WASHINGTON, March 4 .zAfrs. Gaines mas
sued Caleb Cushing for 5000 600 vIibd on a.
dispatch published in Sundays New Orleans
papers. She quotes the following funny thing
as from the New York W0rEdl:.l @This re-
porter yesterday called on Mr. Cushing and
asked him what he thought about the quasi
charges by Mrs. Gaines against Judge Duren
Ar. Cushing said that his position as counsel
IN the case prevented him from revealing pro
fessional secrets, but he felt at liberty TO state
that he knew OF nothing in DureIls conduct,
in relation 10 Mrs. Gaines that was dishenora-
BILE OF unbefitting an upright man. He won
dered that any importance had been placed In
Mrs Gaines's statement. IL was mistake
that she had any money In her control,
and all her story amounted 10 was this:I
Stone, WHO had no money, told Mrs.
Gaines, who bad no money, that unless
they put their purses together and gave Judge
Durell the money which neither Of them had,
Mrs. Gaines would loose her case. IL they did
not attempt this rather impossible feat there
was no proof that they had offered a bride to
Judge Durell. He would have taken il,
and Mrs, Gaines won her case despite Stones
representation. That bribery was theslaS qaiG
non Of her doing so iscle6F. According 10
Mrs. Gaines, the only guilty person in the
matter Is Stone who proposed purchasing
justice and suborning the Judicial ermine,
Mrs. Gaines's reasoning which induced her to
bring the charges she had made against Du-
rell Is a specimen of womans logic. Mr. Stone
told her 10 bride DureIl; if she had been ina
position to take Stones advice, whiehshe was
not, Dureil would have fallen like another
Adam TO the temptation of another Eve
The only possible sequence was Of, course,
that Dufell was even more guilty Of Inalfea-
sence in office from the fact that he did not
take q bride which was never offered him
than he would have been had he accepted
"
Mrs. Gaines that he, Mr.. Gushing, had also
advised her TO bride Judge Durell they were
entire fabrleations. He never Thought It
necessary nor contemplated any such arrange
ment, and he certainly would never have adj
vlsedly put what she did not possess where It
would DO the most good, - $50
When asked wlIetherhe had been, sor would
be, summoned as a witness in the impeach-
ment Of Judge Durell, Mr.. Cushing expressed
great alarm at the prospect of taking two
days journey TO Washington, but leomfoneA
himself with the assurance that, as his test
mony would be in favor of the Judge, those
who were conducting his impeachment would
take good care that he was kept out of the
way"
