What is Consistent with an Unbiassed
Judiciary 1
The trial of John II. Surratt, which has taken
plaot at Washington, has developed a line of
oonduct on the part of certain members of the
bar which is as novel as the verdict, or rather
the non-verdict of the jury. Setting aside the
testimony adduced during the trial, and the
singular method of examination adopted by the
counsel for the prisoner, we would call atten
tion to the amazing and disgraceful conduot of
Joseph II. Bradley, Sr. Our readers cannot
have forgotten the insolence which character
ized that gentleman's conduct, and the arro
ganoe of his tone at the very outset of the
oase. But not content wi.h insult, he went
further, and after the adjournment of the
Court assaulted Judgn Fisher in the hall of
justice, seized on him, sick as he was, and
within the very confines of the Court struok its
presiding officer. Nor was this assault for
any conduct of his Honor while off the bench.
Had it been that a personal diffioulty
had occurred away from the routine of official
duty, or had it been that the grounds for
offense were laid at any other time than during
the Bitting of the court, tuch conduct might
have had some feeble palliation. It is not to
be supposed that the ermine can protect its
wearer when the wearer transgresses in his
private character the courtesy which is due
from a gentleman to a gentleman. For words
spoken off the bench the jule must be as
responsible as the common drayman. But
when in the discharge of his official duties,
when from his seat on the bench a judge has
occasion to censure or correct an attorney
practising before him, and to compel from the
attorney that deference which is due to the
official position of the judge, it is contrary to
all principles of common sense, it is sub
versive of all freedom and unbiassed
aotion of the judiciary, to allow the
attorney to avenge his assumed wrong by an
assault after the Court has adjourned. Sup
posing even that justice be on the side
of the lawyer, and that the judge was
really the offender, who is to deoide whether
the grounds for an assault are sufficient or
not f Ifl every lawyer to be the only arbitra
tor as to whether the court has transgressed
its privileges ? Is every judge to be exposed
to the rage of a defeated practitioner T If such
hi to be the rule, then justice is a farce, the
judiciary is no longer free, the court is little
better than the prize-ring, and the only
quality necessary for a successful advooate is a
well-developed musole. Why not extend the
principle further, and let eaoh juror be respon
sible to the lawyer, and let him form his ver
dict with the fear of a castigation before his
eyes f Then would Heenan and Morrissey
excel, and Webster and Benton and Dallas
take inferior places, to make room for the
champions of the prize-ring.
Mr. Bradley assaulted Judge Fisher for a
decision on the bench. The case was a pecu
liarly aggravated one, and had it oocurred in
our city would have received an instantaneous
punishment. Within an hour after the act
the name of the offender would have ceased to
appear on the list of attorneys. Judge
Fisher, however, pursued a milder course,
fjii allowed the trial of Surratt to continue
' and come to a conclusion before he took any
step towards vindicating the dignity of the
Court. When, however, the jury had been
discharged, he then directed that the name of
Mr. Bradley be erased from the list of attor
neys. In doing so he acted in the only man
ner possible which was consistent with the
respect of the Court and the preservation of
the dignity of the judicial tribunal. The fact
that four days previous to this aotion Mr. Brad
ley had written a challenge, is another argument
to prove that the expulsion of such a member
of the bar was eminently proper. The state
ment that the bar of Washington is opposed
to such an action is, we believe, an error.
Every right-thinking lawyer will heartily
approve of the preservation of the freedom of
the bench, and the aotion of Judge Fisher was
essential to a vindication of the sanotity of
the ermine, and the preservation of the free
dom of that department of government on
which the people must entirely rely for
justice.
Rumored Intention of the President to
Kesign.
Thb rumor that President Johnson was
about to resign is said to have prevailed ex
tensively in Washington for a day or two past.
We have no means of knowing upon what
basis of fact, if any, this report obtained cur
rency; but we are very sure that such a step
on the part of the President would be the most
popular act of his administration. lie has lost
the confidence and respect of the oountry, irre
spective of party. He is totally unable to
carry out his own line of policy, and he keeps
the nation in a chronic condition of agitation
by his persistent and exasperating efforts to
defeat the policy of the people. lie is the
great impediment to a peaceful and prompt
reconstruction of the Union. Why, then,
should he not resign? He was elevated to the
Presidency not by the vote of the people, but
by the pistol of an assassin; he has not ad
ministered the office in accordance with the
Will f the people; he has .sunk lower and
lower in popular estimation every month that
has held office; if he escapes impeachment
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,
and removal it will be by the merest
chance; he is the eouroe of national dis
quiet and exasperation; he is doing no good
