GET through he will be far toward the enjoy

ouate conception of its meaning. He hives by

We call these gentlemen lawyers. Ah0
money they earn is called "fees." But the new
phrase belongs to another class; and the LABOR

mon speech without attention.
IF Mr. Robert J. Walker can accept large

history and autobiography, to the Washington
journals. what shall we say of Sam Ward, the
great American lobbyist, Thomas b. Florence,

many "pleadingsn and so many addresses
meant for jury Of the American people; that
they came from the teeming brain OF Robert
J. Walker, and that the Car of all the Rus
sias paid for them as Lawyers FeesW The
more we consider this new phrase and dwell
upon its meaning, and into what vast compli-
cations it leads us, the more thankfully we
welcome it into our common speech. The
| euphemisticaI phrase Lawyers Fees will be
held to cover every kind of duty except that
of the gentlemen who earn their living
by work. Mr.. Sam Ward will give legal
dinners. The hungry Congressman will sip bis
champagne very much as the young bari1sters

Coyle and Mr.. Wendell will enter upon the
dignity of stuff gowns and the magnificent
head Of Thomas B. Florence will be covered
with the wig of the Lord Chancellor of England.
We trust that these new Lawyers" in the

to the dignity of their calling, now that they
have found phrase which certainly hath hon

The Law Is noble calling. Proud should

to black letter. to Latin, aud tho innumer-
able law-books. We honor tho profession. A
lawyer. for instance, like the attorney en-
ployed by Mr.. Fisk to sue the whole American
Press and who has succeeded in having one
half the judges in New York enjoined by the
other half; who has brought meekness into the
face of the tremendous Barnard, and energy
into the counsels of the placid Cardozo, is almost
a Divine dspensaton. But he represents merely
a remnant OF the profession. A lawyer like the

Radical; yet he reported, three years ago, that
he could not govern South Carolina satisfactorily
because many of her best citizens were excluded
for rebellion from the posts IN which he oadiy
needed their services. Our country needs the
best use of all her sons, whether gentle OF
humble, and has no moral right to bandage hef
eyes and tie her hands behind her back. Above
all, the champions of Impartial Freedom nave
no right to squander the opportunity now pre-
sented for placing the Rights of the Blacks
under tho Rgis of guaranty which virtually
insures them against serious question IN the
future We plead for an early and cordial
response to the Virginia overture.

The session of the French Senate and Legis-
latve Body was yesterday opened by the En-
peror. No definite indication was given as to
the Imperial policy during the coming year.
As in all his speeches, the Emperor advocated
the establishment of a strong Government as a
condition for enjoying the benefits of liberty.
He regards the recent supplementary elections
as an Endorsement of his policy by the people,
and feels confident that at the coming elections
he will again be sustained. The completion OF
the military organization was alluded to in so
emphatic manner that his speech is likely to
be considered as less pacific than bis Now
Years addresses.
