when be ia -bo clearly calling tbe attention of tbe Jury to the very point in dispute." There are ao many other charge given and refused In tbe two Irish, that are contradictory and repugnant one with another, th it either p t-t eiali bare bad this cae reversed. Sow, the reader will see that emotional iutxaity was ruled out of tbe first trial and let in, to au absurd extent. In tbe second trlaL If the Judge waa right tbe last time, hla conviction of Bruwnnd fifteen year sentence, was an outrage. In the Brat trial j if be wu right in the first hi mysterious change of views, probabl) moved by hostility to an attorney, or outside sympathy for tbe prisoner, in the second trial was wrong, and be turned a cold blooded morderer loose npon the world, and saddled IcOU co.u niwn Atchison County, as tbe price ofbU learning tbe law after Court commenced. There tea piece of bis nsual gush in tbe general charge on first trial that ia so like him generally, that it should be published tor the amuse ment of lawyera : "And now, gentlemen of thejury." quoth be, "upon you rest the solemn responsibility of a final Judgment In this case i and if, tinder your oatha, you eareJeMiy. or through hatred, envy, or revenge, you convict tbe defendant of any crime without being folly satisfied, a I have before explained to you. of hi guilt then ou yourselves are equally guilty of the same crime of which you convict the defendant On tbe other hand, if you are reasonably at ianl from tbe evidence, of his guilt of any crime aud you return a verdict of not guilty, then. morally, you are finally guilty of the same crime which be I pru ven to have committed ; and being aatUfied that your action la thia rase. In your final deliberations, tbe Jury will be ac tuated with intelligence, tntegntr. and mercy, and that yon will do equal and exact justice, both to the defendant and tbe fctate of Kansas, I now entrust this case in your band.' A Jury guilty of mnrder for acquitting a man I And gnilty of murder If they convict! What waa Hubbard guilty of, when hi charge neces sitated a con victlon In tbe firs t trial and an acquittal in the second, on substantially the same evidence f I be guilty of murder, when be careleaaly and ignoranUy, and to punish an attorney, convicta or acquit a man of hat crime f If so, be muat have committed murder when he sentenced the crazy man from White Cloud to be banged.

