A meeting ol the bench end bar of the Court of Clatai ?as heh! ia the court-room at 11 o'clock to-day, and )lr. K. W. Corwine called the meeting to order. Chief Justice I?rake was called to the chair, and Mr. Archibald Hopkins, the clerk of the court electcd secretary. Thief Justice I'rake, on taking the Chair, addressed the meeting as follows: tmtMII or I HIRF JCST1CK DRAKE. The occupant of the mort exalted judicial station known to this country h.is close-! an honorable life of more than three-score and five years, and we are among the many thousand* of his mourners to-day. Among all those thou sands very few had known Salmon P. Chase a? long as I" had. Next month will be fifty two years since he and 1 became acquainted a* school-l-oy* at the school established at Worth ing ton. Ohio, by his uncle, Bishop Chase. Nine year-later our acquaintance was renewed in Cincinnati, when he ojiened there his profes sional career, and trom that time till his death our personal relations wtre those of friendship. He was then a beginner in the practice, and I a beginner in the study, of the law. I saw him constantly for years, and knew him well, professionally and socially. In recalling the circumstances of that time with reference to him. 1 lind that my most distinct memory is of the calm, steady, unfaltering industry with which he started out in life tn that city. He went there when a young lawyer's success at that bar was neither easy nor speedy. Num ber* of them of high social connections and fine talent* had opened offices there, awl that was all. One bv one they hud disappeared, the vic tims ot their own indolence, idleness, or dissipa tion. About the year l*.*o. however, a new and better set of young lawyers began to appear in that city, and among them Mr. Chase was con spicuous- tor hi.- upright life, his personal dig nity, his steady devotion to his profession. and hi.-'evident parpooe to achieve success if assidu ous, earnest, and faithlul labor could command it. Of all his contemporaries he hail as little tac ulty as any other for winning practice on the strict. From the first it was manifest that whatever he obtained was to come as the re ward of integrity, ability, fidelity, ami indus try. This only iuade it the more certain that he must wait for success, as must all young lawyers. Whether the i-eriod of waiting shall be to any such the seed-time for a rich harvest, dejiends" upon how it is occupied. He bravely determined that his waiting time should be one of work, heavy, exacting work, such as probably no young lawyer of twenty-two years of age ever ventured ujon, before or since. 1 his was no less than the preparation for publi cation of an annotated edition of all the general statutes of the Northwestern territory, and the state of Ohio, from the llrst appearan Je of w ritten laws in the farmer, in 1??8, down to 1KU, inclusive,a period of forty-six years. Some idea of the magnitude of this work, and of its immense demands ujion his intellectual facul ties and his powers of endurance, may be formed, when ft ia stated that it required the car* ful reading, and the intent study, in itself, and in all its connections prior and subsequent, of every general law that had been enacted there b'v annual legislatures through that lonn period." with none of which had lie had any acquaintance before he opened his office in Cincinnati; and. In addition,the preparation and incorporation of such notes and references as would enable the practitioner to find with ease and certainty what at any point of time in that i>eriod was the written law thereon any subject. As every lawyer will at once see, the \aliie of such a work lay in its entire and ad mitted completeness and accuracy. In neither ol these jioints have "Chase's Statutes" proba bly ever been questioned; in both they are be lieved to be unsurpassed by any similar work In tbi- country. Thev are at once a monument to his talents" and industry, and his recognized claim to the gratitude of the bar of Ohio. 1 have thus referred to the o[iening w.?rk of his life, because it |iointed to future distinction, and because it presents to the young men of the bar an example of professional enterprise, hraverv, and industry, which ought not to be wholly eclipsed by the brilliancy ol his subse quent career. To him who set such an example professional success was a certainty. He achieved it fully, and enjoxed it as long as hede-ired. But in the cour.se of vears he was called into the sphere ol public action and duty, and thenceforward he t>elonged, in one or other high stations, to the people of his state, or to the nation. 1 nto all he cartied the traits of hi> young manhood, and in all he served with great ability, acknowledged fidelity, and unquestioned integrity. Jf is'isi-st fit that the bar should show their rcfpect for such a member of the legal frater nity bv a suitable expression on the occasion of his removal by death from the last great trust ti nniittd to'him. He has passed from his ow n august tribunal to one immeasurably more au gust. where he no more judges, but is judged, and where the scales of judgment have always been, and will always be. absolutely and in variably true. To it he has taken the record of a lite marked by jieraonal integrity, earnest support ot what he believed to be right, steady and faithful lalor in his place, fidelity to all trust-, and. as I believe, by the faith and hope of a chiistian. II there were faults intermingled with his virtues?as in every human life there alw ays are?let us forget the former in our emu lation ot the latter; and we may realize that though his official eminence be* accessible to ver\ few . the eminence of an upright, earnest, and" faithlul life is open to all. Mr. Oolorth, Assistant Attorney General, moved that a committee be appointed to draft re.-olutions of resjiect to the memory ot the deceased; and the motion having been adopted. Messrs. Goforth. Corwine, Denver, tfuraut and McFherson were appointed. lion, -loseph Segar, during the absence of the corimittee. addressed the meeting, paying a g'orious tribute to Mr. Chase's memory.

