(Spfclal Corrrsiionilenca.1 Ciiioaoo, Sept. ft. When Luther Ijtf. Iln Mills gooH to u rural court hotiso to defend or prosecute nn accused person, thero nscoiuls n loud chorus of nriorn Hon. I naked John lUtchlo, tho great short Imnd rojiorter, If Luther Lnllln Mills wero n grent orntor, llko tho reputo of Pntrlck Henry, Iitirko, Webster, nnd so on. John Itituhto nnld Luther Lnllln Mills was just that kind of shaker. To sit before this Chicago tunti when ho might bo prepared for n big speech was, In John Itltulilo's opinion, a prlvllcgo not to 1h) waived. I bavo consulted many persons less critical; I bavo read tho press of Chicago for thirteen yearsj I liavo visited tho ndvocnto and meas ured minds with him: I bavo felt tho In timation Hint ho wan a dlstitiKuished mnn n genuinely grcnt man, not tho glass of any fashion, but tho mold of nn enduring form. t.UTllF.R LAFMN MILLS. In 1870 I tint In n pow of tho First Con gregational church at Chicago and saw n family file Into tho stall ahead of mine. Fntbcr, mother nnd children took their places with that air of familiarity which comes to tho regular attendant, striking th6 young stranger with forco. At tho nlslo end of tho pow was n youth who at onco challenged my interest. At 23 I romombor I talked much of "afUultlea." Hero was my affinity. I llkod him. Ho wns bored. I wns sorry for him. But ho was tho ptcturo of good nature. Tho Bolomnest organ lmtor nnd psalm singer of them nil would not hare lost tolerance for tho puuling look that at onco settled on tho boy. Thoro was a clover expres sion in tho faces of his sisters. It said in effect that tho brother was now to have a bad quarter of nti hour, nnd tho brother's look rcspondod with tho thought that ho would it wero only a quarter. Yet with tlio preparation for tho ordeal ho fell asleep, Tlio forelock tumbled on his faco, thoro was n sister ly rumpus nnd tho ohastenod sinner nroso to sing. Through tho sermon my licro ringored upon tho vergo of dreamland. Already enlisted in his servico, I could bavo pushed him well over the happy border. Evldontly liking him as well, tho sisters wero busy with tho salvation of his good namo in tho rich Hock. I left tho church, believing that habit hnd mndo tho Sab bath's oxpcrlenco pleasant to all parties. Tho youth was not annoyed. Tho sisters wero jealous that ho should keep all the proprieties. I inquired about him In tho congregation. Oh, yes. That was Lu thor Lnllln Mills already with tho long nnmo, you see tho brightest member of tho Society of tlio Golden Fleeco, an as sociation of tho young church people, which disbanded when some deacon de clared It to bo t matrimonial agency. Would that all wickedness might perish with n resistance bo fcoblot Only four years later my young man wns elected state's attornoy for Cook county. That is, it fell to a lad to prose cute all tho criminals of this region, to movu against all tho enemies of tho pco plo, to address courts nnd confront tho devil in all tho aspects which my lord tho devil puts on at Chicago. Of tho samo age myself, I remember I was glad it was not I who was to bo tried. The eight following .years wero remarkable for tho oratory that decorated tho prose cution of justice In Chicago. Talk goes for everything in court. Tho state had tho orator. Young or old, celebrated or merely ambitious, nono of the Chicago lawyers, Bavo Emory Storrs alone, had a golden tonguo to watch tho voico of the state which spoke In the mouth of Luther Lnfltn Mills, Every caus,o In. courl was a great event. Tho trial of tho county commissioners (a 'periodical thing in Chicago), tho trial of straw bailors, tlio trial of Alvlna McKeo, tho trial and death of Sherry and Connolly tlieso maticra sufficed to set tho town talking of our orator. It remained for Judgo McAllister, in granting anew trial for one Burns, to out-Herod all tho panegyrists. "This prisoner," said tho most ominont of our jurists (dead now), "was undoubtedly convicted by means of that peculiar in definable power which tho state's attor noy possesses over juries. This hilluencp, which not ono out of many hundreds of our bar possesses, is a fact not to bo ignored on motions for now trials', fori havoWn taught by expe rience and observation that with a law yer of only ordinary ability opposed, tho state's attornoy, in nine cases out of ten, will secure a vcfdlct