Caleb Cushing is deserving of some
reward from the Republican party.
He was one among those who aided to
break up tho Democratic party in 1860.
AS president of tho Charleston convcn-
ton, nc presided Mt the adjourned ses-
sion OF that body at Baltimore. 1t
was there that he threw his gavil down
on the floor in Il fit OF anger, and de-
claring that the deliberations of the
convention were ut AN end, invited his
friends and those who had acted with
them, to proceed to the Maryland In
stitutc. He then came down out of the
chair, aiIectionatcly seized the arm of
Ben Butler, of massachusetts, and went
out followed by Ben fiaiict, of Massa-
chusetts, and those delegates who op-
posed Douglas. The delegates who re-
manned chccrcd and hurrahcd for the
Little Giant while the exodus was
going on. This it was that led to the
disruption of the Democratic party
The delegates who remained in the
Front street theatre nominated Stephen
a. Douglas for the presidency, while
those who went to The Maryland Insti-
tutc, led by Caleb Cushing, nominated
John G. Breckenridge. The result OF
this was the election of Abraham Lin
coin, by II minority vote.

dent johnson. The fact that Mr.. Waite
broke over party lines and consented
to be a candidate against Ashley,
speaks volumes for the conservatism Of
his views.
We may congratulate the people of
the United States upon the accident
which secures in the seat of Chase an
educated gentleman and able lawyer,
whose only political contest for seat
in the National Legislature was against
the man and the radical faction who
villitied the late Chief Justice for his
conduct Of the Impeachment trial.

At a meeting of the members of the
Bar Of the parish of Caldwell, held al
| the courthouse in the town of Colum.
bia, OH the 22d day of December, 1873,
Judge J. J. Stringer was called to the
Chair, to act as President of the meet
ing and, on motion of Thomas J.
Hough, Esq, J. e. Barry, Clerk of the
Court, was selected to act SIS Secretary
of tho meeting. Whereupon, Thomas
J. Hough, ESQ, offered tho following
preamble and resolutions, as follows:
WHEREAS, On the Sth day Of Sep
tember, 1873, Judge Thomas S. Craw-
ford and Dist. Attorney Harris, of this
judicial District, were assassinated in
the parish of Franklin, while en- route
for Winnsboro to attend IA session of
the District Court; and
WHEREAS, 1t is proper and right to
take some measures appropriate to the
life and death of these honorable and
highly respectable officers; therefore,
be it
.pesolued, That the assassination of
Judge Thomas S. Crawford and Dis
trict Attorney Arthur III. Harris, is a
deed so dark as to shock the moral
sense Of the whole community, and,
particularly, of the members Of the
Bar of this District, who feel that the
good order and peace Of society de-
pends upon the personal safety and in
dependence of the Judiciary.
Zoesolucd, That the life of Judge
Crawford, from youth to age, has been
passed among us; we have witnessed
| tive education and infirm health; and
have seen him, by the native vigor Of
his mind, rise to eminencc in his pro-
! fession, in spite of adverse fortune.
Ieesoired, That, while Judge Craw-
ford, with his too open and frank eX-
preston of sentiment, created many
enemies, we can bear witness that, as a
| Judge, he was incorruptible, and that
| his utmost efforts seemed directed to
the preservation of public order, and
the enforcement Of the laws.
ReSo1ved, That, in the death of Ar
thur III. Harris, tho Bar has suffered
the loss of an able, efficient and up.
right member; his friends, generous.
genial and warm-hearted companion
and the community, an energetic, use
full, and public spirited citizen; and
Resolred, That we, their associates
and members of the Bar Of the 12tl
judicial District, tender to the familie
Of the deceased our warnest sympa
thies and coincidence in their sad be
reavelnent.
Which resolutions were unanimousl,
adopted.
And upon motion of Thos. Il. Mere
dith, Esq, it was resolved that MI
Hongh present the proceedings of thi
meeting to the Judge of the Distric
Court, at the next meeting Of th
Court, with the request that they b.
spread upon the minutes OF the Court
| And it was further resolved, that thu
newspapers in the 18th judicial Dis
trict, and in the parish OF Ouachita, bt
requested to publish the proceeding:
of this meeting.
| Upon motion of Mr.. llough, tn,
meeting then adjourned.

