Jhffjouraed Meeting of the Members
ofthe Bar*«Tribnte to the Memory
ofJadgeMcClnre.
At ton 'o'clock thil monnng, an adjourned
mooting of the memboro of the Bar was bold
in the Quarter Sessions Boom, to hear the' re
porto of the Committees previously appointed,
-topreptra resolutions expressive of the tense
of the Bar, and to confer with the family in
reference to the funeral obsequies. Hon.
Charles Shaler was in the Chair, and J. B.
Hampton and John W» BiddeU, Secretaries.
On motion of Thomas M. Marshall, Hon.
H. Hampton, and Hon. H. W. Williams ware
chosen Vice Presidents. >
Judge Mellon,from the Committee toconsult
with the Family, reported rerbally that they
had discharged their duties, and had nothing
farther to report at present.
M. Swartxwelder, Chairman'of the Commit
tee on Resolutions, then submitted the follow
ing report:
WhkrXas, The Hon. William* B. McClure
has been removed by. the hand of death, leav
ing his family to mount their sad bereavement,
the community, to the loss of a valued
publio servant and the bar to lament the ter
mination of his career as a just Judge and one
of Its shining ornaments; cud to Wear, It it
becoming when men die who' have, in places
of pnblic trust, ; discharged their whole duty :
with purity of purpose that their virtues should
receive the homage due to exalted worth,
therefore, be it -
JZerefoed, That while we bow with submis
sion to the Divine Will we deeply deplore the
loss sustained-by his family, the community;
the bench and the bar. ,
Remtlvedf That as President Judge of the
Courts in which he exercised his functions,
while he won the esteem and regard of the
bar he secured the confidence and approbation
of the public. * V . ;
Rslvcd, That in the administration of jus
tice he felt bo was intrusted for Qod and'his
country, and that.what he did was done up
rightly, del»berately, and resolutely, without
flhr, favor or affection, not regarding what
men ibight say or think, so long as he felt an
approving conscience.
Jfctofced, That in the administration of
criminal law In this county, he had no supe
rior; his long experience, unremitting in
dustry, 1 quickness of apprehension, and in
| flexible integrity/ enabled him-to dispatch a
vast amount of business with- facility -and
i fidelity; ever regarding the law but as the
| band-maid of justice; in its administration
i humane, in.its execution severe if the facts
were evident, ..rightly , believing severity in
such case was justice.
Retolved, That to him chiefly are the people
indebted for the punishment and repression
of crime,-and the m&intainanoe of good order
in this county for the last ten years.
Bnolved, That while we mourn his lost 'its
a magistrate, be is no less worthy of praise
and emulation in all the relations of life, as a
ohristUn,a scholar of varied learning, a citi
sen and a father.
JUaotvedj That to the f&mily of the deceased,
we tender our profound expressions of sorrow
and oondolence.
Retolvtd, That a committee of five be*ap
pointed by the Chair to convey to the family
the &otion_of this meeting.
Ee»olv*d, That we wear the usual badge of
mourning in respect to the memory of the
deceased, and that we attend the funeral .as; a
body.
. Fending a motion to adopt the report, Hon.
P. C. Shannon addressed tbo meeting, opening
with the remark that he bad hoped some one
older than himself would have preceded him.
Ho paid a high tribute to the worth and in
tegrity of the deceased, and expressed .the
deepest sympathy for his afflicted fatsUy.
M. Swartxwelder, Bsq., followed in a few
remarks. He had known Judge McClure for
twenty years, and tho virtues which most
adorned his character were his parity of
thought and integrity of heart. In tho ad
ministration of justice, he perhaps did not so
mueh regard the punctilio of the law as Its
spirit, and eur aimed at. the purpose rather
than the technicalities of the law. ~ He paid a
tributo to his fidelity, his legal research, his
literary taste,, his and ..hu
manity, and shore all to bis cburacter-asa
sincere and devout Christian.
Hon; A- W. Loomis was tho nest speaker.
He said : “ Perhaps the English laaguago
does'not* afford 'a moro' splendid tribute to.
genius and industry than that bestowed by
tho eulngy of the immortal Byron ou the la
mented Henry'Kirk White/ who died in con
sequence of too much exertion in the pnnuit
.of studies that would.have matured a mind
which disease and poverty could net impair,
and which death itself destroyed, rather than
subdued:
’Twas thfoo own genius gure the final blow,
And bfclped to plant the wound that Laid thoo Low:
80, the struck eagle, .'stretched upon the plain,
No more through rolling clouds to soar, again,
Viewed his own fra the r on the fatal dart,
i And winged the shaft that quivered In his heart 1
-How characteristic and deieriptiveof onr
i departed friend 1 Placed by & discriminating
1 executive and an Intelligent people in a poii
i tion of elevated dignity and gravy responsi
| bility, he brought to the performance of its
I arduous duties the most patient and persover
| ing s industry, tho most sincere and daroted
! fidelity. 1 Early and late,' in season-and out
i of season, aided alike by'the morning enn
and the midnight lamp, all his faculties were
faithfully and successfully consecrated to the
performance of his ; multiplied and varied ob-.
Ligations. He sacrificed ease, comfort, enjoy
ment, and, may X not add, life itself, to a most
conscientious discharge of duty. He was - a
bold, faithful and fearless judge. Ho power
could awe, no threats could 1 intimidate him.
Firm In purpose, pare in -morals, and con
: ideations in action, he conducted to its just
; and legitimate result' the-administration of
public justice. All admired his eminent
virtues'and revered his undoubted integrity.
His duties on earth have been most faithfaUy
performed, and may *we not confidently hope
that he has gone to hisjustreward in Heaven.
J;. C. P. Smith, Bsq., followed in a few ap
-1 propriaie remarks, touching the losrsustained
by the State and county-in the death of Judge
McClure. -
B. B. Carnahan, Esq., United States Dis
trict Attorney, would not speak of the 1 vir
tues and abilities of the late. Judge of this
Court, asr tboy-were well known to all.; He
spoke oil tho iabbr performed by Jodge Me?
Clare—labor unparalleled in the Judicial an
nals of tao State. He illustrated the -gener
osity and magnanimity of the deceased by
relating an incident of a personal character,
which occurred in his practice as an attorney.
The inoident was exceedingly pertinent, and
although it was expected to result In a per
sonal estrangement, yet through the magnan
imity of the judge/ it cemented thoir friend
ship forever. .
.James H. Hopkins, Esq., on behalf of the
younger members of the Bar, delivered a neat
and. appropriate eulogy—recounting the uni
form kindness and encouragement which he
ever extended to the young and inexperienced
firactitioner, and paying a high tribute to.his ;
egal attainments and great moral worth..
John R. Largo/ Esq., followed in a few re
marks, making particular mention_of thp great
firmness and decision of character evinced!by
the lamented. Judge—a firmness always
coupled with integrity of purpoas and a high
senso of justice...
Judge Mellon rose to add Jus testimony to
the truth of all that had been said ih commen
dation of the Ilfo .and character of the de
ceased; When practicing at the Bar, the
speaker entertained the-highest opinion of his
Integrity and 'moral worth, but.when called to
oocupy a seat with him upon the Bench, that
opinion increased to admiration. JJeooncla?