I do not know that publishing this case will do any good In tbe effort to get a man acquainted with law npon tbe Bench. People away from Atchlsen cannot aee the file, and when these instances of legal stupidity are pub lished, only a few can see their folly. Those, too, who, like Stewart, of Wathena, Robert, of lib watha, and Wilkinson, of Seneca, have resolved to swallow Ilubbard whether fit or unfit do not care'whetber these thing are t rne or not Iosteadof taking tbe leaat particle of trouble to inquire whether tbe facta are substantially aa stated, and tbe record exist aa here given, they prefer to pro nounce everything aaid tending to abow Hubbard' igno rance of law and hla weak and vacillating Judgments, aa lies, and unmerited abuse of tbe poor, dear saint. Thus, by subsidizing a few papers, a political demagogue ou the Bench, whose rulings hare been made to pleaao mobs, cliques, and clan, may be austalned over the most worthy and corape tent lawyer in the District; and wnen the final crash of his exposnre and disgrace cornea, tho virtuous people, led by these vir tuona editors, will wonder what It is that Is fritteriug away Kepublican strength. ATTORXET. AM OPIY liETTGR TO THE II O.f. P. J,. HUBBARD. Sim Ton liave filled tbe office of Judge of tbe Sd Ju dicial District for four year. You are now a candidate for re-election. It bas been, by you and yonr aupporter, often asserted, as an electioneering argument that the lawjers are opposed to you, but that the people are for yon ; that the cause of the lawyera opposition to you Is, that they want your place, and also that they oppose you because )ou endeavor to suppress litigation. That the members of the bar of the District are op posed to your re-election Is a fact. In Doniphan County, not a member of tbe bar is hnown to be jour supsrter. In Brown, C. E. Berry 1 tbe only one supposed to favor 3 our re-election. In Seneca, all are Iu favor of tbe elec tion of Otis excepts. ConwelL In Atchison, all tbe at torney except two, and they are your relatione, have long been known to regard y ou as wholly incapable to fill the office of Judge, and ale in fator of tbe election of Mr. Otis. In your charges against tho bar of the District as the ground of opposition, you do them an injustice, aud tii. honor yourself. Yonr charge that the lawyer of tbe District oppose ou on tbe ground that you suppress litl. gallon. Implies that tbe lawyers of the District are a ve nal class, who seek to stir np litigation, regardless of consequences to their clients, that they may pocket their ill-gotten fees. How true this charge you make against them Is, we leave to the candid judgment of the voters of tbe District We think that a more honorable or high minded bar cannot be found anywhere than that of this District, or who enjoy In larger degree the confidence and respect of tbe people. There may be unworthy individ uals among tbem, but if so, they are the exception, and not tbe rnle. Ton tvpprw litigation ! How I You have, while on the bsnch, done more to to promote unwarranted litiga tion than all the lawyers of the District combined. You have done it by rendering uncerta iu the administration of justice, and creating the impression on the tniuds of all, that a party with a bad case Is aa likely to succeed in your Court aa one who is in the right Cave are not unknown to tbe members of the bar, where you have found the fact and the law In favor of one party, and rendered judgment iu favor of bis adversary. Yihi have often given to juries, in the same case, adverse and con tradictory instructions. You decide questions of law in one County one way. and in another County right to the contrary! and often, iu tbe same County, and during the same term of Court you have decided a point of law one way in oe case, and the aame point in another case an other way. Do ou not remember that at one term of Conrt at Hiawatha, in a prosecution by the State for a violation of the liquor law, which arose in that town, (a city of the third class,) jou decided that the State bad no Jurisdiction to punish that in tbe city of Hiawatha was vested tbe sole power to prosecute for an unlawful sale of liquor; and a few week after, at Seneca, in a prosecu tion by tbe city of Seneca, also a city of the third cla, iu a liquor cao wbich arose In that town, you decided that tbe city could not prosecute in such a case, bat that the sole power to punish. In a liquor case, was in tbe State I You held, in a case In Brown County, that a mortgagee of real estate could maintain an action for tbe removal of property from mortgaged premises. In the case of Alexander vs. Shonyo, in Doniphan Connty, yon held that Alexander, a mortgagee, could maintain his action against Shonyo, who was also a mortgagee, for removing and selling an engine from tbe mortgaged prem ise, although the decision of the Supreme Court to tbe contrary wa rrd to you ; yet In tbe suit brought by the St Joseph and Kansas Building Association, by IU re ceiver, against A. J. Seloveret nl, to recover the in ch inery of a grlat mill mortgaged to the Association, and converted by Selover. yon held that the action could not be maintained, and Jack Selovar waa peimltted to retain possession ot tbe mill machinery. Yet in thi case ap peared the same attorneya aa In the caae of Alexander v. Shonyo, and using tbe same argument and antboritie. It ia not intimated here, that the reason of the decision In the Selover case waa, that Selover la lively maa ou election day, and that the corporation ha It office In St. Jor, and has no voters In Kansaa. You will certainly recollect that at the September term of Court 187e In Doniphan County, in the rase of Water man i- Bernard vs. Sam. klaquilken and Fred. Lyman, of Brown County, J ou gave Judgment giving Lj man's mortgage priority of payment ont of the proceeds of the sal of the mortgaged premise over the after-acquired mechanic's Hen of Waterman A. Bernard. Thia was right; thia was law; and it ia not pretended that you were In fluenced at all by the fact that Lyman wa a reaident of Ilrown County, and had a vote, and the turtner xact mat Waterman and Bernard and their ilent partner. Beach, were resident of tbe State of Missouri. Yet at the same term of this Court in tbe ease or Corby, Executrix, va. Joseph McCrnm.H-B. Treat et at, you decided that Treat who claimed a mechanic' lien for building a hedge fence, waa entitled to be paid out of proceeda of aale of mortgaged property, before McCrum'a mortgage for tbe purchase money abould be paid, although McCrum'a mortgage had been executed more than ten year before Treat' lien (which, by the way, waa no lien,) accrued. It 1 not Intimated that tbe fact that McCrum waa a citizen of Doniphan County, and Treat a citizen of Atchison County, in any manner controlled your decision, or that you were Influenced by the fact that Treat' fat ore your re-election, and McCrum doe not It is asserted by Treat that you, out of Court, and before thi term convened, prorised him the first lien- Thi could not be well be lieved of you, were It not aa patent a the nose on a man' face that Treat had no more lien on the premises than the man In the moon. These are but a few of tbe multitude of case of like character that bare been tried In yonr Court Xow. by auch deeiawna, you give ont to lawyer, that on. side of a case 1. aa good a. another, which, by the way. is a very bad way of keeping d"" legation.

On tbe 1st day of Jnne, 1K3, fire escaped from the drfendant'a engine, and burned up a few panel of plaintiff 'a fence, and did aome trifling damage to plalntiff'a brush land. Charlea Hubbard waa living on a farm close by. Charlea Hub bard la a brother to the nlawatha nominee for Judge. W.

"Then lightly rose that loyal son. And mounted bim bis steed. And urged, a If with lance Iu rest That chargera foamy apeed" nn til he came to Atchison. What transpired wa never told. But ere the morning sun glistened upon the dew drops, the enterprising young attorney wa footing It ont to Christian's, to see about the fire. Tho Christian! aire waa startled In bia morning ablntlona by tbe appearance of Win. Redwood Smith, who bad come off without his breakfast to tender hi service in repairing the wrong and injury done the aaid Christian, by a suit for damage against tbe sonllesa corporation. The father of tbe faml -ly was reluctant. 'Did not think tbe wrong and injory so great that he need be in a hurry to sne. Thought that if he could see Major Downs, he would do what was fair. But the joung barrister waa Importunate, and at length Christian, Sen, to get clear of the yontb, told him to see hla son. Upon tbe glowing prospects held out of receiv ing t00 damage, tbe young man said, "Go ahead."

