Over there, in close conversation with a
stately looking lady is JudgesP s. s. of the
Supreme Bench He has Just delivered his
elaborate and able decision in favor Of the
constitutionality Of the Union Bank Bonds.
He is a gentleman of the old school. and
possesses fine conversational powers. He
is one Of the few in the world that,I should
like to hear talk by the hour on the beau
ties of progressive Democracy. He knows
that he has, in concert with his two Wing
colleagues. made decision that will forever
sink him with large portion of his party.
and though he is in the prime and vigor of
his fine intellect and assez juene as thepolite
French say, when one is little passe, he
knows with his well digested views of pro-
gression, that there is no resurrection for
him. Honor to the man who sacrifices his
own self interests to what he knows to be
the right, whether in cabinet OF council, in
the field or on the bench.

administration, with ferocity that would be
wholly consistent with the bloody times of the
French Revolution, chopped off his head after
he was defunct--that is, they ignored his resig-
