Cruebiuv Sarcasm

Chief Justice Spofford, during the
latter part of his official career, was
about ss brusque and biting as man
could be, and in his bitter moods he
was apt to be as ungenerous as he was
sarcastic. When left his own medi-
tations, with nothing to rufiie his tenn.
per, his decisisions were clear ana
compact, and his legal papers patterns
of ornate erudition and moreover, MS
decisions were held as good and suiiici-
ent law of precedent.
Once upon time Spofford was at the
head of the bench holding Court OF
Eouity, and in the case under trial IL
became necessary for an attorney 10
prove the death of certain man. Ihis
attorney was by name Wallington-a
thin.yisaged, nervous, buzzing fellow,
who had the reputation of never
letting go his hold upon case until
he had wrung the last possible dollar
| from it.. ...I
Walliongton produced what he con-
sidered asufficient proof of the death OF
the man in question; but the Judge
4
would not accept it.
"That is no proof at ALL" was Spof'
ford's emphatic remark. SD
The attorney brought forward other
evidences. And still old Spoiford shook
his head.
1t will not do, sir. We cannot accept
that as proof"
"Your Honor cried Wallington'
with much show of vexation, "pardon
me If deem your decision extremely
hard. Why will you not belive me! 1
knew the man we'll to the day OF his
death; saw him dead with my own
my own eyes; and I attended his
1uheraI. was NV client, your
Honor.
"Yo,r client ?" exclaimed Spofford.
"Why in the name of sence and reason
didn't yon state that fact in the first
place? No aoonder he died! We admit
the proof.-Go n,sir."
The Judge probably thought but
. lightly of the sarcasm at the time, but
, it proved crusher for poor Wellington
so much so that he was forced to seek
another field for the exercise of his pro
feSsion.

QUITs.-Old Parson S. of Connecti-
cut, was particular kind of aperson'
One day he had man plowing In his
field, and he went out to SEQ how the
work was going on. Tho ground was
very stony, and every time the plow
struck a stone, the man took occasion 10
swear little.
"Look here" cried Parson ST." you
mustn't swear that way in my field"
swell, / reckon you'd swear too"
said the man, "if you had 10 plow such
stony field as this"
"Not bit of it" said Mr.. S. "Just let
me show you"
So the Parson took hold of the plow,
but he very soon had great troublewilh
the stones. AS stone after stone caught
the plowshare, Mr.. s. calculated. "Well,
/ never saw the likeW and this he re-
peated every time stone stopped his
onward way. When he plowed around
once, he stopped and said to the man;
"There, now! You see can plow with
out swearing"
"But 1 guess it's pretty near as bad
to lie," said the man, sand you told
dozen o. lies. Every time the plow
struck stone, you said, Il never saw
the like when the same thing had
happened the very minute before"

Wanted a Response.

Old Judge W, of -, in the
Old Dominion, is character. He was
frequently lawyer, legislator, judge and
leading politician among the old'timo
Wings, of blessed memory, but, alas
like them, his glory has departed, and
like many others of his confreres he has
gone "where the woodbine twineth."
Notwithstanding the loss Of property,
and the too free use of "apple jack, he
maintained the dignity of ex-judge,
dressed we'll, carried gold headed cane,
and when he had taken more than his
usual allowance of the favorite bever-
age, was very pious, at such times al
ways attending church, and sitting near
the stand as erectly as circumstances
would admit, responded ferveptly.
On one occasion Baptist brother was
holding forth with energy and JUNCTION,
on the evils of the times, and in one OF
his flights exclaimed. "Show me a
drunkard !"
The Judge, rising to his feet, and un-
steadily balancing himself on his cane,
said very solemnly:
"Here 1 am, sir, here l am"
The Elder, though good deal non
plussed by the unexpected response,
managed to go on with his discourse
and soon warming to his work again.

Show me a hypocrite! Show me by

wHar r. SENATOR WILSON !

