The man who, being & lawyer by profession, could malntaln that groat debate with Stephen A. Douglas, as Linooln malintained It, could develop euch extraordinary reasoning powers as he developed, could not ba otherwise than A LAWYER OF THE FIRST CLASS, Mr. Douglas was one of the greatest debaters of that perlod, but Lincoln more than his match. It is not Intende to convey the infpression that, becauss a man |s an able debater, he s therefore a eat lawyer, but, having a thorough E:mwlodgs of law, 8 wonderful amount of practical common sente, and possess- Ing extraordinary powers of argument and reasoniog, the concluslon must be that Lincoln would stand In the front rank of his profession, and there is where he did stand as a lawyer. As a statesman, none but a small mind can deny him greatness, and the common judgment of mankind has enrolled him on the list of great statesmen. Probably no raler in history had to pass througha more trying crisls than did Lincoln, and no one ever passed through it more suc- cetsfully. In every emergency that arose, ROSE EQUAL TO THE OCCASION. No man ever read and understood the character of the Amerlcan people better than he did. He so mansged them, and #0 shaped public sentlment, as to lead them to believe that they were leadin them, and bringing them up to sustai ing measures he wanted to carry for- ward. In thess respects he substantiated the clalm to be admitted to the circle of the first statesmen of the world. A few months back, certaln men, be- lieved to be competent and impartfal, were selected as judges to pass upon these questions: Who are the three great- east benefactors In our history and coun- try; the thrae greatest statesmen; the three greatest generals; and the three greatest oratora? The judges were David Dadley Field, the eminent New York lawyer, Gen, Thomas Ewing, of Ohlo, Prof. of Kentucky, A. J. Meld, of New York, and one or two others, names now forgotten. THEIR DECISIONS were as follows: The greatest benefac- tors were Washington, Lincoln and Hamilton; the greatest statesmen were Hamilton, Webster snd Lincoln; the A ROUGN, WEARY, ROAD; the 1-ne Is long, and thers seems to be no prospect of turning. Charles Brown, head centre of one of the three factions of Nebraska democracy, was reported not long ago, to have expressed himeelf in very vigorous denunciation of Mr, Cloveland and hia policy. Mr, Brown publishe onlal, which wae, of course, accepted; but then, it is self eviden that, if he would expresy his real senti- ments, they would be the verysentiments imputed to him for that Is the way they sllfeel. Our felends, Dr. Miller and Mayor Boyd, were specially invited to Washington to conanlt with™ Mr, Cleve- land in regard to Nebraska appointments they went, and having been kindly as- sured by him that all vacancies In Ne- braska as they occurred by explration of commissions or by deaths, would be filled by good democrats, they walked down the White house steps In a meditative mood, Boyd looking at Miller and Miller looking at Boyd, and both lcoking 1ather bewildered. They were overheard to exclaim gimultaneonsly in the lsngusge of the Toxas statesman, Flanigan, ““What In Sheol are we here for!” An ex- presslon of their real genuine feelings on thls mattes would be entertainlog. Can’t yoa accommodate us, gentlemen? Joux M. THAVER, Graxp IsLaxp, Neb., July 7.

He discovered that the supposed fellne was noue other than Wiliiam Korkerat, and knocked him off with a club, They grappled to deter- mine which was the best man. August Korderat heard the noise and went to his brother’s asslstance. Gernus succeeded in whipping both of them, but not be- sald, *“Judge, lot mo go to juil In place of that man; 1 can afford to do It better than hecan.” The ontcome of the case will be awalted with conslderable In- terost.

Their judgment 1s quite as con- clusive as that of Mr. McColluch. It may be remarked Incidentally, that Gen. Grant’s estimate of Lee differs fr. m that of the committee. The writer has heard Grant say more than once, that he would much prefer to meet Gen, Lee as commander of &n opposing army which he was golng to fight than Gen. Joe Johnston, Johnston certainly proved himself to be a general of the firat rank, though all through the war he was under the ban of Jeff Davis, while Lee was in high officlal favor. It Is evident that Huogh McCalloch had very little In sympathy with Abraham Lincoln or that he greatly misjudged him, When William Pitt Festenden, of Maline, who succeeded Chass as secretary of thetreasury, resignedthat office, Lincoln promoted McCulloch to that poeltion. As great a reader of human nature as Lin coln was, he sometimes made mlstakes, though rarely, in the selection of men; and this ssiection of McCalloch was one of them, as subsequent events very eoon proved. Notlong after Andrew Johnson had become established in the presiden-— cy, he Johnson, most grossly and treach- erously betrayed the republican party. He set about CREATING A NEW PARTY, of which he was to be the head, and un- dertook to establlsh ‘‘my policy,” as he It was one of the worst, one of the meanest betrayals, one of the bas- estacts of treachery ever recorded in the of tresson and treachery, McCulloch fellowed Johnston, sand sustalned him right through it all, and acted with the democratic psrty.
