The BANQUET TO JUDGE UNDERWOOD
In answer to a communication from COM
mittee, consisting of Messrs c. Van Winkcl
L. G. Bowden and B. Wardwell, rendering a
public dinner to Judge Jno. &. Underwood, in
behalf "of number of friends and admirers of
the Judge" the following letter has been re-
ceived:
ALEXANDRIA. Va, February Sth, 1869
GENTLEMEN: heartily thank you for the
compliment of a public dinner, which you
tender me in the name and behalf of my Rich
mond friends, and trust ere long may be in a
condition to accept it but am not now able
to indicate the precise time. During the last
six years there have been more cases docketed
in the United States Courts of this District
than during the seventy-two years from the
beginning of the Government up to the late
civil war. You will not, therefore, be surpris-
ed to know that there arc cases demanding my
immediate consideration. Delay 10 the admin
istratioa of justice is almost as Injurious to
suitors as wrong decision, sometimes worse, as
the latter error may be easily corrected by APP
peal. | cannot consent to accept any attentions
of friendship, however otherwise agreeable,
while single case remains submitted and un-
decided, or ready for trial and untried, in my
Court. Hoping, however, that IN short
while the impediment referred to may be re-
moved, and that may then find 4 time for
our mutual greetings,
| am, as ever, your grateful and obliged
friend, JOHN g. UNDERWOOD.
To Messrs. G, Van Winkel l.. G. Bowden,
B. Wardwel, and others.

the reception of large sums; and his father
in-law, Hamilton Fish, was Secretary of
State at Washington. It required but very
simple process of reasoning, under these cir
cumstances, to lead TO the special employ
ment of Mr.. Sidney Webster as leading
counsel for the Spanish Government in this
country
We have no disposition to be unjust to Mr..
Webster. In whatever he has done, he GER
tainly has kept within the limits of the duties
of counsel, as defined by Lord Brougham.
That great advocate, in his celebrated defense
of Queen Caroline, said:-"An advocate by
the sacred duty which he owes his client,
knows, in the discharge of that Office, but one
person in the world-that client and none
other. TO save that client by all expedient
means-to protect that client at all hazards
and costs to all others, and among others to
himself-is the highest and most unques-
toned of his duties; and he must not regard
the alarm, the suffering, the torment, the de-
struction which he may bring upon any
other. Nay, separating even the duties of .
patriot from those of an advocate, and casting
them if need be, to the wind, he must go on,
reckless of the consequences, if his fate it
should unhappily be to involve his country
in confusion for his clients protection"
We once heard the late Daniel Webster ex-
press in decided terms his dissent from this
doctrine of Lord Brougham's; but this is a
free country, and it may be that one Webster
thinketh differently from another Webster o.
And in regard to Mr.. Fish we have as little
disposition to do the slightest injustice. We
do not suspect that he deliberately weighed
out SO many pieces of silver against so many
ounces of blood. We do not even suppose
for moment that MIR. Fish could be ap-
preached by any offer of money; nor, more,
that he would Intentionally or knowingly
allow the circumstance that his son-in-law has
been retained by the Spanish Government to
| influence his foreign policy.
But is Mr. Fish certain tbat he is not un-
consciously to himself, influenced by the
heavy retainer paid to Mr.. Webster? Is Con-
gress certain that the foreign policy of the
State Department is wholly uninfuenced by the
| Spanish gold paid to and received by Sidney
Webster?
Can any man who has faith in human ma
ture say that Mr.. Fish's position is one in
which it is safe and prudent for Secretary
of State to stand? Would John Quincy
Adams, or Andrew jackson, or Caleb Cush-
ing ever have allowed such a shadow, such a
doubt, or such question even, to rest upon
| his name?
The New York Tymes-iust as the Spanish
| gunboats leave on their mission of slaughter,
and to strangle the cause of infant freedom
| in Cuba-publishes an account of magnif-
cent dinner party at Secretary Fishs, with
| the announcement that Mrs. Fish received in
| a stately manner. Stately means state-like.
| Now we do not object that the Fishes are
| state-hke, but that the State is becoming
| Fish-like and Sidney Webster-like in its for
| eign policy, and that Sidney Webster savors
| all over of Spanish gold, the price of patriot
| blood and of Cuban freedom.

patient of a state of things which allows the
proof of particular doctrine to depend on
the researches of canonists and ecclesiastical
historians, even though their orthodoxy should
be unimpeachable. Like Lord Shaftesbury,
they complain of the tyranny of professors,
and they seek to close all controversy by pro-
claiming the infallibility of the Pope, just as
the evangelical leader proposed to end it by
affirming the infallibility of the authorized YER
sion of the Bible. The man Of eruditiOn who
is guided by the standards in use among the
learned, the reasoner who insists on using
his faculties, are not therefore likely here
after to find refuge in the Roman Church,
even though some natural perversity should
incline them towards it. There will only re-
main, we trust we may say it without disre-
spect, the gushing and shriekng convert.
The chances too, are that he will be the most
extreme and therefore the most offensive of
the kind, since, owing to the freedom which
controv ersialists Of very different order
have established within the pale of the Church
of England, there turn out to be ample OPP
portunities in it for indulging taste for
foolish paradox and silly ceremonialism with
out openly deserting it. The future convert
to Romanism is but too likely to be even an
exaggeration of Archbishop Manning or
Father Faber, and as his extravagances are
evidently those for which the Papal Court is
feeling the strongest inclination, it is likely
that there will be long succession of convert
archbishops and bishops.

JUSTICE TO WASHINGTON.

-
Whenever an eminent radical dies, we are
Immediately informed by his partisan ad-
mirers that the dead man was a second
Washington. So many departed radicals
have received this post-mortem brevet that
we are forced TO one of two conclusions:
either the Father of his Country possessed
marvellous variety of contradictory qualities,
or the complimentary comparison is as
meaningless as the cheap brevets so freely
distributed by Congress after the close of the
war. Mr. Lincoln was a second Washington,
if we may believe his unreserved admirers.
Are we, then, justified in believing that Wash
ington had fondness for sitting with his feet
elevated upon the Presidential table, and for
illustrating his diplomatic views with little
stories of a disproportionate breadth? So, too,
Mr.. Stanton was a second Washington. This
is reliable, for the statement is made by no
less an authority than that eminent
divine, that pillar of the
sanctuary and divorced woman's
best companion, Henry Ward Beecher.
Washington then was, of course, profane,
boisterous, ana insulting towards everyone
with whom he came in contact. Now, we
are rather inclined to disbelieve this. Not
that we desire to speak i'll Of Mr.. Stanton now
that he is dead, but because we object to de-
flaming the character of George Washington,
who is certainly quite as dead as the late
War Secretary. II Stanton so closely re-
sembled Washington that the former can be
called a second edition of the latter, 1t
logically follows that Washington must have
been an early edition, an ayatar so to speak,

calling at the "Free Labor Dureau'-the
term ''free' having reference TO the fact that
its services cost nothing to applicants The
location is pleasant and convenient of access
in the Plimpton Building on Ninth street,
between Second and Third avenues near the
Cooper Institute, Bible House, Historical
Society, and other prominent institutions.
Applications from the country begin TO pour
in, and the demand from the West will doubt
less be very great as soon as people know
how to secure 'help' from this valuable in
stitution-about all which matters Mr.. Losee
will give full information to persons who
write or call upon him. 1t is worthy of par
ticular notice that about one-third of all the
applicants for employment have already been
furnished with situations in the cOWnhy-a
very encouraging indication of what may be
done, by increased effort in this and other
cities, for relieving multitudes who suffer in
large towns for want of the employment which
the country readily affords.