of guilty, not only when there is a Want of ovidenco to sup port it, but a clear preponderance against Llm." It Is needless to say that all subsequent juries wero refreslied by citations of 'Judge McAllister, as a proof that the thief :ln haul ought to go free. Tho murder of Ofllcer Race; tho trial of Xanib and Frledberg; tlw trial of Angell, Peter Stevens and his murdered child wife, as tho city editors loved to head the BAltaBBJEHb L , Mmfk 3iu rr L n.?r TiBBLtBBM case; Dr. IJarll; tho trial of tho gam blers; tho trial and hanging of Tracy; tho trial of Theresa Sturlata and her Im prisonment theso outlines recall n long match of excitement a pulling nnd sin cere praising of tho young state's attor ney such nn has no parallel in western experience Envy, malice, tcmptntlon nroso on ovcry hand. Tho man who onco carried 13,000 ox Ira votes to his ticket at last lost ninny to his rival Grin nell; ono groat prosecutor gavo way to another, and cloquoncn grew still In our coutt rooms. Tho unrivaled advocate went to his private ofllco imd passed from tho visions of terrified knaves to appear as tho pillar of their supKrt. I dislike such a trans action, but It has been nccompanled by mnny bright apparitions of noblo oratory in defenso of tho right. It hnn reliovcd tho scene of mnny nrtlllclal lights. It has left Luther lnllln Mills his natural grandeur. When ho ajwaks, wlso men gnthor, excluding tho fools. Tho tribute from friend nnd foo, from client nnd op ponent, from debtor nnd creditor, hns always twen llko tho renowned McAllis ter's. God mndo Luther Lnfltn Mills an orator. Of late years tho most notablo appear nnco of Luther Lnllln Mills out of Chi cago has been at Columbus, 0., In tho tally sheet caBes, whero ho confronted John McSwcenoy. Luther Lnllln Mills carried with him tho nroma of celebrity. Ills fnmo sat about htm, nnd when ho ipoko I swear to the lender that won drous garment did not fall olT. Tho press reported his speeches. Of McSwcenoy and Mills tho leading editor said: "Tho former waB known before ho cntno here, nnd tho greatness of tho lnttcr has licen tho nnmr.liig fenturo of tho trial." What Is orntory? Why hns It died when men still lovo It so denrly? I enn only say that I bnvo It from Luther Lnf lln Mills that there U no elocution. It does not exist. How does ho look? Small, growing stout, a wan, sparo face, a beautiful eye, n piercing, earnest gaze. All tho arts of sudden pleasing aro In him nt their summit. Ho Is charmed to meet you. Ho knew your father, or saw your horeo, or noticed tho sign over your door doubt not that you aro famous with him! If you ho a scribe, come into his sanctum nnd let tho knaves wait. Notlco tho literary bee that buzzes In orators' bonnets. What Is tho dllTercnco that separate tho twain nrto? Who can tell? I am proud Chicago has a great orator, yet I might wish orators wero writers. If I transcribe a speech of Lu thor Laflln Mills notlco always tho long namo I shall mnkohim simply a writer, rho dark eye. tho menacing finger, tho terrifying earnestness whero nro they? I seo him standing in a cemetery at its dedication, "Tho gravo yard," says that sweet voico, "Is tho world's great pulpit. No custom hinders, no prejudice prevents; men, women and children gather around It. Grief sings a song of tho heart, mem ory recites tho virtuoB of tho dead to eager cars. Faith preaches tho immor tal life and all tho voices say, 'Amen.' " I cease to quote as I think of tho decision of Judgo McAllister, for what man was over swayed out of his reason by the Handing to dim of a written poem? How could I quote tlio "Marguerite" of Nils son, tho "Prodigal Son" of Dubufo, tho opening chords of tho overture of "Lur llno?' It cannot lo done. I can only bear testimony that my great city has an orator whoso namo will forever em bellish our annals. Raro as is tho gen ius of public speech, tho genius still re mains. As Montnigno in his lovablo twenty-seventh chapter tells mo that friendship exists and that tho ancients looked for It as tho Jews for tho Mes siah, so I look upon this raro mnn of our valley an orator appearing among men to excite them wl(h fires that clsowlso must smolder. Sometimes, however, nm impatient that oratory should bo apprenticed to tho trado of law, and earn its bread llko a ahoomalcer. John McGovEnx. New York Firemen' Monument. New York, Sept. 5.
