Judge Bouvier.
Twenty years ago there was published, In
this city, a work of considerable magnitude and
importance, the intrinsic value of which is evi
denced by the recent appearance of a mina
edition, revised, Improved, and greatly en
larged. This work is entitled «A Law Dic
tionary, adapted to the Constitution and Laws
of the United States of Amerlca, and of the
several States of the American Union; with re
ferences to the Civil and other Systems of For
eign Law." This book was written by the late
John Bouvier, formerly Recorder of this city,
when the recordershlp was a judicial office,
filled by a person fully acquainted with the
law—and subsequently an Associate Judge of
the Court of Criminal Sessions.
The leading jurists of the United States,-
Chancellor Kent and Judge Story, with Bald
win, Greenleaf, and Randall—awarded the
tribute of their hill approbation to Mr. Bou
vier on the appearance of this work. It has
since received the (( endorsement " of emi
nent jurists who. (‘ still live "—of Taney and
McLean, of Curtis and Nelson; of Talfourd,
in England, where many hundred copies are
annually sold ; and of Professors Dwight,
Dutton, Dean, Parsons, &c., who, in various
Universities, have heartilypecommended it to
the students they instruct as thoroughly relia
ble, learned, and convenient. Indeed, as a di
gest of law, illustrated by the most recent ca
ses, and as giving terse and full explanations
of law terms and phrases, with information
as to the diversities of legal enactments in
different States, there never has been even an
attempt to equal this standard work. That
such is the opinion of the profession is shown
by its vast circulation. Many thousand copies
have been disposed of, and the annual per
contage paid for this work and his (‘ Insti
tutes " by the publishers to the representa
tives of the author have averaged $6,000 per
annum, almost from the first. Of the new
edition, 'just published, we have only to say
that it keeps up with the thee—or, rather,
with the latest decisions in the law courts.
We desire to say a few words of the author.
John Bouvier, born at Codognan, in the
South of France, in 1787, died in Philadelphia
in November, 1861, in his sixty-fourth year.
His parents, also French, wore members of
the Society of Friends, of whom there was a
small congregation, in the village of Congo.
nice, (Department du Gard,) which was his
mother's birth-place, His father, one of
the principal inhabitants of Codognan, was
a man of substance—some of which he
lost by the vicissitudes of business,
and more by the deterioration of pro.
perty during the French Revolution. The
unsettled condition of Fiance, and the In
tolerance towards his religious opinions, de
termined him to seek a home in the United
States,. where ho understood that civil and re:
ligiona liberty was fully enjoyed, and where in
dustry, probity, and enterprise were certain of
finding their suitable rewards. Accordingly,
accompanied by his wife and two eons, M.
Bouvier bade farewell to France, and reached
Philadelphiabarly in September, 1802. At this
time John Boutin, the son, was fifteen years
old.
With few previous acquaintances in this
city, and even fewer letters of introduction,
this emigrant family had arrived at a most un
fortunate period. Not alone that none of the
four could speak English, but that the yellow
fever was then awfully raging. Arriving on
Sunday morning, they attended a meeting of
the 'Society of Friends on that very day—the
meeting-house at the southwest corner of Del
aware.second and Market street, the same on
rOlwah.:l l9 4 taken his a n d
nap in Philadelphia, seventy-nine years Dome.
Their appearance, in French provincial cos.
tome, excited no small surprise. They were
recognised by persons to whom, In France,
some years before, they had showq attention
and hospitality, and a wealthy merchant named
James took them home to dinner. M. Bou
vier and his wife wore entertained at Mr.
James's house, until the former got employ
tnent. On that first day, a Mr. Benjamin John
son, (foreman of the now eminent publishing
holm of J. B. Lippincott & C 0.,) visited and
recognised them. Some years before, when
ill in the South of Franco, ho had been treated
with great kindness by Madame Bouvieeti
mother and some other relatives. Ho was
gratellti, and invited John Bouvier and his
brother to his house in Market street, where
ho kept a bookstore. Thus, Indeed, was ful
filled the Scripture: "Cast thy bread upon
the waters and thou shalt find it after many
days." gs His house," wrote Judge Bouvier,
a long time after, "I never left until I was
twenty-one years of ago." Tho elder Bouvier
died of yellow fever, at Frankford, a year after
he landed. His widow was taken care of by
John Bouvier until she returned to Franco,
several years later, and the younger aon,while
he lived, was treated with like affection, by
him.
In 1808, when John Bouvier had completed
his 21st year, being then fully muster of the art
of printing, which ho had learned under Mr.