of one so osefal and so eminent in bis profts

I* SCI IRIHiDI
Thomas M. Marshall, Esq., knew Judge
McClure well, bat eould sot trust himself to
ipeskof his social-virtues. There was one
peculiarity which had sot been alladod to:
Judge M’Claxe was/ physioallyp* frail mas,
jet the rigor, the strength and the digutty of
his mind, completely hid from view the frail-*
ty of his body. Ills physical weakness was
grandly adorned by his lofty mindand tower
ing intellect. As to hli integrity, he was sin
gularly free from .all ponopal or private' in
luonce. ). On; tho. Bench. ho sat as! a stern
minister of justioe, utterly isolated from all
human ties.' To deelare the judgment of the
law was his only purpose—not following the
blind but the-Qvihg'«ptn( ot the law,
whiefc he was qulek to discorer and firm to
apply, without fear, Carnr or afiectiob.
r J. p. Slagle, 'Esq./ City Solicitor/ paid' a
Ugh ,tribat# to the wort H-of the deceased, and
to bis great ■ klpdnes* efHeart, his
care and solicitude for the suoccu of tfcoyoung
practitioner, and the readiness with .which be
vrohld'nlibre; all embarrassment by kindly
advice and direction. He wag o/rirttd to all/

L 7 -7 PH. Collier, Esq., gar* willing teatlmony
to the legal, sodal and moral worth of the
• deoessed.. A great and good man hadfallen,'
[ and the whole community laments bis dots, f
! The speaker merely rose to say that Wm. B. ;
| McClure was ajust Judge and an honest man. j
H. P. Mneller, Esq., expressed the sense of
j the German portion of the community, at the !
j great loss sustained in tbe death of a Judge J
so learned, so upright, and so useful in all the •
[ relations of life.
i ; The question was tiign called upon the adop- i
i tion of the report, and the resolutions were i
1 unanimously passed. I
The Committee to convey to the family the !
action of the meeting was then appointed, and
oonsists of the officers of the meeting—Jndges j
Shaler,-Hampton and Williams, end Messrs. J.!
H. Hampton and J. W- Riddell. i
Mr. Marshall, on behalf of the Committee j
to consnlt with the family, suggested that a
Committee of nine be appointed to prepare
some suitable outward memorial—some risible
manifestation of the respect and admiration of
the members of the Bar, for the character of
the deceased.
ffm. il. Shinn, Esq., seconded the proposi- ;
tiou, deeming it eminently suitable that a
monument he raised to his memory. It was
’ not necessary to thus seek to perpetuate his
virtues among the living, but it was due to
- posterity that some lasting memorial be erect-,
ed to his memory.
A resolution to' this effect was adopted, and
■ the neoessary committee will be appointed to
carry out the design.
| The meeting then adjourned to meet in the
( same place on Monday morning, at nine
o'clock, to make arrangements for attending
: the funeral in a body.
l The funeral services will take place in Trin
ity Church, Sixth street, after which the re
' mains will be convoyed to Allegheny Cemetery.
We may add that this Bar meeting was the
j largest we have ever seen assembled, and the
proceedings were listened to with sorrowful
' interest by a large number of eitisens outside
. the bar.
Working on Borrowed Capital.
,We are Informed, on what we deem reliable
authority, that the'aspirant for the Mayoralty
who heads the “Union" ticket which so grace
folly 'floats from the mast-head of the Poet,
has secured the ooveted support of the Volla
htat—a German daily, whose editor was re
cently defeated for a seat in the Legislature.
Wo don't object to. this arrangement at all;
indeed we feel rather glad that Mr. Weaver
has secured a German-Vorgan" pf Buoh power
and influence (?) that its editor was. onty in a
minority of some three hundred votes in his
own Ward (the Third) when he was a candi
date before his own Immediate constituents.
