New Yorxg, Nov. 14.—In theSun tomorrow will appear a letter addressed to the editor fromJay Gould in which the writersays theroare a group of roads known as the Western and Southwestern systems, travess- ing a most fertile and rapldly developing ter- ritory of the United States and that thestock and bonds of these properties is held by thousands of investors in the eastand upon the prosperity of these roads many RE vestors depend for dividends upon which to live. “Something over eighteen months ago,” writes Gould, “during a period of great depréssion three great u:.m&:w houses in- vited the presidents of these roads to meet. Tho result of that meeting was the formation of the so-called presidents’ agreement, and it may interest you to know the difference in the net earnings of this group of roads as be- tween the rates which were established and maintained for several months after that agrcement and the rates that pre- vailed under the disorganized state of affairs thathas existed since theagreement was bpoken. I estimate the total number of tous moved oné mile -nuumlf by this group 0 be 16,000,000,000. The auditor of one of these roads furnished me with astatement showing the difference between the rates under the presidents’ agreement and present rates which amounts to an increaso of 14100 mills per ton per mile. Applying this difference of 14100 mills to 16,000,000,000, the gross annual tons of one mile' gives the startling figures of $22,400,000 annual decline in the net éarning of 'this system of roads as between their operation under tho presidents' agreoment and the loose methods now prevailing. Under this condition of things it is hoped the bank- ers can be induced to call the presidents together again with the assuranco that they h:va the the whole mass of investors behind om. them, H ok The Government Watchful, Wasmyaroy, Nov. 14.—Lato advices from the Pine Ridge ageney, South Dakota, are to the effect that the excitement among the Yo- dians on account of the new Messiuh is rapidly increasing.

Gibbons is a young man from Sioux City, but at present he is boarding at the county jail. Young Gibbons and his father operate an employment bureau in the corn city, and they seem to have adopted some un- scrapulous methods of making money in the business, Yesterday morning the younger member of the firm arrivedin Omaha, accom- panled by fifteen laboring men, who had paid the employment bureau of Gibbons & Son 86 each, in consideration’ of an agreement by which the men were to be trsnsported to Seattle, Wash., and furnished employment when they arrived there at$ a day, with board at #4.50 a week, When the men and thoir employer arrived inOmaha, however, Mr. Gibbons offered them passes to Newcastie, Wyo., which they would not “m‘l"” He ex- pliined that the comyany for which he had employed the men, rick Brothers & Colling, did not want any men at Seattle, but wotild givo the men work in the Black Hills. The men saw at once thatthey had been swindled and began to make considerable dis- turbance about the matter, Officer Fleming, who is on duty at the union depot, inquired into the cause of the trouble and when the matter was explained to him heasked yourg Gibbons what he intended to doabout it. Gibbons became insolent and sald it was none of Fioming’s business what hedid. He was promptly arrested and taken to the polico station. At 30'clock the caso was called. The fif- teen men were all in court and had their con- tracts with them, Judge Helsley fined Gib- bons 20 and costs for earrying concealed weapons, and in default of payment ho taken to the county jail. He acted very surly and stubborn, saying he would not “send a line or a word to his father about the matter, but would board the fine out in the county Jail. The poor fellows who had been swindled out of # each said they had left good posi- tions in Stoux City upon the promiseof some- thing betver.

