On that occasion Henryremarked, that "he had the highest respectand veneration for the honorable gentleman,and that he had experienced his candor uponall occasions." Soon afterward Marshall wasappointed Attorney - General of the UnitedStates, biit he declined the office to accept aspecial .mission." to France, where he distinguished himself by gaining several victories,in diplomacy over the celebrated Talleyrand.Upon his return. he was sent to CongressMuch was expected of him in his new position,but he surpassed even the greatest expectations. His speeches were noted for theirgreat argumentative qualities. This was especially true of him in that famous debate onthe Edward Livingston resolutions, condemningthe actions of President Adams concerning t h e 'ex-tradition of Thomas Nash. "This speech,"said Judge Story, "settled then and forever, thepoints of international law upon which thecontroversy hinged." He was next appointedSecretary of State; but before the expiration ofJohn Marshall.this latter office he was chosen Chief Justice ofthe United States, and received his commissionJ A M E S F.

8oNOTREDAMEamount of independence which hitherto itdid not possess, but it had an historical significance inasmuch as it amounted to a victoryby Marshall over his old and bitter enemy,Thomas Jefferson.Marshall and Jefferson came into powerabout the same time with widely divergentviews on the subject of governmental powers.The former believed in enlarging them, whilethe latter advocated their restriction. A secondtime the Chief Justice triumphed over Jeffersonwhen in the case of Little vs. Barreme et. al.in which a naval commander, w'hile actingunder President Jefferson's orders, injured aprivate person. The court held that " Instructions not warranted by law can not legalizea trespass." This, together with the fact thatJefferson was the cause of having the sessionsof the Supreme Court suspended for over ayear, kept their enmity aglow, and in a letterto Thomas Ritchie in 1820, Jefferson in speaking of the national tribunal said:"Having found from experience that impeachment is an impracticable thing, a merescare-crow, they consider themselves securefor life; they skulk from responsibility. Anopinion is huddled up in conclave, perhaps bya majority of one, delivered as if unanimous,and with the silent acquiescence of lazy andtimid associates, by a crafty chief judge whosophisticates the law to this mind by the turnof his own reasoning."This criticism was undeserved. Marshall wasa man of great power, but his associates werealso powerful men—men that did their ownthinking. One of them, Judge Story, did moreto raise the standard of the Supreme Courtthan any other man with the exception ofMarshall. He was perhaps the greatest authority on common law that the country has everknown. Among the rest of his associates wereJohnson, Livingston, Todd and Duvall, all menof exceptional ability. And to say that thesemen were blindly.influenced and controlled byMarshall is nothing short of slander. . As a constitutional judge the Chief Justicenever had an equal. .During the thirty-fouryears that he held this office only once washe obliged to write a dissenting opinion on aquestion, of constitutionality. As stated byHampton L. Carson, in his History of theSupreme Court, "The .judgments.pjE Marshallcarried the Constitution through the experimental period and settled the question of itssupremac}-. They have remained unchanged,"unquestioned and unchallenged." , -SCHOLASTIC,In order to understand how great wasMarshall's work in reforming the workings ofthe Supreme Court one must understand inwhat condition it was at the time. Contraryto the wishes of the framers of the Constitution the judicial department of the governmentwas not considered so important and "essentialas the legislative and executive branches. Politicians deemed it a stepping-stone to higheroffices in the other departments. And oftentimes the Chief Justice would simultaneouslyhold other offices such as secretary of state, oraccept missions to foreign countries. A t onetime they were unable to hold court owing tothe fact that there was not a quorum present.At best, the court was in a very demoralizedcondition. John Jay shortly after his resignation said: " I left the bench perfectly convincedthat under a system so defective it would notobtain the energy, weight and dignity whichwas essential to its affording due supportto the national government, nor acquire thepublic confidence and respect which, as a lastresort of the justice of the nation, it shouldpossess." From this we may-infer that Mr. Jayexpected to see the legislative branch of ournational government dwindle down until itshould be totally enveloped by the otherbranches and become a mere tool and weaponof defense in their hands. H e evidently lookedforward to the men that were to take his placein office as persons that would be contented tohave other officials override them.His convictions, however, were not wellfounded, for his successor, John Marshall, succeeded in establishing the court upon a firmerbasis and in bringing about its separationfrom the other governmental branches — athing absolutely necessary to the proper administration of justice.Numerous obstacles confronted him in theperformance of this task, but he surmountedthem all, and with invincible perseverancestruggled on until he had the pleasure of seeing the Supreme Court looked up to as theguardian of the people's rights.During the last few years of his life Marshallwas by no means satisfied with the workingsof the court. H e was surrounded by a different' class of men—men with .views radicallydifferent from those held by himself. Storyand the rest of,his old associates were sroneand Marshall .\yas alone. However, he had theconsolation of knowing that the Constitutionwas above danger and that the Supreme Courthad the power to guard it. :

