JUDGE ELWELL, At a meeting ot tho members of tho Bar of Columbia and Montour counties held in Bloomsburg on August 2, a comralttco was appointed to determine upon some appro priate action In recognition of tho retire ment ot Hon. William Elwcll from the Bench of this district. The committee de cided to tender Judgo Elwcll a banquet, and invitations wcro sent out to tho Judges of other districts who had presided hero for Judgo Elwcll at any time, or for whom he has presided, and to the members of the legal profession ot other districts who have practiced beforo him. Tho date finally fix. cd upon was Friday, October 10, and on that evening Ihcro gathered at tho Exchange Hotel in this town a party of gentlemen embracing mora distinguished jurists and la wycrs than any similar occasion in this state has ever before drawn together. the quests.

Comly, now retired from practice, but in his day ono of the ablest lawyers in the state, James Scarlet, and William ivase West were present. Judge Hinckley was kept away by another engagement. Of tho Columbia county bar there were in attendance, Col. J. G. Freeze, C. W. Miller, L. E. Waller, W. E. Smith, G. Herring, R. It. Little, William Chrismau, A. N. Yost, N. U. Funk, A L. Fritz, H. V.

Edwaid Elweil of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, who occupied tho bench In that state for one term, and who came on at this time to attend the banquet. THE BANQUET. It was after nine o'clock when tho doors of the dining room were opened and the procession ushered out. Tho tables were set in shape of a paralellogram open at one end. At the head of tho table which was the cross.tablo Joining tho two long ones, sat Col. Freeze, the toast-master, who was selected by tho committee to preside, be cause ho ia tho President of tho Bar Associ ation of Columbia county, ono of tho oldest members of tho bar in tho district, nnd was ono of a committeo of two, the late Wesley Wirt being the other one, who went to Sullivan county in 1803 to meet William Elweil, and Invito him to accept tho nomi nation for President Judgo of the 20th dis- tricU At his right sat Judge hlwell, Juugo Pershine. Judgo McCollum, and at his left Gov. Davles, Joshua W. Comly, lion. t. u. Gowen, and Judge Edward Elwcll. Down tho outside of tho tables were seat- cd the other invi'ed guests, and tho incin. hers of the bar of the district occupied tho inside. The dinner was prepared by Kennedy of Wilkesbarre, nnd tho menu was as follows: Blue 1'olnts on Halt Shell. Green Turtle Soup. Boiled Salmon with Sauce Uollandalso, Cucumbers. IVnderloln of Beet with Mushrooms. lioman runcb. Venison, Currant Jelly, Quail on Toast, Celery, Saratoga I'otatoos Salad ot Luttucc, Jiwiuefort Cheese, Waters and Ollvca.

Freeze rapped for order and ad. dressed the assembly In theso words i Gentlemen or the Bench ano Bab. On behalf of the Bar of Columbia and Montour counties I most cordially welcome you to our hospitalities. The brotherhood of tho Bar lias been proverhlttl throughout Its wholo history, and It must needs bo so among educated gcnll 'tun, Imbued with tho apult of their prolcoilou, Tho enforcement of tho right and tho punishment ot the wrong. In al DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. our legal battles, on that ono point wo ousht to be of one mind Whatever may be said In praise of other professions or callings, I venture to assert that there is no body of men on the face of tho globe more distinguished for learning, for houcsly and for devotion to tho public Cnnd, than tho members of the legal pro fession. Whether as Judges upon the Bench, or as Advocates at tho Bar, they havo the same high duty and purpose It was well said by a most distinguished lawyer, that "Advocates arc as ancient as magistrates, as noble as virtue, as neces sary as justice." Mr. Jmtlco Bargcant said: "Tho Advo. cate has his share of Influence in every government where property nnd rights nro secured by laws;" but that "it Is in a per- fectly free system like ours that tho law. ycr attains the highest standing, because he is the adminutr ator 'it that which de- mauds from every class, Implicit obcdl ence." Wo are assembled hero to-night for tho purpose of paying our respects to and ac ltnowledglng our admiration tor an admin- xstrator of the law, who lor more than half a ccutury bus been an ornament of our pro- fesslon, and for moro than a quarter of a century has occupied tho Bench, and adorned his couit with a dignity and ur banity which never failed, aud a learning and integrity which have made his naiuo honored and quoted throughout tho Com monwcnlth. William Elweil was admitted to tho Bar of tho county of Bradford, in February 1833, and camo upon the bench In Colum' bia County for the 20th Judicial District comprising tho counties of Columbia, Wyoming and Sullivan, on tho llrst Monday of Dec. 18C2. Ho was three times elected in the District without opposition, and very early in his judicial career his distin gulsheil abilities and sound legal learning and judgment made him so conspicuous that his services, in itnportnnt nnd