Grant, Ficrreport, and Babcock. Day by day evidence accumulates that Pie rreport and Grant joined forces to oDstruct the wheels of justice in the trial of the Babcock case. There, at least, the motto of these yoke fellows in iniquity was, that one guilty man should not be punished.
No custom of our courts of justice has peen more uniform or more firm" ly founded in reason, than the ex* emption, in part, from punishment of such persons, as by turning states evidence, bring to justice, co-conspira. tiors. Without this custom it would be impossible for the Government ever to unearth fraud or 'punish thieves.
Persons who conspire together to rob the revenues or in any way to violate the laws keep the secrets of their nefarious schemes wholly, or for most part, to themselves. They do not go upon the high ways, and stop men, to teli them how they are fattening upon public plunder. Among themselves the guilty secret is locked fast, with only a little clue here and there, where in the practice of their unhallowed trade, they come perforce in contact with clean hands and consciences not prostituted to guilty gain. Such evidence as outsiders can by any possibilty gain, is only sufficient to arouse suspicion, and seldom or never is adequate for conviction. Government's sole reliance is upon the evidence of co*conspirators*of persons in the ring. Some spark of conscience perhaps remains. Perhaps, some grudge borne by some one member towardsjanother, who feels that in the division of the spoils, he a thief, has been robbed and wronged by bis fellow thief, is the motive. JJut be the motive which prompts to disclosures what it may, it never will reach the form of sworn evidence, unless the party who gives it, is assured of a investigation o^b is own penalty.
He would be more or less than hu« human who, would put a whip in the hands of justice, bare his back, give reasons for his whiping and beg for the seourging. "The coming man" may do something of that kind, but "the come" man will not. Besides "the ceming man" is not likely to join the whisky rings, or if he is to join them, the world will very complacently bear the failure of his coming. The ends of justice would have been the wanted and guilty men by the score would be per* mitted to escape, if this wise rule had not been adopted.
When, therefore, the Attorney General of the United States flies in the face of a universal and time honored custom like this, the people want to know his reason.
When he does so in the midst of a series of trials, the successive convictions of which had been accomplished by reason of that rule, and on the eyidence of conspirators who had testified to a criminal conspiracy of gigantic proportions, public curiosity is increased.
When he does so during the trial of a bosom crony of the President, a gentleman so high in favor at the White House that he was permitted to hold several officers at once, the people are clamorous for his reasons.
When it is further known that had the order been secret, as it should have been at all events, it would not have helped Babcock, and that its publicity was greatly beneficial to him, the interest in his reason iricre&ses. That interest increases to distrust, under a knowledge that he chooses to teinpoiize with the House of Representative! in giving his reasons.
Added to this the fact, that there is little reason for doubling up that he himself made tbe order public and that in denying it, he lied, and the public is prepared for further fact that he gained from District Attorney Dyer, all the Government's evidence against Babcock and then ju-« das like betrayed the whole plan of the prosecution to the attorneys for the defense.
Worst of all the people of these United States cannot say that this is wrong. They saw President Grant during four years plant the seed of which this thing, and the like, are the harvest and they applauded They may bow their heads in grief and shame, but they may not cast the contumelious stone. Grants crime, for it is a crime, from the start, has been that he considered his office not a trust, but a reward of merit its patronage not a thing for which be was responsible to the people, but a gratifying feature of his plaything the presidency, to be farmed out or given away in the payment of personal obligations. If a President may give officers in that way, he may stand between justice and maladministration. If it is admirable and praise-wortby to stand by ones friends and relatives in the one care, it is more the less. Beautiful are tbe other, but rather more' as the extremity is direr and tha need more pressing. President Grant may well ask people what they mean by denouncing him for vrolating his trust duties in trying to keep a friend out of the penetentiary, when they applauded him to the echo, and re-elected him for equally violating theseduties in comfortable providing for his family and and friends out of the public patronage.
SIB FRANCIS BACON.
The Brilliant Philosopher, Renowned Poet, Writer and Statesman, JDiscnssed
Last Night by Professor SeovilK
BEFORE THE LECTVRE BUREAU.
LIKE BELKNAP HIS GREAT STUMBLING BLOCK WAS THE ACCEPTANCE OF BRIBES,
He did not sell Suttler Ships Judgements.
Last
night the Baptist church was
comfortably filled with an appreciative audience who came to hear the lecture of Prof. Scovell ol the State Normal School, deliver tbe fourth of the series of lectures in "Sir Francis Bacon and the rise of the Physical Sciences." Mr. Henderson stated that the next lecture would be delivered by Judge Thomas B. Long subject Izaak Wolton and that it would be on Monday evening
Below we print a large part of the address of Mr. Scovell. BACON.
For more than twenty years, Sir Nicholas Bacon held the great seal, during the seign of Queen Elizabeth.
