can Lawyers se Honest /?

This question Homer Greene
asks aud answers in the North
American Review. lie deals, he
says. with the reputable element OF
the profession, the great body Of
rsspectables, and not at all with the
few members Of the bar who dis
grace their profession by the con
duct of highwayman or q hog"
by way of information, perhaps,
Mr.. Greene informs as in the be-
ginning that there is general inn
preston in America that lawyers, as
class, are dishonest. This news
is, however, hardly in the nature Of
information
Then the writer asks the public
some questions which he would like
to have it stand up in court and
answer under oath. lie asks the
community to tell him what it
would think of a lawyer who, know
ing his client to be in the wrong,
would for that reason decline to
take his case. How many fees
would that lawyer get who, though
he knew positively that his employ
er had stolen the horse. and if he
got free would 60 on and steal other
horses, yet on this account should
refuse to take advantage of purely
technical error in the indictment
against him to give him his liberty?
IL a lawyer had positive knowl-
edge in his possession of convicting
his own client and releasing anoth-
or accused, would public opinion
anywhere justify him in making
known those facts even to set an in
nocent man free, if thereby his own
client vent to Jail No, it would
not; at least hardly ever. There
upon Mr.. Greene rightly concludes
that lawyers are exactly honest as
they dare be to get a living
and that they are exactly what
ther clients make them. Then he
makes the following unheard of
superstition
Suppose the case were different. Sup
pose every prospective litigant were to
relieve himself OF all manner of blame
before seeking the services of lawyer,
were TO apologize If an apology was call.
ed for pay money If money were due,
confess and plead guilty If he had done
wrong or committed crime, and,
having exhausted every effort of the
kind that nice sense of honor would
demand, suppose he were still compelled
to go TO law to obtain or protect his
rights. what would the result be If he
should lay the matter fairly before his
attorney and say II want this case
tried openly and honorably. l don't
want suspicion of unfairness or preju-
dice or undue advantage of any kind to
attach to 1t in any way 7"
Why, the result would be that the at
torney would obey instructions, aud do
so cheerfully. And ii the opposing at
torney were similarly instructed, what
an unusual and refreshing spectacle
there would be in court when that case
came up for trial Yet there are few
attorneys who would not rather, and far
rather, conduct cause after this fashion
than with the usual concealment, eva
sion, exaggeration and strained logic, if
only they could be satisfied of the appro-
val of their client and the appreciation
of the public

they should be, and those that are be-

day Evening.


day Evening.
One OF the most beautiful weddings
seen for years in this city was solemn
lied on Wednesday night at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Jno. OFT on South Jeffer-
son street. The contracting parties
were Miss Eleanor Massie OFT and Mr..
Jno. Archer Wilson. The house was
beautifully decorated with smilax,
mistletoe and cut flowers, and from
amidst this mass of living plants
cleaned tho soft light Of innumerable
wax candles shedding their radiance
over the entire scence and involuntarily
taking ones thoughts back to the time
of fairyland marriages-for such was
the beauty o. the scene.
At half-past nine, to the strains of the
wedding march from "Lohengrin," the
bridal couple entered. The bride, ac-
companied by her sister, Miss Josie OFT,
entered from the back parlor, and the
groom, with his best man, Mr.. June
Davenport, from tho front entrance,
meeting at the folding doors, under
which was suspended a magnificent mar
riage bell of white roses. In a solemn
and impressive manner DR.. Meade per-
formed tho ceremony, and at Che close
of it presented the bride with On ivory
bound book containing the marriage
vow and certificate. Never was there a
lovelier bride than Mrs. Wilson. She
wore magnificent gown of white faille
and real lace and q long veil, which was
fastened to her hair with tiny pieces of
smilax. In her hand she carried a
bunch of brides roses, which seemed q
lifting emblem of her own purity and
loneliness. Her sister Josie, as maid of
honor, wore simple white muslin, with
no adornment save her natural grace
and beauty. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
are we'll known by large circle of
friends, and they were the recipients of
innumerable gifts and good wishes on
this occasion.
There was only limited number of
guests invited to the marriage, but
among those present we're: Mr.. and
Mrs. Dupuy Ferguson, Mr.. and Mrs. c..
c. Taliaferro, Mr.. and Mrs Charles
Gallaher and their charming friend
Miss Mary Thayer, from Charleston,
w. va, WHO is visiting them; Judge
and Mrs. Robertson, Mr.. Mason, a
brother-in-law of the groom; Misses
Matte and Lula Terry, Miss Mary
Trout, Josephine Walter, Corinne
Tunstall, Annie Armistead and Miss
Pretlow; Messrs. Barbee, Davenport,
Ruckner, Jamison, Christian, Smith,
Trout, Airheart, Mason, Palmer; Mrs.
Levy, and Mr.. and Mrs. Bibb. Mrs.
OFT were an elegant black faille. Miss
Hattie and Miss Maggie wore white silk
gowns and Mrs. Budwell looked lovely
IN handsome black crepe de chino.
AT 10 o'clock The dining rooms we're
thrown open. and true Virginia hospi-
tally reigned supreme, with as genial
a host and hostess as Mr.. and Mrs. Jno.
OFT for the power behind the throne
The menu comprised everything that
was palatable in the way Of salads, ices,
fruits, wines Of all delicate flavors, etc.
The brides cake was given to each guest
in little souvenir boxes.
