Tlie Jadgc’s parents lived to a great age-, and he
visited them occasionally, proudiug liberally for
their comfort. He.was an indulgent father,
good neighbor, and entertained st his own house
with generous hospitality. His intelligence, his
social habits and racy humor, made him one oi the
most companionable men in the circuit. Nor had
he the. hoarding propensities, Mtiich covet ac
cumulation for its own sake. He spent his money
freely, if not always whely. These traits
character, aside from his professional position
would have made him an observed man in aiiy in
telligcnt commuuity, and with that, he is un
questionably to be recognised as one of the cele
brities of the Oemulgec Circuit
Delineating briefly Judge Cone as a lawyer, it
proper to say, that be mastered the science by
preparatory 6tudy, and coutinuois research. He
laid the foundations broad and deep, and added to
the height and opacity of the structure, until
became an imposing specimen oi professional
architecture. He “&ounded the depth'- the law.
This was demonstrated by the fact of his success
He did not acquire an ephemeral repute, buE an
enduring fame. A stranger, without influential
connections, and without those personal qualities
which attract the multitude, he must have made
his reputation by industry, fidelity to hts clients
and 6oiId learning. Some men gain notoriety at
the Bar by a clever capacity lor management and
a flippant and shallow jnry eloquence, but never
attain to the real excellencies of the profession.—
Tho 6nbject of this notice did not belong to this
class. He was considered by the people, and by
bis biethrcu, worthy of patronage and respect,
because fie knete the law. farther, he had that com
moo sense which enable! him to apply liis
knowledge profitably in the details and grand re
sults of the practice. He was not an oiator in the
usual acceptation of the word. HU voiccwas harsh
and his manner unimpassioned and careless. He re.
lied not at all, cither upon the ad captjnduins, or
tho graces of the popular speaker. When address
ing tno court he was not wont to embtlish his ar
guments with rhetorical figures or classical reci
tals. When he addressed the jury, notwitbstand
log, he was elcquent in his vigorous thought and
logical inferences, and ready command of facts.—
Before the court he was eloquent, because he was
brief, dear and learned. This, I apprehend, is the
only kind oi eloquence desirable tc a judge, in the
elucidation of a question of law. Few, indeed,
like Mr. Finckney, of Maryland, are endowed with
the power of declamatory argumentation. Let it
not be inferred that I disclaim elegance, and even
artistic finish, in Bar arguments. TOnly mean to
say, that nothing can supply tha place of pure—
dry, if you please—legal ability.

“If, just now, Mr. Greeley has any influence
left with his patty, we pray him to call off the
Radical dogs sent South, and leave the peo
ple there, in their own way, to acquiesce in
Congressional acts of reconstruction. It is
ncitCer kind nor wise to insist that those
whom you most detest should become your
teachers."
On the contrary, Mr. Greeley insists on
sending thirty or forty more of those the Ex
press terms “Radical dogs" throughout‘the
South. Wc heartily wish even Wendell

the law is either unsettled or unknown.” The
law mast be uniform and permanent, and the ad
ministrators of the law mitst know it, or the peo
ple live under a despotism. The worst of all des
potisms is judicial , tyranny, er judicial ignorance.
He who will not. from corruption, or cannot from
imbecility, adhere to the rule of “stare decisis?' is
a dangerous judge; and that government which
docs not provide for the independence and ability
of the Bench, provides servitude lor the governed
So thought our fathers,and so think British states
men .now. Hi, however, have got so tar ahead of
all the world, in these times, as to believe that
men are not only bom politicians but lawyers-—
that able judges are made out of any. form
of what we call humanity, by* act of the
Legislature or Executive appointment—that the
Courts are the least conservative department of
the Government, and to make the Judges inde
pendent and tho law stable, it is only necessary for
the people to elect the former cvety threeycars.and
pay them badly. Ali according to progress (!)
Where will this end ? I could answer, but this is
not tho place. It is illustrative of Mr. Cono as
a Judge, to say that ho did not belong to the
class of progressionists, and when this is said, his
eulogy is written. His instructions to the Grand
Jwy were characterised by more than the usual
earnestness and solemnity, and furnished a plain
chart of thtir duties. Violators of the criminal
law, were, with certainty, brought to justice. He
was a “terror to evil doers,” It is said that during
his administration, the saloons of the gamblers
were deserted, even at the Seat of Government,
dating the sessions of the Legislature. He was
patient, ready, and respectful to the Ban. .. No ver
dict wa3 allowed to stan4 if rendered contrary to
law, tor ha hold with unswerving firmness the
function of the Court “to give the law,” whilst lid
was not known to assume control of facts. Law
and'Order maintained their sovereignty whilst he
ministered at the altar of Justice. ;
Such are seme of the lights and shades of the
character of Francis Iliram Cone.