Johnson, be was supplied by him, and other
Friends, with the means of entering into busi
ness for himself. By this time, he was hap.
pity married.
In 1812, ho became a naturalized citizen of
the United States, and still carried on his
business,
In 1814, ho removed to Brownsville, on the
Monongahela river, where ho commenced a
weekly journal called The American Tele
graph, taking the legend " Justice, Law, and
Liberty " for its motto, and conscientiously
acting up to it.
By this time, ho had become familiar with
the language able adopted country, but was
not so. Volt acquainted with the treasures of
its literature. Ho had a taste for study, how
ever, and now cultivated it. His ambition
was to study law, but was deterred by the be
lief that a collegiate education was absolutely
requiaite. Having accidentally discovered
that he could become a lawyer without
graduating at a University, Mr. Bouvier
made up Eris mind, and commenced the study
of the law, under the Hon. Andrew Stewart,
of Uniontown. He had, at the same time, to
continuo his labor in the printing office and at
the editorial desk—at case and with his pen—
to maintain himself. Ile studied at night, and
one of his self.imposed tasks, at that period,
was to make a complete analysis of Black
stone's Commentaries, which his Runny still
preserve. Mr. Bouvier was admitted to prac
tice in the Court of Common Pleas of Fayette
county, Pennsylvania, on December 11, 1818,
and his examiners, to whom he showed his
analysis of Blackstone, expressed themselves
highly satisfied with that proof of his mental
capacity. At this time he was In his thirty
second year.
Having removed to Uniontown some months
previously, Mr. Bouvier Incorporated The
American Telegraph with another local jour
nal, and successfully continued the publication
until July, 1820, when the increasing claims of
hie new profession compelled him to abanden
the editorial pen. In September, 1832, he
was admitted as an attorney of the Supremo
Court of Pennsylvania, and removed to Phila
delphia, in 1823, where he continued to reside
until his death. His legal practice steadily ad
vanced, and his legal reputation kept pace with
! R. From January, 1836, until March, 1888,
Mr. Bouvier was Recorder of Philadelphia, on
appointment by Governor Rltner, who, when
ho resigned the office, commissioned him as
Associate Judge of the Court of Criminal Ses
sions in this city, which office he continued
to hold until that court was abolished.
While in practice as a lawyer, Mr. Bouvier
was noted for Ills desire to keep parties out of
the suspense and expense of litigation, if they
could possibly be avoided. On the bomb ho
was calls, patient, just. .ital humane. His
charges to juries uere clear and concise. He
never had a taste or tendency for garrulity,
and it/sever could be said of him that he at
tempted to dictate to a jury what verdict they
should give, on a threat that, if they did not
follow his opinion, he should certainly over
rule their decision, In a subsequent course of
procedure.
It Is as a writer that judge Bouvier will bo
known in after days. In 1889, ho published
his Law Dictionary, containing the results of
many years' research, thought, anti practice.
He was constantly improving it for the remain
der of his life, and will be the best monument
to his ability, industry, and judgment. •lle was
engaged In 1841 to prepareior the press a new
edition of c , Picon's Abridgment," in ten large
volumes—one of which was edited by the late
Judge Randall, part of another by Mr. Robert
E. Peterson, Judge Bouvier's son-in-law, and
the remainder by Judge Bouvier himself, who
expended upon it the labor of four years.
Finally, in 1831, only two months before his
death, he gave to the world, In four large vo
lumes, his "Institutes of' American Law,"
which may be said to cover tho same ground
as Biackatone's Commentaries do in England.
The universal voice of the profession, the
bench as well as the bar, has declared this
great work to bo an invaluable addition to the
forensic literature of this country.
Dia early education had been somewhat
neglected, but Mr. Bouvier made up by con
stant study, from the time when he commenc
ed business on his own account, for this defi
ciency. Several years' practice as newspaper
editor had given him a facility in writing, and
ho always expressed with propriety what his
mind had matured with thought. His style
was elmplo and exact, and conveyed precisely
the idea ho had to communicate, or the fact he
had to mention. He was tireless in labor. No
amount of work could exhaust his mind. Ile
who had landed in Philadelphia, a lad of fifteen,
knowing the French language alone, had ac
quired a familiar knowledge of English, Latin,
and Spanish language and literature, long be
fore ho had reached middle life.
Ho loved books, and had accumulated
ono of the largest and most complete private
libraries in America—particularly rich in le
gal literature, but also containing a largo num
tier of the best works in the department of
the belles Wires. The analytic turn of his
mind, loading him to philological researches
into the derivation of words, will account for
his having an unusually large number of dic
tionaries in his library.
