THE PITTSBURGH RIOT.

\ Description ( Fight Between the
Soldiers from Philadelphia and the .Mob
m Told by One of the Former.
A member of the First regiment of
Philadelphia, sent to Pittsburgh to ,
quell the disturbance there, gave the
following thrilling description of the riot ,
that followed the arrival of the regiment
to a ^iew lork Herald reporter :
When we arrived at Pittsburgh we ]
were all in good spirits, and responded ,
with alacrity to the command to move j,
out to Twenty-eighth street, where the
strikers had gathered in force. When !
we arrived here, General Brit ton, com- ;
manding, formed us front and rear on
the outside of a network of track at this '
point and stationed the Keystone battery, ;
with its Gatling guns, in a little flat plot .
on the hillside, elevation perhaps ten ;
wounded by a bayqpet thrust. 1 he crowd
now began pelting us with stones, and
some of our men were hurt nfore or ess.
This was the match that fired the train,
% and, goaded to frenzy, either through .
fear of violence from the crowd or stung (
to desperation by being hit with mis- ,
siles, we fired, and fire we did. Some ,
say there was no order given to fire, but
one of the guns in the hands of a member
of Company A went off, and others,
mistaking this for an order to fire, level- ,
ed their pieces and discharged them. ,
This may be, but I heard distinctly the ,
order to fire, and did not discharge my
piece until such an order was given.
The firing was sudden and unexpected
and seemed to come upon the vast crowd
like a stroke of lightning, and it was
. scarcely realized until here and there a
man was seen to fall. Along the brow
of the hill ran a deep ditch, into which
those who had enough presence of mind
cast themselves. After the first shot the
troops fired in every direction. The
first volley swept over the hilleide and
was delivered by those troops nearest '
the hill. The second side of the square 1
was along the track, and the others, so
far as couid be ascertained, wheeled and
fired down T venty-eighth street.
Before dark, when the dead and wound- i
ed had been carried off and the crowd J
got over the fright and commenced to
gather again in great numbers, we were
ordered into the round house, as affording
us shelter for the night and better
protection from the stray shots heard
every now and then. "With the approach
of nightfall we got huugry and tired, but
were consoled in a measure by the announcement
that supper had been ordered
and would arrive in a brief time. At
dusk, peeping out of the windows of the
round house, we saw the wagons carrying
our rations captured by the crowd;
dishes and their contents hurled into the
street, while the crowd cheered like,
demons. As the crowd in the streets
was agumented with the approach of
night, all thoughts of sleep were given
over and guards stationed at the windows
of the round house and also placed at
each of the gates leading into the yards.
They were out of the reach of the crowd
and had instructions to fire upon persons j
who attempted to enter.
At midnight the crowd outside, as we
could observe from the windows, had
grown into many thousands, and shots
were fired at us from out of the yards of ;
the company in close proximity to the
round house. We replied to them, with
what effect we were unable to ascertain.
When the fire was started in the box cars

few men T have heard 'made their way j
out of their quarters in citizen's clothes
and escaped from their perilous position.
We could see long lines of cars, one after
the other burning, but dared not expose
ourselves to the guns of the mob.
The fire slowly but surely crept down
on us, and abr?ut this time the crowd
captured one of the guns belonging to
Hutchison's battery, of Pittsburgh, and
attempted to get it into position to fire
upon us. It was heavily loaded, we
knew, and if it was fired in close proximity
to us it must have done heavy damage.
However, we prevented them from
putting it in position, as we covered it
well, and were in quarters where we
could pick off the men without much
injury to ourselves. The number of
times th0 freight cars ran between us
and the gun shielded the strikers from
our shots, but they finally gave the matter
iii? and "hauled the gun away. All ,
this time the situation was becoming
. more and more serious. T lie fire was
creeping down upon us with the certainty
of driving us out sooner or later.
The crowd, too, was growing more dense
and bold, and threats of violence should
we come out were distinctly heard. Away
1 up the truck ii\ the yard where the cars j
were burning we could see men pillagiug,
while their old rusty arms were mingled
with bright barrels which flashed iu the
glare of destructior.
Suddenly down the grade came oue
rs?? unotheri ?otne Jj?aet? with oil
ieet a Dove tne level ot tne tracks. At
this moment the crowd began to scatter, . ]
not in retreat, but apparently to make
room forth? military.
