That Bar Association.
Editor CoDa,r Chronicle:

ANtttO' COVAC CNf Wtstte.
To carry out the objects of the
bar association would be, first, to
get rid of lawyer Legislation with
as little delay as possible. (The
law is their capital.) Second, Fix
lawyers fees. by law except by
special contract, and do away with
the disgraceful practice of proving
lawyers fees by parole testimony.
Third, Hold lawyers to strict &C
countability for their word and hon
or in business transactions with. eli
ants. Fourth, Judges and lawyers
should be compelled by law to at.
tend strictly to- their professional
duties. Fifth, Get rid with as lit
tie delay as possible, of unlimited
jurisdiction otJudges over dead peo-
ple's property. Probate law should
be- simplifed so as to settle chill
dren's and widows affairs without
delay and save cost. Sixth, Jud-
ges and lawyers should be CON-
PEELED to take their wives with
them when court is in session, which
would greatly facilitate business by
saving them the trouble to adjourn
court to 60 home. 10 be continued

Average Speed.


"What, is the average speed of
your fast trains :" a conductor on
the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad was asked re-
Gently by a reporter Of the New
York Tribune.
"Well, it depends altogether. on
what kind of train and load we
have" was the reply. "With a
train consisting of an engine,
tender, two parlor cars and two
passenger coaches, with about $50
passengers aboard, we make so
miles per hour. But, of course,
that is not kept up regularly. Be-
tween long stops we make faster
speed than between shorter ones !;
for there is much time consumed in
slowing up and getting under way
again" @ fla
''What is the fastest time on re-
cord in this country 7"
II think the fastest time is about
1875 miles per hour. This was &C.
complished by a special train on the
West Shore Railroad last July.
Fhe train ran from Buffalo to Gen
esee junction fifty-six minutes. The
first part of the journey she ran at
the rate of 654 miles per. hour, but
the last 80 miles or more she made
1875 miles per hour. That beats
all records in. this country, T don't
care what they say to the contrary.
I've heard a good. deal about fast
speed: being made at the rate of
eighty miles per hour but I have
never seen it, nor seen account of it
on any company's books, and that's
the best place to 60 for such infor-
nation"
"What is the approximate weight
of your fast trains7"
"Well, let me see. Engine, two
parlor cars and two passenger
coaches would weigh about 264,0Q0
pounds, and counting the tender,
coal aud passengers, you'd have
nearly $4,000 pounds. Of course
this is rough estimate, but then it
gives you good idea Of what an
engine is doing when she goes at
the rate of fifty miles an hour"
"But what is the rate of speed
for any ordinary passenger car"
"That, too, differs with the size
of the train and the load she is car
rying. On the Pennsylvania Road,
it is put down on the books as av-
erage schedule speed 4s.01 miles
an hour; while on other roads it
varies from forty to fifty miles an
hour"

A Very Remarkable Recovery,

Mr.. George. V. Willing, of Mans.
chester, Mich, writes: 3: "My wife

years, SO helpless that she conld
not turn over in bed alone. She
used two bottles of Electric Bitters,

tive powers Only fifty cents a

Senator Gibson's Letter.

The Picayune this morning pub
hshed a letter of three columns from
Senator Gibson to Gen. Allen Tho
mas, explanatory and vindicatory of
his course in reference to the Pres
idcntial appointments in this State.
Boiled down, the Senator's letter
denies all the charges Of pledges
and promises made to any appli-
cants for Office; of ever using any
influence or control in the appoint
ments, independent of and without
the responsibility and joint appro-
val of the other delegates to Con-
gress from this State; that the
names of all applicants were sub
mitted to the caucus of the delega-
ton, and only when they had ex-
pressed their choice and preference
did he assume any responsibility
and then only jointly with his COL
leagues.
There was, only one exception to
this course, when the name of one
of the Senator's friends was recon-
mended by the Generals Secretary
without being previously submitted
to the delegation. Though the
Senator's averments. may be met,
and indeed have been met by en-
phatic denials from several promi-
nent gentlemen, he has made a
square Issue with his critics and ad-
versaries, in which both parties. will
be entitled to a hearing before the
people.
Judgment cannot and ought not
to, be pronounced until such hearing
has been had. Our neighbor of the
Picayxne is too impatient and too
partizan to abide such hearing.
With it's characteristic impetu-
DUSTY it precipitates its conclusion,
in favor of Senator Gibson to assn
ming grounds, motives and results
of his action which are not even re-
ferred to, by the Senator and are re-
peatedly. rejected as controlling or
affecting his conduct in reference
to the appointments. The Pic, de-
MES that the chief motive and mer
it of the Senator's conduct has been
to defeat a certain, ring which has
heretofore exercised too large and
baleful control in the Democratic
party in this State. The Senator,
however, made no intimation. of any
such purpose or danger on his part
or that of the caucus whose decis-
ions he accepted.
Whether our neighbor has in his
possession any evidence al5umde to
support its assumption, can only be
determined by an exhibit thereof,
and by showing. that the gentlemen
appointed were SO appointed over
and in opposition to candidates who
were of that ''ring upon the sub
mission and defeat of which the flu
ture success and harmony of; the
Democratic party depend."-] Daily
