DEATH OF JUDGE SroRY.-This en-
inent man is no more. He died on
the evening of the lO;hCf September. at
his residence in Cambridge, at quarter
before . O'Clock. His pulse had ceased
TO beat and his hands were cold before 8
o'clock. His disease was stoppage of the
intestines, or internal strangulaiion, which
two years ago caused the death Of Hugh
s. Legare, Attorney General OF the United
States, then on a visit TO Boston.
The following brief note upon his career
we copy from the New York Tribune.
Picdyune.
Joseph Story was born in 1850. He
graduated at Harvard University in 1898.
He was appointed Associate Justice Of the
United States, by President Madison, in
1911. In addition To the duties Of Judge
of the Supreme Court, he devoted much Of
his time to the Cambridge Law School. as
Dane P,ofessor of Law in Harvard Uni.
versity. HIS commanding talents as a
Lawyer. and the peculiar felicity with
which he impaired to others the rich stores
of his own mind, gave Harvard Law
School preeminence over all other sim
liar Institutions.
The fame of Story was not confined TO
our country. He had desrvedly high
European reputation. His name reflected
honor on the high post of honor which he
held. Jay. Ellsworth, Marshall, Story and
others have given character to the Court.
and made it what The trainers oi the Con
stiruiion intended it to be. The crowning glo-
ry of a free and law abiding people Few
OF the great men who had given lusture to
the Supreme Court have done so much for
the clear exposition of IFS laws. Marshall
and Story rank side by side ir this respect.
Cool Judgment. great learning, iirmness Of
character. stict integri y, clear head and
a pure heart, rendering him eninenly fit
for that place, now vacant, and which we
fear cannot be filled. A substitute we may
and shall have-his equal we cannot ex-
TO find. The LOT ines of his inteilec.-the
purity of his gentle spirit-the magic spell
with which his conversation charmed his
hearers-made him the idol Of every circle
in which he moved.

The Democratic party is already busily engaged
in discussing the subject Of the appointment OF a
successor To the lamcnted Judge Story, OH the
Bench of the Supreme Court. The claims Of two
candidates only urged with much zeal. viz
Hon. Marcus Morton, Of Boston, and Hon. Levi
Woodbury., of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. One
OF these gentlemen will probably be nominated to
the vacancy by Mr.. Polk. Judge Morton is now
Collector of the Customs for this district. The
Hon Ether Shcpey, of Maine, il also mentioned
in connexion of the high Office. Al recent
meeting of the Democrats Of Lowell, resolutions
were passed in favor of Mr.. Morton; but per-

FRANCE AND MEXICO.

the Legation of France in Mexico. The
work, il is said. was written and published
by order of Louis Philippe, and under the
special auspices of Guizot. Soult, and 9th
er leading members OF the French Gov
ernmen'. The annexed extract from the
n. Y. Courier and Enquirer, As 10 the
nature OF the proposition, will be found
peculiarly interesting, as throwing some
light on the ambitious designs Of France:
In this work the author proposes that
NeIico be Transformed into monarchy,
ruh a European Prince at lis heal. He
shows that this step would not be parallel
ed in America. He says that Bolivar treat
ed with France on the establishment uf a
French Prince on the throne OF Columbia.
Similar oveItures were made by Moniev
deo and New Grenada, and repeated in
lS40, by the ex-minister Gutierrez Esra.

still in Europe, and spent the last winter
at ST. Peiersburgh. He suggests that a
Catholic Prince should be selected. and VI.
Mofras agrees with him. Such Prince
would unques,ionably come from France.
and it is contented thai the protection Of
the French, and vigorous administration
oi Mexican affairs, are alone capable Of
preventing California. and. eventually, the
whole OF Mexico, iion falling into the
hands of the Americans The necessity
OF French possessions in Tahiti, thai
France should hold the post Of San Fran

gT We see by the Vicksburg Wing, that the
citizens of Monroe, Louisiana, fearing that the
mouth of Red River, will be closed in the course of
few years, and that there will be outlet for the
products of that regon-are exerting themselves
to have public road established from Monroe, to
Vicksburg, or some other point the Mississippi
noar that place. We think their fears are ground
less The mouth of Red River in our opinion
never will close up. 1t may for short time when
the Mississippi is higher than Red River partially
fill up with sand, as has been the case, but it will
be opened again by the first freshet in Red River.
The only obstruction we fear to the navigation of

latter intersects the former. We look upon the
