The Late Rufus ChOate.
Washington Chronicle. |

In his lecture on the late Rufus Choate, Mr..
James T. Fields has presented to the public
as fair and candid review of the brilliant
character of this eminent orator. statesman md
lawyer as his most ardent friend could desire.
He SAYS that Choate was indeed an inspired
orator; that tenderness, power, and magnetic
wonder pervaded him. His voice vibrated
with every sentiment, every impulse Of beauty
and wisdom. He ran over the whole gamut of
musical utterances at will. When he spoke OF
flowers his words seemed to have in them the
perfume Of flowers; and wheh he painted the
ocean, which he loved so fondlv, his tone vas
the scent of the sea when the wind blows the
foam in our faces. AS Churchill said Of Gar
rick: He had, indeed strange power that lie
within the magic circle of his eye
Mr. Fields described Mr.. Choate's haunts
among the law and public libraries of Boston;
his vi ills among books his best companions,
and his appearance in the courts This ac-
cusation of opium eating is treated in
thorough and earnest manner, proof being
adduced from Mr. Choates physician that the
charge preposterous one. The same &C
cusation was made by amateur detectives and
small criticts against Lord Erskine, and was
stamped out by Campbell in his life of the
great English advocate Nobody throws a
stone at a tree chat does not bear frait, says
the wise old proverb, and there are
mean souls in this world who will go
peeping and botanizing and scrutinizing
among the contents even OF private family
medicine chest. Opium-eators can only work
spasmodcally Cnoate toiled fourteen hours
a day habitually. Mr.. Fields speaks very
sharply of these unsympathetic listeners to
Nh Choate's eloquence, who described it as
merely declalnatory. over-worded and over
colored. He said that these same platitudi-
nous people, dwelling all their lives IN the
twilight of the mind, would no doubt quarrel
with the tints in Millions allegro and find
Collins code to the Passions highly i'm
proper. Cut and Carved people, duplicates of
those who have been residing for ages in the
chambers of pyramids, swathed up tight and
contented in ancient gums and spices, were,
Of course, incapable of understanding man
all alive like Choate

The TribuiatiOns of BENJAMIN.

The Boston advertiser never misses an op-
portunity to raise the scanty hair Of Benjamin
+. Butler. few days ago, when the Louisi-
ana difficulties were at their height, Benjamin
made a great war speech to his constituents at
Gloucester, in which the following passage
occurs:

train of cars would allow ME TO. am here row

ogg, then calmly reproducas the above extract
from the doughty warriors speech, and adds the
following brief comment, somewhat erimy:

lucrative field OF service and it is not surprising
that the commander OF our militia should be
anxious to return and

When Jenny Lind was in this country she
once attended the Bethel Church, in Boston,
where the well-remembered Father Taylor
was pastor. The good man, who did not
know that she was present, was requested as
he entered the house to preach on amuse-
nents. The sermon opposed dancing, card.
playing and theatre going, but approved of
music. The preacher paid glowing tribute
to the power of song, and to the goodness.
modesty and charity OF the sweetest Of all
singers, snow lighted on these shores Jen-
ny Lind was leaning forward, and clapped her
hands with delight, when tall person rose on
the pulpit stairs and inquired whether any one
who died at Miss Lind's concerts would go to
Heaven. Disgust and contempt swept across
Father Taylor's face as he glanced at the in
terloper "a Christian will go to Heaven
wherever he dies, and fool will be fool
wherever he is, even if he is on the steps of

A Thin Statement.

An explanation hts been volunteered by
Gov. kellogg of his correspondence upon
financial matters with Caleb Gushing, ben
Butler and other Congressman. He says that
the la.ters published are genuine, but that
thew had no reference to bribery, blackmali
or corruption in any form. In the latter part
of the year 1872 an application was made t,
the Supreme Court of the United States ior II
writ Of prohibition in the case of Kellogg VS..
lIcEnery ct al Kellogg wrote to Gushing,
Butler and Carpenter, retaining them for his
counsel They served him in that cap tclty.
and it was for such service lie paid them
This may satisfy some credulous people. 1t
will not by any many means satisfy the gen
eral public Even if there was n shodow OF
professional legitimacy in the relatous be-
tween Kellogg's check-book and the consider
alton rendered by Butler and Carpenter, we
would still have these latter gentlemen plac-
ing themselves in the position of paid advo-
Gates for a cause which was bound to come
before Congress at an early day. Could they
take one side in the courts and another in
Congress? Their sympathies purchased by
Kellogg in advance, and their brains directed
to the twisting and torturing of every cireum-
stance into his favor, was it reasonable to sup
pose that they might Immediately thereafter
constitute themselves impartial Judges!
The fact that Mr.. Carpenter did not support
kCiIOgg last WINTER III the oeuHle, Dut ldluel
McEnery, by arguing for new election, does
not weaken our point. Whether it was, as
some allege, that Mr.. Carpenter wanted more
money from Kellogg and did not get il, or that
| he is one man among a thousand, wh1 would
not all Nv previous professional engagements to
interfere with his Congressional course, the
conclusion yet remains that such complications
are unfortunate, and may tittingly warrant
grave suspicion.
Perhaps it would be throwing an unjust i'm
putation on William Pitt Kellogg to assume
that the employment of Butler and Carpenter
for counsel was effected with any sinister view
to their subsequent influence in Congress.
Still there ara those who will be apt to look
at it in that light and notwithstand ns all that
Kellogg saws by way of accounting for the
recently discovered correspondence, he does
not wholly remove the ground for suspectins
bribery and corruption. Maybe Mr.: Butler
will address himself to that task and discharge
it more successfully. He cannot afford to
ignore it in the present doubtful state OF his
canvass at Essex.-PiHsb,uy SJspatch (I!ldi-

The address recently published by the Com

cites the g ievances of the people and makes
an explicit revelation OF the actual condition
Of things in that unhappy State which led to
the late revolt, is one OF the most remarkable
documents ever issued to the American peo-
pie. 1t is remarkable because revealing a con-
dition of political oppression which we have
been taught to believe was impossible under
our system of government, and which would
be impossible if the Constitution was observed
and its principles carried out. 1t is true there
is little that is new inethis recital. But it will
serve go3d purpose, if for nothing else than
to show the Northern people how the sover-
eighty of State may be gradually under

triumph over virtue, and into what excesses
