Judge Alfred Constable, Of Maryland, has just been
offered the post Of Solicitor of the Treasury and will
probably accept IT, You will remember that It was re-
fused by Judge LIE Grand Chief Justice OF the Supreme
Court OF Maryland, Judge lie Grand was an applicant
for the Office which made il appear strange that he
should subsequently refuse it. It is however SAID IN
Washington that the illness of Chief Justice fancy caused
him 10 see the Chief Jusceship of the u 5. Supreme
Court in the back ground. And, consequence, to
undertake to spuate that his acceptance OF the Solicit
orsh;p should not bar his claims for something better
To which condition the President demurred Where
upon in hieh dudgeon he refused the Office he had just
previously asked.
