Allow us, therefore, to present to you some of the reported cases wherein Judge Williams' decisions have been affirmed, and wherein his charges ant] opinions have been adopted by the Supreme Court— frequently, as you will see, with the highest commendations. We present them in the order of time, giving a brief synopsis, in each case, of the lmestions considered or points ruled. The asterisk [*l prefixed to the ;tame of the case denotes that the judgment 'is "affirmed for the reason given by the court below," without anything more.

There are many other cases tried and de cided by Judge Williams which me reported and affirmed, but in which his opinions or rulings are not given at length. We have re ferred to only two or three of such. Pardon n reference to one or two more, which arc not in the direct line of the reports : The point decided by the Supreme Court, in 1857, in the City of Erie vs. Knapp, 5 Ca sey, 173—that a municipal cm ;mnion cannot be made gat nishee in ut attachment, &c., was decided by Judge Williams in 1853, in Greer vs. The City of Piasbuig repo; led in Pitts long Legal Journal, vol. 1, No. 1. BEASIEE vs. BANNINO-1853-8 Harris, 318.—That taking judgment . for amount de fendant admits to be due is a btu to another suit for - tier palm of th.. c.. as ruled upon the authorLy of the nrevious case of Dodds & Ceozier vs. Dirac:stock (cited as Dodds vs. Crozier), decided by Judge Willi ams, in 1853, and affirmed on ins opinion, but not reported. Ills opinion, &c., is in P. 1, J., Vol'. 1, No. 15. An iateresiing and important charge. by Judge W., on a case of malpractice by a phy sician, is reported in the American Law Reg ister for. August, 1805, page 587-13numberger vs. Cleis—to which you all have access. It decides that the words "unlawful violence or negligence - in the act of 15th April, 1851, giving an action to survivl Jg relatives, &c., includes malpractice by a physician. The de grees of skill required and of malpractice, and the measure of damages in such cases, are ably discussed. After having consulted "this array of au thorities"—some, if not all, of Which we ask you to look into—sustaining Judge Williams' claims to be a judge of the very highest order, it would be bootless in us to attempt nny re. 8I11)1C of his judicial character. Prout patel per recomlum. We think you will readily accord to his decisions eminent rectitude and accuracy of disci imination, always bawd upon law and right, and impregnably fortified by precedents, if any there be ; if none, then by a process of mooning clear and convincing. His styfe is lucid, succinct, vigorous, direct, Ind appro priate ; never turgid or equivocal ; modelled after no one, yet combining 111811 y of the. ex cellencies of many of the best judicial writers. His opinions have, we think, one especial merit, they are never of undue length, not cumbered with useless discussions of minor points nor lengthened copyings front books to which most lawyers , have ready access. What he writes is us far as possible his own. We submit that the manner of his opinions at least is such as well becomes a judge whose writings are to be reported and read. As well the manner as the matter of his opinions seem to have won the special favor of those who are presumed to be the best judges. For of the many able and learned expositors of the law who have sat in our lower courts during the last fifteen years, to no one has been accorded the honor of having so many of his opinions made thosii of the Supreme Court, by 110:1 JudE,u WWI The reported rulings of Judge Williams, you will see, are as varied in their subjects as are the varied interests which cluster in and around a great commeicial and manufacturing empo tjmn, and the multilbrm questions which spring float them. lie has shown himself able to gaup and master them all. Most of the .cases lilted by hint which have been taken up for review, have been cases of special intri cacy and importance, many of them cases or first impression. We need not state that those which have been reviewed by the Supreme Court are but a small quotient of the many he has decided. Suitors and their counsels are vet y prone to rest content with ihe decisions of a judge who is seldom reversed. The judicious and courteous editor or the P;ttsburg Legal Journal, the prothonotary of the Supreme Court of the Western district has I constantly, from its foundation in 1853, coin mended it to the profession, by the publication or many ~'Judge Williams cu-rent opinions. To refer to these would carry this address be yond its proper limit. Those of you who have i access to that journal will find them all through it, pmodm. And you will find them just as varied in the questions considered, and ninny or them as valuable., as arc those reported in the hooks. The many and increasingly novel questions of juilicial'Cognizance which have constantly arisen in and mound Pittsburg during the pe riod Of.ittilge Williams' tenure and the prompti tude with which rouses are here brought to hear •iny, have not unfrtiquently imposed upon our judges Inc duty of being the first to decide them. Some of such will be found in the pre ceding references. There are, however, others of more recent origin and of pervading interest. Of such are those which have grown out of what are known as the bounty laws." The principal case, and the only ore of this class which we cite, was that of an application to the District Court for an injunction to re strain the proper functionaries from levying the tax. It was refused. The chief attack was upon constitutional grounds. Each of the judges of the court gave a full opinion sustain ing the validity of the law. .These were pub lished at the time. That of Judge Williams' will. be Found in the Pittsburg Ledger Juurilat offoelober 24, 1864, p. 132. Judge Hampton fortified his views by tile highest authorities, while Judge Williams, without citing a single case, works out his conehtsions, after tile mall ner of Chief Justice Marshall, by a process of analytical and inductive reasoning winch com pels conviction . . It is enough to say here of these opinions that they enunciate pretty much the same doctrine alterwards more elaborately expounded in the opinion of the majority of the Supreme Court (per Agnes, J.), in Spear vs. The School Directors, Cc., of Blairsville, 14 Wright, 110; affirmed in Ahl Vs. Gleim, 1 P. P. Smith, 432 ; and in Weister vs. Bade, 2 ibid, 484. It is probable that Judge be regarded as having led oX in the solution of another ccuestion of absorbing interest to the profession and the public. Upon a bench war rant recently issued by him—Millinger vs. o'l laraunder the act of July 12, 1842, where in, as it appeared upon the hearing, the com plainant had a pending attachment of execu tion and IL M. levied upon all the debtor's pro perty, the arrested debtor moved to quash the warrant. First, Because the United states bankrt ac, of March 2, 1867, supersedes all proceed ings under the State act of July 42, 1812, and under the State insolvent laws, where the com plainant's debt is provable under the bank rupt act, and the defendant is subject to its provisions. Here we rest. If upon these data a lawyer trained to measure men by their intellectual statute, and judge of what the, can do by what they have done, cannot form a right estimate of Judge Williams' Illness for a seat on the So preine..l3enc.h, we know of nothing else that would effectually aid that result, unless it be the personal intercourse with him as a man and a judge, which We have long enjoyed, and which we confidently trust the entire profes sion of the State will soon be permitted to en joy. A. Id. IlLowx, PITTSBURG, Sept. 2, 18G7 &rood, Because the warrant is iriegular, and cannot be enforced pending the attach ment and levy. After full argumeat, by able counsel, Judge Williams, with the concurrence of all the judges of the District Court and Common Pleas of Allegheny county, decided that the warrant be quashed upon both grounds, and sustained this ruling by a most learned and Incittopinime published in several of the daily papers of Pittsburg of the date of August 22 al 3 23;1m. Ito imporiance will doubtless cause it soon to appear in many other periodicals in the State and elsewhere. It appears in the Pittsburg Legal Journal of September 2, 1807. DIGEST 01?

