Committee
Samuel J. Randall,
July 4, 1872. Chairman.
John Van L'uren and Chief Justio
Taney.
Nearly a quarter of a century oco,
the Legislature of Now York oiiuoled
a law imposing a cnpitnlion tax upon
immigrants arriving from Kuropo and
lunding at (uurantino. A question
was raised in respect to tho oottslilu
tionalily of this law, and the cao was
ultimately taken to tho Supremo Court
of tho United btulcs. Mr. Sownrd
made the argument on one side, and
John Van Duron on the other. Tho
trial ullracled considerable interest,
not so much from llie importance oi
the question involved aa from the rep
utation and political position of the
opposing counsel. Jllr. Soward was a
Senator in Congress, and llio ureal
Whig leader of tho Slates; while Van
B ore n was tho most brilliant ornlor
and most popular man on tho Itonio
cratio side. They wcro rivals at tho
bar, having then recently boon cn
tritircU in the trial of tho noro murder
er, 1'roetnan, at Auburn, during which
there had been much sharp altercation
between thorn. Tho Whiirs in Con
gress warmly 8ympul!ir.cd with Sew
aid, whilo the be in oc rats wcro enual
ly aelivo and zealous in encouraging
Van Ruren. Tho arguments were
ohibornto and ablo, tho resulting im
pression being that tho Sonalor was
moro of a statesman than a lawyer,
but that Van iiuren was on of the
most f n torlni n in -r. impressive and
clfectivo advocates that had over bcon
heard in the Court.
J udgo Taney presided ono of the
purest, most letirnod and able judges
that ever sat on the bench, lie was
shy, reserved in manner, ascotio in his
balms, a gloomy, forbidding looking
man, resembling a monk ot tho mid-
dlo ages ; but under this cold and ro
pulsivo cxtorior there beat a wurm
sympathetic heart, lie was a literal
man, with no iden of ajoko; was never
satiricul or Ironical, and detested a
pun or a quip ns much as Dr. Johnson.
Iho day llio argument was closed,
Vnn Burcn contrivod to fall in com
pany with the Chief Justicoin comin''
down tho nvcnuo from tho Capitol.
John baa a degreo ot coolness and selt-
possossion nntlerull circumstances thai
nothing over disturbed. With an airy,
jaunty mannor, that would havo been
ollensive in anybody olso, but which
bo made winning nnd attractive, ho
addressed tho need jurist :
"I was much flatlorod, Mr. Chief
Justice, nt the gracious attention with
winch vou listened to my poor effort
in bohnlf of tho Buffering immigrants
nt (Quarantine." Mr. Tuney mado n
fitting rcsponse.and Van Huron coolly
proceeded : "Pur bo it from me to say
anything respecting the decision of
the Court." Tho J udgo started with
a ges'.uro of deprecation, as if ho np
prehonded an indiscretion on tho part
of tho lawyer. "I am quito awaro of
the apparent indelicacy ol Buying any
thing that should looklikoan attempt
to inllsenco tho action of tho Court."
Hero tho Chief Justice gavo a dissatis
fied shrug of his shoulders, intended
us a rehuko of what ho regarded as an
impertinence Rut John was wholly
unmoved, and went on Willi his ro
marks, us though ho was saying tho
most natural imd appropriate thing
iniiiginul lo.- "Nor would 1 presume
to inlimulo that an curly decision of
the case is desirable." The J titl-fo
opened his cyos in amazement, but ro
mained uilent "ISul llio truth it.
your Honor," continued Jolm, "t!ie
poor devils at Quarantine aro perish
ing daily, and it is of tho utmost im
portance thatthoy should learn whalh
er they are dying consitutionully."
Appreciating John's waggery at
last, llio Chief Justico, much relieved,
gavo way to a hourly laugh, and the
ctmvors'ition eamo to an end.
John Van Huron hail In him the
making of a groat luwyor nnd a states
man ol commanding power. Ho lack
ed nothing but industry nnd Blcadi-
noss oi purpose, illicit oi perception,
with fino litcukios, uncommon logical
nowcii, and abundant imagination,
ho ncvor failed to command tho ad
miring attention of his auditory