A Tribute to ‘tio Lato Justioo Miller by l’nfiefl of the Bar, ] JUDGE WOOLWORTH'S ELOQUENT EULOGY. A Remarkable Gathering and a Mer- ited Memayial of One of the Greatést Minds in Mod- ern Jurisprudende. The space within the bar of the United States court was crowded yesterday morning with prominent attorneys from all sections of the district and from this eity. A number of federal ofMicials and prominent citizens were alsopresent, The cause of this gathering was found in the anuouncement that the committee apnointed to prepare and roporta memorial and resolutions bearing upon the lifeand deathof thé late Justice Samuel £, Miller would report to the court. Hon. J. M. Woolwor th introduced the fol- lowing: “The announcement having been made from the bench that on October 14 last,at his home in Washington, the Hon, Samyel F. Miller, the senior assoclate justice of the su- preme’court of the United States and & judge of this court departed this hfe. “It is ordered that the following memonral be entered upon the journal: “The judicial carcer of Mr. Justice Miller covered a period in tho history of the coun- tryof momentous interest. T'he novel and grave questions towhich the civil war gave rise, as well in its course and progress as in the readjustment of the forces and the de- partments of tue government after its close, expanded the various jurisdictions of the urt toits utmost constitutional competen- In the high debates upon these tremen- dous issues, this cminent jurist held a high, and as far 4s was permitted, to any one man, a dominant part. He heiped largely to es- tablish upou their true foundations the prin- ciples of the constitation as the same shall hereafter from geucration to generation be administered, “Nor was his service limited to that great function. In every department of the law, novel and great qicstions were brought into judgment and in their solution he exercised adequate Rovers, To great capacity for labor, he added equal aptitude to his duties: his was the rare combination of industry and intuition. Unconscious of the solicitudes ot those who seck applause, be never gave heed to what was alien to a just consideration. Im- patientof incompetency of council and incon- consequence in argument, he gladly accepted all real aids to a correct conclusion : no repu- tation was great enough to mislead him and no counsel was so obscure as not to be able to command his attention to whatever was use- ful, honest and sound in the discussion. His capacious mind was stored with the treasures of vast learning. His reasoning was direct, rapid, accurate and certain, so that in the re- sult the impression wasnot of the process by which it was reached somuch as of the power of the demoustration. To him may be applied Charles Lamb’s deseription of the old Bencherof #he Iuner Temple, ‘his step was massy and elephantine, his face square as the Lion's, his gait peremptory and path-keeping, indivertable from his way as a moving col- umn.? *T'he style of his composition was judicial: it was accurate, concise, vigorous and virile and his opinions abound in single sentenecs, comprehensive beyond the writings of almost, any other judge. 'He was a living oracle of thelaw. £ “When not excrcising his magistracy, he was easy of approich by the humblest, gentle in his ‘nature, attractive in his wanner, un- swerving in his affections and orave and chivalrous in the defence of his friends. He was & great magistrate, and a good man." In support of the foregoing, Mr., Wool- worth spoke us follows: “How can [ speako the words that are fitin this place? Under the stress of @ personal grief, T darenot'givé expression to my own afiction. At tho'samdtimethe restraints of this public ceremony oall for measured terms in which o set forth the great charac- ter which has ceased from among men, “It is one of the melancholy experiences of this poor human nature of ours, that, after thecommittal of the form of a dear friend to theground, earth to earth, dust w dust, ashes to ashes, thelife that, is over segms iudecd but a tale after itis told. The years and the days were full of stir, and action, and service, andstruggle, and achievement ; éach moment as it passed with its emotion, experience, growth seemed a life time; but mnow the memories of them are but shadows that donot abide; a few hours are hardlwneeded to rehearse what may be re- called; some incidents, some expression, some smiles, and tears, some fond emotions, they aroalmost all, The dofectof memory is supplied by the affections of the heart; indeed, our love diffuses itself over the char- acter of our dead and is asweeter consola- tion than any recital, save as it ministers to our affection. “But it is all otherwise when we pass from ourprivate cxperience and s personal grief to the contemplation of a life that has been part of the history of a great institution or of reat cause. Its circumstances more than fill the number of the years and days; its transactions rise to the grandeurof historic events; the character expands % the dimen- sions of the institution it illustrated, or the cause it served. It seems as if the tale were never wholly told. The affections instead of overbearing memory, arothem- stlves suppressed in the presonce of the names of the great dead. “The time allotted to this exercise,does not ermit & minute account of Judge Miller's ife. His mother came from the mountains of North Carolina, and his father from interior of Pennsylvania, w the remote parts of Kentucky. 