The young birds fall comparatively an easy prey, but an old bird profits by experience, and is not readily caught. You may see it running in the undergrowth, or squatting in the smallest possible proportions under the pro tec.iou of the broad leaves of the dock. Your faithful and. well-trained dog "paints". with unerring certainty where the prize is hidden away ; but before you can tire the cunning creature quietly slips off, reaches a clump of intervening trees, then takes-whiterin a direr-. ;ion not anticipated ; and if not very expert and self-possessed the chances are you lose your shot. At another time the bird, upon being nlarmedovill fly of iu a straight line with the swiftness of the wind ; again he will rise with /ill the whiring noise of a partridge, or possibly get beyond your reach with the rilence of an owl, seeming to vanish rather than fly out of sight. It may be granted, how ever that a woodcock flushed in the minds will the moment he clears the 101 l of the trees dart, downward, and under any circumstances present a most difficult idiot ; if the sportsman , be above, the bird is out of sight in nn instant; Window there is nothing left, as the bird ap proaches, but a quick shot. If flushed In his open low feeding-grounds, he will, if he has not been previdusly prosecuted by the hunter fly along and just above the surface of the earth; your tide to him is then ns clear as if he were in your game-ling ; but such easy appropria tion is the exception and not the rule in hunt ing the woodcock. lint these very uncertain ties regarding the conduct of the bird when pursued as game add zest to the excitement in the minds of the truly cultivated and intel lectual sportsman. Wounded woodcocks will sometimes conceal themselves by sinking , in sat mud. or underwater, showing nothing 'but their bills, which they so intrude among the stalks of grass and weeds that they have every possilde chnn co for concealment, though they resort to this expedient much less often than the common snipe.—T. 11. Thrope, in Harpor's Nagorinofor October. THE MITCHELL CALUMNY. A BASE FALSEHOOD NAILED. The following correspondence explains it self. The story which it so effectually refutes seemed to us ashen it was first started, to re quire no notice. In the face.of the reports of the Sheriff, Coroner, Prison SuPrintendent and Prison Physicians of Philadelphia, who• were acquainted with Twitchell, and knew him as well when dead as When alive, and all of them acting under oath, it seemed to us im possible that such a tale as that set afloat by Mr. Meek and the Montana gentleman could obtain the least credence. And we question, now, whether any intelligent man in the State believes it. Nevertheless, it has been widely circulated in print, and talked into the ears of the credulous by unscrupulous politicians whose object is to injure. Governor Geary. by connecting him with the affair. The story is that a corpse was substituted Uhr Twitchell Who, instead of committing suicide as repre sented, is now alive in Montana, and that Gov. Geary was in some way privy to the fraud. A more infamous falsehood was never con cocted, and the purpose it was designed to effect is even blacker tient the lie. Nutnermy, letters having been received by the Governor on :he subject from persons living in di;rerent sections of the Slate, and muncions having been put to him during his tour thro' the northern counties of the State, he deter• :fined to set the calumny at rest by evidence which could not be doubted. The following correspondence, and the sworn testimony of the Superintendent, Physicians and linkers or the Philadelphia County Prison, will show that he has done so : ExEcuTivE HARM:Mt:IW, Pa., Sept. 13th. 1569. ) l'eler Lyle, ,':Theriy . of Ph ilaflel : I)E.kit Sin—A ',wry 1 1 3: born pit in circiil3 lion, founded 11114)11 a letter, pretended to:have been received from Montana,by Ilon.

The allegation is, that on the night prrvinns ill the day set for Litt execution of Twitchell, by virtue or a pardon granted by li, wernor (Wary, for which n large sum or money was paid, the dead hotly of another convict was placed in Twitchell's cell, and the murderer set at liberty, and that he is now known to lie at large anti in good health. If you reediVed a pardon, as stated, it was an infamous for gery, and you were grossly imposed upon. Such letters, however, as Meek founds his allegations upon are usually mere fabrications. I send you, therewith, a ,eopy of his paler, containing his editorial and the letter to which e alludes.
