Thn senior editor of this paper is re • ponsihh* exclusively for this article, and so states the fact in <lkforenco to the sensitive feeling of the junior on the subject of which it treats. This pre face, we trust, will relieve our junior as well us his honored father of any ent harrassment, and allow us to speak with freedom of one whom we have long claimed us a most esteemed personal friend, when we say that the an nouncemetit of the resignation of the Hon. John 11. <rvi* as President Judge of thi* (49th) judicial district, on I'ri- ! day of last week, was like a thunderlmll j in a clear sky. Although there had been rumors afloat for * one time that j the Judge contemplated such a step, < very f-w expected it so soon. "Few die ' I and none resign, KM the language of (he street, and the phrase that fit a ■ congressmen or a legislator wie freely l applied to a judge. The action of Judge 1 j Urvis is u matter of regret to the people J j of this judicial district, and particularly i to the people of hi* own county of Ce ; tre. During the nearly ten years he ' has presided over our courts he hits 1 l>een reversed two or three limes only, though many eases have been 1 taken up. The criminal calender has been reduced to a tnero skeleton when compared with us giant pro I | portions in the time preceding I i his elevation to the bench. Ills name i hud become a terror to evil doer* and a j I strong bulwark, behind which the | friends of law and order could rally , The bench and bar of Centre has ever ■ been one of the strongest in the siate , and in all the bright galaxy of legal i ami judicial mind*, no Mar shine* with j brighter lustre as it judge than the one ; which hu* ju*t set. The liench lose* a Nestor, but the bar can welcome buck j tut Achille*. There is nothing negative in the character of Judge <>rvi, his j (MMitivene** assert* itself in every linia { tnent of hi* face, in eveiy gesture. Only I a positive man can be a judge. With 'one of the brightest intellects, pro ; | roundly learned in the law, fearless in the discharge of his duties, he leaves j the bench with a judicial teputution i second to none. No man h.-ts been ' more maligned than Judge Orvi*, yet he j | has never once raised his voice in hi- j | own defence, or suffered hi* friend* to I 1 defend bun. We once heard him say ! J that he "did not intend that criminal* ! should approve his administration ol j justice."' .don, who a year ago could j find a hundred reason* why he should I not le on the Ix-ncb, can now give five hundred reasons why he should Ix- | ! there. We do not appreciate a jewel ! I until we lose it. The self-made man is j always well made. He take* his time, i works slowly and r >und* off all the ; corners and angles. He doe* not lala.r merely for a fine |>oli*li, hut there is a j firmness and an individuality *tain|>ed j u|mn the w -rk that shows the hand of ! the master. Judge Orvi* i* emphatically ! a self-made man and indebted to no ad j i ventittous circumstance* hr hi* ri*e to j j excellence in his |.rofa**ion. Home ' I imagine that there is a fioiiticai sign ill > j cance in the resignation—something t j hidden and mysterious, and are tortur I ing themselves to find out what it ia j We are not authorized to speak for him. We were not consulted liefore nor have we been advised since as to the reason*. It is not difficult, however, to arrive at a correct solution. The judgeship, *o far a* it* salary is concerned to a lawyer I of his ability, is a small thing—it is ' absolutely nothing compared to what he can make practicing law and attend ing to his private husineas. He had reaped all (lie honor of the |>o*ition long ago, and there was nothing to in duce him to remain. Indeed he could not afford now to he bound hand and foot, when bis own private busineas and hia profession offered better induce nients to obtain that competency which we all desire. Ten years more of re tirement on the bench would have left Judge Orvia knocking gently at the door ol old age. He would then have hesitated long about engaging in the ; turmoil of busy life. To-day he ia fresh, vigorous and alrong. The Ore of youth ia finely tempered by the wisdom, calm \ nesa and justice acquired on the bench, and while hi* retirement may be a mat j ter of regret to the people of the 49. h judicial district, they cannot hulreai>ect ■ the personal considerations involved end the deaire of the judge to lie free to think and act on all queeiinn* of what ever character, unirsmeUd by thejudi rial erm ne which he has upheld un 'sullied iu hi* official career.