But what we dootyeotto is the little arrange
ment by which this support was secured. Our
informational* that the ex-May or promised to
the Volkablat editors his potent influence with
Sheriff Woods, in order to secure to that pa
por a share of the patronage of the Sheriff's
office. Now, wa taka tha liberty of assuming
that Harry Woods manages of
his own office without seeking the advice of
tbo ex-Mayor, and also that he will select the
papers in which to publish his official adver
tisements with a View to tboir fidelity to prin
ciples, other things being equal; and we need
scaroely say that. Harry Woods is not likely
to show any favor to disorganizes. We feel
assured that the Sheriff, in common with the
great mass of his ptrty, will give an honest
support to 3. C-Bawyer, jr., beoauae ho -is
the regular nominee, and an honorable and
straight forward Republican.* The Volktblnl
had better make its bargain* at head quartan.

Ed*. Gaxttu .* J admtrc,union, aDd all that
sort of thing, as you know, and was persuaded
to mpport a Union ticket, got up, as I af
terwords found, by certain sharp Democrats,
. lost fall, to enable some of their friends to se
cure office in this county of five or ten thous
and Republican majority. Tou gave warning
at the time that this was a selfish, one-sidod
trick—that the Democrats neither offered nor
would they consent to union in any county
When they had a sure majority—and so I
found afterwards that they had thus gained a
majority in the Legislature, and claimed and
bragged I 'of their success. Thus was I fooled
once.
Now, the .Port has.the modesty to ask usto
support Henry A. Weaver, (the patriot who so
zealously - worked to'secure signers to that

quite as fit as their opponents—for I will not'

Furore Among the Ladies*
There is just now a sensation among the
fair sex, especially those who delight to make
their sweet laces more fascinating. The want
of an article devoid of pernicious ingredients,
for olearing and beautifying the skin, has
long been telt. Certain memhors of the Ton
recognised as leaders of the beau asoarfe, havo
st length diseoveredihis profit desideratum in
Dr. Holloway's Balsamic Ointment, which
they heire unanimously adopted and recom
mended to. their numerous circle of "friends.
This aasqw preparation permeates the vesi
cles of the skin, and imparts a freshness And
bloom to the ooaploxion unequalled by any
of the pernicious cosmetics which are adver
tised to ©fleet the most extravagant altera
tions, little short of changing the Ethiopian’s
skin. Dr. Holloway's Ointment it entirely
composed of simple vegetable extracts, inno
cent of all mineral ingredients, yet certain in
its operation on aUxruptive disorders. It re
lieves the pain and smartfn£>nd allays the
inflammation efeealdeS'buri9l-Ae. Fusahil
bUint, frost-bites, creeked-lipa, chapped
hands, and rough skis, it has no equal. It ]
soothes the irritation and cools the itching
and burning anguish which attend tbeso dis
orders. It should bo on every toilette table,
and no mother of a family thouldever be with
oat a supply In the house for the innumerable
little accidents to which childhood is liable.
Dr. Holloway confidently .recommends tbit
Ointment foi' any of the above maladies, as its
action I* unattended with the perils which,
characterise .the effects of .modern unguents.
At the' Eraser River -Diggtnt, .the. value of
these medioinesis ia justly celebrated that.
Peddlers hgyo frequently obtained an ounce
of gold for a 'smalrpot of Ointment, when ,a
scarcity prevailed—the gold seeker knows that
with the Pills and Ointment In his possession]
ho requires no other medicine, therefore every
man provides. himself with a store of theseJ 1
medicaments as a safeguard to bis health and'
well being.— Ladita* Magtnine.

