WINFIELD S. HANCOCK,
Maj. Gcn.Cemd'gDept. La. and Texas.
The Woellcy Case.
We are indebted te the courtesy of
Hen. J. Procter Knett and his interest
in the Steinman and Hensel disbarment
case for calling our attention te an at
tempted disbarment by the court of ap
peals of Kentucky, which court having
itself abandoned the notion the case was
net reported in the books. The attorney
upon whom the rule was taken was
R.W.Woelley, esq., of Louisville, who is
spoken of in the argument as having
"sprung from a race of eminent lawyers
whose names are among the most pre
cious memories which cluster around
this venerable court," who had shown
himself " worthy of the name he bears
and the bleed he inherits," and whose
name, though it might be stricken from
the roll of practising attorneys,could net
be erased from the register of these who
have rellected honor en the legal profes
sion. It was in July, 1874, that the
court of apieals the tribunal of last re
sort in that state took violent exception
te what they called " disrespectful and
insulting" language in Mr. Woolley's pe
tition for a rehearing of the appeal in a
case which he had argued and with the
disposition of which he was net satisfied,
and the court ruled him te answer why
his authority te practice law should net
be revoked' and why he should net be
otherwise punished for contempt. The
argument was made for him by W. C.
I: Ilreckenridgc, a distinguished lawyer
of Kentucky and one of its most eminent
representatives in the late Cincinnati
convention. After they had heard him
the members of the court discharged the
rule,which they seem te have rather has
tily entered.
In his admirable argument which at
tracted such attention and for copies of
which there has been such demand that
it was procured for us with great diffi
culty Mr. Breckenridge most ably dis
cusses the law of contempt and disbar
ment and conclusively proves, as he se
felicitieusly expresses it, that after " a
thorough research of all the precedents
from Westminster te California," with
two notorious exceptions, they fail te
show any approved and sustained disbar
ment of an attorney for contemptuous
words sicken or written. "Contempt
Iwars no relation te forfeiture and for fer
leiture is never supplemented or accom
panied by punishment for contempt. Pro
ceedings te punish fera contempt and pre
ceedings te revoke a lawyer's franchise f
are as dissimilar ;is a police warrant te
punish a bank president for an assault,
and a quo warrante te revoke the charter
of his bank." All the English courts
with one exception that exception being
an adjudication by Screggs, " in the
worst year of the reign of the most cer
rupt monarch that ever sat en the Eng
lish throne" have held te the doctrine
that disbarment must be for unfitness
and net by way of punishment.. A law
yer as a lawyer is never punished for con
tempt ; but like any ether person must
answer in contempt for. what he did ; his
franchises are revoked for what he is.
"A lawyer can be deprived of his pro
prietary rights only by losing some of the
qualifications, tlie existence of which was
necessary te enable him te obtain the
franchise."
The American exception te "the
universal recognition of these well
settled legal principles, te which
Mr. Brcckenridge's argument refers,
is the North Carolina . case whicli
was se extensively cited and relied upon
by the counsel for Judges Patterson and
Livingston in the recent argument of
the Steinman and Hensel case before the
supreme court. "There was a precedent
in Screggs, but it should be remembered
that it has net been the habit in England
since the revolution of IGSS either te read
or imitate Screggs" ; and probably no
American judge would care te be spared
reversal by relying en bcreggs's prece.
dent alone. The North Carolina court
disbarred one hundred and eight of the
first gentlemen of the North Carolina
bar, who seeing with professional sensi
bility the shame of a degenerate pest hel
ium bench had publicly protested against
the court's " throwing aside the ermine,
rushing into the mad contest of politics,
under the excitement of drums and
flags," and " studying the book of laws
under the banner of a party." In re
spending they affirmed, as Messrs. Stein
man and Hensel answered, that their
object had been net te impair the integ
rity of the court, but te preserve its pu
ritywhen the court itself had failed te
vindicate its own integrity. The court,
nevertheless, assumed the right te sus
pand for words written, " but its exer
cise, amid such bad temper, was avoided
because of the response."
