On the conclusion of the reading of the memo
rial, remarks being called for by the chairman,
Judge David Turpie addressed the meeting.
JUDGE TURPIES ADDREsS
Following a long and beautiful analyzation of
Mr.. Hendricks character as q lawyer, the
brilliancy of his requirements and the quality of
ais mind, Judge Turpie closed as follows:
r In illustration he was sparing in diction, choice, &C
curate; upon occasion ornate and elegant; fluent with
out superfiuity. In pronunciation a purist, clear, pre-
else, with an ear of most delicate fancy. In the COLO
cation, or arrangement of words in the clause or SEN
tence, not SO capable-as apt to close an
important sentence with one of the smallest of
English propositions as with a term whose quantities
might give both to the voice and ear the cadence of
repose. For mere humor he found not often q place
though happy when so used-for invective or de-
nunciation very seldom. The most malignant miscre-
ant in the record was treated by him usually as one
who had but fallen into some mistake or error.
His department toward his brethren of the bar. the
jury, his auditors, and especially toward the officer
presiding, was the model of courtesy and complais-
ance. AS an advocate he must take high rank in
the first class,la class not numerous. He was
especially able in adaptation. Fact was closely
fitted to fact and the whole structure of circumstance
dovetailed into the law of the case. The parts
matched like mosaics in the most highly finished
mechanism. TO this was united a suave plausibility
and a subtle economy which made much, the most, of
little when little fell to his side. He had a copious
command of familiar terms and expressions even upon
abstruse topics, which became his interpreters to the

people of his own State, but of the Nation, to secure
for him high and distinguished honors. But we, who
knew him at home, honored him more for his per.
sonal nobility of character than we did for his great
intellect, great as it confessedly was-borrowing
something of a thought from one of our American
authors, who says: Weighing a pure heart against a
great brain is like weighing the bubble
against a weight of pure gold" And
those who miss Mr.. Hendricks from social life, miss
him from the gatherings of the benevolent and char
ity societies, miss him from such gatherings as this,
miss him from the forum, miss him from. all these
places where he was so useful, viii think less of his in
teliect and more of his character.
Mr.. Chairman, so much has been said in
praise of Mr.. Hendricks that L feel that | can
add nothing more. | am sure, however, that
the consultations which will be dearer to those who
were near and dear to him will not be found in the
honor and respect which the Nation pays to his mem
DRY, great as they are. but they will be found in the full
assurance that so noble and pure was his life, so
grand and true his faith that he shall pass through to
the land of darkness, through the shadow of death,
and at last find an eternal abiding place in the city of
the Great King.
JUDGE r. s. TAyLoR's LETTER.

No other men know each other so well as lawyers.
And in all the assemblies of the people that will be
held in memory of the deceased Vice president, there
will nowhere be present so true an appreciation of the
qualities CT the man himself as in the meeting Of the
bar OF Indiana. AS Governor, senator. Vice-presi-

those high places is part of the common heritage of
the American people. But as a lawyer he was, in a
peculiar sense, our associate, our friend, our brother.

Hon. John r. Coffroth, of Lafayette, next
spoke to the memorial. His remarks were as
follows:
Gentlemen of the Bar: Governor Hendricks came
amongst US, and the world is better and brighter for
his having been here. The sunshine was upon his
pathway of life, and flowers of affection bloomed all
along it's borders. The accepted leader of his party
not grim. malignant and despotic, but always respect
ing and loving his great army; not hated and feared as
was that great intellectual devil of Europe-his lead
ership inspired love, confidence and enthusiasm in his
followers, while hate came not to the hearts of his
political opponents.
His home was happy-as she whose love grew
stronger with the feeting years, and who now mourns.

news came TO its sturdy and kindly people. saving:
Hendricks is dead'-like for William the Silent, little
children cried in the streets.
In Indiana panegyric sinks before the name of
Thomas A Hendricks. and in the Nation he was in the
hearts of its people, as, in fact, the second citizen of
America.
In that profession which employs in its theory the
noblest faculties of the soul, and exerts in its practice
the cardinal virtues of the heart, - the bar whose
representatives we to-day are, our dead brother was a
proud leader. Clear, logical, brilliant and earnest
with him the cause Of the wronged and helpless
became his own; and the wintry storm which sweeps
along the troubled Baltic is not more terrible than
was his denunciation of fraud and oppression; while
his p~leadings in behalf of innocence were the outpour-
ings of a gentle and loving heart.
He was fortunate even in his death. He sunk to
rest at his happy home, with millions of loving hea rts
who would have prayed and pleaded for him, had the

most exalted position on the earth in his holding, he
went from his high estate 10 his peaceful rest.

THE Kelly QUESTION.

Mr. Vest has introduced resolution
in the Senate which calls for the cor
respondenee between this Government
and the Governments Of Italy and Aus
tria, In regard to the cerlifcaton Of MIR.
Kelly as our Minister to those courts
and their refusal in succession to re-
ceive him. The President will prob
ably find It compatible with the public
interest to comply with the Senator's
request.
It is quite probable that the people
OF the United States are already ac-
quainted in a general way with the oh.
jections raised against Mr.. Kelly, but
as natural in cases of such rare occur
renee, there is desire to see the full
correspondence and inspect the pro-
cesses ofdiplomatic reasoning by which
the conclusion that che ought not to
visit u.s. was arrived at.
The correspondence on the subject
between Italy and the United States
will be of much more interest than
that of the United States with Austria,
for our relations with that government
have always been very agreeable, while
there has never been any sympathy to
waste between America and Austria.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.
A few days ago, according to our
esteemed contemporary, which is more
or less at times an organ, of the Admin
istration, 1t was only the "precous
life" of the President that stood be
tween the country and arnachy. The
situation has since changed. Mr.. John
Sherman of Ohio has been interposed,
so that for the present we have the
satisfaction of knowing that there are
two precious lives to depend on, which
in oil probability will be enough to carry
us safely through the holidays.
1t is to be hoped, however, that in
the meantime, the bill now pending in
the Senate In relation to the Presi-
dental succession, will be adopted
without delay or debate in either house
Its leading features are well enough
understood, 1t is measure that is both
practical and practicable; It seems to
point the way to sensible and salts
factory solution of the question at is
sue. There can be no reasonable ex-
cuse for procrastination.
1t will no doubt be much more satis-
factory to the country at large, and to
both Of the great political parties, than
any proposition which has ever been
submitted twill certainly be much
more reassuring to feel that the seven
precious lives Of the Cabinet stand be-
tween the great family of States and
the horrors of anarchy, than the one
solitary official whose precious life is
not only subject to the 'disrupting laws
of nature, but to the caprice Of the
Senate, or the other solitary official
whose precious life goes out with that
Of the House over which he presides.
BY all means let the Iioar ill be
passed, and If possible, before the hoii-
days.
