Jupee Hoar.—The Springfield (Mass.)

Says that paper: “He can lenda hand not averse to smiting, for the dicomfiture of the corruptionists of Mas- eachvsetts, and the bummers that infest the domirant party throughout the nation.

When the secession con- vention of Texas was in session members of that demanded that he shouk bis office ot United States Corey al a '» although they knew his devotion to the Union they offered their influence to ure for him the same of- fice under the Confederate government. Judge Duval firmly refused, and no man’s position as a Unionist was more clearly defined. Like many other Unionists he remained in Texas until he could protect no longer. He was at first above the ‘of conscription; but by the second rebel conscript law he was brought with- in its rule. name was twice put in the wheel for the draft of State troeps—once under the special order of the Governor of Texas No Lan ag able to protect himself Judge Duval caped through the Confederate lines and found protection under the old flag at Vicks- burg. He came to Washington and received his salary. But pO asseverations of his lo yalty were necessary. His ition asa devoted wd of the Union was well known. It had been told by all the loyal Texans who had p him. Although he had held no office, agency, ap- poiniment or calling under the Confederate jovernment, the Commi of the General and Office of the State of Texas had given sais Duval Ses as a clerk and ha’ paid him out of the State Treasury in 1861; and a District Surveyor had given him a nominal utyship when no surveys were being made in Texas, It was hoped thatthese mere clerk- ehips would save him from forced military ser- vice against his government. But those who had been offei because Judge Duval would not resign his judgeship, determined that be should not have this protection. Judge Duval made no concealment of these agencies or ‘State offices” if you will. The facts wefe laid before President in and his Cabinet; they were fully discussed, and it was decided that they were not the “exercise of the functions of amy Office whatever, under any authority or pretend- ed authority in hostility to the Unii States,” and that he had voluntarily done nothing which disqualitied him from receiving his salary and exercising the functions of his office so soon 2¢ the United States should be able to protect him. Judge Duval returned to Texas with the expe- cidon of Gen. Banks in the fall of 1863, the only invasion of that State. His family were sent out of the State with the family of Gov. Ham- ilton, by the rebel authorities in December, 1864. The argument that Judge Duval had vacated his office was urged upon President Johnson's administration by two “ Texans” who had kept themselves at a very safe distance from danger, and it was considered and disregarded by Attor- ney General Speed. As soon as & marshal was appointed for his astrict, Judge Duval resumed his duties as judge, which were more onerous than the duties of any other judge in the United States. As Secretary of State of Florida andof Texas, as Supreme Court reporter of Texas, and as a State judge before he was a Federal judge. no man can pol dian det OR , A cliizen and patriot, he has too few peers and no superiors. Modest and unobirusive, yet tim, he can well challenge ‘an invesiigation by Congress, and compare his every act with those of the parties who have “ latterly arrived in this city from Texas.” When they say that “they biing with them what they claim to be Jud D.’¢ original oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy,” be you assured that if those ** latterly arrived” were in Texas in 1562. it will be as certainly found that they themselves took that same oath, as that the aged Senator from Texas took it on the same day and in the same hour with Judge Duval. The rebel pro- vost marshal left no alternative but to fly, as did Gov. Hamilton, or to subscribe an oath renoun. cing all allegiance to the United States and peti | allegiance to the Confederate States, as did bia since more fortunate brocher. It ts not believed that there is a Senator or member of Congress from Texas (save the two northern men who went there with the United yonets, not heve taken the oath; but he was paid his Salary as a State Jndge after the secession of Texas, until the end of his official term. It is for Con, to determine, whenever a Proper cave shall ‘be presented, what isa dis- qual jon*under the third section of the four- teenth amendment of the Constitution, as well as under the testoath.
