THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE BAR.


At last there seems to be some hope of q
| definite and serious attack upon the corrupt
Judges, who now are the only representatives
| left unhurt of tho broken Ring. The Judiciary
| Committee of the Bar Association have pre-
scented memorial to the Legislature praying
for the action which can alone complete and
confirm the recent victory of the people OF
New York. They ask for the removal OF
Judges Barnard and Cardozo, and their re-
quest is to be taken into immediate and
serious consideration. The Committee ap-
pointed to investigate and report upon the
matter will at once begin their work. The
names of Mr.. Prince and Mr.. Tilden form a
sufficient guaranty that the work will be ably
and thoroughly done.
1t behoOves the gentlemen of the New
York Bar to take care that this opportunity
shall not pass by unimpf6ved. The profess
sion has suffered terribly from the perform
ances of those unjust Judges 1t is not n
mere form of words to say that these men
are destroying the practice of the law in
NewYork. We are informed by several
prominent lawyers that the regular business
of the leading offices in this city has de-
creased from IS to so per cent during the
past year. If this indicated decline of the
litgiOus spirit it would not be a matter to be
regretted by any but lawyers. But the cause
of this falling off in litigation is a most
ominOus and unwholesOme state of public
feeling. A general distrust of the administra-
ton of justice has been for some time grow
ing up among us, and this has gathered
strength and consistency in the recent
campaign against Tammany and its works.
The exposures made by The TRIBUNE of the
gross and shameless perversions of justice
under the rule of the Ring Judges have still
1urtaer intensified the public disgust and sus-
,picion. 1t cannot be denied that the courts of
law in New-York have utterly lost the public
confidence. Men submit to wrong and outrage
from swindlers rather than run the hazard of
falling into the hands of worse roeues. They
will not hire Ring lawyers. They fear that
honest lawyers will have no influence with
Ring Judges. That reliance upon law which
is the only safeguard of republican govern
ment has received serious wound at the
hands of these unfaithful servants of tbe
people.
1t is a matter of the last importance to the
honest and reputable members Of the New
York Bar that they should now throw off their

THE FORCETFUL LEFT.

Out of the tangled web of the Custom-houSe
investigation there is one character, at ica''
which is clearly projected. Col. Leet as
man who is economical. not to say h's-
gardly, of the truth. is too prominent
to escape notice. We have pointed 10
his tergiversations heretofore, and IN
detail but in the testimony of Mr.. Bixby
his first partner in the General Order busl-
ness, there is a remarkable contradiction OIL
Leet's evidence, az well "a notable cor
roboration of that of Mr.. Lindsay. Col. Leet
has been SOLICITORS, from the first, to conceal MS
connections. lie would have us believe that
no is the unsOphisticated and uninfuential
swain who has been seduced into the General
Order business by designing people, who In
sisted on paying him s5,625 per annum' ana
one half of all profits over Slo,oVo each
wear. This plum" he swOre, was given
not for influence for he did not have any,
tbonuh he admitted, in his evidence OF
Jan. cod, that ne waS Gil suihcleptiy
familiar terms with the President to sound
him about the General Order business even
before his Inauguration; also, that the Presi-
dent was anxious enough TO serve him to offer
him the Internal Revenue COllcctorship at
New Orleans, which he declined.
Now, Mr.. Lindsay, in his testimony of Jan.
5, swore that the original contract, or memo
randum of agreement, which formed the basis
of the partnership of Bixby, Leet & Stocking,
was written in his Uindsay's) store by Leet,
and the document. in Leet's handwriting,
was put in evidence. When Leet, on his
first examination, was confronted with
no
only copied it from memorandum made by
Mr.. Lindsay. And now comes Nr. BKDy,
Leet's former partner, and swears very posi-
lively that this was drawn by Col. Leet and
sis the original memorandum and that II
"ras the only one madc.' Here are two
reputable witnesses - Lindsay and Bixby
- against Leet. We do not say that
Col. Leet has committed perjury but it is
very evident that bis memory is not to be
trusted II broke down here as it did before,
when he swOre pOint-blank that he had not
seen Allen N. Leet until he came before his
vision that very hour.
There is no Disgusting the facts. even by false
swearing. Bixby was a stranger to the Collector
and the President he is a Democrat, more
over, as be rejoices to certify; he obtains
the sky, after Leet has drawn up a
memorandum in which it is agreed that
Bixby shall do the work, and Leet shall have
fixed percentage and a contingent share in
the profits. But Bixby had been led to be-
lieve, somehow, that Leet was mighty man
in Washington. Indeed, he supposed, he says,
that the Colonel was one of the Presidents
relatives, and when he came to Bixby.

