Who would have thought that a inure lawsuit was to develop such a foieo as that represented by Kd win M. Stanton? Yutit wasuveuso. Tor years prior to l&'O florco legal hnt ties had taken place tiutwccu the then two great rivhl manufacturers of leap ing machines, Cyrus W. McConuIck, of Chicago, auiP.lohu U. Manny, of Hook ford, Ills. Tho question was one of in fringement in tho use of the cutter and certain other devices. Finally tho cate reached the supreme court of the United States, nud there tho giants among the lawyers met in final battle. Manny had secured the services of Mr. Peter il, Watsou, the .leading patent counselor In Washington, a man of marvelous ability and splendid executive over, mid In trusted to him the entire itiauagemeut of Ills case. First paying him a retaining fee of $23,000, he authorized n further expenditure of 11 very largo amount for tho employment of such additional legal aid at! Mr. Watsou might select. MeCormick was represented by Ed ward N. Dickenson, one of Now York'B most famous lawyers, James II. Qiflord, and other distinguished counsel. With Mr. Wat Kin were associated Mr. James II, iionwick, now a distinguished archi tect In New York, at that time Mr. Watson's paitncr; George Harding, of Philadelphia, IMwIn M, Stanton and Abraham Lincoln Messrs. Watson and Ileuwlck assumed tho task of tho prepa ration of the cam, Including tho hundreds of models mid other exhibits. To Mr. Harding was assigned tho duty of de scribing these and presenting tho his torical phases of tho case to tho court; on Mr. Stanton was imposed tho burden of review and argument, whilo Mr. Lin coln was to hold up tho Illinois end of tho lino, as tho ablest man who could bo selected to represent tho vast interests at stako there. Whether ho was present in tho supreme court on this occasion 1 do not remember, but his shrewd coun sel is still preserved among tho records of the case. It is unnecessary to pursue these de tails fuithor. They uro only mentioned for tho purpose of Introducing tho fact that Mr. Stanton then made ono of tho strongest and ablest arguments of his life, not only deeply impressing the members of tho supremo court and elicit ing their praise, but producing a pro found sensation among tho members of tho bar generally. That it equally af fected his associate, Mr. Lincolu, goes, without saying. Mr. Stanton was again called to Wash ington in 1630 ns ono of the counsel to defend Daniel E. Siqkles, then a room ber of congress from Now York, for the shooting of Philip Barton Key. His 8tH.'och on that occasion was again a masterpiece of eloquence and no ono who hoard him will over forget tho man ner or tho man. Ills associates were v'lDflv&Xi Brildv (Ujld JollO Wtahurn. thy most distinguished crtininnl lawyers of the day, Messrs. Chilton, Mngruder, Ratcllflo and Thomas Francis Meagher, tho Irish patriot. As In tho MeCormick and Manny ase, to each was assigned his respective part, and on Mr. Stanton devolved the most important duty, that of crystallizing and bolidifyiug tho work of tho brilliant men around him. If it had been but tho ono speech of his life that speech would have umdo him famous: and Abraham Lincoln knew all about it indils far away Illinois home. When tho verdict of "not guilty" was returned, tho emotions of the counsel il lustrated their several characteristics, and uono of them inoro strikingly than those of Mr. Stanton. James T. Brady, in spito of nil his cxtwrience as a criminal lawyer, became pale, nervous and agi tated. Staut6n, unable to repress the feelings that swayed him, nhnost rivaled David when ho danced before the ark of the tiibcrnaclo. lie literally jumped up and down, waved his handkerchief. bhouted. cried and joined in the general hullabaloo of the moment. People in war limes never saw anything of this ion. Tho usual stolidity of Radcliffo and Chilton gave way and both wept like children, while tho warmhearted Irish man, Thomas Francis Meagher, iu the exuberance of his feelings, clapped peo ple on tho btick, and with tears streaming from his oyea asked if it "was not glori ous. '1 ho only passivo and undemon- stiatlvo lawyer In the group was John Graham, though ho was ono of tho first to welcomo his client back to freedom. And now comes the crowning point in Edwin M. Stanton's career his selec tion by Abraham Lincoln as a member of his cabinet and secretary of war. But he was not Mr, Lincoln's first choice. Tho man on whoso executive ability in that department ho pinned faith and whoso admirnblo qualities of head and heart ho greatly admired was Peter II. Watson, tho organizer of tho great Manny-McCormick suit, in which they had been associated four years before. Mr. Watson, however, With a furseeiug vision, discerned in tho near futuro tho necessity of a man who would grasp tho eword hilt with a sternntw of which ho was incapable, and ho declined the honor. Lincoln then offered him any place within his gift that would keep