No cards. No Byllabua. Otla vs. Ilubbard. Tbe people in the second judicial district eeem determined to defeat Hubbard for Judge. He succeeded in gelting the republican nomination ; but all over tbe district we hear republicans Hvnn in" that they will not support him. We regret that circumstance have brought about this dissatisfaction there. We bad formed a favorable opinion of Judge Hubbard as a gentle man ; about his ability ne know not. lint facts are facts. In a brief run over verions portion of the district we heard many of tbe he-stand most intltieiitial republicans declare that they intended to vote for Mr. Otis, tho Judge's oppo nent. They claim that of tbe two, Mr. Otis is very much the superior in ability, besides his character is that of a perfect gentleman, of known integrity and sound legal judgment. As a lawjer, Mr. Otis is acknowledged to have no snperioraml few equals ill the State, ' bile i is churned that Mr. Ilubbard is far below Hie average in legal knowledge; that as judge be has hail so many coses appealed anil reversed as to reflect discredit Uhiii the district. Besides it is claimed that ha is continually lowering the dignity of his position by political cunning to secure" his re-election. Tho Troy Chief, publish ed in that district, is one of the most iiitlurutial republican papers in the State, and it positively refuses to support Hubbard on account of Ins ntter nutiliiess. Other republican papers of tbe district alo refuse. to support liiiu ou the same ground. This being presidential year, there must he serious grounds for complaint when staunch partisans make tbe war upon tbe can didatesof their party that is made upon Hub bard. Hut voters are wise when they vole independent, especially ill the selection of a judge a man who is to be entrusted with the keeping, as it were, of onr property, and our liberties and onr lives. If there is au oflice in tho gift of the people which should be filled with pure, able men that should bo kept as clear as possible from politics it is the office of the Judge. This is too plain to be argued. If tbe people of tbe second district believe as many of them certainly do that Hubbard is unfitted for tbe position, they should not hesitate to do as so many of them are doing go right in for the select ion ot .Mr. utis, wlioee reputation is such that his ability aud integrity is not aud cannot lie questioned.

A good joke on Tom Fenlon, the Democratic nominee for Congress from this District, comes to us from Mitchrll Connty. A worthy dealer in elixir approached Tom thus: "Mr. Fenlon, jour nomination is well received in Mitchell Connty. ami only one thing prevents your receiving a good vote." Tom stretched his neck, and showing three teeth, wanted to know what the great draw-back was. "We never have any Democratic tickets out here," said the ender of fort v rod. "Why, write them," suggested the wily Thomas. "Write nothing," said the salonnist; "when they receive education enough to write, they vote the Republican ticket straight. We don't want them to write. The frisky Thomas hail nothing further to say, aud at once dismissed the Milch ell County friend without formality. Champion. J3T The Democratic papers are charging that Gov.

At noon, th nag pel waa pot in readlnes to raise; so, after dinner, an bands went a work, and it waa soon raised, prop were taken down, and the nag and streamer adjusted to the rope.

When the nag and streamer had aa crnded about twn-thiid or the way, and a grand cheer bad been given, a sUple that had been adjusted ta tbe streamer gave way, and down came the flag. Hajea.

The wind blew strong from the north, and it wa too risky to attempt to climb tbe pole. Imagine, If yoa can, tbe feeliaga of those who bad worked . hard to get the flag and pole, and what waa mora, to raiae it. It can not be Imagined. The air waa fairly blue, and long face were ao nnmtrou. that even the TiUen men could not afford to smile with any degree of safety. Bnt two minutes decided what ahonld be dune. Tate it down, and pot It up again." wa what fifty velce said at once. Remember, the bole bad been bored with a Urge well anger, aome nine feet in (be ground, and then the pole had been tamped with mail rock, water and aand. It waa no easy job to dig It out, but It waa done. The pole, one hundred and seven teen feet high, let down, then tbe flag rope adjusted, and aurted on the second raise. Work wa done with ade termination never surpassed before. To rally the droop ing feelings of the crowd, anvil were brought out, Arch. Campbell getting them ready for action, whilo a dozen men were telling him to bnrry np; ao they were loaded, and the flrst round started Gen. Baird'a team on a dead run. Then more trouble began, and It seemed aa though the day waa against ns ; but soon the pole waa up, and then, amid the grandest shouu and tiring or cannon, tbe grand old fiag. with the motto, "Hayes, Wheeler, and Victory." wa raised, aud the day' work had bean done, and well done.

In fact, we bad a grand, good time, and it made vote for the Republican cause. The energy displayed in raUing the nag waa the same aa had been dupUyed on many a hard fought battle-field-the following persona deervlng special mention for the work they did in aa aisting in raising the pole: John Meginity, Jas.
