March 14, 1867, -tt,
Pittsburoii, August 30, 18G7.
Your home readers may be interested
m some of the particulars pertaiumg to
the history of our candidate for the Su-
prenie Judgeship. In our cismontane
i . " r
district of the State, a sketch upon such
a topic would be but the repetition of a
scries of details familiar to readers as
household words. With you, as per
contra, is the case
Lot one of a hundr
ofSharswood here
cd of our good people,
perhaps, ever having heard of him pre
viously to his nomination the case is
diffcreut.
The popular ignorance with regard to
this class of our representative men is
not to be wondered at when we reflect
upon the nature of the duties of the office
and the discharges attendant upon the
same. A judge, unlike a politician,
never appears before men in the mass.
His deliveries are not public orations,
beaded all through with glittering fan
cies, intended to fasten easily upon im
pressible imaginations, and so to win a
sort of common fame. lie is only heard
of through an "opinion" all important,
surely, but appreciable only to men
of the profession serving with or under
him, the plaintiff or defendant in a case,
twelve grave men in a box, and perhaps
twice that number in the lobby before
him. A reputation among hi3 brother
hood, however, is just such a one as, ac
cording to its extent nnd quality," should
tell to the advantage, in a greater or less
degree, as the case may be, of the can
didate setting a claim upon it.
Henry W. Williams is the decendant
of an old and respectable family of Con
necticut. He received his education at
Amherst College, in Massachusetts, en
tering that institution (then under the
presidency of Ileman Humphrey, D.
D.) in 1833 and graduating in 1837.
After a brief term of service as teacher,
incited by that spirit of enterprise which
is apt to operate upon a character of ex
traordinary energy, and looking abroad
for a field of more growing promise than
that of his native State in which to cast
the fortunes of his future life, he crossed
the mountains and settled in Pittsburgh.
Arrived here, he commenced the study
of the law in 1839, under ex-Chief Jus
tice Lowrie, and two years afterwards
was admitted to the bar of Allegheny
county. He pursued the practice of his
profession with eminent success until
the fall of 1851, at which time he was
elected to the position on the bench
which he has occupied ever since. His
sympathies and his interests are all with
his adopted State. To urge objection to
him because of his "foreign" birth
comes with a bad grace from 'the party
who are so scrupulously anxious, at all
times, to endow .their fellow-beings of
distant importation from Ireland es
pecially with all the right of citizen
ship. The simple fact of Judge Williams'
nomination for the Supreme bench
entirely unsought for by him, and only
brought about by the urgency of profes
sional men who knew his distinguiscd
fitness for the place is the strongest ar
gument which could be presented in his
behalf. He stands endorsed as to capac
ity by every member of our bar the
Barr of the l'ost included; and were it
not that the machinery of party might
suffer by the course, I think I am safe iu
saying that he would not encounter a
vote of opposition in our county.
Among the many testimonials volunta
rily offered in endorsement of him, you
will be pleased, perhaps, to read the fol
lowing from the Hon. Moses Hampton,
ex-member of Congress from our dis
trict, who has taken no part in politics
since his accession to the bench, and
whose judgment in this, as in all cases
attaching to his profession, is entitled to
the highest consideration :
"I have known him for a period of
over twenty-oight years. I became ac
quainted with him before he commenc
ed the study of law, and have known
him ever since. I practiced with him
from the time he was admitted to the
bar, in 1841, until he went on tho bench
in 1851, aud practiced before him until
1853, when, ns you know, I was choscu
to a scat on the same bench with him.
We havo occupied the position by re
election from that time to this. These
facts arc deemed amply sufficient to
warrant me iu speaking with perfect con
fidence as to his character, talents, legal
learning, and integrity.
"His moral character is pure and un
sullied, so much so, that even the breath
of slander has never breathed upon it.
He possesses taleuts of a high order, such
as fit him peculiarly to comprehend and
determine those difficult aud complicated
questions of law which are usually
brought before courts of last resort for
final adjudication. His leg:il learning i
so varied and extensive, that by tho aid
of a most extraordinary memory, both of
principles and cases, he is enabled to
form a correct judgment in almost every
question brought before him. His iu
tegrity U so elora and unbending that no
one who kuows him ever doubted it. I
take great pleasure in saying that I never
knew a man, either in public or private
life, in whoso perfect honesty and truth
fulness I have more implicit confidence."
As to the question of competency, his
friends are willing to post hid claims
against those of any other lawyer in the
State, I confidently affirm that fewer of
Judge Williams' decisions, during .the
last fifteen years, have met with a re
versal in the Supreme Court than those
of his competitor, Judge Sharswood.
The records will bear out this statement.
The reports will show, moreover, thnt
more of his opinions have been adopted
by the Supreme Court, as the law of the !
case, than those of Judge Sharswood.
Many of your unprofessional readers !
may uot be aware that an act of Assem
bly requires the Supreme Court to write
out au opiuiou iu the cases decided by
Lthem. To meet this exigency of the law
the precise terms of Judge Williams' de
cisions have often been adopted as the
choicest solution, uttered with the hap
piest expression, that could be found for
the purpose.
From a casual glance at the reports, I
have met with a case or two which it
may be well to refer to in illustration of
his eminent fitness for a place on the
bench.
The first.case I would refer to is that
of McClowry vs Croghan's administra
tors (1 Grant, 307.) This case involved
a very important and novel question as
to the measure of damages for the breach
of a parol contract for the lease of real
estate, where the landlord died before
executing the lease, and the remainder
man refused to execute it.- The lion.
Secretary of War (unhappily in suspen
sion), .E. M. Stanton, was counsel for
the plaintiff, and made a very able and
vigorous argument, contending that the
measure of damages teas the value of the
bargain. Judge WilKams decided that
the measure of damages wa3 the price
paid for the lease, and the Supreme
Court,upon appeal, affirmed the judgment
for the reasons given by him, which will
be found reported at length in the volume
referred to. The opinion in this case i
quoted as authority Ly Judge W'vodicard
in the case of Burr vs. Todd, reported in
5 Wright.
A second case is Campbell vs. Lncock
(4 Wright, 448). This was a case in
which one of two partners (Getty & Geis
signer) sold out his interest to the other,
who- agreed to pay all the debt3 of the
firm. Lacock became security for Ge'i3
singer, tho purchaser, for the performance
of the contract. Campbell, a creditor
ofthe firm, sued Lacock upon his guar
antee. Judge Williams held that the
plaintiff could not maintain the action,
and the Supreme Court affirmed the judg
ment on bis opinion.
A third case (and the only additional
one I will refer to) is that of Stoops vs.
Blackford (3 Casey, 213). The question
involved in this case was, whether the
assignment of a mortgage by a married
woman as collateral security for the pay
ment of her husband's debts, was with
out her husband's joining therein valid.
It was held to be void, and the judgment
was affirmed. Judge Williams' opinion
in this case settled the construction of the
married woman's act. It is a somewhat
singular fact that most of the intricate
questions growing out of the married wo
man's act have arisen in the District

