Philadelphia Frena. Standing at tbe front table in the Supreme Court-room, almost anv ilnv wf the term, you will see the subject of mis BKetcn.. tie is unciersizeu in every way, except that his head is somewhat larger than tbe average man's. His body does not do htm justice. It is small, apparently frail, hiirh striinc and nervous. As he raises his hand to make a gesture and the cuff pulls back, you notice that the wrist isdolicate and that the tendons are large and promi nent. It is a fine, small organism, the basilar nature not making large drains upon tne system, tne strengtu and nu trition going to reinforce the moral and intellectual wan. He is of a species ucn as every one Knows some speci men of men of force of character and strength of brain, whose nerves and will carry them further and enable them to do better work than the mus eles of most men. The impression that the face gives you tells the story of the character, i but of the Attorney Gen eral is strong and intellectual. There is no weakness there, and there is nev er a mask ou it. It is what could be called a large-featured face. The nose fa prominent and aquiline, the eyes are deep set and frank. The chin and mouth are strong; the common expres sion1 la thougnuui. ordinarily you would take the man for a student. Oc casionally, when he is aroused you would realize that he is full of courage ana oi vigorous, umuiy lighting now trsr Bfs Ancestry. There are a hundred ways in which he shows his Scotch-Irish extraction in his voice, in bis quick speech which sometimes, flows like a torrent, in a certain caustic wit, and in a healthy batred of shams and hypocrites. Wayne MacVeagh is a young man yet. He looks even younger than he is. for he was bo. a forty-eight years ago, and Is one or Chester ixmuty's contribu tions to tbe notable men of Pennsyl vania, having been born at Phoanix ville in 1833. The stock from which he sprang has given the State and country some of its ablest men. Penn sylvania cherishes, as it ought, the strong race which has always been a full reservoir of power, and bus made her so prominent in both the world of politics and the world of business. Mr. MacVeagh inherits most of the good qualities of his people, and bus added to them a larger and wider culture than most of the race have attained to. He has flourished among strong men, and is the intellectual peerof most of them. But this small man who addresses the Supreme Court, and who is listened to so respectfully by the lawyers, is not popular among the oliticians with whom he comes daily in contact, now that he has entered into public life. There has been little in this life to talk about for the public. Years ago there was something of romance lu it; when Simon Cameron received his defeat at tbe bands of the young lawyei and saw him marry his favorite daughter, de spite the opposition of her powerful father. He was just as determined then, to- accomplish what he desired, despite Mr. Cameron, us he is now to overthrow the Cameron methods in politics. Ills Training Mr. MacVeagh was 21 years old when He graduated from Yale in the class of 63. It was a good' class, and Mac Veagh. was notuu worthy of it. He was a scholar of an independent habit of mind, and he was a thorough investi gator;. He had the industry and the power of analysis and synthesis which make men-good and successful search ers after truth, and which are invalua ble to those who have large dealings with other men, whose business it is to find out the complexion of other peo ple's minds and to make war upon the vicious classes, whether iu society or parities. Mr. MacVeagh stood well in his class.' A man with so high a mind as bis, and with-his disposition to do bis work thoroughly and as well as it can be done, must have graduated among the first men. When he left college he studied law in the office of Joseph J. Lewis, a famous lawyer of Chester County in his day, and he was admitted to the bur in 1856. The country now knows Mr. MacVeagh Has been a successful lawyer. He has always been a student of his profession, and that means, of course, that he is a lawyer of solid acquirements. As the profession itself would say, be is a learned, lawyer and among the ablest of your city of able lawyers. Philadcl- nhlans know what that means, and how blgb a rank a lawyer has when he is aoreutt or Doth the leadiug rinlmlel pbla lawyers of the present aud with those of tradition. When the late President was once talking with his Attorney General concerning a man he wanted to appoint to a vacant Attorney ueneraisniu ne sain: "ue is a man like you MacVeagh; a man who loves the books." That describes precisely and better thau it could be in many column the Kind or lawyer Mr. Mac Veagh is. During all the days of bis maturity ne has been a