THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHIL A DELPHI A. FPJDAY, MAY 13, J 870. sriniT or Tnn mass. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals uponCurrent Topic Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. Mil. SrENCER'S OPENING IN THE McFAllLAND CASE. Prem the tti Y. Tribune. The theory of Mr. John Graham, that most amiable, refined, and scrupulous of advocates, respecting the opening of a defense to the iury in a criminal case, is simply that counsel iave a right to Ray whatever they may think proper, suggest whatever they please, declare that they are ready to prove that which they well know to be impossible of proof, and, generally, to fill the heads of j urors with all manner of irrelevant notions, without oh serving the least distinction between what is and what is not competent evidence. "I have no fault to find," Buid Mr. John Graham, "with Mr. Spencer's opening at all." "I don't find fault," retorted Judcre Davis, "with its statements of facts: all I find fault with is its almost unparalleled statements of falsehood." To this Mr. John Graham vouchsafed no reply at the moment. He reserved his response until the adjournment of the Court, when with much ribaldry and many oaths he assailed Jndge Davis, and made to nil the spectators a demonstration of his proficiency in the uso of profane language. No wonder the un fortunate prisoner at the bar, with his life depending upon the good conduct and ju dicious management of the case, cried out in well-grounded apprehension: ''Hush! Mr. Graham, hush! Don't you know that you owe something to me?" An unfortunate culprit indeed I One of his lawyers had Already, after doing him infinite damage, deserted him, while the other remained only to complicate and intensify the immorality of the defense. It may be true, as was observed by the Re corder, that counsel are to be allowed great liberties in opening a case, or (to use his own language) that "the widest scope, the utmost license, should be given where a man's life is involved." But surely his Honor never in tended to express the opinion that an advo cate is at liberty to 'Distort the truth, accu raulate the He, And pile the pyramid of calumny!" Surely his Honor will admit that if great freedom is allowed in an opening speech to the jury, he who makes it is responsible in some degree to the court of which he is an officer, to the publio of which he is a servant, and to justice of which he is a minister. Surely the Recorder will not affirm that even in the discharge of a delicate and difficult duty on attorney for the defense may pro perly disregard all distinctions between truth and falsehood, and dole out to the panel with a simulated sincerity theories which he knows to be bottomless, and notions which are simply the creations, dirty and distorted, of bis own malicious ingenuity. Is a lawyer to disregard all the suggestions of honor, and to run a muck against innocent persons who may cross the path which he has pleased or has been forced to take? Is it consistent with professional purity, judging by the ac cepted standard of the prof ession itself , to anticipate impossible proceedings on the part cf the prosecution, and upon the strength of fiuch surmises to toss to the jury all manner of ex parte insinuations and absurd conjec iures ? What ia to be thought of an advocate who does this, and who, upon being properly xebuked for it, can make no better apology than Mr. Spencer made ? an apology which pleased the public not at all, and the gentle man's associates j ust as little ? an apology which can satisfy neither the honorable, because it is immoril, nor the dis honorable, because their eyes see in it only the evidence of cowardice ? What is to be thought of that professional enthu siasm which leads a lawyer, for the sake of his client in jeopardy, to make a complete sacrifice of his own reputation, and to rling away in an hour that Btanding in court which it may have taken years to secure ? To be sure, Mr. Spencer might ask, with tears in his eyes, why he should be made the scape goat, and why Mr. John Graham should have piled upon the shoulders of his junior the responsibility of leading in the work of defa mation, and insult, and abuse, to be judi ciously employed in the future management of the defense ? Does Mr. Spencer remember a certain fable of a monkey who wanted his cbesnuts roasted, and of a cat who was com pelled to roast them ? If any reader thinks that we are speaking too harshly of Mr. Spencer's opening speech, we commend him to the seoond perusal of the speech itself an oration which piously began with an appeal "to that Divine Cieator who holds us all in the hollow of His hand" the same Divine Creator alluded to by Mr. John Graham in these energetic remarks of "G d d n you," which he subsequently addressed to Judge Davis, and of "G d d n it" which he flung in the face of the astonished Recorder. Are we right in supposing that Mr. Spencer's "Divine Creator" and Mr. Graham's "G d" are one and the same Being? Between these two lawyers the trial of the cause most certainly assumed a highly theological aspect. It is hardly to be supposed, however, that a God of truth would smile upon Mr. Spencer's farrago of falsehood direct and insinuated; and that He has not smiled, we may reasonably assume from the forlorn and morally ragged condition in which Mr. Spencer to-day tinda himself. He has discovered by this