How the United States Supreme
Court is Opened.
TWashington Star.l


To begin with. there is degree OF dignity
and stately bearing about the court and its
members which permeates even to the most
humble dttochG. There is quiet in the court
room which recalls the Sabbath of the Cove
nanters. When one enters, the involuntary
feeling comes on that the room is set aside
only for the contemplation of the sober side of
life, and woe to him who jbes or Jokes In the
presence of the court. The court is opened
about this fashion. At IL o'clock (noon) the
justices come in from the consulting room and
take their seats on the bench. Away to the
left of the chamber is seen youthful officer,
whose business is to catch the first glimpse of
the advancing judges. Then come three raps
with ponderous gavel by the same officer.
This is meant as signal for the audience to
rise. Then, with the Chief Justice in advance,
the judges enter from the right of the cham
ber. To the rear of the justices seats is an
aisle. In the centre is an arched entrance for
the Chief Justice. Through this aisle the
judges file and take po,ition on the right and
left. None enter until the Chief Justice
emerges from the centre entrance. After all
have filed in, the Chief Justice makes grace
full obeisance to the standing audience. Then
the justices take seats, a stroke of the gavel is
made and the audience seats itself. The OPEN
ing of the court falls upon youthful officer.
1t is after the old English form, "Oh, yea; oh,
yea" etc., and concludes with the words "God
bless the honorable Supreme Court" The
court is now ready for business, ALI the JUS
tees are clad in black silk gowns with an
ecclesiastical cut. In the despatch of business
the Chief Justice is quite expeditions. He is
always ready with reply to question, and

bench assume different attitudes. Justice Mil

A Wonderful Sermon.

We quote from Richard Henry Dana's pa
per in Scribner for November. on the late
President Leonard Woods, of Bowdoin Col
lege:
"Some thirty years ago, it had been an
nounced that President Woods was to preach
in what is now the parish church of the Ad-
vent, in Bowdon street, but was then in the
possession of Congregational society, under
the pastorate of the Rev. DR.. Winslow. The
house was well filled. President Woods spoke
apparently without even notes. He spoke for
nearly an hour and a half, Of warm summer
afternoon, to congregation which had been
used to set their mental chronometers
to twenty or thirty minutes. Yet 1t was
a case of 'Conticuere onaRes, ilteRtique ora
tenebunt' from first to last. There was not
only attention, but an excited growing atten-
tion. His subject was The Delayed Justice of
God, the text being, Because sentence against
an evil work is not executed speedily, there
fore, etc. For his space of time he was the
master of every one in the house, and Dr.
Winslow, in his concluding prayer, was so car
ried away that he entered unconscious
ly upon eulogy on the preacher, in thanking
the Almighty for the great privilege we had
enjoyed that day. AT this time, it was rarely
If ever that preacher of the orthodox sects

than the scriptures; but in this discourse, it
seems that as was said OF Burke, there had
gone out a decree that all the world should

kind. As have said, it is more than twenty.
five years since heard that sermon; but can
repeat, think verbatim, many of its finest pas
sages, and retain clear memory OF its thought
and order. After years happening to speak with
q scholarly and thoughtful man on the subject
of sermons, he said that the best he had ever
heard was one by President Woods, in the old
Westinghouse in Bowdoin street, on the de-
lsyed justice of God, and he proce -ded to de-
scribe it. Again, at New York, at gathering
of men OF letters, the subject of hest sermons
was started, and one of the number, man of
high repute as writer, said that, CHANGING to
be in Boston of a Sunday, some years before,
he went to hear President Woods at Bowdoin
street, and there heard discourse, on the de-
layed justice of God, which had ever remained
in his mind the ideal sermon. Thus the only
three persons know to have heard it, give
1t the first place; and doubt if any intelli-
gent hearer on that day will fall even now, to
acqeiesce in this Judgment"

How Fool Bestowed His Riches.

