A LECTURE TO LAWYERS.
How They Giye Aid and Comfort to
Criminals of Every Degree ,
Tito HypocrlRy niul Hoplilstr.y of tlio
"lienriicil Counsel of tlio
rrlfldnor. "
T4 the Editor o ( Tim Urn.
The unavoidable complications of busi
ness , nnd the fallibility of human judg
ments , wnrjiod ns they are liabla to bo
by Bolf-ihtorost and prejudice , it becomes
necessary to have a class of men who have
made business rights and wrongs n pro
found study , nnd the laws that wore de
signed to define and oottlo those rights.
Again , the prevalent depravity of human
nnturo makes it certain that there will bo
violations of the property rights , liberty ,
reputation , and oven lifo itself , nnd the
resentments that the injured would
naturally fool , would go very far to dis
qualify them for an impartial nnd reason
able judgment of the proper redress of
their wronga ; so , also , a similar class of
men learned in law nnd the doctrines ot
hum i rights are needed ai counsellors
in criminal proceedings. Lawyers might
bo , and ought to be , benefactors of man
kind , by promoting the peaceable and
equitable adjustment of the differences
of men in business matters , and in promoting
meting the execution of criminal justice
and shielding the innocent from un
merited or 'unreasonable punishment.
There is nothing in the unturo of that
profession to warrant or justify anything
in the least unfriendly to either party of
the litigants. It is clearly the duty of
both , to Book to know tlio exact truth of
the cnso , and the honest rights of the
parties. It is clearly the intention of the
law , to secure the rights of the litigants.
The attorney : s put under oath to bo true
to his client , but cannot for n moment bo
supposed to bo by law opposed to the
rights of the opposite party. The law
cannot bo supposed to bo capable of so
solf-dcntructivo a thing as to make a law
for the protection of the rights of citizens - .
zons , nnd then create an influential class
and swear them to do their utmost to deFeat -
Feat the justice of tlio statute. That is
o doubt n false nnd corrupt iutorprotn-
ioii nnd application of the moaning of
lie "oath of an attorney. "
By being hired by n client to inanago a
aso iir law , ho acquires no right to inflict
wrong upon another , nnd thus defeat
ho real end of the law. And when ho is
mploycd in a criminal trial to defend a
irimiunl , it could not have been intonde
n his attorney's oath to bind him to deus
us utmost to defeat the criminal statute
and turn n villain loose to prey upon BO-
: ioty with increased boldness. In swoar-
ngaman to toll "tho truth , the whole
ruth , nnd nothing but the truth , " on the
vitness stand , it is clearly the design of
ho law to got fit the exact rights of the
> artios in the case
The attorney s oath is abused and por-
vcttod when ho docs his utmost to shut
out all _ testimony that bears adversely
fpon his .client's > ido , and by sophistry
, cd lying explain away what ho cannot
txclude. By the attorney's oath it was
ntondod to bind the attorney to BOO that
all honest testimony in favor of his client
ball bo admitted , and all false testimony
excluded , the law in the case fairly
luted , a fair jury secured , and kept from
all undue influence , and a fair impartial
hargo given by the judgo. Hero his
rholo duty ends BO far as tile design of
ho law is concerned. Ho has no more
ight in his professional character , to lie ,
deceive , prevaricate , use sophistry , irri-
ate , slander or nbuso witnesses on the
tand , than any other man. Ho is as
nuch bound to bo a gentleman there , as
n his own , or the witness' parlor. The
listory of our courts presents n very dlf-
'oront view of the law profession of those
days , and wo have reason to think that
'ts history for ages has not boon very dif-
, 'oront. In an old book of morals wo
read ' "judgment Is turned away backyard -
yard and iustico standoth afar oil" , for
truth is fallen in the streets , and equity
cannot enter lea. 09:14. : " Woo unto
you lawyers Luke H.4G. :
This is the condition of n country when
; ho courts of justice fail to protect the
ivos and liberties of the people. Cer
tain destruction awaits such a govern
ment Booner or Inter. There are aoiao
'earful omens of ouch n doom for our
country when vro consider the numerous
cages of violence unavenged that are re
ported in almost every issue of our daily
layers , Tlio public conscience is do-
jauchcd , BO that the most ihgraiit crimes
are committed with impunity in many
places. Ono city claims to have had
lutyoight murders , and only one capital
execution. Murders numbering many
thousands of the late slaves in the south
ire rarely if over avenged. General
Sheridan , whoa in command in Louisi
ana , counted 4000 in that state in four
years , for which no punishment was in-
iltctou. Murderers often walk out of our
courts in the north unrobakod , and
sometimes potted and lionized , with their
hands rod with innocent blood. Frauds
and peculations in high places , nud oven
armed rosistonco of revenue and election
laws , have boon common of late in uorno
portions of our country , and no adequate
redress has boon realized as yet , nnd it is
oven doubted , whether a remedy is prac
ticable. In almost all parts of the
country , justice is paralyzed by a destruc
tive interpretation of the rules of prac
tice in the legal profession. No matter
how vile n crime it man may commit ,
when ho is arraigned and presented foi
trial , plenty of lawyers for a foe , are
ready to move heaven and earth to defeat -
feat the purposes of criminal law , and
turn those dangerous men back upon the
bosom of society to practice their infonm
arts , witli increased boldness and suc
cess , because of the immunity they have
secured.
