Orton, has been dis­ barred, and refused admission to prac­ tice In any of the courts of Wisconsin. He's an "Insane crank," and should b« bung. Orton. according to liis own admission, "advised one Russell Wheel­ er how to kill a man, and be justified in the law." Wheeler killed his man. aad Orton defended him. In his de­ fense he adopted the somewhat novel bat very effective plan of buying off witnesses whose testimony was "hos­ tile against his client." and cleared the murderer. The facts of the busi­ ness came out on trial to disbar Orton. who has been found guilty, and ordered to be cut oft from the State bar by Judge Small. The practices of such Jawers aided by imbecile judges, has made American courts a stench in the nostrils of the world.

EDITOR TLAIXDEALKR:--There ata some words that are aptly spoken and there are many that were better un­ spoken. There areVonie Stems of news that are aptly published and there are many that were better unpublished.-- We of course cannot always discrimi­ nate between the wheat anil tnres un­ til there is maturity In regard to each and therefore jre not the nroper judge of »>ur own saying* and doings. These preliminaries to this effort at newspa­ per c?»rrespoiuiencc have been suggest­ ed by the progress and results ot three very impartant legal investigations which have attracted the attention of the masses. Two of these investiga­ tions are local and the third is national And while the importance of these in­ vestigations are vastly different, there is a vein of similarity which Interests mankind in general. Hence the zeal­ ous perusing of the paper?, discussions and comments noticeable in every cir­ cle. The result, of the case of Bunker v& Murphy et al, while the trial was for private damages, was really a peoples trial to 'est the rights of one citizen who had been promoted by the peoples suffrage till he outgrew bis surround- vrgs, or in common pariatiee ontgiew his clo;he*, to use liis promotion and fungus growth to the detriment of the rights of' others, who bv constant and persevering application to private pur­ suits lias been rewarded by success.-- The case of the people vs Garrison, while in a neighboring county, was purely local, and while we are loth to believe that Jo. Garrison, as he is fa­ miliarly known among the boys, is guilty, it is a solemn fact that nine- tenths of the expressions heard on our streets, from those who give utterance to their convictions, are unfavorable to innocence. The national trial to which we refer is being watched by the world and hence nothing of news therein, except as the trial advances. We mention it in this connection by way of comparison. When our laws were so changed as to allow, in both civil and criminal cases, a party to be a witness inhis own behalf, we had grave doubts of its propriety, and the progress of the three proceedings, it rightly reported, increase rather than decrease our doubts In that behalf, and instead of doubts, we have fixed opin­ ions that the change was unwise and delaterious both to public and private interests. In all these cases. If correct­ ly reported, the defendants have tes­ tified in their own behalf, si ml in their zeal for self have proved the most damaging witness against self. So much so in the first named ease that tiie plaintiff's attorney looked upon their side as "rather thin" until :he defendants supplied the deficiency by their own testimony. In Garrison's case bis own statement was so flatly contradicted by disinter­ ested witnesses, we are ooliged to be-' lieve that in Iii3 case silence would have served him better. In Guiteau's case, if we are any judge of sanity or Insanity, so far as relates to personal responsibility, nearly every reply to Judge Porter'scross-lnterroeatives has been convincing proof of his perfect ability to reason upon the question of responsibility. His case is. of course, as yet undecided, and how jurymen will consider his condition of mind, none can tell till their verdict is an­ nounced. But let ns take one of his many maneuvres. On occasion lie made the remark that he had dropped Julius be­ cause that sounded too nr/gerj / , but having bethought himself he at once saw that such remark; would not make impressions favorable to his side upon the iniuds of the two colored jurymen, lie embraced the first appropriate op­ portunity to apologize by saying that he dropped it twenty years ago when Negroes were not esteemed as at the present, and his remarks had reference solely to former prejudices against the race. If we do not greatly mistake when the experts, who are carefully noting his idiosvncracies. irive their testimony, the irresponsible dodge will be exploded. We had the pleasure, not inauv days since, of reading a letter fmm Dr. fc>. C. Green, who is spending the winter very pleasantly at the Jefferson Med­ ical College. Philadelphia. The Doc­ tor was a very successful practitioner dur'ng the ten years of his practice 11 this community, aiyl liis many patrons regretted uis departure. lie was a thorough student in his profession and kept himself well posted in regard to constant and almost d ii!y introduction of new theories in the practice. We think we speak advisedly when we say that a large percentage of his old patrons will greet his return to his former field of successful labor in Woodstock and vicinity.should he con­ clude once more to try his fortune in WAUCONDA. «-8TT||Sr.RipTio>rs for tuo rr.vrwnBALKitt SHI be received in Waucoud* AT F, t>, arrison's Drug Store ana &t the Post Office) ISniTon PLATNI>EAI,»«:--Benl estate continues active.

