Circuit Judge.

The Cannelton Reporter, published at the
residence of Mr.. SMITH, has the following
announcement, which We think will be re-
ccived with pleasure and most heartily re-
sponded to by the people throughout the
Judicial District:
We have seen during the week petition
to his excellencv, Gov. Willard, numerously
signed, asking for the appointment of the,
Hon. BALLARD SMITH as Judge of the Third
Judicial District, made vacant by the resig
nation of Judge Niblack.
The Governor cannot fill the vacancy by
an appointment that will receive more
general approval. Mr.. Smith is gentleman
qualified in an eminent degree for the re-
sponsible position, possessing high legal at
tainments, a character above rcproach, a de-
pertinent ut once refined, courteous and dig
nified; he would be worthy successor of the
high-toned gentleman who has so recently
presided ever the courts in the district
We hope that Mr.. Smith will receive the
appointment, feeling confident il would be
the most popular of any that could be made
in the Third District.

OF The numerous operatives in the
Cannelton Mills were startled last week
by the announcement from the Super
intendent that the Mill would be closed
on Saturday, unless the employees were
willing to submit to reduction Of ten
per cent Of their wages. Being reluc-
tant to yield, they did not give an i'm
mediate assent, and the Mill was closed.
Subsequently the hands yielded to the
inexorablS necessities Of the times, and
consented to accept lower wages. The
Coal Company also reduced the price Of
coal to the Factory and agreed to fur
nish it delivered at five cents per bushel,
for the term Of two years. 1t is said
the Factory will Immediately resume
work.

editor Of the Rochester Democrat has seen

the effect that duel was recently fought be-

one was rather severely wounded. The
other one, who had done gallant service in
Mexico. was ut once ordered off to Utah, and
the affair not made public. The same

commenced a furious attack. The officer
stood upon his defence. and finally succeed

the while becoming more hot and rash. In
dispossessing him of his weapon, the cadets
sword arm was wounded. He retired to. have
his wound bound up. and while absent one
Of his comrades assumed his place in the
combat. The wounded man returned and
again took his sword, and with increased
violence attacked the officer, who found it
necessary to use all his skill and vigor in
parrying the blows of his antagonist. When
the affair had become apparently one of life
and death between the combatants, a senior
officer came upon the ground and put an
end to it. The cadets who participated in
the combat were arrested, and it was sup

is stated, is a sen of General Jessup.
