The Repreeeutaiive SUy.lcr.
In this sketch, the writer is compelled to
dissent from the general opinion that a
shyster is a lawyer that practices exclu
sively in the Police court and before the
justices of the peace.
The Representative Shyster— represent
ing all tho vices and villainous cunning of
his class—pretends to higher aspirations,
and may even practioe in tho higher courts.
The sphere of his rascality is extended to
every branch of the legal profession, and
with the anxious look of a “lean and hun
gry Cassins," ho is alive to the importance
of “turning an honest (I) penny.” wherever
it may be found.
Our shyster is no illiterate fool; he has
studied law with due diligence, and has
been regularly admitted to all the courts.
* He finishes his course, and is regularly
licensed and qualified, as far as scholastic
endowments are concerned. He is pressed
to remain a bright ornament to the bar of
his native county, but declining to accept
the position ot senior partner in a law firm
of twenty years’ standing, be packs np his
effects and tries bis fortune in a larger
arena.
Upon his arrival bo acquires and culti
vates tho acquaintance of several gentle
men of influence, who, from the bland
and conrteous demeanor of tho young
stranger, believe him to be a promising and
worthy young lawyer.
He possesses a quantity of brass suffi
cient to cast a field battery, and the hypoc
risy of the man deceives his newly ac
quired friends as to his true character.
Under their patronage he opens an office
and prepares to distinguish himseif, but
before long he may find it necessary to bis
success to form a partnership with city
lawyers ; his own splendid abilities “ don't
take” as he had expected. Ho at length
finds one or perhaps two “ tiusting souls"
among the young “ limbs” of the metro
politan bar, who, confiding in his marvel
lous accounts of past success and present
“docket” of cases, accept him for a partner.
This gives him respectability in a
measure, for his new partners, if not other
wise distinguished, we will credit with a fair
share of honesty and character, and this
respectability, borrowed though it may be,
our shyster finds to be a “ capital thing.”
The new firm being formed, the business
of book-keeping, etc., is by our hero man
aged to be entrusted to himself by the
other members, who exhibit a gullibility
equal to the capacity of the historic mouth
which opened to engulph the ancient and
much lamented Jonah.
Thus established, this hopeful shyster sits
down to business. How he gets it we can
not tell; we suppose partly by the respect
ability of his connection ; we only know
that we hear of him occasionally at the
jail, representing himself as the “friend of
the judge,” and great in influence with the
prosecuting attorney—and clients employ
him on the strength of these false repre
sentations.
He has always about him an air which
savors of the vast concerns of business ; he
sometimes carries in his hand a pocket
book of prodigious size, wherein are placed
all the papers relating to his legal concerns.
In his walk upon the street you observe an
attitude arising from a weak back or an
intense desire to- “propel” ; he leans for
ward as he advances, at the same time
throwing his head hack like a spotted-tail
deer; his knees bend forward, and his coat
tail bobs in and out like the bald pate of
Sut Lovengood’s father when diving to
escape tho yellow-jackets; his gait is of
that shambling order so peculiar to found
ered horses, resembling, indeed, the rheu.
matic stiffness of Rip Van Winkle’s aged
limbs at his awakening in the damp, cloud
air of the mountains from his sleep of
twenty years; and he goeth constantly
about most “fatally bent on mischief.” His
hair is worn long to hide the deformities of
an ill-shapen head ; his skin is sallow : his
eyes are large and cold—gander eyes—and
to impress you with his vast depth of mind
and knowledge, they are frequently shaded
by a bending forward of tho head and a
contraction of the brows, and he often adds
to scenic effect by putting out his lips to a
line perpendicular with his prominent nose.
His legal opinions are off-hand and
worthless, because he seldom reads the
books ; he only studied law in preparation
for Ins admission to the bar; that accom
plished, he molds his purchasable opinions
to a complexion favorable to your case
and, as a “ feeler,” he frequently asks,
“ Don’t you think so, too, Mr.— ?”
The representative shyster has no opin
ion in religion, politics, or law that is not
in common with your own ; to get a fee,
he will be your dog, your “ man Friday."
The shyster is abashed at nothing; the
placidity of his serene countenance is not
disturbed by the appellation of thiet or
liar. He expects to be called all the
names and terms known to the vocabulary
of inelegant abuse, and his digestion is in no
wise impaired by undae excitation on
account of it.
