The people of Morgan County, and

MR. JOS. II. SHAFFER'S RES
IGNA TION.
Elsewhere will be found from Mr.
Jos.H. Shaffer a letter, which h s con
nection with the appointment of post;
master, will be noted with consider
able interest. Mr. ShafTer has been
one of the steady workers of the
democratic party and enjoys an ex
cellent reputation and character as a
man and citizen, and it he has been
in any way deceived, feels the decep
tion keenly, as a man of honor is al
ways very sensitive in such matters.
He made an excellent jury commis
sioner, which he now resigns, and
we suggest that as a matter of pub
lic good, that he eitksr withdraw his
resignation or the authorities decline
to accept it.
MORROW ON COWS.
We clip the following items from
The Farmer's Advocate. As the ed
itor should know all about the busi
ness, as to profit and loss, under conj
gumption and over production, we
reproduce them for their “matchless’’
grace, strength of beauty, and over
whelming superiority, viz:
Farmers, since wheat raising is
such an unprofitable business, sup
pose you turn your attention to an
entirely new and original industry
—that of feeding your cows pine
sticks, and possibly they might give
parlor matches. This could very
properly be denominated an infant
industry, and you might at least,
get a tariff for revenue only besides
you might get the cows patented ;
get up a syndicate; form a trust and
all become bloated bond-holders,
provided of course you don’t make
darn fools of yourselves, by over do
ing the thing by over production.
Limit the output and control prices
Cows are not built for tobacco
chewers, as two valuable Virginia
cows died from trying to learn this
bad habit. A cow that could learn
to chew tobacco ought to give cigar
ettes or a low grade of two-furs. By
the-way, if the town cow should be
given a diet of tobacco, with a box
of carpet tacks, emphasized with a
charge of powder, and delivered
through an old musket, to act as a
counter irritant, she might not give
quite as much milk, but certainly she
would give much less annoyance.
The Tenure of Judge*.
Mr. Oates, of Alabama, from the
Judiciary Committee, has submitted
to the House a report recommen
ding the passage of his resolution
proposing to amend the Constitution
so as to fix the term of office of jud
ges of the Supreme Court of the
United States at ten years.
The framers of the Constitution,
he says, gave life tenure to the jud
ges of courts with a view to secure
their independence and impartiality,
and thus, in their opinion, to secure
to the people and the government an
exact and unbiased non-political
judiciary. More than one hundred
years of experience have shown that
this purpose has not been fully real
ized. Some of the judges are active
participants in politics and some
times seem to be biased in their
judgments. A majority of them,
however, are excellent men of I igh
character and discharge (heir dutit*
i—*'i I >i ■■MIH IT" -I II I— HIM tom
with great fidelity and ability, while
011 the other hand, some haye shown
very little or no aptitude f>r judicial
work, carelessness bias or prejudice
in some classes of eases tried by them.
Some others, the report sayB, seem
to teei that they are bo far removed
from responsibility to any one that
they do things from which they'wonld
entirely abstain were they more res
ponsible It is however, one of the
evils which is vMled upon the peo
ple because there is no end to the
judge’s term, and hence, whether he
be air ignorant, pr< judiced. or un
nec ssarily har--h judge, he must be
endured while lie lives or until he is
placed on the retired list and pen
sioned with his full salary for the
remainder of his life. We believe
tha: the most effectual way to re
move the dissatisfaction and restore
confidence to the people in our judi
ciary is by changing the life tenure
to that of a term of years.

Lat fall for state treasurer ai d jus
tice of Supreme Court, when the
Republican plurality was 135,146.
In Philadelphia nearly every ward

of more than 7,000 over the last fall.
Estimating this city at 55,000

A Train Robber’s Novel Escape from an
Illinois Prison.
St. Louis, Mo., Febiuary 20,—
Details’have reached here of the es
cape from the Chester,Illinois prison
of Joseph S. Hardin, the Centralla,
111.,train robbed, sent up for twenty
years. Hardin, from the time he
stepped into the penitentiary, began
to cultivate the friendship of the
trusty convicts, who were employed
as cart drivers. He became a fast
friend of on# of these, and yesterday
the cart driver permitted "him to
jump into his vehicle and, lying
down, the trusty driver loaded tha
cart with clay, completely covering
the form of the train robber. When
the cart was loaded, the trusty
drove out the gates of the peniten
tiary, and arriving at the river bank
Hardin was dumped with the clay
down the embankment and into the
river, and it is thought that, by
prearrangement, there was a skiff
near at hand, into which he jumped
and rowed beyond the reach and
sight of the authorities.
