MERCHANTS WHO DESIRE TO REACH FAMILIES WILL FIND IT A MOST VALUABLE MEDIUM. Judge Underwood. The Charleston News, in a late edito rial, thus photographs the notorious Underwood, of Virginia. Asa speci men of invective, severe but jujt, we commend its perusal to our readers. It is written in no “disloyal” spirit, but rather as an index of public opinion both North and South. This latter day Daniel—imposed upon Virginia for her sins,—is very much given to preaching. But for certain in herent peculiarities, incompatible with the sacred office, we should say this dis tinguished jurist has mistaken his voca tion. He preferred the ermine, doubtless not thinking himself worthy to be “a saint in lawn.” But notwithstanding he has cast his lot with the profane and worldly, he never allows an opportunity to pass unimproved by a homiletic exer cise. These sermons are put forth under the name of “charges.” When the first of these was delivered, we cannot say with accuracy. The “charger” hereto fore has occupied an obscure position ; we may therefore be excused for not having closely followed the several steps in liis public career. We have an indis tinct recollection of first seeing his name in the public prints, as the solitary dele gate from Virginia to the Black Repub lican Convention that nominated Mr. Fremont. This unimportant item had passed into oblivion when the accidents of our civil and social revolution again brought this individual scum to the sur face ; now to be rewarded for bis protago nisra in the Black Republican ranks. If ever man owed his position to acci dent, Underwood is that man. He is altogether an extraordinarily ordinary man ; and in a normal state of society could uever have risen to distinction or even notoriety. And yet is be not alto gether an ordinary man. For if he were' he would couduct himself with decency and propriety, and not prostitute his high office for the base purpose of ma liciously venting his long pent-up spite against his fellow-citizens. An ordinary man pays regard to public opinion ; and does not wilfully or needlessly outrage all the most sacred feeliu n os his friends and neighbors. Thai T t „ derwood has taken occasion to and to do it repeatedly and deliberately, proves him no ordinary man. The New York Herald is not generally considered very squeamish on questions of social pro priety. Yet Judge Underwood shocks the nerves of even the Herald. We say not this because we are in the leust disloyal. On the contrary, it is our loyalty takes umbrage at such language and conduct on the part of a United States Judge. Mr. Underwood had a perfect right to be an abolitionist, or anything else he liked; and to him doubtless belongs the credit of having been an original Virginia Unionist. He can moreover lay his haud on his heart, and thank his God in the market place (or the Court House), that he never was as wicked as these slaveholders. This unction he can lay on his soul. But ought he not also to remember, that slavery was one of the lawful institutions of the land; and that some very good people had been slaveholders ? We venture to say that even Mr. Underwood, jaundiced though his vision be, has known of such. Is it decent, therefore, for him, a citizen of Virginia, and a United States Judge, to attempt to stir up the prejudices of his jury, and of all the crowd ot Northern Radicals, against the people of Richmond, by saying that that city had “long been the centre of the greatest traffic in human beings that, ever disgraced the world; a traffic which has employed many hun dicdg of moral monsters and many ir.illioas of capital; subsidizing the press, pulpit and politics of the State, rendering Richmond more infamous among men for this great crime than all the cities along the coasts of Senegambia, Upper and Lower Guinea, Congo, Loango, Angola and Benguela combined?” The Judge is a learned and a travelled gentleman, and of course is quite fa miliar with the crimes of slavery all along the African coast. In this he has the advantage over us. We know noth ing of Senegambia, etc., etc.; but we ■do know something of slavery as it ex isted in Richmond; and with all due deference to the opinion of the Judge, ■we humbly suggest that he is somewhat mistaken in his estimate of the horrors of slavery in that city. We will say nothing here of the chaste aud classic references the J udge made in bis “charge” at Norfolk to the evils of the “Institution”—then as now gratuitous and uncalled for. These remarks were indecent—obscene. No gentleman would have been guilty of such utterances. Yet tbe Judge doubt less considered it his duty to launch these envenomed shafts at—the mother of Washington. Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Madison, Monroe, Clay, Scott, and Taylor. Even the New York Herald , remarking on the above African geographical quotation, says: “His violent denunciations of Richmond and its people en matse were better adapted for a stump speech from Par son Brownlow, or a lecture from that untamable shrew, Wendell Phillips, or for such a savage as Judge Jeffreys on his bloody assize, than for a Uuited States Court upon a case of treason.” And yet are there soma who find ground for admiration in the character and conduct of Judge Underwood. We honestly confess that we are not one of this number. Tom Paine, John Wilkes, aud Lloyd Garrison, have, in a measure, occupied similar positions to their times and generations. They en joyed the honor of holding opinions, shared by very few cotemporaries. But we do not think that history accords them a high place in consequence of •their disregard of public opinion. And yet must we crave pardon of the shades of these worthies for comparing with them this new made model of a judge. If there is a sublimity in impudence, Judge Underwood has certainly reached it. We remember nothing more shame less, more devoid of heart and feeling, in a man of such high and dignified position, since the days of Jefferson. What he remarked to his jury, regard ing the threats used against him and them by parties in Richmond attempt ing to intimidate them—is quite a piece with the remainder of his character. The bully has ever been the coward. It is quite natural that he who will take advantage of the accident of official po sition to wreak a petty personal ven geance on a conquered tbe, should sniff an assassin in the breath of every breeze. While it is very possible his guilty conscience should feel such ter ror, and apprehend such danger, we do not believe one word about these anony raous threats of which he speaks in his “charge.” “The wicked flee when #o man pursueth.” Let it not be said that we are severe on Judge Underwood, because he has arraigned Jefferson Davis. In this he merely obeyed the orders of his supe riors. It is the manner in which he has discharged this function we object to—the gratuitous insult heaped upon the people and country, by this judicial monster, to whom they are to look for fair and impartial justice. His diseased imagination delights in disgusting and revolting images, all conjured up for humiliation of the people cursed to be judged by this Pluto. Some there are who find excuse for the language and manner of Judge Underwood, in the assumed fact that he has suffered much from persecution at the hands of these late Virginia Rebels, both before and during the war. We believe it not. But even were it so, it would still not justify such “charges” as those at Norfolk and Richmond. llow different President Johnson 1 He also has long been averse to slavery. He undoubtedly suffered much obloquy in consequence of his expressed opinions and preferences. Yet see how difler cntly he feels and acts in reference to this same question. When he rose from a comparatively private station to that of Chief Magistrate of the country, he nobly laid by all his private passions, loves and enmities; and with single eye and steady purpose, has ever since been endeavoring to restore peace to our troubled and divided land, heal the wounds so copiously inflicted, and cure the many sores of the body politic. This is a glorious mission—fit under taking for the greatest of men ; and we pray to our President may be speedily successful in his laudable en deavor. P. S.—Since writing the foregoing, the mails have brought us papers from every part of the United States, and all, of whatever party or complexion, with scarcely a single exception, loudly con demn this foul-mouthed Judge. —Complaint is made that the Prince of Wales is cavalier and impatient in the performance of his public duties. At the Royal Academy dinner he gave the word to the speakers to be brief, and spudged up the Archbishop of Can terbury in a manner that greatly flur ried that dignified gentleman. Lord Derby refused to be hurried, and aired his rhetoric at his leisure; but while DTsraeli was meditating something good in reply to an unexpected toast, the Prince rose, and the assembly was cut short. Naturally the orators are disgruntled at such disrespect, aud la ment that while his duties are so light, and his pay so good, the Prince should allow himself to appear so bored. To others, his couduct does not seem ao strange. Special Notices. DR. J. P. H. BROWN, DENTIST (formerly of Atlanta), Office 220 Broad Street, over Hereey’s Clothing Store.
