The Lawyers Again.


Yesterday the lawyers defended them
selves, B. +. Moore being the actual respon-
dent against the charge of contempt A
full report of the proceedings will be found
in another column of the STANDARD. They
were defended by Messrs. Fowle, Barnes,
Battle and Person. The speech of the lat
ter gentleman was very exhaustive one.
1t exhausted about two hours of time and
the patience of the audience. The speeches
of the attorneys for the defendants were very
good as general thing, but failed to con-
vince the audience that the lawyers had not
been guilty of contempt. All q them, how
ever, greatly injured the erect t-ef their ar
guments hy attempting to be pathetic about
the accused. Unfortunately for them, the
father of the bar was present in propria per-
soma, and their complimentary illusions to
him were rendered ridiculous by the differ
ence of the ideal and real Moore, notwith-
standing the fact that the father of lawyers
had put on his best attire. The lawyers
should have put him out of sight if they
wanted to create sympathy in his behalf.
We don't wish to be understood as at all
rejecting upon the personal appearance of
Mr.. Moore, but we respectfully submit to
our legal friends that he isn't exactly the
proper style ofperson to sit as the picture of
injured innocence! His figure is against him.
We know that this candid advice will great
ly endear us to our legal friends, and es-
pecially to Mr.. M. himself, whose acute
intellect will enable him to see the wisdom
of our remarks. In all that We have said
on the subject we have been actuated by the
purest wishes for the welfare of the lawyers.
There is no class of society for whose pc
culiar talents we have so great a respect as
for lawyers. We don't, however, like 10
have too much to do with them, as they
cannot, with all their talents, be called
profitable acquaintances. Having made these
explanations we will proceed to say that
the lawyers did their level best to clear them
selves from the charge of contempt. The
decision of the Court has not yet been made
pubic but probably will be given to day.
If the lawyers get clear this time we don't
think there will ever be any more protests.
Their late experience has cured them of any
| fondness for protests, and we don't believe
that any member of the Bar who should get
up another would be all popular They
have not been hurt much so far, but worse
scared lot of gentlemen would be hard to
find. Whatever may be the decision of the
Court we hope our legal friends will depart
"wiser and better men," and fully resolved
to ego and sin no more"

The Richmond Wing has made the origi-
nal and highly interesting discovery that
there is civil was in North Carolina, and
proceeds to indulge in sensation theories to-
gether with the usual quantity of "Just what
we predicted" All of which excitement
proceeds from the fact that twenty five mil
ltla were sent into Jones county to protect
the law abiding citizens of that county.
The number of bad men who were commit
ting acts of violence in that county render
ed it necessary that the law officers should
have stronger force at their command to
aid them in preserving the lives and proper
ty law abiding citizens of all parties. The
commiseration expressed by the Wing for

In speaking of the contest between the
Bench and the Bar, the Sentinel hears talk
of Bragg's bread, Moore's bread and Hay
woods, but says, "let them hunger, let
them perish" Inasmuch as the editor of
the Sentinel is not engaged in the contest,
his willingness to see Messrs. Haywood,
Moore and Bragg perish, cannot be regarded
as indicating any great amount of self-denial
upon his part. Indeed, it looks as if he was
very willing to see some of their practice
fall into his hands. We rather think that
Messrs Haywood, Bragg and Moore, the
parties interested would prefer not to perish,
and will still continue to have an affectionate
regard for bread s-

Ready to lay the French Atlantic Cable.

Our European kilograms, says the New
York Herald, informs US that the Great
Eastern, having on board the French At
lantic telegraph cable, had moved safely out
of the Thames, was altogether in admirable
trim and would reach Portland to-day The
Chiltern had gone ahead as pioneer. We
shall hear in day or two, doubtless, of the
arrival of the Great Eastern at Brest and of
the complete arrangements for paying out
the cable from that point to the United
States We are glad the enterprising COM
pany which has undertaken this work are
going on with in spite of the opposition Of
the old cable monopolists and their allies on
this side. All we have to say is, lay your
cable, gentlemen, and we assure you that
the people of the United States will respond
with hearty good speed. Put it uu-
der the Atlantic and land it at the point you
have designed in the United States, make it
an accomplished fac, t,and our word for it you
will meet with no serious or long obstruction.
This country will allow no grasping monopo-
lists The people are too much impressed
with the value and importance of such an
enterprise and rivalry in transatlantic tele-
graphy to suffer the company to be defeated.
Our government must not be made the tool
of the dog-in-tbe-manger schemes of a few
monopolists to the manifest detriment of the
public good. Should injuctions or any
legal hair splittings be resorted to for the
purpose of stopping the operation of the
French cable means will be found to set these
aside, and Congress, as soon as it meets, will
be compelled to take liberal action in the
matter, should any action be necessary. We
want this this cable and as many more cables
as the business between the two continents
will justify, so as to cheaper the rate of
| charges, facilitate communication and pro-
mote commerce. g.g Ga a3oFT 7a

Not squeer'' at all. The copperheads have

see what is going on above them. They are
buried so deep that they never can get up in

The Fashions.

Formerly the fashions In New York were
months behind those in Paris; but now, says
the ~ z. Herald, every steamer that reaches
this port, after run of a few days across the
Atlantic, brings the latest novelties ready
for immediate reproduction, and nothing
hinders our enterprising modistes frcm even
more speedily importing, by means of the
Atlantic telegraphic cable, such full and
minute descriptions Of a new STYLE on the
very day of its first appearance in Paris, as
shall enable them to supply their customers
with it on the following day. So marvel
lous are the effects wrought by steam and
electricity in the realm of fashion as well as
in every other sphere Of modern life. % ~
1t is, therefore, not surprising that dresses
patterned upon some of those worn at the
recent Chantilly races were yesterday adj
mired at the races in Jerome Park. On
both occasions there was a similar display
of silver gray poplins, bee brown velvets,
foulards, crepes de chine and wavy muslins
of great variety of colors-white, rose
leaf, soft green, blushing violets, iris blue,
citron and shell rose black velvets, with
turquoise horseshoes in front very narrow
skirts and petticoats, edged cambria
drawers, atrociously high heeled kid boots,
gilt buttons and other gilt ornaments,
paniers cut like bees wings and wide sleeves
of the favorite Chinese style, Louis XVI. hats
and hats of brown straw, long gauze wells.
clusters of roses and dropping feathers, and
innumerableothe caprices of Dame Fashion.

The funny man of the STANDARD has been
betrayed in the house of his friends thus !:
He loaned a "shirt" to the editor of the

man in the State.-Wa. P9t. a.
We didn't care so much about the shirt,
as we made up our mind to lose that when
we loaned it to Stearnes, but his calling us
the ugliest man in the State we regard as
an insult to the gentlemen with whom we
board. We don't like such twitting upon
facts!
