THE NATION'S STATESMEN
SENATORS IN A QUANDARY OVER
WHAT TO DO WITH SHERMAN.
Mr. Garland and the Newspapers—How
Justice Matthews was Confirmed—
Ex-Congressman Tucker’s Law Prac
tice.
The Senators and Representatives are
coming very rapidly since Thanksgiving,
says a Washington special to the New York
Graphic, and there were more arrivals to
day than at any time before, which shows
that the statesmen of the country find Sun
day a good day for traveling. They are
mostly engaged in finding quarters for the
■winter, or in getting the quarters they had
already fouud ready for occupancy. The
(■Senators are talking about committees
only, for there will be no changes
jn the organization of their body.
There has been some talk of re
electing John Sherman President pro tern, of
the Senate, not because there is anj r dissatis
faction with Ingalls, the present incumbent,
but because Mr. Sherman is not satisfacto
rily placed upon committees. Mr. Sherman
does not want any place but the chairman
manship of the Committee of Finance, but
that he cannot have as long as Mr. Morrill
is alive, and tha old gentleman seems to be
in pretty good health this winter. Mr. In
galls is chairman of the Committee of the
District of Columbia, and wants to keep it.
Mr. Sherman was made chairman of the
Committee ou Library to give him a room
and a clerk, but it is a small place for so
big a man, and what else can be done with
him is difficult to see.
THE OFFICERS OF THE HOUSE.
On the House side of the capitol the only
interest is in the fight over the Doorkeeper,
which is made interesting by some charges
against the present incumbent by Congress
man Breckinridge, who claims that he has
been selling documents and doing other
dishonest acts, but there is no doubt that he
will be elected. It was supposed that Gen.
John B. Clark, of Missouri, the old Clerk,
would have a walk-over, but it seems doubt
ful, as Mr. William G. Raines, of Roches
ter, comes in with a strong backing and
asks why the Southern States should have
it all. Ihe three chief officers—the Speaker,
the Clerk and the Doorkeeper—are from
Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri respects
jvely, and the Northern members, it is said,
will support Mr. Raines.
MR. GARLAND NOT A NEWSPAPER READER.
“Is it true,” asked a prominent Democrat
and lawyer from the West, with whom I
was talking the other day, “that Attorney
General Garland never reads a news pa"
per P’
I told him I thought it was, but would
inquire.
To mv question Mr. Garland replied: “It
is not strictly true, for I do read newspa
r>rs sometimes, but I do not do so regularly.
take no newspaper, but when one falls in
my way, and I have nothing better to read,
I pick it up and peruse it, but as a usual
thing I have more reading than I can con
veniently get through with, and have no
time to dev ite to newspapers.”
I do not know that there is another man
in public life of a position and experience
approaching that of the Attorney General,
who has been Governor of his State twice,
has served two terms in the Senate and is
now the Attorney General of the United
States, who could or would make such a
confession. And I found him the other day
with "Watts ou the Mind” in his hand.
The Attorney General says that he has
no objections to newspapers, but other
l eading interests him more. He says that
he is not attracted by sensational tides, or
the gossip about the private affaire of peo
ple that till their columns, and cares less for
t he opinions of editors expressed editorially.
He reads news of important events when
his attention is called to it, and does not
often miss anything of interest to him. The
Congressional Record he looks over every
morning to keep posted as to the condition
of legislation in Congress, and always takes
several law magazines and other profes
sional publications, but no newspaper goes
to his house or to his office.
HOW JUSTICE MATTHEWS WAS CONFIRMED.
I heard a good story the other day about
the maimer in whica Stanley Matthews was
confirmed a Justice of the Supreme Court.
You will remember that he was bitterly
opposed both on the Republican and the
Democratic sides of the chamber, and got
through by only one vote. That one vote
was cast by ex-Senator Jonas, of Louisiana,
now Collector of Customs at New Orleans,
and I will tell how it was obtained in the
words of the Senator who related the story
to me:
“Judge Davis, of Illinois, rest his good
soul, you remember, was leading the fight
against Matthews, and Henry Watterson
and John McLean, of the Cincinnati En
quir r, were doing the outside work for his
confirmation, leaving the inside pulling and
hauling to be done by the Ohio crowd.
'Watterson and McLean saw Jonas, and
found that he bad pledged himself to vote
against Matthews, which made the majority
for his rejection. They felt about every
where and soon discovered that there was
no possibility of changing any other vote.