him near his person as an advisor, and this was also declined. But Mr. Watson suggested the uamo of Edwin M. Stan ton ns a man abovoall others adapted to cope with tho dangers of tho crisis. No nnmo could have suited Lincoln better, lor ho easily recalled the great lawyer's achievements. Dow Stanton accepted tho portfolio of war secretary and crformod his duties to the end, all tho world knowe. History will take caro of his memory. Llko Mr. Lincolu, however, ho wanted hy his side tho man in whom ho recog nized the genius of organization and work, and ho insisted that Mr. Wat son siioiiid nirepf. im office wliero, lu tho gteat emergency, his counsel could tie of avail. Thus appealed to, both as a friend and a patriot, hu at last consent ed to servo as an assistant secretary of war, and entered upon the erforuiimce of his duties. When the secret history of Lincoln's administration Is written, it will doubtless be found that tho confi dence reposed in him was not misplaced, Some years after tho war It will be re memWred that Mr. Watsou was chosen hy tho stockholders of tho Erie Railway company to reorganize its affairs, at 11 time when they seemed to bo lu an ut terly hopeless condition, and he was elected Its president, but the task killed him. After extricating tho road from its pending troubles ho retired irom the office, sick and weary and went homo to die. Tho object of theso memoranda, how ever, is not to write tho history of men, but to lllust.atu, as iu the Instances of Lincolu, Stanton and Watsou, tho truth that Tliero'it it illt Inlly tlutl nlmpvs our ends.

There lutvo been several men of distinction who have lieen thought by their friends to resemble iu their physical apiieaianco President Lincoln. Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, is one, and Senator C11II0111 is another. Cullom, however, resembles Mr. Lincoln more lu his mental traits and in his absolutely democratiu man ner thau ho does physically. When Mr. Lincoln was in tho height of his fame, In fact, when he was beginning to gain a national reputation, Cullom was just beginning the practice of law iu Mr. Lincoln's old home In Spriugllcld. Some thing in tho young man attracted Lin coln very greatly, and a friendship sprang up between them which is ono of Mr. Cullom's most precious recollections. Even then Mr. Lincoln predicted a prom ising political career for young Cullom, and had he lived hu would have seen that promiso become fact. There are many who think that Mr. Cullom's ca reer may not end with his service as United States senator. Mr. Cullom's olitlcal career was very rapid. While still a young man he was elected to congress, and there, while making no brilliant display, ho won the coufldenco of his associates be cause of his sound common sense, Ids industry and a singular gift of forecasting politi cal events and judging public opinions with ac curacy. He also won a peculiar popularity in Illi nois as one of the plain people who had been en dowed with linn SKNATOH CULIXDM. intellectual gifts. Ho wns easily elected governor, ami on tho retirement of David Davis from the senate took hisVat and has since been a member of that bod v. Mr. Cullom's striking characteristic in public life has been ltf? earnestness, sin cerity and contempt for sham and con ventional dl.plav. He was known um ono of tho industrials, and not ono of tho snowy members of tho senate. A few years ago, lielng impressed by what ho reganled as certain ovlls, or dif ficulties is perhaps tho better "word, in railway management, he set to work to discover a remedy if possible. Labor lug sympathetically with Mr. Reagan, then ft inomber of the house, and af ter ward associated with him in tho senate, ho brought up for discussion and finally secured tho passage of what is known as tho interstate commerce law. It was ono of tho most important pieces of legis lation that congress has enacted for many years. It carried on to tho stat ute books an affirmation that congrest :ould control tho railway commerce be tween the states to some extent, at least, jwst as tho supreme court had years lw fore declared that tho government could :ontrol commerce on navigablo waters. As to the effect or tho ojieration of this law there is somo dilTerenco of opinion. But in securing it Mr. Cul lom accomplished what many more showy bonatora than ho linvo never been nblo to accomplish, and that was tho so curing of legislation of radical impor tance and tremendous possibilities. Mr. Cullom is still lu tho vigor of his days and ho is frauk enough to admit that there might bo contingencies which would make him nn availnblo candid'ite for tho presidency. Mrs. l'helps Wuril. New Yoiik, Aug. 87. Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Wnrd is in better health this summer than sho has been in years. Since her marrlago sho has by herself nml in collaboration with her husband accomplished an extremely largo quan tity of literary production.