Borrovring and Borrowers.
From the Xiw York Observer.
I havo met iiti something of a loss.
Not moneys I could, and norhuns
will, wrilo feelingly of that unothur
time. Just now 1 urn mourning the
loss of a text of scripture, and how it
happened is on this wise.
You remember ihut in tho second
book of Kings it is written thai the
studonts of a thoologieal seminary
thought their quarters were too small,
and proposed lo the President, whoso
name was Elisba, Ihut they should
build something on a larger scale,
lie gavo his consent, and they went to
work. As tbey woro culling down a
tree on tho bunks of iho Jordan, the
uxo of ono of the students fell into tho
water nnd sank ; tho loser cried out
and Bitid, "Alas! master I for it Was
borrowed." Now, on taking up u
new and learned commentary on this
Hook, by Dr. Kiel, 1 find that in his
notes upon this text bo says, "Tha
word hero- borrowed is bctjjt J ; tho
meaning to borrow is attributed from
a misinterpretation ; llio prophet's
pupil hud boggod tho. axo, because
from bis poverty ho was tinablo to
buy one ; and hence the loss was to
painful to him."
I hud always valued that text ns
ono left on lung record, us a testimo
nial t hut one man once lived who re
gretted tho Idas of a thing the moro
because it was borrowed, than if iti
hud been bis own. To bo sure, wni
havo not tho young muii's numo ; like
Lot's wife, be is an unonymous indi
vidual. Hut his virtuous exclamation
of sorrow, his plaintive wail as the
axe fell fiom bis hand and sank be
neath tho wuvo, was to go down lo
all limes ns tho filling reflection of
overy li-l.t man when lie loses uny
lhing that ho had borrowed Dr.
Jainiesun, who hns just mado a new
commentary on Kings, holds fast to
llio old idea of tho translator, though
ho gives a mean kind of reason for the
young man's grief. Ho writes :
"Tbo scholar's distress uroso from
the coiuideration that the axo, had
beon lent to him; and that owing to
his poverty he could not procure
another."
That is loo bad. In my innoconco
I supposed the young man was sorry
that lie had lost another man's prop
ci'ty ; and because of bis own poverty
could not rcplaco it. Hut Dr. Jainie
sun thinks the boy was grieved only
uccnuso ne could not get another axo.
Well, the Doctor bus llio idea of most
borrowers, we must admit. An habit
uul borrower has ns little conscience
as Dr. Jumieson attributes to this I
student of Dr. Elisha's -theological i
school. Ho keeps what ho borrowed.!
till ho rcuurds it us his own ; or. lus-i
ing it, regrets tho loss on his owu ac
count only, and not tho owner's. I

borrower. Tho invcternto .beggar is;,
not bo great a pest, becauso you can

feeling that if injured, ho is not tho

There is a beuuiy in good neighbor
hood. That help ono another spirit
which prompts to constant reciprocal
kindness, makes lilo in the country,
among neighbors, charming. But .
when it is, like tho hai.dlo ol a pitch

A Beautiful Paraiii.b. A rich
young mail of Rome hud been suffer
ing from a sovore illness, but ut length
he was cored, and recovered his health.
Then ho wont fjr tbo first time into
tho garden, and felt ns if bo woro new
ly born. Full of ioyfho praised God
aloud. Ho turned his face no toward
heaven, and said, ''O TlKm Almighty
Giver of all blessings, if al-uinnn being
could in smy way repay Thee, how
willingly would 1 givo; up ull my
wealth:" ,
Hcrmua, the shepherd, listened lo
those words, nnd" ho suid to the rich
young man, "All good gilts como from
above; thou c.inst not send anything
thither. Como, billow mo." ThfycMtU
followed llio pious old man, a'd. tlicy
camo to a dark bovtl, Where .there
was nothing but misery and lamonta
tion; for llio father lay sick, and tho
mother wept, w hilst . tho children
stood round naked and crying for
bread. Then tho J'oung man was
shocked at tho Cl-iio of distres".
But Hormas said, "Behold hero ten
alter for thy sacrifice ! Behold hero
llio brethren and representatives of
tho Lord!'1 The rich young mun
Ihen opened his hands, u'nd gave frco
ly nnd richly to them of his wealth,
uud tended tho sick man. Hermits
said, "Even thus turn thy' grateful
looks first toward heaven, and thou,
to earth.'.'

In Iho Dior;esun Convention of the

There is a good deal of truth in

they would beggar llio luity in about