On some few occasions, ho may ho said,
like Blackstone, to whom his mind pettily
assimilated, to have flirted with the Muses.
At all events, his Jew poetical efforts which
have been preserved show that he had a true
feeling for the art, and might successfully
have pursued its cultivation.
Judge Bouvier encouraged tho study of
literature by young people ; and his humanity
led him to place Instructive books in the
hands of, prisoners whom it had been his duty
to sentence. In some eases, much good re
sulted from this process.
He supported, with zealous anxiety, the nu
merous philanthropic institutions of this city.
In aid of the cause of Temperance, he gave
his example and precept, with the assistance
of his purse and pen.
MB personal appearance was greatly in his fa
favor, and his conversation is said to have been
fascinating—as much from its quiet grace of
manner as from the varied information which
ho was used to communicate, no matter what
tiro subject might be.
A widow and daughter snrvivo to mourn his
loss, and to remember, with no ordinary satis
faction, that of him it might truly bo said that
ho was
Oood without effort, great without a foe."
Judge Bouvier's daughter is well known In
the scientific and literary world as author of a
work in which great observation and vast
knowledge are combined. This is her Fa
miliar Astronomy ; or, an Introduction to the
Study of the Heavens," illustrated by Celes
tial Mapasind„gparnals_nt 2po_finely-executed
engravings; to wmcn is satins ie. TaraMows—vli
the Globes, and a Comprehensive Astronomi
cal Dictionary." This admirable work, which
is adapted for the private library as well as for
use in schools, families, and by private stu
dents, has obtained the warmest eulogia from
the leading astronomers of Great Britain and
the United States. It has pasted through
several editions. The same analytic research
and irrepressible desire for strong mental la
bor which wore Judge Bouvier's prominent
characteristics aro no less those of his daugh
ter.
Notices of New Books.
Mr. Richardson, of Now Yr rk, publisher of Smith's
Hisfortrni Magazine , bas at length brought
out the new volume of " American Historical and
Literary Curiosities." This constitutes the second
series, and is complete of itself. Indeed, the pre
views volume has long been out of print, and when
a copy does find its way into the rale-room, it
brings thrice the original price. Mr. .1. Jay
Smith, so long identified with the Philadelphia
Library, (its custodian for many years,) did good
survioo to the publio by his first work. The pre•
sent is not less valuable. It contains numerous
original memorials of the Revolution—pictorial,
autographic, and printed. It abounds In portraits
and fee-similes of letters hitherto unpublished.
It has abundance of Interesting relies of Wash
ington and the great men of his era, and there are
many relics of Major Andre. We have fee-similes
of two world-famous songs, " The Star• Spangled
Banner," and "home, Sweet Home," with a va
riety of other curiosities, personal and political,
literary and historical. Above all, there are some
remarkably curious engravings relative to the
Voyages of Columbus, several from Da Bry's
Voyages, and four pictures taken, in fee.
simile, from the raririmut Tiber of nine
pngce printed by Columbus himself, (and
now in the Library of Milan,) which conveyed
to Europe the first authentic information of his
journoyinga and discoveries. Thorn is also a
piature Mowing Columbus on the deok of his
vessel, with an astrolobe in his hand. Wo
can only say that any thing like a full de
scription of the treasures of this volume would
occupy three or four columns of this paper.
Open where you may, there is something to gratify
the eye and the mind—something Instructive and
auggealive—something. in fact, which allows bow
marching and sutioasful have been Mr. Jay
Smith's inquiries into the teeming Past. The first
series was published in 184 i, and its popularity has
been groat. Only a limited number of the present
edition is published, which we mention for the Infor
mation of Collectors. Mr. T. II Mudge, 114 South
oth street, is the agent for this pity, and, we pre
sume, can show the book to purposing sulmoribera.
We have to add that the work has been wholly got
up and printed In this city, under Mr. Smith's eye.
The execution is very excellent throughout.
Disurrtom BENTIMENT.—The Baltimore Amen
can soya;
" During the past week, there has been an ex
tensive g rowth of disunion sentiment among the
people o fJefferson county, and the avowal of
opinions averse to a dissolution of the Union
was almost regarded as treason to the Common-
wealth A better feeling, however, now prevaili,
and the oppressive reserve which weighed down
the entire community, has given way to a freedom
of sentliwn that Is quite refreshing, and the
street " pow include even a combatting
of the otitiment. A person, nb^ undo'.
took to experiment, came out with flying milers,
of which the following version is given by ono
of the Northern correapondetts: Ms opponents
in the discussion had declared themselves in fa.
vor of an immediate secession, and in favor
of them compelling the North, by force of
arms, to return fugitive slaves. They admit
ted that there would then be much danger
of their slaves running away, because the fugl
live-slave act would be no longer operative;
and the only way to remedy that was to declare
war against the North, if slaves were not returned.
