From that time until its final disposition the Judgeswere subjected to close observation, and most of them to unfriendlycomment. Their every action and word were watched and canvassed asthough national interests depended upon them. I was myself the subjectof a most extraordinary exhibition of feeling on the part of membersof the lower house of Congress, the immediate cause of which was acircumstance calculated to provoke merriment. Towards the close ofJanuary, 1868, I was invited to a dinner gi...ven by Mr. Samuel Ward tothe Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. McCullough. It was understood thatthe dinner was to be one of unusual excellence, and that gentlemenof distinction in Congress would be present. As some of the invitedguests desired to go to New York on the same evening, the hour wasfixed at five. A distinguished party assembled at that time at therooms of Welcker, a noted restaurateur in Washington. Our host, Mr. Ward, was a character deserving of special notice. He had been amember of the noted firm of bankers, Prime, Ward & King, of NewYork; and afterwards represented our government in Brazil.