With these two solitary exceptions the
precedents fail te sustain the disbarment
for contempt. The statute of 1836, as
Judge Patterson discovered after he had
entered his rules, forbids the punishment
even for contempt in Pennsylvania for
publications out of court. The case of
Steinman and Hensel therefore had te be
rested entirely en their disbarment for
such an " obliquity of moral sense " in
them as unfits them te practice law. Te
be sure the counsel for the court argued
it en different grounds, but en none that
was tenable and en none that had net
previously been abandoned by their cli
ents. As Mr. Breckenridge's argument
se forcibly shows, disbarment is net a
punishment for something done;
it cannot be se invoked. It
is removal for unfitness, profession
al or moral ; and Judge Patterson bases
his action and expects it te be sustained
solely en the ground that in ascribing te
political considerations the court's. fail
ure te call its derelict officers te account,
the editors of the Intelligencer dis
closed a moral unfitness te practice in
his court.
The Examiner keeps standing at the
head of its editorial column the follow
ing language attributed te Hen. Henry
B. Payne :
" I have never examined the specific
charge against Garfield, nor acquainted
myself with his defense against them.
Frem my knowledge of bis character, how
ever, I should be decidedly inclined te be
lieve that he was deceived rathek than
GUILTY THAT HIS IGNORANCE OF BUSINESS,
OF BUSINESS AFFAIRS AND METHODS WAS
TO BLAME FOR ANY ERROR."
And this the Examiner thinks is a vin
dication of Garfield's character from the
charges of bribery and corruption proved
against him by a Republican investigat
ing committee. And this ignoramus
who accepts $5,000 bribes in the interest
of De Golyer pavements, buys Credit
Mebilier stock without paying for it, and
accepts dividends en said stock without
knowing that he was doing anything
morally wrong, is the " statesman" te
whose hands the Examiner and its party
would commit the destiny of this repub
lic! The people of the United States
don't want and won't have a chief mag
istrate whose " ignorance of business,
of business, affairs and methods," may
be taken advantage of by the horde of
shariiers and plunderers who swann
aleut the national capitol.
The solicitude of the Republicans that
the presidential campaign shall be con
ducted without " mud-slinging" at the
respective candidates, recalls te mind the
fable of the Herse and the Ceck : The
Herse ate his eats from a well-filled
trough and the Ceck fed en the grains
that fell from it but was in constant dread
of being crushed beneath the Herse's
heavy hoof. Se the Ceck said te the
Herse, " neighbor, if you will net tread
en my corns, I will net tread; en yours."
The Herse, who had been much annoyed
by the vanity of the cock, merely an
swered, "Let the hardest hoof fend off,"
at the same time raising his feet as if te
brush away a fly, and bringing it down
witli a thump se near the head of the
cock, that the sill' creature was only tee
glad te get out of the stable with a whole
skin.
The elaborate article of Jehn W. For Fer
ney, which Ave republish, will be read
with great interest. There is room in
our church for all converts and repent
ant sinners. Cel. Ferney has been illu
minated after tlie manner of Paul and he
will make an excellent apostle, being a
vigorous worker and strong writer. He
knows a great deal about General Han
cock and tells a great deal that the peo
ple will be glad te hear. His testimony
is valuable, and as he has at last get
again en t5ie-right side his argument is
solid. Hancock's nomination has had a
wonderful effect in spiking the enemy's
guns and capturing their gunners.
Anether General turns in from Pitts,
burgh. We fear there will -be no Repub-
I lican party left. With the leaders threw
ing up the sponge and the lieutenants de
serting, the rank and file must surrender.
We wish the delight of childhood and
the disgust of manhood with the noise
of the Fourth of July could each be
weighed, se as te advise upon whicli side
was the preponderance, that we might
decide whether we ought te continue te
give tip the day te childish observance.
It is well that the country is net afflicted
like the towns and that this harbor of re
fuge is at hand. The Fourth of July in
cities would be unendurable if there was
no escape from it. It was a great mis
take that independence was net declared
in winter time. What a quantity of
money and of comfort could have been
saved te us.
PERSONAL.
