I showed how safeguards which had been devised in the middle ages to protect citizens from the feudal lord were now used to aid criminals in evading the law, and I ended by rather unjustly compar- ing Judge Folger to the great Lord Chancellor Eldon, of whom it was said that, despite his profound knowledge of the law, ``no man ever did so much good as he prevented. The result was that the bill was passed by the Senate in spite of the judiciary committee.
"I'm sorry to hear it, and still more sorry that I have no doctor in my ship," said Folger, "but I have a smatterin' of doctors' work myself. Let me see him." Adams led the way to the hut where poor James Young lay, tenderly nursed by Mary Christian.
The cabinet was composed of F.T. Frelinghuysen, N.J., Secretary of State; C.J. Folger, N.Y., Secretary of the Treasury; R.T. Lincoln, Ill., Secretary of War; B.H. Brewster, Pa., Attorney-General; T.O. Howe, Wis., Postmaster-General; W.E. Chandler, N.H., Secretary of the Navy; H.M. Teller, Colo., Secretary of the Interior. Above, p. 145.
After all was over I came out with my colleague, Judge Folger, and as we left the Capitol he said: ``What was the matter with you in the governor's room? I answered: ``Nothing was the matter with me; what do you mean? He said: ``The moment Seward began to speak you fastened your eyes intently upon him, you turned so pale that I thought you were about to drop, and I made ready to seize you and prevent your falling. I then confessed to him the feeling which was doubtless the cause of this change of countenance.
Such is the rhyme of "Uncle Peleg," or "Pillick," as it is pronounced, probably an historical ballad concerning some departed worthy of the Folger family of Nantucket. It begins "Old Uncle Pillick he built him a boat On the ba-a-ck side of Nantucket P'int; He rolled up his trowsers and set her afloat From the ba-a-ck side of Nantucket P'int." Like "Christabel," this remains a fragment.
The proposed revision of the customs tariff and the Internal Revenue Tax Bill interested every member, as each had one or more pet industries belonging to favorite constituents, on which he wanted the high war taxes or duties retained, while he boldly advocated sweeping reductions on everything else. President Arthur's appointments of Judge Folger to the Treasury Department, of Mr.
"I've heard of that mutiny," said Captain Folger. "It was celebrated enough to make a noise even on our side of the Atlantic. If I remember rightly, most of the mutineers were caught on Otaheite and taken to England, being wrecked and some drowned on the way; the rest were tried, and some acquitted, some pardoned, and some hanged."
Folger, and other members of the 'Kingdom, as 'match-spirits'-the final dispersion of this deluded company, and the voluntary exilement of Matthias in the far West, after his release-&c. &c., we do not deem it useful or necessary to give any particulars.
The humbug knowing that his living was in danger, took this very mildly, and readily accepted the renewed assurances of belief which poor Folger soon gave him. In the village of Sing Sing where Folger had a country-seat which he called Mount Zion, Matthias was exceedingly obnoxious. His daughter had married a Mr.
Whiting's, Canal street, and did the washing for Matthias by Mrs. Whiting's permission. Of the subsequent removal of Matthias to the farm and residence of Mr. B. Folger, at Sing Sing, where he was joined by Mr. Pierson, and others laboring under a similar religious delusion-the sudden, melancholy and somewhat suspicious death of Mr.
