•oat unprincipled man were makiog
an elf *rt to perpetrate upoa the Cov

ki’fleet and warmest feeling for the

Georgia and resumed the practice of
law. Hia brilliancy of intellect and
ability as a lawyer aeon won him
marked distinction among the bar of
the state, and upon every aide hie
praUee were sounded.
HIS POLITICAL VIEWS
were not considered by his easocia*
tea ef a dilf rent political persuasion.
It waa well known to many of them
that he was a republican of the
strongest and moat uncompromising
calibre, and was always a strong ad
wests ef emancipation, having
placed bita-elf on record many yeara
hef**re the war. He a> tended close
ly to his profeaion, and took no ac
tive part iu politics, although be
freely expressed hiuiself when
askt'd fo do ro by h!s fri nd*. He
was
m< st proinibent republican in the
C-,i. Akertnan led the Grant
whu f’b** laid republican conven
tion Meld i rhi-* and made a
stront? s|H>ech favoring the
cf a Grant delegation to Chicago,
Hr whm partially successful in his
endeavors, and eight delegaKea were
secured for th candidate of hia
(•h*it^.
toe manners of c l akerman
were in ir* iike those if a woman
than afy mao 1 ever met. They
were gentle and easily control Id,
and never was it konw’i that he t“-
esme angered or violent, even under
the m*)-t trying circumstances. He
leavefc a wife and a lstrge family in
comfortable circumstances, having
ac<*unriulae*l a small fortune from
his fmra nse and very lucrative busi

there is hardly any doubt but that

tightly preas-d agsiiiat. hia sides. H*
wore a long ul*ter, re chiug to hi
anklea, and on his head a hgh peak
ed hat, procured during his travels
in the Tyrol. His face was solemn.
“Hello, Mark,” said I; * 4 what are
you doing on th*l tax? Merry
Christmas! ” He siffly incliaed hi
head. “Didn’t you know,' ha de
manded, in slow, grave tones, “that

centuries? What in thunder do you
wean by talking Christaus la my

“Come, come,” said I, “ao joking.
Get down off the box aad go to
where it’s warm,”
“If you refer to the pedestal,” he
replied, “I can’t get down unless I’m
lowered. And as to the tempera
ture, it has little effect oa a mono
lith, seasoned as I am seasoned.”
“You look like a monolith,” 1 ad*
milted, “in that ulster and that hat.”
“You really think so ? ” he ea
gerly asked. His features telexed
to an expression something iike eons
pl&cency, and ha sat down upon tbe
edge of the box and began to drum
against the side with his heels. “You
really believe I’m the genuine, only
original obelisk?”
“Olielisk! ” said I. “I saw the
obetfek day before yesterday in Hew
York. They’ve got it as far m the
trestlework. You’re a humorist, not
an obelisk.”
Mark Twaiu immediately ascend
ed the box again, while his features
once more assumed their stony look.
“Y*ai have been imposed u|xri,”
lie remarked with grost dignity.
“That thing in Now York is b<-

I took ofl* my hat. This seemed to
please him a good deal.
“Excu*** me,” he weot on, “if I
am a trifle touchy on the subject.
Every monolith is naturally sensi

in question. Don’t I appear stiff
and hard enough to satisfy the most
skeptical ? ”
“You look stiff and hard enough,”
said I, “hut wnere are your hiero

“Ju*t what I expected," he re

of an iaalienabic right. There if
nothing new in ths senator's in for*

should take sides with the gov ru
men! against southern outlawry ia a
trifle new. The cat which he thus
lets out out of the bag h w been de
clared to be a creature of republican
indignation, and the southern side of
ths story hs encouraged the view
that revenue nAoer* thcmeolvea

collecting ths revenue in Georgia
will be transformed from an outra

an acceptable exercise of law, with