The Princess of Wales sold bouquets
at a bazaar held at Baren Grant's late
house three weeks age, and realized a
large sum for the charity.
Marshall Jewell, ex-governor of Con
necticut, was yesterday elected chairman
of the Republican national committee, and
ex-Senater Dersey, of Arkansas, secre
tary. The Weman"1 Journal says, with ap.
parent satisfaction : " The cooks at Wel
leslcy college are men ; the professors are
women." Frem this the only deduction te
be drawn is that the Wellesley folks have
a higher regard for their stomachs than
for their heads. Progress.
Eyery one of the four prominent candi
dates new before the American people
Hancock, English, Garfield and Arthur
are ever six feet in height, in the prime of
robust manhood and weighs hard onto,
two hundred pounds. These politicians
who have been all along figuring te take
second place, relying en the vicissitudes of
disease and old age te promote them te
the presidency, have sadly lest their time.
The American people prefer avoirdupois in
politics.
STATE ITEMS.
Judge Aguew has been brought out in
the western part of the state as a Republi
can candidate for United States senator.
A man was caught en the fly passing
through Pittsburgh who declared that
neither Hancock nor Garfield can win.
The man who gives this opinion is Weaver,
Greenback candidate for president.
Official returns show the population of
Bradford te be 9,203. The population in
1870 was 400, which makes the increase in
ten years 8,803, or 2,200 per cent. This
probably is the largest percentage of in
crease te be found anywhere in the coun
try except at Leadville.
Gen. Francis A. Walker, the head of the
census bureau, telegraphs te Edward Steel
supervisor of Philadelphia, that that is the
first city returned complete, and congratu
lates him en his vigorous and intelligent
conduct of the very difficult work of which
he assumed charge under such trying cir
cumstances. H. F. Hughes, a member of the firm of
R. P. Wallace & Ce., Pittsburgh, while
romping with children in the office of the
Commercial hotel, Meadville, fell from the
Chestnut street balcony te the pavement,
fully twenty feet, striking en the cellar
guard rails. Beth arms were broken, his
side seriously bruised, and it is thought
internal injuries of a serious nature were
inflicted. Hughes has a family in Pitts
burgh. Jeseph Hites, a farmer of Wood
cock township, Crawford county, fell from
a cherry tree located en the side of a hill, a
distance of fully forty feet, and received:
dangerous injuries.
Editor!! Notes.
THE BLUE GRASS REGION.
AafcIB4 The Lextegtea Cemetery Me
'ttrathlM RMd the Pbemlx.
Henry Clay lived within a mile of Lex-
kingten, en one of the fine macadamized
reads that lead out of it en every side. The
Ashland estate belongs new te the state
agricultural college, which has tern down
the old house and put up one te suit its
purposes. Se I looked upon the beautiful
park all about it and went back te the
cemetery and saw the tall monument
erected te the great man. It is a shaft
one hundred and twenty feet Inch, sur
mounted by his statue and standing upon
a mausoleum at its base, between the bars
of whose gates I gazed upon the sarco
phagi of Clay and of his wife, and read
the inscription of his words declaring that
!he had been pure and unselfish in every
deed and thought of his life concerning
lus country ; and I believed it.
Other tombs of note are in this ceme
tery. Jehn C. Breckenridge, vice presi
dent at 35, dead at 54, lies here in a soli
tary grave, marked by a simple headstone
with marble scroll thrown ever it contain
ing his name and death date ; nothing
mere for one of the world's greatest men
great in his destiny, greater in the nebili.
ty of his character. I saw the unpretend
ing house in Lexington in which he died ;
and it was one of the most interesting
things I saw. His daughter, a maiden of
ever twenty years, lives with friends in the
vicinity ; he left two sons, one new a law
yer in St. Leuis, the ether a planter in
Arkansas. His distinguished uncle, Rob Reb
ert Jeffersen Breckenridge, lies in another
part of the cemetery and has a handsome
shaft of granite erected te his memory.
