TUB? CHRISTIAN LAW V f2R. - A.\ KXTKAOT, * * * But passing this point, per mit mo to notice sumo things which bcloug in uu especial manner to thu sphere of tho members of tho Bar: 1. As members of a profession designated to promoto tho peaco of society ami tho maintenance of rights, you are spocially bound to repress ult unjust litigations ttud i promote tho peaceful settlement of disputes, j I om perfectly aware of tho character of tho ground on which 1 stand iu this und another remark it is my purpose to nuke; and I am equally aware that tho ground has been made doubtful and dolioato, not by its own nature, but by want of that nico sense of justice, that elevated morality, and that puro Christian feeling which ought emi nently to characterize those who Ol'O tho ministers of tho law. Thcro aro no persons in the world thal occupy a position so favorable for fomenting quarrels, for stirring up litigation, and encouraging tboso\who may havo some right on their aido to ex tremo measures; neither aro thcro any who hold a moro favorable position for calming tho excited passions and removing tho un just prejudioo.-t of clients, for preventing ruinous suits, o?cotiug u mutual reconcilia tion, and so scenting to both parties tho croat ends of justioo, without tho qxooorba tion of feeling and pecuniary loss of an open rupture and public trial. There oro cases constantly occurring where tho power and tho right aro on tho ono sido, but tho inability and disposition to do right aro on tho other; where it is in tho power of an advooato either to ruin tho weak by au im mediato prcssuro or to save him by a just accommodation, There aro other cuses where thcro is but a nominal right on thc ono sido, and tho real right is on thc other; but where, by fincsso and cunning tho nomi nal muy carry it over tho real. And thcro aro others still, where thcro is no right at aii; wheo thcro is villainy weaving hiu net of technicalities and obsolete statues around tho unsuspecting und rho innocent for thc solo purpose of plumier; whero tho heart less wretch has taken tho law for oovcr to his iniquity and socks, through tho very bauds of Justice, unjustly to prey upon tho hard-earned properly of another. And tho question, in regard to all tlioso cases, is, whether tho lawyer is plaocd in his position and clothed with high authority to not in behalf of his follow-man, morely that ho may gather n livelihood or u fortuno; or whether ho is not a minister of law and justioo, bound to promote tho right, protoot tho innocent., and advance tho peace of society; whothor ho is sot apart ns* a public hack, to bo ridden for a foo whercsovcr tho baso aud the vile may direct him; or whothor ho is not a sworn advooato of tho right and true, whoso imperativo duty it is to allay strife, frown upon villuiny, und koop his hands pure from tho oppression of tho ia? uooont; whether ho is bound to lend him self, os a party and an advooato, to nil wi") claim his service?, whatever bo tho nature of their cause, and so prostitute his mind to tho bssost uecs, make his kuowlcdgo of all tho imperfections of thc law, his tact in tho conduct of suits, and his power of oloquonoo (one of tho greatest gifts of heaven), means to defeat tho emla of tho law, overturn right, and exalt dishonesty to h?r 6.?at? I admiro tho answer of un Omi . neut lawyer of this city who, when applied to to conduct nu important ecclesiastical suit, after a long ond faithful examination declared to tho party wishing to employ him: "You havo no right to this proporty cither in law or equity, und I cannot under take your causo." Thoro is an obligation which Christianity imposes upou your pro* fession-an obligation which must bo met ono ?uy iu oiroumstanoos of awful solemnity -to uso tho position of power you occupy, to dlsoountonanoo all unjust and useless litigation-all litigation open to compro - mise or involving tho practical subvoreion of tho rights of individuals and tho poaoo of sooiety. 2d. As tho'minister of law, created fot tho botter scouring of Justioo between innn und mon, and its reign oil through society, you aro bound to seek tho oxooutiou ot justioo, tho punishment of tho guilty, and tho supremacy of tho laws throughout tho community. Hero, I am nwuro, comos in all tho nico casuistry, whioh many master minds have elaborated, respecting the right of every man to a trial, and thc necessity of a thorough advooaay oo both sides of tho question to tho fuller elucidation of tho right. And on this general aud vexed question it is necessary ouly to say, lliut tho lawyer, of all men, needs to fortify his con soienee by a thorough study of God's word, and givo dclioaoy to his moral perceptions by a thorough yielding of his heart to tho grcut principles of Christian truth; thou, bearing in mind tho sophistry of selfishness, commit