As we rested on our arms the silence j
of the great crowd was broken and a !
storm of hisses, yells and cheers greeted j'
ns. Then a platoon of our regiment was j
ordered to clear the crowd front the head !]
of Twenty-eighth street, which was!,
blockading the tracks of the railroad. 1
The sheriff and his deputies mingled with
the troops and endeavored to make himself
heard, urging the crowd to fall back
and retire to their homes. He could i |
not make himself heard, owing to the
confusion and the cries and the yells of
the people. The platoons of soldiers j'
pushed into the crowd, surging them
back until the order *' halt!" was given. ;
At this time the hillside was literally !
Covered with men, women and children^ j
mostly spectators. I judged, who were
in a manner penned up. All this time
the cries and yells of the crowd grew |
louder and fiercer and the military made
preparations to form a hollow square on
a platform of tracks, as near the Twentyeightn
street crossing as possible, with
two Galting guns in the center. The
Pittsburgh troops and the Fourteenth j
regiment, I believe, were drawn up in
line, but remained passive.
After some manuvering, rendered :
difficult by the jostling of the crowd,
three sides of a square were formed by our
two regiments?First and Second? ]
numbering from four to five hundred :
men. One side of the square faced the
hill, one faced to the east and the troops (
on the other side stood with their backs
to Twenty-eighth street and also faced ,
the hill. The crowd was slow in clear- (
ing a space for the east side of the (
square, and the soldiers began to force 3
them back. This occasioned some
scuffling, several of the men taking hold ]
of the muskets and saying: " You would <
not shoot working men, would you?" j
while those on the outskirts continued to ]
hoot and yell. About this moment the ,
Grays were ordered to charge on the ]
crowd which was impeding them. This
was done amid the most intense confusion ,
and excitement; but the troops pushed (
back the throng and retired.
The First regiment, when the crowd
began again to press the men, was or- I
dered to charge, which they did with (
fixed bayonets, and in this charge one of .
the strikers is reported to have been
r
which was on tire ur.d burning fiercely.
These cars were sent down in order that
they might ign U i e wooden work of
the round hou?e and the company's
lumber y ard. They were heavily ladened
with combustible material, and when the
box cars took Ave they bursted and scattered
the contents in every direction,
dealing out disaster with lavish hand.
The machine shop, between Twenty-fifth
and Twenty-sixth streets, then caught
fire and soon our building was surrounded
with a wall of fire. The heat was so in'
11 ? ? n A X* t
rense luf.t we were ODiigeu 10 retire irom
the windows and gathered in the center
of the building. Many of us would have
run out, but the danger outside from the
violence of the crowd was as much feared ,
as the fire element, which was fast ap-t
proachirg us. At dawn of day a consultation
of officers was held, which was ;
prolonged for some time. It was then
decided we must go out and face the i
angry devils who made the streets in the
neighborhood black with their presence.
It was better to rap the risk of being
shot down than burned to death, and so
we filed out in a compact body, and, preceded
by the Gatling guns, with Major- [
Gen. Britton, Brigadier-Gen. Matthews
and Land at the head. It was. lively
times, I tell you, reaching the United
States arsenal, where we thought we
would be protected. The sentries here
refused to allow us to enter, and the
command held a conference with our
officers. A number of us scaled the
walls and took refuge from the mob behind
the shrubbery and piles of shells

the rest of the party formed in line and
marched up the street. I thought we
should be all cut to pieces, and having
no relish for this sort of death I embraced
the readiest means to escape ,
from it. I never saw such a wicked,
desperate mob in all my life. How any
of us escaped with our lives is. a mystery.
I hod given up all hopes of seeing
home again. If the crowd could have
got arms I am sure not one of us would
have come out of the round house a ive.
Why Old People Remember Things.
The extraordinary persistence of early
impressions, when the mind seems al-.
most to have ceased to register new ones,
is in remarkable accordance with the
law of nutrition. It is a physiological
fact that decline essentially consists in
tBe diminution of the formative activity |
of the organism. Now it is when the
brain is growing that a definite direction ;
can be most strongly and persistently :
given to its structnre. Thus the habits ;
of thought come to be formed, and those
aerve tracks laid down which (as the
physiologist believes) constitute the
mechanism of associaiion, by the time ;
the brain has reached its maturity ; and
the nutrition of the organ continues to !
keep up the same mechanism in accordance
with the demands of its activity so
long as it is being called into use.