Associated
with him in the Govern
ment were Lord Burleigh, Sir Walter Mildmay, Sir Thomas Smith, Sir Thomas Walsingham and others. They were in
many
yet they
respects remarkable
men. They were all gentlemen by birth: each had received a liberal education they were men of strong good sense, moderation and firmness,^ not brilliant, but solid men not radicals,
were leaders, and leaders
Of these men, Bnrleigh stood at the head, and Bacon held the second place.
Sir Nicholas Bacon's second wife was one of tbe daughters of the learned Sir Anthony Cooke. She was a woman oj much more than ordinary ability, in fact, she was somewhat distinguished for her attainments in language and theology.
old, and about the same time he wrote a book on tbe "State of Europe," which bears evidence of intelligent observation, and a sagacious interpretation of tbe facts observed.
In 1579 on tbe death of bis father he was obliged to return to Loudon. Being tho youngest son, he wa9 not well provided for in the distribution of his father's property, so that he was much straightened ior a comfortable support. He early gave himself to the study of law, spending a large portion of his time however in the study of philosophy. He did not hesitate to GRAPPLE WITH THE PHILOSOPHY OP
PLATO
and Aristotle, aud even at this early age began to plan for the entire revolution el the received systems of philosophy. At twenty-five he was elected to Parliament, and he was so successful in bis law practice, and in Parliament, that at the age of 28, in spite of the jealousy and opposition of his Uncle Burleigh, he was made Counsel extra ordinary to the Queen, and was appointed a reader to Gray's Inn, honors conferred only on very eminent men, and seldom on any as young as Bacon was. In his straightened circumstance, the Earl of Essex, gave Bacon an estate of £2000 per year, and by bis influence, aid6d him in getting government offices, yet when Essex was on trial l'or bis life, Bacon, not only did not try to save him, but used all bis power to destroy him. Bacon was made Knigbt at 42. Attorney General at 52, keeper of tbe Great seal at 56, Lord Chancellor with the title of Lord Verulam at 58, and in 1620, at 59, was made Viscount of St. Albans, by King James. Thus Lord Bacon attained a very high rank in the social aud political circles of Enggland, but bis lite did not show that uprightness of character, and that honor which characterized the life of his father, Sir Nicholas Bacon. Had be emulated the character of his father, he might never have been Lord Bacon, but his name would have come down to posterity without a stain or blot to mar its purity. But his vaunting ambition, his love ior place and power, led him to turn against his best friend, to torture the innocent, to prostitute his mighty powers in any way to gain the favor and patronage of the King and bis favorite Buckingham. He seemed to lay aside every principle of honor and justice, and to strive alone for personal aggrandizement. His
0.
Francis Bacon, youngest son of Sir Nicholas and Anne Bacon, was born Jan. 22d, 1561. Born of Buch parents, amid such surroundings, in such an age an age which produced a Shakespeare, Johnson, a Fairfax, a Camden and a Galieo, is it wonderful that this boy grew up to be a remarkable. man? England bad made great advancement in science and literature, learning and art were patronised by the nobility libraries were becoming of importance, and while in Italy and many parts of Germany and France, a man who thought, in art, science or literature, must think and talk in accordance with the ideas of the infallible church or die, England was comparatively free.
Francis Bacon, as a boy, was not
Ead
hysically strong and vigorous but he a precocious mind, and was early noted for his intelligence and love of learning. He improved his opportanities so well and made such advancement in his studies that he was admitted to the University of Cambridge at the age of thirteen. After three years he left the. university, dissatisfied with the course of study, and with the Philosophy of Aristotle which was taught there. From Cambridge he went to PariB as an attache of the English Embassy,where he studied .French and Italian, and became well versed in diplomacy, and from Paris he made jOnr* neys into other parts of Europe. Bacon was intrusted with, a mission of much importance to the Queen, which he executed to the satisfaction of all' concerned,before he wai ninttMfn yean

he did not hesitate to RECEIVE BRIBES,
and, as judge, to decide cases in accordance with the largest bribe rather than in accordance with the law and evidence. When called to an account for thus polluting the stream of justice, he was convicted, on his own written confession of twenty-three acts of corruption. He was condemned to pay a fine of £40,000, and to be imprisoned during tbe King's pleasure. He was imprisoned two days, his fine Was remitted, and he allowed to retire on a pension of £1,200 per year. He employed the remaining five years of his life for the most part in scientific Btudio*. He died in 1626, aged sixtyfive years.
Bacon was eminent as an orator. Ben.Johnson speaks of him as follows: "There happened in my time one noble speaker who was full ot gravity in his speaking. His language, when he could spare or pass a jest, was nobly censorious. No man even spake more neatly, more pressingly, more weightily,or suffered less emptiness, less idleness in,what he uttered. His hearers could not cough or look aside from him without loss. He commanded when he spake, and had his judges angry or ploased at bis pleasure. No man had their affections more in his power. The fear of every man that heard him was lest he Bhould make an (end. This testimony of Jonson is abundantly verified by Bacon's success in Parliament and in the courts.