but much evil where he is; and why not,
therefore, resignf Why not do ot thing whioh
everybody will recognize as most appropriate
to be done?
The fortune of Chief Justice Chase.
A paragraph has been floating the rounds of
the papers that Chief Justice Chase was a poor
man before the war, and that he now returns
an enormous inoome, derived from illegiti
mate gains while he held the post of Seoretary
of the Treasury. That a public man so promi
nent as the Chief Justice, and so fearlessly
outspoken in his opinions, should oreate the
hatred of many, aud that his character should
be aspersed, is no cause for surprise. As the
father of the great system of National Banks,
it immediately occurs that a pecuniary assault
would have a seeming foundation.
Other publio men as pure as Judge Chase
hare suffered the same. But the slander in
the present case is without the shadow of a
foundation. The Chief Justioe was a rich man
before he went to Washington iu any capacity,
and during the whole of his publio life his ex
penses have always exceeded his salary.
Living with open liberality and ex
tended hospitality, he has always been
compelled to draw on his private fortune
in order to keep np this style of living.
The story now so industriously circulated is
only a base and malicious falsehood set on foot
to injure the Chief Justice, and to affect his
future political prospects. It strikes a man in
vulnerable in his honesty, and will fail to
damage the reputation of a statesman of so
high a standing as the head of our national
judiciary.
The President's Dilemma.
We do not wonder that President Johnson
moves slowly in the Stanton matter. Should
he attempt to remove the Seoretary of War
in violation of law, he would certainly furnish
a clear and undisputable case for impeaohment.
That the intent of the Tenure of Office bill was
to take from the President the power of re
moving Cabinet officers, without the consent
of the Senate, is indisputable; and the quibbles
whereby this plain intent of the law is sought
to be avoided, might not possess much weight
with the Senate as a high Court of Impeach
ment. On the other hand, if Stanton is merely sus
pended, the whole matter will go at onoe to
the Senate upon its assembling, where he will
be fully sustained, and will return to his office
with all the prestige of triumph over the Pre
sident. The dilemma is an ugly one, aud Mr. John
son should have studied it more carefully
before he encountered it.
The urratt Case.
The Surratt case has terminated in a disagree
ment of the jury. While the wretched crimi
nal thus escapes a legal conviction as one of
the murderers of the President, we doubt that
the publio judgment of his connection with
that crime will be at all modified thereby.
Enough has been developed on the trial to
show conclusively that he was one of the con
spirators. Whether he was aotually present
in Washington on the day of the assassination
matters little. The jury has saved him from
the gallows, but the brand of Cain i3 upon
him.
The facta developed on this trial show that
Surratt was a conspirator and a traitor, but
whether a Washington jury could be found to
convict him is a question. It is doubtful whe
ther such a jury would have convicted even
Booth himself
Conover's Bid fob a Pabdon. The despe
rate Btraits to which the President is reduoed
are revealed when he summons a convicted
and self-acknowledged 'perjurer to his aid.
Sanford Conover, alias Dunham, concocts a
story which on its very face bears evidenoe
of fraud, and the President, through a supple
tool, sends it forth to the world. Nobody will
wonder that Conover, a convloted perjurer,
should have invented the story, because he
hoped, and not unreasonably, thereby to ob
tain a pardon; but that the President should
have thought that such a fanfaronade of fraud
and folly would have any influence npon the
publio mind, only shows to what a fearful
extremity he has been reduced. But Mr.
Johnson should now play fair, and give
Conover the pardon which he has so richly
earned.
"Fierce Spectacles." The latest oharge
against the distinguished Secretary of War is
that he wears 'fierce spectacles." Says our
Democratic contemporary this morning: "No
tear moistened the dark eyelids of the Advocate-General,
or dimmed the fierce spectacles of
the Secretary of War. ' ' We submit that this is
too bad. A man who wears "fierce spectacles"
ought not to be allowed to hold a seat in the
Cabinet. This fierceness is undoubtedly owing
to the peculiar character of the glasses used in
the construction of the spectacles. Mr. Stanton
should try some other maker.
Thb "Harris" Letteb. The conservative
letter published in the papers on Saturday,
and ascribed to ex-Senator Harris, of New
York, proves to have been the production of
somebody else. It bore internal evidenoe of not
coming from Senator Harris, unless that gen
tleman has lately become demented. Who Mr.
"Ira . Harris" is, nobody knows or cares.
A New Mineral. There has recently been
discovered In Borueo a new mineral, mixed with
the platinum found In that region. It forms !
small grains or globulus of a dark black-grey
color, and of considerable lustre. Many or
these grains exhibit brilliant crystalline facet,
which are the faces of a regular octohedron.
The mineral is very hard and brittle. It does
not fuse belore the blow-pipe, but diffuses a
strong odor of sulphurous acid. It Is t0 be call