Woodstock, De<-,. 5th, 18S1 f9"There It a lively disturbance In the Bourbon camp in South Carolina. Judge T. K. Mackey has made a speech which indicates a willingness ou his Jtart tO become a sort of Mahone for hit State. He taid there was at pres- eut very little, if any, progress in 8outh Carolina, and that prosperity would never return until a radical change was made in the political affairs »f the Stale. He advocated a com­ promise by the whites with the blacks, aud believed the two should work out their fortunes together, shoulder to fthoulder. lie thought great injustice w** done the colored people In not allowing tiivui a lair re|M«*entatiou in Che Legislature, IOIIJJ ;n the race ittue was injected into the* political campaigns and party lines were drawn ft rigidly as to make it criminal for Iw)i 1 to express their real sentiments. |i«st so lonsr Will northern men and northern capital slum the soil of Month Carolina, and just so long would the State remain in the background of progress. He wanted to see the (lav when any man. black or white.

I BOUGHT My S U I T At E. LAWLOS' In Lansina's Block, lAlcHenry III. CO TO E. Lawlus, described his laBt interview with Blaine, wi«r rather hurt his feelings by his abrupt man­ ner, which was so in contrast with his pre­ vious cordiality. Witness then determined to see the President, and, with a considerable exhibition of excitement, related his efforts to see the President. Witness continued: "The party was at loggerheads, and I got very much worried over it I wrote several notes to th© President, telling him something must be done, but he paid no attent'*a» fio it. I kept worrying," he continued, over the po­ litical situation, and I knew this nation was coming to grief." Witness was then anked as to the inspiration which he had said impelled him to remove the President, and replied: "The inspiration, as I understand it, is where a manV mind is taken possession of by a su­ preme power. Where he acts outside of him­ self." On the Wednesday evening after Conkling'g resignation, the assassin said he thought if President Garfield was out of the way all would go well. He tried to shake it off, but it grew. In a fortnight's time it had become a fixed resolve. He never has doubted since that time, about the 1st of June, that he was inspired. He prayed and prayed, asking God, if Garfield were not to De thus removed, to get rid of him in some other way. The re­ moval was necessary to save the nation from ruin. " I knew the Lord employed me because be always employs the best material. I felt the Lord wanted me to do it, to advertise my book." Gutteausaid bfi bolieved in special Provi­ dences, andliaWno concern about his personal safety. He felt the Lord and Government would take care of him. "The Lord," he said, " is no fool. He uses the best means for his work." The assassin then briefly recited his arrest and incarceration with M little exhibition of feeling as if relating the commonest incidents of every-day life. "When I was finally lodged in jail," said Guiteau, "I felt happy. 1 said, 'Thank God it is all over rith."" After a few questions had been propounded and objected to, Guitean broke out: " I want to define my ponition on this point. I believe Gen. Arthur is a friend of mine. He ought to be, for I am the man that made him, or my in­ spiration did, but I have never yet asked a favor of him, and I don't suppose 1 ever shall. I have had an idea in my head for twenty years that I should be President of the United States. I (suppose the people think I have been badly cranked about that. • I had that idea in the Oneida community. I went to Bostoa with the distinct feeling that I was on the way to the White House, and I shall make it yet If I am ever President it will be by the act of God.

He was asked if he laid in wait for the P dent in an alley by night, and after a b wrangle said: "Now you are on tnat, I'll you a little news. I'll tell you what occi that evening of July 1." Witness then tailed his movements up to the time he the President and Secretary Blaine emi from the house of the latter walk down Fifteenth street. Said Guite "They walked along so lovingly, arm-in-a: they had their heads together like two sch girls. Their fellowship was delightful, it confirmed mo iu the belief that Garti had sold himself, body and soul, to Blaine, s that Blaine was uning him to ruin the stalw wing of the Ilepublican party." Guiteau became furiously excited, and plunged into wild harangue, denouncing Blaine as a bold, wicked, designing man, who wanted to run tiie Republican party in revenge for the twt times he had been slaughtered by political con ventions.

It is only in I ooks that he re­ solves from the first dawning of ambi­ tion to become owner of such an estate, or bishop of such a see. But he meAns to get on, and labors to that end. He fixes his thought beyond immediate self-indulgence, chooses his friends as they will help the main design, falls in love on the t>ame principle, and habit­ ually deferring to a vague but glowing . future, learns to work toward it, and for V i its sake to be self-denying and long ' sighted. His instincts quicken; he puts forth feelers, which men who take their pleasure from hand to mouth, have no use for; he lives in habitual caution, with an eye always to the main chance. Thus, he refines and enhances the nat­ ural discretion which doubles the weight and value of every other gift, and yet keeps them on an unobtrusive level, leaving itself the most notable quality, till he is universally pronounced the man made to go on by people who do not know that it is a steady will that has mad* him what he is." ̂ Contested Seats in the House.