'hey were of that rugged manhood seen on the frontier which breeds a ‘Webster, a Clay and & Lincoln. The con- ditions were simple: books not many in number filled the little shelf in the living- room—the bible—"'Paradise L.ost’—Shakes- gelre—\\'rlhlngs of the Calvanistio faith—the Pederalist and the Constitution. But high thought was there and high discourse—not of various topics, but of the great problems of human destiny and of civil government, In that humble home, under that most gentle but elevated instruc- tion, he was reared, The boy's schooling was notextendaed; a little Latin, some mathemat- icsand a delight in natural science, was about all; but there was a true love of books. It was then he stored his memory with_ the verses of some of the modern poets and filled his imagination with the various scenes of the Waverly novels. His natural tastes made him seek employment in the country drug store, from which he went to the medical col- lege, Returning, he began the practice of medicine. - He loved that science till his death; his last word$ were spent in describ- 1ng his sensations when stricken down, and he knew as well as, the attending physician what it meant. At this time he began to ex- verience the exhilawation of public speech sharp contention. ~ A debating ¥ whic ae to the coun- try town aboutt) "all its entertainment brought him into hAn-to-hand struggle vrith other minds, He fdlt also the stimulus of companionship moge or less free with a num- ber of the most, vigarous sons of Kentucky—a ruco I may say, periaps, more than any other In tnis laud,’ always vigorous, self- dependent, pasterful and genecrous. These experiences and [}‘ ence led him to turn from the practice of. .mediciue to the profes- sion of the law. He entered upon the new career at & mature age-a circumstance which has been supposed not to give promise of large success, It well be doubted if the inference is just. mind of great natural vigor, trained to clogq processes not. only by study, but by sharge collisions with others and @ delight In" the engagements of the bar gave promise of much from the great change. F'rom tho first these oxpectations were realized, Aboutthis time the peopleof the Commonwealth posed to themselves the work of framing asystem of governmmt more fully developed, more consistent with modern schemes than that of 1790, The trans- cendentquestion was that of slavery. Henry Clay, the Guthries, the Breckenridges, the Harlans and others of the great families of Virginian extraction, entered into high de- bate. Cassius M, Clay led the slender forces of those who believed that slavery was an un- mixed evil which must be rooted out, or would in time, like dragon's teeth, bear a frightful crop of personal and civil miseries. “'Young Miller joined himself to the new doctrine and carried into the contention that stronuous, passionate, independent spirit which had come to him from his ancestry and had been developing all the years of his life But in the manner and measure of his advo- onoy I see much of what afterwards became the man, His youthful realing of the consticntion, expounded, illnstra and en- forced by the Federalist, guided his convie- tions, i ho great principles of the Ameorican polity as established by the fathers, led him 1o the beliof that slavery was to be dealt with by the state and he strongly condemned the ill.-regulated aspirations of the abolition- ists who looed to the nation for redemption. His soul abhorred the institution, not, I ap- prehend, chiefly for the physical miseries which it entailed upon the shve as they are portrayed in ‘‘Uncle Tom's Cabin” What ~ impressed his _ mind was the moral degradation of the condition; this he saw must becomne moreand moroabject from gevoration 1o generation. The reflex influence upon the master gave him vastly greater alarm, He looked, not with distrust or disapproval, but horror upon the pretensions, now b the height of the institution, which had so far perverted its - advocates, that attributed to ita divine origin and sanction He reprobated, too, its inflience upon men's sense of justice, developing arrogance, vio- lonce of pussions and contermpt for law. To justly trace the growth of his character, it is not enough to say that he was an antislavery man, It must ve added that he was an ant slavery man not because his emotions w agitated, but because the deliberato convic :!unsol his mind were against the institu- jon, “Ihe controversy resulted in the triumph of sluyery; its power was reinforced and its continuance entrenched by provisions ncor- porated into the new stitution, The re- sult did not disappoint his expoctations, but it filled him with grave fears —his mind was profoundly agitated, The issue had to hin a personal meaning; it moant the abject sur- render of his opinions, or a life outof sym- pathy wath his ueighbors, He could giveup neither his convictions nor bis friends, vl\ nothing remained but the Dbeginning of a new life in a new land. ‘“The choice he made of a new home was characteristic. He turned away from the home of his childhood and his friends there, to a free state. But he did not flee far from the house of his father's. Kcokuk, in Towa, at tho southern extremity of the long peninsula of that state, which stretches far south of the uatural voundary of Missouri, a town itself ll“'u"l‘"l' and in the midst ot a regeion p(‘n'ple( by emigrants from the south— # community distinguished by the gentleness and manliness whichgrace and diguily south- orn character—seemed to offer to hima home most congenial to his nature. If he could not longerlive in the old commonwealth, he would find ahome among a people most like those he loved and left. Here you ‘what man- ner of man he was-—-his affections vever re- laxing their hold wpon their objects; his na- ture expanding moro and more, embrack wider and wider subjects, but alwa the same from youth intoa ripe old age, "Twelve years include his carcer atthe Towabar. He rose to its head. His name appenrs in the volumes of the reports as fre- quently asany other. They were years of work; he was not led away by social pleas- ures, although he delighted in their refrosh- ment. Hewasnot absorbed by currenton- gagements, although every one of them had bis best attention. He read the reports with diligence, but cases had littlo value in his eyes save for the principles they illustrated. Tne institutes of the law filled his mind and he reasoncd with himself upon them until they became his great possession, It was a favorite theory of Judge Miller that acountry town is the best place for a young lawyer. Hevalued its opportunities for reflection and study; the closo and con- stant contact with _various characters; the development of individuality. o thought these conditions favored the slow and there- fore, solid growth of opinions, principles and power which, at their maturity make the strong lawyer. 