A Reverend Seducer.

The Rev. Myran d Wood, who has
been the pastor of churches in South
Carolina. Alabama. and Georgia, has just
been convicted at Decatur DE Kalb Co ,
Ga. of seducing Miss Emma j. Cbivers,
who is the daughter of DR. Thomas
Holly Chivers. originally of Wilkes Co,
Georgia, who, in his time. had some
reputation as an author. Miss Chivrrs
is a pretty. sprightly. intelligent girl.
well educated. aud generally esteemed
above suspicion and virtuous girl of
unexceptionable morals. She was con-
sistent member Of the Presbyterian
church of which Mr.. Wood was pastor
up to the time of her fall. -aa 1THa
One of the arguments used by the
Rev. Wood towards the accomplishment
of his object was that himself and Miss
Chivers were congenial; that his wife,
whom he once imagined he loved. was
unhealthy and would soon die and then
he would marry her Miss {. with these
prOtestations of affection he repeated
and pressed his entreaties che remon-
strated and said it was improper. Helm
sisted that it was not wrong-he had
made 1t a subject Of prayer If his love
for her was crimi, al, he believed God
would interfere and arrest it. 5.4v f., Z

HON, E, n, DUREI,I,.

In view of the rumors of the resigna
ton from the bench of the Hon. E. H.
Durell, our United States district Judge,
we can not withhold our tribute of respect
and esteem to one of the brightest orna-
ments of the federal Judiciary.
The appointment of this gentleman to
the place which he now occupies, was
made by President Lincoln, and we con-
slider it one Of the best made during his
administration. Judge Durell was called
to the bench at one of the most eventful
periods of our national history, when the
country was convulsed with strife and
contest in which the life of the nation
was at stake, and when in this section Of
the country the interests of the federal
Union demanded for that position the Sc
lection of man of honesty and fearless
ness of character, thorough familiarity
with general and constitutional law, and
undoubted patriotism. Such an one was
found in Judge Durell.
Since he has filed his present position
it has been his lot to hear and determine
some of the most difficult, intricate and
interesting questions connected with the
Jurisprudence of this country, and also
some of the incest and most delicate prin-
ciples of international law, the most i'm
portant Of which, upon appeal to the
highest tribunal of the land, has been APP
proved and sustained. His labors have
been incessant, and it is notable fact
that in no district within the bounds Of
these United States has there been so
much work done by single judge during
the same space of time. 1t will be remem-
bered that when he was called to the
bench there had been judicial hiatus of
nearly three years, during which time the
business of this district court had in
creased and accumulated, besides
which there was thrown upon him

Another sin is laid at the door of the
Republican party by the Morning Star. in
that it has not denounced the transfer of
Alsace and Lorraine to Germany without
first submitting the question to the people
of those States. The Star seeks to insti-
tute parallel between the conquered of
Alsace and Lorraine and the voluntary as
sumption of allegiance to Victor Emanuel
by Rome. The two cases are not allied
by any principle or rule of procedure
discoverable to us. Germany demanded
the provinces and France relinquished
them. Neither State consulted the people
as to the transfer. They were surrendered
by Catholic France as promptly as they
were demanded by Protestant Ger
many. Neither party to the trans
fer consulted the subjects of the
negotiation. 1t was result of the
war, and the rules of war governed the
transaction. Similar transfers have oc-
Cured in a thousand instances before,
rule that those who 'can may take" is
left to the dreadful arbitrament of war
Louisiana was bought and sold in just the
same way, and the people of New Orleans
were never invited to say yea or nay to
the act that disposed of their allegiance.
In Italy the facts present different as
pect. The italian people were in state
of chronic revolution against their tenn
pOral ruler. They threatened the peace
Of Europe unless their form of govern
ment was altered to suit the spirit Of the
age. France was compelled to main
tain a garrison in Rome to preserve
the peace. When the French troops
were withdrawn the Romans felt them
selves at liberty to taste the benefits of
self-gOvernment. They invited Italy to
govern Italy. They invoked a reunion
with their countrymen. By their own act
they fused with the nationality from
which they had so long been separated
1t was the order of nature declaring itself
when these brothers melted into COM
mon family after long and oppressive
Victor Emanuel responded
to the call which suppressed people
made upon his kipship. What parallel
can be maintained between the act of war
which transferred Alsace and Lorraine
and the act of brotherhood which reu-
nited Italy While we are not called upon
to say aught of the one, it is impossible
to repress a feeling Of qualification at the
other

1t will astonish the people Of Texas
that New Orleans disclaims any interest
or identity in their fortunes Possibly it
may also astonish New Orleans to be in
formed that the guest of the people of
Texas is not entitled to their hospitality.
1t seriously occurs to us that both of these
assertions are liable to protest by the par
ties in whose names they are uttered
Texas will not indorse the suggestion
that their concerns and ours have been
divorced, and the citizens of New Orleans

ing the business of the circuit court,
which continued until the appoint
ment Of Judge Woods to this important
place. The records of these two courts
bear witness to the herculean labors of an
honest and faithful. public servant, who
has not been rewarded in proportion to
the work he has done With it all he has
never complained, but, with patience and
untiring assiduity, discharged the duties
OF his Office, melting out equal, impartial
and exact justice to all classes, satisfied
with the reward which all good men prize
and esteem, that Of an approving con-
science.
He has been life long, devoted and
consistent Union man, ever and always
maintaining the integrity of these United
States as zone and indivisible," and
firmly believed that the power and au-
thority of the federal government in all
its departments should be exercised and
was sufficient for the enforcement of its
laws, and to overthrow and overcome all
its enemies, internal or external To the
lately emancipated race while upon the
bench he has been true and tried friend,
and has firmly enforced all the laws of
the United States passed in their behalf,
especially that statute knowp as the civil
rights bill They, above all other citizens
of this State, will have cause for sorrow
and regrets should he depart hence, for
in him will be lost one of the best friends
OF that people, one who sympathized with
them in their servitude, and rejoiced with
them in their liberty and emancipation.
In the Constitutional Convention of
1864, of which he was the presiding
officer, it was observed that the delibera-
tons of that body were without personal
chickering's or detraction, chiefly because
of the intelligent decisions, patient for
bearance and the calm and dignifed de-
pertinent of its president.
As member of the Common Council !
of this city he was prudent and sagacious,
and in the financial administration of one |
of its bureaus, when intrusted to his care
during the years 1862, 1868, 1864, the
executive ability and efficiency there dis
played was without parallel in its cor
porate history
Undoubtedly the most brilliant and |
eventful period of the public life of Judge
Durell has transpired since his accession
to his present position for it was the place
of all others requiring a clear and COM
prehensive mind and discriminating judg-
ment for determination of the varied and |
intricate questions of civil, common,
statute and maritime law, and the deli
cate and abstruse principles of equity
which were continually being brought be-
ore that court. While upon the bench,
lis decisions have made him the equal of
he first jurists of the country. They
lave stood the test and criticism of the
most learned of our judges and the most
cute and subtle legal talent of the Ameri-
an bar.

Owing to the fact that persons heretofore
appointed as gaugers have ceased to per
form such duties without having given any
notice to the Revenue Bureau, the books of
the bureau are in such state that it is i'm
possible to tell from them who is or who is
not gauger in the service, and in order to
Obviate the matter the Commissioner of In
