THE JUSTICIARY OF PENNSYLVANIA.. [TO THE EDITOR OF TUB "SPEOTLTOR.1
SIE,—I have read with regret in an article in your paper of September 7 on the "The American Judiciary" the sentence, "The corruption of the Pennsylvania Bench, in particular, was notoriously as great as that of the worst part of the New York Judiciary." My knowledge of the Pennsylvania Bench, extending for more than twenty years, enables me to say, without fear of contradiction from anyone, that not only is this charge absolutely without foundation, but there never has been even the least suspicion of such a thing.
Your journal is so widely read among a certain class here that I am quite sure you will not hesitate to make this correction.—.
I am, Sir, &c., Wm. HENRY RAWLE. 710 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, October 14, 1872.
[We are very happy to believe our correspondent, and can only say that the New York press is very unjust to Pennsylvania.— En. Spectator.]