The old divine was loyal and prosperous
His first wife lies under a plain slab at his
side and at her feet stands a female figure
in marble, pointing an outstretched hand
at her grave, the tablet recording that it
was erected by her son te commemorate
his memory of his mother. He, tee, lies
buried nearby, killed in the army ; and as
the dates show that he was only three
months old when his mother died he was
evidently a babe of lively sensibilities and
a youth of stout recollection te have any
precious memories of his experience in his
mother's arms te commemorate in monu
mental marble.
The Breckenridgcs were a remarkable
family. The aged Rebert was au over
bearing old fellow, they say, and he was
tee much for his third wife te endure. She
would net take him en his brains, and
they did net live a lovely life. Ne doubt
that peer first wife deserved her son's re
membrance, and perchance he put up the
monument te her from his knowledge of
the virtue she must ha"c had te get along
with his respected sire. This cemetery is
extensive and beautiful and has a great
many handsome monuments. The burial
lets arc net separated from each ether by
hedge or fence of any kind.
About three miles out of the city lies
McGrafhiana, the stock farm of Mr. Grath
the noted turfman and owner of Tem
Bowline. Thither we drove through the
beautiful country I have been describing
and ever a smooth and hard macadamized
read, owned, like all these reads here, in
part by the county and in part by the plant
ers along the line who subscribe te the
stock. The county, I believe, takes some
thing like half the stock. Tell is charged,
but it docs net suffice generally te keep up
the read and pay a dividend. Probably
because the reads are long and are kept
up well. They de net have the nice little
reads we have running out of Lancaster,
a mile or se long, just enough
te catch the travel that comes out of the
city and tell it, and then turn it out in
the mud when the reads begin te fork.
Mr. McGrath has a large house of weed,
with spacious verandahs whose columns
reach te the reef, the whole painted a
bright yellow. As we drove up te the
portico, we were pleasantly received by a
gentleman who were a troubled air that
was accounted for when we learned that
he had just lest a child by scarlet fever,
and that he was suffering from four pistol
shot wounds received a few weeks before
in front of the Pheenix hotel, in Lexing
ton. A young man named May, who
was intoxicated, was plaguing an old
man, when our friend in a mild way ex
postulated with him. May conceived him
self insulted by the interference and went
after his pistols. Shortly afterwards, as
the object of his enmity passed out of the
hotel up the street, May stepped from be
hind a tree-box and shot him down ;
again shot him as he arose ; and again and
again until he had put four bullets into
him, one crashing through his hand, one
into his thigh, and the ethers we knew net
where. Twe policemen steed near by.
That man May is eat en $2,500 bail, and as
three of the prettiest talking lawyers of
the Lexington bar, including Cel. Breck
enridge, the "silver-tongued" orator of
the state, are engaged te defend him, pro
bably he will be kept out of jail. Certain
ly he ought te be hung. By the way is it
net odd that we don't hang fellows for in
tending te kill another but failing ; they
are just as guilty as if they had succeeded.
We were consigned te the care of the
chief groom of the stables who showed
us the yearlings that have just been taken
in from pasture te prepare them for their
training in the fall for the events next
year. They are taken in new because the
sun has get tee het for them te thrive in
pasture during the day. They are fed a
couple of quarts of eats and barley and at
night are turned out. Their training will
begin by putting a boy en their backs and
letting him walk them a certain distance
daily. Then the speed is gradually in
creased, and before winter sets in they are
run aquarter of a mile. We were shown
Tem Bowline, the pride of the
place. He is a grand looking horse, and,
like many geed looking people,has net the
best temper in the world. He is net cele-
( brated yet as a sire. Mr. McGrath does
net seem te be having much success with
his horses this season en the turf. He only
raises themfer his own racing use and
does net often sell an untried animal. His
groom thought that he used his own stock
tee much and was net sagacious in his
breeding selections. The man, who was
colored, seemed te be intelligent and prob
ably could have improved en his master's
methods. When we returned te the house
we were shown, in the parlor, several por
traits of noted turfites which I looked at
with moderate interest ; but a beautiful
female portrait enchanted me. It was the
niece of Mr. McGrath and -the wife of the
much shot gentleman who received " us.