Further, during the entire period of
vigorous manhood, the brain, like mus- '
cles, may be taking on some additional !'
growth, either as a whole or in special
parts, new tissue being developed and
kept up by the nutritive process, in ac- ?
cordance with the modes of action to
which the organ is trained. And in this
manner a store of "impressions" or
traces is sccumulated wnich may be i
brought within the sphere of consciousness
whenever the right suggesting
strings are touched. But as the nutri- j
tive activity dimishes, the " waste " be- i
ivnnpR more active than the renovation :
find it would Seem that while (to use a
commercial analogy) the "old-established
horses " keep their ground, these
later Arms whose basis is less secure are
the first to crumble away?the nutritive
activity, which yet suffices to maintain
the original structure not being capable
of keeping the subsequent additions to
it in working order. This earlier degeneration
of later formed structures is
a general fact perfectly familiar to the
physiologist.
The Sea Serpent.
The London Graphic contains a
sketch by Lieutenant W. P. Haynes, of
Ler majesty's ship Osborne, of the sea ;
monster seen by the officers and crew of
that vessel off the north coast of Sicily I
on the second of June. In a letter accompanying
the sketch he says:
My attention was first called by seeing
a long row of fins appearing above the
surface of the water at a distance of
about two hundred yards from the ship,
and "away on our beam." They were
of irregular heights, and extending about
thirty or forty feet in line (the former
number is the length I gave, the latter
the other officers); in a few seconds they
disappeared, giving place to the fore
part of the monster. By this time it had i
passed astern, swimming in an opposite
direction to that we were steering, and as
we were passing through the water at
ten and a half knots, I could only get a
view of it "end on," which I have shown
in the sketch.
The head was bullet-shaped, and quite
six feet thick, the neck narrow, and its
head was occasionally thrown back out
of the water, remaining there for a few
minutes at a time. It was very broad
across the back or shoulders, about fif- |
teen or twenty feet, and the flappers
seemed to have a semi-revolving motion,
which seemed to paddle the monster
along. They were about fifteeu feet in
length. From the top of the head to the i
part of the back where it became immersed
I should consider about fifty
feet, and that seemed about a third of the
whole length. All this part was smooth,
resembling a seal. I cannot account for
the fins unless they were on the back j
below where it was immersed.
Little Thoughts and Big Phrases.
Simple and unpretending ignorance i6
always respectable, and sometimes charming;
but there is little that more deserves j
contempt than the pretense of ignorance i
to knowledge. The curse and the peril
of the language in tins uay, ana particularly
in this country, is that it is at the
m( :cy of men who, instead of being content
to use it well according to their
honest ignorance, use it ill according to
their affected knowledge; who, being
vulgar, would seem elegant; who, being
empty, would seem full; who make up in
pretense what they lack in reality; and
whose little thoughts, let off in enormous
phrases, sound like fire-crackers in an
empty barrel.?Richard Grant White.
As Unsaintly "Saint."?A three-ply
polygamist, living a few miles south ol
Salt Lake City, who desired a fourth,
boldly declared his iuteutiou to a young
widow residing there, and pleaded for her
hand, but was refused. As his own
pleadings had availed him nothing, he
forthwith dispatched his No. 2 to do his
courting and carry out his design. Entreaties
011 one side met rebuttal on the
other, when at last the young widowasked
if she (No. 21 did not act against
her own will, and to her own detriment,
when the last mentioned answered : " 1
do not wish Mr. to take any more
wives, but I so detest and bate the very
sight of his No. 3 that I would do anything

It.
If we attempt to trace the history of i
paper back to its origin, we are carried ,
to times .very remote, when the Egyptians
prepared a plant, called the papyrus,
on which to record their sacred in- j
senptions, and from whit h we derive the
present name for writing material. Simultaneously
with papyrus the ancients
undoubtedly made use of the skins of |
animals in the fonn of parchment, and
also had recourse to wood and 6tone, for
the preservation of their records, it
cannot be ascertained with certainty
when the art of making paper from fibers
was first discovered, but to the Chinese
is usually ascribed the honor, as they
very early learned how to convert the inner
bark of the mulberry, bamboo and rags
into a web or felt suitable for writing; and
it is in China at the present day that the
manufacture has reached its highest
perfection, and where it is used for
clothing, handkerchiefs, napkins, twine,
furniture and numerous other purposes.
