But} well and Washburne --Bout- Why Mr. Hoar Failed to Become a Judge of the Supreme Court. Fow Manner of Govornment for the Dis- triot of Columbin---Aloxander Mitchell From Our Oun Correspondent. WasinaTox, Bopt. 13, 1874, Amongst the capable men who will go volun- turily out of Congress in 18756 is Rockwood Ioar, of Massachueotts, ox-Attornoy-General of tho United Statos and Justico of the Bupromo Court of Massachusotts, He bolongs to that solf-possessed, informed, porrevering, stool-oyed type of Massachusotls mon who obtain control in or out of office, and are often moro powerful withont than withm, Largo and aolid to look at, with oyos which seem to go through ono and over him, until he ia bounded by a cirols of experionco and spitted on a2 mesmoric glanco, Judgo Iloar is sometimes nncomfortabla to know, and ALWAYS PROFITABLE TO ENOW. Ho haa no genlus that con bo dotooted, but gonias gonoratly leaves him with a solf-deproca- tion. His mind is ordorly, his mdustry groat, hia wit dry and surprisiog, his honesly aud in- togrity of word unquostioned, and bis loyalty to the traditiong ho inherits is the noodla of the compaus by which he sters, He bolioves in tho Commonwealth of Massachusstts, tho Ropub- liean Governmont, local msgistracy, onforced morality, and the United Statos. I doubt whother tho proseut gonemtion of Southorn peoplo bold a8 much of his estoom ag the mero land they oc- cupy. Now-England oducatipn and thought, howevor widoned on paper, aro bard and Crom- wolllan in practico. Tho central Yankee, with his vindicated lifo rich around bim in posses- slons, comforts, good habits, and inatitutions, must needs bring in all the suow-images and sot thom boforo tho firo. His locallsm is genor- ally ss wide a8 his patriotism. Tho nation ho is proud of, but it must bo moro and moro like Now England to snit him. Judgo Hoar might bo carved as the om- bodimont, the idcal statuo, of Massachusetts Bay. Hair of stifliah gray, with a roan tinge Jeft in places; bealthy rod-snd-white skin, ap- parontly rubbed with & crash-towel evory morne Ing forsixty vears; vory white teoth; vory clear, cold bluo eyes; fenturos strong, if formal; a rosdy laugh, not long kopt up, and novar to tho projudico of hia oyesigbt, which looks on whilo tho rest of tho man laughs; snd a atrong, straight, vigorous bodyin 5 big mold,—he lna tho magistorial and tho noighborly attributes 50 inwoven that, in his community, Le should bo Jioth appronckiablo and advisory. Imot Judgo Hoar last, not long ago, in r. Vanderbile's fine, translucout sphore of a dopot, going to Saratoga. Ho had the Doston Tran- scriptin his band, and it answered his uses all tho way up, for abdva fivo hours, In that time - I bad read, ne I supposed, » dozen papors, Along toward the fourth hour the Judge bauded mo thoe Zranseript, with a littlo piece in it taken from the vagaries of the Counocticut back-log man : “YVery truo!" ho said. 1 rond it, and it was pretty: to tho effact that vohementco was a bad attnbute n » friond ; that ‘e must grow along through pools of quistness, Jiko a trout, until ail st ouce in life you feol him on your line a game thing, and have caught an unoxpected tronsuro. Bomething like thial Bomo kind of idleness mado profitsblo a8 litera- ture, Somo great imporial nothing found out in $ho circuit of your sowing-room. 5 My mind, howevor, was absorbed with the GBEAT FACT IN TOLITICAL CONOMY. The Judgo's paper had cost only 3 centa; my twelvo papers, as railroad-pricos, had cost 60 sentn. . # Now," said I, musingly, *let me throw my- eolf into the Now-Englaud fismo of mind, ;f the Judge bought a nowspaper this morning for 3 conts, as ho probably did, and I bouglt twelve st5 cents, or mnesr that amount, as I Lnow did,—for I buy all tho news- papors, invariably, whon travoling, o that thoy \oay illustrate tho couutry L am' in,—lbon my roading to-dny has cost 31.20, and his just cents.
