THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, MARCH 10 1874, LOCAL MISCELLANY. | GENIUS AND IMISSION OF TIE HE- BREW RAOE, The Rov. T. G. Holland, from Now York City, dolivered, yostordny ovoning, bofora o fair at- dience, in tho Jecture-room of the Chicago Union, B lecturo on tho * Gontus and Mission of tho MUebrow Raco." Tha lecturer stated that it might bo conended 8t tho ontaot that the history of tho Jown was tho history of onrly roliglon ns distinguished from tha idolatry which preceded it, In the world each wmmtion lnd 1ts own poou- linr vocation, called forth by its peculinr . goniua. Thoy woro judged 08 treas aro fudged, by tholr frnit, National denti- ntos had ovor boon tho logical conso quences of {ho natural goniun of tho natlons, Thus art wins the poculiar enlling of tho Greek, war that of tho Roman, religion that of the Jow. ‘Lhis Yiow was announced moro than 1,800 yenrs ngo. If religion was tho highert sentimout on enrth, - thon Israel had tho grandost enlling of all tho nntions, As the studont in ars did not rofuso to tkio lessons of tho anclont Grook, or the law studont gloan ideas from Justinian, or tho sol- dior from tho deeds of Itomau Generals, so_tho religions enthusiait should not declino to look to tho Isenolitish nation ns tho groat school of roligion, In ancient civilization the Jews wero tho most influentinl of nations. Tho lecturer entored into n deop disquisition upon the varions sources from which the Jowish'mind obtained its diffor- ont faculties, Tho Jown had slways catlod themsolves the choson people,~chosen Lo be the representativo rotigions raco ot the world, The dqu roligions fecling of tho Israclites was shown in tho vompact wado ot Mount Slnal, which thoy had kept religionsly over inco. Tho fack ihat, after all his sufferings and defents, the Jow looked for bis Messiah, showed tho oxtroma portinacity of the nation. Tiis froquantly caused Chrintins Lo griovo; but, ontho othor haid, their slowness to conversion should bo looked \\}mn witli pleasuro, as it proved tht thoir conversion, when it did oceur, would bo o sincore and lusting ono. Ilnd the Jewish notion been, other than o small ono, it would have been a hard malter for {t to have rommined true to its doctrine of Monotheism in the midst of nntions which followed polythoistio boliefs, It was the Hobrows who put the monotheistio idea 1 front, and stuck to it so portiuncionsiy that the heathen tremhlod. There was n cathiolio an well as un_uncatholie side to Judalsm. It was cevtnin that tho great debt which the world owed to Christianity it equally owed to catholio Juda- e, Tho Iecturor contrasted tho literaturo of Tating to blm\mymfil\t of tho bill of thoboan contriclor, G, I Porlolat, bo recommitted, Tho motjon provailed, ns it was l\lnluly apparont that the boans were utterly unilt for human food, Thoy would turn tho stomach of o hog, and would ba likely to discompuso ovon n bean coil= tractor, T'ho Committco on Publie Sorvico reportod, rocommending tho payment of tho bill of W.

It was not irrever- ont to supposo that tho enrliest form of the Diblo was not that of the latter form, of which tho presont Lnglish version was a translation. t The lecturer showed how tho Jowish national difo was always turned into the religious carrent, notwithstanding many tomporary hackslidings. Tho work of the Jow? was, thouglh many thought difforently, not yot dome. The wondrous Ppreservationof their autonomy,nftor many years of closa intimacy with othior nations and of ox- ilo from their own land, went to show that thoy wero still intended to bo tho rolicious nation of (tho world. 'I'ho Jows woro tho Yankees of tho Orient, being shrowd and euergetic bLusiness -men from timo immemorial. Who lecturer con- cluded o loarned and intorosting lecturo with tho remark that the character of tho nation was shown in tho namo of their forefather, Isrnol, which meant, literally, “Struggler with God."