tice in this highly important department
ofthe law.
Judge I'ortcr, in his argument in the
case of Brown vs. Wrigit, alludes to this
case as the one in which "the current of
decision on the married woman's act be
gan to tuau," and in the course of his ar
gument says : "No reader of the case
can fail to remark the enlightened obser
vations made by J udge Williams, of Pitts
burgh, whose opiniou was duly considered
and affirmed by the court, and reported
at length in the case."
The recital of these professional ' in
stances may prove dull to your general
readers, but they are important, as ex
amples, to let your Philadelphia people
know how Judge Williams stands in the
profession. I appeal to the record to show
that his reputatiou is not second to that
of any man (certaiuly not to Sharswood)
iu the State of Pennsylvania.
Allegheny.
The Coliforuia election, held last week,
resulted unfavorably to the Republicans.
Haight, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, has six or eight thousand ma
jority, and the same party will have two
of tho three Representatives, and proba
bly a majority of the Legislature. This
is bad news, and it is poor consolation
now to be told that wt might hdo car
ried California by twenty thousand ma
jority had the matter been mauaged bet
ter. Gorham, the Republican candidate
for Governor, was exceedingly unpopular,
and thousand of Republicans did not
vote at all. They prelerred to lose the
election, rather than support an unworthy
candidate. There is no danger that Cali
fornia will become wholly Copperhead.
She will vote for tho next Republican
candidate for tho Presidency. Tho worst
feature about tho result at prcscut is that
it will encourage Andrew Johnson to
commit fresh outrages upon tho will of
tho people and the laws of the country,
on the ground that it is a vindication of
himself aud his "policy."

