Tho Legislative Assembly of the State of Panama, ‘which has beon in session for some time, has author. ied the President to settle certain questions, which havo occasioned considerable discussiqn between him and the various steamship companies having agencies here. The latter have been in the habit for some time of paying a aum monthly by way of contribution wwards the expenses of the government, and it has always been understood that this was to be the only tax or dues which they would be called upon to pay. At the beginning of this year the President, to meet cortain expenses which were pressing urgently for payment, imposed a ‘cattle tax," 80 mucd per head on all cattle and pigs pisced on board the various steamships for the use Of their passengers and crews on their voyages hence. ‘This impost the various companies refused to pay, and the government on one oocasion seized the cattle as they were being embarked. This brought the matter before the courts, No trouble need now be anticipated in the Aettiement of the matter, a3 the President is empow- ered to arrange for the payment of a montaly co: tribution, as betore, in return for which the ¢ nies are fo be exempt from all other dues ex those charged for the registration of documents aud for atamped paper. ‘The interesting ceremouy of consecrating the foreiga cemetery at Aspinwall took piave on the 7th taat.

The Bishop of Bogolé has recently published a pastoral letter, in answer to a letcer printed in the Zsberal, of Bogota, upon the desirability of the priests being allowed to marry.

However, I know there once was a woman whose husband beat her, and who, on being taken out of his hands by a mediating friend, turned round on this considerate individual and said:—*'She liked her husband's blows.’ 1 deduct therefrom that all tastes are in nature; and if [ had @ striking text wherewith to command the taste ol the public and draw it to this fashion letter [ would head my correspondence with it. But all the fashion texta 1 know of in the Scriptures con- demn even so much as the plaiting of one’a hair. Itherefore give up the fallacious hope of startling ladies evangelically, and quote from my friend Vespetro, in order to proceed vo the great announce- ment which is to strike them gently and by sweet transition. “Antumn,” he says, “is the time to read big books, because this season turns the leaves,’ [tia rather good for Vespetro. His idea conveys some notion of ® breeze which, connected with big books, has suggested to me that there may be some among your readers who never throw a newspaper away and have thei all bound annually. Many have proceeded thus with the HERALD, and at this present moment possess a leviathan volume of the daily, in best calf and morocco. This is the time to order a few negroes to carry the “big? book of 1867 out in an open space, and when they liave done this to stand up behind it aatil the wiud blows all the leaves back to @ fashion letter, ia which some Oriental costumes are aes cribed.

The cabie announces the death on yesterday morn: ing, in bis seventieth year, of the Baril of Derby. Kd ward Geotrey Staniey, fourteenth Karl of Derby and Baron Stanley, was bora at Knowlsey Park, near Liverpool, im 1799. He spent his arly yoars at Katon, where, as afterwards at Obriat Ohuroh College, Oxford, be distinguished himself by the ole- gance of his Latin versification, In 1819 he obtained the Chaucellor's prize for Latin verse at Oxford, Tho Subject was “Syracuse,” and he recited his poem atthe commemoration in the Sheldonian theatre, amid rounds of applause, He did not graduate at Oxford, probably because be found that he could not take the first place in his class. Im 182i, through family infuence he was sent to the House of Com- mons from Stockbridge. On coming of age, about this time, ke travelled extensively, ana visited, in company with Mr, Stuarc Wortley and Mr, Dennison, Canada and the United States, which strengthened and comirmed for the time his liberal ideas, In the Houso of Commons he remained a silent member until 1824, when he spoke upon aaubject of local Interest in a way that induced his hearera to con- sider him @ young maa of great promise as a public speaker. Wis second effort, on the Irish Church, exhibited the readiness, aptitude and ability of an experienced orator, and gained him an acknowledged position, and from that day forth he wads set down a4 a “man of mark.” He then belonged to the Nberal party, In 1626 he was chosen to Parliament from the borough of Preston, and tn 1828, on the formation of Lord Goodrich’s Cabinet, he was sworn in a meniber of the Privy Council and appointed Under Seoretary of State for the Colonies, where he was initiated into diplomatic mysteries, Upon seeking re-clection his former constituents rejeoted him for a more