The question whether Henry Wilson was
q Know N ofhing is now definitely settled
and get ct rest. The cloud of Witnesses
which has arisen to prove this shows how
silly must always be the attempt Of public
man to deny his record. But this question
being disposed of, another one arises, not
less Important IL Senator Wilson's word
good for anything? When first asked by q
friendly correspondent if he had been q
Know Nothing, he wrote wordy and eva
sive letter to prove that, being in favor of
justice to all men it was not likely that he
had ever been in favor of q prosoriptive poll
ey. This naturally called out proofs, and
the case was soon settled beyond doubt.
But in the midst of this rain of proofs .
letter was pabllshed purporting to be writ
ten by him to a committee of Germans in
Brooklyn, denying that he had ever belong
ed to the obnoxious organization. The
amazing effrontery of this denial was
promptly set forth by Mr.. Bird and others !;
and MIR. Wilson, seeing the unfortunate eff
feet Of this letter, pronounced it forgery.
We showed on Monday that the facts pointed
very strongly to MIR. Wilson as the source OF
the letter, aHd We now are able to complete
the inform alton and Justify the references Of
our former article. The letter was written,
as We are informed from responsible source
by Mr.. Herman Askenasy, . Government
ofice holder 10 Boston, friend of Senator
Wilson who frequently assists him In his
German correspondence. Ii was written
with the knowledge and at the request OF
Mr.. Wilson, in answer to the letter OF Mr..
| Frevert and others who wanted their way
made clear to vosing for Grant and Wilson.
Yet Henry Wilson has no more sense OF
responsibility for his words than to call this
letter forgery.
The inclined plane down which he has
sided is evident. He had not courage
enough TO admit that he was a Know-Noth
ing. When asked if he was, he wrote 8
letter which evaded the question and va,
taken for denial. Thereupon his friends
denied the fact. and he did not dare correc
them. The next thing was to request his
amanuensis to write an untruthful letter
and the next, when this brought him intC
trouble, was to call it forgery. Hamlet
Prince of Denmark, said Of something tina
it was las easy as lying" Henry, Senate
of Massachusetts, could testify that there ii

ADDRESS AND RESOLUTIONS
OF THE
Liberal Republican Convention.
held AT
Cincinnati, May 1, 2, and 8.
OFFICIAL COPY.

To the people Of the United States
The administration now in power has
rendered itself guilty of wanton disregard OF
the laws of the land, and of usurping 20 Rers
not granted by the constitution it has act
ed as if the laws had binding force only for
these who are governed, and not for those
who govern. 1t has thus struck blow at
the fundamental principles of constitutional
government and the liberties of the citizen.
The President of the United States has
openly used the powers and opportunities Of
his high Office for the promotion of person
al ends.
He has kept VIGOROUSLY corrupt and
unworthy men in places of power and respon-
sibility, to the detriment of the public inter
ssts.
He has used the public service of the gov
eminent as = machinery Of corruption and
personal influence, and has interfered with
tyranical arrogance in the political affairs oil
states and municipalities.
He has rewarded with influential and lu-
crative ofioies men who had acquired his ia
vor by valuable presents, thus stimulating
the Demonstration of our political life BY his
conspicuous example.
He has shown himself deplorably unsqus
to the task imposed upon han BY the neces
sites of the country, and culpably careless
of the responsibilities of his nigh Office.
The partisans of the administration a.
Stunning to be the Republican party, and con
trolling its organization, have attempted t.
Justify such wrongs and palliate such abuses
10 the end Of maintaining partisan ascend
sncy.
They have stood in the way of necessary
Investigations and indispensable reforms
pretending that NO serious fault could b,
found with the present administration 0
public affairs, thus sesking to blind the eye
Ofthe people.
They have kept alive the passions and re
sentiments of the late war, to use them 70
their own advantage they have resorted /
arbitrary measures in direct conflict wit
the organic law, instead of appealing to tn
better instincts and latent patriotism of th
southern people by restoring to them thes
rights, the enjoyment OF which is indlspeI
