AN URGENT JUDGE.


Judge Wilson and Mr.. Eldridge of the Ju-
dietary Committee, who spent the recess in
New Orleans taking testimony regarding Judge
Dureii, are busy preparing it, and will place it
oeiore the full committee in short time. The
osiuence SHOWS a very unpromisng case for Mr..
Du'eii' "no ''lat The days of his usefulness are
ABOUT ended. Among the important noints of
the testimony are the following, in regard 70
the midnight order, as it is termed, issne5 h.,
Durell, by which the Mechanics Institute nj. =.
of meeting of the legislature was seized II
came out that the order was issued on Durelps
own motion and without the knowledge of
either attorneys acting in the matter In other
words, Durell made the motion for this order
to himself as judge, and in the latter capacity
issued it. 1t also appeared that Durell made
his orders in regard to one of his familiars. for
the purpose of throwing the chief business
bankrupt cases into his hands. The first order
was directing that in all bankrupt cases this
special friend, named Norton, should be as
signee except where the creditors appointed
some other person. Lest this appointment of
other persons should after time take the bus-
ness out of Norton's hands, it was further pro-
vided in the ordtr that he should act as co-as
signee in all this latter class of cases. When
the trouble arose about excessive fees, Durell
made another order to the effect that no COM
plant ahcut fees or papers looking to securing
a remedy for excessive fees should be filed un
less fifty dollars was first deposited. This of
course greatly lessened the formal complaints
about the rates fixed by Norton. There is much
evidence tending to connect Durell with Nor
tom success and on this the case for the i'm
Pesehment VIII mainly rest. The committee

The Boston Journal in long editorial
gives many reasons for revising and curtail-
ing what IL known as the Postal Car Service.
1t claims that the volume of mail matter is
now so great that the few trains having nos
tai cars attached are unable to take care of If
and thus it is delayed. The article further
shows that the service is very expensive and
insists that the public can be more expedi-
tiously served and alta much less expense by
having the'mails made up to greater extent
n post Offices and dispatched on more trains.
MS is a matter worthy of the attention of
