The following short biography Of Judge
Woods is clipped from the Cincinnati En-
quirer, and will be Of interest to those Iot
familiar with his career:
Judge Woods is native OF Newark, Lick
lug county, Ohio, where h. was born about
Hity-ve years ago. After preparatory studies
he entered the Western Reserve College, at
Hudson, Ohio where he remained three
wears, one of his classmates being Judge
Hoddly, OF Cincinnati. After graduating he
entered the senior casy i'll Yale College
where he graduated with honor.
Soon after leaving college he entered The
law Office of the late Hon 5. d. King, at
Newark, Ohio, who, during life, was one Of
the largest practitioners i'll Central Ohio;
and after completing his law studies was ad-
mltted to the bar, and at once formed part
nershlp with his legal pleceptor under the
firm name of King Il Woods. This partnar-
ship continued until the breaking out ct the
war. Judge Woods has been often heard to
say that he owed whatever Of success he had
i'll his profession to the careful teachings and
conscientious example of his senior assO-
cate.
He was prominent locally in Wing poll
tics during the latter years OF that party. and
upon its death became CONSPICUOUS as Demo-
cratic leader. He represented Licking
county two terms in the General Assembly OF
Ohio and in 1865 was made speaker Of that
body, earning the reputation of being the
best presiding officer the House of Represen-
tatives ever had.
At the breaking out OF the war Judge
Woods was chosen Lieutenant-C Colonel OF
the Seventy sixth Regiment, Ohio Volunteers,
regiment composed almost entirely OF
Lickig g county boys. He atterwardi became
its colonel, and commanded it in some OF the
most important battles of the war. He con-
tinued in the service until Lees surrender,
and at the close of the war was Major
General of Volunteers.
He has been United States Circuit Judge
for about fourteen years, his circuit embrac-
ing the States of Louisiana, Georgia and Ala
bama. He resides sometimes at Montgomery,
Alabama, but Atlanta, Georgia, is now his
home, where he dispenses hospitality at his
elegant residence with a liberal hand. His
wife is sister of General Willard Warner
formerly United States Senator from Alabama
a son and daughter completing the family cir
Gle.
Judge Woods is man of fine presence, anc
while companionable in Its largest sense, he
is vet possessed of native dignity that is only
the more attractive because entirely free tron
austerity.

The Chinese Treaty.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-The Commercial
Bulletin, quoting Commissioner Swift's state
ments about Chinese naturalization being
null and void says
"If Swift is correctly reported here we are
inclined to think that no such treaty as he
and mis- conferrees have brought home with
them will ever receive the sanction of the
United States senate. There are many Chi
nese merchants III San Francisco to-day who
have for years past been citizens of the
United States, through due process of the
naturalization laws, who are among the arg-
est tax payers of the Pacific coast; and in
New York the courts, as is we'll known, have
had no scruples about granting naturalization
papers to persons Of this nationality. The
exclusion is totally at variance with the spirit
of our free institutions"

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.--The sports in West
ern Union have been terribly twisted by the
last rise IN the stock. The losses of promin-
ent operators, intimate friends of Vanderbilt,
are estimated at 100000. The relatives of
the latter lost 100000, and a Broad street
broker lost the same. A prominent new op-
orator lost Sl50,000, and former partner of
Gould dropped $4,000 on the deal. It is
stated that Gould, Gen. Palmer and Dr..
Green, Of the Western Union, held private
conference on telegraphlc matters late Satur-
day afternoon. It is rumored the way was
paved for peace, either by pooling the earn
ings or by consolidation of the companies.

! When the Captain had finished the letter,
she was ready with another, adding:
"And This is addressed to my daughter,

0athS and Gloves.

During the hearing of case in the Edmen-
ton county court England, recently, Mr.
Houghton, balrister, directed lady to take
off her glove before she was sworn as wit
ness. The judge (Dr. Abby said he thought
that was matter which rested entirely with
him. He did not attach SO much Importance
to oaths being taken with ungloved hands as
many individuals seemed to do; and his
opinion was shared by an eminent judge OF
the superior courts, whose name it is not
necessary to mention. 1t was not the un-
gloved hand, but the manner in which the
oath was taken, that made it binding. Some
oaths were taken without book at all !; for
instance, the Chinese form of oath. Some
people imagine that the glove should be re-
moved because there should be nothing what
eyer between the sacred book and the hand
Of the person who held it; but the solemnity
| with which the oath was taken was the only
point in the oath itself. If greater force were
gwen to the oath by merely holding the
holNvOlume in an uugloved hand--he meant
! if the absence of the glove cansed the book it
| self to be regarded with increased reverence
he would ask how could the use of gloves
be justified in church, where many Of tht
congregation could always be seen reading
| their Bibles when their hands We're gloyed :
Reverence in taking the oath was the only
| thing which was necessary. He had secI

Editor Butte MINER:

Editor Butte MINER:
Representative Reagan, Of Texas, is the au-
thor Of or at any rate, is responsible for, the
interstate commerce bill now before the

government to limited control over rates
upon railroads running through mole than
ene state. The bill will be discussed during
the present session but not probably passed.
It will come up again in the 47th congress.
The subject is so important that hardly see
how it can be left undecided long. One rea-
son why unexpected interest will be shown
in the subject in congress at this session is a
present and wholly unjustliable quarrel be-
tween the two railroads running out OF this
city to New York. Both roads run overland
in this district, in Maryland, Delaware and
New Jersey: One of them happens to have
power to delay trains on the other, and does
it to the damage hot only of the citizens OF
the states mentioned, and of this district, but
of all from the east and south who have busi-
ness relations with each other. hardly think
the Reagan bill will pass in its present form,
but in some shape it must be considered, and
l have no doubt that within the next three
years government control over railroads run.
