Our citizens are welcoming once more
among them The genial presence Of Hon.
Norman B. Judd, our Minister at Berlin,
now ut home on brief visit for the first
time since his acceptance Of that position.
On this side the Atlantic VIC have made
history fust during the time in which Mr.
Judd has becu abroad, and the Ad-
mlni5tration, among whose ear
liest friends and founders he con-
teSset.'y was. has achieved gigantic
task in TINT interim. 1t has doubtless been
ii peculiar privation to our fellow towns
man to be 1ocated thus remote from the
theatre Of events so vast and vital, since
watching and waiting aud anxiety must
he hugely the portion Of loyal
American residents across The wa
Ter. But :, is to our national
advantage Til: ~Gr citizens in positions Of
prominence abroad should be such as VIC
know b1r. Judd to be, an earnest believer
in the power Of this government to crush
its enemies, vigorous and outspoken ad-
yocatc in its behalf, the answering friend
and supporter Of the President The inf1u-
encc Of all such minds upon in
,ellig' mt foreigners is valuable beyond
cstinn4te ut time when our claims and
prospects for perpetuity arcbcing diligently
canv:ased by the outside world. --.-
We welcome Mr.: Judd to his home
again. A rumor has sprung up since his
arrival, that it is not unlikely he may not
return to Prussia but be given Cabinet po-
sition. It Is scarcely necessary to say
that the past relations between Mr. Judd
and Dit. Lincoln suggested Is much at the
outect, and make the revived statement the
more worthy Of credence. Whether at
Berlin or Washington, the country has, in
Dir. Judd, a laithfu1 and efficient servant,
and loyalty IN outspoken defender.

Of the guilty parties arrested, and more are
to be brought to justice. The majority Of
the parties thus far arrested, are at present in
In Memphis. Their places of business have
been closed, and the majority Of the men put
in the ranks with muskets on their shoulders.
These illicit transactions amount In the ag-
g1egate to over $500, 900. somo Cairo men
are implicated, md ere this have probably
been arrested = -
The mode Of operation Of these smugglers
tas been to obtain permits at some Treasury
office for transportation to Memphis, New
Orleans or, other points, Of say $4,000 In
goods, which are saleable at that point, and
then they put up and ship four or five times
that amount, thus defiauding the Govern
ment and infringing on the late trade regula-
tions. Some most able and respectable par
tics hare been thus derellct to the Govern
ment, and must suffer fully for their fault.
