MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 27, 1880.
Judges and Politicians.
TheXew Yerk Sun devotes iv geed
many of its columns te a sketch of the
life of Stephen J. Field, of the United
States supreme court. The biography is
interesting and that is sufficient reason
for its publication. Our newspapers
might advantageously publish such mat
ter as this mere often than they de,
and because of its inherent interest.
Usually we have nothing of men sines
until they die or become candidates for
office. "We get a liberal supply of this
kind of literature en these occasions it is
true; but it hardly satisfies the want,
which is for information of the lives of
moil of note among us, which is net
affected by the taint of partisan pre
judice or favor,nerhy the rule which for
bids anything but words of laudation of
the dead.
If we were civen the honest facts,
agreeably and simply written, in the
lives of men whom we knew, we veuld
all read them with interest. And the
men need net be politicians ; it would he
preferable if they were anything else.
The Sim might have given us just as in
teresting a narrative probably of the
lives of Judge Field's distinguished
brothers ; though they have net been
named for the presidency. The Field
family is remarkable for the number of
men of distinction in it. David Dudley
Field is eminent as a lawyer, while Cyrus
W. Field is known all ever the world by
reason of his connection with the infancy
of Atlantic cable enterprises. There is
still another brother, of literary fame
The judge seems te be the representative
entered by the family for presidential
honors for some reason net clearly obvi
ous. Perhaps because he is en
. the supreme bench ; but that ought
te be a very ssrieus impediment in
the way of his candidacy. Politics ought
te be kept out of our courts and it may
be strongly argued that a judge should
net be made a candidate for political
office. The idea in looking te the bench
for candidates has probably been that in
the safe retirement of their places they
have made no enemies while they have
still kept in the public eye. Hut if it
comes te be understood that the judicial
office is a step te higher political prefer
mutii fim result, will inevitably be te
...u..., ... -
transform politicians into judges for a
temporary purpose, te the great demor demer demor
alizatien of the bench.
There ought te be no need te resort te
the bench te secure candidates, even for
the presidency, of sufficient ability and
popularity. If we go out of the ranks of
our statesmen, we might better leek up
a candidate from among men of science
or business, than from among the judges.
Wi :irp strensrlv inclined te the belief
that we might de a very geed thing
in nominating an eminent man of busi
ness for president. It is an office that
requires mere than anything else strong
sense in its occupant, and we are quite as
likely te find that in the merchant as in
tlie lawyer.
Ox Monday Judge Livingston said te
the grand jury :
And before proceeding te the prison it
will be well for you te examine the late re
port of the county auditors.
On Saturday the grand jury said te
.TiidfrR Livintrten :
Our attention having been called te the
report of the county auditors, wc sent for
persons and papers, and from evidence Do De De
eorous would say that we have no confi
dence in the correctness of their lepert
and recommend an investigation.
Having invited this examination and
having received an answer which ae
mnnds cognizance of the imposition
practiced upon the people of the county
and the disgrace attaching te the ad
ministration of their public affairs,
Judge Livingston will naturally be ex.
pected te set en feet the demanded in
vestigation. He will of course net re
r.,n ..vn inriimnl action nor excuse
iUW LU LIHIV jmvv..-
his failure te de se, as he did in a iaie
case of an abuse of his confidence by the
officers of his court,by saying that he will
de nothing until " somebody brings an
action against them," and only then he
"will try them as seen as anybody else.
Aleck Coffketii has a heap of geed
Democratic sense ; and when he declares
it te be the purpose of the Democratic
state convention te send "an indepen
dent uninstructed delegation of our best
men te Cincinnati te select for us a can
didate who can be elected," he sounds a
" key note" as it were.
Justice Strikes at Last.
The Dauphin county court expresses
its judgment of the heinousness of the
crime of Kemble and his associates by the
severity of the sentence which it imposes.
It is a just sentence, we are inclined te
think. The crime is a great one, and was
se considered by the constitutional con
vention which made special prevision for
its suppression. These condemned pris
oners, notwithstanding, chose te defy the
general sentiment which was thus em
bodied in the law: and their friends
think that they arc very unfortunate be
cause they are the first rats caught in the
trap set for the protection of the public.
They were simply obtuse and foolhardy,
and ever-confident in the power they held
te avert the sword of justice. Mr. Kem
ble knew very well that he was violating
the law when he took his contract te
bribe the Legislature te pass the riot
damages bill. "What he did net realize
was that the law "was stronger than he
and the powerful men behind him who
have heretofore been all-powerful in the
state. He could net conceive that jus
tice in Pennsylvania could net be con
trolled te their pleasure. He has hardly
realized it yet. It was inconceivable te
him that he should by any pessi
bility be sent te jail. He thought
te defy the court and te avoid
his sentence. Convinced at last of the
impracticability of this, unless he would
flee the country, he has submitted te
his sentence, under the assurance
that the beard of pardons will come
te his relief. Possibly it will ; but in
the face of the imprisonment meted
out te him, that beard will have
te fortify itself with strong reasons why
any considerable part of it .sheuldbe re
mitted. The offenders, being undoubt
edly guilty and being' the victims of
nothing but their greed and their excess
sive contempt for the law, are entitled te
no clemency.
Judges Patterson and Livingston
new have a fine opportunity te practice
their patent law again, if they believe in
it and are disposed te enforce it freely
and fearlessly. The JVeie Era tells them
that justice has been prostituted in their
court " in the political interests of the
best workers of the ward," and it fur
ther tells them that while the district
attorney and his immediate personal sur
reundings are primarily responsible for
this, the rcsjwnsibility was te some extent
shared by the court "when it consented te
and encouraged the settlement of the JVeic
Era libel suits and thus, unconsciously
we hope, gave encouragement for the
repetition of similar and equally culpable
proceedings in the interest of some of the
best workers in the rural districts, net
the least alarming feature of which has
been their contempt of the authority of
the court inside and outside of the tem
ple of justice."
Here are three distinct' charges affect
ing the integrity of the administration of
justice in the Lancaster county courts.
The publisher of the New Era is a
member of the Lancaster bar.
New let our judges " vindicate " them
selves by summoning him te make geed
the charges of his newspaper or be dis
barred!