Kentucky beauties will pass master if they
come up te this staple, bat w at bound
te say that we saw none in our travels
who approached it.
The Phoenix hotel at Lexington has just
been rebuilt, having been burned down
a year or two age. All its aoDeint-
9
ments are fine and it is very well
kept. It would be a pleasant place for
the traveler te halt in te see the beauti
ful blue grass region. It is safe enough,
tee, as long as you don't come across the
remarkable class of fellows who can't
keep their fingers off their triggers. This
seems te be a geed region for such feels.
The Phcenix pavement has seen quite a
number of affrays. Once a man shot
another here for looking cress at him, as
he conceived, at the dinner table. He
killed him and wasn't hung or even shut
up.
On our way back te Covington en the
train en Saturday evening we met Senater
Pendleton, of Ohie, one of the directors of
the Kentucky Central railroad, coming up
with a party of a dozen friends, among
whom we noticed Senater Butler, of Seuth
Carolina, in the directors car. They were
going te spend Sunday at the Blue Lick
springs, a place of some celebrity before
the war, situated en the railroad running
from Paris te Marysvillc en the Ohie. The
springs are again becoming fashionable,
great claims being made for the efficacy of
the water in the regulation of the physical
man. A. J. S.
MINOR TOPICS.
The principal -subjects of editorials in the
country papers at present are as fellows :
" Ne paper next week,'-' " does advertis
ing pay" and " the great circus te visit us."
General Garfield came out of Chi
cago as a dark horse. lie grows daily
darker and bids fair te disappear entirely
from the public eye before the race is run.
A " six-feet tripod " is the latest and
most startling discovery by Mr. Kcely, the
inventor of the " Keely meter." That is
what a reporter of the Philadelphia Recerd
calls it, anyhow.
An exchange says Gen. Garfield might
have stolen himself rich during his con
gressional career and it is te his credit that
he is comparatively a peer man." It is te
his Credit Mebilier that he is a shockingly
peer candidate.
Lxtracts from the official reports of
Poland's committee, touching Garfield's
false evidence about the Credit Mebilier
stock, are called "mud" by the Republ.
can editors. Who put mud into that cele
brated Republican report?
The Harrisburg Telegraph says : " Mr.
Clerk, please remove Connecticut from the
Democratic te the Republican column."
Well, that is just the way in which Louis
iana, Flerida and Seuth Carolina were re
moved four years age. " Mr. Clerk " did
the business, regardless of the will of the
voters.
Te-day, July 3d, is the 17th anniversary
of General Winfield Scott Hancock's mag
nificent achievement en Gettysburg's
bloody field, when Lee's invading hosts
were repulsed, and the great state of Penn
sylvania saved from the desolation that
would surely have followed but for Han
cock's colossal courage at a crises when the
Union army was threatened with utter
rout.
TnE elder graduates of Harvard have of
late years been using their iniluence with
the younger alumni te induce them te
adept the custom of setting forth for their
classmates and friends en commencement
day milder beverages than have ordinarily
been used. This resulted in an experiment
en last Wednesday's occasion. The ex
ample of the elder classes, who provide
nothing stronger than claret at their class
rooms, and who never allow the lemonade
bowl te be empty, was generally followed.
Says the Hartferd Times : " The Repub
lican journals can produce partisan
speeches by Mr. Garfield, and partisan and
selfish work upon committees. As yet
they have failed te produce a statesman
like paper from Mr. Garfield's pen at all
equalling the official papers of General
Hancock. Nothing from Garfield can be
compared with Hancock's order Ne. 40
and his letter te Governer Pease, se far as
clear constitutional ideas are concerned, or
noble sentiments en the side of a govern
ment by the people."
The typical modern American is de
scribed by a young lady graduate of a
western college as a compound of patriot
ism, smartness and common sense, flavor
ed with honesty and frosted ever with re
ligion. He is a man of business, able, with
a small capital and a few furnished vic
tims, te pay off the national debt with the
fruits of his prospective speculations ; fu
riously and demonstratively patriotic, a
great reformer ; a believer in all the latest
theories imported from Paris and Berlin ;
and a worker for the geed time coming
"when there shall be but one national en
sign, and that the Stars and Stripes."