Col. Leet swears that he had no influence !"
that he got the plum by happy cOmbina-

Pertinent to Custom-house investigations in
New Orleans, we have souvenir of the reign
in that city of Perry Fuller of unsavory
memory. 1t appears that that honest gentle
man was anxious that Casey should be ap-
pointed in his place, as Collector OF the por''
and SO wrote to Washington urging his selec-
ton. This curiosity of political literature
printed in our Washington dispatches may
furnish n cline to future Investigations.

New Market Items,

Fifty years ago Gen. Brazelton went to Balti-
more to lay in q stock of goods to sell here.
This place was then called "Tuckertown." He
billed his goods to New Market" That's all

The National Camp Meeting will be repre-
sented by about fifteen families from this place.
Jefferson county takes near seven tents.
The organ in the Presbyterian Church was
so badly damaged by mice last week that Mr..

Mr.. Dice, who lives here, has around his

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN MEMPHIS.

Half Block Burned-Loss $500, 900.
The Memphis Avalanche of the 9th
gives an account of Obstructive fire which
occurred in that city on Sunday morning,
by which half block of buildings in the
centre of the city was consumed. @
The fire originated in shoemaker's
shop, No. 40 Union street, and
when discovered had gained great
headway. The fire department was
on the ground promptly, but it was not
until enormous loss of property had en-
sued that the flames were gotten under
control. t.-r.., ~ ..,,-...
The heaviest loss is that of w. s. Bruce
& Co., carriage manufacturers, which will
reach S120, 900, which is partially covered
by an insurance of $4,000. The other
losses fall on about twenty others, ranging
from $40, 600 down to $3.50. The total net
loss over insurance is $3.50, 900. This is the
greatest fire that has occurred in Memphis
since 1861. ,,f .,..- -.---. g.. -..... .s -----

SALT LAKE, Sept. 10.-General Morrow
returned from the South late last night,
Troops still remain at the scene of the In
dian troubles. At the council with the
hostile chiefs in San Pete county, the In
dians positively refused to return to their
reservation. They said they had left it
because they were starving. They thought
they might as well be killed by soldiers,
and that the agents they sent were liars
and thieves. General Morrow notified
them that they must return, promising to
give them food Oh the way and full sup
plies at the reservation. The chief finally
consented, but said he would return to rail-
ly, if notified. General Morrow reports a
reign of terror in San Pete county. The
people were wholly at the mercy of the
savages, and the arrival of troops was
hailed with tears of joy. If the Indians
are now properly cared for at the reserva-
ton, there will be no more trouble; if not,
war must come.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: In reviewing
briefly the list of premiums offered fol-
competition at the coming fair, of the East
Tennessee Agricultural Society, and com
pairing the same with those heretofore Of
fered, we should not do justice to our feel
ings did we not express our thanks, and
show those whom we know have labored
SO assiduously in bringing about this happy
result that their toll is appreciated by
those in whose interest it has been per-
formed. The whole thing" as exhibit
ed in the pamphlet which you have so
neatly gotten up, is worthy of all praise.
Permit me here to invite especial attention
to the special premiums offered by r. S.
Payne 6 Co. IF (as we hopel the object
of all these premiums is the advancement
of agriculture in East Tennessee, these
t,Uo certainly point in the right direction.
1 would like to have them include grass as
well as clover. The poverty of our soil can
be attributed to nothing but exhaustion
from over-cropping, improper tillage and
lack of manure. We may be assured of
one thing: if our lands are to be made
profitable, they must be enriched. Nor is
$his to be..accomplisbed in month, nor in
q year. Our whole system of farming

ceal the patent truth, viz: that our farm
ing, as at present carried on, is not profta-
BILE. Our lands must be sown in clover and
grass, not to be neglected to maintain a
doubtful contest with weeds and sprouts,
but to he protected and cared for. In
short, our grass crop must be first in our
estimation, and then it will be first in point
of profit. The difficulty is here: We un-
dertake too much work for the amount of
help we employ, and then, as q matter of
course, something must be neglected; and
what shall it be? Certainly not the wheat,
for that is to be sold for money; nor the
corn, for that, too, will bring money. But
there's the hay; if it does get over ripe the
horses and cattle will eat it, or at least
enough of it to live through the winter.
Who of us have not read the above reason
ing, during the past summer, on many
meadow, neglected until the hay had
turned to worthless woody fibre, and the
meadow much injured by exhaustion in
ripening seed. And we shall read it again
during the coming winter and spring, in
the downcast look and staring coat of the
poor animals condemned to subsist on such
miserable fodder. Brother farmers, let's
get out of this rut and see if we can not i'm
prove our system of farming. .t