But this menace was met by the suggestion that
while the freemen of the South would be engaged
in these hostilities, the staves, being under no re
straint, would avail themselves of the absence of
their masters at the wars, to gain their freedom.
This was en unanswerable argument. There was
no disputing the reasoning, Besides, if the refusal
to surrender slaves were a SUMOiOnt Pause of war,
why did not the United States now declare war
against England for harboring the five millions'
worth of slaves that annually make their way to
Canada? For himself, he owned ten thousand dol
lars in slaves, and boasted of being as devoted a
Southern man as stood in shoe-leather; but he
would rather surrender his property than that this
glorious Union should be disturbed."

(Correspondence of The Press.]
Ban:max, Texas, October 46,1659.
My Dr.kß Pates : As an example of the reek
leuneu in regard to human life, which has fallen
under our own observation during ourshort stay in
this place, I would mention the following incident:
One day this week a friend was standing near the
door of one of the stores upon the male street al
most directly opposite the Court House, when the
court was in senion. It was in broad day•
light, just after dinner, and he was engaged peace
ably in conversation with two merchants of the
place, when they abruptly bolted from him and ran
into the store. Looking round to Clad some canoe
fir this redden movement on their part. he saw,
about twenty yards off down the street, a man who
was an utter stranger to all parties, standing with
a long Colt's six-shooter levelled directly at him.
Without stopping for further observations, my
friend followed the coarse of the two merchants
and sought quick refuge in the store Just as he
got to the door, he heard the man with the pistol
break out Into aloud laugh and exclaim, "Bee how
those fellows run." The man had been drinking,
and would have thought no more of discharging his
pistol into the group who were conversing, than
into a tree or any other harmleu object. The feet
that human life might have been saceifieed would
have given him no 'Janata. To the credit of the
town, however, it should be said that the town mar.
ehel was not long In finding his way to the spot, and
compelling the individual to put up his pistol, and
restrain his shooting propensities; but he was not
arrested.
It would be unjust to Intimate or suppose that
such Rations are approved or countenanced by the
respectable part of the community, or that they
are characteristle of the general conduct of the in
habitants. And yet tech incidents one is constant
ly liable to meet with. Much is undoeirtedly to be
attributed, in attempting to account for their co•
entrance, to the very great prevalence of the habit
of carrying deadly weapons. The display of arms
upon the person attract, no attention, and szeites
no remark, unless from 'Dangers. In travelling
they are almost universally carried, and some ne
cessity for It may then well be supposed. But in
the ordinary course of life, in towns and Tillagee,
the necessity, if any exists, must arise out of a
wrong state of society. We were informed, and
have no doubt of the correctness of the informa
tion, that the practice of carrying arms constantly
and habitually was not common among the better
and more substantial class of citizens of this place.
If a gentleman had got into any dimculty, and ap
prehended an attack upon him, he would carry
arms as long as there was reason for apprehension.
This being court time, and many persons, in conse
quence, being in town from other parts of the
county in attendance upon watt, some for
one or two days, or longer, and some for only
a day perhaps, generally travelling on horseback
and oftentimes obliged to be out at night, pap
tog over lonely and unfrequented roads, perhaps a
greater number of instances of openly carrying arms

In ordinary times. Thalia persons would carry arms
in travelliug, and probably retain them upon their
persons while remaining in town, quite ea much as
a matter of convenience as for any other reason.
Besides this, the attendance of so many persons
having business in court, naturally attracts the
presence of many !petting characters, who hope to
find a profitable field for the exercise of their skill
in gaming; and these gentlemen are habitually
armed. A larger proportion than usual of this
class hove favored the town with their presence,

and the other towns where Rhea prevailed. Bowls
helves are gener.aly carried, either Jur': inside the
waistband, bung from the suspender bottom on
the left side in front, or at the back on the right
side, outside of the pantaloons, by a strap which
passes round the waist. Derringer pistols are car
ried in the pantaloons pockets. Revolvers, or re
peaters, as they are often milled here, are tome
times carried in the same position as mentioned for
knives, or, not unfroquenily, in ,sheath suspended
et the left side in front, by a belt. The smaller
kind are sometimes tarried Ist the pantaloons
packet, like the Derringers, or in a coat pocket.
