WRITERS AND TALKERs.,-The Balti-
more American says:
"We are apt to imagine that good wri-
tiers are fluent conversationists but this
is not always the case. There was DR..
Blair, whose mind was so chained to his
pen that he was called s'Dr. Speaknome. ,;
Scott was the most genial in conversation,
and the pleasant description Of the author
reading his poems and novels to his family
and their affectionate sympathy is truly
delightful. Dickens, too, was gifted to
speech as well as pen, and perhaps had he
enlivened the home circle with his ge-
MUS his married life might have been hap
pier. Coleridge and Wordsworth were
both great takers, and they professed to
delight in each others society they always
avoided meeting because neither liked to
listen. Contemporary with them was Mr..
Talfourd, Of whom Miss Milford says:
ellis conversation is so glittering, so daz-
zling, that listening to him is like looking
at the sun, it makes ones mind ache with
excessive brilllancy." But he did not pos
sess the secret of pleasant conversation, for
his talk was more like an harangue. HUI
morous and witty people are always de-
lightful company, but those who use sar-
casm are seldom popular. Some writer
says Of sarcasm: cit is All easy talent, fol-
the worst wine makes the best vinegar"
Poor Goldsmith was often the target of the
sarcastic wit of his friends. He once said
to Beauclerk, II am determined to leave
off prescribing for friends' edo so, dear
doctor; whenever you undertake to kill,
let it be your enemies" was the reply.

What Does il Mean?

Saturday last another rcsolut n
came up in The House, providing for
.hc appointment Of n committee to
inquire into The conduct Of Il. +.
Mackcy, Judge Of The Fifth Circu..
The Republicans crpcnlcd earnestly
to The Democrats 10 vote inr the
resolution. The former said that
Mackey was one oft!cir own house

practices, they we're anxious 10 have
him punished. The Democrats
couldn't sec the point, and voted
against the resolution, which had the
effect Of killing 1t. The press from
one end OF the State 10 the other Il;
clamorng for an explanation Of the
votes given By The "high toned gentle
men Of the opposition. We regret
TO say that The members from this
County, with the exception Of Hon.

is not one right thinking man in fifty,

Of Comptroller. General Dunn, these
two transactions aggregated as much
as $4,000. 1t will be observed from
Mr. Car,lozo's testimony that even hc
does not deny the fact Of the payment
otsomc oi'ihc bank claims ont Of other
lcvics and the substitution Of out side
claims i'll their place, to be paid out
OF the levy to pay the claims OF the
bank, and so paid, but that he nt.
Temps to Justify his conduct on the
ground that he had no knowlcdr, Of
the existence Of the printed schcd-
ule, and WAS without dat;, 10 deter
mine the identity of the claimcs.
Even if this would lie an excuse. irit
wcro true, it seems impossible that it
can be true, when it is burnc in mind
that the schedule accompanied the re-
port OF the Senate fin;nc committees
WAS printed and laid on the desks of
members, and IS found published in
full III the reports and resolutions.
iSi3-ii, pages 1O9Gl00S. 1t will
also be observed that, while Mr.. Car.
dozo says lie never heard Of the schc,!.
ulc until recently" lie is directly
contradictcd by Mr.. NIinton, his
clerk, who states that its existence
was not only known 10 'imscIfat The
time OF he passage Of The claim, but
that hc called Tie Trcasurcr's attcn.
ton TO ina, Ii i'm. The claims were
heinz pal,i ii, January and February,
1871. Viewed in any lieht, The
Treasurer is either party in interest
or Il dupc toa nclarinuS transaction
by which The State has lost many
thousand dollars"
Here now is what The Ncws ttnN
Co"'i'r has to say of The comfortable
Treasurer and his knavish conduct:
The Committee charge the State
Treasurer with having been engaged
in acts "not only officially irregular,
but crin'in:llly "lishoncst and cor
rupt." The offence is stated TO be
hat Mr.. Cardozo paid claims Of The
Bank ont ofolhcr TAX lcvics than the
special levy exclusively applicable to
those claims, and that other State
paper, for which no provision had
been made, was paid out Of The special
tax levy for the payment Of the Bank
claims. The conclusion Of ;hc Com
mittce is that the Treasurer is either
q party III interest or Il dure 10 The
nclar'nus transactions by which. the
State has lost many thousand dollars"
These arc serious allegations, and, if
they ar" borne out BY the evidence,
Mr. Cardozo is unqucstionuhly y most
improper person 10 keep The KEYS Of
the Treasury
Taking together What Comptroller
Dunn said against Cardozo last sum
mcr, the report OF The Joint Lcgi<la-
lure Committee, and The apparently
settled conviction Of the Nems on,'
Courier Of his guilt, Tic conclusion is
forced upon Us that Mr.. Cartlozo will
have 10 come down from his hirh

