/ once heard an old dramatist
relate an anecdote, which may. or
may not 6nd its way into print.
As long ago as 17SS or 1883, he
was walking IN The Rue st. Hon
ore with his friend Talma, then,at
the commencement Of his career,
when a young officer in a shabby
lieutensnt's uniform met them and
said to the actor: "Remember to-

JUDAH p. BENJAMIN.

Another great legal light has been ex-
tinguished by death. Yesterday we made
note of the decease Of Mr. 0Conor, to-day
We are called upon to record the loss of
Judah ?. Benjamin. He was one of the
few great lawyers Of this country. He was
less thorough as an analysist than Mr..
OConor, less assiduous and painstalling,
and more of the politician. His politics
he reasoned out as legal propositions, and
by this system of logic he was swept into
the rebellion, as were many other brilliant
men who permitted themselves to indulge
in fallacies upon which the friends of the
Confederate cause based their arguments
for its justification. 1t is very rare indeed
that an American lawyer attempts to
wrestle with the giants of the English bar
on their own ground. But Mr. Benjamin,
after the reverses he met with at home
owing to his intimate connection with the
Confederate Government, having been its
Acknowledgement, Secretary of War and
Secretary Of State-went out to England
and at once took, and to his death main
tanned, a place in the front rank at the
English bar. He was courageous spirit,
and in his practice was noted for the ag-
gre~siyeness of his policy. He was a pro-
found lawyer, but too rigid as a logician
he was far-seeing, deeply read and learned
in the law; a brilliant debater, and an add
vocate Of the highest culture. He was
one of the men whose name, for many
reasons, and all related to his genius, will
retain a specially prominent place in the
history Of this country, to which he was
not born a citizen.

THE PANIC AGAIN.

The indications now are, that while the
New York panic is very extensive and very
harmful, it is largely confined to stock
spectators, and that those banks suffer
only which were involved in stock specu-
lations The failure of these, however
draws down others who were not in the
speculative whirl. There is now lull in
the excitement after second crash, but it
i, not such a check as to indicate early
cessation of the depression. This can
scarcely be looked for for some weeks. 1t
is not possible to speedily restore business
in Wall street to its normal condition after
such an upheaval. The best judgment is
that California will not specially feel the
influence Of the Eastern panic. Fortu-
nately, we have passed the critical stage in
the stock fever. California has had her
day in such gambling, and took the lesson
that resulted well to heart. The business
of this coast is not involved with Wall
street speculations. Agriculture here cannot
be injured seriously by New York finan-
cial panic, and our industries are mainly
independent Of Eastern connections. Our
banks are all on a sound basis and have
no large credits to be sacrificed in New
York; indeed it is said by experts that
100000 would cover all the cash they
have at stake there. There will be de-
mand for coin of our banking houses, but
it will be by firms that are closely related
to Eastern houses, and by investors who
see the opportunity for large rewards for
money at the East just now. In the light
of all the facts we do not believe that the
financial CONFUSION at the East will
materially affect the people of this coast.

of an anti-monopolist, he rendered to mo-
nopoly the eminent service of inaction.
Holding and welding the constitutional
prerogative of regulation and control of
the rates of transportation, he proposed no
measures of regulation, he instituted no
system of control. In his nomination and
election to the office Of Governor he
triumphed over a hostile faction in his
party, and then placed the political power
his success conferred in the hands of that
faction, to be used to give it domination
and ascendancy over his own friends. He
robbed his supporters of the fruits of their
victory, to be the tool of his political enc
mics. Under the pretense of an extraordl-
nary public occasion, he convened session
of the Legislature in the interests of the
political aspirations of his leading political
antagonist and most open political enemy.
He betrayed his trust as chief Executive
of the State by converting the public

DEFORMITY Is THE WRONG SIDE
OF SUBLIMITY."

So great farce as the Hearst-Delmas
extraordinary occasion could not have been
enacted End left no cheek uncrimsoned
with the blush of special, bitter, and unhu-
initiating shame And among those who
have reason 10 feel a deep sense of mortif-
cation, General Stoneman occupies the
place of the most diminutive figure. He
of all Others has the least reason for either
shame or regret In this lie has manifested
a perfect consistency with his entire course
as a soldier, as civilian, as a politician
and AS public officer The session was in
no sense one of his belongings. He did
not invent the extraordinary occasion, He
did not of his own motion issue the pro
clamatiou. He did not write his own
message. He had no purposes or ends or
aims to accomplish, and therefore has suf-
fered no defeat and encountered no disap-
pomtment. His relation with the extra
session harmonizes so perfectly with his
entire record that its symmetry cannot es-
cape the attention of the most casual OBJ
server, or fail to challenge the admiration
of all students of men. The extra session
and pretended extraordinary occasion. and
the high--ounding reasons, enabled General
Stoneman to indulge in that species Of pre-
tense in which he is SO skilled, and to
which he owes all his advancement in poll
teal life. In describing moral monster,
Victor Hugo exclaimed: "Deformity is
the wrong side of sublimity' The poetic
aptness will bear calculation, and will find
in General Stoneman complete amplifca-
ton. In its most exalted aspect, human
ity may rise to such nights and draw 50 far
upwards from the common vision as if to
blend with divinity, There are falschoods
80 broad and so base-so awe-inspiring in
their pre-eminence over other falsehoods-
as to acquire the appearance of being the
premeditated autithesiS of sublime truth,
and thus deformity becomes the wrong
side of Sublimity. Men are great when in
them are conioined those elements and
attributes either for truth or falsehoOd,
whose manifestations are extraordinary
and phenomenal and in this sense
General Stoneman IS phenomenal
man. As soldier he led the
assault upon the ranks marshaled to defend
his own political convictions; while as a
civilian, he cast his political fortunes with
the vanquished and repudiated the victory
his own sword contributed to achieve.
As civilian, he sought to establish the
domination of political ideas which, as a
soldier. he trampled under the iron hoof
of civil war. As figure in the military
history of his country, he stands welding
the sword of national unity; in its civil
history. he stands forth as the apostle OF
State sovereignty, claiming the right to
lead the party of treason to victory be-
cause of the laurels won in the service of
loyalty. He sought to restore by the bal
lot that which he had attempted to de-
stroy by the sword. Whether the politi-
cal convictions he fought to establish as a
soldier, or those he espoused and held as a
civilian, were the real convictions of the
real man, is question which must be rele-
gated TO insoluble doubt. In the disguise