The methods theno criminal lawyers
resort to , ought to make a highway mai
blush for shame. They will assume lu
nacy , Bolf-dufoncu , or any other lie as
tlio theory of the defence , when they
know it is n lie , and then scrape all the
witnesses _ that the criminal can gather
among his confederates in crime , to
swear him clear , and the wilncssea on the
part of the prosecution no matter hovr
worthy and credible , are badgered ant
irritated nnd insulted BO that if possible
they may loio temper , nnd make some-
imprudent statements of which advantage
can bo taken to save the wretch. Ho is
oven allowed to employ the vilest cpi
thots against witnmea in the presence o
the court and a crowded audience some
times , and the witness must bear it in
silence , while perjured witnesses are
glorified by counsel.
These are no rare occurrences , they arc
common in criminal trials , and the result
is that the worst villains usually escape ,
nnd so6ioty is cursed with their exagger
ated influence ; n l respectable people
dread the revenges to which they are
liable from the liberated villains , and nl >
moxt equally the longuo of the unscrup
ulous counsel for the criminal , by whom
they must submit to bo badgered by the
liour without remedy , if they are com-
ppllod to testify in the case. Such men
is nro capable of such service are nothing
jotter than hired conspirators against law
nnd order. They nro "accomplices nfter
the fact , " nnd dcsorvo to bo treated ns
such. Their professional duty calls for
no such work in open violation of the
manifest intent of the law. Honest
men nnd women nro compelled by the
authoritative voice of their country , to
: omo forward to testify in court to facts
in relation to crimes in their neighbor
hood , nnd they must submit to any treat
ment which the counsel for the prosecu
tion may inflict , without reply , in the
presence of an excited community niton-
Live to every word. They nro sworn "to
toll the truth , the vrholo truth , and
nothing but the truth , " and their every
word that boars unfavorably upon the
culprit is ruled out if possible , explained
nwny , or ridiculed nnd discredited if the
court admits it.
The attorney who would scorn to speak
an impolite word in his own parlor or in
that of the witness , now in this public
ilaco , whore every word is not only
icard. but sure to bo echoed by an in-
luiaitivo press throughout the country ,
; ho vilest epithets , charges of Imso per-
| ury , nro thrown out with a sang froid
'
worthy of a billini'egiUo 'fish \ \ oinan. All
'or what ? To defeat public justice and
irocuro freedom for n villain. These
non are leagued with criminals ngunst
.ho peace and safety of society. They
are doubly criminal , because they not
only cheat the law in this particular case ,
Mil they multiply criminals and crimes
indefinitely , by the impunity nnd safety
.hoy procure for criminals. A more dan
gerous sot of men would bo hard to find
n the civilized world. Take them away ,
and rogues would tremble for their
safety.
Crimes would bo scarce if nil lawyers
would utterly refuse to help rogues to
escape deserved punishment nnd only do-
end them against in justice , and that they
nro bound to do virtually by their attor-
loy's oath , nnd clearly by their duty to
heir country ns citizens. Their false
> ractico is the fruitful cause of n largo
hnro of the crimes that aflftct civilized
countries. tkl
Every villain now knows that money , n
) orcontngo of his ill-gotten gains , will
irocuro nblr , influential , eloquent men ,
n credit with the court nnd the com
munity , to become his confidpntial allies ,
and by their unscrupulous trickeries , hy-
tocricies and lies ho can slip through the
ingors of justice , and go out to renew his
depredations upon society with increased
assurance nnd boldness , with a tried
'friend nt court" ready to lend n helping
land nt nny time. This attorney will
chuckle over his successful tricks in
cheating the law of a deserving victim ,
and his follow conspirators will con-
; ratulato him on his shrewdness in carry-
ng the cnso against both law and cvi-
lonco. They praise the ingenuity and
kill with which ho "beguiled the jury
ly his sophistries , and sent back to an
outraged community a man that had for-
'pitcd his right to citizenship , if not to
ifo. Plenty of unprincipled villains can
)0 hired at a cheap rate to provo an alibi
or anything else to save a confederate in
crime , and counsel is ready to use them
7Jth extravagant eulogy , to secure the
ibprty of one whom he knows to bo
; uilty , and deserving of condign punish
ment.
