We say, then:

be bought in England, it by no means toIto1oS

Of such duty On the contrary, we know that
we could not This is to practical man, the
simplest of truths. An important element of
cheapness in production is certainty Of prompt
and adequate market. Many man fails, man.

The U. S. Judgeship and c. Justice Nelson.
To the Editor Of The Tribune
Your Washington correspondent in the Tribune
this morning, in speaking of the nomination OF
Judge of the U. s. Supreme Court says:
Nearly all the Foco Delegation in the House signed
sa1 of the ase How TO- small FsoT snd
1ndg 70 maxi o S I it Almost a m of
| " the world !"
Perhaps there is no man to whom, to whose
conduct, the epithes of mean, small and pititul,
can with less proprety be applied than Chief JUS
tce Nelson. Your correspondent assumes, what he
had no right to assume, that the Chief Justice has
sendeayored to reach seat y in the I. S. Supreme
| Court and that he has procured the signature by
the Loco-Foco members, OF the petition tor his ap-
pointment. l know that you will not knowingly
give false impression or make a false lmputaton
and am sure therefore that you will this. The
Chief Justice so far from having g taken the course
| indicated by your correspondent has never desired
| the appointment, much less made any exertions or
taken any course TO obtain it. 1t is believed that
| he has suggested the names OF others suitable for
! the station-but has no desire Willingness TO re-
ceive the appointment for himself. Considering that
written recommendations for the station have been
! forwarded for many names in our own party, per-
| haps Beggars Petition is not the most expedi-
| ent appellauon. WING.
Our correspondent is quite right. The para
graph he objects to came to hand at midnight
and was instantly put in type for our columns
