The iconoclastic COlrieT-JORr7dL firm
" declines to join in the adulation ac-
corded to the Captain and Chief En-
gineer OF the Umbria for their conduct
on the last perilOus trip of the Cunar-
der. II positively refuses to see any
thing even approaching the heroic
about it. In fact, it asserts that Capt.
MCKAY took great and grave risks with
the lives Of his passengers in order to
avoid having to pay heavy salvage to
any steamer for insurlng the safety of
his vessel. 1t says:
A serious accident occurs at a stormy
season, in mid ocean. IL is idle to say that
that there was no actual danger; escape
proves nothing.
The danger incurred was great, and
greater danger was threatened. A faith
ful officers first duty was 10 take every
preCaution 20 put the safety Of his passen-
gers beyond question. The next was TO al
lay their natural fears.
Instead. Capt. Mckay invited new perils
in order 70 protect the revenues Of his CON-
pany. Ee allowed one ship which could
have given him valuable aid TO leave him,
under the impression that the Gallia would
render all needed assistance. As soon as
il disappeared he gave signals to the Gallia-
which sent il too on its way, leaving tie
Umbria with a broken shaft az the mercy

Censure.
"All's well that enGs we'll" we say, but

JUDGE C0WAN'S ADDRESS.
The Eminent baltimore Corporation
Lawyer speaks to the Meeting.
c,,e-.nk Telsyrlga 10 re Re1istsr

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, January 3 -
Judge John X. Cowan, the noted corpora
ton lawyer OF Baltimore, delivered the an
nual address to the Bar Association last
night IN tue Lincoln Club roOms. The at
tendance was quite large. embracing aside
from the legal fraternity, many leading
citizens and quite a number Of ministers
and members OF other professions, all OF
whom doubtless expected literary treat.
They were in nowise disappointed in an
aesthetic aud literary point Of view
The theme Of the Judges essay was an
economic view Of constitutional interfer-
ence with Individual contract.
The discussion, as an Oratorical effort,
was a most excellent one The word paint
ing was done by the hand of a scholar, at
whose command words and phrases flowed
as smoothly and brightly as living stream
Of water. His language was as ornate and
hOwery as LafcadlO Hearn's beautiful pen
portrait Of La Pelc, the MAGNIFICENT noun
tain OF of MartiniGui, in which that author
pictures the Mountain IN such sympathetic
comprehension of the beautiful that it re-
veals him almost q necrOmsncer, making
the reader feel a vanished personality in
the power Of living presence.
His knowledge OF, law enabled him IN
his comparisons Of cause and effect in Its
relations 10 the subject discussed 10 guide
his theoretical craft through the shoals
and breakers Of solid substantial fact.
Among the law quoted in which the law
was supposed TO interfere with private
contract 10 the injury of the people gen.
orally, was the Interstate Commerce law;
the Maryland law interfering between rail
railways and their employees; the anti
option law, and in fact many other statutes
which the Judge, from his economical stand
point argued, was an Interference in indi-
vidual liberty.
It is not presumed that the Judge made
many converts 10 his theory, but he most
certainly did entertain his hearers
with one Of the finest addresses
from an oratorical standpoint delivered
in this city in long time. He is pleas
ant speaker: has an easy, fluent delivery,
and has an astounding command Of IAN
guage His deep and intimate knowledge
OF constitutional law; his intimate &C
Quaintance with legislatures and legisla-
tive methods; his surprising store Of apt
and apropos quotations from law, sacred
and prOfano history and the facts, together
with his subtle ability to make deeply
metaphysical ana aostruce subject appear
not only laughable, but almost q versity
showed him 10 be man OF mastery nina.
As an essayist the Judge has few
superiors; as a scholar he is eminent, and,
doubtless, as a lawyer he is worthy 10 wear
the ermine. Such must have been the
opinion Of those who listened TO his ornate
essay on an economic view Of statutory aud
constitutional interference with individual
contract.
