long as tho order Of tho court wm founded o.
the Judicial authority Of the facts, he, th
speaker, could not find fault Tho speaker coul
not imagine why the profession should assembi
and question q Judicial finding or holding.
The speaker was gratiaed that at the meetinI
Of the friends Of Mr. Bradley II took the seem
ingly harmless course IL did, through the Judi
cious advice Of those having the matter II
charge. II the meeting was held fo' the purpos
Of bringing about q reconciliation between th,
two gentlemen. Il met with the speaker hearties
approval Otherwise, II Il was held for the pur
pose Of oondemning either Of the two gentlemen
he was not In favor Of Il. He Qhe speaker wal
gratihed at the remarks Of the chairman, II
which ho spoke Of tho morality that should exis,
among the members Of the bar
The speaker spoke Of the high calling invested
In the judicial robes, It's power In the commercial
world, and Its influence In the social circle. IL,
thought the position they all occupied hero wal
delicate. The speaker had always met will
courtesy at the hands Of members Of the Wash.
ington bar. He had always cultivated the kind.
est and plsasantest feelings toward the gentle.
man who occupied IN unfortunate position, but
until the gentleman could free himself from thai
which rested upon him, II was their duty to sus.
tain the Judge In his decision.
Mr.. Thompson said he was not present to give
aid and comfort to any, or for the purpose Of
fomsnting disoord, but II he could do any thing
to restore the entente eordiaic between the two
gentlemen, he would gladly do Ii. He heartily
concurrcd In all that his friend, Mr.. Riddle, had
expressed. The speaker did no. concur In the
proceedings Of tho meeting which had been
previously held. They shsuld have proceeded
noisolossly In their friendship Il they wished,
and not In the public manner they did. Heartily
concurring In the preamble and resolutions, and
hoping they would bo unanimously adopted, tho
speaker took his seat.
Gen. Muzzy rose and said that he had very
decided opinion In reference to the meeting which
had been held, but he did not think II proper at
the present time to promulgate II in public. A
member Of the bar should always DO loyal to the
court in which he practiced. Believing in that,
and believing II wrong to commit the members
Of the bar to anything antagonistic to tho court,

present meeting. Mr.. NJ. desired, in this con-
nection, to offer some resolutions which he had
prepared, and which he would offer as n substi.
