Archbishop Spalding and Politics.
From the New York Herald.l l6a 8i lHaJ
Archbishop Spalding never took any
part in the great political struggles that
have agitated the country. Like his
predecessor, the lamented Kenrick, he
never cast a vote in his life. His SYM
pathies were with the land of his birth
and his ancestry; but never, even in the
sanctity Of closest friendship, did he
disclose his sentimental He even main
tanned the opinion that the church should
under no circumstances become en-
tangled with the questions of the day,
and Mr.. Stewards alleged representa-
tons to the Pope that he was disloyal
and not acceptable to the government
as Archbishop of Baltimore were gra-
tuitous, insulting, and manufactured out
of whole cloth.a On one occasion during
the war between the North and South,
Archbishop Kenrick, appalled,. by the
encroachments of the military and the
threats that were freely made against
the Cathedral determined to issue a
pastoral, defining the position of the.
church upon the question which so fear
fully agitated the public mind. His
intention was confded to Bishop Spald-
ing, who unhesitatingly condemned it,
and so clearly pointed out the impropri-
ETY. of the step that it was forthwith
abandoned. Bishop Spalding told the
Archbishop that he thought the people
themselves we're the best judges of their
political CONVICTIONS, and they alone
were responsible for the actions result
ing from their convictions. As soon as
peace had spread her healing wings over
the discords and dissensions of the re-
public, and the emancipation and en-
franehisement of the blacks had become
a fixed fact, the Archbishop bent all the
energies of his great mind to the task of
improving this class of our population,
and fitting them, both mentally and re-
ligiously, for the new duties Congress
had assigned them. The aourishing |
Catholic colored schools throughout his
diocese attest his well directed efforts.

During this interview with the African

dispute was this: The one had bought

same Ola speech.

Elisha Williams, of Columbia county,
New York, was most graceful speaker,
and his voice, particularly in its pathetic
turns, was melody itself.
All who remember Ogden Hogman's 3
voice (he was called 8"the flute Y by his
fellow members of the bar of New York.,
can appreciate the mellifiuons oratory
of Mr.. Williams. ,,r,e
| His power over a jury was astonish-
| ing. ssi4r oi n9iN9gga ilimHt9 Q D
He swayed them as with the wand of
an enchantress; and it was very seldom
he failed to secure a verdict for his CLIENT
but on one occasion he did it in such q
ridiculous manner that a crowded court
and grave judges on the bench were CON
yulsed with laughter at the burlesque Of
the result. .
he was completely discounted by an
ignorant, impudent, unlettered pettifog-
ger, who knew no law, but somehow or
other had the credit of shrewdness, and
1.-The reputation among his neighbers of
being hard to beat.

an act of selfmnrder. iigsa3 9lsW
Mr., Williams, of course, on the ground

defense. i4l
| His peroration was exceedingly touch

you can find the unhappy prisoner at
the bar guilty of the crime with which he
is charged, after the adverse and ire
fragible arguments which have thus
laid out before you, pronounce your YER

The effect of these closing words of
the great legal orator was at first thrill
ing; and by and by the. pettifogger, who
had volunteered to follow the prosecu
ting attorney arose and said: - enfiiiI
iGentlemen Of the jury, should de-
spair after the weeping speech that has
been made to you by Mr.. Williams, of
saying anything to do away with his elo-
quence.8 | never heard Mr.. Williams
speak that piece of his n better than he
spoke it Just now. Once | heard him
speak it in the case Of stealing down, on
Schagtieoke; then he spoke it ag'n in
the case of the rape up to Epsopus, and
the last time / heard it before jest now,
was when them niggers was tried-and
convicted, too, they was-for robbing

The jury looked at one another, whis-
pered together, and our pettifoger saw
at once that he had got them.ya '1

brief remark
