shown by furrowed cheeks and deliberate
step, his eye and voice and language in
dictate the vigor of maturity. He was born
and educated at Annapolis, but removed
to Baltimore in 1917, where he has prac-
tised law for half q century without inter
mission. He was for several years a Judi
cial reporter and state legislator, and en-
tered the Senate in ls45. In 1919 he be-
came Attorney General, but resigned on
the death of President Taylor. In 1856
be was senior pro-slavery counsel in the
bred Scott case. In 1868 he returned to
the Senate, where his experience and abil-
ty have made him the Democratic leader.
He is still actively engaged in the Su-
preme Court, wherein standing as a jurist
is almost without equal. In the Senate
he is a frequent speaker, dextrous in de-
bate, close and strong in argument, with q
finished style, q fine %elocution and digni-
fed manner. He was the associate of
great men in the past, and is among our
noblest representatives of the old school
of gentlemen and Senators.
To the right and front of Mr.. Sumner,
is Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois, author OF
the "Freedmen's Bureau and "Ciyil
Rights" Bills. He is tall and thin, with
light hair and beard, has an intellectual
forehead, spare cheeks rather pale, wears
spectscles, and looks like a quiet scboI
arly man of moderate views and philo- !
sophie mind. He is a native of Cennec-
ticut1 ffty-three years old, and has
been a prominent politician and lawyer
in Illinois since 1870. He was q ~legisla-
tor, State Secretary and Supreme Court
was elected Representative in 1854
and Senator in 1855. He is g hard work
er, able and conscientious, speaks rarely
bus always with point and force, is fond
of legal questions and luminous in their
discussion, and is everywhere regarded
among the leading statesmen of the Re-
publican party.

putting away at an Indifferent cigar. AT another,
two traders were counting down money, in man
ner which ought to have been more accurate than
the ordinary way of doing this in banks, but was
somewhat less rapid; while at q third, was soli-
tary calculator, cyphering away with piece of
chalk, and who, to judge from his face, was busy
with the most difficult problems of arithmetic.
But the ferry boat comes along, and brings
with it an odor of the stable, which tells that
cattle are its most frequent passengers. The op'
posite shore, you now find, loses some of its charm
as you approach. a number of queer looking
buildings turn out to be the sheds of bricEyard.
This business is said to pay Immensely, but this
fact will not at present. induce us to describe it,
Several private residences look as pretty as they
did in the distance, and tempt you to remain per-
manently. In the neighborhood, there is some
show of cotton and cane, and numerous orange
trees are laden with the golden Hesperdean fruit.
The bank of the river is covered with small trag-
ments of cypress wood, worn smooth by the
action of the water, and with the trunks Of trees
which were being sawed into fire-wood, before
removal from the river. There was a party of
a dozen Chinese fishermen, who lived att little
distance below the crossing, by catching buffalo
and catfish, and near the crossing itself we were
not little astonished to discover that the Cosmo-
politan Exchange was located, instead of being in
the heart of the city, and that its frequenters were
as much colored as they were cosmopolitan.
| What we regarded with more attention than
anything else was the Harvey Canal, commencing
at this point, and one which the traveller passes on
his way to Fort Livingstone, or Grand Island.
The canal proper is about seven miles long, and
runs into Wacha Bayou, which latter flows into
Lake Salvador, and, through it, communicates
with the gulf. From this lake comes some Of the
fish, oysters and large quantities of game that are
brought to this market. Upon the shores Of this
lake inuumerable quantities of the shells are
found which are used upon some of our public
ways, and barges laden with these were, at the
time of our visit having their contents removed
in wheeibarrows.
f What we further saw and heard, and our ad
ventures back to the buster portion Of the city, we
postpone to some other occasion.

was tried and convicted Of perjury, and was sent
to the penitentiary. Mr.. Belden happen
ing to be in court when Judge Abel arraigned the
man, Recorder Vennard's clerk pointed out Mr.
Belden IS q person who had been guilty of the
same offence, in swearing, as bail for a party
committed for trial for felony, that he possessed
certain real estate which he had never
owned. The affidavit of the clerk was taken,
and Mr. Belden was held to answer the charge,
bail being fixed at $1502, and one Michael Jordan
becoming surity.
Under the bench warrant issued, deputy sheriff
arrested Mr.. Belden, while, as an attorney at law
he was attending to suit in the Sixth District
Court, yesterday morning. Mr.. Belden was brought
before Judge Abel and, after the trials and other
proceedings were over his case came up.
MIR. Belden demanded the name of the party
who said his security was not good.
Judge Abel said the attention of the court had
been drawn to the fact by Mr.. Jacobs. 1t was
seen that Jordan's property, worth about two
thousaad dollars was mortgaged to such an eX-
tent that he was worthless as security.
Mr.. Belden-Then I am to understand Mr.. Lu-
zenburg had capias issued against me?
District Attorney-Most certainly, Mr.. Belden ;
when discovered your security was worthless, I
ElONeu bluL d pltlo laouG against Spu' +Il'
cobs' statement satisfied me that your bail was no
security to the State, and it became my duty to
require either your body or sufficient voucher
for your appearance for trial.
Mr.. Belden-Will be granted an opportunity
to obtain other security?
Judge AbeiI-Do you ask to go out yourself fol
| that purpose?
Mr.. Belden-No sir, have a friend who will q

that friend returns.
Judge Abell-You are in the custody Of tn
sheriff. He will, no doubt, allow you reasonable
time remaining in court to obtain security. YO
are accused Of great crime. You are charge
with committing perjury yourself and inducin
others to commit reTjnry. These are serious OF
fenses and in such cases it is the duty of courts
Justice to be rigid.
Mr.. Bellan-You are prejulced, judge. Yo
have already pronounced me guilty.
Judge AbeII-Take your seat, sir. You are n
more than any other prisoner.
Mr.. Walter, as counsel for Mr.. Bellen, argue
that this was a case of oppression; that ther
was no proof the security was not good, and AZ
pealed TO the court not to let it 60 abroad that
member of the bar had been dragged to jail as
felon. .
Judge Abel rnplied that the records Of til
, court showed that Jordan was nsolyent wort
nothing whatsoever, yet he had soemnly swol
that, over and above his debts, he was wor
fifteen hundred dollars. This court oppressed
citizen. Justice was administered alike to all, b
the higher the station in society of the ofcnde
; the more exactly should the law be put to him.

In our report of the proceedings of this court,
had on Wednesday, it was stated that in the case
of one John Bayley, soldier of the 18th u S.
Infantry, charged with assault and battery upon
a citizen, the district attorney had entered nole
proSequi for the reason that he considered the
prisoner had already suffered sufficient, even if
guilty. The district attorney was misunderstood
in this He dismissed the prosecution, because
the sheriff, some two months ago, had discharged
the accused from prison by order of the military
authorities, which order is subjoined:

government and the difficulty of obtaining bail in
