A Dramatic Scene in

A certain lawyer in Lewis
county, KY, was appointed
Judge of the criminal court,
being a much younger man than
had ever before held the office.
He was brilliant, honorable
fellow and sound jurist, thor
oughly competent for his office
except that he drank hard. The
other day, in opening court, he
was so much under the infiu-
ence of liquor as TO be unable
to transact business. The next
day being sober, he came into
court, and in a few manly, di-
rect words acknowledged that
he was a victim to a vice which
had disgraced him. 81 am un-
worthy of the honor and trust
conferred upon me-" he said,
sand, being unworthy Of my Of
flee, I have resigned it. My
judicial integrity and official
acts are blameless, thank God !!
/ am no longer judge Of Lewis
county. May God keep me in
my effort to reform" There
was not q sound in the crowded
court as he spoke. No one
could look at him and not know
that the struggle through which
he had passed before he could
so humiliate himself, was worse
10 bear than death. But there
is no one whose heart would
not warm to an offender who is
man enough to acknowledge his
error. and to go honestly and
humbly to work to regain his
lost place. "When the judge
entered the court" says the pa
per from which we borrow the
story, '.thc public feeling
against him was that of anger
and contempt; but when be
went out, every man there was
his friend, and ready to hold ont
a helping hand to him." We
have faith in the future of a
man who, having fallen, could
thus make firm ground under
his feet for a new path in life.

Our New York Letter.

Our Dramatic Mayor-An Extra
ordinary EndOrsement--An Epi-
sode at NiblO's-Feminine Phi
lanthrOpy.
To the Editor of The Observer /.
New YORK, November 2, 1877.
The dramatic and unexpected
return of a. Oakley Hall this
week is fairly of a piece with
the whole course of our erratic
ex-mayor, ex-actor, lawyer and
politician. When we supposed
he was busy writing briefs or
spicy newspaper paragraphs in
his cosy Office over the Tribune
building, he suddenly drove be-
meath the surface of society and
reappeared under Il changed as
pect and altered name in Lon
don, Then while we were con-
sidering him a fixture in the
English metropolis he again
suddenly disappeared only TO
turn UP Of a sndden-so said
Dame Rumor-at the scat Of
the Russo-Turkish war. And
now, just as his memory begins
to fade from our minds,up jumps
our versatile harlequin, appar-
emily from the depths Of the
Atlantic, with third Here we
are agaiE!' Queer proceedings
these are beyond a doubt, but
his behavior concerning them is
even more odd. When he first
left it was without clue or warm
ing; when he was in London,
he would say nothing even to
his best friends, and denied his
own identity to escape their at
tcntion; and now he says he is
as much at a loss as any one else
to account for the whole affair.
The reason he gives for his re-
turn at this time, is the accusa-
tions Of completely in the Ring
frauds which Tweed has just
renewed against him. 1t will
be remembered that among tie
numerous theories advanced at
the time of his disappearance,
the one most generally credited
was, that he fled from this very
exposure. Mr.. Hall, however,
denies positively that there is
any truth in the charges and
processes readiness to stand a
second trial. Ii viii also be re-
mcmbered that he was tried at
the time of the first Ring suits
and acquitted. Time will prob
ably explain all these mysteries.
We have come at last 10 an
oasis in The desert Of life insu-
rance disaster which the coun-
try has been travelling with va
rying hardships for more than a
year. The New York Life has
Just been emerged from a rigid

Still may each the right pursue,
Swerving for one instanr-hcver
Fer we bid the world adieu.
Meet with courage, demonstrating

For repining, where's the reason?

Fortune may forsake the best.

General Gran. on tho Continent.