. KAPOLEOX'S MIDNIGHT REVIEW.
TRANSLATED FROM TIIK TRENCH OF D’eTIKS, I.Y
S. Q. EAPICS, 31. V.
When midnight hour has come,
The drummer forsakes his tomb.
And marches beating his phantom drum
To and fro through the ghastly gloom.
He plies the drumsticks twain
With flcshles3 fingers pale.
And beats and beats again and again.
A long and dreary reveille!
Like tho voice of abysmal waves
Resound and unearthly tone.
Till tho dead old soldiers, long in their graves.
Awake through every zone.
And the slain in tho land of tho Hud,
•And tho frozen in the icy North,
And those who under tho burning sun
Of Italy sleep, come forth.
And they whoso bonce long while
Lie bleaching In Syrian sands.
And tho slnmberers under the reeds of tlio Kile,
Arise with arms in their hands.
And at midnight, in his shrond,
The trumpeter leaves his tomb,
: And blows a blast long, deep and loud,
AS he rides through tho ghastly gloom.
And tho yellow moonlight shines
On tho old Imperial dragoons;
And tho onirossiers they form in line,
And the.carabineers itt platopns.
At a signal tho ranks unsheathe
Their weapons in rear and van;
But they scarco appear to speak or breathe
And their features are sad and wan.
And when midnight robes tho sky,
Tho Emporor leaves his tomb,
And rides along, surrounded by
His shadowy staff, through the gloom.
Further from Mexico.
A silver star so bright
Is glittering on his breast;
In an uniform of blue and white
And a gray camp-frock he’s dressed.
■ The moonbeams shine afar
On the variousjnarshalted groups,
As tho man with tho glittering silvery star
Rides forth to review his troops.
And the dead battalions all
Go again through their exercise.
Till the moon withdraws and a gloomier pait
Of blackness wraps the skies.
Then around the chief once more
Tho generals and marshals throng;
And he whispers a word oft heard before
In the car of his aid-de-camp.
In files the troops advance
And then are no longer seep,
Tho challenging watchword given is “Franco!”
The answer is “Sainte Helene!”
i And this is tho Grand Review, t. ,
Which at midnight on tho worlds,
,If popular tales may pass for true.
The buried Emperor holds.

