A LAFAYETTE PRIVILEGE. M. Rene de Clnimbrun, great-great-grandson of the Marquis de Lafayette, proved to-day that Republics are not always ungrateful by getting admitted by special permission of the Court of Appeals to the Bar of the State of New York (writes a correspondent of ‘ The Times ’ on April 18). Only United States citizens can be admitted to the Bar, and M, de Chambrun was born in Paris. But ISO years ago the General Assembly of the State of Maryland thought so highly of the services to this country rendered by his great forebear to make him and his male descendants for ever “ natural horn citizens ” of Maryland. It has taken M. de Chamhrun two years to satisfy the Court of Appeals that under the Federal Constitution he is entitled to the same “ immunities, rights, and privileges ” in New York, or any other State of the Union, as he is in Maryland.