His dcsiro for a too and the glory of
rictory swallows up all his love of country ,
'ustico and order in society. If such
iboratod villains would turn and prey
ipon their deliverers , and give them a
astc of the cup they have mercilessly
mingled for their follow citizens , they
might possibly learn wisdom , but no they
must bo spared , for they may bo wanted
igain , and so the bitter cup to its dregs
s pressed to other lips. Thus all the
valuable purposes of government are
ittorly defeated , and by men who would
DO shocked to bo told that they nro dos-
stituto of patriotic virtue , and are using
ill their legal learning nnd acumen for a
'oo to thwart public justice , and utterly
destroy all that is valuable in govern
ment , and impose heavy burdens of taxes
upon the community lot rapturing , holdIng -
Ing and trying criminals to increase their
security and impudence , and give fat foes
to their respectable confederates. Gov
ernment ceases to bo of any value where
it fails to execute wholesome laws , and
jio is the worst enemy of his country who
is intentionally the cause of such failure.
His position ns counsel for n criminal
furnishes no justiGcation for any such
thing as is claimed for it , by the apolo
gists for these irregularities of the legal
profession
Ho has the name interest in the peace
and order of society as other men and can
not throw off these obligations. His at-
tornoy'n oath never could have boon in
tended to give him the right to forgot or
lay aside his common interest in the wel
fare of society , or that ho may cease to
bo honest , truthful , ingenuous , uolitonnd
gentlemanly even in cross-examining wit
nesses. Every attribute of n gentleman
is often lost in the defender of a crim
inal , and sometimes in civil suits. It is
most likely to bo the cist > when the ovi-
doneu of the prisoner's guilt is painfully
clear , and the defence difficult ; then des
perate measures are resorted to without
scruple.
How a citizen can DO far act aside his
obligation to his country as to go to work
deliberately to defeat the statutes of his
country , and help villains to evade the
penalties of just.laws by subornation or
wry-packing , or corrupting a jury , uplr-
Uing away witnesses , perverting valid
testimony by sophistry , misinterpreting
law , wearing out the patient public by
now trials at great expense , and making
criminul justice BO uncertain that lynch-
law ia font taking the place of regular ad
ministration of justice , is moro han can
bo accounted for on rational principles.
The man ia to bo pitied as well as blamed
who can rise no higher in patriotic vir
tue. Ho forfeits all reasonable confi
dence of his follow citizens. The only
ofllco of government ia to secure to all
the inhabitants "lifo , liberty and the
pursuit of happiness , " It accomplishes
this end by a system of moans that poinl
out to all the citizens certain duties , ami
forbida the doing of certain other things ,
to the harm and in violation of the rights
of others and by proscribing penalties to
wrong doora.
It appoints persons who are sworn to
arrest , hold nnd lawfully try and punish
evil doers. Every citizen is solemnly
bound to render his ean.est aid in carry
ing out these ends of government. It is
manifestly his duty to detect crime if
possible , and expose it and assist in
catching criminals , and freely , truthfully
and impartially giving testimony to the
proper tribunal , of all facU within his
knowledge that can assist in setting just
judgments ngainst violators of the rules
of society. No man can enter into any
compact , association or professional obli
gation that ctm exonerate him from thoeo
fundamental duties to civil society.
These civil obligations linvo a priority
over all other human obligations. They
antcdatonll other , and are of higher sig
nificance thnn any other can possibly bo.

What to GLvonn Prcdeiitu niul How to
Give Thorn ,
_ Ono of the annoyances peculiar to this
Li mo of the year is the difliculty every
body finds in selecting appropriate Christ
inas gifts for hia relatives nnd friends.
Ono may hnvo unlimited means at his
disposal and bo utterly at a loss to know
what to buy ; while another may have n
very largo knowledge of what selection
ho would like to make , but have no
means at his disposal. So far as our own
individual case la concerned , the chosen
few whom wo number ns our friends and
relatives belong strictly to the latter class.
The following suggestions will bo found of
value :
A husband in selecting a present for his
wife is confined to narrow limits. It must
bo either a , sealskin sncquo or diamond
earrings. "But , " some of our readers
say , "she may hnvo both. " To which
wo answer : It makes no difference ; no
10 wife will sniff at a sealskin sncquo era
a pair of diamond earrings , provided they
cast n little more than the ones shoalrendy
lian.
lian.A
A woman in selecting a present for her
liusband should first consider his comfort.