democratic candidate. by the resignation tn hia favor of the member from Windsor he again appeared in Parliament, remain- ing until 1882, When he was agatn elected from Lan- cashire, and held his seat as long as he was con- nected with the Lower House. was Chief Secre- In 1830, tt may be added that he tary for Ireland, under Lord Groy's administration, To 1834 nis political relations were changed. Having Deon an ardent liberal, he became thenceforth a conservative, and withdrew from the Ministry in company with Sir James Graham, the Duke of Rich- mond and the Earl of Ripon, and in November he formaily joined the great conservative party. During the pertod of the reform agitation, in which he had voted for the repeal of the test and corporation acts, for Catholic emanctpation and for the Reform bill of 1882, he had particularly signalized himself as an orator of great power and ability, and on that subject and On coioniai matters he was @ fre- quent and fluent speaker. [n 1835, Lord Staniey, as he was then called, was an ‘owed supporter of Sir Robert Peei's administra- tron, but declined to accept a portfolio in the gov- ernment; and when that statesman retired, the fol- lowiag April, he went with him into See In 1841 the election gave S r Robert Peel a large ma- cc and he returned to office, and Lora Stanley ecamé again Secretary of State for the Colonies, where he acted with his leader until 1844, at which time, having been raised to the peerage, as Lord Stanley, of Brickersiaffe, during his father's life- time, ie was transferred to the House of Lords, and became miniaverial leader im that body, Im 1846 he separated from Sir Robert Peel on the question of frea trade, and upon the repeal of the Corn law he placed himself at the head of the newly-formed protectionist arty. Afver having digorganized the whigs and the Peelites or conservatives, with the aid of Lord G. Bentinck and Mr. Disraeit in 1853 he undertook the responsibilities of oMce. in 1857, by the death of his father, Lord Stanley became the Karl of Derby. With Mr. Dis- raeil as leader in the Commons Lord Derby held oMece for ten months, but passed no measure of a urely protective character. The Ministry being de- feated on the budget of Mr, Disraeli resigned, and was followed by Lord Aberdeen, at the head of a “coalition”? Ministry, On the fall of the last Mints- try, in 1855, Lord Derby had an opportunity of con- structing @ protectionist administration, but de- clined on the that no Ministry that he could form could atand ita ground, Subsequently, for three years he led the opposition tn the House of Lords, and ta February, 1453, formed his second administration. The Reform bill having been re- jected March 31, 1859, he appealed to the coun- try. The resuit, although tavorable, did not give a auficient majority to the conservatives, and, being defeated in the House, they resigned June 11, 1869. ‘rhe fall of Lord Kusseli’s second atiministration, tn June, 1808, led to the formation of Lord Derby's third administration, which lasted tor several months, during which, aided by the consummate tact of Mr, Disraet), the Retori bill was passed. Soon after this event the Karl resigned in favor of Mr. Disraeli, bis health preventing ts continuing at the head of the Miniatry. After the deash of the Duke of Wellington, in 1852, Lord Derby was elected Onancelior of the Uni- versity of Oxford, and on the retirement of nia second administration waa made a Kmight of the Garter, In 1865 Lord Derby published @ translation, in blank verae, of tl fied of fomer, which bas been highly praised by persons best quallied to express an opinion on the subject. It bad an extended gale. !tecently another translation vy the Karl was published, which received the same encomiums that its predecessordid. In fact, asa classical scholar there was probably uo superior in England to tho deceased nobleman, while as a literary character he ranked nigh. His style of writing Was notably pure and elevated ,aud marked by much origmality of thought, tho earidom of Derby waa coafirmed by Henry Vil. in 1455, on Mis ancestors in the old and heroic family of Staniey, of Lancashire, for devotion and prowess on Bosworth field, For more than two centuries, under the sazeraiaoty of the British King, the Karla of Derby were soveretgns of the Isle of Man, and it was only in the reign of George If, that the sovereignty of Cue tslaud was transferred to the British Crown. In 1826 Lora Derby married Emma Caroline, daughter of the first Lord Skelmersdale, and has had three children, of whom Lord Stanley, now Sec- retary of Foreigu Affairs, born tn 1825, succoeds to the oaridom and the Immense ancestral estates In Ire. land and Engla Lord Derby's greatest oratorical displays were in the jlouse of Commons when com- bating the doctrines of Dante!

