Judge A. W. Arrington.
There recently came into our
hands the record of a divorce case
in Chicago. The defendant was a
reverend presbyterian scamp, called
Stewart. His young and accom-
plished wife was, of course, the
plaintiff. An account of the trial
went the rounds of the press nearly
a year ago, but we had the extreme
gratification of seeing the whole
mass of sickening aud disgusting
stuff in pamphlet form, quite re-
cently, .as we said. It is not our
purpose to comment on Chicago
libertines nor upon the verdict of
acquittal by a pack of debased jury-
men. We will barely remark that
the trial proved up a, record for
(Chicago, of which- the devil would
be,ashamed. .
In tfie defonse we see me name
of A. W. Arrington, and the record
of the case contains a full report of
his argument, whereas the argu-
ments of the other counsel were
omitted. Of course, then, the
pamphlet was put forth for the
benefit of Mr. Arrington, who is
thoroughly known on this border.
Yes, Mr. Arrington was once judge
in this district, and it is of him we
are about to speak.
Judge Arrington is a man of de-
cided genius; not a man of ability,
especially as a lawyer. He knew
nothing about the principles of law,
if anything about any other prin-
ciple. Judge Arrington is a bril-
liant, but he is a brilliant set in
filth. Morally considered, he is un-
doubtedly one of the most abandon-
ed men that ever lived. He was
as much the champerty lawyer on
the bench as off. He was entirely
too corrupt to stay long on this
frontier. He tried Arkansas, but
the society there was entirely too
pure to stand the stench of his
morally scrofulous carcass. He had
to go to Chicago.
He had a woman with him here,
but'his*-wife was 'somewhere else.
His mistress becoming stale, he
took two nigger wenches at once to
his bosom. For how long a time
they filled the bill, we are not in-
formed. Whilst living with the
wenches he was seized with a novel-
writing fit, and produced some
highly embellished yellow-back lit-
erature. Novel-writing is his forte,
for he never could manage to get a
good price whether as judge or as
lawyer. The courts above could
correct Ins decisions, and a little
good sense in a jury, was proof
against his eloquent pleadings.
There is no doubt that Judge
Arrington is a bright and shining
social light in the skunk misery
city. We make no question but
what he is an acquisition and a
purifying element in Chicago so-
ciety. We should judge so from
the developments in the Stewart
divorce case. We should judge
that Mr. Arrington was just the
man to plead the cause of a brothel-
visiting preacher. We didn’t take
the troublfe to read his argument.
An incident occurred in the di-
vorce trial well worth re —
xne-cxrrtnpei tot rue prosecution
Strange but true, an emigrant
train from Waco, Texas, has just
passed through our city, en route
for Tuxpan, Mexico. The truly
heroic party consists of about twelve
families, twenty-six of whom are
men; in all, sixty persons.

We deeply regret to see the best

and leaving their homes for the
hours afterwards I heard guns be-

the distance two steamers, oub
chasing the other, and fighting. In
a short iime they approached me:

causes that impel men to such a
course. There is something hon-
orable aud noble in being the equals
of the proud, warlike and defiant
Mexicans; but there is something
sickening and nauseating to be
forced upon a level with the negro
race.
No better blood ever coursed
through human veins than the na-
tive American blood. There is no
evidence to show that the native
Americans were ever cannibals,
which is more than can be said of
Britons, from whom sprang one of
the noblest races of men.
Candidly, we don’t like this emi-
grating to Mexico, and feel to say,
better bear thfe ills we have, yet
awhile, than fly to those we know
not of. The black vomit which a
radical Congress has spewed upon
the South, not unlike that disease,
physically considered, will disap-
pear upon the appearance of frost;
and we incline to the opinion that
the November frosts of New York,
Maryland and New Jersey have
about cleared the atmosphere, and
killed the disease. Candidly, we
don’t like emigrating to Mexico,
unless better guarantees of peace
are given than any we have yet seen.
reached the Arcadi and gave her :
broadside, to which the Arcadi re
plied in the same manner. As soon
as the two steamers were close to-
gether, the sailors gan firing with
their rifles. While the fight was
hottest, two Turkish men-of-war
made their appearance round the
Cape of Kriometopo. The position
of the Arcadi then became very per-
ilous. At that moment, the captain
of the Arcadi, with great presence
of mind and coolness, turned his
little steamer, faced the three ene-
mies’ vessels, and passed through,
them at full speed, amidst a tremen-
dous fire from the large guns and a
shower of bullets.
The Arcadi soon approached the
land, and after coasting some dis-
tance along the small bay, arrived
near the cape of Kriometopo, where
the captain ran her aground in or-
der to save the crew. The fighting
lasted till 1 o’clock in the morning.
At that time the three Turkish ves-
sels cast anchor near the Arcadi.
I heard a sharp firing of rifles dur-
ing the rest of the night, and stay-
ed until morning to ascertain the
result. I then saw the Arcadi in
flames, but I could not learn wheth-
er she had been fired by her cap-
tain or by the enemy. The Turk-
ish boats were full of wounded,
who were transported to the Turk-
the Izzedin
ed away in a very damaged eondu
tion.
Sad.
When the emigrant train from
Waco, bound for Tuxpan, passed
our office, preparatory to ferrying
over to the Land of God and end-
less Liberty, we could not help feel-
ing a little sad, especially so, upon
seeing a number of little' flaxen-
headed fellows peeping out between
the ambulance curtains. We asked
ourself the question: Has the con-
queror established a despotism
where once the broadest liberty ex-
isted ? Let that train of emigrants
going straight into the jaws of a
gaping hell answer the question.
What! Flee to Mexico, to escape
American despotism ! Has it come
to this! Had not the controlling
powers better halt a moment in
their mad career and" think of this
simple incident, of Americans flee-
ing from Americans to the worst
governed country but one on the
face of the earth ?
came disgusted with the pettifog-1

sporadically exclaimed, ‘T don’t like ° e af 1101 *iein Actions is a
such pettifogging.” Thereupon the
Santa Anna's Escape.
The old plotter has been let off
with eight years banishment from
Mexico. Tried before a military
commission of Juarez’s own creation
Stanton and Holt inventors and
patentees-he can yet call his
life his own. Clearly his escape is
not owing to any clemency or com-
punctious visiting of conscience in
Juarez. Such human weaknesses
are not more alien to the Comanche
or the tiger.
Santa Anna still lives because
the Washington Government said
he should not die. Of this, there can
be no moral doubt. American inter-
vention has saved him. But Max-
imilian, Miramon, Mejia, and a
host of other heroic spirits have
been shpt to death. They were
upholding a de facto government,
that had arisen upon the downfall
of the rule of the bandit and the
military adventurer. Santa Anna
was no better than a filibuster. The
power that rescued the latter could
have saved the other. But that
power paltered in a double sense
with the world, and when the vic-
tims of its suave but deadly duplic-1

Judge reprimanded attorney Smith,
and informed him that, the court
would not permit such remarks to
be made about the eminent and
distinguished counsel (Judge Ar-
rington) for the defense. This goes
far to prove that Arrington has
found a society, on which he has
climbed to the top round of the
ladder. We almost wonder if
Judge Arrington did not think of
his former nigger wench mistresses
when he heard that stunning com
pliment ?

The radicals swopped the northern

So nearly as we can figure it up the
democrats have the best of the bar-
gain. For every southern State
which the radicals can carry by dis-
franchising the whites and voting
the blacks,., the democrats get one
northern State; and all know that
one big northern State is worth two
little southern States. We are in-
clined to think the radicals are

gers, and it is equally certain that TIie Courier knows where our