himself to tho guidance of a judg ment thus strengthened, aud a moral souse thus well informed und sensitivo to evil. But thoro is ono class of cases, whiob, it sooms to mc, no judicial maxims, uo legal precedent:) cm render consistent with tho spirit of a puro Christianity, By what rule of justice; by what maxim of law; by what prmeiplo of Christianity can tho do liberate advocacy of known guilt bo recon ciled with tho originul purpose of tho law or tho conscience of a puro minded advo oatci' I speak not now of doubtful oases; L speak of those, in which tho advooato himself knows that hit client is guilty, that his efforts, so far froiu securing justioo to bini und tho community, aro designed to contravene tho onds of justice und scud forth a criminal into society lo prey upon its peace! By what principio of justice; by what code of morals; by what rulo of Christian ootiou is tho legal udvocato per mitted, ofter tho facts have been fully in vestigated, to blind thc minds of tho jury by tho power pf bis oloquence, to throw tho whola force of his personal character, loaming, tact, gonitis and goodness on tho sido of oriiuc; to stand up beforo his follow citizens and doolaro his conviction ?of tho innocouco of ono whom bo knows to bo guilty? I do not spoult of a hypothetical ouse; but of a praolioc .sanctioned by Borne of thc most eloquent men at tho bar, in this aud other landy.* Is this tho teaching of Christianity? Is this tho ministry of j us tico? Is this prostitution of reputation aud genius to tho abetting.of crime and shielding of villainy, on tho assumption that tho advocate bus nothing to do with tho character of bis cause and his client that bo is bound at any ruto to loud his aid protecting tho criminal from tho copae queuacs of wickedness; is this oousiotont with tho iutcgrity und uprightness of a Christian charuotor? ls this tho faithful ministry of justioo, and thia currying out tho purpose of that law by which socioty is to bo protected and hoi* rights main tained?'-Rev. S. JJ'. Fisher, Cincinnati. ^Phillips, tho oclobratod Irish ?ploadcr, solomnly declared beforo o jury his convic tion of tho inaoocnoo of his client, nt tho very limo whoa tho confession of his guilt waa in his pocket, roady to bo produced, on conviction, to ?un elim a to tho force of tho scntouoe. T.I i ti Bearii! Murder Case. What Special Counsel Earle Said to a, Washington Reporter. A truth seeker nttuohed to tho Post mot Mr. W. E. Earle, special counsel for tho im prisoned rovenuo cOicora in South Carolina, last night, and asked him tho result of his confcrcnco with tho Attornoy Gonoral. "Wo haven't roached any conclusion as yet. I hu vc hud several conferenced with bim, but wo havo not determined upon a course of notion. Besides, I would not oaro to say anything about it, if wo lind. My intended course in this caso will only bo known ns tho case develops. I sec tho popers uro quito positive in their .statements as to what hos boon and will bo dono, but they uro entirely unfounded." "Popular sentiment in South Carolina is said to bo very much in favor of tho illioit distillers, and opposed to thc revenue out. oorB?f"' "Well, South Carolina is misroprosontod in this instance, as she hos boon in so many others. 'The facts arc that tho pcoplo favor tho obsorvnnoo of tho rcvonuo lows/' "Was uot thc decision of Judg* Kershaw and tho withdrawal of tho reword by Cov. Hampton for tho arrest of tho outlaw, Red mond, dono in obedience to a strong popu lar fooling?" '.No, sir; it is not truo in oitlier oaac. I om glad of this opportunity to soy, in regard to Judge Kershaw, that thoro is no more conservative, conscientious Judgo in tho circuit than ho. I have hean! him myself, in open court, apeak of tho necessity mid importance of ouforoing tho rcvonuo laws. As to that decision, it is strongly stated aud has sonic good points. But I differ from him in regard to tho power of tho general government, and hence this diifurciioo of opinion.' Thoro aro o th er lawyers there who toko tho snmo ground os tho Judgo docs. In fact, if there is any public senti ment at all, it is tho anxiety to have tho United States Supremo Court scttlo tho question-about whioh thoro is considerable dispute-in regard to tho powers of tho Stato aud National Qovornmonts us to questions whioh this 0?80 involves. Tho Judgo is not a whito liuor nor a revolution ist, ns many would havo you believe." "How do you oxplnin Governor Hamp ton's chango of baso in tho Redmond wat ton"' "That is a very siuiplo thing. Governor Hatnptou fu un d ho had bcou u little too prouiutuvo in offering a roward for tho arrest of Redmond for breaking opeu tho Piokoos County jail. It was proven to him that Rodtnoud neither lcd tho party or aided in tho rescue of tho illicit distillers, and so ho vory properly withdrew tho roward. Now, pcoplo