WisHinoioii, July 21 SATB.-Tlie $enate at noon proceeded to the consid eration of the report in the matter of the election of Senator Payne, and was addressed by Mr. Pugh in advocacy of the position taken by himself, Messrs. SauUbury, Vance' and Kostis, , to the effect that there had been no expres sion of belief or suspicion on the pari of any member of the committee to the off ct that Senator Payne was connected iu the remotest degree, by any actor knowledge with anything wrong, crimi nal or immoral in his eleotion, and that ino further investigation of the charges nhould be made. Mr. Pugh criticised the vicwp of the minority (Messrs Hoar and Frye) and argued tht they were in conflict with precedents jof the Senate in former cases of similar character. He hd merely desired to present the case briefly, and now, in the name of seven out of the nine members of the committee on privileges and elections, he moved that that com mittee be discharged from further con sideration of the subject. Mr. Hoar addressed the Senate in support of the views of himself and Mr. Frye, recom mcnding.au investigation of the charges. Mr Logan took the floor to reply to tbe argument of Mr. Hoar to sustain the views expressed in the report signed by himself, Messrs. Teller and Eyarts, to tbc r fleet that an investigation should not be instituted by the Sen ate, and that the committee should be discharged from its further consideration. lie said that the smoke of a lamp would not be discovered on any peroration that he would make, but he would present a plain proposi tion on the law and facts. In a lone speech, full ' of his characteristically vigorous methods of expression, he qualified the action of himself and bis true Republican colleagues and devoted a large measure of his time to replying t. the attacks! of the Ohio Republican press upon Messrs. Evarte, Teller and himself. He read from the Cincinnati Coirniercial-Gasette some of these at tacks, which, he said, were intended to bully himself and his two eo-signers into actions contrary to their Jiense of duty and right, and he made a counter attack upon the political reeord of Murat Ilalstead. He also read a let ter from Lieut. Gov. Kenned v. to adjournment nntil Ongrws bnd paH"'"! upon nucli measure as 'Mi; ititer-Stair commerce, bankruptcy, polygamy aud the copyright bills. Mr. Willis thought that it would be unwise to agree to a resolution which would put it into tbe power of a small minority to prevent any action upon important measures. The Senate I was not in a condition to adjourn. There were three appropriation bills pending in that body and the surplus resolution remained unacted upon. In advocating tbo resolution, which he said was nothing more than informa tion to the Senate that the House was readyto adjourn, Mr. Morrifou referred to the surplus resolution, aud remarked that he did not think that it would even be heard of in the Senate As to the measures which it was said nhould be passed he directed attention to the fact that if the members would only, cease talking and go to work they could all be passed previous to adjournment. Mr. ltced said 11 c country was satis fied that Congress had' 1 ad a fall trial, and that it could do n tltiug better than in -ike an attempt at final adjournment. The concurrent resolution was agreed to ayes 145, nays 36. , . , Mr. Morrisou then called up the res olution setting apart Thursday and Sat urday of this week for the consideration of the bill for the incres.se of the navy.

The committee . then rose, and the Senate amendment having been non curred in, the bill was sent to a confer ence.

The men who would re sort to such vile, attacks were men who did not desire the success of the party, but. rather desired the destruction of certain men who would not bow! to their beck and call. He would not repeat the words that were said to him, as to what would be done if he bowed to the de mand made of him and violated his con science. If he had done that he would be a good fellow.