General Walker has assigned te
Clakexce King the work of collecting"
statistics concerning precious metals in this
country, for incorporation in the next
census. Mr. King is organizing a corps of
assistants and twelve experts, and intends
,ni-u n tlinrmnrli and exhaustive com-
pilatien. One velume of the census rc rc
peit will be devoted te the information
obtained, which will net only be statisti

ThcPrince of Walks went te take a
Turkish bath in Paris a day or two age,
and while reclining en a slab after indulg
ing in the luxury of the bath he per
ceived standing beside him a very dark
man, whom he took for a negre attendant.
Ti.n .invir man was in the usual undress
uniform peculiar te the Turkish bath. The
prince tapped him en the shoulder and
commanded him in a curt manner te rub
him down. Te his astonishment the dark
man drew himself up te his full height
with a lefty and tragic air, draped him
self in a towel, as if it were a minature
toga, and, with a parting leek of scorn
and defiance, he stalked away. The
prince had mistaken Den Carles for a
darky servant, and all the Castilian bleed
of the heir of the Spanish crown rose up
against the heir of the English throne.

Particulars of a Celd Blooded Murder.
The sheeting of Charles DeYeung, of
the San Francisce Chronicle, was a cold celd cold
beooded affair. Just before 8 o'clock Fri
day evening, Mr. DeYeung entered the
business office of the Chronicle, en the
ground fleer, corner of Kearney and Bush
streets, ana moeu reiKiug im " s
tlemen leaning against the counter. Di
rectly the deer opened, I. M. Kal loch, son
of the sand-let mayor of San Francisce,
entered, and, drawing a pistol, without, as
far as can De learned, speaiviiijt . uiu,
bean firing at DeYeung. The latter ran
through the gate of the counter te the
desk inside, Kalloch firing at him
as he ran. On reaching me aes.
DeYeung turned te fa:e his oppo
nent with a pistol in his hand, when
Kalloch, leaning ever the counter, fired
aain, the ball striking DeYeung m the
mouth. Kalloch then started for the deer.
DeYeung raised his pistol as if te fire, but
apparently his strength failed him, for the
pistol was net discharged, and sinking
backwards he fell en the fleer. The by
standers ran te his assistence, but the ball
had evidently pierced tbe ease ei uie uraiu
and in a few moments he was dead. As
KVillnfih ran out of the deer he was seized
by a citizen and at the same moment an
officer came up and took him in charge
and conducted him te the city prison and
he was locked up.
Yeung Kalloch is a drunkard and had
hoen nrT a debauch for some days past,
drinking very heavily. He had made fre
quent threats of his intention te "fix
DeYeung, but no attention was paid te
him, as it was simply regarded as the vapor vaper
ing of a drunken man. His boasting was
regarded with mere indifference from the
fenf timt sinnn t.lip. shoetinr of his father
last August he has boasted from time te
time that DeYeung would feel his ven
geance. DeYeung, who beard of this,
did net pay the slightest attention
te the reports, and as he always
went well armed, possessed un
doubted courage and was unusually quick
in his movements, his friends were net at
all alarmed for his safety. One of the im
mnflisitn causes of the traucdy is by some
believed te be the recent appearance of a
pamphlet entitled "Only Full Repert of
the Trial of I. S. Kalloch en the Charge of
Adultery." This pamphlet contained a
portrait of Kalloch and the woman with
whom he was said te be intimate, and pre
tended te give a full history of the affair,

