sewer, or nabltua gorinand of his own

 species, without mind enough to eompre-

 bend the mathematical rule by which the beef was weighed upon which he has grown iat. am sure that 1 never attached enough importance to him to speak of him at all,

 unless III rldicule or contempt, for his vain,

 seryile, prevaricating. and traitorous con

 duct. 1t is but seldom that he occupies

 my thoughts, but when his person Is before

 me, and then he never leaves trace be-

 hlnd. Still he would make the public be- tiieve that 1 am waglng war upon him for political effect! How vain must be the

 man, of his capacity, to set so unqualified an estimation upon himself!! Oh, Mans field! mansfield!! what will you come to!!

 Remember the frog in the fable--like that reptile you too will soon explode!

 The Judge boats of his pmctualiiy in discharge of his official duties. His mem- cry must be frail indeed, or his unblushing effrontery in the dissemination of talsehood without parallel. In the spring of 1929, when first came to Arkansas, his neglect to hold his courts was subject of uniyer- sal complaint. He has repeatedly since grossly neglected his duties. The he law ot [ the land requires him to reside in his circuit.

 He has been more than half of his time absent since he was assigned to the North ern Circuit, principally out of the Teq4itory

 His library IS at Little Rock out of hiS cir- cnt. His principal residence has been for sometime n the State ef -Asss:ss;pp;. have the honor to practice before this aoise, elWdite, and faithtal Judge; and I have scarcely attended court in his district where l have not heard reiterated com plalnts of his unauthorized absence. Where summary relief IS necessary to an indivi- dual oppressed or in danger of forever los-

 ing his rights, EslSridge is seldom found at his post to afford 1t. If an unfortunate man IS thrown into dungeon, on suspicion ot crlme, and writ of babeoS corpus Is wanted; if a faithless debtor IS about to rrn- away or remove his property from the Ter ritory, and an order 10 hold 10 boil or writ ofne ereat is wanted; if an unjust judgment at law IS about to be enforced upon nian and strip him of all his substance, and a saperSededs or injmaction is wanted, the judge whose sworn duty 1t is to attend to his post, IS no where to be found; and the oppressed individual is forced to ride to Little Rock, hundreds of miles, to obtain that relief which his own Mississippi Judge denies him. These delays of justice frequently bring on ruin to the unfortunates and on these grounds many citizens. of that neglected portion of the country have com- plained of his dereliction of duty-and with justice too. At the last term of the circuit court of Jacksoncounty, where there was but one suitof importance pending, in which suit l was of counsel, and having been detained two or three hours on the preceding day by a heavy rain, did not reach court until about one o'clock o,s .Monday, he forced my cli

 ents tc continue tllaiir Case o.l account off some records necessary to their defence in my possession, called ID and discharged the Grand Jury, aoithom giuing them time to consult tteag duties, and diourned court be- fore my arrival Ihis he done aoith tue full hnoacledge that I 'could be there ia due lime. Did justice call for such precipitation as this? Or did he do 1t for the purpose of injuring the election of Mir. Crittenden, with whom l am connected in the practice oflaw! The latter was no doubt his object as our clients belonged to numerous and respectable family of that county His dis colored publication of 1t as "pWblic sent- ment'' letter, shortly after, strongly indicated the corruption of intent which prompted him III his villainy on that occasion. And why was not this puacfiliously Honorable .Mls- credRt Tn attendance at our recent term of the superior court? There has been no reason assigned here for his absence. His non-attendance, and that of Judge Clayton, who, am informed, resides in Tennessee, debarred us of a court: there were but two or three cases, which there was court competent to try. Should not all this vex- atious delay and expense to parties litigant, rest upon the the head of this pauatatat and popular Judge2 Perhaps he has an apole- gy sufficient to satisfy his own petrihed conscience. His MASTER had a suitwhich was taken under advisement at the previous term, and Esluidge's absence would post pone its decision six months longer. Such a reason as this with Eskridge, would be sufficient for the most fragrant violation of duty. It IS precisely ill tenor with his whole life. Thus he parades before the public his g,nact@ality and rectitude in the exercise of his office, when he knops, and tue aehole Territory kaoacs, that it is erefg acord taise. He had better be silent on this subject.

 This Judicial Spaniel, and a few other whelps of the pointer breed, have been la boring to impress upon the public. mind that I have been interfering to an undue extent in the pending election for Congress.