Up in Wisconsin peculiar case has
occurred, which is Of humorous interest
to all editors. The Eays, proprietors of
the La Belle House at Dconomowoc,
brought an action before Il justice to re-
cover s97 .0i for meals and cigars fur
nished Ashley ID. Iarscr, editor OF the
Oconomowoc Times. Hargcr set up Il
counter claim of $l6O for "pufling' the
La Belle House. Judgment was rem
dcrcd for the plaintiH, and Mr.. Hargcr
appealed to a jury. Tho case excited
much intcrast, Harger being we'll liked
of making very witty remarks. He
testified that Fay would say to him:
.Hargcr, I'vc got Il nice dinner to-day
come in.' "No, / thank you; Pm
going home" Fay would prevail on
him to stay, and after dinner the fol-
lowing coI!oquy took place: "Every-
thing in there all right, lIargcr p"
ssIIvcrything cXcellent.' "Dcscrt all
right"' "Exccllent.' "Ice cream all
right?' "Dclicious, Mr.. Fay" every
well, remember this in yourpaper next
week" In return for dinners and
cigars, Hargcr says that he told great
many lies editorially y - worth more
than 4 thousand dollars. He would
never have presented Il bill for lies had
not Fay fallen out with him and want
cd pay for dinners. Iarger pleaded
his own case, and the jury found n YER
dict for him, which threw the costs
upon the hotel keeper. Now this be
gins to look right, and if nothing else
it has established the fact that newspa
per notices are worth something.

THE DURELL CASE.
THAT FAMOUS MIDNIGHT ORDER.
TSt. Louis Denlocrat.1

WAsnINGToN, Jan. 15.-Judge Will
son and Mr.. Eldridge, of the judiciary
! Committee, who spent the recess in
New Orleans taking testimony regard
ing Judge Durell, are busy preparing
| it, and will place it before the full COM
nittee in a short time. Tho evidence
shows very unproinising case for
Durell, and that the days of his useful
| ness are about ended. Among the inn
portant points in the testimony are the
following in regard to the midnight
! order, as it is termed, issued by Durel1,
| by which the Mechanics Institute, the
place of meeting of the Legislature, was
seized. 1t came out that the order was
issued by DurelPs own motion, and
without the knowledge of either of the
! attorneys acting in tho matter. In
other words, Durell made motion for
this order for himself, as Judge, and in
the latter capacity issued it. 1t also
appeared that Durell made two orders
in regard to one of his fan1iliars, for
the purpose of throwing the chief bus
mess of bankrupt cases into his hands.
The first order was directing that in all
bankrupt cases this special friend,
named Norton, should be assignee, eX-
cept where the creditors appointed
some other person. Lest this appoint
ment of other persons should, after a
time, take the business out of NOrton's
hands, it was further provided in the
order that he should act as co-assignee
in all the latter class of cases. When
| trouble arose about excessive fees, Du-
| rell made another order, to the effect
that no complaint about fees, or papers
looking to securing a remedy for ex-
cessive fees, should be filed, unless $50
were first deposited. This, of course,
greatly lessened formal complaint about
rates fixed by Norton.
There is much evidence tending to
connect Durell with Norton's excess,
and on this the case for Impeachment
will mainly rest.
| ASSIGNEE NORTON.
This Norton has been, of course, a
bright light in the Kellogg party. He
contributed $4,000 for campaign pur.
poses during the last Presidential con.
test, and in consideration Of his pecuni-
ary services was the man selected by a
caucus of the leading lights Of the Ad-
ministration party, including Kellogg,
Packard and others, for election to the
United States Senate for the long term.
The only explanation of his defeat
| ever given in New Orleans is that Kel-
logg pleaded that Pinchback ought to
have something for his great services
to the party as Governor 0tl interina,
and for carrying the negro vote against
Gov. Warmoth, and let with SO much
success that Norton gave pinchback
200 to p.y him for his disappoint-
ment. This money Pinchback is said
to have used in the Legislature to de-
feat Norton and elect himself. The
fact that Norton was not assassinatcd
by some Of the creditors whose money
he stole is 4 crctlitablc fact, showing
the law-abiding character Of the bust
ness class of New Orleans.
