HON. GEORGE w. SMITH.

Our dispatches yesterday announced
the death, by yellow fever, of the Hon
orable George w. Smith, at his home
in Columbus, Texas. Judge Smith
came TO Columbus from Kentucky, in
lSi7. He was one of the ablest law
yers Of Texas. He made an able Dis
trict Judge before the war. He was in
the convention of 1866, and the same
year was elected as one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court, to be
turned out by the bayonet order of
Sheridan in the next year.
As q member of our House of Repro
sentatiyes last winter, he won golden
opinions by his ability, honesty and
laborious efforts to help relieve our
people. He was chiefly the author of
our present election law, by which
frauds are prevented, and the people
can vote In their respective precincts.
Honored be his memory among the
people ofTexas.
The Galveston News has the follow.
Ing brief mention of Judge Smith:
Judge Smith was reared as u Wing,
but was never an active politician un-
I'll his efforts to redeem the country
from Radical misrule aroused all his
zeal and energy, and he was an ardent
member oil the Democratic party. He
did not favor secession, but stood by
his State and people IN the struggle
for independent government. Conser-
vative In his principles; an uncompro-
missing opponent corruption, extrav-
a,ance and disagreement OF every
kind, he was an eminently practical
and useful legislator.
ASH Supreme Judge, while he was
without literary pretensions or en-
larged general culture, as a member OF
court he was invaluable; as All accurate,
precise lawyer, on all subjects which
had been before our own courts, he l.
satd f, have lad the most thorough and
reuds f.eolIection OF the statutes and
decisions Of our own State OF any law.
yer In IeKus. On almost every subject
he could from memory cite the deci
elons u our Supreme Court, the vol
ume, and often the page where the,
were to be found.
Judge Smith married In Colorud,
county. His wife had died severa
years preceding him. He leaves tw
sons. now heIilE educated, we believe
In Kentucky. He had been very sp,

ONE of the signs Of what history will
do with the memory Of men who out
ragged humanity during and since the
late war, is seen in the fact that every
official connected with the military
murder Of Mrs, Surratt, an innocent
woman, IL moving heaven and earth
to wash his hands Of the monstrous
deed, Even Joe Holt has come ou to
