The magnitude of our presest ice trade is
not the least of the wonders of wonderful
age. 1t is now said that the ice crop on the
Hudson river alone for this season will reach
three millions Of tons--almost as many tons
Of ice as the whole country raises bales OF
cotton. The greater part of this immense
yield is already secured Hence the houses
are filed, and the overpus is stacking out
side. The calculation is that the stacked ice
will last through the summer, so that when
the fall comes the houses will still be full
This is u state of things that never occurred
before, and those persons interested in the
trade are naturally jubiant The ice crop of
the Hudson river has nearly doubled in six
years, and there are employed in harvesting
it more than twelve thousand men and about
nine hundred horses.

Duties If 0. s. Marshals.


Hon. Robert v, Hughes, Judge Of The
q. s Court for the Eastern District Of
Virginia, has recently rendered decision
which should be a precedent for other
United States Judges to follow, especially
Judge Bond Of our own State. The case
was one Of the numerous ones throughout
the country which have arisen under the
odioua federal election laws, and was that
Of Petersburg policeman charged with
hindering deputy marshal in the dis
charge Of his duties at the last congress
sioual election. The marshal was in the
room of the judges Of election, and being
ordered out, refused to go, whereupon he
was taken out BY the policeman, though
without violence.
Judge Hughes, after holding that the
law is constitutional, to which view We
dissent, declares that marshals are only
conseryators Of the peace, and not super
visors, and closes his opinion as follows
nMy conclusion, therefore, is, that unless
for the purpose Of suppressing actual violence
or of preserving the peace when actually dis
turbed, or protecting the supervisor when &c.
tualIy needing protection, or preventing fraud
actually attempted in the room, the deputy
marshals have no right to be in the room in
which the Judges and supervisors OF election
are performing their duties, or to go behind
ssthe bailot-boxes'' unless requested to do so
by both judges and supervisors. If Congress
had designed that they should have that pow.
er, las it did design that supervisors should
have il, it would have given ii expressly, las
it did give the power TO the supervisors ex-
pressly.l Unless il can be shown that their
presence is required BY the exigeneies which
have been mentioned, the judges Of election
have the same right to order deputy marshals
ont of their room as they have to order out
any unofficial person"
United States Courts, especially in the
South, of recent years have become OK
tremely odious. An indictment in one,
for a political offence especially, or for
violation of revenue laws, is almost
equivalent to conviction. The judges,
district attorneys and juries are partisan,
and the latter seem to think that their
oath binds them to find verdict for the
government. Judge Hughes occupies the
position once held by the infamous Under
wood, as infamous as the renowned jeff
ries, but under his administration, the
Judicial practices have been wonderfully
improved. During the late war he did not
shoulder masket or draw sword in de-
fenee Of Virginia, but as editor of paper
Richmond, did more with his pen to
fight the battles of the South than any
brigade in the service After the war he
accepted the situation, but in doing SO,
ike many other southern gentlemen, accep-
ted too much, aud went to extremes on the
other side. II recent opinion shows that
he is rising little above extreme ideas,
and when he casts them all aside be will
become an ornament to his State and
country. lie Is an able lawyer, an &c
complished scholar and man of the
strictest integrity.

$1,000 DAMAGES FoR FALSE ARnEsT The
case o. Kate Lewis, by her father, against W.
j, Miller, was an action for damages for false
arrest and Imprisonment. The circumstan-
ees developed during the trial were, in sub
stance, that the plaintiff, in November, 1873,
went to visit an acquaintance employed as n
domestic at the house of the defendant in
Bellevue, and accepted an invitation to take
tea with the family and remain all night
She left next day going TO her fathers home
in Allegheny. Alter her departure q gold
watch aud some iewelry, Of the value of about
500, were missed from Miler's house, and
Miss Lewis was arrested aud her fathers house
searched, upon information made by Miller
before Mayor Phillips, of Allegheny but after
a hearing she was discharged, nothing appe r.
ing TO warrant her being held to answer. The
jury found verdict in favor of the plaintiff
for the sum Of $1,000 damages. RtsbTg Tel.
