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. A rough, Cold or Horr Throat should not be neglected, tinews's Broxciiial TnocnKS are a simple remedy, and give prompt relief. 25 cts. a box. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1887. DRY GOODS.