time that inoonsiderate appeals to Heaven may sometimes be followed by an uncomfortable and unwelcome re sponse; for the objects of Mr. Spencer's in discriminate and unchristian wrath can now look with pity upon their reckless and merci less traducer. The wife, first driven to seek a separation from one who had promised to cherish and protect her, and who then con signed her by hi murderous hand to a seoond widowhood, is held up, in her great sorrow, by this unscrupulous advocate, to the jury, as ''noting on the proceeds of Mr. Richardson'B life-insnrance" yet even she, this inornm", can afford to pity her slanderer. The excellent lady whose friendly heart would not permit her to measure the words of sympathy whits U she sent to solace an injured wife, is an nounced by Mr. Spencer as "a plotter, a con. epirator, a panderer, and a proourW pithets flung at her with criminal reckless ness, as they would have been flung at ny Bister who also called Mrs. Richardson her friend. Yet, if the gentlewoman thus ma ligned enn permit herself to ba solaced by the discomfiture and disgrace of hertradaoer her satisfaction to-day may well be unstinted! The clergyman sneeriugly spoken of as "a man named Frothinguaiu" would he no.v change places with a man named Speacitr? Nay, the Fourierites, tlie Agrarianites, tbi Mormons, the Spiritualists, the Free-Lovers, above whom, in the consciousness of his ovo. purity and that of Mr. John Graham, Mr. Spencer domineered at the oommnodiueut of this trial is there one of thorn uo so i ..r tLtt, even ia the cstimatiun of tho world, it becomes him or hor to do reverence to tin lawyer flying from the cause which a culprit in peril of life committed to his hands? TUEACIIERS AND REPORTERS. Frn the ti. Y. Tim. Edward VI enoonraged the Englieh farmers to harvest upon Sunday, and in his proclama tion to that effect he called it "a great offense to God to be scrupulous and superstitious in foregoing such occupations." This pious king was not above taking a practical view of religion, and, like Timothy, he was not averse to counselling a little wine for the stomach's sake to either laymen or clergy. Hence, when Rev. Charles B Smyth was htely ar raigned by the Fiesbjlery of tho church whereof he is pastor, for drinking a stimulant of his own invention on Sunday, he was not without biblical and royal precedents to urge in his defense The rather vulgar character of his liquor, and tho incongruity of its mix ture for gin aud milk was the aaotar chosen by the reverrnd gentlem in on the occasion in question has perhaps excite i an unreasonable prejudice ag'iiust him. Yet, after all, there is no more harm in taking such a beverage than in taking champagne, and whoever would insist upon an anstocrtio discrimination is neither rational nor chari table. But, waiving discussion of this point, and without presuming to sit in julgoirvit on the importance or heinousness of his oif mso, we submit that Mr. Smyth's case raises one point of a general character whic'a may well be subjected to discussion. The reve rend gentleman was betrajed into his orror if it was an error by his desire to ba hos pitable to certain reporters who desi jaod to publish apart of his sermon. No, is the custom of reporting sermons in itself a judicious or profitable one? Wo conceive that it is not, or at least that thero aro mauy strong arguments against the abuse of it. In the first place, not one preacher iu ten is likely to make the sermon which he ex pects to be reported precisely what it, would be if he had no such expectation It' ttie diff erence were always for the better, o'jdo tion on this score would fall to the ground. But it is almost Biire to be for the worse. To address fifty thousand persons through f ii j press, instead of a few hundreds by word of mouth might, with some mou, have an exalt ing and purifying influence; but with the majority it is to be i'eured that the tempta tion to catch the ear of the crowd to m ilea u "sensation," to attract the ready applause which is the business of the player rather than of the preucher, would h.ive ua in juri oub influence. Again, may not th iuclifju tion to flatter nn influential or widoly-eireu-lated journal, with a view to grin it favor, sometimes be too strong oven for a cleri.nl breast? To put tho matter more closoly, does not Rev. Charles B. Smyth know of vivid illustrations of yielding to precisely himIi an inclination which have presented thmus-dlvos in this city within a few months? We should certainly have no difficulty in pointing t hem out. The system of reporting sarin ras in discriminately is open to this and otUT objections. It is not well, for iustaucH, to off er a community, too many of whom are already prone to avoid church-going, a plausible excuse for avoiding that which, if a duty, ought to bo performed. People ouly too easily fall into the habit of saying they cat read a sermon in the newspaper as a plea for not going to listen to it; aud yet it require no argument to show that all the object of gathering together for publio worship on Sunday are not fulfilled by merely readin j the words of a pastor's discourse, however moviDg or eloquent it may be. It may be said that clergymen as a body are not likely to be actuated by influences such as those we describe, and we should be very glad to believe they are not. Never theless, it is wise to shun not only evil itself, but all the roads which lead to