Hon. Samuel MoodIa.

We have received a copy of the
BaLtimorscn Of the Goth inst. contain.
ing a faithful likeness of the Hon.
Samuel Woods, Of Barbour county,
this State. This gentleman has been
recently houored with a seat on the
Supreme Bench. Of West Virginia by
Gov. Jackson, andi if the concurrent
testimony Of the press.sad bar of the
State is to be receiyediss authority,
the selection was one most appropri,
ate and judicious. The sketch &c.
companying Judge Woods portrait
is highly eulogistic both Of character
and capabilities, but it is altogether
just and well deserved. It's a pleas.
ure to read Of the lives and characters
Of such men. Judge Woods is EN-.
phatically Of that stamp we denomi.
nate selfmade. By his own exor.
tions and determined struggles he
rose from comparative obscurity To
eminence and to usefulness. There
was merit in the youth-innate and
inherent-and 1t could not be sup.
pressed.

Prohibition.

Tho following sensible article tax,
en- from one Of our exchanges, covers
the ground on both sides of the Pro.
hibition question, Probably some Of
the more rabid prohibitionists will
condemn us for publishing the arLi.
Gle, but We can only say to them that
the Register is newspaper, and pub.
lished in the interest of tho people,
1t is not in anyway "hide.bound:"
Prohibition seems to be the main
question that is agitating the legisla.
lures Of the different States this
Winter. No question that has arts.
en- the last half score of years has
elected more comment, or afforded a
greater variety of views. Temper.
ance advocates themselves are divi
ded in opinion as TO the expediency,
and prscticabiiity Of prohibition
While the extremists. who are
generally ministers and are ignoring
the probable results of prohibitory
Legislation in their zeal to promote
temperance, are clamoring Tor it,
many deliberate, practical men, men
who do net allow their zeal for moral
reform to run away with their judg.
ments, men who anticipate the fu.
ture by the experiences Of the past,
are hesitating, are dubious. Gov.
Waller Of Connecticut, in his mess.
age to the legislature, advises a dis.
approval Of The prohibatory amSnd.
t1ent to the constitution, now pend.
ing in that stato,- upon the ground
that it is mischievous to pass laws
which can never be enforced. Gov.
Click, of'Kansas says that prohibi.
tion hasincreased the sale Of spiritu.
Gus liquors in that state, a clandes.
tine trade being easily carried on
through the express companies. In
Vermont, prohibition has failed to
accomplish the large results expect.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE present dis
turbances in England caused by the dynamite
policy OF those who hope to free Ireland has
aroused the British government to see the nee
essity OF taking some measures to prevent the
importation of explosives from this country.
Minister West has been receiving minute III
structicns daily from his government in rela-
tion TO the establishment of an International
system OF secret agents or detectives, whose
duty it shall be 20 prevent the expectation of
dynamite and other explosives in steamships,
aud thus endangering the lives and property of
American as well as British citizens, who may
happen 70 be on board 1t Is said to be fact
that in all tho larpa cities nf this arv Err-
land already has a corps Of trained detectives
whose presence is only known 10 the resident
consul, but who report TO the home authorities
all the facts in their possession relative to
dangerous men, and that the latter are shad-
owed day and night. Mr.. West has laid the
subject Of international detectives before Sec
retary Frelinghuysen, who has promised to
give 1t his early attention, and will bring the
matter up in Cabinet meeting as soon as Pres.-
dent Arth ur returns from the South.