Consequently n pair of slippers is the
proper caper. If lip has'crodit nt n shoo
store , the loving wife will got the very
best. In former days wives used to
[ iialcQ the slippers themselves , entertain
ing the nbsurb notion that their husbands
might prize them moro highly on that
account. But those v , ore the days when
pumpkin pie was niado out of such
common truck as pumpkins , nnd didn't
liavo any nice nutmeg or cinnamon or
cornstarch or extract of vanilla or ylang
or hair oil , or any of those delicious in
gredients which go to makeup the modern
scientific pumpkin pio.
A sister should invariably present a
jrown brother with six hemstitched linen
lankorchiefs and a pair of bright-colored ,
25-cont cotton suspenders. To make the
presentation as ellectivo as 'possible she
should shed tears happy , joyous tears ,
ire moan , not those of a scalding , qrief-
.adon character , for at the glorious Yuletide -
tide time the hoirt should bo filled with
; lndnesa , not sorrow.
A brother should give his sister a pound
of French candy , a § 1.50 Jersey and nil
of his old neckties nnd scarfs for a crazy
luilt.
For the _ younger members of the fam
ily , the little bojs should have drums
and horns , and the little girls boxes of
paint.Wo
Wo arc n little bit timid in offering
advice to lovers. Our ochomo was a § 75
Christmas card , and a volume of Mrs.
Homans * poems bound in blue and gold.
That that scheme was successful can
bo info&Ujd from the fact that wo1 now
jpond $10 a month for shoes , ana
bought the second baby carriage only last
week.
The oldest son should receive from
Ids parents jointly a prayer-book with
a ton-dollar bill inclosed between the
ly-loaf nnd the cover. Ho will take good
: are of the prayer-book and the prayer-
book will take good care of the ten-dollar
bill.
Grandpa and grandma should bo re
membered in the shape of easy-chairs.
Anybody can sit in an easy-chair without
danger , and , besides , it helps to furnish
the house.
Outside of the family and among friends
one should spend as much money as pos-
niblo , or ho will bo looked upon as mean.
Your washerwoman should receive a
Christmas card. They can bo purchased
this year for ono cent , which price brings
them within the reach of the poor nnd
lowly ns well as the high and mighty.
Another very nice present for your wash
erwoman , and ono that she will appre
ciate , ia to pay her what you owe her.
If the above suggestions arn acted upon
yule tide over the holidays in good
shape.

Mr. Ikecher throw IIIK sealskin over
coat across the back of a chair atPlymouth
church last night , and blowing the cold
off the end of his fingers began to preach
on solf-governmpnt and control. IIo said
that every man is the result of forces that
have boon acting down towards him for
centuries , but that every man has a

said the preacher , who are of wonderful
intellectual ideas would atarvo to death if
they had to work for a living , Men of
practical notions Bay what's the uso.of
these intellectual "Mghfalutm" things ?
They never reach for thorn but to pull
thorn down and milk thorn. Multitudes
of men are shocked when they hear of
any wit associated with a man while in
prayer.
"Why shouldn't I flash wit before
Godl" said Mr. Boachor. "Didn't ho
make it ? There is not ono single part of
a man's nou ! tluit ia not necessary to sal
vation. Suppose n literary man should
decide to leave out the letter 'A from hia
writings ? Suppose a musical composer
should decide to leave out a certain note
from his anthems because ho thought it
was secular )
"Mirth , " continued Mr. Beoehor , "is

[ Laughter. ] Many of your ideal preachers
are so afraid of being thought too pro
gressive that they blow out nil the lights
from their aormonu , nnd their Bormona
consequently are very eolid and very
stupid. Its considered quite decorous to
snore in church by aomo men , but oh
my , how sinful is , that congregation tha
laughs out loud.

AVhon the erection of GrACe church was
: ommenctid in 1831) ) the intention of the
building committee was to erect astono
spire , in koaping with the rest , of the
building. With this understanding the
walls wcro tntulo sufficiently strong to
support it. As the tower grow in height ,
however , the funds grow surprisingly
loss , nnd by the time the lower sills of
the long Gothic windows near the top of
the tower wore reached it was found nec
essary to run light wnlls from there u\ \ )
and surmount them with ft wooden spire.
