The Democrats Of Detroit Nominated

tbeir city ticket, on Wednesday. George C. Langdon hoads it for Mayor. TllE wife of Gilman, the insurance scrip " raiser," has boon sent to an insane asylum. She is tho real sufferer, he ouly a sort of unfortunato lion. - 1 1 - ■ - i i i ■ - Theke is no demand for the " trade dollar " and 80 the coining of it has been ordered stopped. We'll forward a very pressing deuiand if tha mint directora will rospond. Is N'T Postraaster-Genoral Key an obstinate " critter 'i " He refuses to recoimnoiid to Congrcss either the postal savings bank scheme or the post! telegraph scheme. Centralizaron evidently is n't nis " best holt." If the Eepublicans in the Uuitod States Senate think that they have disposed of Pinchback tho following New ürleans dispatch will pro'nably give them new light: " Senator-elect Pinchback left this city for Washington yesterday." Pinchback has inore than the nine lives of a cat. TllE conteujplated resignation, about January l, of Judgo Baldwin, of the Oakland circuit, is reportod. That $1,500 salary won't keep a man on the bench a great whilo who is fit for anyfhing else: unless he has an aecumulated fortune which he is willing to expend in the service of the public. Tho Jackson County Board of Supervisors order a tax levy the current year of $84,00, divided as follows : State tas, $44,627 ; criminal expenses, jail included, $15,500 ; county poor, $2,500 ; House of Correction, $1,000; salaries, $4,600 ; miscellaneons, ,'-" ' ; outstand ing orders, $10,000. Secretar y of War McCkary lms slaughtered civil service reform in the house of its friends, and right under tho official nose of Preeident Hayes, by issuing a circular giving New York and Pennsylvania clerks in his departinent twelve days leave of absence to go home to vote - their pay to continuo. Senator Conkling is credited witb saying that " unless Evarts, Seburz, and Key are dismissed from the Cubinet within sixty days the party will be virtually shipwrecked." And if they aio "dismissed" won't the fate of the party be the same? Has not Conkling heard of the old theological tnaxiiu, " You'U be dainned if you do, and you'll le datuned if you don'tV" A New York telegram of Saturday last said : " Gilman, the forger, left Sing-Sing to-night for Auburn prison. He had a trunk and a satcbel, and a lunch from Delmonico's." Just eo long as fashionable and wealthy crimiuals are treated with such consideration just so long will it be fashionable for the aristocratie and wealthy to indulge in the innocent aniuseinents of squandering trust funds and committing wholesale forgeries. To inako crime uufashionablo it will be necessary to treat the ïnillionaire and the day laborer, the forger and the sneak-thief, exactly alike. The sentimental talk of Gilman's confossion is not that of the really ponitent, and the respoctful consideration of press and officials toward him is not calculated to uiake embezzleinent and forgery seem unloveWe don't believe that a circuit judgo in this State - if he is a qualified and fit circuit judge - gets salary enough. A hiwyer of the natural and legal ability which a judge should have can earn much more than $1,500 at tho bar But so believing we cannot approve the illegal appropriation of the Board of Supervisors of Calhoun County to piece out the salary of Judge Van Zile, or the irregular method proposed or sanctioned by the Board of Supervisors of Wayne County to add a $1,000 to the salary of Judge Eiloy. The employment of a circuit judge as counsel in olher courts than his own caunot fail to lead to complication and prácticos not worthy o: to be tolerated, and the fees paid for such services are ouly an iudirect way of getting money from the troasury without warrant of law. The Calhoun Supervisors ciiose the more manly course. In the Circuit Court on Weduesday an order was entered discharging a portion of the jury panel for the term, on the ground of irregularity or illegality in making up and returning the lists by the township officers upou whotn that duty is devolved by statuto, and a new jury ordered drawn from corrected lists and summoned to appoar Oct. 29. The ground of discharge being good, there has probably not been a legal jury impaneled in the county (if in auy county in the State) since its organization. A singular feature in the statutory proviaions cornos to the suiface in looking up this question, and that is, strictly adhearing to the letter of tho statute - sectiou 5977 of compiled laws - no city in the State, except Detroit, is entitled to the privilege or right of furuisbing jurors: or in other words, thore is no statuto authorizing supervisors, assessors, or other city officers, except in Detroit, to niako and return lists of grand or petit jurors, yet all the cities of the State have been regularly furnishing their full quota of jurors. Sec. 5982, as atnonded by the Lagislature of 1877, soumi to recognize " supervisor districts'' as haviugjury rights, but if that soction can be tortured into even an implication providing for returns from such districts no authority existed prior to Aug. 22, 1877, the date the statute took effect. It inay, perhaps, bo claimed that sundry cities get the right to furnish jurors and the means of enjoying that right by oliarier provisions ; but as the lists to be used by county clerks in drawing juries are the lists to be made and returned puisiiant to sections 5,977 to 5,981 of the compiled laws, we do not see how they can recognize any other lists. Legislation is evideutly necossary. And now IlayiiS is " in the breakfrs ' and the mad waves dash unrestraiued over his devoted head : that 18 to say, our amiablo friend Don Henderson, ot the Allegan Journal, has gone back on him and his polioy. Don is thoroughly " convincod that the Hayes Southern polioy is not the