PERsoNAL.-The Hon. ISAAC F. RED
FIELD, OF Boston, late Chief Justice of
this State, has been appointed by Secre-
tary SEWARD, counsel for the United
States Government, to prosecute in the
Courts of England, the claims of the
United States against Great Britain,
growing out of the late war with the
rebels of the South. These claims
amount to many millions of dollars.
Judge Redheld is emlnently fitted, by
his talents and requirements, both legal
and literary, and by judicial experience
and fame, for the position which has
been assigned to him. His mastery
work on Wills has become standard
work in England as we'll as in his own
country, and his na,ue Is as familiar to-
day in the Courts of Westminster Hall,
as is, to say the least, the name Of any
living English Jurist in our own legal
circles. In addition to these qualifca-
tions, Judge Redfeld is man of great
Industry and of fine address, and the
country may Congratulate itself that it
is to be represented by this eminent
American jurist in the Courts of Eng
land, in the settlement of questions of
such vast Importance, involving as they
do, great principles of international law
Arrived at an age when most lawyers
seek repose in retirement, the labor
which he performs is prodigious. Since
he left the Bench of Vermont, and re-
moved to Boston, he has given to the
world his two comprehensive and i'm
perishable volumes on the subject of
Wills, besides editing new editions of
other Standard Works in the Law. And
while engaged in this vast labor he has
been largely employed in practice before
the various Courts and in chamber coun-
sell in important cases. His last appear.
ance in this State, was in the important
will case of the Executor of James Nc
Daniels V. Thomas McDaniels, at the
last September Term Of the Rutland
Court, as one of the counsel for the de-
PENDANT. He contracted, during the
trial, which was Of great length, a Sc
we're cold and fever, and was obliged to
abandon the case before it was closed
We are glad to know that he is fully re-
stored to health, and Is able to enter
vigorously upon the great trust assigned
to him abroad.
In this connection. it is important to re-
mark, that the political opinions of Judge
Redfeld coincide with those Of Con-
gress as against the Presidents Policy,
in respect to reconstruction. We infer
this, from his able letter to the late Sen
ator Foot, published in the HERALD, and
extensively throughout the loyal States,
more than year ago, in which he took
the ground that the state Governments of
the Seeded States were destroyed by the
result Of the war, and that Congress had
the power to prescribe the method and
the time for setting up new Governments
in their stead, and also the power to pre-
scribe the qualification of the electors in
the work of reconstruction.

A ROMANTIC AFFAIR.-The Superin-
tendent of police of New York received,
last week, dispatch from Halifax, re-
questing him to arresta lady who would
arrive on board an English steamer, and
who had assumed the name of Johdson.
The arrest was made, and along with
the lady man named jeremiah O'COn-
ner, with whom she had eloped from
Ireland, and both taken to the police
headquarters. The New York CONNER
cial thus gives the finale of the story:
"On arriving at the police office the
lady told her story to the police superin-
tendant, and expressed her determine
ton to have no other but O'Conner to be
her husband. She told him that in or
der to get here with her lover she sold
her horse to pay expenses, and before
leaving Ireland, where she and her lover
were born and reared-the one in the
lap of luxury, and the other in the OBJ.
security of a poor mans farm-she had
borrowed 600 from her brother. She
had known jeremiah O'Conner the
young farmer referred to, all her life
time, and he had known her for the same
length of time. They had been on terms
of intimacy for nine years, and they
were not only willing but DESTROYS to
get married, consummation which,
however devoutly desired, never could
have been accomplished in Ireland, ow-
ing to the impossible gulf of rank.
The young lady is the daughter of a
landed gentleman, born to estate and
great wealth, while the young man is the
son of plain, poor but respectable
farmer. Mr.. Kennedy (the Police Su-
perntendent) could see no way out of his
difficulty, having detained them, but the
right way, 50 he at once arranged for
the celebration of the nuptials. An
Episcopal minister was sent for, and as
he arrived and the slide door which
shuts out intruders from Mr.. Kennedys
front Office was thrown open for an in
slant to admit him, the lady rose to her
feet and exclaimed, "there is my brother
and my cousin in the other room" She
had caught glimpse of them as the
door was opened. Mr. Kennedy there
upon went into the other room and
asked the gentlemen their names, and
found them to be as the lady had said.
He announced what was about to take
place inside, and told the brother that he
was just in time to witness the eeremo.
ny of his sisters marriage. He threw his
hands up in horror, and exclaimed, tim
possible! IMPOSSIBLE"
Mr.. Kennedy told him that he could
not see things in that light; that he was
sure he would not want to take his sis
ter back to Ireland with stain upon
her character; that, in fact, he ken.