scholarly inves tigator.. He has beeu an industrious student who has worked in many fields of learning and lu many directions. In Bostou be would be called a culti vated man. I believe that phrase is sneered at in other parts or the couu try, but it is a good one, all the same, and it indicates what I want to say. There is a good deal of meaning in the figure of speech wnicn linens a man's mind to a neiu oi miiu wuicu una ueen diligently tilled by the husbandman and Mr. Mac Veagh has beeu a curefu and industrious husbandman iu his owd mental vineyard. He is ready now, not only, to receive the rewards of "his labors, but to wear the crown worthily. He has prepared himself to serve the publio in an otilciul capacity by serving it well as a lawyer and as a good citizen; what he has come to he baa grown fax. He has reached the Cabluet through a complete develop ment No adventitious circumstances have made Wayne MucVeagh u prom inent public man. He made himself by taking wise advantage of all tbe op portunities offered blru, aud be has grown in Influence by tbs Blow and sura prooeos of doing, diligently aud veil all that baa been, entrusted to him. His Ability as a Lawyer; lawven. however, do not Interest lie public very muon until they enter into public lire. Mr. MacVeagh has never belonged to the class of his pro fession who are constantly before the Courts in what may be called 'star cases." His private practice in West Chester was large, but ever since his marriage with Miss Cameron, which was his Second marriage, he has been a railroad lawyer. It is generally re ported in the newspapers, from day to day, that Mr. MacVeagh will retire from the Cabinet to resume his place as counsel for the Pennsylvania Kail road Company. He is not counsel for that Company, and, I believe, never has been, except incidentally. His brother-in-law, the present Senator Cameron, had at one time control of the stock of the Northern Central Rail road Company, and Mr. MacVeagh was its counsel. When the Pennsyl vania Company finally bought the con trolling interest In the roan, Mr. Mac Veagh continued to be its counsel. His ability as a lawyer has made him the counsel for the road and for the Camerons. That family does not em ploy legal talent on the basis of rela tionship; they do business entirely on business principles, and while they would, other things being equal, prefer a relative or connection, the other things must be clearly equal. Mr. Mac Veagh Is probably one of the best rail road lawyers iu the country. If he were not, he would certainly not re sume his place. The fact that a law yer has been Attorney General of the United States isnotof itself a sufficient recommendation to the great corpora tion by which Mr. MacVeagh is em ployed at what I assume Is a handsome salary. There must be something stronger than mat in his tavor. In Public Life. Mr. MacVeagh 's public life has been a short and. brilliant one. I do not mean to intimate by that that it is by anv means ended. Judging from the time during which most other men of Mr. Macv eagh's power remain in pub lic life, this new career bas only just opened for him. I cannot help think ing that Mr. Mac V each has a future before him, and the 1'rem may have the satisfaction of supporting him as the reform candidate for Governor next vear. Whether he shall attain that distinction or not, it would be un wise to assume that Mr. MacVeagh will go out of politics when he goes out of the Cabinet. That is not in the nature of things. He began public life by at tending to the duties of citizenship. He was always what may really be called a good citizen. None of the du ties of politics were beneath his con scientious attention. He asked no re wards; he ran for no office; he never begged for nominations or votes; but he attended faithfully to whatever came to his nana. iur. aiacveugn never neglected a public duty, and I don't know that he ever asked for a Dublic honor or reward. He served contentedly enough, If one may judge anything from appearances, iu the ranksof citizens, wnen tne war oroKe out he was willing toserve his country and his State as a soldier. It was his first appearance out of the ranks, and it is noteworthy that this appearance meant sacrifice und not large opportun ity for urlorv. He served as Major of a cavalry troop that had the disagreeable and dangerous duty assigned it or guarding the southern borderof Penn sylvania. He was in a part of the country liable to be raided and which was raided by the con leaeraies. i nere were no ureal buttles in which to win military fame; there were any quanti ty of hazardous enterprises, and the surroundings of a border and guerilla warfare are always dangerous. jir. MacVeaeh returned to private life so modestlv and ouietlv. and has always (reserved so much silence on the sub ect of his army experience, that pro tubly very few people outside the circle of his immediate acquaintance kiiuw that during the War of the Rebellion he won honorably the title of Major. It is certain tnat no one calls him "Mnior" in Washington, or by any military title. Ill fact. Mr. Muc eagu seems to resent the mention of the fact that anvthlnir he may have done en titles him to any special honor or re ward. He brushes aside, apparently with some impatience, suggestions that he Is to be credited with anything he has done in a public way. However much a man like Mr. MacVeagh may restrain himself, sooner or later he is bound to come to the surface in public affairs. He was born with a love lor the things that concern the people. From its organization he was devotedly attached to the Republican party, and lit was devoted to it because he believ ed its advancement to power would be for the best interests oi the country. If there is a Republicau in the country who joined the organization because he believed in its principles, it is Mr. Mac Veaeh. I think be never hud any po litical ambition to satisfy by espousing the cause of the party he has served so long aud on which he has made no de mands. 1 do not mean to say mat ue lias not had, or that he now lias not, any political ambition. He would be a strange man, and, I am inclined to say, not a good citizen, who, naving the interest in public questions that Mr. MacVeagh has, would still refuse to give bis strength and talents to the Cublic service. Mr. MucVeugh proba ly has an honorable umbition.an am bition to stand well not only with those among whom he lives, but with the larger constituency which judges of men by the esteem in which they are held at home. He probably, like all men of power, would gladly exercise the ability to administer public affairs which he possesses iu a very marked degree; but he will attain bis ambition by the simple art of doing what he is asked to do thoroughly well, and by always espousing the cause of honest government, ine cause oi me peupio aaainst the machinations of the con trollers and manipulators ot the ma chine. This simplicity ot purpose and method constitutes the power oy wnicu Mr. MacVeagh has riseu to a promi nent place among tbe public men of the country. As a Politician. He is a good politician in the sense that be is wise enough to have perfect confidence in tbe honesty ami right intentions of the people. He has the courage which comes from fuith in the future. He knows that time is on the side of those who fight for honesty and the people, and those who contend for place and power craftily and dishonest ly must be overwhelmed iu the end. In that way be is a good politician. Perhaos if he warped bis moral nature sufficiently he aiight be a good politic ian in the lowest sense of that much- abused word. There is a large amouut of craft in tbe race from which lis springs, and the politics of Pennsyl vania have not always been beneficial ly affected by it. The reader will un doubtedly be able to recall the names of descendants of the Scotch-Irish race in Pennsylvania whose influence lu party politics bas not been always for the best. Mr. MacVeagh's cunning, however, bas beeu turned in another direction, and it bus been of great ser vice tobiin in the contests be has been called upon to wage from time to tin. against the wrong-doers of his own party. Everyone at all familiar with ins campaign or '03 reoouecuj now skillfully Mi-. MacVeagh performed bis duties as Chnirman of the Republi can State Committee of Pennsylvania. It was his first entrance into official life, for the control of tbe machinery of a great party and the leadership of the organization in an Important cam paign gives a man a public office more important than most of those that are recognized by the statutes, and whose incumbents are paid from the public Treasury. The fame that he achieved by the management of the Pennsyl vania campaign sent him as Minister to Turkey, a post that be occupied only two years. Such a place as the Turk ish mission is could not have suited very well a man of Mr. MacVeagh 'b active mental haoits. He was not made to idle life away on the shores of the Bosphorus when active duties were pressing in other directions. Why lie Resigned the Ministry to Turkey. There were other and more potent causes, too, which induced him to leave the public service. Those who know Mr. MacVeagh best know that ne will never remain in office under an Administration in which he has not perrect confidence. Fublicofflce means to him a public duty. He is not there to be honored or because he has served bis party well: he is there to do his duty to the public thftt employs him. I have had many times excellent rea son to doubt