THEMTDNTGHT JUDGES.

In the Domestic Life of Jefferson, pre-
pared by his great granddaughter, Sarah n.
Randolph, is an account of the Midnight
Judges, which illustrates the bitterness
that existed between the Federalists and Re-
publicans Gas party divisions were then de-
nominated) during the campaign which re-
suited in Jeffersons first election to the
Presidency.
Just at the close of Adams administration
law was hurried through congress by the
Federalists increasing the number Of United
States courts, throughout the states. AT that
time at II o'clock on the night of the Sd OF
March was the magical hour when one adj
ministration passed out and another came in.
The law was passed at such q late hour that,
though the appointments for the new judges
created by it had been previously selected,
yet the commissions had no tbecn issued from
the department of state Chief Justice Mar
shall, who was then acting secretary of state
was busily engaged filing out
their commissions, that the offices might
be filled with Federal appointments,
while the outgoing administration was still
in power. The whole proceeding was known
to jefferson. He considered the law uncon-
stitutional and acted in the premises with his
usual boldness and decision.
Having chosen Levi Lincoln as his Attor-
ney General, he gave him his watch and
ordered him to go at midnight and take pos
session of the State Department. and not al
low single paper to be removed from it
after that hour. Mr.. Lincoln accordingly
entered Judge Marshalls office at the ap-
pointed time. 81 have been ordered by Mr..
Jefferson" he said to the Judge, ''to take
possession of this Office and the papers,
''Why, Mr.. Jefferson has not yet qualified, i"
exclaimed the astonished Chief Justice.
''Mr Jefferson considers himself in the light
of an executor, bound to take care of the
papers of the Government until he is duly
qualified, - was the reply. "But it is not yet
II O'clock" said Judge Marshall, taking out
his watch. Mr.. Lincoln pulled out his watch
showing it to him said, ''This is the Presi-
dents watch and rules the hour.''
Judge Marshall could make no appeal from
this, and was forced to retire, casting a fare
well look upon the commissions lying on
the table before him. In after years he used
to laugh, and say he had been allowed to pick
nothing up but his hat. He had however,
one or two of the commissions in his pocket,
and the gentlemen who received them were
called thereafter, "John Adams midnight
Judges"

CULCHAW IN CHICAGO.

The apostle of sweetness and light has
been heard from through the columns of the
English press, and his first broadside has
been directed at Chicago. The result of it
is likely to be destructive, in fact, annihila-
tive. What Mr.. Matthew Arnold has said of
that city and of its people has had all the
effect of an explosion of dynamite. The
city is in ruins, in moral sense, and the peo-
pie are in tears in an actual sense. He
charges that the citizens of that great
pork and beef packing centre
have in the main no culture
at all, and that in few special cases there Is
some, but it is very thin veneer, over a
solid basis of Philistinism. He has no doubt
that when the people are in the churches lis
tening to the clergy, they are engaged in
mental calculations concerning timed meats
and packed pork. One very cultured person
with whom he spoke did not know of Her
bert Spencer of England, but supposed the
allusion made by Arnold to that person to
refer to hardware firm in Chicago. Another
person of culture took work by Edwin Ar
mold as being the product of Matthew Arnold,
and also committed the frightful blunder of
installing him for the author of Tom Brown
at Rugby.
Mr.. Arnold was furthermore all torn up
by finding that upon asking large number
of cultivated people if they had read 'Ober-
man" but one of them had never heard the
name, and this one supposed the name
had reference to chemist doing business
in Chicago. Mr.. Arnold heard Chicago's
most famous preacher, the one who is re-
garded as the very embodiment of culture,
| and found that his discourse was dreary
waste of unctuous commonplace, of diluted
rhetoric, and of judgments ludicrously
misconceiVed.
1t may be true that there is lack of Gull
ture in Chicago, but the difficulty lies in the
fact that people do not suspect it. They are
wealthy, many of them, and they fancy that
they have taste because they have fine houses,
expensive pictures, and costly decorations
1t is in the hands of some of these people
who have lately become wealthy from pork
packing, and the slaughtering of cattle, that
Arnold fell. This class usurps to itself all
the qualities of what is termed society, and it
is from association with its members that
Arnold obtained his conclusions as to the
character of Chicago as a center of culture.
Many of the leaders of society in Chicago can
barely spell their own names, and have prob
ably never read through book in their lives.
They, with an insolent haste, seize upon
every celebrity who visits their city and it is
from their ignorance, their vulgar display,
and ostentatious hospitality that t he guest
obtains his opinion of the city and its people.
Arnold himself is snob of the snobbiest
kind. He is surprised to learn that very
clever paper which he heard read
was the product of man engaged in the
grocery business. But snob as he is, his

THE DANVILLE CASE.
A Republican Shows that the Admin
istratiOn Gave Money to Sup
port Malone Against the
Republicans.