The young man asked an opportunity
to converse with his sister in private. 1t
was granted. 1t resulted 10 his recon-
ciliation to the event, and he and his
cousin were witnesses of the marriage

via Halifax, to prevent.

and about $500 in national currency. He

1 Ninety millions of gallons of
whiskey were made in the United States
in 1860, according to the census, while
the last report of the Revenue Commits.
sioners returned but ten millions. This
enormous deficiency is not to be account
ed for by any decrease in either demand
or supply, but solely by the fact that the
tax on whiskey is now two dollars q
gallon, and that there is about one gallon
taxed for every ten Struggled. 1t is be-
Ieved the Government has been cheated
out OF hundred millions of dollars
since the tax was laid on whiskey.

MURDER OF UNION SOLDIERS IN South
CARoL1NA.-A resolution passed the
House few days ago, calling upon the
President for copies of the records and
proceedings in the trial of four persons
charged with the murder of Union SOL
d!ers in South Carolina. The Judge
Advocate General is now preparing
these copies. The testimony shows that
an atrocious murder OF three Union SOL
diers was committed on the night of the
9th of October, 1855, at Browns Ferry,
on the Savannah river, in South Caro-
lima, while the soldiers were guarding
fifteen bales of cotton seized by the gov
eminent. Four persons-James Craw-
ford Reyes, Robt. Reyes, his son, Elisha
Byram and F. G. Stowers--were arrest
ed as the murderers, They we're tried
before military commission in Janu-
airy to March last, convicted, and SEN
fenced to be hung On the 9th of April
following. The commission recon-
mended that the sentence of two of the
prisoners-Robert Reyes and Elisha By
ram-be committed to Imprisonment for
life, and General Sickles, commanding
the department of South Carolina, COM
muted the sentence of these two accord
ingly.
The President committed the sentence
of Showers and James @. Reyes from
hanging to imprisonment for life. The
prisoners were ordered to the Dry Tortu-
gas, but by direction of the War De-
partment, the order was changed, and
they were sent to Fort Delaware. From
this Imprisonment they were released on
habeas corpus, by Judge Hall, United
States District Judge for Delaware, upon
the ground that they were illegally tried
and convicted, the military commission
having no authority to try the prisoners.

THE SUPREME Court ON MILITARY
TRIALs.-At its last term, the United
States Supreme Court decided in effect,
that military commissions in loyal
states, where the course of justice was
unobstructed were illegal. On Mon
day the full opinions were read before
a large audience of the most distin-
guished lawyers in the country. The
opinion of the court was given by
Justice Davis. Its leading points were
as follows The Constitution Is alike
efficient in peace and war Its powers
should not be strained to suit emergen-
cies. The defendant Milligan who was
tried before commission in Indiana,
and condemned to death, has right of
appeal to the civil courts. This right
did not depend upon the he6eas corpus
but upon the Constitution aud laws.
As citizen of Indiana, not In the mil
itary service Of the United States, he
was not amenable to military au-
thorities. The court unanimously Or
dered his release from military custody.
The majority of the court affirm
that the military commission had no
legal right to try him. The Chief JUS
tice and three associates dissented, hold
ing that when the ordinary channels of
justice are impeded in districts where
military operations are carried on, a
civilian may be brought to trial before
court martial.