How a Teacher Won th3 Love of His
Pupils.
The New York correspondent of tho!
Syracuse Journal, in alluding to the re-"
ceut death of Professor Anthon,-says : IniJ
the learned world he will be missed'
and lamented ; but perhaps no man, who"
has for so many years occupied so' high rt
place among scholars and whose name
s, familiar through the country, could
die an I be less regretted, socially, thao
Dr. Anthon. He was quite as remark-"
able for his aversion for society ts for his-"
scholarship, lie never married. Two
sisters, also unmarried, kept house fvr
him ; but such was the incompatibility
temper between them, that the Professor
had a separate table set for himself. He
hated men and he hated women, but her
loved boys after a pedagogue's fashion.-"
He had a singular way of unbending ic
the class room. There he was always"
genial, kindly, and at times even jovial;
but out of the class room he waa bear.

oftcu unjustly. He was accustomed to
stand at the foot of the stairway as the1
boys filed down to recitation, regarding"
them with the grim precision of a drill
sergeant. Catching the eye of this and'
the other lad, he would motion him to-
leave the procession and retire to a secJu-"
ded room. The victims obeyed with true
forebodings of what was coming. In swf
few minutes the Prefessor would appear,,
rattan in hand, and, beginuing with the
nearest boy, would go through the lot,
asking no questions till the flogging was
over, when he would give the victims x.
chance to justify himself. Of course he
often punished boys, without the shadow "
of a pretext, but thcu he would say en
couragingly, "Well, never mind ; you
didn't deserve it this time, it is true. Set
it down for some time when you do de
serve it." In this way he did substantial
service to each boy. At ooe time he hadJ
over seven hundred pupils in his shool,
and it is said that he gave them all scl
eral tastes ol the rod iu the course of the
year. Notwithstanding his severity bis.
pupils loved him. lie was considered,
the most thorough trainer of boys that
ever taught in this couutry, and if his
pupils got floggings they also got real cul
ture. The State election in Vermont, whichf
took place last Tuesday, resulted in the
success of the Hon. John B. Page, the
Republican candidate for Governor, by
about 20,000 majority. The Senate will
probably be unanimously Republican,,
while there are only four or five Demo
crats elected ta the House of Ilepresenta-
j tivcs. I here was very little coutest, and
j the vote was comparatively light, that of
th liepubhcans falhug off the most. A
little ejfort on the part of the latter would
have resulted in a still greater triumph.
The majority is about the same as lasfc
year.
The municipal election in Washington,
Delaware, was held the same day. Joshua.
S. Valentine, the Radical candidate, was
elected mayor. by tAo hundred and seven
ty majority. This is about the same ma-
. r -
pected by the Democracy, who made

ing their ticket. This result is gratify
ing, as showing the steadfast adherence
to progressive principles prevalent iu that
loyal -and growing city.
Cure for DiarrhcBa.
Take one teaspoon ful of salt, tho same
of venegar, and a tablespoon ful of water;,
mix and drink. It acts like a charm oov

rally cure obstinate cases of diarrhoea or
the first stages of cholera. If the first dose
does not bring complete relief repeat the
dose, as it is quite harmless. The patient
should keep perfectly quiet, a reclining
position beiug best. In severe cases soak
the feet thoroughly in very warm water,,
chafiiug them well. Flannel wet with
pretty warm venegar and salt especially
