Mr.. Hayes Letter to the Attorney
General.

Several days have elapsed since the state
mcnt was made by several well-informcd
Washington correspondents OF different
journals that Mr. HAYES had addressed u
letter to the Attorney General un the sub
joct Of the Louisiana prosecutions There
Is no reason to doubt the report in which ~
many agreed The character of the letter
waA commented CA 10y some OF thcee CORE
spondouts in such n manner as to Indicate
that they had seen the document or had
been particularly told about its contents.
Yet the text II the letter has not been
brought Ia light. 1t IL time it should be.
The public would like to scc IL. The tone Uf
the letter was sai b. he mild, Mr.. SHERMAN
and others Of the visiting statesmen IL was
said. wanted some .hlil.: stronger. They de-
fnand"l, IN n somcwnrt Icrcnptury man
yer. II We may credit the reports that the
Occupant OF the Office II President should
write stronger letter.
We do rot learn that Mr.. HAYES has com
piled with these demands. II il hardly
nee, +.sary that hc should. The letter which
"" assume he has already written, must Toe

dcut, or Acting President. OF the United

In this cas-, it l. the business OF MIR. HAYES
because the forgery of which the prieoner
was convicted is part of the forgery ON
which his title 10 the Office Of President
rests. II cannot he his business for any
other reason. Any letter which Mr. HAYES
has written on the subject must go Ia con

having written such letter at ell goes u

No bargain And Yet the Bargain
Ilrokcni

The republicans protest most earnestly
that Mr.. HAYES did not come into the Presi-
dcncy M the result ~ any bargain. They
SAY no bargain wac made.
Then what doce Mr.. EUGENE HAI.E's
Tuesday, meanf Mr.. HALE says that Mr..
HAYES has sccn that "plighted support and
pledged return for generosity have been for
fclted" Plightcd and pledged that is pref
ty strong language. Bargained would not be
any stronger. Mutual promises are legal
consideration. and constitute a bargain.
Gcnerosityp' exclaims Mr.. HALE Now.
generosity implies gifts Of some kind. There
wore plightings and pledges on one side
then, and gifts on the other. II that does
not make out bargain, will Mr.. HALE, who,
we believe, Ia a lawyer, tell ue what does
What we're the promises that were made
Among them Mr. HALE mentions one. Tho
Legislature and Gov NICHOLS" he says,
Z" had promised u pardon for all political Of
fences" Again he cites certain evidence as
proving that there wds compact thai there
should BE- no political prosecutions "a LOUIS
iano"
Mr. HALE insists that this compact has
been broken. How has it been broken2 He
maintains by the prosecute of ASDERsoN
He asserts that prosecution To have been

sense can 1t bc regarded IA political; and IN
this sense perhaps IL may properly pe NJ

but as the forgery was of the election re-
turns which went 10 make HAYES President
it may, for that reason. be adjudged rs em-
phatically political. and as included in the
"compact" alleged by Mr.. HALE. In this
view the compact has been violated. Now,
what is to be said Of the parties who en-
tered into such a compact What is to I've
done with especially considering that
one OF them is acting as President OF the

The Office of District Judge.

The Office Of District Judge of the United
States for the southern District of New
York will become vacant when Judge
LLATCHFORD, who now holds il, is sworn in
a. Circuit Judge for the Second Circuit,
comprising the States % New York, Yer
mont, and Connecticut. There are under
stood to be many aspirants for the post
which Judge BLATcHFoRD has 80 long and
honorably occupied. The names that have
been mentioned indicate that the candidates
are OF very various degrees Of merit.
We doubt whether any appointment would
give more satisfaction to the bar than that
of Mr.. WILLIAM q. CHOArE, who has been
much spoken of for the place. Ii not 50 gem
orally known Ia the public as his accom-
plshcd brother he is regarded in the legal
profession not only as good lawyer, but as
one whose mind is Enthusiastically judicial
We are informed, however, that MIR. CHOATE
is avcrse 30 accepting the office with its
present excessive burden of duties.
1t is an exceedingly long step from Mr.
CHoATE to the Hon. WILLIAM WARE PECK
formerly Of this city, but now Associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court Of the Terri
tory of Wyoming. We believe the Judicial
circuit assigned to him under the Terrific
rial laws is inhabited solely by wild AMI
mails. 1t was changed after his appoint
mcnt as Judge, so as To divcst him of most
of his jurisdiction over human beings. Will

And inasmuch rs he friend aud former

We learn that Mr. GEORGE +. Belts, TN
present clerk Of the District Court is ais
candidate and one with many friends
The general eXpodency OF promoting clerk
to the bench may Doe doubted, for it IN
qucstionably would tend TO lower the dig

The dislike which prudent men usually
have Of doing business with women or for
woucn, will not Ice leSaened by the proceed
ings which Mrs. ELIZABETH MCCALL has
just taken against her agent, JAMES LoRIMEH
GRAHAM. Mrs. MCCALL Is Il widow, who,
twenty years ago having inherited
considerable estate from her husband, en-
pl"yed MI GRAHAM 10 manage it for her
Mr.. GRAHAM being Of n sangunc, spccu-
lativc turn II mind, invested the property in
unlucky enterprises, so that nearly the
whole Of it has been lost His own money,
which was embarked in the same cutor-
prisos, has likewise disappeared. Now, Mrs.
MCCALL gets cut an order Of arrest against
him us a dclautcr, and he has had to give
bail to avoid being sent to prison
We are by no means inclined TO take Dir.
GRAliAM's part in this affair. Accounting at
true his assertion that tine disposition
which he made Of Mrs. MCCAlI's property
was consented to, If not requested by her,
he showed a lamentable want oi Judgment
in his dealings with her man Of his age
and experience ought Ia have known that
if the proposed investments proved profit
able, he would get no thanks; and that
If hey resulted in loss, Ms they have done,
ho was sure u be blamed. But this does
not Justify Mrs. MCCALL in turning upon
him, and treating him as a dciaultcr He
was not the executor of her husbands WILL
nor the trustee Of her property lie was
her own voluntarily chosen agent, and that
he has proved wanting IL wisdom only con-
victs her of bad Judgment herself in select
ing such a poor manager She cannot get
the money lack by putting him in jail, and
the annoyance and vcXatlon to which she
subjects him, can serve no purpose but to
crafty a feeling Of spite.
We trust, however, that Mr.. GRAHAM's
ease may be turned 60 account by othcrmon

! his experience what is the result Of yielding