On Saturday morning a horse belonging

which was hitched te a buggy containing

and completely wrecked the vehicle. When
the animal started te run one of the men
jumped out, and the ether was slightly in
jured, being thrown headlong te the ground

suit." Its imprint was " Jiosten, luiernen

regarded, with hew much truth
it is new impossible te say,
that its reappearance was due te De De
Yeung, who went East some time age te
hunt up facts in the career of Kalloch.
The pamphlet was extensively circulated
and the Kalloch party were wrought te
quite a state of desperation. It came te
add te their trials and perplexities. De De
Yeung has continued his vigorous criti
cisms of the sand let mayor and these
who are controlling the city, and as the
time for his trial for the sheeting of the
mayor drew near he grew mere aggressive
and Kalloch's friends become correspond
ingly exasperated. Thore is no doubt that
t.lin veimr man was earned en mere or less
by desperate characters, who have recently
had such a set-back in the arrest
of Kearney, and the talk of impeaching
the mayor, that they took advantage of
his boasting and pushed him en. De De
Yeung's aged mether, between whom and
her soil an unusually strong affection .ex
isted, is quite prostrated by the shock of
lm,. cnn' ninrflftr. and as she is about 80
years of age it may be expected that she
will seen fellow him te the grave. That
the end is net yet is generally believed. De-
Yeung's brothers are quite as courageous
as he was, and mere bleed will be spilt
before the end.
Yeung Kalloch en being arrested was
perfectly cool. He still carried the smok
ing pistol in his hand, which he surrender
ed te the officer en his way te the station

fused te have any intercourse whatever

A nnrnfnl Investigation bv reporters of
the Press reveals the fact that the most
glaring frauds arc being daily perpetrated
in the office and by the employees of the
clerk of the court of quarter sessions.
License bends, which arc nothing mere
thau the bail furnished by tavern keepers
as a guarantce that they will comply with
the law, have had the names of the sure
tics beldlv forced, and in such a wholesale
manner that it is safe te say that fully ninc
tenths of all license bends are bogus. Five
thousand liquor liccnt.es are annually issued
in Philadelphia. Twe thousand have al
ready been taken out for the year 1880,
and of these it may be safely inferred that
net one hundred have anything but forged
bends upon which te base their issuance.
Of these two thousand bends net even one
has received the approving signature of
the district attorney which the law
requires before a license shall be grant
ed. The gigantic swindle implicates
the chief deputy of the cleric et quarter
sessions, several subordinates, some hangerseon
of the office, and it would also appear
that some one In the office of the recorder
has been a party te the transactions. A