Sulphate of Ruthenium.
Aw Aookirvrd Nobleman. The Marquis of
Westmealh bolus the eume position In tbe Eur
lich House of Lords that has earned Mr. Whally
so funny a notoriety in the House ot Common.
Ho is ibespLf-appointed champion of Protestant
ism, and finds In every othr motion and bill a
Jesuitical plot. This noble lord has a friend, a
"leading Orangeman," who haunts the stran
gers' gallory of the House of Lords, which Is
Immediately above the trailer In which the re.
porters sit. On tbe occasion of the second
reading of tbe bill for (be repeal of the Declara
tion agauM Traimtbstantlallon, Lord West
mcRta had given notice of a question, and was
about to apeak, when his OraDRe friend, whose
name Is Harper, being in the eallery, overheaid
one icporter say to another; "I see that o'rl
Idiot, the Marquis of Wesimetth, has a long no
tice on the books for this evening, but I'll take
care not to give a word of what he says." Sab
tifquently the came individual observed in a
loud voice, evidently Intended for the occupants
ot the reporters' gallery : What a pity it is
that there is no odc to send this confounded old
idiot to a lunatic asjlum !" Harper reported
there remarks to Lord Weatmoaih, and that in
dignant peer askod the Ilou-e at its next session
If they did not constitute a breach of prtvilee f
There was a roar of laughter, and some con
siderate friend persuaded the Marquis not to
prets his point. As the Incident has got into
the papers, Its hero may as well retire at onco
to his ancestral acre. He will have no comfort
of his life iu LonJon.
"Thb One Cent Wab." Tbe "one cent war''
in St. Louis has ended, and In favor of right and
the people. The street railroad compaule
have yielded, and, for tbe present at least, have
abandoned the at'eropt to extort the six cent
rate ot fare. The result was due to the almost
unanimous opposition of the St. Louis people,
who noc only grumbled and protested, as we did
here, but made practical and physical resistance
to the imposition. Knowing their righu, they
defended them. On tbe last day when the six
cent fare was demanded there was a series of
lively squabbles "along the whole line." Fre
quent collisions occurred between the pas
sengers and the conductors, but the police
adopted this sensible and just rule that when
tbe passengers simply acted on the defensive,
the conductors should be arrested. Finding
that the battle was going aguinst them under
this regulation, tbo railroad directors ordered
that the cars be stopped whenever any collisions
between the paeDgera and conductors oc
curred, but this "dodge" was fruitless, for the
police would not allow the standing cars to
obstruct the streets. Beaten ut all points, and
finding that the Police Court decided generally
In favor of the pa'-sengc, the railroad com
panies concluded to back wa'er and return to
tbe legal and just rale ot fare. They are not
through their troubles, however, for the Street
Commissioner has brought several suits against
them for obstructing tbe streets; and other suits
may he instituted for failure to run on regular
time. It is a comfort to Lnor that the "one
cent war" has been extremely unprofitable to
them.
Trouble Brewing. The new Canadian Con
federation does not start off under altogether
the happiest auspices. Tbe party leaders are
wrangling among themselves, aud the opposi
tion is dally acquiring stiengih. Lower Canada
is jealous of Upper Canada, and their respective
journals denounce each other in uumeasurel
terms. The Browns, McG-e, Howes, Camerons,
Macdonalds, and Cauchons are, to say the least,
having a decidedly lively time of it. Already
do some of our Canadian exchanges begin to
predict the failure of the Confederation. Our
neighbors will never find any true and lasting
union, except under tbe Stars and Stripes.
A skin o Questions. In Mrs. Craik's (Miss
Muloch's) new novel of "Leslie Tyrell" there
is a well-drawn picture of a gardener mowing,
who is much relieved when the arrival of a
stranger brings to a close his cross-examination
by a bevy of curious children:
"He touched his bat with an air of great
relief, for the cbildren were propounding to tbe
mower questions and remarks of an abstruse
and diflicult nature, respecting tbe work in
which be was engaged, and as he altogether
failed to understand the drift of almost any one
of tbe questions asked, ne was Inconsequence
driven to such Irrelevant replies as threw tbe
children's minds Into ablate of extreme cou-fm-lon."
Tub Philosophy of Novel Reading. The
Saturday Eeview thinks that in modern life the
book of romance fills tbe same place which was
held by the drama in the earlier stages of the
world's history. It says:
"Tbe literature of a country, Indeed, repre
sents tbe condition of tbe popular Imagination
far more than It represents tbe condition of
national manners. Tbe one distinguishing fea
ture i f the literature of tbe nlneteentb century i
uas ueen trie wouuerrui growtn or tue novel.
The novel may be almost said to constitute tbe
staple literary food of three-quarters of our con
temporaries. We are so dependent on the In
stitution that it seems difiioult to understand
how people got on before It was invented."
A Lake Monster. The dwellers on Lake
Michigan are sure there is a monster In that
lake. Whether whale, sea serpent, mermaid, or
beast, they do cot know, but they are sure such
a creature is there, and an expedition like that