Several wounds, apparently imin ted with a blunt instrument, w<*e discovered U|m,ii the head of the corpse, while the hands had evidently been bound together with a suspender which remained firmly tied around the righ' wnst. Nearly all of the jiockcts of the clothing had been turned inside out, which, with th'> wounds and the supposed binding, leads to the inference that the deceased was robbed, mur dered. and thrown into the wnter.

HaLL'n EXPEDITION is but one more item in the long catalogue ot dismal enterprises intended to wrest from na ture one of the secrets which she refuses to reveal to man, but always ending in disaster and defeat. Cabot, Frobisher, Parrv, Rae, Ross. Franklin, I)e Haven, Kane, McClintock. and Hall, have all tailed. Had they succeeded, thev would have settled a problem in geograph ical scieuce and solved one or two of the myste ries of the world?and that would have been all. But all have been repulsed, battled, starved, frozen, aiul many of the brave mon who followed intrepid leaders have laid down their lives with Hall ami Sir John Frankl<n, with no good results to the world, and only with the consolation for themselves that they met death bravely in a foolish cause A'. K. Com. Ak Kk(;i.i*h Expedition The village cor vette Chalionger is now at Halifax on a sclen. title trip around the world. The scientific party 1* composed of Professor Wvville Thompson, leader of the expedition; Dr. Buchanan, analyst: Dr. Sidenroxe Suchie and Messrs. Moeely, natu rwlists; Mr. Wylde, draughtsman, and John Morav, the great Arctic explorer. During the trip tr m Bermuda to Halifax she was engaged in .nVging and sounding. Nothing special was noted until Wednesday last, when the drrdpe brought from the bottom at a depth of two miles, a bio. k of granite, four feet by two, weighing "rfio poui'ds. It was not native to the locality. The edg s were worn bv the action of the wau r?, aud it was probably a relic of some vessel that had foundered where it was found. Pr< p. Loris Aoassiz finds it necessary to rve public denial to a pretended report of a cture which represents him as asserting that the blood of the negro is chemically different tiom that of the white man, and making other I rofeSKdly "scientific" statements indispar agt mei.t ol the race. The report originated in the west a? a burlesque, but has been accepted ?n cood faith by many newspapers in the aid souifa. GEORGETOWN.

The unfortunate man. whose buMit<M it wa? to feed the horses and mule.*, went to the stable to attena to that duty,when he was soon afterwards found laying in the stable.with the mule stamping on him ana kicking liim. He was at once pulled from under the animal and taken to the asylum. when Dr*. Appleby and Porter found that the bones in his Irtt side" were terriblv crushed, ami his left arm dreadfully lacerated by the animal'* teeth. The poor fellow died in about one hour after wants.