Bo Watterson started to New Orleans and
McLean to Cincinnati. Now Jonas is a
Jew, and there is no race of men
on earth who stick by each other so
closely. Watterson got every Jew in New
Orleans to send Jonas a dispatch urging
him to vote for Matthews. Then he started
up the river, stopping at Natchez, Vicks
burg, Memphis and all the other cities
which are full of Jews, and did the same
work there. Then he went to Louisville
and St. Lcuis, and finally wound up at New
York. In the meantime McLean was work
ing Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and
other cities in the same way, until there
was a general uprising of the Jewish race
in Matthews’s favor. Jonas was buried in
telegrams. He had as big a pile as a dic
tionary, and he finally went to Judge Davis
and said he must be released from his
pledge. That is how Justice Matthews was
confirmed.”
CARLISLE AND SCOTT AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Two men, who are spending a great deal
of time at the White House nowadays, and
in fact about the only men who can get a
chance at the President, are Speaker Carlisle
and Congressman William L. Scott, of
Pennsylvania. The Speaker, who hns al
ways been very communicative to news
pa|>er men, and told them every thing he
could with propriety tell, is in the dumps
just now, because he has been the victim of
several bogus interviews, and tells every
correspondent who calls upon him that ho
shall not give news to the profession any
more.
EX-CONGRESSMAN TUCKER AS A LAWYER.
1 imagine that ex-Oongressman John Ran
dolph Tucker, of Virginia, is glad ho is not
nominated as a Justice Supreme Court,
for which appointment ho ran a close second
to Lamar. He has opened a law office here
during the last few weeks and almost imme
diately hns secured a large and very lucra
tive practice. He appeared for the Anarch
ists before the Supreme Court, when he made
his debut, and then for the State of Virginia
against its bondholders, and has since argued
moro cases than any other lawyer before that
bench. In addition he has received retain
ers from some of the largest cor
porations in the country to represent
them before tho Interstate Commerce
Commission. A friend of his told me the
other day that he believed that Mr. Tucker
had received retainers amounting to 1 15,000
since Oct. 1, which is nearly double the an
nual salary of a Suprome Court Justice.
There are a great many ex-Congressmen
practicing law in Washington, but very
few of them have been so fortunate. Bhella
barger and Wilson, the former from Ohio
and the latter from Indiana, are reputed to
do the best legal business in the city, but ex-
Secretary Boutwell and ex-Miuister Foster
receive large fees. They are both retained
by the foreign ambassadors a good deal to
assist os counselors to tbe legations, which
is a profitable and pretty line of practice.
FRANCE.
Peculiarities of the Legal Machinery
Which Entrapped Parisian Officials.
Max O'Cell, in the Liverpool Courier.
President Dupiu, the greatest French
Juris Consult of the century’once said: “If
I were accused of having carried off the
towers of Notre Dame in my pockets I would
I run away.”
Could you believe, for instance, that upon
the least suspicion a French Magistrate may
order, ou his ow n responsibility —a respon
sibility which no one lias a right to question
—a search or an arrest in any private house ?
He may issue such a warrant upon any pre
! sumption uncorroborated upon oath. When
in France a man is accused say. for instance,
of stealing a watch, ho is brought before
the Commissary of Police, who invariably
says to him: ‘‘You are charged with steal
ing a watch. The best thing you can do is
to make a full confession, and the Judge will
lie lenient with you.” If he is guilty, and
knows that the ease is clear against him,
he immediately makes a dean breast of it.
and, as a rule, is quickly and leniently dealt
with. But if he is innocent, or, if guilty,
he thinks he can get out of the scrape, he,
of course answers: “You are mistaken, I
am not guilty,” and his troubles begin. He
is sent to prison, and the following day is
taken before the Examining Judge, called
Judge dTustruction, not in public, but in a
private room. There this Magistrate says
to him point blank: “You say you are not
guilty, of course; if we were to listen to all
of you none would be guilty. Now, enough
of that nonsence. You arc charged with
stealing a watch. Prove that you are inno
cent.”
Now, if the prisoner is guilty it must be
difficult for him to prove that he is inno
cent; but for that matter, if he is innocent
it may be just as difficult. If the first
comer were to accuse me of having stolen
his umbrella a few days ago I could more
easily say that I was innocent than to
prove it. “So you persist in your de
nial?” says the Examining Judge to the
French prisoner, “Very well, 1 will send
you back to your prison. I hope that next
time I send for you you will have reflected
and discovered that the best way to serve
your own interest is to make a full confes
sion.”
IMPRISONING THE ACCUSED.
The prisoner-goes back to jail and the
Magistrate begins to get up the case against
him. If the accusation is of a serious char
acter the man is placed au secret, that is
to say, not only he cannot commnnicate
with his friends, much less see them, but he
cannot even see his counsel or receive any
legal advice. How long is he to remain in
preliminary imprisonment before being sent
to a tribunal? This entirely depends on the
good pleasure of the Examining Magistrate,
who is allowed by the law to keep him a
year under examination. If at the end of
the year the case is not set for trial the pris
oner is discharged.
