Fsank Carpenter in New York World ,
The inside history of the executive sessions
of the senate which made the continuation of
Morrison H. Waite possible by the rejection
of the two former nominees , Landuulot Wil
liams mid Caleb Gushing , has never been
told. It was given to mo to-night by the private -
vato secretary and contldential friend of one
of the senators who took part in the conllrma-
tion. When Chief Justice Chase died Presi
dent Grunt first tendered the nomination to
Iloscoo Conklinir , who was then forty-one
years of age. Conkllng declined to accept
the position , and when asked why , replied
"that ho preferred some other way of being
buried than by taking a seat upon the supreme
premo bench. " Grant then sent in the nomi
nation of his attorney general , George H.
Williams , of Oregon , who had been chluf Jus
tice of Oregon territory , mid who was noted
nsa lawyer , but who , from his extravagant :
equipage , which ho drove about Washington
at the oxpeuso of tha government , was
dubbed "Landaulet" Williams.
Williams was rejected , and the secret of
rejection lay in the extraordinary beauty of
Ills wife. Mrs. Attorney-General Williams
wus by all odds the greatest beauty among
the Washington ladles of that day. Her
only rival was Madame Cataea/.y , the wife of
the Hussian minister , who is considered ono
bf the most beautiful women in the world.
Mrs. Williams was tall , well-formed and
graceful. She had a beautiful , rosy face ,
ark-brown hair mid blue eyes. She was an
accomplished conversationalist , and her so-
ciiil powers were such that she was envied
nud hated by the wives of many of the sen
ators. She hud somewhat the same record
na the wife of Andrew Jackson , in that her
first husband was a brute , and In that hoi-
divorce was secured by the aid of Williams ,
who afterward married her. The wives or
the senators could not hear to think of the
social reign of Mrs. Williams being perpet
uated , as it would If her husband became
chief Justice of the United States for lifo.
'X'hoy quietly talked ttio matter over together -
gether , and it was their influence with their
usbands that brought about the adverse
votq which secured Williams' rejection ,
President Grant became very angry at the
nctlon of the semite and ho asked a number
of the senators whom ho know had voted
against Williams as tq their reason. They
replied that Williams was not a great enough
lawyer. Grant said nothing , but ho aston
ished the republican members of the senate
ono day by sending in the name of Caleb
Gushing aschlof Justice of the United State * .
Tills was just ufter the passage of the consti
tutional amendments relating to negro suf
frage , and the radical republican members of
the senate considered it very important that
a chief Justice should bo appointed who
\vould bo in accord with the most pronounced
views of tha republican party as to these ,
They were opposed to the selection of any
man whoso party tldcllty wus
questionable , and they were astonished
at the presentation of the name of
Caleb Gushing. Gushing had been a whig
member of congress in 1641 , and ho had , as
Pareon Hrownlow said at this time , gene
over to Tyler and been paid for doing so by
being made commissioner to China , and ho
negotiated , I think , tha first treaty between
that country and the United States. Ho had
Veen in President Pierce's cabinet as attorr
ney-gencral when Jefferson Davis was secre
tary of war , and ho had introduced William
L. Vancoy , of Alabama , at a meeting at
Jijoston , and i had indorsed a ; state rights
speech which Yanccy had tuado there iu
1660 , Oil this ground inauy of the repub
licans deemed his nomination .and , appoint-
inouVinadvisable , and no ouo''supposed ho
would bo confirmed. Some of the senators
remonstrated with Grant. Ho replied that
ho had not known of Cushing's record , that
ho had offered them a man sound in
Williams , but that ho was not a good enough
lawyer for them , but now he hud given them
a good lawyer and they were not satisfied
with him as n politician.
Charles Sumncr was not thought to bo in
favor of Caleb Gushing , and the two had
been enemies , nnct no one thought Conkling
would support him. When the matter came
up in the cations of the Republican senators
Sumner made mi ardent speech in his favor ,
and 13en Hutler assured the senators that
Gushing was now a strong republican , and
that ho was in accord with the amendments.