A Dupe or a Knave.

The Committee appointed to in
vcstigatc the failure Of Hardy Solo
mons Fank. presented a report which
shows that there was good deal Of
rascality carried OH through that
institution. Treasurer CardoZo comes
i'll for his share, and is denounced in
round numbers By the committee. He
has enjoyed immunity from criticism
for months now, and il is li.h time
that he should be pulled olt from be

him more before he gets rid or,hcm

Here is Mha: thc report dishes ont
for the Treasurer:
''i'his subject seems pregnant with
mystery, involving not only the off.

The committee appointed to invcs.
t'satc Tic charges against Judge Reed
have reported that they find no cvi-
dcncc of misconduct on his part.
In passing, We note The honorable
difference between the conduct OF
Judge Reed and that Of Judge Mack
cy, while "undcr fire" Judge Reed,
as sosn as there was any talk Of i'll

the sympathetic feelings Of our Char
lesion contemporary; seems to have
lost some of its influence. The Ncms
and Courier thumps the Governor un-
der the chin i'll the following round
about way:
Twice during the past week the
House of Representatives has refused
to appoint u Committee to investigate
the official conduct Of Judge Mackcy.
Zach lime tho resolution for the an
pointment Of IL Committee Of investi
cation was defeated by the Conscr.
v;ltive members. The usual condi-
tions were reversed. a large BODY
Of Radicals were willing that The
charges against Judge NIacllcy, one
OF their own leaders, should be in
qurcd into, i'll order that their truth
or !alschood might be known; n nun
her OF! the Conservative members op-
posed the investigation, and their
votes have, SO far, prevented it. They
surely were Needless Of the terrible
public responsibility which attaches
to any Conservative who Joins the
Radicals in refusing hearing TO re-
81 cctablc Conservative citizens who
accuse Radical Judge OF official mis-.
conduct. The particular charges
need not be considered here. 1t is
sufficient to say that some Of the lead
ing citizens III Judge NIackey's Cir
cult (inciuding Il Committee appoin-
ted ut il mass meeting in I,ancastcr)
accuse Judge Mackcy Of arbitrary
and tyranncal conduct, and Of flag
rant usurpation Of authority. 1t is
asserted that these charges can be
suhslantiatcd, and no member Of the
Legislature is Ounce enough to
believe that there is anything in
Judge Mackey's character, associa
tions or career that makes it unliii civ
that lie s!ond have done that Of
which he is accused. And vet lhc
appointment Of Committee, before
which they can be heard, is denied 10
h!s Conservative accusers!
1t is 4 curious fact that Julne
Mackcy's defenders (and they who
oppose the investigation are Ills de-
Tenders; they may us well sec them
selves as others sec thcm) invariably
assume that lie is guilty, or ut least
that any committee that may bc an
pointed will report against him. If
they really were confident Of hi,
innocence, they would hardly fight
against IN investigation especially us
the investigation would he conducted
by persons Of the same political faith
rs Aiackcy. There is no danger bf i'm :
pcachmcnt if the charges against
Judge Mack,y are all lroth and pre-
jn lice. And if an investigation is
sure TO lead to Impeachment, the
obligation upon tho House ofilfeprc-
scniativcs 10 order the invcstii iati,,n
is heavier still. DO the ICON
scrvalivo members voucIl .or ,hidgc