it. It is within our knowledge that preachers have souiatirnes not only been most anxious to see their ser mons in print, but have sought to piy mjaoy to insure their arriving at that distinction a strong corroboration cf the degrading tendency to which we have referred. Taere has been of late enough, and mora than enough, of "sensation preaching," in the bad sense of the phrase, if not too much in the good. Rev. Mr. Smyth's late experience, if deserving of censnre, must be thought so not so much because of his act, as because of his example. We hope it will be a warning to him and to others not to seek a kind of pub licity that is clearly ontside the functions of the sacred office. That office is best reve renced, and is most efficacious for good, when exercised, like humbler duty, in its own legi timate sphere. FREE ALMS AT LONG BRANCH TIIE LATEST GIFT TO GRANT. ! trim the X. Y. World. A new fact is just revealed. A few weeks ago it was formally announced that General Grant had gone into the real-estate business in a regular and legitimate way. In other words, that out of the yield of his invest ments, or the accumulations of his military pay or the savings of his salary, he had made certain purchases in New Jersey and Mary landLong Branch and Bladensburg being the designated spots. The Newark Daily Advertuer went off in a paroxysm of State exhilaration, and boasted that the President had become a Jerseyman by virtue of his having, as he had a perfect right to do, bought a cottage at Long Branoh. It was clearly stated as a purchase, and the measurements of the lot and the equipments of the house were given in the true George Bobbins style. It now turns out that the Long Branoh mat. ter is another gift enterprise after all, aud it comes to light in this way. That eminent judicial exile, Mr. Bradley, formerly of New Jersey, on his southwestern trip, has aaj occasion to vindicate himself from some aspersion in connection with this Lsug Branch investment, for we read in the Radi cal papers ot a day or two ago that lion. J. P. Bradley, who passed through Louis ville last week on hit way to fJew Orleans, wrote a lioto to tho editor of Hie Courier-Journal of the former city, dou vino; In the most positive manner thnt he had anyrhlug to do with President Urauts villa at Long Brauch." What could he have had to do with General Grant's purchase except possibly to examine the title, beinp doubtless familiar with the tenures of Monmouth county, and which he need not have disclaimed ? But it is the gift, not the purchase part of the operation, wnich Judge Bradley naturally enough thought in culpatcd him; and now the radical New Jer sey papers are compelled to confess that Grant has taken another gift, and only comes among them because somebody has given him a houbo and lot. The Newark Daily Ad oer titer says obscurely: 'Mr. Fradley was In Europa at the tlrao tho housa at Long Brunch was yitw to tloueial GrLt. If it wer uticcitary to look for any mterlor motive for II. pjefr-iiUUou, it -nulil doubtlcai he fouud to be of the naturo of a real-est.it j mov-finem." We bavo no means of knowing when Judge Bradley was in Europe, or we could approxi mate the date of the Jersey gift, and uoer Uin whether it was before or after SecruUry Robeson's unexpected elevation. BuUerfic.il jsined a &irt fund in New York, and got an iflite. Borie wus a Philadelphia hoaso-givor, and, though we believe he never expected it, got one too. And why not Robeson ? But we meekly wonder wuat is meant by the suggestion that the mlterior motive for giving General Grant a cottage at Long Branch is in "the nature of a real-estate movement." To say that a "movement'' may be a "motive" is certainly not philologically accurate, but still it is intelli gible. A gold "movemont" last September was a "motive" with Corbin, Fisk, and com pany, the ulterior object being to make Mr. Grant a party to it, in which they noarly suo ceeded. Now, as it would seem from this authoritative statement, the real-estate opera tors on the shore of the oceau have actually caught the President in the Long Branch entanglement, and Barnegat, and Tom's River, and Sqnam, and Great aud Little Ejg Harbor have no chance of appreciating. Seriously speaking, this rovelationis a very sad one. In Mr. James A. Hamilton's curious reminiscences will be found a letter from Mr. Van Buren, then Secretary of State to General Jackson, to Mr Hamilton, asking him to pro cure certain articles for the President in New York. lie adds an emphatio admoni tion to let him know the cost; for, Bay he, "the General hns a principle on this matter, lie will not receive presents." All this scrupu lousness we have got bravely over. Our Gererul takes whatever he cau got; possibly on the veterinary principle, with which his tastes end habits make him familiar, of "never looking a pift horse in the mouth." The tenure by which be holds all this real estate the house here and the villa there, for be has evidently "many mansions" is one of ancient date, revived and modified. It is certainly not tenure of "chivalry" or "knight service." It is uot 'socage" eithor "free," when the services to be rendered were not only certain but honorable, or "vil lein," when the services, though base, were certain but it is a sort of political ' frankal moign," or free alms, by which he who re ceives the gift is bound to do something not well defined for his benefactors in aucient