WASHINGTON, March Tex Congressman
Desendoof, Norfolk, Va, was examined by
the Danville committee to-day He was the
regular Republican candidate in his district
for the present congress.
He was asked by Senator Vance to tell
what he knew of drawing the color line the
last canvass, and who drew it.
He said, while he believed that of the col
ored vote of Virginia, nine hundred and
ninety-nine out Of every thousand, would
vote the regular Republican ticket, if left to
exercise their own voition, vet
since the advent of General Malone
as the controlling power, the colored vote has
been manipulated and controlled TO greater
extent than ever, even going so far as send
ing out circulars purporting to be signed by
the president of the United States, saving he
wished them to support the readiuster ticket.
Witness believed there had been more per-
secution to the Republicans by Malone than
there had been just after the reconstruction
by the Bourbon Democratic party, and ex-
pressed the opinion of the Republicans of
the north, and if the senate had stood by the
Republicans in Virginia, they would have
had two white men where Senator Malone
had only one. The witness did
not think that Malone could hold
his party together fifteen minutes if it were
not for the support of the administration.
Sherman said to witness: 'sYou CONF plain
that of the Republican administration
Il don't complain at all, / say it was a fact,
that they turned out those who supported
them, and put in those who worked against
them, and not only that, but who spent
money contributed by Republicans"
''They worked for the success of the coali-
ton party?''
eyes sir, and if Hancock and English had
been elected, they would have been in the
Democratic party to-day, Malone and all O
them" Adjourned until Monday next.

comments on the people whom met in this
country viii be of value. They will bring to
the comprehension of great many people
their first knowledge of the fact that wealth
and culture do not necessarily go together,
and that while they may palm themselves off
as persons of culture in a gold-worshipping
community, they cannot pass muster when
examined as to their requirements by COM
petent authorities.
Chicago is mad, however, to its remotest
depths. 1t will never forgive Arnold. Should
he ever visit that city again and the present
feeling continue, he will run the risk of be-
ing scalded, and his bristies pulled out, as is
the case with the porcine travellers which i'm
migrate in such numbers to the Garden city.

FORCED UNDER WATER.
A. C. KnOpf, of the Chicago Board,
Gives Up the Ghost.
Special Telegram to the Globe. |

CHICAGO, April IA. c. Knopf, a large
Spectator on the board of trade and also one
of the biggest commission merchants in
butter and cheese, at 203 South Water street,
was caught in the tolls and has closed out
his deals. He was seen to-day by the GLOBE
correspondent, and appeared very much cast
down by his misfortune He made, substan
italy, the following statement:
''I've lost great deal on wheat for months
past, though my principal dealings on the
board have been in corn. l wanted
to close out on Friday, but my friends adj
visedme to hold out while longer, as prices
were bound to rise. They wanted to back
me up with money, but am glad now did
not let them do so, as things would be only
worse. I've now but about 30, 900 bushels Of
wheat on my books, but great deal more
corn. My country customers are the cause
Of my failure. They left me in the lurch.r
Here he exhibited a bit of paper, on which
margins for which these customers failed to
respond figured up to $40, 525.
There is about S23,O0O of such margins,
not one-half of which 1 expect to collect. My
Ildplllues lou up pIoodDly DcJ"een SoO,OuU
and $4,000 and my margins altogether
amount to about $50, 900, 1 guess. My
country dealings have been in Wisconsin,
Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and Indiana, and
1 had number of customers in the city,
toon
evil this failure effect your commission
business?'
II hope not. What makes me feel so bad
is the word failure. I've never owed man
a dollar, been on the board ever since 1862
and been through good many rackets. I
l won't make any assignment, but I'll settle
up the best way L can within a few days.
The board won't lose any money by me. In

Shoot the Tar Mon.

Saturday morning the firemen were called
to the corner of Wabashaw and Fifth streets
by the burning of mop on the roof of
Odd Fellows block, which had been used in
repairing the tar roof. At one O'Clock this
morning the dose was repeated by the
same old mop taking fire on the same
roof. There was delay of ten minutes in
turning in an alarm, which might have been
serious if the building had been on fire. The
fremen responded very quickly when the
alarm was given and the mop was thrown to
the street. Some little excitement was
created among the guests in the hotel Living
stone, which adjoins the Odd Fellows block,
as the blaze Illuminated the upper part of the
hotel.

Rec. S. G.. Smith.

The closing address of those announced
was made by Rev. Samuel g. Smith. In
commencing, the reverend speaker spoke in
favor of prohibition, his utterances being
received with vociferous applause. Allusion
was then made to the action of the eight
aldermen who voted for saloon
license of 800; he said that
recent developments had demonstrated
that these eight gentlemen had made a mis-
take. The dreadful ravages of rum were
then alluded to; he alluded to the crowded
jails, the poor houses swarming with paupers,
the deaf and dumb asylums and the insane
asylums, as partial evidences of what the
the saloons had accomplished. He thought
that the saloons did society a great
wrong, he thought they should
be made to understand that they had issued
their last edict, political or otherwise; that
they should be made to bear portion of the
terrible expense traced to their doors. They
should be made to bear portion of the ex-
pense of the police court, jails and other in
situations which they were respon-
sible for. Loud and prolonged applause. ]
Rev. DR.. Thomas, of st. Pauls church,
was called upon for an address, but he de-
clined by sayang that he concurred in the
able remarks of the reverend gentleman who
had preceded him.

gently, for our own Will Merriam for con-

tite exposed by the GLOBE some time ago
grows apace. Ex-Gov. Davis is to go the

of the Republican National committee. All
this is in the minds eye of the tripartite. We
are sorry for Davis end Merriam, They de-
