$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.
Adopted yeas 192, nays 47.
The House then went into committee
of the whole (Mr Hatch in the chair) on
the Senate amendment to tbe river and
harbor bill, the pending question being
on a motion made by Mr. Hewitt, striking
out the clause for tbe improvement of
New York harbor. lie withdrew the
amendment, being assured, he said,, that
the object he denired to accomplish
would be accomplished through he me
dium of a conference committee.
The committee . then rose, and the
Senate amendment having been non
curred in, the bill was sent to a confer
ence. A struggle arose for priority of
consideration between the inter-State
commerce and the Northern Pacific for
feiture bills, which was resolved, yeas
142, nayi 99, in favor of the former!

Ihe latter are manifestly and 'avow

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