'Chese advantages he often sot off against those of the large city and gave them great preference, ““What he made himself during those twelve years, fitted him forhis great carcer. It has been supposed that his growth to the | statuo of agiant, was after his elevation to the bench: that at his appointment, he was not only mot known, but not qualified either by learning, experience or skill for the high sitn; and that it was an acci- ent that he proved o be what he was, Thero mnever was a greater mistake: His first opinion in the Wabash case reported in 2nd Black and his lust inre Burrus, the lastof the judgments of the last term on the last page of 136 U.S., not only bear traces of the same hand, but they are not greatly unequal in accuracyof statement, force of réasoning, and that folicity of judi- cial style, which make his judgments models for such compositions. What he was at this time, is well attested by the judgments of his associates, formed during the first term of his sitting with them. The opinion of them all was expressed by the venerable chief jus- tico. When thejudges were about to separ- ate and o to their circuits, Judge Taney took the young justice wavmly by the hand and said: ‘My Brother Miller, I am an old and broken man. Imay not be here when you retur, I cannot 1et you go without ox préss- ing to you my gratification that you have come among us. This has been one of the pleasantest terms I have ever at- tended. Ioweit wreatly to your courtesy. Your learning, zeal and powers of mind a sure me that you will maintain and advan the high traditions of the court. I predict for you o career of great usefulness ‘and honor'—words that were.a benediction. Iam justified by this great authority in saying that \udge Miller came to his high officeas compe- tent, to doits duties as any other judge, But now began his great career, covering twenty- eight years. *“The first duty to which he addressed him- self is worth mentioning. He felt that hehad not an exact and thorough mastery of the jurisprudence of the federal courts. Ho turned atonce to the reports of the supreme court and began with the first case, Miller vs Miller, in 2 Dallas, aud went through to the very list; Conway et al.vs Taylor's execu- tor in1 Black. Each in its order was read and reread until he had in his grasp its facts, the reasoning of counsel, the opinion of the courtand the points deciced; compatison ono with another procecding a8 the number of those alveady mastered, multiplied. To his studyhe gave all his powers, and when it was completed his capacions mind was stored withall the learning of the court. He was the ¢qual of his eldest associate in the knowl- edge of what the court had said and of the differences between the judges, and he de- fined to himself exactly his own opinions on all poiuts in dispute. “The judicial caveer of this eminent jurist covers & period_ in the history of the country of momentous interest. When he entered upon it, the war between the two sections had just broken out. It immediately gave rise to many quos- tions of vital consequence, In the prize cuses the competency, legal and actual, of the na- tion, to close the ports of the insurrectionary states, became of transcendemt importance. So, 00, the suspension of the habeus corpus by lhc\n‘cthcmund(hu Jurisdiction assumed by military courts over the citizen gave ground for most serious contention, These are but samples of the questions which the war raised, , All the settled policies of ad- ministration'were overturned and new pri ciples—new save as developed from tho maxims of the constitution—were brought into operation. At the close of the terrible conflict states were to be reconstructed and the unioa consolidated. The relations of the feeat departments of the government were to e readjusted and defined anew. Interna- tional disputes of delicacy and gravity were to be determined. Many of the duties of the citizen and many Of the ~ reciprocal duties of state wereto be restated so as to command popular assent by the persuasive force of temperate and reassuring but cogent reason- mg. In these supreme exigencics, all the va- rious jurisdiotions of the court were brought into active and vigorous exercise, “Nor was the process of the oxpansion of the judicial power terminated with the war and the peculiar guestions to which it gave rise. The vigor imparted to thepopular mind by the stimulating experiences of the great contentions was one of its marvelous phe- nomena. The spirit of enterprise and ad- venture which followed its close gave to commerce an expaision; to industries @ vigor; emigration & volume; to the discov- eries of "science, the devices of invention and theories of moril and political philosophy an activity such as was never before conceived . tution intorested him most and received great: est exposition at his hands. The granacur of his intellect und the elevation of his charac- ter, especially fitted him to deal adequately with constitutional questions. His judgments may be_estimated by comparison with those of Chief Justice Marshall. ~They are in num. bers muny times greator; in the novelty and gravity of the questions (nvolved and In his power of demonstration, they aro fully equal to thoso of the great expounder. Putside the cases of Dartmouth college, the United States bank and Marbury v Madison on the one side and the Slaughter House, the Legal Teader and the Nagle cases