I should, however, hasten to add that, as
a rule, for an ordinary theft or offense that
does not require long investigations, the
accused undergoes only from two to six
months’ preliminary imprisonment before
he is brought before his Judges. During
that time he is brought once or twice a
month to the palais de justice to be asked
by the Judge if “he still persists in his de
nial.” These visits to the Examining Judge
are most dreaded bv French prisoners, es
pecially in Paris. They sometimes have six
or eight hours to wait for their turn in a
little dungeon six feet square, where they
get neither food nor air. It is nothing short
of torture this inquisitional examination in
private. When in the evening the prisoner
sees his cell agein it must look to him like
paradise compared to the hole he had to
creep into during the day. At last one
day he receives mtimatiou that his trial will
take place.
But now mark well where the system is
wrong. The Prosecution Magistrates, called
the magistrature debout (because they pro
secute standing), and the Judging Magis
trates, called the magistrature assise (be
cause theytry cases m a sitting position), be
long to the same set. Indeed, the Prosecut
ing Magistrates are in time promoted to be
Sitting Magistrates. The prosecution is not,
therefore, independent as the defense
is. The prisoner’s case is settled before
be appears in court, for both Prosecuting
and Sitting Magistrate have held a con
sultation over it, and the speech of the
prosecution is merely delivered for form’s
sake.
SCENE AT A TRIAL.
If the proceedings of the Police Correc
tionelle are dull and prosy those of the court
of assizes offer a different sight. We are
now in a perfect theatre. Nothing is want
ing but the stage boxes and the division of
the seats into stalls and galleries. The pris
oner himself often forgets his awful posi
tion, and thinks of the public who gaze at
him. He feeis like a sort of hero, tins actor
in whom the interest of the grand spectac
ular drama concentrates. Ladies of the
hightest society flock to the court, duly pro
vided with scent bottles and extra pocket
handkerchief-1. If, as is the case in France,
nine times out of ten, a women is the cause
of the prisoner’s terrible position, they ex
pect sensational scenes that would draw at
the Port St. Martin Theatre, and they are
seldom disappointed. At last a little bell is
rung. All are silent and breathless. The
accused, accompanied by two geudaAm-s,
enters the court and sits on a high
bench, well in view of everybody. Then
come the three Judges with their scarlet
gowns, followed by the Advocate-General
or Public Prosecutor. All take their seats
solemnly. The performance is about to
begin.
“Prisoner at the bar,’’says the presiding
Judge, “stand up and give me your name
and surname.”
THE “EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.”
A French jury will alwaysaward “extenu
ating circustances” to a prisoner who may
be supposed to have committed murder
under the influence of love, jealousy, re
venge or despair—love especially. They will
not uncommonly acquit a man, if his char
acter is otherwise irreproachable, who has
killed an unfaithful wile or her lover. Be
sides the idea of capital punishment is ab
horrent to the French, and the jury will al
ways try to find extenuating circumstances
to avoid sending a fellow-creaturo to the
guillotine. And even when their consciences
will not allow them to find these extenuat ■
ing circumstances, they fondly cling to the
hope that the President of the Republic will
commute the sentence of death to one of
penal servitude for life.
No wonder that there should be relatively
so few executions in France; and no wonder
that when one takes place there should be a
little excitement over it. If the French
executed criminals as freely as some of their
neighbors do, they would in time get used
to it, and make no fuss about it, and would
thus save some foreign reporters the trouble
of sending to their newspapers the sensa
tional accounts of “exciting scenes at the
scaffold.”
In America, prisoners are constantly vis
ited in their cells by people who cheer them
up and provide them with work when they
come out. In France the only visit they re
ceive is from the chaplain, who exhorts them
to pray to St. Joseph.
Where the untrained eye will see nothing
but mire and dirt, says Sir John Lubbock,
science will often reveal exquisite possi
bilities. The mud wo tread under our feet
in the street is a grimy mixture of clay aud
sand, soot and water. Separate the sand,
however, as Ruskin observes—let the atoms
arrange themselves in peace according to
their nature—and you have the opal.
Separate the clay and it becomes a wnite
earth, fit for the finest porcelain; or if it
still further purifies itself, you have a sap
phire. Take the soot, and if properly treated
it will give you a diamond. While, lastly,
the water, purified and distilled, will be
come a dewdrop or crystallize into a lovely
star. Or, again, you may see in a shallow
pool either the mud lying at the bottom or
the image of the sky above.

simple remedy, and give prompt relief. 25 cts.