The fancy and habit of the individual leads to a
diversity of opinion as to the moot convenient place
for tarrying arms, In order to have them readily
aocesnible, as well as to the most desirable kind of
weapon.

lions either in agriculture or trade, they are sot
illiberal in contributing to objects of benevolence
and charity, and to the support of education and
religion.
There is in this town no educational institution
of the higher class, bat there Is no immediate occa
sion for it.. At Independence, some fifty or sixteen
miles northeast of Brenham, is the Baylor fatl
stitute; and at Chapel Hill, seven or eight miles
to tho eastward, is an Academy, or High School,
under the supervision of the Methodists. The Ma
sons of Brenham, with great liberality, some time
since purchased a building to be used as a school
house, and at the "Masonic Academy," as it is
called, a good common education may be obtained.
It is not a free school, bat the Masonic Order take
care that none of the children or orphans of the
brethren are deprived, by want of moans, of an
opportunity of participating in the benefits of the
school, and a committee of the lodge visit it regu
larly. Its advantages, beside, are open to all who
can pay the tuition fees. There is also another
day-school, held in a building which is sometimes
used for an Episcopal church.
The Baptists and Methodists each hare a nest
church, built of red cedar within and without, and
services are held pretty regularly in each. The
Old School Presbyterian' have occasional services
here, though there IS no settled pastor or regularly
organized church of that denomination. They are
permitted, with great liberality and cordiality, to
occupy And use the church buildings of the other
denominations. The Presbyterian ministers who
preach hares regular charges in the neighboring
towns. Last Sunday, the only preaching was by
Probyterien ministers.. The Methodist church
was c:osod, and the services were held in the Bap
tist church. In the morning , the Rev. Mr. Meßes,
of Cbapc.l Ri ll , preached. I know riot what sent,

preaching a sound, practical discourse. The con
gregation was respectable In number and appear

In the afternoon, the service was for the special
benefit of the blacks, of whom about thirty, per

white persons were present. The Bar. Mr. Byers,
of Houston, preached from the parable of the bar
ren fig tree. She colored people were attentive,
and seemed to take a deep interest in his remarks.
After the sermon, Judge Baylor made the doting

I.*NITID STATTS DISTRICT Cot ay.—Judge Cad
walade r.—Minech Snow was put upon his trial upon
two bills of indictment; tke first charging him
with maliciously heating James MeiCruf, on the
2dth of November. 1559, and the second with creel
and unusual punishment to the same person en the
15th of October. 1559. The defendant is the first
male of the ship Thomas Jefferson, and is charge&
with cruelly beating the prosecutor, who was a sea
man on board of said vessel while on a voyage from
Liverpool to the port of Philadelphia. Wm_ M.
Bull, Esq., appeared as conneel for the defence.
The case was greesed to trial, notwithstanding the
view of the lathed judge that it was a fame.
The jury in the case of John Cosgrove, second
mato of the chip Thomas Jeferson, charged with
maliciously beating a Spaniard named Stephen
Goneita, who was a seamen on board of said ves
sel, came into court yesterday morning, after being
out all night, and announced to the court that they
were unable to agree upon a verdict. The court,
upon inquiry, fund that the jurors eoull not
agree, and accordingly discharged them. It will
be remembered that the judge mstrueted this jury
to acquit.
Win Wentzell was charged with parsing coun
terfeit gold dollars upon Adolph Higbee- The
court instructed the jury to acquit the deft., as
there was no evidence to show a guilty knowledge
upon the part of the deft. Verdict not guilty.
Wentzell era ably represented by Lewis C. Cassi
dy, Esq.
6 The afternoon session of the court was mainly de
voted to the hearing of the arguments of counsel in
I , now's case. Mr. Vandyke, for the Government,
contended that malice bad been proven an the part
of the defendant, while Mr. Bull std the judo
took an apposite view. 'To detail all the judicial
Interruptions which mooned in the ecurse of the
addresses would require MOTO space than we Can
spare We may mats, however, In this eimmention,,
that Messrs. Vandyke and Bull, in the eonden of
these seamen cues," have displayed a power of
eloquence that has attracted to the court-room
crowds of audition. The legal contest wu cer
tainly exciting, but gentlemanly to the end. We
think that Mr. Vandyke is entitled to much credit
for his whole management of these trials.
After a charge from the judge. similar to that in
Cosgrove's case, telling them to ',Nail, the jury re
tired for deliberation, and then came into court
last evening with a verdict of •‘ guilty." The sets.
trances imposed tell a curious tale. Cosgrove was