Parson Hrownlow said ho could not vct8 for
Gushing , and accused him of being a polilical
prostitute. Ho had been approached by a
private secretary of ono of the other senators
and had been assured that Gushing was a
strong republican. Ho had replied that ho
had no doubt that ho would promise to bo a
republican in the future to get the position ,
but as for him ( Hrownlow ) ho would a
thousand times rather vote to confirm
as chief Justice such democrats as
Allan G. Thurman , of Ohio , or
Bayard , of Delaware , whom ho regarded
as honest men. Nevertheless , after Hout-
well , Gonkling and Sumner had vouched for
Cushing's future , the senate felt inclined to
confirm him , and ho would have been con
firmed had it not been for Senator Sargent
of California , who rose just as the vote was
about to bo taken and throw a bombshell into
the senate in the shape of a letter taken from
the archives of Richmond. It was a copy of
a letter taken from the papers which Pickott ,
who had been connected with the state de
partment at Richmond , had carried off and
sold to the United States government for
* * 0,000. It was a letter from Caleb Gushing ,
dated Washington. 1801 , and it was ad
dressed to Jefferson Davis , president of the
Confederate States of America. It was a
letter of introduction , and read somewhat as
follows :
WASHINGTON , 1801. Hon. Jefferson Davis ,
President of the Confederate States of
America My Dear Sir : This will introduce
to you Mr. Archlehibuld Roono , who has
long been a clerk In the department of jus
tice at Washington and who is anxious to
link his fortunes with yours. Ho has re
cently patented a valuable gun , which I have
no doubt you can use to advantage , and I
commend him to you , CAI.EII CUSHINO.
After the reading of this letter a silence
fell upon the caucus , which was only broken
at thu instance of Parson Hrownlow , who ,
then ill and unable to talk , got Senator
Lewis to make a motion for him , and this
motion was : "That this caucus of republi
can senators now adjourn , and that the sen-
nto bo convened in open session that it may
remove the political disabilities of Caleb
Gushing , of Massachusetts , That's all. "
There was a laugh at this motion and the
caucus adjourned. Grant , on hearing of the
action , made no further movement in favor
of Gushing , and when Waito's narao was
proposed some time lutor ho received every
vote cast and was unanimously confirmed ,
ills nomination was discussed only an hour ,
nud during this time speeches were made by
Sunnier , Thurinan , Edmunds and Sherman.
Chicf-Justlco Walto wus a man of strong
friendships , and Judge Edgorton , of the
civil service commission , was the friend of
his lifetime. Ho dined with him regularly
every Sunday since taking his place on the
civil service commission , Ha met Chicf-
Justlco Walto when he went to Ohio as aland
agent , about llfty years ago , Waite was then
n young lawyer at Muumeo City , a little
town Just out of Toledo , and Edporton was
in charge of the Interests of the Hicks land
company , which owned a great part of North
western Ohio. Edgcrton then received a
salary o f 1,000 a year , and Waito's fees were
small and not numerous , Judge Edgirton
describes the trip the two took together in
1641 , and ho suyss "I had Just been
married , and my wife was at Hicks-
vine , a town twenty-eight miles from
Dftlanco. I met Waite at Defiance , and I
proposed to him that wo come over to Hicks-
villo und spend Sunday with mo and call
upon the bride. Wo started on horseback ,
but a cold rain storm oauio up and wo were
drcnchcu to the skin. Wo stopped at a cabin
to remain over night. It was a little affair
of ono room and an attic. The pioneer's
wife hung up a blanket before the fireplace ,
and behind this the future chief justice and
myself stripped and dried our clothes. Wo
slept In the attic , and In the morning , upon
pulling on my stockings , I found a hole
through which my Wg toe thrust itself. I
pulled oft the stocking and turned it wrong
side out and put it on the same foot. Again
the toe came through the hole , and Waite ,
who was watching my agony , said : ' 'Why
don't you put the stocking on the other foot
and then the little too will bo in the hole. " I
I tried this plan and found it a success , and
with this began my admiration for Judge
Waitc , which steadily increased as I knew
him better "
Mr. Edirerton speaks in the highest terms
of Judge Waite's intellectual ability. "He
had , " said he , "a line memory and he was a
man of broad reading and culture. Mr.