times to say prayers or offer masses; nowa drtj 3 to jive cabinet or other offices, and to do his sLare in increasing the marketable value of adjoining fiefs. THE WOMEN IN COUNCIL. "rom tht A. J UrrauL There are two exciting f amale conventions now in sossion in this city, one at Apollo Hall, under the stately lead of Mrs. Cady Stanton, who is undoubtedly the noblest woman of them all, and tho other at Stoinway Hall, under the vivacious leadership of Grace Greenwood, who ranks second only to Mr. Stanton in her especial sphere, if in the pre sent conglomerate condition of the womau question she has any especial pphere. Tho feminine agitators have been so long in rebel lion against the ancient doctrine of woman's sphere being the household that it is almost rank heresy now to insinuate that they have any sphere at all, especially as on aspiring above the household they do not 8 e n to have secured a very firm foothold outside of it. The present conventions, however, give some encouraging indications for the final success of the oppressed sisterhood. Oae is the fact that thero is a formidable split among them. No great reform has ever suc ceeded without division and dissensions among the reformers. When a cause id weak the advocates of it stick close together. It is not until it becomes strong that they can afford to divide on the miuor questions. The fact that the workingwomen's grievances take up a great part of the time of the two con ventions is another indication that speaks well for the possible success of the move ment. Abstract ideas never take hold firmly on the people. The questions of wages and of hours of labor are always in order, while the ballot and the right to hold office are apt to be very dull subjects to the masse. A working girl who sees a chance to have her wages increased or hor hours of labor reduced by this movement is very i likely to approve of . the principle, even if she is compelled to swallow Buffrage and the ballot along with the increased pay. These cheering indications, and the enliven ing news from England, ought to give our revolutionary damsels confidence enough to carry on the movement in future without any aid whatever, even such as it Is, from the men. They ought to request the immediate withdrawal of Parker Pillsbrzry, Theodore Tilton, and Henry Ward Beecher from the association. They are mere bones of conten tion at the best. All they do is to wrangle with tho able female orators on the platform and oppose most of the measures introduced. It is tune for the suffrage women to assert practically their independence of the men and 10 stand alone on their rights. , w. THE OSAGE SWINDLE IN THE SENATE. Prom the A Y. Sun. The thanks of the country are due to Mr. Morrill, cf Maine, for exposing, in a recent debate in the Senate, a gigantic land job in Kansas, for which Senator Ross and Pome roy stood sponsors, and by which the Osage Indians were to be bled for the benefit of six railroad companies, only one of which had any existence except on paper. By the solemn treaty of the Government, entered into long ago, the Great and Little Osage Indians were assigned to a reservation of lands, located iu and contiguous to what was subsequently erected into the State of Kansas, amounting to 8,000,000 acres. Re cently, Bnd in violation of law, several thou sands of adventurers have squatted upon those lands, and have fomented quarrels with the owners by taking possession of their farms, their cabins, their cattle, and their crops. Under the pressure of the circum stances the Indians were, a year or two ago, induced to enter into a sort of treaty or agree ment by which they were to yield np the lands, with all the improvements thereon, for $1,(500,000, or at the rate of 20 cents per acre. But this treaty or arrangement, on being presented in Washington, was not rati, fied or approved, probably because the Indian Burf au regarded it as a swindle. Just at this juncture these six railroad corporations, five of which, according to the admission of Sena tor Pomeroy, are only "proposed roads" that is to say, mere paper roads turned up in Washington, aud procured a bill to be re ported from the oonveniont Indian Commit tee of the Seuate, of whioh Mr. Harlan is chairman, transferring to them these 8,000, 000 acres of valuable land for the sum of $ 1,000, 000. At the very lowest estimate these lands must bo worth $1 per acre. Hence, if this bill could be passed, these six railroads would make the snug little sum of $(0,400,000, or a million each, with a margin of 100,000 to f pare. The chicanery of this measure was thoroughly exposed in the very able speech of Mr. Morrill, of Maine, of whom it is not too much to say that Le i one of the fore most statesmeu of the country. Of course, notody will believe that any body outside of these railroads was to make any money out of this gigantio job, and oer tuinly no Senator ! We confess, however, it vonld throw some valuable iaht on tha anb. jeet if the publio r-ouli know the name of 1 the persons who own the stook or franchise! of the one road which seems to have a riokety existence, snd the five "proposed roals' which have no existence at all. We trust the Senate will kill this Will very dead. , SPECIAL. NOTIOE8. jf PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COM FANT, TREASURER'S DEPARTMENT. rHit,Al)ltt.t'HiA, P., May 8, 1870. NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS.