Some weeks ago well-to-do burgess of vi
emma died, leaving the whole of his property
away from his natural heirs, and to the son of
a retired Austrian general with whom he had
been personally unacquainted during his life
on the sole ground, duly set forth in his will,
that the Christian name Of the young gentle
man in question was identical with his own.
When the legatee, after proving the will, Wis
tied the testators dwelling, accompanied by
legal official, in order to take possession OF the
property bequeathed to him, his attention was
first directed to fire proof safe, as likely re-
pository of securities. Upon opening the safe,
however, it was found TO contain nothing bnt
scraps of money cut up very small, with scis-
sors, and consisting chiefly of old envelopes. A
further search through the rooms, however,
was rewarded by the discovery of bank-notes
to the amount of 10000 fiorins, crumpled up
into ball. and hidden in a corner behind
curtain. Other 10000 forms were presently
found in Photographic album, containing
some two score portraits of pretty women
IN fancy costumes. Behind each one OF
these photographs were concealed bank
notes corresponding in value to the de-

The Gubernatorial Question in
Maine,


Inasmuch as the questions affecting the
Gubernatorial succession in Maine are attract
ing some attention outside OF the State as well
as within its borders, it may be well to briefly
state the important points in the case.
The last Legislature submitted to the people
at the September election, and, of course at
the same election at which the Governor was
voted for, proposition to so amend the Con-
stitution that plurality of votes instead of a
majority, shall elect Governor. The propo-
sition also contained provision, making the
proposed amendment, if adopted, apply to the
election of 1885, In the canvass the Republi-
cans advised the adoption of the proposed
amendment, and the Fusionists opposed it,
and the leaders Of that party went so far as to
declare that even if it were ratified the amend
ment could not TO made to apply to the elec-
tion Of 1880, because it would be retroactive
and consequently unconstitutional. The prop
osition, however, was ratified by majority of
those voting upon the question, and Governor
Davis has issued proclamation declaring that
the proposition has been made part of the
Constitution.
If the Democrats had the counting of the
votes and majority in the Legislature which
could elect their candidate for Governor under
the constitution as it stood before the adoption
of the amendment, they would unquestionably
assume that the amendment did not apply to
the Gubernatorial vote Of $780, and their Leg
stature woald proceed to fill the office in ac-
cordance with the old constitution, regardless
of the size of the plurality of any Republican
candidate. They would never think of sub
mitting the question of the application OF the
amendment to the vote Of 1880 to the Supreme
Court, but would decide it themselves.
If the amendment is held to be In force, 1t is
probable that Gen. Plaisted will be found to
have plurality of the votes and will be de-

according to the New York Tribune, which
remarks: ''The sensible Southern men,

better begin to do it now. Public opinion

mould it. A few brave men can create for

PHILADELpHIA's new literary and polit-
ical weekly, the American, has the follow
ing of interest to say concerning the Maine
question: Who would have expected that
it would be in the State of Maine, that care
lessness in election retur, would again
make the choice of Governor doubtful?
AID yet SO it is. The lesson of their recent
disagreements had so little effect, that If
the Republican Governor and his Council
chose to apply with strictness the rules laid
down by the State laws, Mr.. Plaisted, the
Greenhack and Democratic Governor-elect,
would never be vested with his Office. This,
we are confident, will not be done. The
sound principles laid down by the Supreme
Court in the previous case, and hailed with
Joy by every Republican. should be applied
without hesitation. What the people evil
IDENTIFY meant to have done should be done,
whatever the technical defects in the ex-
preston of their opinion. Indeed, the Re-
publicans cannot afford to do otherwise 1t
is not as if they had suffered, through Gov
ernor Garcelon and his Council, the loss of
the offices to which they had been elected,
and were now taking their revenge. On the
contrary, they were invested with those
offices on the very grounds which they
would be refusing to recognize if they kept
Mr.. Plaisted out of the Governorship. 1t is
not question of magnanimity, it is one of
common decency. Substantially the same
principle applies to the question raised as to
Governor Plaisted's election by a plurality
instead of majority. At the election be-
fore the last their own candidate had a plu-
rality only, and the Legislature, by fusion
of Democrats and Greenbackers, gave the
seat to the candidate of the latter. Against
this they complained loudly. They asked
the people of the State to amend the con-
stitution SO as to provide that plurality
over all should suffice to elect the Governor,
instead of giving the election to the State
Legislature when none has majority. At
the recent election that amendment was
adopted. But the tables are now turned.
A Greenbacker has the plurality, and the
Legislature is Republican. As the election
of Mr.. Plaisted and the adoption of the
amendment were simultaneous acts, the
question is raised whether the former can be
regarded as validated by the later. If
there is room for such fine point, let them
settle it by going through the form of elect
ing Mr.. Plaisted by the Legislature also.
Thus they would be complying with the ex,
preston of the popular will, that the plu-
rality candidate shall be Governor.