the honesty and the pa- iriiiiiaiii ui pruiexsionai reiormers. I have never had reason to doubt Mr. MacVeagh, and I think he is truly a reformer. He could not have accepted ollice uuder General Grant. It was the methods of the machine under the Administration he had done so much to elect that drove Mr MacVeagh first into hostility to the machine, and lu 1872 into apen hostility. But Mr Mac Vcaait skipped his open revolt when the Liberal movement died. He never went over to the Democracy. All'his political affections are centered in the organization which came Into being in the year when he reached bis majori ty, and for which he has worked faith fully and diligently for these many yeurs. His desire is that the Republi can party shall retain its present prom inence iu Federal and State affairs; his honest belief is that it. cannot continue to do so if the machine remains in power. Like the Press, he is fighting crooked methods and bad men lusid tbe organization, because be wants no only to preserve tbe organization but to increase its power and influence. A Notable Incident of His Career. Mr. MacVcagh's principal appear ance in politics, before he was made Attorney General, was as one of the Commissioners to Louisiana, whose work was to arrange the treaty by which the Nichols Government came Into power in the State. The country knows that story by heart, and I shall not repeat it here. His co-Commis sioners found him of very great assist ance In the performance of the task which hud beeu assigned them. His astuteness, his clear perception of whut was needed, his thorough knowledge or men, tne unhesitating mauner in which he approached all who could shed light on the situation in Louis iana, and the bolduess with which he conducted the investigation, contribu ted more tuau an tbe labors of the oth ers to the successful conclusion of the mission of the Commission. As a Cabinet Member. Themanneriii whichMr. MacVeaeh went into President Garfield's Cabinet is characteristic of bis political career, ne did not represent auy powertui po litical influence; he was ttie choice of the President against the choice of the machine influences of his State. As the President himself declared, lie was bis own man in the Uabluct. it was bis own capacity, his own character. his own services to the cause of good government rather than to the cause of a political party, that made Air. Muc- Veagh's political advancement possi ble. There are few men in public life who have won their way to the front by so persistent and consistent a per forniance of public duties. Time was on his side, aud the future has made good all its promises to the inau whose care tor what was to come was snowu in hU devotion to the demands of the present. With those who came in contact with him Mr. MacVeagh is a popular muH. He is frank sometimes to brusqueuess. You cannot look him in the eye and not believe every word he tells you. He is one of the public men who can look you squarely in the eye. If he does not want to give you information he tells you so lraukly He is, above all things, a sincere mau. He acts on his sincere beliefs, and he never hesitates to do what he thinks the necessities of the occusion demand He is, iu other words, bold but not rash. He is not one of those who rush in where wise men fear to tread. He is cautious aud far-sighted. Wheu the occasion comes he is ready to meet it. aud friendships and even family ties are never permitted to stand in the way of the performance of his public duties, bociaiiy, Mr. Macveugh is a delightful man. He is thoroughly gen nine and unaffected. He meets men in the same spirit in which they come to him. He gives bis confidence cautiously, but when he does give it he gives it completely.and honestly. He deceives no one, as is too commonly the habit of politicians, by pretending to impart confidences wheu they are merely concealing the truth. Ills Home and Its Surroundings. There ure few men in public life who seem so completely domestic as Mr, MacVeagh. He is always at home ut ter office hours. Pb'.ladelphians know how he lives in their city. Here be has leased the large house built and owned by ex-Attorney General Wil liams. The house is in a beautiful part of the city and iu one of its best neigh borhoods. It was built to gratify the social ambitions of Mrs. Williams, one of the most brilliant women of the Grant regime. It is a great double house, with an Immense parlor or su loon, and doubtless, were Mr. Mac Veugh to remain in tbe Cabinet, it would be tbe scene of some brilliant entertainments during the coming winter. Mr. MacVeagh has several children, two young men having al most, if not quite, reached their major ity. One of them is studying law at Columbia College Law School in the City of New York. HENRY U.
