of the greatest Of celebrated cases,-the trlnl
of Queen CAROLINE: who can give the names
of the great lawyers who plead for the In
jured Queen?
There are three main reasons for this curl
ous state of affairs. First, the ablest lawyer
does not originate. He creates nothing, and
creation is what the world remembers,
whether it be the act of God or genius. He
is obliged to condne himself to precedents,-
to simply apply cut-and-dried rules to new
set Of circumstances or to the repetition of
m old set This is SO true that the rigidity
of the law is becoming serious difficulty.
The transcendent authority Of chancery no
longer exists. Equity and Common-Law
Courts are equally fettered by precedents.
The fact is fatal to any effort at creative
originality. In the second place, nearly all
lawyers time is spent on matters Of merely
passing INTEREST," AAA O4tCA ~ eA4o A4Sos ~SAA0

body but the persons directly concerned pays
any heed to the almost matchless genius and
learning that may be lavished on SMITHS
complaint or JONES defense. Thirdly, there
is certain prejudiced popular feeling for the
legal profession, which crops out continually
in books, newspapers, and conversation The
moral tone and standard Of honor Of the legal
guild is considered to be much lower than it
really is, and this prevents, to some degree,
the recognition Of its great men.
For reasons such as these, the fate OF the
lawyer is oblivion. The successful author,
artist, poet, romancer, inventor, discoverer.

There is great force and truth in this state
ment- And yet, the causes being clearly ap-
parent, what is the 1emedy2 Are we seek
ing any remedy7 Are the churches and re-
Igions newspapers doing their duty in the
premises? Are the moralists suggesting any
remedy? Or have all those whose duty it is
TO elevate public morality given up the case
as hopeless? Corruption is everywhere, both
public and private. It has even undermined
the temple of justice itself, and soiled the
portals of the church with its Shiny fingers.
No man can feel himself assured in his per-
sonal or public rights When juries arc packed
and Judges are corrupted, when City and
County Boards, and Legislatures, and even
congressman, have their prices when
Rings mercilcssly bleed the people
and heap illegal and e1tortionate taxes
upon them; when political partisanship in
yades our highest courts and colors their de-
cisions; when men of high position, who
have reached the serene dignity Of old age,
are willing in one desperate moment to sacri-
fee the honor, and character, and good name,
and influence which they have earned in
lifetime of toil,-have VIC not reached con-
dition that is franght with dreadful danger to
our form of government? Are we not rapid

between an iron code of law and revolution

THE LOT OF TIE LAWYER.

The records of our colleges show that a
very large proportion of their graduates
study Inv. Three-fourths of the class Of
1870 at Yale did so. This was perhaps an ex-
treme case, but the percentage is always q
surprising one. Even after the necessary
deductions have been made for the men who
study with no idea Of subsequent practice,
and for those who enter the profession
merely as q stepping to politics, loan
business, ETC., the number of actual lawyers
is still very great. Yet, Of all professions, it
offers perhaps the least opportunity for en-
during fame. The statement may surprise
somebody, but that somebody can find
few facts with which to combat it.
VIII he try to name half dozen,
three, two, eminent lawyers, whose fame, as
such, has lasted century? Even if he is q
lawyer himself, he will be troubled to do it.
It is true that few, very few, men, acquire
in any pursuit such q fame. but yet many
men are honorably remembered in their own
professions, even when forgotten outside Of
them. Ministers remember divines; doctors,
physicians; actors. novelists, historians, poets,
painters, and journalists, all remember
men Of their respective professions. Law
yers do not remember lawyers. Those
Of the profession who gain somewhat Of i'm
mortality do go by virtue OF being Judges,
statesmen, authors, and artists. E1pos is
an example Of the first class, WEBSTER
of the second, CoRE, B1AoKsToNE, KENT, and
Story of the third, while BACON belongs to all
three. ERsKEE is almost the only example
Of an enduring fame won by an advocate; and
how many Americans, or, for that matter,
EngGshnen, know who ERsKrn was? Oc-

agencies report that the farmers have been
prompt in payment of interest, and have
paid of vast amounts Of natured mortgages
Applications for renewal of farm mortgages
have been few, and these mostly for re-
duced sums. The amount Of new mortgages,
as compared with previous years, has been
much reduced. AL this indicates de-
gree Of prosperity through the agricultural
districts, and the acquisition Of wealth,
which promises steady increase of produc-
ton and of trade. To the extent that agr1-
culture is carried On On creait,-on borrowed
money at high rates of interest, there IS an
element of uncertainty and of waste, inter-
fering sadly with profit. But as this interest
becomes free of credit when the land and a1
there is upon it is the property of the man
occupying it, free of incumbrance, and he is
entitled to all the increase and profit, then
there is improved farming; thrift and en-
terprise take the place Of waste and careless
ness production is increased, profits accumu-
late, and wealth takes permanent form. In
this way the interior country of which Chi
cago is the centre is daily becoming richer
in accumulated wealth, freer from debt, has
more to sell, and mora means with which to
purchase. Chicago is especially interested in
this rapid Improvement Of the financial con-
dition Of her customers. Their prosperity is
her prosperity. In the view Of an early
resumption Of cheap navigation and an early
and favorable season for labor and production,
there is every reason to anticipate even an
enlarged increase and activity in all branches
Of industry, with an equally increased vol
ume of wholesale trade.

WINGED WEALTH.

CHARLES DICKENS strung tho story OF
"Bleak House On the thread OF the great
chancery suit Of Jarndyce rs. Jarndyce, in
which the estate was so thoroughly "put in
chancery," in prize-ring parlance, that it
finally vanished quite away, absorbed in legal
fees, costs, etc. The lawyers laughed mer-
rily over this humorous issue of years of
weary waiting, Of hopes and fears, and the
beggared heirs went sadly away. Jarndyce
Us. Jarndyce set precedent that has been
often followed since. When an estate is
stranded, like great hulk, in q courtroom,
myriad barnacles fasten upon it, and it is
fortunate if it ever gets at1oat again.
Tho legal records of the estate Of
the late IL O. WALLER, of this
city, seem to show that the dead man's lands
and moneys are wasting away, quito in the
Jarndyce fashion. When his will Was fled in

nothingness, and the realty is 1ncumbered

THE COTTON PROBLRm.

The people of South Carolina and
Georgia are comparing notes, in order
TO arrive at some plan by which the
raising of cotton can he made profitable,
instead Of entaillng upon the farmer an
actual loss. If the planters will unite
and act In concert, they can accomplish
something. In regard to the proposition
to produce less cotton, the Charleston
Courier and NssOs says: "The order of
Patrons OF Husbsndry, for example, has
been unable, with its huge memUt rship
and compact organization, to accomplish
That reduction OF the cotton crop to three
million five hundred thousand bales,
which will insure the producers re-
muheIatiVe prices, or, at least, save
them from the loss coHse quent upon ex-
cessiVe production in times when trade
is stsgnsnt and the consumption of the
staple diminishing. And the fear is that

State conventions, will be even less eff