genuine Kepublioan policy of govemuient as enunciated iu the Cincinnati platform upon which he was noiuinated." Don charges that that policy " has led to the removal of Republicansfrom power in state which are as strongly Kepublioan as Michigan or Iowa are to-day - we mean iu such states as South Carolina, AJississippi, and Louisiana," - though Don ought to know that it was the earpet-bug element and military ruin which made those states Republicau, and not the free thought or free votes of intelligent citizens. Don confesaos to having originally " favored a trial of tho President's policy of ' conciliation,' " but is inovid to exclaiin that ' the country has seenenough of its workiugs already. As a political panacea and experiment, it does not pan out beneficially for loyal interests." For " loyal " read Republicau and you will get at the bottom of Don's ineaning " Conciliation " and hate havo ptovod adverse to " loyal " dlius Ropublican interest, which thrived and fattened on sectionalism and hate, and that's what's tho matter with Don and his follow-followers of tho bauner of the bloody shirt. No wonder Don says of the policy and its proinoter : " It is a weak subterfuge of still weaker president whom the accident of a national conveution (by gomo Btrange fatuity) has made chief magistrate of a great nation in order to teach a lesson to a gulled American paople to let all little and unknown men like Jimniy Polk, Frank Pierce and Rutby Hayes alone in all future pre8idential lotteries." Ruthy Hayes '. that is good '. '. that is an extinguishur ! ! ! Senator Merrimon, of North Oarolina, gave notiue on Friday of iiia uiteutiou to introduce a bilí to repeal the following section of the Kevised Stututes : Sec. 4,710. No munoy on acoouut ot penBionja shall be paid to auv person, or to the widow, ohildieii or heirs of any deceased person, who !D any muuner voluutarily engaged iu or abettud the late renellion tigainst the uiithority of the United States. This clause Í9 tho only barrier which prevunts the payment ot pensions to to the Confedérate soldiers, their widows or heiis. And Ihat is what we are oooiing to. Post fmdï'ribitue. As the section quoted has no possible application to " the paymeut of pensions to confedérate soldiers, their widows or heirs," it is diiïeult to see what "barrier" its repeal will break down. The pensions prohibited in the soction are those earned by or due to soldiers of the war of 1812, the Mexican war, or some other war aute-dating tho robelion, unless soldier in or on whose behalf a pension is denied served in the army or navy of the Uuited States during tho war of the rebellion and afterward entered the service of the Coufederacy. Tlie Pont and Tribune well know sthat the act, of which the section it quotes is a very small part, offers no pensions to the soldiers ot any other government thau that of the Uuited States, their widows ur hoirs, and that had the aection never buen enacted Confedérate soldiers, tbeir widows or heirs, could uot have claimed pensions under it. The Pont and Tribune is not only misleading its readers but insults their intelligence. CArGHï in a trap : President Hayes, Wanting to make some Pennsylvanian minister to Englaud, vice " Sir Edwards Pierrepont, resigned, he iutimated a desire that the Pennsylvania delegation Kuommcnd a man. The delegation gratified (?) him by a unanimous recommendation of ex-Senator Simon Caoieron. The recommendation was n't exactly what was wanted aud the appointment still hangsfire. Didn't the President ktiow that the old " Winnebugo Chief" owns that Pennsylvania delegation, and that just so long as there is bri-ath in his body he will aim to gobble up the bost office unfilled, - either for hiniself or Don '! The New York Ecening Post does not think that the appointment of Alfred E. Lee to be Consul General at Frankfost-on-the Main is exactly in the line of true civil survico reiorni : knowing nothing of the Germán language aud having had no consular experience or education. It thinks the fact that Lee has been " the private secretary of Mr. Hayes" is scarcely evidence of his fitness. If Senator. Wall.vce, of Pennsylvania, has any respect tor his own reputation, to say nothing of respect for the traditions of the Democratie party, he won't introduce, even " by request," any more such bilis as that to provide for the manufacture of $K;0,000,0()0 of " galoid " coiu, etc. Better make leather medals to be made from the hides of modern financiers, a legal tender. Juilgc Hiiuüngtoii l']iihrscl. From the Lunsing Journal. The citizens of Mason, perhaps without fcxeeption, foei indiguant at the abusive attack made upon him by R. A. Beal, and, as Beal spoke his piece on Tuesday evening, last eveniug a large and enthusiastic impromptu meeting was held at the Court House to express the public sentiment upon tlie subject. The Court House was crowded to overfiowing with the best uitizons of Masoa and Inghatn County. Tho military company turned out in foroe with their excellent band of music. Mayor William Woodhouse was called to the cbair, and addresses were made by Klwunl Cabiü, H. P. Henderson. M. V. Moutgomery, Geo. P. Sanford, Q. A. Smiih, and N. B. Jones, all of which were eulogÍ8tic of the personal integrity and judicial purity of Judgo Huntiugtou, and all wero onthusiastically applauded by the audiencu. The followiug resolutions reported by E. D. Lewis, Esq., from the committee, wore unaniiuously adopted : Whkreas, ïhe late decisión made by Judge Huntingtou in the so-called University case. has boon and still ís recoiving, at the hands of Rico A, Uoal, of Anu Arbor, public ciiticiaul, and Whereas, We regard such criticiiim as improper, uutair, aud grossly uutiue ; therafore be it Resolved, That we, tho citizens of the county ot Iugham, who have knowu Judge Gaorge M .