It is for the purpose of strongthining this
Karl of the tower that pulleys hnvo been
auling materials into the boll loft for
the last throe months. Tlio bells , eleven
In number have been * boxed up and sent
down , and will not bo re placed until the
spire is completed , oomo time next sum
mer. The spire itself is to bo built of
what is called Itarian marble , from the
quarries of West Rutland , Vt. , and will
cost when completed about $00,000. The
style of architecture will bo in keeping
with the rest of the building , what is
technically known ns decorated English
jothic of the second period ( from 1807 to
1377) ) . Commoncimj nt the top of'the
tower , eighty.fivo foot from the ground ,
the spire will bo of an octagonal form the
cornices edged with beads for n distnnco
of fifty-throe foot. At thnt point it will
torininato in a cap center fo'iago ' on
which the gables above will rest. At the
same point the octagonal form will take
nn eight turn nnd run a tfimplo shaft to
the apex , a distance os sixty-four feet.
On the upper shaft the corners will bo or
namented with crockets , tciminuting inn
very .elaborate finalfrom which a tvvolvo-
foot cross will rise. The intention is to
light the cross by electricity , but serious
Ipubts are entertained as to its practica
bility. The pannols in the lower spire
will bo filled with tessellated work , and
this , together with eight flying buttresses
and four tracery windows , profusely or-
oamonled with gothic foliage , will give
; ho spire a very much carved appear
ance.
ance.Tho old spire had its ghost story ,
vhich , among the superstitious , was the
rue reason for its demolition. It is posi-
ivoly asserted by the aforesaid class of
> eoplo that at 3:15 : in the morning of n
: ertain day in the year not mentioned ,
.ho chimes would ring a most weird bar-
nony ; a phantom form would appear in
, ho tower , which upon pursuit would re
cede like a will-o'-the-wisp and vanish in
to the upper recesses of the spiro.
When the now spire is completed it
rill bo 214 foot high , making the thir-
ocnth spire in Now York over 200 feet
n height.
Old Trinity spire , of course , is the
lighest , not only in Now York but in the
: ountry , being 298 feet from the ground
ino to the top of the cross. It was the
irst stone spire commenced in the coun-
; ry , though the spire on the Presbyterian
church at Tenth street nnd University
) lnco a much smaller one was finished
irst. Both spires are of Little Falls , N.
T. , stone. In Trinity n staircase loads
o within 50 foot of the top , the first 70
cot being of solid stono. The Trinity
itecplo is in the perpendicular style in-
reduced when gothic architecture in
England , has assumed its last and third
ipriod , between 1300 and 154G. It com-
) inos the stiff statcliness and sharp angles
of the first or early English with the pro-
use decoration and curved lines of the
second.
The four niches in the tower of Trinity ,
jolow the clock , were built toTeciovo the
sCatutos of the four evangelists , but for
some reason these have neverboen , placed
.hare , and their original use now seems
a have been forgotten.
The most striking landmarks in Now
York , whothercoming up the bay or down
ho river or overlooking the city from the
loights of some steeples , are the bridge
owors. Devoid of all architectural beauty ,
heso piles of stone attract the eye by
heir simple massiyencss. Perhaps , the
> cst place from which to see the city , cer-
ainly the place from which most people
do so , is the bridge itself. From this
mint not only are four hundred church
pires are visible , but at least half as many
moro domes and towers of public und pri
vate buildings. When this century was
roung but three would have boon notico-
iblo , of which only ono is now standing
St. Paul's , opposite The Herald ofllco.
ta spire ; which was at that time a
narvel , is oven now among the highest
n the city. The other two the old
3rick Meeting , which stood where The
Dimes building is now and St. George's
chapel , at the corner of Bookman and
vlilt' streets have long since boon de
molished. Thosp who have over taken
ho trouble to notice have doubtless won
dered why the spire on St. Paul's was
> laced at the back of the church instead
> f on the Broadway end. When the
church was built in 170(5 ( , Broadway at
.hat point was but an insignificant lane
and Church street quito nu important
thoroughfare. But when in later ycais
Broadway' _ was opened and Church
street sank 'into insignificance , the old
entrance was stopped up , the Broadway
[ ortico built and the facing of the church
reversed.
An interesting story of neglected genius
is connected with the same church. It
was modeled nfter St. Martin's-in-tho-
Fields in London ; nnd though much
superior to the original , and one of the
Quest specimens of Renaissance architec
ture in the city , the name of the architect
has boon lostand , the mauwhosomomory
would to-day bo honored as a master in
his profoMion is unknown.
A great monotony in steeple-building
is noticeable in Now York , the orthodox
form being a single front spire of gothio
design. In England a double front of
throe towers is the favorite , while on the
continent a double front of two towers
and the center tower are most frequently
seen. As an old architect remarked. "A
center tower , with its necessary columns
in the church , wouldn't do for our Amer
ican ministers ; they want an open space
like a theater. "
