Three years ago, Mr. Procter, State Geologist, started from Frankfort with Mr. Otto Brunner to locate the first colony. It was since developed into the thrifty Swiss Colony of Burnstadt, in Laurel county, with 450 souls in the colony proper, and a still larger number scattered through the county. There are besides this six other colonies: The Swana Swiss Colony, in Lincoln; the Highland German Colony, in Lincoln; the Strasburg Colony, Rhenish, in Laurel; the New Austria Colony, in Boyle; the Pine Hill Salsburg Colony, in Rockcastle; and the Templar Spring Colony, Swedes, in Edmonson. The number of thrifty immigrants who have settled in Kentucky through the efforts of Mr. Procter is much larger without than within these colonies, the total number reaching many thousands, while each colony or family becomes a nucleus for other immigrants. --(Yeoman.

If every paper in Kentucky should resolve that no murderer is one of our most respected citizens and that the sentiment of the entire community has nothing to do with the fact of a killing, the state would be in a better way when it entered upon the first year of the century's last decade. The laws are well enough. They acquit no criminals. It is the intelligent jury, backed by the fearless press, which does the work. -- (Lebanon Standard. []---

There is a great deal of sentimental gush being printed now about the most humane and painless manner of disposing of criminals doomed to die. In the meantime the bloody murderers continue to get rid of their victims in any horrible manner that they may conceive. When they adopt a more humane method of murder it will be time enough to consider the easiest manner of their own taking off. Hanging is good enough and too good for the average murderer. Burning at the stake would cover some cases better. []=---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Governor Blackburn continues to turn his machine and grind out on an average of a pardon a day. Thus are the courts thwarted, the country is flooded with red-handed criminals and everybody is damaged except the assistant Secretary of State who gets his $2 every time a pardon is granted or a fine remitted. How long, oh Lord, are we to endure such flagrant violations of the true intent of pardoning power? []---

Pardons Everywhere.
Even the woods appear to be full of pardons. One Charles Corbin was placed in the Falmouth jail to serve out a sentence of fifty days imprisonment and fifty dollars fine. A few days after his incarceration he escaped, but the jailer camped on his trail for three or four months and finally captured the fugitive -- with the Governor's pardon in his pocket. It will soon be so that the outside world will accept no man's assurance that he is a Kentuckian, begawd sir, unless he can produce a pardon or a colonel's commission. --[Bowling Green Intelligencer.

[February 10, 1885] -
During our Circuit Court, just adjourned, James Schooler, a young colored man, applied for license to practice law. Messrs. Kauffman and Herndon were appointed to examine him. He passed a credible examination in the first volume of Blackstone, but as he had not read his second volume, the examiners advised him to wait six months before pressing his application. He took their advice and will probably be admitted to the bar next time. []