Blackstone says: "Though some great masters of the law did not go him in bulk, and particularly in cases, yet in the science of the grounds, and mysteries of the law, he was excelled by none.
Lord Campbell] says: "That Bacon had made himself complete master of the common law of England, and that his mind was thoroughly familiar with the principles ot jurisprudence. That no one never sat in Westminster Hall with a finer judicial under standing no one ever more thoroughly understood tbe duties of a Judge." Lord Bacon wrote several works on law the best Known is tbe Treatise on the "Statute of Uses," aud the "History of the AlienationiOffice."
of
the Protestant party, dnring a very tempestuous era. They retained their power and influence with their Sovereign and the people till their death. Macaulay says that they were the first generation of professional politicians or statesmen which England produc6(1«
Before this time the Govornment had been controlled by IMPERIOUS, UNREFLECTING, ILLITER'
ATE SOLDIERS,
and by learned theologians, calm,skilled to think, to handle words, to work upon tbe superstition of others.
But a more general diffusion of wealth and knowledge at length transferred the Government to a different order of men, more calm and intelligent than the soldiers, more practical, and having broader views of humani ty than the theologians.
Bacon also wrote a history of Henry VII., which was a work of some merit, but did not at all compare with his legal writings.
A work by Lord Bacon, entitled "Physiological and Medical Remains," and passages in his other writings, show that be had made great advancement in science of medicine. His translation of the Psalms, and his essays on morals show that be was well acquainted with the scriptures although he was never drawn into any of the religious or sectarian contests of his times,
From his travels on the continent, Bacon was somewhat familiar with French and Italian, and some of his works are written in Latin, yet be was not eminent as a linguist.
And Bacon was also a poet of no mean ability, and some cities think that there are many circumstances which point toward Bacon as the real author of the writings usually attributed to Shakespeare. Emerson says in regard to Shakespeare: "I cannot marry this fact to his verse. Other admirable men have led lives in some sort of keeping with their thought, but this man in wide contrast."
Colridge says, "Ask your own hearts, ask your own common-sense to conceive the possibility of this man being the wild, irregular genius of our daily criticism. The writings of Shakespeare show great learning ana book culture history accords neither to Shakespeare, and both to Bacon, History points to Bacon as the only man who bad such a knowledge of law, literature, medicine and science, of foreign countries, and of tbe Bible, as to make it possible to write euch a work as our Shakespeare. This fact, some parallel passages in the writings of Baeon and Shakespeare, and other points of negative testimony, have led Lord Palmerston, Judge Holmes, of Harvard University, and many other eminent scholars, to think that BACON WAS THE AUTHOR OF OITR
SHAKE8PEABB.
But the arguments are not conclusive, and something may be said on the other side. Bacon never claimed to be the author, he was not, as far as we know, intimate with.'.Shakespeare, the poetry which be is known to have written, is inferior to the Shakespearian writings, and of a far different style. Bacon might not have written Shakespeare, but the writings of which we know him to have been the author, are of Bach a character, that we can readily agree with Hume, he says.. that "The g1®?' 8»®ry of literature in Great Britian during in the reign oi King Jtane®
the literature of Europe, Hallam says: The first in time, and we may justly say, the first in excellence of English writings OH moral prudence, are the essays of Bacon. They are deeper and more discriminating than any earlier, or almost anv later'works in the English language. Few books are more quoted, and what is not always tho case with suoh books, we may add,that few are more generally read, in lact it would be somewhat derogatory to a man of the slightest claim to polito letters were he unacquainted with the essays of Bacon. As a statesman, a lawyer, a man of letters, as a wit and pleasant companion, Bacon was more or less eminent but he is known to prosterity not for his attainments in in these directions but as a philosopher. There is much difference of opinion as to his plaoe among philosophers, some regarding him as the father of inductive philosophy, while others accord him but a low place among the philosophic thinkers.
Let us look at philosophy for a few moments, and trace its history, to see if we can find Bacon's place and influence in the philosophical world. PHILOSOPHY IS A STUDY OF THE NATURE
OF MIND AND MATTER,
and a study of the causes of the various forms under which mind and matter are maaifested or manifest themselves.
The majority of humanity are content with simply observing the various phenomena of nature, and from tbe knowledge thus gained are able, in most instances, to supply themselves with tbe necessaries of life, but can do little toward elevating themselves, or their fellow men, in fact dc not know realize that they are capable of becoming something more than they now are. They look on and are satisfied with the outside of things, giving little heed to their true nature, or to the causes of the myriad changes which are constantly taking place in matter around them knowing and caring just a little about the nature, and modes of action, of the mind that observes and knows.
