Justice Lamer,s First Fee.


Justice Lsmar's earliest anticipations Of q
triumph in legal arena came to an abrupt
end, just when the papers were in readiness for
hlng and matters looked decidedly like q YER
dlcJ 10 favor OF the plaintiff, Says a writer IN
the Pittsburg Dispatch. Incidentally also a
certain obligation which represented the re-
tanner IN the case, waited q long time before
payment was made, and the Secretary OF the
Interior of Cleveland's cabinet hasn't yet for
gotten the amusing side Of his first case
Newton county, Georgia, was no very prolific
field for unemployed lawyers several decades
ago, II II is now, and so Squire Lamar as he
was called by his companions felt that be had
promising future before him. when one day
the Widow Dolliver burst into his office and
wanted TO discover how she could take
revenge on well-known young man
about the county, Tom Downs. The irate
lady was informed Of the cost such knowledge
would entail. but genuine cash was scarce Just
then. A note for SOS supplied the place OF a re
tanner, and Newton county's attorney set about
preparing the documents for a suit. in which
the court was asked to decree verdict of dam
ages against Tom Downs, because be had broken
ms promise to marry the Widow Delivers
daughter. Visions of large slice Of the dam
ages railing to the attorney for plaintiff helped
materially in Fastening the opening OF the &C
ton. when the word was passed that the suit
was of-Miss Dolliver had become Mrs. Tom
Downs
But Squire Lamar was entitled to something
Tor his trouble, and the note for 325 was finally
paid; not for many months thereafter, how
ever, and not until the young lawyer was known
as a legal fighter of the first rank all over the
Cracker" commonwealth. The i'll health of
Justice Lamar by the way. makes it possible
that he will resign soon after the new admins
tration is installed. In that case the name of
Don Dickinson is the one most frequently men

Shall Immizratlon be suspanded2

Shall Immigration be Susp snded2
| The Senate committee ON immigration
that is now holding sessions at the Fifth
Avenue hotel. New York, appears to be
making pretty thorough study OF the i'm
migration question 1t has not yet decided
upon its report, but it is thought that it will
recommend that trial be made Of what is
known as the steamship manifest bill. This
bill has already passed the Senate and will
come before the House at the approaching
session. 1t is not entirely satisfactory to
tie Senate committee. and it is probable
that amendments to it will be recommended.
1t not only provides additional restrictions,
but makes it easier to discover whether or
not the immigration laws are being violated
1t will be- effective in keeping criminals,
paupers and other undesirable persons out
of the country. One senator thought the
bill did not go far enough. While he was
not prepared to take the position that no
immigrant should be admitted to the coun-
try who could not read and write, he was
inclined to think that the time was not dis
tant when the ability to read and write
would be one of the conditions
of the admission Of immigrants. He also
thought that immigrants without families
shouldn't have less than 800 each on their
arrival here, and those with families should
have great deal more.
The most interesting question discussed In
the committee was whether it wouldn't be
wise to suspend immigration altogether for
a number of years. The sentiment Of the
committee seemed to be that il would,
though it is not probable that suspension
will be recommended.
The immigration question is one that is
quite difficult to deal with. There are com
parativeiy few who would like to see our
ports closed to all immigrants. Desirable
immigrants are welcome additions to the
population in all parts Of the country
Consular inspection, that has been so much
talked about as a restrictive measure, does
not appear to meet with a great deal of
favor. great many of our consuls, if
report does not do them injustice. do not
now attend to the duties Of their offices as
they ought, and very good service from
them in checking the coming of immigrants
who are not wanted is not to be expected.
In the Senate bill there is a provision that
immigrants shall be able to read and write
| 1t is question whether the House will
agree to that. A great many thrifty and
desirable immigrants can neither read nor
write, but they make excellent citizens.
1t looks like an easy thing to do to settle
the immigration question, but when the
settlement of it is undertaken the difficulties
in the way of accomplishing that object are
found TO be numerous.
That very large portion of the immi
grants who come to this country are not de-
sirable is beyond doubt. If their coming
could be prevented the talk of suspending
immigration for number of years would

A Boston lawyer recalling some incident Of

were armed and determined, and were hustling
me on at a lively pace, some where, that might
have proved a very unhealthy place for me
Just as had almost given up hope a couple Of

either had more sense than the soldiers, or they
understood bad French better, for they ordered

richmond Terminal Means War.


The notice which Receiver Oakmau, Of
the Richmond Terminal Company, has
served on those who sold that company the
majority Of the stock of the Georgia Cen
trail, telling them that suit will be begun
against them for the recovery Of the money
paid for the stock If they do not voluntarily
return it, means that there Is going to be a
/ lively legal battle, involving millions OF dol
lars between the Richmond Terminal aud
those who sold it the stock. And during
that legal battle a good many things will
come to light Of which the public knows
/ little or nothing as yet.
/ II the threatened suit is begun and tried
it will be sensational one. Some Of the
/ defendants are among the leading financial
houses in New York. The charge that Re-
ceiver Oakmsn makes against them IS not
creditable to them, and they cannot afford
to have that charge proved.
The basis of Receiver Oakman's suit is
that the defendants, some of them being d.
rectors of the Richmond Terminal, sold to
the Terminal majority of the stock of the
Georgia Central for just about twice what
it was worth. They did this be says.
through their influence in the Terminal and
by representing that the Georgia Central
was earning more than II per cent. on its
stock.
Was the Georgia Central earning II per
cent. on its stock at that time; Receiver
Oakman, is reported as saying thai there are
aifidavit5 of officers Of the Georgia Central
in his possession to the effect that it WAS.
If be has such alfidavits be will produce
them at the proper time.
Doubtless there was a year, perhaps two
years, in which the Georgia Central earned
u per cent. An effort will be made prob
ably to prove that it was earned at the
expense of the roads physical condition. If
the road earned - per cent. fairly in any
year its manegeme at 'in subsequent years
must have been extremely reckless. 1t
is not earning it's fixed charges
now, and it is claimed 1t did not earn them
the year it was leased to the Richmond and
Dauville, although its physical condition
was permitted to deteriorate greatly and
its rolling stock was not kept in good re-
pair.
II Receiver Oakman's notice Is followed
by suit it will be made known whether
the present financial condition of the Geor-
gia Central is the work of the Richmond
Terminal or OF men in the Terminal There
are hundreds of people in Georgia-people
who had their money invested in the Central
because it was thought to be as solid fUan-
cially as the government-who want to
know the truth. They want TO know who
is responsible for depriving widows and
orphans, hospitals and asyums, Of their in
comes The knowledge will do them no
good, but it will be source Of satisfaction
to have the responsibility for the misman-
agemeut placed where it belongs

Tie state of Mr. Blaine's health is almost
as much a matter of conjecture as what the
comet is going to do. When a man of
prominence il taken i'll the chances are
against the public receiving reliable in
formation concerning his condition until
the patient dies or gets well enough to 60
out. As showing the unreliability of the
average report concerning prominent sick
man the recent rumors about Jay Goulds
health may be noted. One day last week
he had slight bilious attack aud did not
leave his room. Almost Immediately the
report was circulated that he was dying,
aud although efforts we're made by brokers
TO learn his true condition they could get no
reliable information. In the case Of Mr.
Gould the report of his dangerous illness
was probably circulated by bears in Gould
stocks. but there Is no such inducement for