The Chinese consider paper so indispensable
that they usually secure a certain
quantity to their wives in the marriage
contract. The Arabs acquired the
art from the Chinese, and by them it
was brought to Spain, from whence it
rapidly spread over the other countries
of Europe. Cotton paper, well authenticated,
has come down to us from the
tenth century; but linen paper cannot be
traced further back than the thirteenth
century, after which date it rapidly rose
to the first rank, and was extensively
manufactured from rags. At the present
time paper is made from an infinite
number of materials -which are nearly
all of vegetable oi\gin?such as flax,
hemp, cotton, wood, straw, esparto, manilla,
jute, cane, etc.; and the art of
paper-making consists is the reduction
of all these materials into their primitive
fibers, and forming them into felted
sheets.
Nearly every variety of vegetable fiber
has been tried in the manufacture of
paper?roots, leaves, stems, bark, cabbage,
potatoes, beets, vines, but in practice
these have not been found of much
value. On the other hand, straw, wood,
corn-stalks, rice-straw and esparto-grass
have been successively introduced in
various countries. In Austria the husks
of corn are not only made into paper,
but into clothing, and a good article of
food for cattle is also produced from
them. Paper clothing is also made in
China and Japan, where a good coat can
be had for ten cents, and a suit of clothing
for a quarter of a dollar. In Germany
paper napkins are introduced;
the cost of them is a trifle, aud they
can, after having been once used, be
thrown into the common stock. to be
worked over again. The fact that cottou
and linen are really the same thing,
chemically speaking, as paper, may take
away from the prejudice tnat some persons
entertain in reference to the use of
paper collars, cuffs and clothing.
Munsell's work on paper-making says
that in 1867 .the following substances
were in actual employment: Manilla
hemp, agave of Cuba, cultivated hemp,
white hemp of Hayti, India hemp,
acacia, fibers .of aloes, jute, Spanish
broom, hops, silk-weed, flax, Chinese
hemp, mallow, mulberry, Chinese nettle.
New Zealand flax, esparto-grass, linden,
yucca, bamboo and cane. To the above
list must be added the ramie plant, wild
aud cultivated rice, potato pomace, the
bark of coniferous trees from which the
resin has been extracted, stalks aud
fibers of cord grass and okra ; in fact,
more than sixty different kinds of fiber
have been experimented upon in the
search for new material, and it cannot be
denied that the result of all these trials
has been favorable to the paper industry
by adding permanently to the supply of
stock upon which to draw in emergency
and for special kinds of goods.
The manufacture of paper from rags
is the most important branch of the
business, and the one in which the
largest amount of capital has been expended
and the greatest improvements
attained. The first operation is in the
purchasing, sorting, cutting and dusting
of the rags. In the purchase of rags the
mill-owner has to encounter the same
attempt to cheat that seems to obtain in
every line of business. Bales are made
up looking well outside, but in the interior
inferior articles are put, and the
rags are moistened or loaded with sand
to increase the weight. The dealer soon
becomes expert, and can tell from what
country the rags came, by their color,
strength and general character. Some
nations wear more linen, others more
cotton, some fine, some coarse. City
rags are apt to be white, country rags
yellow or dark-colored. All of these
points have to be considered before
making the purchase.

even surface and delicacy of color, a
ream of which weighs, with wrappers
and strings, two and a half pounds. It
is principally used in the potteries for
transferring .the various patterns to the
earthenware, and is found superior to
any substance yet known for that purpose.
It is so tenacious, that a sheet of
it twisted by the hand in the form of a
rope, will support upward of one liuudred
pounds' weight. Corn husks have
been successfully employed in Germany.
The husks are first boiled with an alkali
in tubular boilers, which converts them
into a spongy condition filled with
gelatinous substance or dough, which
latter is pressed out from the libers in
the shape of longitudinal threads, interspersed
with a dense mass of short fiber.
The long fibers are used for spinning,
and yield a cloth suitable for clothing.
The short fibers are used for paper,
which is stronger that that made from
linen or cotton rags. It is very durable,
and can be made extremely transparent
without sacrificing any portion of its
strength. Dr. Rudal calculates that the
quantity of paper produced in the whole
world?paper of all kinds, of hemp, of
linen, of straw, of jute, of rice, of wood,
etc.?amounts to 1,800,000,000 pounds.