Peixotto. who painted the recent portrait of
Judge AVaite for the Ohio Society of New
York , tells mo that Waite scorned to bo con
tinually studying on his cases while he was
giving him his sittings- and that ho would
fre < juo"ty ! nxcu.se himself and go to his li
brary , take down a lav. ' 1'oolt and look up a
reference , and , in fact , Chief Justice Waite
has been one of the hardest wonted mem
bers of the supreme court. The supreme
court's docket is over a thousand
cases behind , and Mr. Waite had felt that
this burden of work ought to in some way bo
reduced. As chief justice , he had more to
do than the other members of the court , and
he considered every Monday the lot of mo
tions then submitted to the court. The chief
justice passed upon these motions alone , and
many of them required much looking up of
authorities. Ho cornea of a long-lived family ,
and had his system not been run down witli
overwork , ho would probably have thrown
off the attack which caused his death.
Ex-reprcscntntivo W , D. Hill , or northern
Ohio , was a young lawyer thcro when Waite
was doing some of his first practising. Ho
tolls mo that Waite was honest in his law
practice and in his dealing with his clients.
Ho did not make cases , and in case ho
thought a compromise would bo to the ad
vantage of his client ho always made it. Ho
charged small fees , and in ono case
which Mr. Hill cited , for the writing
of a brief for an important case re
lating to Defiance county , ho charged only
$ . )0 where other lawyers would have charged
? 1COO , Mr. Hill describes to mo his first
ifiecting with Judge Waite : "I was , " said
ho , "a young lawyer , and Waite had already
inudo a reputation. I had a case to try in
which ho was counsel for the opposite slue ,
and I went into the case with fear and
trembling Wo took the testimony in pri
vate , and when it was nil collected wo sub
mitted it to the judgo. Then Mr. Wiilto
asked mo to go and take lunch with him.
accepted the invitation. During the lunch
Waite told mo that ho thought the court
could Just as well settle the case as the
judge , and asked mo if I was willing that ho
should fix the terms of settlement. I replied
that that was rather a strange method of
procedure , and that I would like first to
know the terms , Judge Walto then made a
plain statement of ttio Justice of the case ,
and I found that his idea as to a settlement
was exactly the same as mine. I don't believe -
liovo that ho over advocated the cause of a
dishonest client , and he seldom charged
largo fees , Ho has some property In Toledo ,
and a son , who Is a lawyer there. "
The chief justice docs not leave a largo
estate. Representative Hill estimates that
ho may have been worth ? 200,000 , and his
house hero l worth at least ? 10,000 , Ho paid
2-1,000 for It , but It has doubled in value , and
the ground upon which it is built Is worth be
tween three and four dollars a square foot.
The chief Justice has not been an extrava
gant man in his livingthough of recent years
ho has spent considerable In traveling , both
for himself and his family. Ho was n man
of social traits , and ho was punctilious in his
social observances. Ho appeared regularly
at the Wliito House receptions , and. though
dignified , ho was not pompous , and no had a
friendly smile for those ho talked to He was
unassuming und approachable , and ho was n
man who attracted the attention of strangers
wherever ho appeared , Straight , broad-
shouldered and stout , with a big
chest , ho was rather under than over
medium height , His big , dark , iron-
gray head was fastened firmly to his
shoulders by a rather short neck , and his
dark complexioned , pravo face had a thick
growth of wiry dark beard , mixed with
gray , about its lower part. His eyes were
largo , black and full of feeling and thought ,
His forehead was broad und its eyebrows
well marked. Ho dressed plainly In conven
tional black clothes , were a double-breasted
frock coat and a tall hat. Ho sometimes
rode to and from the capitol in a street car ,
and nevertheless ho fully appreciated the
honor of his position and the respect that
should bo accorded .tho bench. Whispering
in the coart room Among the visitors always.
annoyed him , and ho would not , permit it to
go on long without notice. With him at its
head the supreme court has been the most
dignified official body in the country , and in
his trying of cases , lawyers tell mo he paid
not so much attention to the technicalities of
the law as to the equity of the cases. It is
remarkable that during his long judicial
career ho has never been accused of dis
honesty or partisanship in his opinions , and
the United States will bo fortunate indeed if
his successor is equally Honest , experienced
in the law and possessed of a like amount of
judicial ability.
