* foe 'relurusTrbm. the recent elections
throughout the States at first appeared
Mae indeed. Many bad boped that with
a Democratic National. Administration
netfttagmfbe???? De
aaocracy would strengthen itself in both
houses. " The election, cajne, and. the
Jjeasaecsite evroced a woiinj apathy. Few
' districts were gained by toe Democrats;
many which were held safe, were unex?
pectedly wrested from them by the Re?
publicans. Av fies! it was thought that
we'hatHosV control eren- of the Lower
House. It seeoed a political ground
swelt^ against Glevelaod and Kef o rm.
The smoke has now pretty well lifted
from the battle-field, ^aud what appear*
ed a Waterloo'df defext/i? seen, in the
light of facts sod history, to be an un*
precedented democratic victory.
It is worthy of remark that the recent
Democratic, victory ia the. contest for
tb* House of KepreseDtatives is the
only instaoce in which a Democratic
administration has. s]nce Van Buren'sj

QuiobliDg With Justice,
j v . - . .-Bdgtfixld Chronicle . r ^
j On Monday morning the case of ihe
State against Charles*Jones, for. the
-murder of the tbree Pressleys-or, more
technically, for the murder of Charles
Preasley-was called. Major-Gary, of
counsel for the defendant, announced
that the Hon. Geo D. Tillman, one of
the most important wituesses for the de
fieuce, though duly summoned, was not
present. . Judge Pr?salev issued a rule
that Mr. Tillman be brought hither
under a bench warrant by 10 o'clock on
Tuesday morning, and forthwith ad?
journed the Court until that hour. A
constable was despatched for Mr. Till?
man; and soon after the calling of
Court on Tuesday morniug that gen?
tleman entered thc Court-room, aud
courteously advancing to the Judge,
?book bands with him cordially, .When
Mr. Tillaras stepped back from the !
stand bis Honor, to the equal surprise
and amusement of the. audience, re?
minded bim of his absence the day be?
fore, and asked him why he should nor
be ruled for cou tempt of Court. Mr
Tillman replied with dignity that be
bad been under the impression the case
was not to be called until Tuesday
morning, and that he would of his own
accord, have been present at that time.
He added, too, that he knew nothing
about tbe case, and not biog, personally,
about the prisoner. Mr. Tillman being
present, that dodge was, of course play?
ed out. - So the ^curtain dropped upon
the Tillman episode. And right here
?l?t ns say that we would not be sur?
prised if the King of the Sandwich
islands.were finally summoned in this
case-anybody in fact who cannot easily
be got at.
Now another one of tho defendant's
counsel began to read an affidavit from
tbe said defendant. Judge Pressloy
stopped him, and, calling fer the affi?
davit, read it himself in silence. And
<-be*eu p?B . t?&a*fice?L , t h c_new dodge.
Javm;?lliw.pf?Beper^iail-vawora -ihat he
had often; br^ repeatedly, or something
so; heard the Pressleys say that they
were blood kio to Judge Presley. And
upon this ground the counsel for the
defence asf ed for a e^ntinnance*of the
case. Jodge Presley entered into
some details of his genealogy, stating
that bis ancestors came from North Ire?
land ia 1732, and that bu was no kin
to our^^rellle/s ; if s?, bj aoy^remofe
possibility, Dot more tbap. .tenth cousin.
He fnitheT'Sw?ytBat -he ^??M'go on
^witk?h?. trial ot the case.^ While the
fSoUc?tSKwas arrasg?B? som ^matter con?
nected with the impanelling of the jury,
Major Wm. Gary arose, and by very
specious palaver about his Honor's
placing himself in a very delicate or in?
delicate-position, if he sat upon this
case, ,made his Honor mad-just as he
[ hoped to do-whereupon his Honor an?
nounced that be was an old man and
did not care at this time of: life t<&
achieve eitber judicial delicacy or iader
ioacy.-or something of that sort, he
would not try the case, but would con?
tinue" it until next term. Nerveless
nonsense I
The jury for the present week is com?
posed of thirty-six of the very best men
in our county. 'Here, wed ire say, was
another big bugbear in the eyes of the
defence. Would to God this very case
?had come before twelve of these very
Mne? ! ! W? believe they would have
done their wbo?e duty. 1
: And, lastly, we do not believe the
counsel for tbe defendant have improv?
ed, the' ultimate chances of the said de?
fendant, for our people, oar. whole peo?