printing purposes, a sixth for -writing
purposes, and the remainder for miscellaneous
uses. The whole may be thus
categorized : For government purposes,
200,600,000 pounds are required; for instruction,
180,000,000 ; for commerce,
240,000,000; for industrial manufacture,
180,000,000; for private correspondence,
100,000,000; and for printing. 900,000,000.
For the production of all this paper
there are 3,960 manufactories, employing
90,000 men and 180,000 women;
while 100,000 persons are engaged in
collecting rags. The number of paper<
mills in the United States at the present
time, according to Lockwood's Directory,
is 934, and the number of firms 795. Of
' these 254 firms and 327 mills are in the
Eastern States; 328 firms and 360 mills
iu the Middle States; 155 firms and 179
mills in the Western States ; and
fifty-eight firms and sixty-eight mills
| in the Southern States. During
the last few years paper has found
. constantly increasing uses.- In ad?
dition to the familiar applications for
stationery, newspapers an I boohs, we
now henr of the employment of paper
for boats, car-wheels, furniture, clothing,
roofing, sheathing of ships, and house- :
building. Every year brings us new
applications, but, fortunately, the progress
of chemistry and the improvements
in mechanical arts, keep pace with the
increased demand, and the article is
furnished from a greater variety of material
and in various forms and conditions
suitable for the wants of mankind, j

Cast Out.
The Philadelphia North American;
' says: Here are faint photographs of !
i some of these men as seen along the line 1
of the Boston and Albany railroad, whose ,
hearts might have' been reached if the
winding stairs had been climbed by
love, patience and kindness. 'Tis nightI
fall; along the railroad track, near a
| small stream of water, fifteen to twenty j
men are lying #n the ground without J
any covering, asleep; old boots,
shoes and dirty, hard stockings are scattered
around, and several bare, blistered
feet are visible; when aroused, they
answer any questions willingly, and the
tales narrated would freeze the life from j
out young hearts, which language fails
to portray. A man is seated on the top of ;
a^flat rock. He has some pieces of what
appears to be a letter in his hands. The I
paper is rotten from age and from being j
carried in his pocket. The almost illegi-,
ble lines were written by a tender-heart- i
ed mother, now dead, and the poor out- 1
cast is trying to read her last words to
liira. He repeats the story of a mother's j
I love?how, when he lay a boy in her lap,
; and her hand on his head, she told him
of the boyhood of good men, and made '
: him promise, when he would become a
I man, that he would remember her counsel
and follow their example. But when
he came to the great city he began to !
drink with reveling companions, and no !
, one ever gave him a kind word after- j
ward; and the stricken wreck in agony ;
of soul burst into tears, and refused to J
be comforted or receive any aid. An-1
! other has seen better days; he was once !
a happy husband and father. His wife i
1 went down to the grave uncomplaining,
and soon a sweet, golden-haired little
: girl lay at her side. He feels accused
?in one sense a murderer; he is fifty four
years old and friendless. Rum has
been his ruin. When found he was eating
corn from an empty car, where some
kernels had been left scattered on the
: floor. Toe next in review is a man who :
i had formerly bean employed in the i
; Freedman's bureau; he has a wife and
i four children. He ha3 been to New i
j York to obtain employment, has failed j
| and is returning to his family in Maine. :
He states that he had lived in Washing- |
; ton and had entertained Representatives j
: and Senators at his home. He is a Freemason,
well posted, and had been a
member of Dr. Storrs' church, Brooklyn,
N. Y. He is an object of pity. He i
said he had washed his shirt on Sunday.
He was furnished with a lunch, and he
j purposed calling on Rev. Dr. Webb. A '
: man was found in a very weak condition;
he had not strength enough to go into i
i the woods, and asked for food; he had
! walked from Providence to Worcester
j and thence to Boston, and did not seem
I to care for life. The Boston and Albany
; railroad detective from whom these items
j have been obtained has, from observation
and long experience, an insight into
; the character of tliis class, and in the 300
whom he has interviewed in the past
i few weeks he considers that the men
: spoke truthfully, and in most cases would
(rejoice in finding labor, many of them j
having learned trades.

How to Place the Bed.
