JUDGE BLACKS LETTER.
How he Game to Give Garfield that Ger
t6cate.
Washington Post.l

Nv dSuiuktOu foSt.l
When the Credit MobIlier lob
was first exposed to the outraged
public, James A. Garfield, of Ohio,
the man of all men, considering his
position. who was the most deeply
involved, went off In q panic to
Judge Jere. Black, always his init
mate friend and frequently his lie.
gal adviser, stated his sad position
and requested some advice as to
what course he should pursue.
Judge Black heard the story pa.
tiently through-he had heard 1t
before, In fact, was the man most
responsible for the expose-apd
then advised Garfield to make o
clean breast Of 1t. "Rise to per-
sonal explanation in the House,
said Judge Black, "candidly admit
that in accepting the stock you
made q terrible mistake; explain
your situation as we'll as you can,
and trust to the generosity of the
House and the country for forgive
ness" Garfield touched, solemnly
promised his counsel that he would
do as he was told, and started for
Washington with that determine
ton. Arriving here, he met Judge
Kelley and others of the implica ted
members and was finally persuaded
to perjure himself out of the
scrape. This he did. It was on
the basis of the conversation with
Garfield that Judge Black wrote
the letter to Speaker Blaine which
has lately been brought forward by
Garfields defenders. When he
discovered the deception that Gar.
held had practiced upon him he de-
sired to withdraw 1t, but it was
then too late.

Of which the leaders Of that super.

Another Fallen Statesman.

Senator Ferry, of Michigan, for
some years past u boarder at the
National Hotel in this city, was
charged by Mr.. Cooper with vari-
Gus interferences in his omestic
affairs, which led him to enter the
Senator's room with big stick in
his hand and hit the Senator q
blow on the head, which sent him
rolling on the floor. Mr.. Cooper's
daughter was one of the attacking
party, and carried a whip which
she would have used upon the Sem
ator IL her papa had not used his
stick SO effectually before she got a
chance to strike. All the details of
the affair have been published,
and Mr.. Ferry's feeble denial has
been met by Il second card from
Mr.. Cooper, In which he init
mates that the Michigan Senator
is u coward and liar. Since then
Mr.. Ferry has made no sign, and
has quietly withdrawn from the
field. Mr.. Ferry is an unmarried
gentleman. and has suffered be-
cause OF this fact. Mr.. Cooper
wanted a Consulship, and Mrs.
Cooper was disposed to help in the
good cause, but Mrs. Cooper finally
grew SO fond of Mr.. Ferry, 1t is
said, that she forgot about the
Consulship. Mr.. Ferry was prob
ably entrapped and victimized.
He ought to have thrashed Mr..
Cooper when he called at his room
and denounced the whole family.
But, . having tamely submitted,
there was nothing for him to do
but to keep still and get out of
town as soon as possible. No pub.
lie man has been in such q humil.
iating position for q long time, and
this affair, coming after the Chris.
tiancy scandal, gives Michigan
rather a heavy load just at this
time. Mr.. Ferry will hardly re-
cover from the effects of this expo.
sure. He is one OF the class of
statesmen who address Sunday
schools at every opportunity, and |
furtively fondle the school teachers
when the exercises are over. He
wanted to be nominated for Vice.
President, but he will pass down
Into oblivion with Mr.. Cooper's
stick suspended over his head. The
story that was given out on the
day that Ferry was hit was that he
had fallen upon the marble steps
at the Capitol and bumped his
head. This story did newspaper
service until the truth came out.
Mr.. Ferry will not be re-
elected a Senator from Michigan,
and he will retire, to private life.
He is q good specimen Of the pre-
tenders, who climb up into high
official station, and remain pre-
lenders to the end. BY mere self

,filcer's chair In the Senate, and