Not Dramatic It Is said by the Boston
Journal that tbe only thing which has pre

Pouohkeepsib, August 11. A very severe
storm raged at different points along tne Hud
son yesterday afternoon. At thii placj the lain
leil in torrents and the wind blew a perfect
hurricane, cutting don trees, toaring away
awnings, and doing considerable damage. Be
tween here aud New Hamburg hail lell.n large
quantities, and below tbe lightning was terribly
vivid.
At ten o'clock lost evening the wind was from
the nortbea-st, being light. At half past twelve
tbe i-ky to the northward was comparatively
Clear, and the wind hail shitted to the north
west, a cooler atmosphere prevailing. Shortly
after one o'clock this morning an entirely clear
t-ky v. as visible, and a that hour a briltUnt
me'eor shot from the northern to the southern
horizon. It was followed by several othors,
neither of which, however, was as brilliaut In
appearance as tbe bist. Fioni one till two A.M.
over seventy meteors were counted, and from
tbat time till ball-past tbree. A. M.. they in
creased in numbers so fan that they oould not
be counted. Tbiee of them were of grout bril
liancy and presented a splendid appearance.
All tne while the air was quite cool and the sky
clear. By four o'clock A. M. the celestial ex
hibition had entirely ceased.

The heat iu the Ked Bea was, to my mind,

Nothing but a perlectly passive existence could
be endured, and tbe various poinu of interest

each had to endure.
Troubles never come alone, so my especial
antipathy cockroaches swarmed in tue cabins,

the lower berth on the head of au unfortunate
and maligned friend, who was sound asleep, I

and secreted itself in a crevtce in the ship's