intri cate cases, were In demand In nil tho neighboring counties; and not only that, but in many instances, causes wcro certi fied to Columbia County iu order that they might bu tried before him. I have seen as advocates beforo him in our Court, the most distinguished lawyers in the stale. I may bo allowed to name on this occasion: Judgo Jeremiah S. Black, Judge George W. Woodward, Judgo John W. Maynard, Hon. Franklin B. Gowen, Gov. Henry M. Uoyt, Judgo Edward Owen Parry, Judge F. Carroll Brewster, Hon Francis W. Hughes, Mr. Atty. Genl. Pal- mer, with many other gifted and able men, If I woro to nttempt a sketch of tho of. flclal life ot the Honorable William Elwcll I should go back olmost fifty years, and say that as n legislator, he is tho author of tho statute abolishing Imprisonment for debt- as a lawyer, that moro than a hundred rases In the bocks attest to his forensic. contests before the Supremo Court as a Judge, that he presided at tho trial of tho most important criminal and civil causes, winch, durine his Incumbency, have been before tho courts of this stale. But I need not attempt it all theso things are written la tho books of tho laws, and there thoy will remain forever; and I beg leavo therefore to offer as tho first toast of the evening tho following: Oui! Guest. Closing n Judicial llfo fruitful with judicial learning, adorned with virtue, a true citizen, a steadfast friend, a benevolent man, wo tender our retiring Presiding Judge this tributo to his character and worth. When the applause with which theso remarks were greeted had died away, Judge x-lwcll arose and said: Mit. Chairman. I scarcely know how to reply to that toast and tho kiud words which you havo employed In regard to my. self on its introduction. It is not of itself nn honor that one has been given long llfo professionally and ofllcially. It is not tho length ot time that ono has held a public olllce, but tho manner In which ho has per formed Its duties that entitles him to credit or otherwise. I thank tho members of tho bar for the opportunity to meet them all, together with the distinguished gentlemen whom they have Invited from other dis tricts to join them in this act of courtesy tendered to mo on the occasion of my re- tiring from the bench I began practlco as tho chairman has stated at an early day in the northern coun tics of tho commonwealth. Tho country was comparatively new., Tho facilities for travel by public conveyances wero of tho most meagre kind. Elliptic springs to car. riages wcro not invented. Tho Judgo and members of the bar usually traveled on horseback. I frequently rode In that way fifty miles In a day Iu older to reach a county seat In tho western part of the dis. trlct. The accommodations then wcro ot tho most ptlmitlvu character. Tho court was convened by the sound ot the dinner horn blowu by tho crier. Tho small room was warmed by n wood stove and tho work at evening was done by the light of tallow candles. But there were shining lights nt tho bar In tho northern counties at that time, Ellis Lewis subsequently chief jus. tice of tho state, Anson V. Parsons, It. G. White, John W. Maynard and Horaco Wll Ilston, my preceptor whose narao I always mention with reverence, all subsequently judges of eminence, weru among thu fore most at tho bar at that day. Tho difllcultics which wo at that time labored under for waut of better facilities for travel I cannot better Illustrate tbau by stating an experience of my own. In 1833 a sheriff salo took placo In Tioga county on a writ Issued Irom the district court of York county, Thu sale was alleged to havo bocn fraudulent. I was then a slu dent. It was necessary that some one should go at once to prevent tho ackuowl- cQgcrotut ot tho deed. 1 was sent by my preceptor. On my Journey to tho borough of York, 1 passed through Berwick, Bloomsburg nnd Danville. Stopping at n hotel In Bloomsburg I saw thcro engaged In an arbitration men whom I did not then know, but who afterward I found to bo Robert C. Grler, afterward a Justlco of tho Supremo Court ot tho United States, La Grand Bancroft nnd others. I reached tho borough of York on Monday morning tho fourth day after I started and reached tho court houso Just in time to hear tho crier announco that tho sheriff of Tioga county was about to acknowlcdgo a deed. Tho proceedings were stopped and tho salo was subsequently set aside. Now instead of a long, hurried and tedious journey tho law. ycr of to-day would first by telegram and then by mall transact tho business that I wu sent to accomplish without leaving his ofllcc. Improvements In constitutions and laws and in tho practlco ot tho law hi vo kept pacu with Improvements In tho material world. Chancery Jurisdiction has been conferred upon the courts ot tho common wealth. Tho common law In many mat- ters has been changed by statute. Techni calities In respect to form ot action and pleading aro almost entirely abrogated by thu Wolvcrton bill. Tho rights, powers, and liabtll'lcs ot married persons aro now defined by statute instead ot by common law. Lord Coko said of hlmsell that