The Supreme Bench.

The list below enumeraies briefly the ages
and times of appointment Of the Judges of the
Supreme Court Of the United States. In the
natural course Of events, extensive changes must
take place in its composition, within a few
years. Five Of the Judges are over seventy
years Of age, and the Chief Justice has entered
on his eighly-irst year. We received Il letter,
a few days since, from a gentleman, who re-
counted 4 conversation which he held with
Daniel Webster in 1851, concerning the char
acter Of the Bench, in which Mr.. Webster
said -
"The time was, sir, when a well-read law
yer, who thoroughly understood his case, could
form an opinion as to its result before the Su-
preme Court; but not now, sir, not now
That Court has become a Court of expedien-
cy."
Hon. John Mclean, a native Of New Jersey,
is the eldest member Of the present Bench, in
date of commission. He was appointed by
Jackson, in 1929. lie is seveniy-two years Of
age.
Hon. James NJ. Wayne, a native Of Savan-
nah, Georgia, holds the next Oldest appoint
ment, having received it in January, 1885. He
is seventy years of age, and up to the time Of
his appointment was an ardent and active poll
tician of the Jackson school.
Hon. Roger B. fancy, Chief Justice, a ma
tive of Maryland, was born OIL 81. Patiick's
Day, l777. He was a very bitter partisan
politician, so much so that the Senate rejected
his appointment as Secretary of the Treasury
also as Associate Justice but after the death
Of Chief Justice Marshall, he received the ap,
pointment Of Chief Justice, in March, 1886, and
was confirmed.
Hon. John Catron was born in Western
Virginia, but since his youth has been a resi-
dent of Tennessee. His age is sixiy-fve.-
He served one campaign under Gen. Jackson
Thus far all the incumbents of the present
Bench were appointed by Jackson.
Hon. Peter V. Daniel is a native of Virgin,
ia, and a descendant of one of the English fam,
lilies. He was born in 1856, and is conseq uent
y seventy-one years OF age. He was Offered
the post of Attorney General by Jackson, bu'
declined it. He was afterwards appointed Uni
ted States District Judge for Virginia, and np
on the death of Judge Barbour, was nomina
ted Associate Justice by Mr.. Van Buren,, il
1910.
Hon Samuel Nelson is a native of Coopers
town, N. Y, and was appointed by Mr.. Polk
in le45. He is about sixty-fve years of age
Hon, Robert c. Grier was horn in Cumber-
land county, Pennsylvania, March 9th, 1894
and is consequently a little over sixty-thre,
years of age. His life, previous to going up
on the Bench, was divided between the law anc
academic pursuits. He was appointed by Mr.
Polk, in August, 1850.
Hon. Benjamin r. Curtis Isl native of Mass
achusetis, born Nov. A, 1909, and is conse
quenily nearly forty-eieht years old. He new
er was a politician, but was taken by Mr.. Fill
more from the bar, and placed upon the Bench
in September, 1851.
Hon. John A Campbell was born in Alaba
ma, and was a lawyer of distinction in Mobile
lie was appointed to the Bench in 1853, b,
Gen. Pierce Ills age is dhy-lour years.

The UNITED STATES AND New GRENADA. The
New Grenadian government having refused to give
satisfaction for the outrages at Panama on the 10Th
and 10th of last April, apprehensions are enter
tanned that the measures adopted by that govern
ment to repel an anticipated attack upon the 18TH
mus, may lead to further collisions. The New
York Journal Of Commerce says:
"W learn from reliable sources at Bogota and
the lsthmus, that all prospect Of obtaining the re-
quired satisfaction from the Executive of New Gra-
NADIA, by conciliatory measures, is at an end, and
that in the view of the probable consequences of
their refusal, namely, the seizure of the Isthmus by
the United States. il is contemplated to send thith-
er a force of six hundred men; that the natives of
Panama are organizing themselves into armed COM
panies for the purpose of defense, and are endeay-
oring to incite the negro population of the suburbs
to join them; that they are daily employed in the
manufacture of ammunition, and have sent a re-
QUESTION to the Governor for lead; and that active
preparations are being made for calling out the
militia, and for impressing those who may be un-
willing to enter the ranks"

Views of the new Governor of Kansas and
Mr.. Buchanan.

From the Washington correspondent Of the New York Eve
ming POST
Gov. Walker still maintains the opinion en-
pressed in his published address to the people
Of Pennsylvania. shortly before president Blu
chanan's election, that a fair trial Of the prin-
ciples Of The organic act Of Kansas must make
it a free state. In this sentiment, also, | I'M
derstand, Mr.. Buchanan c%oncurs, and has avow-
ed with more than his usual explicitness, TO
some Of the more ultra southern politicians,
that the democratic party Of the North cannot
safely stand the continuance Of The violent pro-
slavery policy heretofore pursued in Kansas.
The president declares that it will do no good
TO the slaveholding section, and will utterly ru-
10 the northern wing Of the democracy, to at
tempt by violence to counteract The operation
Of those laws Of God and nature which must
ultimately make Kansas a free state. So Mr..
Buchanan's friends report him. But the re.
moval of Judge Lecompte would be a much
more satisfactory manifesto than any private
avowals of this character.
BY his own desire, Gov. Walkers commits
sion will not take effect Till the second Monday
in May. As, under the census and convention
act, passed by the late. Kansas ''leg %islsture,'
the list of legal voters for delegates TO the con
s:iic'ional convention will have been completed
by the n.a: Jay of April, the new governor will
be saved from the trouble of discriminating be
tween legal and illegal candidates for the RICH
of suffrage, and from various ugly responsible
ties which might devolve upon him while tn,
enumeration Of voters is taken. He will mere
ly be compelled 10 enforce the provisions of tn,
&C, on the third Monday in June-ihe day whcr
the sixty delegates to the constitutional conven
tion will be chosen. 1t will be interesting, af
ter that convention shall have formed a consti
tuition establishing slavery, which is 10 be sub
united to Congress, without the subsequent rat
or's testimony as to the fairness with which III
experiment of popular sovereignty was tried il
imposing that constitution on a people. three
fourths of whom, at least, are opposed 10 ii
adoption.

tina, the actual bona fde residents Of the terri
tory, by a fair and regular vote, unaffected by
fraud or violence, must be permitted in adopt

This is the great fundamental principle Of the

court of the United States and is in accordance
with the views uniformly entertained and ex-
pressed by me throughout my public GREER.

question by an appeal to the intelligence and
patriotism of the whole people of Kansas, who
should all participate freely and fully in this
decision, and by a majority of whose votes the
determination must be made, as the only prop.
