WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington , D. C. , Jan. 18 , ' 85.
It may not be generally known or be
licved that Chief Justice Waite will nev
er again preside over the deliberations
of the Supreme Court , butl have it fron
undoubted authority that the'Chief Jus
tice is afflicted with softening of the
brain , and you know what that means.
The fact that the Judges of this court
are overworked cannot be gain-saycd , for
they work nearly all the time and are
still at jeast three years behind in the
preparations of the opinions in cases that
involve not only vast financial interestb
but grave constitutional questions. The
Chief Justice is anxious to get to work
again , but his associates know too well
what is the matter , and they have in
formed him that as they can carry every
thing that is now pending without diffi
culty , he had best remain at home and
rest up. iAlr. Waite is not much above
sixt } , and Judge Taney was thirty years
his senior when he retired from the
bench. Judge Nelson was seventy-sev
en , and Judge Cranch nearly that when
they retired , but these eminent Judges
retained their mental faculties to the
last moment. Though Judge Taney had
really attained his second childhood , he
had the sagacity to conceal it while on
the bench , and it was only when Con
gress made provision for judicial senili
ty , that he became conscious that he was
getting beyond the days of usefulness.
The Chief Justice of our Supreme
Court gets ten thousand five hundred dollars
lars per year , whiie the Associate Jus
tices receive ten thousand dollars. The
five hundred flollars addition is not be
cause of the additional dignit- that at
taches to the position , but because the
Chief Justice really does more work
than any of his brethren. For instance ,
all the motions that arc made on motion
day ( Monday , ) have to be considered and
determined upon by the Chief Justice
alone , besides which he is expected to
bear his full share of ihe other work of
the court.
In the matter of the writing and de
livery of the opinions of the court there
is as much variance in the manner of
these nine Judges as one could possibly
conceive. While Stanley Mathews and
Ha an are verbose , and exhaust both
tli j vand the patience of the court in
the reading of their opinions , Gray ,
Blatchford , Bradley and Miller arrive
directly at that point and strike the mar
row of the issues involved without cir
cumlocution or other judicial travail.
Justice Gray particularly , must be cit
ed as an exception to the rule of those
Judges who read their opinions from
manuscript , because , although his opin
ions are written , they are delivered off
hand , in an easy conversational style
that gently lets down the litigants on
both sides. Justice Field cannot be said
to be much of a jurist , although he ac
quired something of a reputation as a
railroad lawyer. In fact a first-class law
yer will not go on the bench , when his
own practice is worth anywhere from
two t6 five times the salary paid to a
Supreme Court Judge. At the time
that Mr. Conkling was offered the Chief
Justiceship by President Grant , he per
emptorily refused and told the President
that he had at that moment a case in
which the retainer was larger than the
salary of the Judge for a whole year.
DOM PEDRO.
SOME time ago the southern people
hated the Inter Ocean because it told
the truth about them. .Now they like
it because it upholds the New Orleans
exposition and defends it against the
croakers who pronounce it a failure. In
both cases the paper is right , and the
incident simply serves to show that people
ple are greatly governed in their esti
mate of papers and other things by their
own interests and prejudices. Topics.
AT a sewing circle all the women
were talking , and some of the subjects
got hopelessly confused. For instance ,
the subject of crickets and church
choirs. "I never heard suoh a horrid
noise as they made last Sunday , " said
one woman , referring to the choir. "Nor
I either , " said another , thinking sh j re
ferred to the Fall crickets. "They say
they make that noise with their hind
legs.5' Cleveland Leader.
A TEXAS cattleman married a refined
youngjady belonging to the best socie
ty of Dallas. A friend meeting him
shortly after his marriage congratulated
hinr on his happy fortune "It's all
right , but I had to make sacrifices , " re
plied the newly-made husband , shaking
his head. "What sacrifices ? " "I've
had to give up going to bed with my
boots and spurs on when I come home
tired. Texas Siftings.
' MADAME PATTI wrote in a Boston
album the other day : "Go to strangers
for charity , acquaintances for advice
and to relatives for nothing , and you
will always have a supply. "
- FOR a man who lives in a $50,000
mansion in Washington , Senator Yari
Wyck seems to understand the trials of
"the suffering farmer" pretty well.
