hyperbole
Twain is using hyperbole, an exaggerated statement or claim not meant to be taken literally, to emphasize the authority and power his father held as a justice of the peace. By saying his father had the power of life and death over all men, Twain is portraying his father's role as having immense control and influence over the people in his community.