JUSTICE PROSTITUTED
In th Interest of Political Workers.
The Responsibility Shared by the Court.
New Era of Saturday.
The old story of the Snyder liquor case,
in which the machinery of our court was
used te prostitute justice in the political
interests of "the best workers of the
ward," will have te be told ever again in
the Raymond-Dennis dissuading and con
spiring te dissuade witnesses cases, which
District Attorney Eshlcman has adroitly
managed te have postponed for the third
time, te the great annoyance and less of
time of witnesses who have been
in attendance for three terms and
net a little te the scandal of our
mode of administering justice. The history
of these cases from their inception te the
farcical proceedings which took place yes
terday and this morning, resulting in mak
ing geed the defiant beasts of Raymond
and Dennis that they would net be tried at
this court, fully justifies the criticisms
which have been made en the workings of
our local machinery of justice, for which
District Attorney Eshleman and his imme
diate personal surroundings are primarily
responsible, but which te some extent was
shared by the court when it consented te
and encouraged the settlement of the New
Era libel suits, and thus, unconsciously we
hope, gave encouragement for the repeti
tion of similar and equally culpable pro
ceedings in the interest of some of "the
best workers " in the rural districts, net
the least alarming feature of which has
been their contempt of the authority of
the court, inside and outside of the temple
Of jUStlCe. r:
Will Judge Livingston Fellow Suit?
Philadelphia Times.
There is another very clear case for
Judge Livingston te issue a brace of rules
for contempt and misbehavior in office
against the member of the Lancaster bar,
who is the owner and publisher of the 2feie
Era. If Judge Livingston concurred in the
decision of Assistant Judge Patterson
disbarring Messrs. Stcinman and Hcn
sel. he must new disbar Mr. Warfel.
In the New Era of Saturday is distinctly
charged that in the Snyder case "the
machinery of our court was used te pros
titute justice in the political interests of
' the best workers in the ward,' " and it
makes a fresh accusation ajrainst the abuse
of the machinery of the court te delay, for
the third time, the trial of the Raymond
Dennis case, who arc arraigned for con
spiring te dissuade witnesses from attend
ing the court. The New Era says that the
third continuance of the case has added
"net a little te the scandal of our mode of
administering justice." It alleges that
Raymond and Dennis made geed
their defiant beasts "that they
would net be tried at this court,"
and it adds that the result "fully
justifies the criticisms which have been
made en the workings of our local ma
chinery of justice." It declares that " Dis
trict Attorney Eshleman and his immedi
ate personal surroundings are primarily
responsible " for this alleged delay or mis mis
cjuriage of the law, but it carries
the point home in plain terms te
Judge Livingston, by adding that the re
sponsibility "te some extent was shared
by the court when it consented
te, and encouraged, the settlement of the
New Era libel suits." This is the grav
est of the repeated reflections upon the
Lancaster court in the very general discus
sion of the subordination of justice te po
litical ends. Did the court advise the set
tlement of the New Era libel suits ? If se,
what judge did it? In what manner and te
what end did he de it ? Was it merely te
adjust litigation between mutual friends ?
Or was it te prevent the failings of the
court from exposure ? These inquiries are
of the most serious character, and both the
New Era and the court have need te
answer. If, as is new charged, the
" best workers" in politics of the rural
districts have, like "the best workers of
the ward," been able te display "their
contempt of the authority of the court,
inside and outside of the temple of jus
tice," it is high time that Lancaster judges
and their immediate officers in the prosecu
tion of justice be called te account ; and
if the grave accusations of the New Era
are unfounded, there is such manifest mis
conduct en the part of a member of the
bar as te wan-ant his dismisal. upon con
victien of the offence bv due process of
law.

We trust that Mr. William II. Kemble is
getting along pleasantly with his "pipe
line interests " at Atlantic City, where it
is well known all the pipe lines in the
United States concentrate. He will be
called at the Jlay term of the Dauphin
county court te receive sentence in the
case of the commonwealth agt. Kemble ;
but the circumstance will doubtless give
him very little trouble. He cannot expect
te neglect such important affairs as he has
in hand te attend te se trivial a matter of
public duty. He has only te wait until the
court adjourns, when the judge will courte
ously call at his hotel and admit him te
bail ; a process which we presume may be
kept up indefinitely. Meanwhile wc sug