So, too, it , ought to be, that the pro fession whose occupation it, is to aid id the government of tho world, and with out which it seems tho world ciunot bi governed, ought not to eontuc itself the separate and ndi?iaual exertions o its members 'for private end?; but i should give its collective wisdom in de vising and commending the best r lniik and measures for the public g-od Ihe latter are manifestly and 'avow edly tbe objects ct this association, it winch 1 pray God it may havp abund ant success. Uf the lawyers come the judges. It was not so at first. Origini- ally governments were patriarchal,, and then tribal; and then -they changed anq grew from one form to another aecorot- mg to circum8tsnces. Tne Bible, whicl aside from its divinity is the wisest and most wondrous book in the world, mr forms us that of Israel, after it . was rescued from Egyptian bondage and be came a nation, woses was the only judge. And he sat to judge the people "from morning until evening. But the labor was found to be too heavy for him. And he was advised to provide-4- not out of the lawyers, for there were none, but out of "all the people, able men, such as feared God, men of truth!. bating coveteousness. After their se lection, Moses charged them, saying: j "Hear the causes between your breth ren, and judge righteously; between every man and his brother and tbo stranger that is with him. Ye shall nqt respect persons in judgment, but ye shall hear the small as well ' as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the fade of man; for the judgment is God's; axd the cause that is too hard for you bring it to me, and I will hear it." That is a graphic - description of the character of a judge, his ofhee and duties. 1 At that time the administration of Justice was prompt and summary; and probably none the worse for that. It was made convenient to the people. The judge sat in the gate, or in the street; and was treated with the greatest re spect and veneration. He is graphically described by Job, who was himself a judge. He said. "When I went through tho city to the gate; when I prepared I my seat in the street; the young men saw me and hid themselves; the aged arose and stood up, the princes refrained from talking and laid their band on their mouth, the nobles held their peace and their tongues cleaved the roof of their mouth; when the ear heard me then it blessed me. and when the eye saw me tnen it eave witness to me. i was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. I was a lather to the poor, and the cause which 1 knew not I searched out. And I broke the jaws of the.iwickcd, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth." With some allowance for the eiffej- enoe between a semi-barbarous people, as the Jews of that day were, ind tb:s highly civilized age, that is s-tui .i yod delineation of the diguity, beming aud offi e of a judge, and the veneration in which he is held. To judge well re- quires the exercise oi tno uignebi qualities oi the r.uuiau intellect and tie best impluses ot the human heart, and commands tne nigncBt revereHOfv ; i W e are authorized to say that the j administration of justice i. the highest human office. It includes the whole science of government the making, the interpretation and tbe execution of laws; and the highest of thcao is the interpre tation of laws. Anybody can make laws which may be good or bad and any one can execute them that has a sword; but to obey the charge that Moses gave to his judges to hear the causes between your .brethren, and judge righte, ujy between every man and his brother and the stranger that is with him; to hear the small as well as the great; and to fear the face of man requires the highest attributes of human nature. So Solomon thought, and so God himself declared. For when Solomon suooeeded his father David to the throne, God, desirous of bestowing on him the best gift, asked him what he should give him ? Solomon recounted the great Slings that God had done for David, and the great things He had done for him in preserving the kingdom for him and making him king of so great a people; and then, as a gi eater and as the greatest blessing, he asked God to give him an understanding heart to judge the people, that he might discern be- tween good anu Daa. .na uoa saia: "Because thou has asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, tior riches, nor honor, nor the lives of khy 5 em tire s In. l hnT. giren thee a wise and under fi iifli; beirt, so that there wais ao;ie like tli. before thee, neither after thee hliall any rrisc like untothee." And then immediauly following is tho account of tbs:ci- braied ease, in which he delivered the judgment which made him famous the.wrld over, until this day. ' "V: A judge's wisdom consists not alone in his learning. This, without the power to discern between good and bad, ie of little worth. Solomon had no precedent, and quoted no authorities for his wonderous decision; but he was guided by his good sens", by his knowl edge of human nature, and by his wise and understanding heart. I would not bo understood. a saying that much learning is Lc-r iserOMary for a judge; or that a reasuU'ib v display of it is unbecoming; bu it iny be that in jomo caws there is too u;ui:U draining after what somebody eie said in slightly similar casm I nuke this sug gestion tucidly, as I tiisy have tinned myself in this regard; )ut t !i laziness to take the Iiy ami irrelevar t thoughts ef then, te fill up a iong opinion; very learned and very silly, instead of fol lowing tho example. f Solomon, to give the thoughts of a wipe and understand ing heart on tho v;ycse in hasd. We have now &eeu to character of a ' judge, his dignity and office, and the reverence due and paid him by the young, by the aged and by the noble as described by Moses, by Job, by Solo mon, and by God himself. But it is the judge uf the superior court, that holds his court in the gate, as Job did among the" people, that has the opportunity to exercise tho greatest influence. It is still true that the youn aoake. way fur him, the aged arise an stand up, and the noble keep eilenoe ' before him; and this out of reverence for his office, without regard to tbe man. No judge can hold his court without exercising a decided influence . on the bar, on the suitors and witnesses, : and on tbe crowd. They listen to him, j hang on his words, and if he has a wise and understanding heart they lean on him and trust him. It is a high duty ' of the bar to cultivate and to encourage this reverence for the courts and judges. Any failure in this is grossly unprofes sional, and ought to exclude from mem- ; bership in this association. There is, however, a danger which a judge should guard himself against.. The . respect and deference which is justly 1 paid him may generate self esteem, ar- j roganoe, pride, haughtiness, oppress- sion. And these or anyone of them, i unfit him for; a judge. Moses, although tho ohief judge and leader of his people, was the meekest of men. Job; although the'greatestof his time, was the humblest and most patient of men. And Solomon, j although tbe wisest of any age, was the-; simplest of men; and said: "I am aj little child; and know net how to go out, or how to come in." Meekness, 1 humility, simplicity ard wisdom,. 'are qualities of a good judge: and they are as requisite at this day ss at any age of the world. . I , X ' Tho Cholera In . ftaljr.
