intellect, rare originality, and wonderful

satire. As Judge his broad mind and
quickncss of perception soon enabled lin
to detect the salient points in masses of

nation was accepted.
He had appointed one relative to an ot-
fee, and though the errors brought to
light did not originate with Lord WEST
BURY, It was thought he ought to have de-
tected them. No personal corruption was
attributed TO him. Lord SELBoRNE says
he has never had the smallest doubt rs to
Lord WEsTDURY's personal purity in re-
gard to those transactions in which he was
thought TO have failed In vigilance. Yet
that unfortunate event was his ruin.
or course his talents could not be spared,
aud IA one of the Law Lords aud rs an
arbitrator he rendered good service after
his retirement. But the shadow always
remained, and his position was far differ

This shows indeed n high staudrrd OF
political virtue, and one which would we'll
nigh seem unattainable in this country.

prived of Office and of power for such an
act, how could the intellectual pigmy Gen.
GRANT be adequately punished for his all

be pursued with the man who bestows
patronage so that oil the family relatives

in tho morning Of July 20. The lesson of
his life is an instructive one, aud it should
not soon be forgotten.
RICHARD BETHEL was born at Bristol,
where his father was physician, in the
year 1900. He was 50 precocious that when
but just fifteen, ana u few months after
matricuatiou, he had gained scholarship
at Wadham College in oxford. In his

out with II lirst-class in the classics and "a
second IN mathematics. Whom he was

soon had practice enough 10 enable him to
give up Wadham fellowship ana marry.

which he successfully defended brought
him many briefs. His practice rapidly in
creased. lie received silk gown in 1910,
and while yet comparatively young
man he became the leader OF the Chancery
bar For twenty years he was retained in
almost every important case in the Chan.
Gerry courts.
He frst entered political life in 1851,
when he was sent to Parliament. He re-
manned in the House of Commons until
called to the upper House.
As Solicitor-Geloml under Lord Aber-
deems Ministry he was of great assistance
in carrying the succession Duty bill; and
when AttOrney-Gencral he was remarka-
bly, successful in Introducing two impor-
tant measures of legal relorm-the Probate
act and the Divorce act. In 1861 the ex-
pccted honor came, and Sir RICHARD BETH

title of Lord w WEsTnUHY. During the three

The nav state aud The BACK Pay.

The substance Of Gen. BuTLrRs fence
OF the back-pay grab amounts to un effort
TO show that those who rctirn {. ne money
are rather bigger rogucs and much bigger
hypocrltes than those who retain it. We
regard his letter on th.s >.AIcct a. an ap-
peal to the people Of Massachusetts, to
make him their Governor.
Massachusetts Is supernne Common
wealth. In everything relating 10 general
education, stern integrity, sound morals,
and the social virtues, II claims TO surpass
all others. since the day tho Puritaus
stepped from The deck of the L,yilower
upon the rock ut Plymouth II has had
famous history. There, in the language OF
RUFUs CHoATE, the Pilgrims founded
church without bishop anl State with
out king. Though doubtless, II we are
10 believe BASC31FT and WuTriEK, the
early settlers were rather hard upon the
Indians and the Quukers, they ueverthe-
less established Harvard University, ana
planted the germs which subsequently
produced Amherst and Williams and tho
theological sem!uarIos at Cambridge,
Andoyer ana Newton.
IN proportion to population, Mlssaehu-
tetts has more counou schools, seuinil-
rios OF learning, ana public libraries than
any other State in the Union. Nearly all
the modern benevolent associations origi-
mated there. Though its area dwiudles by
the side of New York, Pennsylvania, aud
some OF the states over the Allcghauics, il
has more orthodox ministers of the gospel
than any of them, and has sent more ms
sionarics to convert the houtheu IN foreign
lands than all the states lying below Mason
and DiXon's line.
In that great enterprise which has
shaped the politics Of this country for the
last quarter OF century Massachusetts
took the lead There GARRISON issued the
first number Of the Ltberator, there the
first abolition sOCic,y of the modern stamp
was formed, there the first mob was let
loose upon free speech and freedom OF tho
press, and there the earliest triumph for
anti-slayery principles was won.
Now, II is not at MI surprising that such
State should look with pity, not wholly
unmingled with disdain, upon the less en-
liShtened and yirtuous States of the Union.
But in spite Of this superiority, the people
OF tho outlying and less favored portions
OF the republic venture TO ask what Massa-
chusotts proposes TO say TO its members OF
tho last Congress who have taken money
ont OF the national treasury TO which they
had no just title, aud have pcglected TO re-
turn 1t to the place where it belongs.
CHARLES SUMMER and Henry WILSON.
the two Senator's have sent back the
money. But what is TO be said Of the ten
members of the last House They are all
Republicans have all got tho back pay,
and all seem inclined TO keep it.
What II spectacle was that for tie land of
Faneuil Hall.and Bunker Hin when, at the
close OF the Forty-seoond Congress, its ten
representatives, emerging from the West
kate OF the Capitol grounds. locked arms
