IdOMAS F. E1cAhlDOE b. It seems as if this individual was deter nined, as far as in him lies, to annihilate he law of the land, and substitute in its taee the arbitrary conclusions of his own slI

 At inc present term of the Indepen- ltnce Circuit Court, man by the name .ef JOHN FosrER, was indicted by the Grand Jury, for horse stealing. After the witnesses ofthe prosecution had gone home, fos7ER came in with his witnesses, applied flor baa, and Eskridge gra'ted it.

 He did also, at the Lawrence Circuit Court admit to bail WILLIAM P. RICE, vho was indicted, at the recent term of that Court, for MURDER. 4he persons

 who haie44 Rice .ce, VIC have t :;pon good ,u

 thonty, are his relations, are not, altogether,

 worth more than $500, and intend leaving the country shortly, Rice and all.

 These are both most fragrant violations of the Consultation of the United Stotes, of the Organic Laac, and tue settled Practice and La'o of the land. The prisoners have aoth been indicted for offences, of which the penalty is DEATH. A Judge is not al- lowed to admit to bail, in cases punishable with DEATH, after Grand Jury have ionnd true Bill of Indictment, which had been donein both these cases.

 What then does Thomas P. Eskridge in- Rnds Does he mean to trample on all Law and to establish inits place, the ghast- ! Y lmaggnnggs of his own imbccile judg- aiefts Does he not know, that he is wan- onlY committing high and heinous of- lence againstthe sacred dignity of the Law9 VI IS he in truth, so pitiably ignorant of als trade, as to suppose that he is acting asfeeably to Law and Precedent