Baron Reichenbacli, who has devoted '
many years of deep study to the art of :
; bedmaking, maintains that you must j
not always be on your bed as it is made, !
; under penalty of abridging your bfe by I
; a great number of years. If, says the '
j baron, a mere magnet exercises an influ-j
! ence on sensitive persons, the earth's j
magnetism must certainly make itself I
j felt on the nervous life of man. Hence 1
he dwells on the salutary effects of the
inhabitants of the Northern hemisphere
i lying with their heads to the north, and
; those of the Southern with their heads to j
the south. For travelers with short
; memories we may put the rule in general i
, terms: In whatever hemisphere you 1
1 may be, always sleep with your feet to i
' the equator, and let your body be " true
i as a needle to the pole." In giving this
| rule the baron has simply told us how to
j live long; for the polar direction of the
I body is, it appears, of the utmost iui.
oortance for the proper circulation of
! the blood, and we have Baron Reichenbach's
authority for slating that many
disturbances in the human organisms
have been cured by simply placing tne
bolster at a different point ef the com|
pass frmn that it had occupied before.
; Let sucli as have hitherto been in the
j habit of sleeping with their heads where
their feet ought to be, take to heart the
i example of the late Br. Fischweiter,
Magdeburg, who died recently at the
age of 109 years, and always attributed
' his long life to his faithful observance of
; the ]a?le to pole position of sleeping.
The most unhealthy position, we are
told, i^ when the body lies due east and
west. Some observers assure us that
to sleep in such a postnre is tantamount
to committing slow suicide, and that diseases
are often aggravated by deviations
from the polar posture.
A Poet's Habits.
The poet Longfellow's daily life is
something like this, says the Boston
J Herald : ''He lises early, takes a comI
paratively light breakfast, and if the day
; is not rainy, sets out for a walk, which
I takes up an hour or two, according to his
| inclination. His gait is firm and hearty,
! and as he waits he holds himself perfectly
upright. He does Dot ramble two
mornings in the same direction, but
| varies his route daily. Every day or two
! he calls on his printers, at the University
i Press, and receives or returns proofs of
: his works, if he has anything in type,
which is mostly the case. He studies his
1i? if i? in nrint. Lit
maiitjr wreiui^y uii-cx *w ? r
t-le, if any, of his poetry, as published, is
written on the spur of the moment.
4 The Divine Tragedy' is said to have
been rewritten after it was nearly all in
j type. During late years he has been in
the habit of publishing his poems in the
magazines, and, after having obtained a
i sufficient number, adding a few new
ones to them, and issuing them in book
form. He brings his 4copy' to the office
of the University Press, which is only
half a mile or so from his owu residence,
written in lead-pencil, in a small back
hand, very much like the average newspaper
man's style of handwriting, clear,
ami mostly free from interlineations and
erasures. His magazinejpoems are always
revised and corrected, or at least
altered more or less, before^,their publication
in book form, so that the reader
. rarely encounters one in exactly the same
! shape as in the periodioel."

the conversion of food into blood of a rich and
nourishing quality. The appetite is improved
bv it. and in cases of nervous disease it tran-1 i
quilizes that great eeusorium, the brain, far j
more effectually than any mineral sedative.
I have sold Hatch's Universal Congh Syrup
for five years. It has by far the best sale of any
cough remedy I keep. The sale has steadily
increased from its first introduction. Having
seen it so thoroughly tested. I feel safe in
recommending it to my customers.

1877. NEW YOBK. 1877.
The Srs continues to be the strenneoa advocate of
reform and retrenchment, and of the substitution of
statesmanship, wisdom, and integrity for hollow pretence,
imbecility, and fraud in the administration of
public affaire. It contends for the government of the
people by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds in the ballot-box and in the counting
of votes, enforced by military violence. It endeavors
; to supply its readers?a body now r.ot far from a million
of sonis?with the most careful, complete, and trustworthy
account* of cm rent events, and employs far this
purpose a numerous and carefully selected staff of reKrtcrs
and correspondents. Its reports from Washingi,
especially, are fall, accurate, and fearless; and it
| doubtless continues to deserve and enjoy the hatred of
those who thrive by plundering tbe Treasury or by usurping
what the law does not give them, while it endeavors
to merit the confidence of the public by defending the
rights of the people against the encroachments of unjustified
power.