have a mistaken idea about Redmond. Ho is nothing but au ignorant, sorub moun tain boy, with very little iofluoooo. Nor is1 it truo that theso distiller? aro popular heroes. You must understand tho oountry in order to appreeiuto tho oondition of affairs down thoro. Illicit distilling is confined chiefly to tho mountains aloug tho extreme Western border of tho Stato. Tho pooplo aro ignorant uud uncultivated. Thoy uro far romoved from any market, with poor carrying facilities. Ry grinding thoir corn oud putting it iuto whiskey, thoy roduoo it to portable form, and increase its market value, and thcu they dispose of it to tho pcoplo io tho valleys. But in tho valleys, another state of affairs exist. Hero you find prosperous formers', flourishing towns, and oxtousivo plantations. Now, to this class of people this illicit trafilo is hurtful, and thoy uro opposed to it. Thoir servants and field hands got druuk and become dis orderly. Why, in thc past six years, I have uovor had any difficulty in getting a jury to punish au illicit, distiller," ..When do you intend to leave tho oily?" "1 can't toll, lt will probably bc some days before 1 got through." "What will becomo of thc caged rovenuo officers all this time?" "Ol thoy aro safu and comfortable enough in the Greenville prison, whero thoy will bo weil protected, and thoro is no danger of tho illicit distillers getting hold of thom as has becu hiutcd." lt may bo well to add that tho internal revenue officials bei o fear no outbreak in case Juclgo Rood, of tho F?deral Court, goes down there und holds n special session for tho trial of theso cases. Commissioner Hourn understands exuotly tho true osuso of thc trouble, and thinks ho has discovered u remedy. A tow days ago ho propurcd a circular, which was sent to all tho collectors in that section, urging thom to do all that they cnn to cnoourago tho establishment of legal distilleries. Tho temptations which result from thoir isolatod position, and tho natural facilities for tho businoss aro almost overwhelming, and tho Commissioner pro poses to legalizo, as far as possiblo, these temptation?. [From thc Atlanta "Weekly Constitution.] Till-: FAIR. Atlanta's Great Annual Exposition What thc North Georgia Stock ?and Fair Association Promises-A Glance at the Many Attractions. Wo arc going to havo a big fair. It will begin on Monday, tho 21st day of October, uud run through tho week. It is not saying too UUloh lo predict, that it will hy all odds bc thc largest and best fair EVER HELD IN tl KOKO! A. Everybody who knows tho mon who are in charge of tho North Georgia Stook und Fair Association know that thoy will not fail in this project. Tho attractions of the fair ?ro to bo plainly stated to all tho pcoplo of Georgia uud tho surrounding States, and they will bo sure to come and seo for them selves. Next week thc promium list of tho association will be out. They will bo oircu? liited almost everywhere, and will attract exhibitors from all quarters of tho country. These Hats will show that the aggregate of premiums o?ored io 814,500, which will bo most judiciously distributed iu tho various deportments. Resides tho regular premiums offered by tho association, there will bc a largo number of special premiums offered by individuals. Tho enterprise and public spirit of Atlanta nover had n better oboiico for display. Thc reputation of tho city is largely nt stake io tho fair, and its sucooss will bo a great, honor te Atlanta. Aa it is now arranged, it cannot fail. A vory brilliant programme of various attractions is offered nod will be carried out to tho lotter. Among tho many things to attraot and entertain tho crowds will bo THE I-'INE RACES, which oro ouro to bc inducod by tho 34,500 offered in premiums. This amount is 80 arranged in purses ns to givo raoes every day after Monday. In tho frco^-for-all running r?.co thoro will bo $1,000 offered and $1,000 will be offoved in tho frco-for-all trotting moos. Theso vory largo purses will bring us sumo of tho best horses in tho country, and will givo suoh races ns have not been seen before in Georgia. There nrc sovorol other largo purses, both for running mid trotting. Tho horsomon will havo enough to attract them, and they will come in troops from Kentucky and other Western States. Georgia raised horses will havo a fair chanco, as thoro aro a num ber of premiums for thom. Resides tho 84,500 offorcd by tho nsso elation, tho hotels aro expected to offer at toast two handsome purses. Wa may, thcrcforo, look for five days of brilliant rooof on an oxoellcnt trnok. This is what draw? tho orowd. Pooplo will go to horso races and they will flock hero. Wo lourn of r number of famous hornes who will eurol" bo hero. THE MI LITA HY CONTEST will attraot almost as much attention as an> fbafuro of tho fair. Instead of tho littlo$50( Usually