JUDICIAL DISCIPLINE.

Is is refreshing to know that for
once an attempt will be made to pre-
serve the honor Of the Court. II
there i, any branch of the Govern
mcnt which should bs free from POI
htlcal cprruptltin it is the judiciary,
but IN these days politics rules and
ruins, even the courts OF justice The
Bull etin conta ms tie following con-
csrning the proposed action of the
Bar Of ew YORK:
The Bar Association of New York
Is about to investigate the conduct of
Judge Maynard, who has recently
been eles ated to the Bench of the
Court of Appeals, the highest trihu
nal f that State. 1t is charged that
he was eng ged while Deputy Attor-
ney General in cardalons political
job which was essentially corrupt.
1t related to the substitution of one
set of election returns for another,
by which the political complexion of
the State Senate was changed.
Whether the charge was true or false
Maynard never made any defense.
But very soon after the transaction
Governor Flower appointed Maynard
Judge of the Court of Appeals.
There are some difficulties that be-
set the inquiry. The job was Pc
litical one, done for the promotion of
the success Of one party and the de-
feat of the other. Parles would
naturally divide on the lines of their
political sympathies. Another diff
Guilty is that the act complained of
was committed before the msn was
maze judge. But the 4 tsoning ON
the other hand is that ~ man of
scandaious antecedenta is L; Tor such
an ofice He must have the record |
of . clean life, or he is not fit to sit as
Judge in The highest court of the
State.
As long as the newspapers were
busy in showing up Maynard's rec
ord he was not greatly concerned.
He got the reward for his Job, and
the papers could blaze away. But
now that the Bar Association is dis
posed to take up the matter, it as
sumes a new aspect. Maynard's ap-
pointment will expire at the close of
the year, when, if his record we're
good, he might be candidate for an
election by the people.
As a general rule, bar associations
hesitate before they investigate the
conduct of judge, or of one of
their own members. But when they
do go about it, they generally make
thorough work.
It was thesBar Association of New
York which initiated proceedings
against Barnard and CORDOBA, with
the result that both were compelled
to vacate their offices. Every mem
Der of the bar is in common par
ance an officer of the court. He is t
directly concerned in the pure ad-
of justice.
But lawyers are not more cour-
lgeous than other men. 1t was re> .
,ently said by prominent member
# the bar that lawyers were the least {
of all the professional
nen. 1t is only in the most motor
Gus cases that they put Judge on z
lis defense. They understand that
the latter is hostile to them he can
tut them at great disadvantage in
he transaction of business before CT
Tim, In Maynard's case little may s
ONE of the investigation But the
act that this most influential associa>
on is disposed to enquire whether a NJ
ian who sits on the highest tribunal
4 the State is fit to be there, is an
one for abstract justice. 70

The Importance of the Congress from

ANCIENT WRECK FOUND.

An Oyster Dredger Discovers "a Spanis
GalIeOn.
New Orleans Sept. 24.-While dredg-
ing for oysters on what is known as
the Rock Pile" at Biloxi bay, on the
coast Of Mississippi sound, Engineer
Tibbier recently grappled and brought
up a small iron cannon of antique de
sign and evidently part of the arma.
ment of a navel vessel. Further search
revealed a wrecked vessel about fifty
five feet long and twenty wide. 1t lies
in twelve feet of water. The wood.
work thus far brought up is of oak and
mahogany and is fairly well preserved.
having been imbeded in the mud at tho
bottom. A large number of stones
foreign to that locality have been found
and evidently formed the belfast of tho
vessel. The woodwork was put to-
Gether with wooden hinges, and where
bolt was used it was of copper. No
iron seems to have been used except
for braces. Sheaves and blocks have
also been brought up, which show the
vessel to have been of considerable size.
Four iron cannon have been found.
One Of these is six feet long and is in
fair condition. Cannon balls of diff
ferent sizes and parts Of gun carriages
have also been brought up. To the lat
ter were still ATTACHED pieces of the
ropes by which they were worked A
quantity Of gunpowder was found which
retaining its appearance and smell. A
m1sket, apparently capable of carrying
an ounce ball, with very old-fashioned
lock, the nipple and vent perfect, and
many other curiosities are being taken
out daily.
Nothing can be learned of the his
tory of this wreck, and the oldest inhab
liant never knew of the spot, except as
the ''rock pile" which was a good oyJ-
fer reef. 1t is presumable, however,
that this was one of the vessels Of rhe
Spanish fleet and that was lost early
in 100.

Would Save the Old Battleship.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-It having been
announced some time ago that the old
line of battleship, the Foudroyant,
which the English captured from the
French, and which subsequently be-
came the flagship of Admiral Nelson,
was to be sold to be broken up, many
indignant portests have been written
against the historic warship being con-
demned to such fate. So strong was
the patriotic feeling on the subject
and SO many were the suggestions
made that the people buy the Foud
royant that Lord Mayor Evans gave
his consent yesterday to open Man
sion house fund for the purchase of
the ship. The vessel has been laid up
in ordinary for many years.

CURTIS TRIAL ON AGAIN,
A Man Who Cii.Isn, To lave Witnessed
the Fatal Shot to BE Present.


the Fatal shot to BE Present.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 26.-Tne case
Of NJ. B. Curtis, the actor, better known
throughout the country as "Sam'l of
Posen,' who is charged with the muir
der of Alexander Grant, a policeman,
on the night of Sept. II of last year,
is again on the docket for trial
IN the Criminal court. The life of the
actor has already once been placed in
Jeopardy and the jury on the previous
trial came within an ace of convicting
him of murder in the first degree, the
vote standing eleven to one. At that
time there was weak point in the
evidence of the prosecution owing
to the fact that none of the witnesses
would positively swear that it was
Curtis who fred the fatal shot. 1t is
now claimed, however, that J. w.
Cam, who lives in the interior of the
State, saw the scuffie between Curtis
and the officer from the opposite side of
the street, and that he saw the accused
shoot the policeman twice in success
sion, but that he did not inform the
police owing to the fact that he had
purchased his ticket for the next morn
ing's boat and did not desire to be de-
tanned in the CITY.

No Use for Hamburgers.

BERLIN, Sept. PA commercial
traveller named Kremer has been
elected from hotel at Velten because
his sample box bore a Hamburg label.
Kremer assured the hotel people that
he had not been in Hamburg since
May. The landlord disbelieved him,
and he was also rejected when he at
tempted to gain admittance to
other houses. Even the rail
way officials prevented him from
entering railway carriage and the
keeper of the railway refreshment
room declined to sell him ham sand
witch on the ground that it would
never do to fatten the cholera germs
which Kremer was supposed to
carry about with him. The unfortu-
nate man was nearly dead with hunger,
but not finding refuge anywhere he
was obliged to leave the town and walk
for ten miles before he could get shell
ter and something to eat. In the
meantime the people of Velten seized
the sample case marked Hamburg and
effectually disinfected it by setting it
on fire and burning it in the public
street.