If asked a question In regard to tho common law ho would bo ashamed not to bo ablo to answer it at once, but If asked a question In regard to a matter regulated by statute, he would bo ashamed to givo an answer without tho statuto beforo him. To this 1 would add that In these days ot much legis lation It would be prudent when consider ing questions dependent ot tho common law to consult tho statute book also in or- dcr to ascertain whether thcro had not been a change, In tho practice in courts great changes havo been made to facilitate too despatch ol business. Formerly It was tho practlco In the Supremo court to tako books cited into tho court and In oral arguments read mem. i rcmcmucr ono occasion whon a lawyer was reading a lengthy report con taining only some commonplaco principle, when ho was interrupted by Chief Justlco Gibson saying "You need not read that to us, you ought to tako It for granted that this court knows something." It was after that when the present rulo was adopted which in effect forbids tho former practice. If any honor is duo for tho administra tion of tho law In this district tho Bar is en titled to share It with the Court It is a trlto saying that a good bar makes a good bench. While the Judge has great respon sibilities, his labors may bo greatly lighten 0(1 y Bul-' lawyers who industriously per- form their duty In the light of their pro fessional obligations. The profession Is at this timo burdened by the multiplication ot books. Tho key noto on that subject was struck by Justice Miller of tho Supreme Court of tho United States a fow days since. I commend his remarks to tho profession. "Very many of'thc text books aro mere digests got up by the Job, by book publishers. Of courso there must ot necessity bo many books, but a less number more thoroughly perused would be qulto as well as a great number littlo read. There is ono subject I dcslro to mention a subject in which I havo now no personal Interest, I refer to tho compensations to the Judiciary. The Stato of Pennsylvania docs not pay her judges as they ought to bo paid. They spend tho best part of their lives In her Bcrvico, They aro unfitted for other business if they arc obliged to retlro from tho bench, and while they are engaged in that service they can lay up but littlo for tho future. Gentlemen of tho Bar for this cour tesy and thoso which you have at all times shown me I nm most profoundly grateful. During our association as judge and mem bers of the bar our relation has been ot tho most cordial character. It is not (probable that oppoitunlty will ever again occur when I shall meet you all, and these re spected friends. 1 shall always cherish in my memory tho regard and respect which you havo shown me. I wish you all suc cess In your profession, may you bo blest with health and all things that combine to make llfo happy and enjoyable. Col. Freeze then aunounced as tho next toast, "Tho Judiciary," and called upon Judgo Pershing to respond, which he did most appropriately. Tho next toast was "Tho Bar," and was responded to by Mr. Gowen in an eloquent address. "Tho Stote" was responded to by Gov. Davles, who said that one ot the rules of an after dinner speech was that the speaker was permitted to talk about everything except tho subject assigned him, and that both ot the gentlemen who preceded him had vio lated this rule. Ho then paid a beautiful tribute to Judgo Elwcll, with whom ho studied law, and whom ho had known for many years. This was tho end of tho regular toasts. In response to calls all the other Judges present, Messrs. Palmer, Payno, Kaorchen Munson, Overton and Mtrcur responded, all of whom spoko In tho highest terms of tho retiring Judge. Mr. Mercur concluded by alluding to the early morning hour to which tho festivities had already continued and thought it was timo to adjourn, and ho proposed that tho company arise and drink the health ot their distinguished guest. This was dono as tho hands, ot tho old clock on tho wall Indicated tho hour of threo o'clock in tho morning, and then tho dlnlug hall was deserted, and after a half hour's pleasant converse in tho parlor, tho company dispersed and retired to their homes and rooms, hoping to snatch a few moments' slumber before thu sun appeared iu tho eastern horizon. Tho committeo having this matter In charge were Messrs. Miller, Waller, Maize, Zarr, Scarlet, West and Baldy, vnd as tho affair was a grand success In every way, it Is owing to the excellent management of those members of thu committeo who wero actlvo in tho matter and brought It to so satisfactory a conclusion. Tho speeches of tht evening wero all ad mirable, and we regret that wo sre net able to report them in full. N. S. Walker, the official sterographcr of this district who has held his appointment under Judgo Elweil for a number of years, declined tho invitation to bo present with, out assigning any special reason therefor, and so the services ot Mr. Simmons of Dan. villo were secured, aud full notes wcio taken of all tho proceedings. It is proba ble that they wll bo printed in full In book form. .