offered, wo will have $1,300 iu pro munns tor tho boat drilled companies, and tho contest will bo opon to tho world. All, .tho Atlanta companies will ontor tho lista, and wo hear of sovoral of tho oraok compa nies, of other Stutcs who think of being herc. Tho St. Louis Cadets will probably bo on hand. Tho Portor Bili?s, of Nash ville, muy bo counted on, and Memphis will send tho "Chickasaw Guards." Knox. Ovillo has a oraok company sho proposes to put io, while Charleston will sood US two of her superb military organizations. Others uro thinking of coming. All tho cities iu Georgia will probably bo represented. Au gusta, Macon, Savannah, Columbus, (iridia and Albany, arc all looking at tho fino military prizes with a wistful cyo, and nearly every ono of them will put in an honest effort for it. The finest military display known io Georgia ainco tb.o*wur may bo oxpeoted with confidence. Resides tho $1,300 in promlums for white companies thoro will bo 3175 o flor od for thc boat drilled nogro company, and when wo say there will bc n dozen entries for these premiums wo do not exaggerate. TUB VELOCIPEDE TOURNAMENT for boys will bring out all tho little fellows with their "flying machines." There will bo a handsome lot of prizes nrrangod for boys between 4 and 12 years*. They may oomo from anywhere Those tourna ments uro moating groat intorcst whorcv'or they uro hud. They will interest thousands of children who will bo prosont, and thou sands of oidor poople who lovo to soe thc little ones havo u good time. 1 THE MULE RAGE. ' Wo did not speak of tho mule raoo with thc other raocs, for it is a diffcront*8pcoies of fun. It is richer than any horse raoo C7cr run. There is something so poetically uncertain, and 60 fascinatingly wild about a mule race that bo who secs ono novor wunts to soo any othor stylo of raoing. Fifty dollars is offered for tho mulo who leads thc raoo. Every mon who hos a pot mulo may uow win fume both for himself und his pct. Thoro may bo twonty entries, for thcro'b lots of luok in a mule race, and 350 is worth running for. THE NEORO FOOT RAOE. promises to bo ono of tho richest points in tho whoto lint of attractions. Twenty-five dollars will bo given to tbo darkoy who oan moat effectually ?get up und got." No race will cause moro mornmoot or or?ate moro real oxoitoment than this. Wo have Damed a few of tho spooial attractions. Besides these thoro will bo a full list of premiums for stock, agrionlturul produots, fowls and all tho things usually exhibited at a fair. Tho premium list is by fur the best uud moBt judicious over offered in tho Stato. Arrnngomonts will bo modo for remarkably low rates ou all thc railroads io tho Stato and many outaido of it. Thcro will also be the ohccriug assurance that no matter how munv pooplo oomc they will all find PLEA8ANT ACCOMMODATIONS ia Atlanta. The association will so arrango it that all who como will find ampio room aud at very low prioe?. Already we oan assure tho publia that good board and lodg ing can be had hero during tho fair at one dollar a day. The fair grounds will bo put in porfcot ordorj and vrill look botter tb un over boforo Trains and stroot oars will be ruo to the vory gutes every tou minutes, and if wo havo thirty thousand visitors wo oan easily accommodate thom. Tho fair is ovor two months off, but its success is ccrtuiu. Letters of inquiry are reaoived daily by the secretary. Lot overybody come. Wo will bo prepared for them. CHARITY.-If thoro in ono graeo moro clearly taught in tho Bible than any other it is tho graco of giving-tho groatost of all tho groat Christian virtues. Wo hove heard it said that Abbeville pays too much for tho support of thc gospel-that hor preachers and churches cost moro than four thousand dollars a j ear and that this is "too much money to invest in firo insuranoo." This is not oven a business view to take of thc subjoct and is as fallacious as it h com fortable to tho consoienocs of thosu who hato to givo anything to the spread of tho humanizing and civilizing influences of tho gospel. Just look at Abbeville with uli hor churches and Sabbath schools and how ooriupt and far behind hor opportunities sho is! Take away theso agencies and in lons than five yours wo would havo a first class boll of our own. Men may talk about tho folly of proaohing as muoh as they piense, they may laugh at thc gospel and hoot tho clergy, but.thoy must acknowlodgo after oil that thoy would not do without thom for tho world-If not on thoir own account, on account of thoir ohildron and booauso wherever tho churches aro most prosperous thcro proporty is safer and monoy moro plcutiful. Bottor givo everything you havo to tho support of tho gospel than do Without its ameliorating influences, in tho common pursuits of every day life. [Abbeville Medium, GOLD IN UNION.-Mr. A. L.