Every action of his life is actuated by
avarice, by sordid and unworthy motives.
He will often jeopardize the interests of
his client by insulting the court and the
opposing counsel, for the purpose of
appearing smart. He either docs not
realize, or wilfully injures, the high char
acter of the profession he disgraces; he
beholds in it only superior advantages to
act the villain, and his contracted and
vulgar ambition never soars to the dignity
of a great, a generous or a noble action.
He will make a promise and break it within
the hour. Truth, honor, fairness, repu
tation, manhood, are nothing to him. He
would swindle a widow wore she his own
mother. His kinsmen avoid him most
because they know him best; and yet he
pretends, with many protestations, to the
most perfect fairness, the most immaculate
purity of morals and the most unblemished
honor, and with unblushing chock he
thrusts his presence and his oily conver
sation upon every influential man ho
meets, in court or car or street. He will)
if he has it, talk of his house and his lands
(covered by mortgago or in the name of
another), while he enters (for a considera
tion) as eeourity upon a bond, and -In a
moment later bo will boaat that bo is
•* execution proof.” (
Such a man can not long remain respect
ably associated. Has he partners of re
spectability, they will consult their best
interests by giving him to understand that
the relations between them must cease; that
he must consent to a mutual dissolution, or
be proclaimed the rascal he is, and with an
invocation to the approbation of all honest
men, be expelled at the forward end ot
a "seven league” boot.
Rut we have written our article to too
great length. We have had a disgustingi
but nevertheless a highly instructive sub
ject. We have endeavored to show that
shysters have beeu generally misunderstood ;
or, rather, that it has generally been mis
understood who tho representative shyster
in fact is.
It is not the court, or the branch of the
profession he follows that makes the shyster
—he is everywhere the same bland, suave,
and plausible imposter and cheat.
Os course, in what we have herein writ
ten of the representative shyster, we have
have had reference to no particular person,
and we sincerely hope that no one will
make a personal application of it to him
self.
If any are ambitious of that high dignity
they may leave us their address, and wo
shall be most happy to make mention of
them, as members of tho sbystering frater
nity, in these columns.
If we have inadvertently, or by accident,
drawn the picture of any, we assure him it
was by inadvertence or accident alone;
and if the “galled jade winces,” let him
not speak out, else, like the ass in the
Table, the species of the animal become
known.
A Hint.
Dr. W— on one occasion received no fee
for marrying a parsimonious couple, and
meeting them about a year after at a social
gathering, took up their baby and exclaim
ed : “I believe I have a mortgage on this
child 1” Baby’s papa, rather than have an
explanation before the company, quietly
handed over a V.
The Diode,
The color of dresses is to be a pale green,
and the petticoats are to be worn longer
than last year, but are to be raised by nu
merous flock-straps held by chains of ebony
fastened to the waist by steel locks. Large
and heavy brass rings are to be suspended
by chains from the waist behind.
Hallway Decision.
In the Court of Errors, at Charleston,
on Monday, came np the case of “ The
State Ex Relatione the South Carolina
Railroad Company, the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad Company, and the
Northeastern Railroad Company vs. the
State Treasurer.”
The State had imposed a tax on “ the
gross income of all railroads not exempted
by law.”
Theso three railroads had inado no
returns. The Tux Collectors of the re
spective districts in which their place of
business was located, had assessed them for
taxation on a valuation of their gross
incomes.
Held—that tinder the construction of
their charters, these railroads were exempt;
that they were not liable for any taxation
by the State on their gross incomes. The
decision on the Circuit, granting the pro
hibition against the State sustained, and
the appeal dismissed. -
Arrival or Emigrant*.
The steamship Zodiac, which arrived at
Savannah, on Sunday, from New York,
brought out a number of German emi
grants who design prospecting the situa
tion, and are the pioneers of others who
will follow if their report bo favorable.
They were brought out under the
direction of Mr. Louis Gardner, a gentle
man who lias made the subject of emigra
tion a business. They design working for
wages for one year with a view of being
enabled to ascertain the value of educated
farming labor, although the present arrival
—seventeen in number—may not seem of
sufficient importance to merit this notice,
yet the results that may flow from a move
ment in this direction may have a great
importance to the future of Georgia. The
News says they are intelligent, happy
looking, have money enough to buy lands,
and express themselves pleased with what
they have seen of their selected home.