The father of John MoKeon’s mother came over in the samo veasel, and their remains now occupy the same vault in st. Patrick's cathedral, Arriving here a young man in 1801, Thomaa O'Conor found in the “City Di- rectory” tho name of Hugh O'Conor, and the only no of this name then in the Directory, and, being a stranger tn a strange iand, hunted him up, thinking possibly he might prove a relative. He did not find any re- lationship existing between them, but he founda a pretty daughter, whom he soon after married, Born of thls marriagé on January 22, 1804, was Charles O'Conor, He was born at No. 125 Front street, but little over @ stone's throw from his present office in Wall street. Meantime bis father had bought 4,000 acres of iand in wh ia now Steuben county, this State, but what waa then known as the Genesee country. The family shortly moved to their wilderness home, where Mr. Q'Conor’s father and a brother speedily joined them. General Ker- nan, uncle of John MoKeon and father of vhe pres- ent member of Congress from Oneida county, settled thore at the same time. Here were passed the frst six years of Charles O’Conor's Iiife. His earliest recollections are of that wilderness home and the perils and hardships of their pioneer life, the lurk- ing indians by day, the howiing wolves at night, and the deep depths of the winter snows. Be- fore he was old enough, however, to know his father, the latter came to’ this clty and remained here. He got embarrassed in some way, and was put in the debtors’ jail, then at No. 1 Chatham street. Here young Charles first saw his father to know him. He still remembers the feeling of keen anguish it gave him to find his father restrained of his liberty and hedged in by prison bars and poits. “Itiw no disgrace, my son,” said tue father, tenderly caressing him, “my being here." “[ gaw the truth of what he told me in hia eye and mien,’ Mr. O'Conor has been heard to say, when reterring to this painful remembrance of his early childhood, “and it disturbed me no more, although the several months mother and [ passed tn jai with him were far from happy months; we ail felt happier wheu be was released.” WIS FATHER'S NEWSBOY. Released from dept and jatl, the elder O’Conor soon after established a weekly newspaper cailed the War, which name, however, after the publica- tion of a few numbers, was changed to the Military Monttor, This was at the outbreak of the war of 1612. O' Conor was # vigorously epigrammatic writer, though at times pie | @ wonderful capacity at ornate description. In the columns of his paper he availed himself of the broad opportunity atforaed him of giving vent to his burning indignation against the English government, which time and bis years of residence here had not abated. Charies, wh waa then eight years old, was his father's oMce boy, position that not only enforced keeping chi of the oMce in his father’s absence, but also delivering the Papers to subscribers. At this time New York had 90,000 inhabitants, the population of Brooklyn was about 2,000, and Jersey City was small coun- try village; and between it and New York, a3 aiso between here and Brooklyn, the communication was by row-boats, Newspapers were not then what they are now, @ subscription list of the Military Mont. tor was not very large, but it was sufficiently large to keep young Charles busily employed every Satur- day In delivering the papers to subscribers. “Some times the publication was delayed beyond the usual time, and to get through my circuit of de- livery would take all night,"’ he recbntty remarked toa gentleman, in speaking of this epoch of nis early daya; “but 1 boluly went up door-steps, chuck- ing papers under the doors; plunged into areas and down through alleyways, fearless of the police and everybody, fur my bundle of papers was @ perfect safeguard, a8 good to Me a3 tue gis and crested helmet to Hector."” “so you commenced your career as a newsboy!"’ queried the geatieman. “A newsboy of the old achool,’”’ rejoined Mr, O'Conor, With @ morry twinkie of the eye; ‘for be- tween newsboys of the old and modera school there is as marked a difference as between old aud modera school gentiemen."” He telis in vhis connection how one day he was Seated down in the littie, dingy office, when @ tali gentieman, wearing a muitary cap and cloak, and of a decided military air, came in and said he wished to subscribe for the papel hia i the subscription book, gir,” said young Charlies. “This ia my name," said toe military gentioman, pointing out his name atter writing it in thy book. “Zebulon Pike was the name," says Mr. O'Ca telling the story. “Jt was written with the mai voidness of John Hancock's autographs, 1 made up my mind that no man could write his name with such @ big flourish uniess he was a big mau and my first inquiries were to find out who he was, and when | found he was @ general in our army I looked for a long time with pride upon that auto- graph, but with a sorrow and regret few felt more deeply on learuing of bis death at the capture of Little York.” COMMENCING TIS LAW STUDIES. Six months at one of the public school city, the tuition gained in his father's newspaper offices, the last newspaper he edited and published being the Shamrock, aud the veacbing given nim by hia (ather comprised the extent of Ct O' Conor's education, Lis father, however, Was a fine scholar, andthe pains he took with hia early training and education made ample amends for ais lack of regular education at school and college. In addition to 8 dound bngish education his father taught nim tho classics and higher mathematics and the French language, Keeping up his sbudios even waiver he com. meuced studying law. It is @ faot worthy of mention in this connection that the late James T, Brady was likewise simiiary indebted to his father for his early education, At the age of twelve young O’Conor entered upon his jJegai studies, He first. read law in the office of Honry W. Stannard, nextin the office of Stephen P. Lamoyne, and last in the office of Joseph 1). Fay, father of the preagnt United Btatos Minister to Switzerland, It was not taw reading almpiy—it was earnest, thorough, i ae study. He threw into his studies all the force, fervor, passion of his ardent young nature, He studied late into the night, Buttn those years he suffered privations. Ho dressed poorly. He had no money to spend upon places of amusement, He often suffered the bivver pangs of hunger. “tten tn those daya { went all day without cating and to bed without any supper," he has been beard to say more than once When speaking Of this period of life, Privation, want, hunger were nothing to him.