T h e r e an old grey man wassitting, who said:" Prince, if you can play as well as you singI should like to have a g a m e with you."T h e y o u n g prince dismounted, threw t h ebridle over a branch, and sat down. T h e oldman produced a pack of cards and asked theprince if he could play. T h e answer was " Y e s , "and a bargain was struck t h a t the loser shoulddo whatever t h e winner would demand.

By t h e hole of m y coat, this is strange,"said t h e prince. " If I were h e r e I would surelytake his head off."T h e k i n g was sorrowful, and t h e only consolation and information h e could get from hislearned advisers was that it was all a work ofwitchcraft. T h e prince never let on about hisknowledge of the affair, and next morning hewent forth again,His hound at his heels,'His hawk on his hand,On a beautiful black steed mounted,SCHOLASTIC.8tand h e never drew rein until h e was at t h ehaw-tree. T h e old man was there, and h e askedthe prince if he would have a g a m e t o d a y .T h e prince answered yes, threw t h e reins overa branch and sat down. T h e cards w e r e produced, and t h e old man asked if h e g o t whathe had won the day before." T h a t ' s all right," said t h e prince." W e will play on t h e s a m e conditions today," said t h e old m a n . ," V e r y good," was the answer.T h e y played and the prince won. A s k e d hiswish, he bethought himself awhile to selectsomething difficult, and then told t h e old manto have t h e seven-acre field near his father'scastle full next morning of cattle of differentage, color, and size." I t shall be done," said t h e old man.T h e n t h e prince mounted,His hound at his heels.His hawk on his hand,and faced homeward. T h e k i n g was still sorrowful, and there was not a doctor from F a i rH e a d to Cape Clear but was there, all to noavail.N e x t m o r n i n g t h e chief steward went o u tearly and saw t h e wonder in t h e park.

This he did; but no soonerwere they out on one side b u t t h e y were inon the other. Thus it was found that t h e y were"enchanted."W h e n t h e prince saw t h e cattle h e said tohimself: " I ' l l have a n o t h e r g a m e with t h e oldman today," and h e went forth,His hound at his heels.His hawk on his hand.On his beautiful black steed mounted,and soon he was a t t h e haw-tree.

The old king took him to a large.hawthorn, told him to get up and sleepamong the branches, and to be ready for workat the first peep.of dawn. The prince climbedup to his place of rest/ but hardly had hedropped into slumber when the young princess .came, took him to the castle, supplied himwith a room and supper, and when her fatherwas about to rise in the morning brought hfmback. At sunrise the king came and told himto come down that he might show him hisday's' work. He took him to an old castle onthe edge of a lake."Now," said he, "throw every stone of thatcastle into this lake, and have it done beforesundown this evening."Then he went away. In those days allmortar was made of lime and sand moistenedwith bullock's blood and sour butter/nilk, andon that account the stones of the castle sotightly adhered that they could not be torn,asunder by an evicting landlord's batteringram.

Thenhe told him to go to his rest; and Finguala—that was the name of the young princess—came as usual, took him into the castle, gavehim an elegant room and everything necessary,and brought him back in the morning. At theusual time the king came to him, and tookhim to a valley where there was a large well."Now," he said, " m y grandmother lost aring in that well, and you must get it for mebefore sundown."This well was one hundred feet deep andtwenty feet in circumference; it was full tothe brim, and there was an army from hellprotecting the ring.When, the king was gone Finguala cameasking what he had to do. On hearing it shesaid:" I t is, indeed, hard; but I will do my bestto save } our life. Then she supplied the princewith the accustomed fare. She made a curlewof herself and dived into the well. Fire andsmoke and sounds like thunder soon camebursting out of it, so that one would think allHades was in battle there. After awhile thesmoke cleared, the fire went out, the thunderceased, and Finguala came up with the ring."
