MISSOURI.


The victory of the Democrats and conservatives
in this State is perfectly overwhelming. Thus far,
Brown gets three out of four of the votes thrown.
The issue, it will be remembered, turned upon the
entranchsement of all the men of the State who
had been deprived OF their votes for participation
in rebellion. Grant and the administration arraved
all their forces against Brown.

LITTLE EPISODE IN OHIO.

Out in Ohio dwelleth good and perfect
man, OF one who consideres himself up to
that standard, named Maxwell P Gadds
And Maxwell wrote before his name the title
of Reverend, for he preached the word into
q small but select circle of the elect And
not only did he preach the word of life, but
also the beauties of radicalism according to
Saint Ulysses. But the Reverend nj. P.
found the truth of the Dutchman's observa-
ton that "Honesty is the best policy, but ii
keeps a man tam poor" He had not tocks
and herds and tcnemcnts, and his barns and
wine presses We're not much on the bust In
short, MAXWELL forgetting the unspoiled
riches which he might lay up in Heaven,
medtated on the flesh pots Of the Egyptian,
and he hankered after them. He preached
less Of Him whose kingdom is not of this
world, and more and more Of the mammon

becoming dignity, are marked with nc
disagreeable dogmatism, and have at

leading members of the bar. Indeed.
since Justice Bradley's arrival the United

One thing especially noticeable in the
decisions and rulings of our new United
States Judges, is the care they have taken
to enforce and protect the legitimate in

pleasing to our. bar, and will operate
effectively to the preservation of the civil
law practice in this State. Altogether, we

GRAVE CHARGES,

We yesterday published a protest
written and signed by Captain William
George, one of the Police Commissioners,
against the promotion of Sergeant James
Gibney to the position of captain of the
Metropolitan Police. The protest contains
a number of very serious charges, as well
against the Police Commissioners who
voted for Gibney as against the new appoin,
tee himself. Some Of the charges affect the
members of the Police Board, and some
attack the character and antecedents of
Gibney. One Of the charges against the
latter-that be participated in the riot of
July 80, 1866, and then lied on his squad
of men to murder, in cold blood, those
unarmed martyrs and defenders of equal
rights"-we think, and the public think,
demands an investigation. We do not
know Gibney. We have never heard
of him before his srecent promotion
to captaincy of police, and therefore can
have no feelings for or against him. But
if he was on the Monroe police at the
time Of the massacre at Mechanics Insti-
tute, and can not prove satisfactorily and
conclusively that he exerted his utmost
powers to prevent the murder of Dostie,
Henderson, Loup and Horton, be should
be Immediately dismissed the police. The
fact that the Picayune speaks of him as
"one of the most capable, honest and eff
cient police officers of New Orleans is
very suspicious circumstance, and is evil
lence against the man it is intended to
benefit. We hope Captain Gibney is able
% disprove this charge of Captain George.
t certainly should not be passed by in
lence. We want no murderers on the
police, particularly such as were the tools

THE UNITED STATES COURTS.