HIGH PRIVAT IN TUM MILATIA. One optaode tn his life at this time ia worth relat. ing. ‘This ts bis appearance ag high private in a militia regiment. Mr, Tamoyne, she second gentioman in Whose office he read law, was military enthusiast, He belonged to @ com: of the 142d militia regi- ment, of which the late Charles King, the long and President of Columbia College, waa colonel, ugh then only seventeen, he had attained in aise the full stature and dignity of a man. “I want you to join my militia company,’ said Mr. wo one day, Lamoyne to bin ; allo and all asked O'Uonor. : var’ “ALL Tights ‘hen, I am at your service. And jutred aud equipped as whe militia code directed, he mad le his appearance io the militia company, He attended Che drills and inspections and was in his piace, often the right of the line, from being the tallest man in the company on e, “I remember one Fourth of July marching and it day," he tells now when apeak- countermarchin, of this othing to eat—going home hungry and sad aud pperiess, while the other members of the company foasted and royatered und went home merry. Mr, Lamoyne made no provision,” he adds with jocular smpahals on provision, “for eating expenses." ia military career, if not brilliant, was cer- temly brief, Hla Fourth of July experience was military enthusiasm eatended to an incon- aiderate and unsatisfactory point. He positively refused to do any further military service. ADMISSION TO THE BAR AND BARLY PRAOTIOR, In 1824 fateh was admitted . fer Q ‘enty yoars Of age; bat young in ty ine to ho bar fay spenopliod for fo- rensio strife. At that time, , it was custom. ary with law students during the progress of tueir studies to frequefit the law courta and (here famil- jarize themselves with proceedings tn court. It was also the oustom then, as now, for young atudenta to undertake minor cases tn minor courts for preliminary practice. Mr, O’Conor did neither, Like 9 giants = apringiug from the teeth of Cadmus, he entered the legal arena fully armed and ready to cope with any adversary presenting himself, He showed himself a giant st the very outset, Als first practice was in tio Marine Vourt, civil justices’ courts aud Cours of Sessions, I¢18 only saying what ts true when we alate tat Bo oarried everything before him, He here met not only old and experienced practitioners, but young men of surpaasing briliianoy, like hiuselr struggiiag into practice, and who since have likewise achieved eminent distinction in the profession, We might tell a good many anecdotes connected with his early peatvoe, showing not only the natural acuteness of 18 mind and his complete mastery of ble nicest metaphysics of the law, but the nature of the cases with which he then had to deal. The second mate of & Vessel, & reckless young fellow, had fre quently employed him as counsel to defend him against charges of assault and battery and other alleged crueities perpetrated on sip. board, Mr. O’Oonor had uniformly succeeded ta accomplishing his acquittal. Finaliy ue told him that if he would persist in perpetually getting into these petty dimoulties be must get some oluer iawycr to defend him, for he would no longer have anything todo with such petty cages. One day, while Mr, O'Conor was attending a reference case in the Mariae Court, the young tellow, accompanied by an oilicer, came rushing excitedly into the court room. “Oharley, Come here; t want to see you," apoke up the young man, “No,” answered Mr, O’Oonor. “But you must come,” anatated the youuu tan. “Lveli you Pl have nothing to do wita you,” ce jomed Mr. O'Conor. “Bus the Cage te Important." “All your Gages are important," “This 18 NO petty case—a big case, sure." “How big?!” “Tney have arrested me for murder, by jingo.”* O'Conor took hold of the “big cage,” and, ag usual, cleared his man, Let itnot be understood thas all his cases at this time were of minor character. He had not been long at the bar when he argued an important casein the Supreme Court, before a fall bench, against Thomas Addis Emmet, the nople monument to whose memory, high genius and exalted worth may still be aeen by the aS1Ng throng on Broadway, in St. Paul's churchyard. He beat hus distinguished opponent, The case grew out of tne election of trustees for St. Peter's church, and is fully reported in Cowen's Reports. The principle involved was whether illegal votes vitiated an elec- tion, It ig unnecessary to dwell on the points ot the case. ‘The rosuit showed that he was able even then to cope with the highest talent at the bar, Mr. Em- met at this time having reached the zenith of his brilliant legal career in this city. He also ably argued, while still @ young man at the bar, the question of the rights of the