DEATH OF A NOTED CHARACTER.
"Chief Justice Marshall" the colored porte T
for the hotels here before the war, died last
Thursday in Washington. His name was
John Marshall. He was about eighty seven
wears old, and was born in this State. He
was very digniiied, and proud of the i'm.
mense plate he wore upon his hat, certify
ing that he was porter for hotels, places of
amusement, sc. If he ever slept, it was a
matter of secrecy, even to the hotel clerks.
He had box in the cellar of the Howard
House, Baltimore, where he was employ
ed recently, in which he kept few
articles of clothing, but the oldest clerk has
no re, ollecton OF his ever changing his
clothes, or of his ever taking few hours oil
duty for the purpose of going to- sleep. Of
late years, he seemed to have received the
imp, esson that he aras Chief Justice Mar
often. The "Chief," as he was always called
in Alexandria, was porter for the old City
Hotel and subsequently for Green's Mansion
House before the war, and at that time was
we'll known to the travelling public, Dur
ing the war he supplemented the sign on
his hat with one announcing the fact that
he WAS drummer for concert hall.
He ALWAYS wore formidable looking watch
chains, generally having one around his
neck and a fob dangling from his pants
pocket. After the war the Chief" became
involved in difficulty with white man at
the Midland depot in this city, during
which lie used his heavy walking stick
rather sayagely on his adversary. He was
committed to ill TO await the result of the
injuries he had inflicted, and upon being re
leased left this city for Baltimore, where he
continued his avocation as porter uail re-

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Janie, the LITTLE

Lyles, was the victim of a serious accident
late Yesterday afternoon. Sine, III company
with several little girls of her own age, was
playing on tho porch Of a neighbours house.
ON Queen street, opposite her father, resi-.
dence. and either " lille engaged in the dan.
gerous sport of sliding down the bannisters
or climbing up on the outside of the steps,
fell to the pavement, striking her head VIC.
lently upon the bricks. One of the little
girls ran to her assistance, and endeavored
to raise her upon her feet, when some
neighbors came up and found that the child
was unconscious. She was taken home and
medical aid summoned, but it was eleven
O'Clock at night before the injured child
could be aroused from her stupor.

tbs FOOLISH" so.

There are numerous occasions in
the management of mundane af-
fairs in which knowledge ceases to
be a part Of wisdom and innocent
ignorance takes its place in the ac-
complishment of such excellent re-
suits that it is difficult to tell which
should be the most admired. A
change of places becomes possible
in our admiration for its cleverness,
and knowledge and wisdom with
veiled faces take places at the foot
-ofthe class, and the old saw zig
norance is bliss when it is foolish
to be wise" assumes an invigor-
ated meaning that throws a glai-
mour over any degree of stupidness
less than idiocy. To be innocently
ignorant, without a compromise Of
dignity or respect, is an attainment
reached only by a fortunate few
who ought TO constitute a new
school of philosophers. The ability
70 pose one's self gracefully and
artistically before an expectant
public with an air of child-like ig-
noraace, especially when the one
who attempts the ruse can but be-
licve that the public knows better,
is indeed no common attainment,
and well may be termed expedient
wisdgn. For the last few years
we have had several examples of
this faculty in the management of
our public matters, and doubtless,
other exhibitions of it will take
place soon.

pnFoRR THR GRAND JuRY.

By sad experience, even if ac-
quilted of the charge, Col. Phillips
has felt the full force of the fact
that mans evil deeds "do follow
after him" Since the notorious
council of May 'S3, the Nemesis OF
his false representations about the
$500, 600 transaction and the dis
reputable grounds on which he suc-
ceeded in getting the s22, 800 cor
ruption appropriation through
council has pursued him with un-
firing step until it has brought him
before a grand jury of the District
Of Columbia on a criminal charge.
Never before, perhaps, has any
one man, either native or foreign,
caused such division among the
people as he. To protect himself
'Sgainst the Condemnation the hon.
est and patriotic intelligence of the
country has meted out to him, he
has attempted to rekindle old
prejudices and unsettle the peace
that years Of amity and reconciled
feeling has secured to the people.
He would make it appear that none
except southern people object to
being robbed, and that none should
sQueal at being Aeeced, because,
for sooth, they ought to be used TO
Il by this iims. His career has
brought him before a jury on a
Criminal charge, and il is to be
hoped that we are rid Of him. His
superior officer Blunt, and his
predecessor, Thomas, by many
years, has blazed the way he should
90, and have paid the penalty for
yiclimizing indians

Asylum. Although long years
have passed since the institution
was founded, and those who were
orphans then by reasons Of their
age have ceased to be such from
the came cause, it is a distressing
fact that all those who have been
orphaned since cannot be accom-
modated--not even the extremely
destitute. That grand and gcncr-
Gus impulse that conceived the
idea, and the noble union of pur.
pose that made the institution a
reality ceased when it became such
and turned into selfish channels
the resources that were intended to
make such an accommodation
possible. 1t is a positive blushing
fact that destitute orphans have
been denied a home at the asylum
for want of room and the means to
take care of them "a burning
shame upon the authorities Of our
government.
The treaty OF 1866 sets aside, as
an orphan fund, fifteen per cent. of
all monies rising from the sale of
lands. We have received for lands
west of the Arkansas river $685.
600. OF that sum there should
have been reserved s97 200 for the
education, clothing and the general
care oftho orphans of our country,
and s226, 800 for school purposes.
From the strip lands in Kansas we
have realized as much perhaps as
we have from lands west of the
Arkansas river. II would be a
safe assertion to say that no one in
this nation knows what we have
received. All the proceeds thus
accruing have been turned into one
channel, and the orphan and school
funds have been cheated out of
their shares. Such is the fact,
although our constitution says call
acknowledged treaties shall be the
supreme law of the land" and the
very authority that perverted these
funds from their proper use have
sworn to sustain that constitution;
such caunot be iuied. The orphan
children can unprovided for,
grow up in ignorance, in want, in
inhumane treatment and degrade.
tion, just so a disreputable popu-
larity may be gained at the expense
of their helplessness and want Of
funds.

clerk is doing under the ejectment
act Now the clerk is an officer Of
the court; that is, he belongs to the
Judicial branch Of the government,
yet he sits in his office, issues an
executive order to the sheriff, and
without any chance for a hearing, q
poor fellow is thrown headlong out
of his own house. This is the Ju-
dicial doing what can only be ex-
pected from the Executive, and it
is a very bad piece of Executive
conduct, too. But worst Of all, see
what the Executive is doing with
the Judicial. Let tasupreme judge,
or any other kind of a judge, do
anything which the Executive may
think is not right, what is the re-
sult9 Why, the chief jerks him
down from the bench and suspends
him-that is hangs him up TO dry
like "possum" picked. Let the
supreme court issue an execution;
the chief assumes the prerogative
to tell the sheriff what property he
shall, and what property he shall
not, levy upon, or whether he shall
obey the court and serve the execu-
ton at all or not. In other words
the Executive "gets away with"
the Judicial cock just whenever he
pleases. The dismissal of Albion
Spears from an executive clerkship
is a very little matter; the whole
thing is not enough to make a rip
pie upon the waters in any other
country than ours. Yet it was con-
sidered a very great and dangerous
infringement of the constitution.
This seems like straining at a gnat
and swallowing a camel. While it
is n notorious fact that there is no
regard paid to the constitution in
so grave matters as we have above
pointed out-by the Executive es-
pecially--it does seem very pid-
ding kind OF business to raise a
racket about clerk on constitu-
tional grounds. ***