Now that the sessions of the United
States Courts in New Orleans are drawing
to close, it is no more than just to notice
the immense amount Of labor that has
been performed there, especially of late,
by the eminent gentlemen who have oc.
cupied the bench of that tribunal. Few,
if any, of the District Judges of the United
States have had more laborious position
than Judge Durell, since the re-opening of
the United States Courts in Louisiana.
Until recently he has been the sole judge
for what, under different system of the
division of the labor of the bench, would
constitute six courts-the common law,
admiralty and bankrupt courts in the
District Court, and the equity, common
law and criminal courts in the Circuit
Court. The press of business has been
enormous, and he has, with rare ability,
judgment, zeal and learning, acquitted
himself successfully in his difficult posi-
tion-a position much more arduous and
delicate than could be appreciated duly
by one not accustomed to continual OBJ
servation Of the trying routine of the
United States Courts for several years
past.
On the arrival of Judge Woods, of the
Circuit Bench, to take a position vacant
from date anterior to the war, he found
vast accumulation of cases awaiting his
adjudication, involving matters of the ut
most Importance, with reference to the
legal questions involved and the amounts
of money at stake. These were appeals
and writs of error from the District Court,
many OF them ante-dating the war. The |
variety Of matters thus awaiting his ac-
ton was very great, and large proper
ton, arising out of the legislation created |
with reference to the rebellion, were more
or less novel. They have included confs-
cation, admiralty, bankruptcy, internal
revenue, customs, chancery, what are
known as "civil rights matters, and cases
arising from violations of the acts pre-
scribing intercourse with districts in
insurrection. so numerous were these cases,
brought up from the lower court, that
Judge Woods at once concluded to give
the preference to them over the original
suits, in order to clear the docket as far
ss possible of work that could only be
performed by circuit judge or justice of
the Supreme Court. In this endeavor
Judge Woods, by the most diligent attention
to business on and off the bench, and by
holding the bar with firm hand to its
work, has had success that must be az
gratifying to him as it has been satisfactory
to the legal profession and suitors. His
numerous decisions have covered many
nice and difficult points of law, and in
matters OF practice he has taught some of
our learned pundits a few lessons that will
doubtless benefit their clients hereafter.
Upon the bench he has been digniied. af.
fable and acute, and has won the respect
of those who had the pleasure to appear
before him.
Latterly the bench of the Circuit Court
has been honored by the presence of Nh.

A SPECIMEN OF WHAT SrERN's FERTIL.
IzER WILL Do.-Any visitor to the jackson
Square will find near the st. Ann street gate
giant cotton plant, which is already in
full bloom, although the cotton plant in our
fields are not yet knee high. This plant
bore crop of good cotton last year, and,
after living all winter, now bids fair to yield
another crop at the return of each autumn;
in fact, itappears to have changed its nature
and to have become one of the permanent
trees OF the square. The question naturally
arises as to the species of this specimen
But the gardiner tellsus that it is the same
as that grown all over the South. How,
then did it survive the frost of the winter
No one can tell, unless the Sterns Fertilizer,
which has been freely used around it, has
preserved it, and, indeed, the gardiner
positively asserts this to be the fact. This
is very important matter. and we advise
our readers to look into it. What change

Internal Revenue Ke.Uniona.

There was pleasant gathering of Assist
ant Assessors of Internal Revenue at tn.
Office of Assessor Joubert on Tuesday last
from 10 A. NJ. until 2 P. NJ. They wer
called together by the Hon. S. j. Ccnklin
Supervisor of Internal Revenue, for thu
purpose of comparing notes upon the an
nual assessment, which having been done
they were addressed by the Supervisor upor
various topics of interest connected with
the service in the First District, and, in
closing, he gave it as his opinion that the
per cent of increase in collections for the
year OF service of the present officers of in.
ternal revenue in this State, to wit: From
Nay l, 1869, to April 80, 1870, to be greater
than that of any other State in the Union
he stated the increase from May l, 1869, to
| April 80, 1870, over the corresponding
months of 1868 and 1869 to be as follows:
First District-B. F. Joubert, Assessor,
| and S. A. Stockdale, Collector, on collec-
| tons, sixty-eight per cent.
Increase OF annual assessment of 1870
| over that of 1869: forty-nine per cent.
Second District-A. Underwood, Assessor,
andi John S. Chapman, Collector, increase
of collections eighty-six per cent.
Increase of annual assessment of 1870
over that of 1869, sixty.six per cent
He was unable to give the increase in the
Third District, as complete returns had not
been received at his Office. The gratifying
exhibit made is mainly due to the honest
and diligent efforts Of the revenue officers
appointed by the present administration,
and to none more SO than Supervisor Conk.
lin, who has been unt1ring in his efforts to
stimulate the officers in his district to re-
newed efforts to increase the revenues, and
has himself set an example Of industry and
entire devotedness to the interests of the
revenue service that has won him the conf
dence and esteem, not only of his subordi-
mates, but of all good citizens who have been
cognizant of his labors.
In the evening of the same day there was
also gathering of the deputy collectors of
the First District, headed by their chief
Collector S.ockdale, at the Office of the Su-
peryisor, where, we are informed, general
discussion of revenue matters was had, and
"good bys" exchanged with the Super
visor, who left for Washington yesterday,
and does not expect to return until the mid
die or last of September.