JUAREZ ORDERS MAXIMILIAN SHOT—ItKGIN-
NING OF TILE END.
The official paper of Juarez, at San Luis
Potosi, says that ho ha!' sent orders to
Escobedo to shoot Maximilian and his offi
cers in case they fell into his hands immedi
ately. The same is the spirit manifested
throughout tlic country.
Escobedo prefaced liis dispatch announc
ing the capture of Maximilian and his army
with the following:
Lopglive the President of the Republic!
Long live the valiant defenders of the
Country.’
Long live the Sovereign People
juarbz’s decree.
The Observador, of tho 10th inst, has the
following:
We nre informeil that Mr. Juarez's decree
abolishing the rights of citizens .will soon be
enforced. -This decree is well known to eve
rybody."
The citizens of tho * United States and of
those, nations who have never ignored the
Government of tile Mexican Republic, alone
will be excepted.
Wc understand that the measure will create
great alarm amongst the foreigners; and still
we would like to hear the arguments against
it from those who Relievo that Juarez, or tho-
Govemment of the Mexican Republic have
not been right in promulgating the decree on
foreigners.
Com. S. D. Payan, Mexican Navy, has been
ordered by Berriozabel to command an ex
pedition to Yera Cruz, Carmen and Cam-
peacliy to terminate the struggle.
FROM TAMPICO.
Francisco Rojas has been appointed collec
tor of that port by President Juarez, and
entered upon the discharge of lib duties.
Gen. Cuesta, second in command of the
forces of the south of Tamaulipas, left for
the Army of the East, in accordance with
orders from the Supreme Government.
FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO.
El Republicano says that has it seen let
ters from the capital announcing that the
traitor, D. Tomas O’Haran, had been shot by
order of Marquez.
The Observador Independiente says that
there is 13,500 infantry, courageous and well
disciplined, and 5,000 cavalry, having fifty-
six pieces of artillery, operating against the
capital.
The Governor of San Luis, says tho Mon
terey Periodlcd Official, writes that'the news
of the capture of-tlio City of Mexico by Diaz
has been received by telegraph from San
Miguel, but this important news has nof yet
been confirmed.
FALL OF QUEKEIARO.
There was a ringing of bells, a feast and
a frolic in Matnmorosyesterday evening, over
the fall of Queretaroi We do not ask if any
body got drunk, for the whole nation is drunk
upon the blood of murdered victims.
Wc make no doubt that Maximilian was
shot on tbe eveuing of the lGth inst., as re
ported by us yesterday. —Ranchero, 2oth.
MAXIMILIAN TO BE SHOT.
La Sombre de Zaragoza, of San Luis Potosi
No. 10, after narrating the particulars of the
surrender of Maximilian and Mejia, says that
the Secretary of War forwarded orders to
Escobedo on the 15th inst., to immediately
shoot Maximilian and his generals.—Ibidem.
BEGINNING OF THE END.
With the finial defeat, and probable death
of Maximilian, the Liberal army dissolves
info thin air; or into factions and bandittis.
After that fall every Mexican becomes a mon
arch, and every greaser a god. In that fall
wo behold a renewal of unholy revolution
and unholy sacrifice. That fall released the
Mexican people. That fall will cause theland
to again flow, not with milk and honey, but
with human blood. Their only bond of
union has again been broken, aud the bloody
scramble for place and plunder will crop out
all over thp land, of God and Liberty.
Thc-ir bond is gone; and their glorious
past becomes their still more glorious future.
Pronnnciamentos will fill the air like sum
mer kites, nnd “another revolution,”and “an
other revolution," it will soon ' be our pleas
ure to record. Maximilian lias fallen, and'
Mexico is free. The bond of union being
broken j outlawry- rules thehour.
Drunk.—If tho Mexican, people be not al
ready drunk, there is good prospect of their
becoming ;so v judging .from tlio quantity of

Alleged Conspiracy for the Aasia«i n
ation of Ex-President
A correspondent of the Erie (Pa.) Dispatch
relates the following, which he says comes
within his own knowledge. There' may be
some truth in it, but most likely it is one of
those sensations which seem indispensable to
life at the North. Tho writer says:
M lien it was found that Davis was to go on
bad. a matter which every one here looks
upon as a virtual discharge, tho excitement
umong the veteran soldiers knew no bounds,
fho result had been published days before:
and, halt expecting it, a meeting was private
ly called, at which some sixty discharged
soldieis were present, who bound themselves
sacrec foS^ther under tho name of the
“Andersoixville League,” every member sub
scribing to a solemn oath'that if the govern
ment failed in - its duty they would take
just ice into .their-own hands.
This brotherhood no man was qualified to
enter but who had suffered either from
wounds or imprisonment in the rebel pens
dm Ing die war. . It» now extends to New
xork, Philadelphia amj Boston. While the
bail was being arranged with the Court at
Richmond on the day set for the trial, a
paper was handed in to Davis 1 counsel,
Chari.es O Conor, of New York, warning him
of tbe existence of such a league, and naming
two men in the court room as members.
1 hese men were seized as soon as they left
the room, on a mock charge, and were taken
to jail; nnd were not released until a week
after, when Davis was in New York. It
will be remembered that Davis arrived in
New York during the night; that he kept
secluded as much as possible while at tbe
New lork Hotel, no one being admitted but
those who were personally known to some
one of the party; that he was suddenly re
moved one night from the hotel to Brooklyn,
where he remained until liis departure; that
he left the city of New York alone and in
disguise for Montreal, liis party and family
following on ly when he had telegraphed
tbc-ni of his safe arrival. .When ic is under
stood that the brotherhood were upon hia
track, and that lie was conscious ot it, this
strauge conduct is accounted for. According
to the oath, as long as he remains upon
foreign ground he is safe; so it is hardly
probablo that he will again set foot upon, the
soil of the United States, at least not until
he l’eels'casier in mind than at present.

bond of Mr. Davis. This^bond .will be a cu