The fact that General Grant is named
Ulysses, and that he is making 1.-The grand
tour" has already suggested a classic COM
par;son to the good-natured jokers OF the
obvious. 1t seems too, as though the Gen.
eral had determined to keep up the charac-
ter of the wandering king OF ithaca; for
the heavy English journals, after slowly
lifting their eyebrows to the point
of establishment that Ulysses. the 81
lent could speak at Mi, have found
the word ''wise" to apply to what he did
utter. Indeed, one Of them believed that
the term silent was ironical, and AS proof
quoted from ''hs remarkable speech" that
sentence about fighting it out on certain
line if it took all summer. Perhaps if we
use a society phrase and say that General
Grant has been ''happy" in his re-
cent after-dinner utterances, we shall
come nearer the mark. When there are
certain unpleasant topics that might be
touched on it is "happy" to avoid them at
such times, and when the speaker who
ignores them plunges into platitudes about
common blood and kindred peoples" he
may be called felicitous, when he is only
politely adroit. In England, for instance,
the General kept clear Of blockade runners
was forced before him only touched on that
piratical craft as Il sort Of blessing in dis
guise to both peoples. On the other hand
he was overwhelmingly unctuous in calling
the English our blood relations, making
the glasses dance on the festive board with
the thunderous applause he evoked from
noble lords and lofty commoners.
In Frankfort, however, he had chance to
say 'happy" thing, and our dispatches
inform us that he said it. In Frankfort
they bought our bonds when it was vital
to the nation that our securities should find
purchasers. To DO sure. they made good
thing of it, for they bought them cheap
but England and poor generals had cheap
ened them. Hence it was ''happy' thing
for the soldier who brought our ''boys" and
our bonds ''out Of the Wilderness" the for
mer to Richmond and the latter to par and
beyond, to tell the Frankfurters how well
they had stood by the Union in its darkest
days. There was mnch good German OloOd
spilled in the cause Of the Union, SO that
his hearers at Frankfort were aware that the
General referred to heartstrings as we'll as
purse strings in his compliment to them.
And here it may be remarked that since the
time the Frankfort money monarchs bought
our five-twenties the sense Of pride in Ger
man fraternity has taken enormous strides
even in the free city on the Main which so
reluctantly submitted to absorption into
Prussia alter the war Of 1866. CATER the
toast to the Emperor William" suggests
good deal to those who recall the time when
the German Diet met at Frankfort Here,
again, the General was "happy," for he
said nothing about the blessings of Bis
marck.

Fighting Joseph.
among US

General Towards collision with Joseph's
forces us reported in our dispatches is in
agreeable contrast with the results that we
have become somewhat accustomed to ex-
pect from Indian battles. His loss was not
very great; lie has inflicted severe loss
upon the enemy and driven them from
q position chosen for its defensive
strength. This may be taken, view
ing all recent operations against the
savages, as a very fortunate issue so far as it
goes. 1t is true he was not fighting the
redoubtable Sitting Bull ; but equally true
that he was not tempted into any reckless
expenditure Of his resources by mistaken
conceptions Of his enemies incapacity.
This quiet, effective fighting will very
practically pacify the district. Be-
fore the summer is over it is prob
able that the army may once more
have Sitting Bull on its hands. He is now
beyond the border, where. rs will be seen
by the report, he has been in communication
With the British authorities. They refuse
to sell him ammunition; for there is this
unaccountable want of civilization in Her
Majesty's dominions that the English officers
will not sell powder and ball to be used
in killing English soldiers. They are
perhaps afraid that if they do they will lose
their places. On our side, it is well known,
Indian agents have no such sordid fears.
They know that their places do not depend
upon trifes of that sort, and they
will sell him ammunition no mat
ter who may be killed. Sitting Bull
knows this also, and hence his sedate
reflection that if he could not ''get his
living" in their country he would have to
leave it. BY the way, Sitting Bull could
"get his living" splendidly in circus.
Why does not some menagerie man organize
an expedition to catch him?

The great single scull race between Court
ney and Riley which was to have been rowed
yesterday on Greenwood Lake terminated
unfortunately A large number Of persons
were disappointed, and the question of the
championship really remains unsettled,
although the victory goes nominally to
Riley. There was a suspicion that the
some deleterious drug which had been
administered to him wilfully; but there
does not appear to be sufficient cause for
such suspicion. There can be no doubt
that his sudden attack was real and that he
was not in condition to go into the con-
test But it is more charitable to sup
pose that it was due to natural causes
than that it was brought on through
foul play. A very trifing thing
may throw the system out Of order,
especially when man is in fine training ;
hence the great care observed in the diet Of
those who are thus preparing themselves
for unusual exertions. 1t was not altogether
prudent, probably, for Courtney to drink
iced tea after eating on the day Of the race.
At all events, an accident such as that
which interrupted the race might so
readily occur that it would be wrong
without positive testimony to charge that
it was the result of design either on one
side or the other Besides, Courtney's
friends signifed their readiness to make
another match against Riley Immediately,
and as Riley is prepared to settle the ques-
ton of superiority in a more satisfactory
manner it is difficult to conceive what either
side would make by resorting to trick to
prevent yesterdays race from being rowed