Disturbance nt Rawlinsville A Muss en
North Oiieeu Street.
On Saturday aftcrnoeu there was a pub
lic sale at Hiram Silvcrthern's, in Rawlins
ville, Martic township, which attracted a
lar,re number of persons from the sur
rounding country. The sale was followed
in the evening by a concert in Odd Fel
lows hall, for the benefit of the Martic
ville band. During the pcrlermance a
dispute arese between Jacob Hart and
n.,-,r iiiiiiinsnn orewinsr out of an old
grudge it is said and the parties left the
hall te settle it outside. They were fol
lowed by a large part of the audience who
wanted te see the fun. The men buckled
te and after a hard fight, and a world of
outside interference, Hart proved the vic
tor, Robinson being a badly used-up man.
Grewing out of this fight were two or
three ethers, in one of which Abraham
Sheff thrashed Heward Sinft and Abra
ham Heir put a head en Solemon Sinft.
Several ethers retired wth black eyes and
bloody noses. Wc have heard of no pros
ecutions as yet, but as the row followed se
seen after settlement of another riot at the
same place, it is mere thau likely that half
a dozen law suits may grew out of it.
Rew en North Queen Street.
On Saturday night two rival gangs met
in North Queen street, in the vicinity of
the Schiller house, and having a geed store
of benzine en beard, seen get into a wran
gle, the upshot of which was, Henry
Scheurenbrandt was struck en the head
with a billy, knocked down, rendered un
conscious for some time, and had te be
carried te his home by his friends.
m
The Lecal Tobaeco Market.
There is net much te he said about trans
actions this week. Dealers are still pick-
in" up a few odd crops. L. T. Hensel, of
Quarryvillc, bought during the week ten
or a dozen small lets ranging in price from
8 and 3 up te 14 and 3. Mr. Oppenhcimcr
bought Emery Ewing's crop of about
1800 pound at 10 cents through. The
crop is well cleaned up, and it-is said that
nnr. fivn hundred cases of unpacked leaf
remains in the hands of growers.
Many of the packers in the county have
finished packing and all of them have nearly
finished. The general verdict Is after an
examination of their work, that while
thcre is seme white vein te be found, the
crop as a whole is very decidedly superior
te last year's crop. -
During the past week about 200 cases of
1878 have been sold, at a very slight profit
te the seller, and a country packing of 135
cases of 1879 was also disposed of. There
are reports of ether sales and seme of
them have probably taken place but they
are net verified.
The published report that L. T. Hensel
had sold his packing of 1878 is contradict
ed. He had made arrangements with a
St. Leuis firm te sell, but the contract was
net consummated.
The moist weather we have been favored
with during the past week has given new
life te the young plants and they are grew
ing finely, but in some localities, we are
told, the plants are being attacked by a
small bug or flea that conceals itself be
neath the leaf and almost destroys the
plant before its presence is discovered. A
solution of assafoetida sprinkled upon the
plants is said te rid them of the insect.
Milk Spilled.
Yesterday morning a young man named
Feagley was driving along North Queen
street in a milk wagon belonging te Philip
Bausman. When between Lemen and
James streets, the front wheels of the
wagon become loose from the bed and the
horse walked off, leaving the bed and back
part behind. The milk was all spilled and
the driver received the greater part of it all
ever him. The accident was caused by the
breaking of the perch.
Milten Nobles In "The Pheiiiix."
Milten Nobles always draws well in Lan
caster, and his popularity was quite clearly
evinced by the geed-sized audience that
assembled at Fulton opera house en Sat
urday evening, despite the inclement
weather, te witness the production of his
successful comedy-drama of "The Phu
nir ' The nnncr part of the heuse was
crowded by an eager and attentive audi
tory, quick te catch the "points" in which
the play abounds, while the smaller por
tion of the audience in the parquet and
circle were net lacking in sympathy if less
demonstrative in their mode of expression.
Mr. Nobles's acting is unique. There is
an originality and spontaneity about it
that give it the natural flavor, and while
the play is crudely constructed, and a sn sn
n.,l,i,vw1.newr liiirTilviiiiTirnli.ilile events
constitute the thread upon which the chief "1 leading ln.mL.n.evil
interest hangs, Mr. Nobles is governed tera Ihiladcpl.ia t.ir.
h .nmmendablc discretion in e'erstep- Baldwin, Jehn G. LmviHe
ping net the bounds of propriety nor of
fending the sense of the judicious auditor.
He is net by any means a great actor,
albeit his continued success bespeaks the
firm held he has secured en the popular
affection. Saturday night's rendition of
the play did net vary materially
from previous representations. A few
new "points, " an occasional timely
" met " and a little irrelevant " ruiaierc
have been introduced since the piece was
last given here, the latter affording an op
portunity of hearing the fine soprano voice
of Miss Baldwin, who took the part of the
heavy villain's sister, and who throws the
spectator into a "state of mind" in wonder
ing what en earth there is in the situation
that can possibly suggest the airs of the
bright little opera at such a time of dis
tress. The fire scene, tee, has been great
ly improved and is one of the most realistic
that has ever been seen en the stage here.
The support was quite geed, Mr. Curtis
making up very comically as Jfescs Solo
mons, the Jew, and repeatedly bringing
down the house by his funny expressions.

Dr. Greene's Case.
In publishing the list of true bills found
against defendants in the quarter sessions,
court we stated that the true bill found
against Dr. Greene was for "practicing
medicine without a diploma." This is net
the fact ; Dr. Greene's diploma is net at
tacked. We were led into the error
by a misprint in the published list
of cases set down for trial. Dr.
Greene feels much aggrieved at the persist
ence with which an unfounded prosecu
tion against him has been urged, the mere
se as his name has been coupled with
quacks and empirics, and his trial has
been postponed, thus preventing him. from
an opportunity of clearing his fair fame
from an unjust assault.
