Society In 1868 and 1864 He received common
school education. He was not much OF speaker
during the late session Of the Senate. but was re-
garded as shrcwd worker. Although an out and.
out democrat, he was thoroughly independent in
his votes, and often voted against his political col
leagues to support measures which he deemed to
be right and with which the political compile xion
OF the hackers OF the measures had In his opinion,
nothing to do. The "calculators" who will be GER
| tain to make their slate to the result of the
trial before 1t is half over will be at loss how to
set Cock down on the list One thing Is certain, he
will vote strictly according to the evidence without
regard to politics.

tingnished himself during the late session by never
making or attempting to make speech on any
easy Senator, who trod on nobody's corns manag-
ing to get through the celebrated Brooklyn, which
more frothy legislator would never have been
able to get through so easily Mr. Perry is intense
In his republicanism, and the fact OF Judge Barnard
being democrat, and that the "party" pressure
| demands his conviction, will by no means be lost
upon the Senator from the Second.

business. Originally he was democrat He was
member Of the Board of Education in 1s5l-52, and
OF the first Board OfSuperviSOrS from January 1858,
to December 1863 1t is believed that the Senator's
view OF the Barnard case is such that great deal
or evidence other than that produced by the prose-
cutors VIII be necessary to make him vote for an

Mr.. Tfemann is blunt, outsp0ken man, who gene
rally means just what he says and always says what
lie means, regardless whetierit is friend foe who
is injured or benefited by his frankness. He has
become so imbued with the idea that everybody
connected with public affairs since he was Mayor
or is entitled to gibbetng that he will have TO
be very careful and crush down very strong bias

lS49 and 1850 and OF the State Senate in 1854 and
1853, and County Judge OF Westchester county for
1860; Representative in the Fortieth Congress- Mr..
Robertson is an outand-out republican, who, during
the reform excitement, over and over again told all
he knew about democratic knavery, and it is more
than probable that he will have a hard time of it
when the trial ends to vote without bias.

considered the great flreeater Of the body; for he
never opposed or favored any bill In milk-and,

dercely ridiculous. His political con.r,eres had a

OF the party magnates Without being exactly
orator he Is one OF the most forcible speakers In
the senate; but, OF course, as single member of
the Court lie will be unable 10 .yell defiance" at
anything or anybody as he so often used to in the
Senate. Judge Barnard will have no more impair
tial Juror In his case than Madden, even though he
is OF the fercest kind OF republicans, ana was
during the late session one OF the most inveterate
howlers against the democratic vlainies" in New
York city,