Philosphy is the result of reflection. The first man who considered his own mind, its past experiences and obser* vations was a philosopher.
Is philosophy beneficial? Let us consider some particular subject, as astronomy. The mass of humanity see nothing of interest or importance in the glorious orb of day, the queen of the night or the stars of the sky, and know so little of their nature and of the causes of their various phenomena, that they are filled with terror at an eclipe of the moon or sun or on tbe appearance of a comet, and get no benefit from them other than the ligbt and heat they BO freely bestow on all around. Those who have studied the nature of these bodies, and the cause of their motions know that the comets are not dangerous and that an eclipse will not injure either the sun or moon And further from the knowledge gained in these investigations they are able to furnish their fellows many valuable ideas. The data for finding latitude and longitude, obtained from the study of the heavenly bodies, makes commerce possible,- which industry has done more for the elevation of humanity than all the others put together.
Tne benefit is so manifest in this and many other directions, that| the world understands that it is for its interest to encourage the thorough study of geology, chemistry, botany, etymology etc., and further, that it is profitable, for each individual to have some knowledge of these subjects. The few must help the many, hence, schools and teachers.
But the teacher must know, not on ly the subject to be taught, but must know well the mind to which it is to be taught.
The success of a teacher will*depend largely on tbe extent of his knowledge in these two directions. Thus arises the necessity for the study of psycology, or the nature and phenomena of tbe mind.
But man recognizes a Deity, and the necessity of instruction as to the nature of Deity, and bis duty to Deity. Those called on to instruct in these matters, must not only understand man or Psychology, but must understand something of Theology, or of the nature of Deity, and his manifests tions.
If this is the true nature ol Philosophy, if it does include the study of matter of mind and of Deity, and if Philosophy in each and all of these directions is beneficial to man, then the man who has done something, be it ever so little, to improve or advance philosophy in either of it's divisions is the world's benefactor.
That we may more fully understand Lord Bacon's character, let us consider the different ways in which different persons will investigate the same subject, thus arriving at very diverse conclusions. The history of table turning furnishes a good illustrations.
Four or five respectable intelligent and honest persons sit silently around a bare table, with their hands upon it, each one thinking intently on the same subject the table moves each person affirms that there has been no conscious muscular effort What caused the movement? Some in trying to find the cause of this phenomena, considering the intelligence and honesty of these persons at length arrive at the conclusion that some power beyond human power moved the table, that it must have been tbe work of spirits. They are satisfied that the phenomena can be accounted for in no other way, hence, it must be spirits.
Others come to the conclusion that the table becomes charged with electricity from these persons, and that the electricity causes the table to move. They perform no experiments to substantiate their theory, but are satisfied that the movement can be accounted for in this and in no other way, hence, it must be electricity.
Others, not knowing much about spirits or electricity, think the movement caused by unconscious muscular effort on the part of those around the table. The theory is substantiated by no experiments, but there is such a thing as unconscious muscular effort, it will account for the movement, hence it must be unconscious muscular effort. Neither Beems to be well sustained to an outsider, but, each is held with strong tenacity.
Others examine the subject, they know of no way to prove, or disprove the first theory, so turn their attention to the second.
They apply delicate tests, and find that there is no electricity in the table they charge the table with electricity, but it moves not. These experiments effectually disposed of the electrical theory. Incase of the third theory, the fact of unconscious muscular effort, is taken for granted the smooth table covered with a smooth cloth, tbe cloth moved, tbe table did not when the persons about the table were cautioned to be on their guard, against this unconscious action, the table moved not these, and other experiments, led them to the conclusion that the evidence was in favor of the third theory.
These last found that they could NEITHER PROVE, CR DISPROVE THfc
I
was
SPIRIT THEORY,
that they eould disprove the electrical theory, that they could find many facts to substantiate the muscular theory. There is something definite and tangible in their conclusions, they know what they do know.

in passing. Physical »ued its rise abont the 17th cento^v^ Ancient philosophers unistl solans wished the common hea^to know nothing of their Experimental philosophy that to which Bacon is so closely allied was discouraged in the middle ages. Bacon was the master mind daring enough to trample upon the sacredness of aneient and established authority, acute enough to show the objects of all philosophy, and powerful enough to furnish a new channel for philosophic thoughts.
When we remember the aim of Bacon's work, the good of humanity, we can join with Hallan when he says that while Bacon, perhaps, made no actual discoveries, yet no writings prior to his caaried mankind so far on the road to truth, none have obtained so thorough a triumph over an arrogant usurpation without seeking toes tablish another. He may be compared with those liberators of nations, who have given them laws by which th«y might govern themselves, and retained no homage but their gratitude.