JUDAY JAMESON AND TIIE ORDMINAL COURT. o the Editor of Tha Cldcaao T'ribune: Sm: As pll that is desived by eithor Judge Booth or myself is that the truth may bo known, 1 hope you will allow me o fow words in reply to his communication of Bunday morning last, ‘The impression which that communication s caleulatod to have is not only that I was in error in stating, in my lattor of thae 6Lh totho Journal, thot it was not my turn to hold the Criminal Court for March, and that it was Judgo-Booth's turn but that I was ungrateful for declining to hold it, whether my.turn or not, considering the kindness of tho Judges to mo during my-illness. Icannot consent to lob the muttor rest in this way, By tho. nesignment made beforo my illucss, my turn to hold that court came only in April, Decombor, and August, at.intorvals of eight monthy, begiuning with April, 1871, When I roturned last fall, meeting tho Judges at tho timo of Judge I'orter’s funeral, I suggested to them that,” while [ feared tho oifect upon wy health of holding court fn tho old Court- Court-House, T would try to do #o if my breth- ren dosired it. +'Tho Judges roplied, that for tho prosent, no change had better bo made, but that they would go ou us they had done whilo I was ubsent. I heard nothing moro about tno matter until'some mx woelks ago it was mado known to mo by tho Clork of the ‘Suporior Court, that Judge Booth wanted to arrange in somo way s0 0% to hold tho Criminal Court in May, on uceount of some private business, whioh Lo would in that case find timoe to do. 1o enavle Lkim to do s, I was roquested to Lold it in March, I auked if tho court would then be removed to the new voom on the North Sido, and was informed that it wonld, without doubt. I theroupon ecalled upon Juilgo Booth, and came to an_undorstand— Ing with him that L would liold the March term, still, however, protosting that it wasnot my turn, and that L would not do so, unlest the ~Court ‘should by that time baveromoved, A fow wooks after thut, T called at the Clerk's oflico, of -tho Criminal Court, to Jearn dolfinitely what might he expocted in rogard to its removal, aud found that thero was no prospect of it for soveral months, Having oxplaiued to_the Clork my ar- rangement with Judge Booth, he whowed me a lint of the terms for the yenr, with tho namos of the Judges who woro to hold them et oppo- #ito,—n list nado by tho Olerk,—und my namo was sev down for Juno, and thut of Judgo Booth for Mnreh, 1L therofora sent word to Judgo Buoth that T must deelino to hald the courtin Murch, stating {hio ronson, 1 heard no moro sbous tho mattor until Wednosday, tho 25th of Fobruary, whan L was sskod to attond n conforence of the Judgos on the Buturday following, called, as I was in- formed, by Judge Buoth, to wottle who was to hold the court. Judge Booth stated tho reasons why Lo wiehed to hold the term for Muy, I then Ero:mcd ny willinguoss, although assigned for une, according to tho list {u tho Clork's ofice, - to prosido at tho - Muroh torm, provided the room conld be so heatod as not to endangor my life, aud I proposed u plan to thut ond, ab stated by Judge Booth, which was, to utuJ: up tho registors und introduco ktoves, nnd Judgo Mooro undertook to huve tho mattor at- tondod to ut once, This, it scoms, was found to be fmpracticablo, I was not notitied of thut fuot, howaver,.though I inferred it from tho Fupérs of tho following Moudsy morning whioh sinted thut Judge Booth would not b present atb lis own court for businens durlug Marel, bub would hold the Crimiual Gonrl. On 1y way to my own conrt-room, on Mondny morning, I went to the Orlminal Court-room to nseortnin why the chango had heon made, but I found tho room dlosod, I'rom thoro. I pruceed- ed to tho Clerk's oftico, but that ufllucr wns not in, and I found mo one who know anylhing obont the mntter. Aw it was .thon naaring 10 o'clock, I called at Judge Dooth's Court-room and was told by his elork that Lo was not to slt thero during Maroh, but was to Liold o Griminal Court, ving e xaason wiy, Bolng left to couluulun.-, supposcd tho ronsot to bo that, after I loft tho contoronce of the Judgos, thoy had roconsidorad the maltor, and concluded i€ not worth whilo to offect the ox- chango of Judgos upon tho condition I hind ox- acted, namoly, that stoves should bo placed in tho court-roont, As Ihadn jury enso thon ou trinl and unflnishod, in my oivn court, I did not socl furthor oxplanation. ‘I'ioge wore tho cireumstancen upon which I based my nssortions as to the porson whoso turn it was to hold tho court mn Mureh, I pro- sumed:tho list shown mo by tho Olerk to be an osslgnment rndo, by sutherity. I oam now in- formod that tho list Was mndo out by tuo Olorl, selting down the Judges in the order in which thoy hiad beon acoustomed to hold the Court, I ul8o presumod that Judgo Booth thought tho March term to bo his and not mine, beoauso it was Lo, or porsons protending to not in his bo- Inlf, who mado all the ceforts to inducs mo to Liold t, {n ordor that o might arrango for an- othier month, Whese_presumplions may have boen orroncous, but I think thoy justified tho belief that what I stated was trie.” I rchenrso thoao circumstanaos, not 1o conviat Judgo Booth of any intontion to misstate the case, but to exonorate mysolf from unjust implications, Ono word ow n8to thio kiudness of my brothor Judges during my llinesy, In oxcusing mo from holding tho Criminal Court. I most thankfull, acknowledgo it, and did so nt our conferonco, also profossed the dosiro I felt, to do whatover any ono of thom should wish, it I could do 1t gnfoly, But why did Judge Booth alludoe to that Lindness ot all 7 Was it to creato the impression thnt I ought now £o do triplo or qundruple duty in * the Black Holo" to bring up my sharo of tho worl without rogard to the term to which was aseigned? Tho kindues of . the Judges during my illneas Las no tendoncy to " settlo whoso turn i6 was to Lold tho March fterm of tho Conrt. It is, I hope, true, na Judge Dooth says, that “ there is not tho lonst possible feoling or frie- tion" botween us ‘*growing out of those wmis- takes ;" though, whon I road the rathor ill-ua- tured article in the Journal, consuring mo protty pluinly for throwing off my own, burdens upon tho, physically wealor shouldors of Judgo Bootl, on tho plon, which scomed to tho writer of the articlo 8o nbsurd, that my. hoalth might suffor, T was afraid thet Judgoe Booth had droppod au im- imuunl word, and thus given color to tho article, £ ho bad not, that articlo turnishies but another mstanco of the oxquisito fairueys somotimos ex- Dibitod by toporters in epeaking jauntily and contldently about mntters of which they “know nothing. “Yours rospect{ully, Joux A.
