CALVIN PEPPER, Jr.
Kulian Miller one Of the proposed srbitrators de-
cned acting in that capacity account of bis business
avocatons and having been or less connected win
different suits between the Landlords and Tenants upon
both sides but that he had always pursued one ana
Consistent course that he had advised the Tenants
not 10 90 10 the extremes many OF them have in Tela
ton 70 these unhappy difficulties and on the other hand
bad ever opposed the bringing of such suits on the part
Of the Landlords many now upon the calendar, ana
which could not fail 10 make Anii.Renters
The Court remarked that Mr. Miller had been en-
gagged as counsel for the Patroon but That on Inc oe
hand Gov Seward had been engaged as counsel Tor the
Tenants and that one would be set OIL to the other
That the Court Of opinion that better selection OF
arbitrators could not be made.
Mr. Josiah Sutherland. on behalf OF Henry w. LlV-
ipeston rose to reply TO the propositions when Judge
Parker remarked that before the Landlords decideo 70
reject these propositions he wished to make lew sug
gesions Tha, the propositions struck him as oeng
very fair and honorable and such as the Landlords
should sccede 10 without hesitation. That the PROPOSE
tons look toward peace and quietng the community
upon these vexed questions and should therefore meet
with general appreciation. That the questions OF law
involved In the TO be tried were mapy OF them
important and that the Tenants had right to have
them passed upon and adudicated and that the way
proposed il seemed TO him, was altogether tue best Tor
The purpose of preventing runous litigation and bring
ing the questions TO final and speedy termination lie
hoped the propositions would be complied with.
Mr. Sutherland stated that there could be no doubt as
TO the rights OF the Landlords and that therefore the
propositions could not be compiled with That the
Landlords had made mistake in introducing their title
at al n any OF the suite and he regretted that II had
been done That his client Henry w. Livingston was
absent from the country and that he did not feel author
lied to accept of the propositions That Mr. Pepper
came here professedy the Attorney for Ambient
Associations That such associations formed for the
purpose of getting rid Of paying rent snd Illegal in
selves and that every person belonging TO them lie
subject to Indictment That il the duty Of the
Court have listened TO the propositions but to have
censured Mr.. Pepper for the course he has taken.
Judge Parker then remarked that associations 10 de-
fend these other suits according to law not con
rsry law and that he had evidence that the asso
Citations are formed for other than lawful purposes
That if they formed for the purpose of forcbly
ssting the execution Of the law encouraging persons
disguise themselves contrary 20 the statute they
unlawful but that they formed Tor such purposes
is not 10 be presumed That the courts are open to a
and the Tenants have right to appeal to them for the
settlement of their real or imaginary grievances That
he did not agree with Mr. Sutherland that the introduce
ton Of the Landlords title III advised measure
but on the contrary he believed it would be the
Of eventually quoting this whole agitation. 1t would
bring the whole matter to final decision. That he did
expect have his in regard 10 these Difficult
approved Of by either the Landlords the Tenants,
and that should he act as 10 be well spoken Of by
either party il would perhaps he evidence that he had
not administered justice in firm and impartial manner
or without being Influenced by any considerations
cept those OF the right and justice of the matter
Mr. Sutherland then apoogsed very handsomely for
his hasty remarks in relation 10 Judge Parker, and
pressed bis entire satisfaction with the Judicial conduct
aud OF the Judge In regard 10 these unhappy dit
ferences between the Landlords and their Tenants
MI Pepper also availed himself the occasion TO say
that although be considered that of the decisions
of his Honor not in accordance with law, still he
believed that the Tenants him highly for the Of
Int
ity with which he discharges the duties OF his Office
After some farther conversation Hon Mitchell Sanford
| remarked:
ain answer to Mr. Sutherland, who has just addressed
your Honor, and 10 aid In restoring peace and quiet
generously and fairly offered upon this yexed question,
desire say word The counsel says this matter Is en-
rey psn and undis puled This calendar, with It's host
OF causes all to be carried up to higher tribunal upon
grave and important questions interesting these Ten
anls and which they have right to review shows but
clearly that these questions disputed, ugsted,
and mus and will be settled fna, by omeirbuna agreed
upon by the parties, appointed by law to settle them
and desire 10 know why ssinge case, raising and pre-
senting ali the points is not sufficient all other causes TO
abide The decision made and thus large amount Of
and much useless litigation Why not accept The
Offer N thew dislike the gentlemen named
referees refer these your Honor who
decide the questions Of law without the expense Of
separate Trials and to which decision they can enter an s
peal II they dissatisfied can good and valid
why this oAsr is not accepted But the learned
counselor says that he Is not authorised In The absence OF
his employers to 10 reference TO be binding
them. That difficulty 10 easily obviaed Let him consent
that these causes pass over the present term without pre-
Ter Their interests the interests OF these Tenants
the peace and prosperity Of this community, and may add
public opinion demand such a have nothing to
say upon the merits of these questions my only object
TO aid In procuring peace and quiet In urging accept
OF this fair offer that these troubled waters may again
be calm"
The result of the whole matter WAS that the Land
lords and every Of them declined scceding TO the
propositions.
We, the undersigned. Equal Rights Committee for the
County of Columbia certify that the above propositions
made by &. Pepper Jr. to the Landlords were made
with our and consent and We believe that
the entire Anti Rent Tensnry of the County approve
of the propositions and would have faithfully and unan
mousy carried out their provisions had they been
ceded 10 by the Landlords ADAM ID. PULTZ.
