except Ross, who has vamosed to Europe, and
Senator Bayard, who sent his son as proxy, and

not been quite ~ public aud had not Salisbury
previously kissed all the plebans, he would have

for "daring to leave their high seats upon the

his father" Why he forgot that the legitimate
business Of the Judge was TO condemn the guilty
criminal, whether he be common thief or Sem
