The JudgesIlip,

Last week, we heard of two probable cam
didates, whom we named. Since then, we
hear the name of E. F. Bingham, of Vim
ton county, prominently named. We have
long been intimately acquainted with him
and know him to be a gentleman, and o'
good talents.-IrOntOn Register.
Several other papers in the District have
made favorable mention Of Mr.. Bingham in
connection with the Judgeship. We are
bound to say that his election would give
very general satisfaction to the people oi
this region, among whom he stands deserved
ly high as citizen and as lawyer.
We learn, from private source, that
Judge Peck will not, probably, resign his
seat upon the Common Pleas Bench, unless
he shall be elected to the Bench of the Su-
.preme Court, in which case Gov. Chase will
have the pleasure Of appointing a man to
fill the vacancy. Of course, the Governor
will not be particular about the politics ol
his appointee, provided he be a Republican!

0F We conclude, to-day, the evidence in
the case Of the State VS.. L. Holland. There
may be, and doubtless are, some omissions
in the testimony material to the case on both
sides, caused by the hurry in which the notes
were taken. Our excuse for publishing the
testimony at all, at this juncture, is the very
general desire of the people to have a full
exposition and cur duty as a Journalists To
give it. After so much had been said in our
paper, we could not, with any show of JUS
tice, let slip the opportunity Of placing on
record the sworn testimony of the witnesses
in legal investigation; and this testimony
is the only reply we shall make to anything
(which has been said heretofore.

The Fishing Counties.

For more than sixty years, the cod-fshing Yankees have been receiving bounty from the general government under the sham pretext that to encourage the fisheries was to breed up race of seamen which could not be otherwise procured. They have already received over twelve millions of dollars, of which the State of Massachusetts alone received over six mil lions. Cod-fshing is of itself profitable busl- ness, and would rcuumerate those engaged in it without any bounty.
 Senator Clay of Alabama has introduced a bi.l for the repeal of these b,uutes, which we hope will pass. Why should New Englanders be paid bounty for catching fish and all Ar kansian not to be paid for shooting deer or bears? If the one makes a sailor the other makes a markSman and trains him for d soldier The principal disbursements of government are made at the north; millions upon millions being annually spent on their harbors, factories and ship yards. Not content with their gain from the tariff, they contend for bounties on their profitable labor, and on the other hand grudg- ingly appropriate few thousand for any great southern work, SUI h, for instance, as the rcinov- al of the raft in Red river
 It IS time that we cease to pay such direct tribute. If Yankeedom chooses to catch fish let them do so, but not require of us to pay them bounty on each fish caught. MT. Clay's bill is just one, and we hope to see it urged and passed.

And his long Roman nose could almost repose
It's. head On his Hray-besred chin; "
And with fingers long, rs the hours stole on,
Keeping timewith the eelock's dulistick,
He gathered the type with weary click,

For many long years, through joys and through

So ghostly and .lsaaes night and morn had been
Earnestly bent Ger his ease:

CATSPAWS,

The little, ugly, lean Greek hunchback
Esop has taught more wisdom during the
past seventy or eighty generations than any
other mere man that ever lived. He put
words of wisdom into tho mouths of animals.
He told stories of brutes, captivating to
childhood, youth and age, embodying deep
philosophy-practical wisdom for every day
use-knowledge of human nature coined for
the market and the fair-proverbs engraved
in the ehild's memory for the use and, gui-
dance of the future uan-prudence made
easy-wisdom practicalized.
Who does not know the story of the mon
key, the cat and the chesnuts Who does
not remember how the greedy monkey burn
ed the paws of the silly cat to enjoy his roast
chesnuts uuharmed? A cart-load of treati.
ses on philosophy, mental and moral, could
not depict the nature of the cowardly, the
cunning and the Inscriptions, better than
it is done in this little fb or fable familiar
to every child. Everybody knows we'll e.
nough what it is to be catspaw-to suffer
in order that others may enjoy the objects
of vicious avarics or an unscrupulous am
bitiou.
Catspawism has become Z science. Nc
sooner does mean man or set of mean men
desire. what they have not the courage and
maliness to seek openly, boldly and in per-
SOD, than they cast about for some innocent
cats, whose paws are to be burned to crafty
their greedy lust for cash, Office or influence
The cats climb the political trees and beat of
the rich fruits of Office i; the monkeys sit on
the ground and quietly devour them. The
genuine catspaw is usually noisy, frank
bold dashiug and honest gentleman, who if
thrust head-foremost into the fire Of public
opinion, while the monkeys sit quietly in
their couuting.rooms awaiting the result o.
the experiment. The least the catspaw does
is to risk fame and life for the benefit of BIZ
advisers-the most the old-fogy monkeys con
descend to do is to furnish little money or
urgent persuasion, with the express provist
that their names shall in no event be made
to appear.
