LAWYERS OF the Past aud Present.

Colonel Forncy writes:
AS marking the difference bctwcel
the lawyers Of the past and present, ]
heard an aneclotc of John Sergeant
tho other day, which shows how the
giants estimated their professional ser.
vices and by what sensitive and scrllpll.
lo1ls rules they squared their actions.
a distinguished merchant, Still living,
called upon Mr.. Sergeant for his o),in'
ION in an important case, which was
duly prepared and sent by one OF the
students of the great lawyer. Tho
merchant opened the letter, and after
gloncing over it asked the student fol
the charge. He said hc did know the
contents Of it, and could not answer.
The merchant then signed q blank
check, and sent it back To Mr.. Sergeant
by the same hand, with q message that
lie should I'LL it up with the amount OF
his fee. This very student, now one of
the leading members of the Philadel
rhia bar, graphically describes the CT
fects Of the communication. He says
he never saw little man (Mr. Sergeant
was OF slight st;,tlrr) 80 suddenly tow
cr into Il giant. Mr.. ----- entirely mis-.
understood me, sir! Go back to him,
sir, and say ior me that am the last
person living to ill up another mans
check. If he will carefully examine
the paper sent, he will find my fee
written in one OF the corners" With
this somewhat considerable flea in his
ear the youn:r man rctraccd his steps
to the mnrchuut, when the opinion was
carefully inspected, and written i'll very
small letters, in the angle Of one Of the
pages, were the figures "S3O.O0."

Immense Frauds by Government Cot
ton Agents.

Washington dispatch to tho Cincinnati Commercial.
The investigation by the United
States of Claims into the various claims
against the United States for cotton
seized by government officers during
the rebellion, brings out some remark
able developments which tend to throw
additional light ON the mystery which
has surrounded the sale of cotton 10y
government agents shortly after it was
seized from the rebels during the war.
The government realized from this sale
about $50, 900, 900, but the examination
of the government agents books, and
other evidence which has been obtained
through the prosecution Of these claims
reveals the fact that the cotton was
worth over twice that amount 1t ap-
pears that some of the agents at New
York disposed of the cotton at 20 cents
a pound When it's market value at the
time Of the sale was Is cents per pound.
Some of the agents appear to have been
in collusion with the purchasers, and
tho poorest kinds Of cotton were shown
as samples of the entire lot held by the
government, the bidders getting it by
this arrangement, at the low figure Of
20 cents per pound, and subsequently
selling it at the market price, thereby
rcalizing handsome profit. The
claimants, however, refuse to base their
claim at !. figure less than its market
value ut the time of the sale, and 1t IS
feared that the government will, i'll re-
funding the money for these cotton
seizures, be considerable loser, espec-
tally now that the British claimants
stand chance before the mixed com
mission of being allowed some compen'
sation for these losses.
It is now known ut tho Treasury that
several Of these cotton agents dcfraud-
ed the governmcntouto Of large amounts
of money. These accounts show tins,
but what steps there will DO taken to
recover it's just dues, has not been de-
cided upon.

A 500, 600 BOUNTY sWINDLE.

Audit Office tlcrk-A Company Of Sol.
di"rs that Enlisted only On Paper.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2G.--For three
months the Government detectives have
been ON the track of some Southern
bounty swindlcrs, and IL whole nest of
them have been discovered in Tcnncs-
see, having for their leader no less a
parsonage than cx-Congrcssman Stokes
of that State. 1t was also discovered
that these parties worked in collusion
With " responsible party in the Second
Auditors office, named Victor q. Pow
ell, who is an appointce from Ohio.
Powell was at once arrested, and
Stokes was arrested tonight and
placed under $4,000 bail. The
amount involved in this swindlc is $50,
600, and its history is about as follows ::
On the Oath of July, 1870, just prior
to the expiration of his Congressional
term, Stokes in conjunction with other
members Of the Tennessee delegation,
a strong Southern lobby, succeeded in
getting bill through Congress for the
relief of Capt. Beatty and his COM
pany of 102 men, which was designated
as the Tennessee Rangers. It was
claimed that although this was an ir-
regular organization, it rendered effec-
tive service during the war, and was
therefore entitled to the pay, enroll
mcnts, and bounties Of United States
troops 70. the time of it's service, which
was said to extend from June, 1862, to
April, 1865.
The bill provided for the settlement
Of these accounts by the Second AIT
ditor The acc cunts had been nearly
settled, when it was discovered that this
organization simply had all existence
on paper, and chat the government had
been paying moneys to boanty sharks.
Other we'll known politicians are con-
ncctcd with this scheme, whose names
are withheld for the present, but whom
the detectives expect to catch in short

Story OF lie Michigan Fires.

One Allison Weaver had narrow
escape from being roasted alive during
the fires in the north woods of Michi-
gam He WAS employed in IL slinglc
mill, and finding that tho fire was com
ing that way, he determined to stay
and see the thing through. So he dug
himself we'll, filled it with water, and
covered it with iour-inch plankinS,
having saturated the ground around
with water. As ]lc said: "Hc kalkeratcd
it would be tech and so, but it
was the hest he could DO.
When the fire reached the
mill he jumped into his well and drew
the planks together over his head. Tho
smoke poured down upon him, and his
den was so hot that he could hardly
breathe; the planks above him caught
fire, but he put them out by dashing
water on them with his hands; the Wa
ter in which he was standing became
Internationally warm, but he could not
help himself, and ~;Hrl himself by
making observations rs to the progress
of the fire. After it had passed oven
he was obliged to wait tw" days for TIL,
ground to cool, before hc could pick
his way to the nearest village i'll order
to got Something to ea,. Like ''Mr

HrHrye kremcr and John Randolph.
Col. Forrcy writes in his "Ancclotes
of Public Men,
A good story is told of the celebrated
George krcnler, who figured conspicu-
o,,sly during the "bnrgain and sale y
excitement Of forty five years. ago. He
was firmly convinced that Mr. Clay
threw his influence against Gen. Jack
son, by which the electoral vote OF
Kentucky was given to Mr.. Adams, for
consid, ration. John Randolph of
Roanoke dilatrd upon the nccusntion
against Clay to sucl, an extent that The
new Secretary or State was compelled
TO clml;vngc him to mortal combut.
But Go not propose IL chapter on the

happily ignored by the retiring gencr-
alton, and is no longer recalled us Il

Clay. | write simply to revive an incl
dent between Randolph and krcmcr,
characteristic OF both.
After one of the peculiar speeches
Of he eccentric Nirginian, which he
intcrlur,lcu with copious quotations in
Latin and Greek, krclncr rose. and,
in II strain Of wcll-acting Indignation,
poured forth torrent Of Pennsylvania
German upon the head Of the amazed
and startled Randolph. His violent
gcstic'llations, his loud and boistrous
tones, his defiant manner, were not
more annoying to the impcrlous south
crncr t|,,n the fact that he could not
understand a word that was spoken. And
when honest George took his scat, Gov
cred with prcspiration, Randolph rose
and begged the honorable gentleman
from Pennsylvania to cnlightcn the
House and the country by tralslati1S
What he had just uttered

have only to say i'll reply to my friend
from Virginia that when he translates

stantly 1lsing for the benefit Of us co1ln-
