JUDGE POLLOCK AND HIS SUCCESSOR.

Our Court closed its session yesterday,
friday morning, which also Closed the
official laborS of his Honor Judge Pollock,
as President Judge of this district, as well
as those of Judge Welker, Associate Judge
Tor this County. The proceedings in rea-
ton to this matter and Of the compliment
tary supper given to the Judges, will be
found in another column. 1t is but Just 10
Junge Pollock TO say, that in his official re-
lations and duties, he has fulfilled the ut
most expectations of his warmest friends.
AS for ourselves we can truly say, that
though we had every confidence in his
capacity ana ability, We hardly expected to
find the promptness and decision he has in
variably exhibited, without some little ex-
perience on the Bench.
In regard 10 Judge WelSer we may
truly say that he has ably, and most eff
ciently discharged the duties of his office,
and cordially endorse the resolutions of the
Bar in this respect.
In parting with Judge Pollock, it affords
us much pleasure to state that his success
sor is a man who has the entire confidence
OF the community, and we believe, the
whole Bar Of the district, without single
exception. Under these auspices, MIR.
Jordan may well be proud of his position
In this County, and we may say in this
district, il is we'll known that no man could
have been elected, whose competency OF
moral worth was questioned. Mr.. Jordan's
nomination, silenced, as we were certain II
would, all opposition, and he was elected
without distinction of party. The new
Bench is composed of men of good charac'
ter and standing, and will no doubt, give
general satisfaction.

s26,6s7 in value-aggregate of both 500, $50, 799.
This stock of coin was doubtless rendered quite
insignificant by the use of the coins in the arts
also, by the operation of the war of 1872 with
Great Britain, and the payments for importation Of
foreign merchandise, from 1915 TO lS26. No hal
dollars were coined at the United States Nun

Annual average. luoo.o so
In addition to this important diminution of our
coinage, by shipment to foreign countries, which
has followed from the course of trade for series
of years, we must consider the loss of coin by
abrasim, or wear, and otherwise, computed at
per cent annually; also, the large quantities OF
the precious metals used in the arts, for which a
full proportion of the supplies have been derived
from our gold and silver COMPATIBILITY from the
latter; American half dollars being nearly equal
in value, for use in manufacture with the best TO-
reign silver COINS and superior to many for that pur
pose By the census Of 1910, the value of gold and
silver articles made the previous year in the
United States, was 6, ia, $50, an amount, doubt
less, much moderated. II has been estimated,
however, that the consumption of gold and sill
yer in those manufactures, in 1899, was $3,000,-
GOO, the remainder being allowed for labor,
capital, &c; ase that from 1897 to ls47, At least
two millions OF dollars in value, of gold and silver,
per annum, were used in the arts, in the United
States. This Is a very low estimate; but it Is suf

profit of from to per cent These coppers thus find
their way chiefly to the retail grocery stores, and
thence to the various traders who keep wagons roing
round supplying these grocers with their articles