Southern States, under the constitution, with regard ‘ the seizure of fugitive slaves, and urged that no trial by jury was appiicable to sach cases, ‘ine most inem- orable of these cases was that of the fugitive slave Jack, which he argued with distingmshed ability before the Supreme Court of this State and the Court of Errors, beiore a Tull bench, and ia which, as will be remembered, he carried al! hia poinss. We might multiply these early cages to an indent nite length, but it is unnecessary, His practice rapidiy imereased and his fame ana tufuence as rapidly extended. M13 MORB IMPORTANT CASrS. We shall not undertake to more than brieiy aitude to his more important cases. They ara scattered through the legal reports of the past forty years. The one bringing him most conspicuously tato pubils notortety wag the celebrated Forrest divorce case, He did not add to his reputation tn this case. He had made all his reputation before. He did only what it was known he would do—conduot the case with hia accustomed consummate skill, weave a network of argument in summing up that could no more be broken than the threads of Cassandra, and win the cage. His victory over that brilliant advocate, John Van Buren, was an utter routing from every stand- pegs of hia dashing and splendid foe. All remem: r the honors showered upon him afterward, the magnificent silver vase presented to him on Vehaif of thirty of the leading and most estimable women of our city; aud then, again, the massive siiver pitcher presented him by his associates of the New York bar. This last memorial, by the way, bore the arms of the family of the O'Conor Don, with, in this case, its fittingly augges- tive motto, From God cometh the succoriag cham: pion.’ in all the great cases of the Life and Trust Company, involving mulions of money, he was re- tained, adding largely to his reputation’ by his skil- fulmanner of handing them. His argument in the Almaden Mining Company case, tnvoiving the question of title to a large tract of land in California, made before the United States Supreme Court, i univeraaily acknowledged as one of the abiest and most exhaustive ever heard at that distinguished tibunal. Shortly before the war he was engaged in the famous Lemon case, which was carried, as will be remembered, tron the Supreme Court to ths Court of Appeals. Opposed to him was Wilitam M. Kvarts, one of the few men at the New York bar maekic, any approach to being Mr. O'Uonor’s peer, The point at issue was the question of the right of @ slave owner to pass through the free States with fis slaves, Though defeated, lis clear and jogical argument remains on record an imperishable proof of his forcible reasoning aad richness and folleity of tilustration, In the Parrish will cage, tn which Francis B. Cucting opposed num and in which he was successful, lis argument as to the competency of testators, in extent of researck and comprehensive grasp of the question under conside- ration, is universally to be without @ parallel, [+ is said that in preparing for the defence of Jem Davis he had savordinated ail the learning and statesman- ship extant border | upon the cage, and that he designed making this tue crowning profes nal effort of hia life, But we are going over familiar ground full of fascinating tutereat to all appreciating the consummate ability aud bigh-toned character of this distinguished man and auvocate and which makes us love to linger—but time and space both ee us 60 Degin drawing our sketch to a close, ¢ will only add in this conueotion that he is gradually withdrawing from the bar. He docs ho attorney business. Alter finishing up the Jumel will case he will abandon his profession entirely, CAUSH OF BUCCRSS. “You have been a very successful lawyer," said a gentieman to him not long ago. “To whatdo you mainly attribute your success.” “Study,” he laconically answered. Mr. O'vonor hag been @ diligent student atl life, and to this, of course, 13 largely to bo atteibu his splendid success, But if he had not posse: gouius, true Promethean spark Ki souls and bis ows, he never would lave reached his present nigh omt- hence, Besides prodigions legal learning he is pos- sessed of that forcible common sense that enavies Inm to make his points as equally clear to the uniet- tered juryiman as to the profoundest jurist, And Desides this he possesses in no ordinary degree those attributes of votce, figure, looks and action giving freatest charm to eloquence, In the heat of argu- ment, though at times quiet and almost cold tn nis Manners, bis face is instinct with expression aud his eye wt particular dark and glittering, ——an aye of fire Showtng proud apirit and prompt to ire, Glowing with intellectual splendor.