We have frequently been inclined te

an audience always contemplates the con

A Washington correspondent tells an
amusing but net likely story anent his
own theory that members of Congress are
rather neglectful of their spiritual welfare.
The tale runs that one day a dispatch of
importance, and demanding an immediate
answer, was received for a certain distin
guished Representative. It was taken te
his hotel, the Heuse net being in session.
He was net there. He was sought for iu
every presumably possible place, and the
hunt was net confined solely te the respect

had. Presently his friends became anx

A decision has been promulgated by the
French authorities, which is of consider
able importance te Americans residing
abroad, or these whose relatives may hap
pen te die in Paris. It has just been de
cided by the French government that
none of the United States, officials have
the right, as heretofore, te affix their seals
te the property of citizens of the United
States who may chance te die in Paris.
Ner can the estates of deceased Americans
be settled thereafter according te the laws
of their own land. There exists, it appears,
no treaty en such points between France
and the United States, and the French
authorities claim that when any French
person dies in America, the French
officials are net permitted te take charge
of his affairs, which arc settled according
te American law. Therefore the seals of
a French juge de lapiax must be affixed te
the property of all Americans dying in
France, and the American officials must
have nothing at all te de with the matter.
Engish medical people are just new ex
ercised en the subject of requiring sales
women in large stores and shops te remain
en their feet during the hours of business,
and the custom is denounced by sanitary
authorities as physically injurious. Messrs.
Strawbridgc& Clothier, the Philadelphia
dry goods firm, enter the breach with a
letter te the newspapers of that city,
which is given special prominence in view
of the wide-spread interest that is taken
in the question. They say that the large
number of ladies in their employ are al
lowed te be seated at all times, when 'net
actually engaged se as te render it impos
sible, and state their opinion that "te
compel saleswomen and girls te remain
standing from morning until night as has
been repeatedly charged would be sheer
inhumanity, which, speaking for ourselves,
we have never even entertained. " The
Philadelphia Ledger says editorially : "The
writers of the letter, like some ether mer
chants of our city, are entitled te the credit
of behaving with humanity te their sales
women and girls, as these are allowed te
take seats at all times when net actually
engaged in their duties at the coeunter.
These who have thus departed from a cus
tem which was both severe and physically
injurious arc furnishing examples te-be en
ceuraged until the old custom shall have

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
FELONIOUS ASSAULT.
Narrow Escape of a Ilar-Temler.
Last night about 10 o'clock a man
named Jehn Haberbush, living in or uear
Rothsville, this county, entered the
Stevens house restaurant, this city, and
asked for a stew of oysters, and having
eaten them asked for another stew, which
was alse.prepnred for and eaten by him.
He then fumbled in his peckct,awhile and
said he had two dollars when he came iu,
and asked the bartender, Samuel Reese,
te give him his change. Reese told him
he had net seen any of his money, and as
nabcrbush continued te acuse and abuse
him, Reese asked him what was the
matter with him, adding that there must
be semcthhing wrong with him. Haber
bush thereupon pulled a pistol from his
pocket, and advancing towards Reese,
who was behind the bar, said "I'll seen
make something wrong with you, " cock
ing the pistol and aiming it at Reese's
head. Reese seized the pistol just as Haber
bush pulled the trigger, and by rare geed
luck, his thumb slightly overlapped the
nipple of the pistol, se that when the ham
mer fell it struck his thumb instead of the
percussion cap, thus preventing the dis
charge of the weapon, and probably sa
Reese's life. Reese jumped ever the bar,
disarmed Haberbush and gave him a well
deserved thrashing. The police were
seen en hand and took Haberbush te the
lock-up. This morning Mayer MacGenigle
committed him te the county jail for 15
days, for drunken and disorderly conduct.
Meantime Mr. Reese made complaint
against him before Alderman McConemy
of felonious assault and carrying concealed
deadly weapons. These cases will net be
heard until his present term of imprison
ment ends.
