The Press and the Bar.

Some time since a communication appeared
in the Springfield, Mass, RepuhlicdH in which
David Dudley Field, Fsq.,a prom inent attorney
in New York city, was severely criticised for
the part he was acting as attorney for Fisk and
Gould, who were engaged in speculations which
were preying upon the rights Of others and
amassing fortunes at the expense OF honesty and
fair-dealing. The publication Of the criticism
referred to, called cut private letter from Mr..
Field, which was responded to by Mr. Samuel
Bowes, editor of the Republican, and the cores
pondence thus opened was continued at great
length and with much ability On both sides, Mr..
BOwles defending the right of the press to COM
ment upon the action OF attorneys IN lending
their professional skill to aid in procuring the
success Of wicked schemes for plunderng pri.
vate individuals or bodies corporate. Mr., Field
states his position very clearly in the following
sentence: "There is but one positive rule on
this subject-namely, that every lawyer must
be absolutely free to serve whomsoever he
pleases and to advocate anything that he sees
fit, without personal censure Of his motives or
his character"
This doctrine, though often adopted and acted
upon by attorneys, is erroneous and only serve
the purpose of those who make willing tools for
bad men. Upon the principle here laid down,
every black smith would be justified in making
tools for burglars and every owner Of stable
could make it PLACE Of refuge for horse
thelves.
We have a case in point. Avery eminent at
torney in Cleveland, acting upon dOctrin laid
down by Mr.. Field. prepared papers for what
is known as the Patent Roofing Company,
giving men engaged in the swindle all the legal
rope that could be used without landing the per-
son at the end of it in the penitentiary and,
armed with these papers, those men traversed
Northwestern and Northern Ohio, swindling
farmers out of large sums OF money escaping un-
punished although frequently arrested and put
upon trial. The attorney who advised these
men was equally guilty with them. Indeed
without his assistance, or the aid Of some othes
equally c0mpetant attorney, they could not have
succeeded 10 this scheme for swindling unsus-
pecting farmers.
The correspondence between Messrs. Bowles
and Field is published in the New York papers
and Is exciting much interest. We nrep leaesd
to see this, for it is time attorneys who act up
on the principle that they are Stree To serve
whoever they please and to advocate anything
that shey sec ct, without personal eensure,
should be made to understand that there is .
dherance between defending criminal and aid
ing bad man to commit a crime. -1oisds Com

Now that the ancient city Of Paris has capit-
ulated, the following history of the fourteen
seiges, from the French correspondent Of the
New Yoik Post, writing from Rouen, whittier he
has been forced to go from Paris, will be Of in
terest TO the observant reader:
The French capital is standi >urteenth
siege, according to a pape N. ned in tue
voluntaire under the title, 81 le.uat nee Merg
| iiur." F.r
The first of these on recoru vas in the year SO
| b. c., when Lutetia, then confined to an island
| ia the Seive, was attacked by the Roman con-
sui Lakienus and the inhabitants abandoning
the defense of the town, burned their houses and
retired to the neighboring hills, where they were
finally vanquished by the superior tactics Of the
| legons.
In A. D. 1853. Childeric I, son Of Merovsno,
| drove out the Romans, after an obstinate siege.
| In 845 the city was taken and pillaged by the
Norlnaus, enticed thither by the riches of the
| capital.
In s56 they again attacked Paris, which was
| burned by its inhabitants.
| Five years later there was another ipcursion
by the freebooters, who, however, found nothing
| worth taking.
| their town, but before the walls were completed
| thirty thousand Normans were encamped before
| them The citzens, however, defended them
| selves manfully for more than year, ana the
| invaders were about to raise the siege when
| Charles the First hoisted white flag and capi-
tulated, signing disgraceful peace which cost
| him his throne.
| In 1858 the Daupbin laid siege to the town,
but was unsuccessful, as was the King of Eng
land in 1859.
In 1920 the English took Paris by assault, and
held it for sixteen years. During this time II
was attacked, in 1927, by Charles VII, who was
repulsed by the garrison.
In l462 the Duke of Burgundy ravaged the
cuu TRY up to the very walls.
| In 1864 the Count of CharOlais invested the
city, and was defeated in several assaults.
Alike unsuccessful was the army Of Charles V,
in 1886.
Under Henry III and Henry VI the city sus-
tanned an ever memorable siege, capitulating,
however, to the soldier Of Navarro, after he had
asjured Professionalism.
Lastly, 1914 it was given up, after brief but
gallant defense, to the allies. Then, as In ev-
| erv preceding instance, treason had much to do
with the surrender of the capital; and this treason
seems to have been confined exclusively to the
middle and upper classes, who contended with
each other for the honor of paying court and
homage to the conquerors. The papers Of 1914
tell of the gallantry Of the workmen and students
at the Barriere de Clichy, and Of their sad ST.
lence as the foreigners marched in triumph
through the streets but they also tell how rib
bons and flowers were shOwered down upon
them in the wealthy quarters of the town, and
how the women ran forward to kiss the hussars
| and Cossacks.

Specials from Washington says the Ways
and Means Committee decided on Wednesday
on the bill repeating the income tax, by FIVE for
and fsur against. 1t WAS reported to the House
and notice given that move would be made on
yesterday morning to have the House 60 into
Committee of the Whole for the purpose OF con-
sidering it. It is believed that the discussion
will be long and bitter. We trust the Opposi
ton to the repeal may win, for there is no tax
levied that is more just than the income tax
in its present shape. The vrulent opposition tc
IT comes from the Eastern capitalists, who most
abound in thai part Of the country.