THE TRENT DIFFICULTY SETTLED!
DECISION OF THE PRESIDENT.
MASON AND SLIDELL RELEASED!
OFFICIAL CGBEESPOXDEM'E.
&c, Ac.
W*Mureroa, Dec. —The decision of the
President In the Trent affair, as announced
and explained in the dispatch of Secretary
Seward, has the approval of every member of
the Cabinet. «
The National Intelligencer, in an article ap
parentiy semi-offldal,.saya;
“Whatever may be the disappointment of
any at the reldlt to which the administration
hail oome ihthe settlement of a question which
constitutionally devolves upon the Executive
branoh of the government, we are sure that ail
will applaud the. firmness and sinoerity with
which the administration, resisting a natural
tendency impressed by the concerted: drift of
public opinion in our own country, has resolv
ed to do what it believed to be right in the
premises, surely should give a pause to
all who may be disposed to challenge the pro
priety of the resolution to which the adminis
tration has come when they note that a con
trary decision wbuld leave ns in opposition not
only to.the views of Oreat.Britain, bnt also to
those which tho government' of, France an*.
nounces 1 respecting the principle of public law :
involved in the - transaction."
The Inttlligfnkiei has' five *columns of cor
respondence. The editors u;: “ Bari Bus
sell, her Britannic Majesty’s Secretary of
State' for Foreign Affairs, after reciting the
eireunutancea nader which he understood the .
capture of those parties to hare been made,
prooeeds to characterize it as -an outrage on
■ the British Hag, and, after expressing the !
hope and belief that it had not been authorised-,
by oar Governmuni, asks, as a reparation ap- |
propriate to such an aggression, that the four !
gentlemen designated should be released, and
that an apology should be given for what the
Government of Great Britain deems ah affront
to her flag.” •
“In responding to this demand; Mr. Sew
ard, after reviewing the circumstance, under
which the arrest iras ! effected, according to the
report of oar naval' officers, ...and then, thus
developing the inaccuracies and omissions of
British statements/ to analyze the
facts and principles of public law involved-in
the case, and arri.es at the, conclusion,- that
the negieotaf Capt. Wilkes, partially.volun
tary, as it was on hia part, to. bring toe Trent
in for trial as a lawful prize, may ,be justly
held to operate as' a forfeiture of a belliger
ent right of capture according, and under the
law of nations, and that the United States
government, as’well from this consideration
as in consistency with itsown traditional pol
icy respecting -maritime rights of neutrals,
would be in its own .wrong, if it should refuse
a compliance with the British, demand, so far
as relates to tho disposition that shall be made
of persons taken into custody by Capt. Wilkes,
under circumstances believed to be justly open
to oxception on both grounds thus indicated.
So far as regards the apology asked by the
British Government, none is tendered, because
a simple statement of facts as they are, suf
fices to show that no offence could have been
intended rih the part of our Government, as it
had given noinstrnctions whatever in the pro
mises, while the proceedings of Capt. Wilkes,
in so fat. as U.tails, ip enura to'the benefit of
hia Government and to conform to the rules of
publlo law, was dictated 'by conriderntions of
kindness and forbearance.' ' ; '
" The decision of the Presidentin this affair, us
announced and explained in the lucid dispatch
of Mr. Seward, the
has tho approval of.ererjmember of the cabi
net. Seward, in conclusion, says: “If I
deride this casein favor or my own Govern
ment, I most disavow its most cherished prin
.riples,. and..rayersn.and.-fbrovay,%h|Jtdo.n.its
essential policy. Tne eddhlry' c&nnCt affiinl
sacrifice. If I maintain those.principles and
adhere to that policy, Xxnustsarrender thc case
itself. It wUI be seen, therefore; that this Gov
ernment tho justico of thoolnim
presented tons in this respect upon its merits.
We to do to tho British nation just
what wt have always insisted all nations
ought to do to us. The claim of the British
Government is not mode in a discourteous,
manner. ' This Government, since its first
organisation, has. never used more guarded
language in a simitar case. - Inoomingto my
conclusion, I have ; not forgotten that if. the
safety of (his Union' required the detention of
the captu feed person t,itwpu Id be the right and
duty of this government to detain them, but

She could in no other way dis

by assuming now; at'her-.own, ;the ground
open which we then stood, it would tell little