on the other, and n no quality of judicial performance will a Just estimate give precedonco to either, I must hasten 10 the last supreme_moment of thisgreat life. On_the 19th of May last Judgo Miller read from the bench the opinion in ro Burrus, and at once the court ad- journed for the term. How short and dim is our visionof the future! Ho bado farewell to his associates with the melancholy fear that two of them would nover again take theirseats in the court, so heavily had the duties of the torm borno upon them. He went to his circuit, anxious to visit as muny of the districts as ho could, feel- ing sure it was for the last timo He came here, where he always loved to come as much as to_any other of the dis. tricts of his circuit. Ho ‘sat by the side of your Honor iu the seat of justice. In Colorado he experienced serious {ncouvenionce from the peculiarity of the climate, but was de- tained there by the illness of 'his wife and hislove for a little child. He returned to Washington his strengthnot recruited by vacation, On Friday before the Mond pointed by law for the bezinning of the term, he went to the capitol. He visited the oMices of the clork and thomarshal ; sat down in tho library of the judges, spent a while in their retiring room and then went into the court room. He stood where so many great men had stood and addressed him. ° He passed around tothe seat from which he had read his judgments. What recollections ; so mar: 80 interesting, so affecting _must have crowded upon' his memory! What antic- ipations of yet sor vears of _life, of service, of affection, and of honor must have filled his breast. 1t was the last time he over entered that place, butone, He turned to his home, He was within sight. of it—he had not reached it—he was stricken down. After a few hours of consciousness, the worldand all it held, faded ont of his sight. Through a great concourse of his fel- low citizens ho was borno back to the capitol and the court room. The vites for the dead were performed so simply, 5o consistent with his character, Inhis old home, among his friends, beside his own kin, he’ was laid to rest. “There s one thing of which T must speak —itis most fit to be mentioned here. He held as far above all houors, the vocation of o lawyer. He scorned the man who had taken the vows of the profession and bad failed to keep them; he grioved when any one had served it to'a ripe age and did not cling to_it. Ho used to remonstrate with his friends who contemplated retivement w their powers remained. He would say that the true lo s of an estate as secure and verierable as an estatein lands: its income more certain than rents; its dig- nity higher than that of acres. *good cors who met this vitul man whern'on the circuit were stimulsed by his enthusiasm for thelaw and renvwed again their vows of al legiance to 1t. “Any portraiture of Judge Milier's char- acter ‘would be incomplete which does not present another side to which was never secn by many meu, Tliey looked upon him when in the publicexercise of the mugistracy There he was serious, almost to sternne: He was impatient of incompetency and tention and expressions somet escaped him which he did not me: ure. Ho never usel words of sev erity to any connsel who assisted the discus- sion; tosuch ho was all attention. But the court was sacred in ks eves as the Ark of God, and he who desecrated it, deserved the fate of Uzah, “But in truth he was a very gentle natuve. His sympathies were active nd very warm. He rejoiced with those who do rejoice and ho wept with those who wept. You may know how lively were his sens os from the reading by which he refreshed himself; cer- tain of the English poets and the Waverly novels were his delight from boyhood,and he was never too old to enjoy tales that were picturesque and full of character and pathos He was avery human man, and in nothing more so than his love of his friends. Misfor- une, even wrong-doing, did not turn his face from them; his charity was boundless, and he would brave the world in giving them a succor that was chivalrous. 1t was a duty of piety with him to answer the request for heip which_came from the children and the chil- dren’s” children of his early friends, and his delight was to talk of them and of those whom he long had loved. Of all this I could tell you tales that would make you cease to wonder why o many tears ave shed for him. “'A word must be said of his religious c victions, He was reared intbe Caly faith—a doctrine not altogether lovely, which toughens the moral fibro of its desci les. In his manhood,his mind revolted its havsh and dark coufession and he ac the milder and more human belief of Uni- tarianism, For years he was president of the national conferénce, and he was a devout worshipper at the altars of his communion. But his mind was little occupied with dogma; retigin to him was a life—ils end was chavacter. He held it useful to his soul not.so much because it fitted him for death and the life beyond death, as because it lifted his nature_herein this world up to the divine, Ho did not indulge in much dis- course of his religious life, but he was in truth a devout man. Many years ago he uu- derwent a surgical operation of great delica- cy and hazard, - He hardly escaped alive, After his deliverance he called his pastor to his home, and with him and his family, knelt down as humble as a Little child and thanked his Heavenly Father for His meroy. At the conclusion of Judge Woolworth's address, the memorial was ordered spread upon the records and the court aunounced that 1t had desired to hear the report when Judge Caldwell was present, but it had been necessary for the committee to report today on s:count of the contomplated absence of Judize Woolworth from tho city. ‘The court further announced that when Judge Caldwell arrived an opportunity would bo given any member of the bar who wished todo so to make remarks upon the death of Justice Miller.
