SATURDAY. NAY 8. 1858,


~. rpblish. this morning. the list Of Trial JUS
tiers which have been designated by the Gov
.rpor and Council, for this County and Middle
sex. It will be seen that only portion have as
vet been designated--l5 in this county, leaving
eleven vacancies to be filled hereafter, as circum
stances maysequire. We have already expressed
our opinion Of the Importance Of judicious Sc
lection tor this service and we know it must have
been matter Of serious consideration with the
Executive. On careful examination Of the list
we think there is good cause to be well satlshea
with it, as whole. There are two or three cases
where, If we could have our own choice, we should
have selected other individuals, but IN one az
least. OF these cases. we are informed that the
person, whose appointment would have been
most desirable, peremptorily declined to serve,
leaving no option to the Executive, bat to take
the next best candidate.
In making this selection, Gov. Banks has very
wisely and properly disregarded paslizan consid-
erations, and placed on the list the names OF
acme who differ widely in their political views
from himself and from the party which elected
him. This course is in striking contrast with
that Of the President, who, in his recent appoint-
men, Of Judge LOring, sacrificed fitness for the
office to the lowest Of party considerations.

WONDERFUL Turn IN THE TIDE OF
FoRTUNE.-Among the passengers in the Col
Inns steamer Pacific, which disappeared in
1856, were Jabez Barber, wife, and daughter,
of Chicago. Mr.. Barber possessed an extern
sive property there of some $500, 900 in value.
The steamers loss swept away his entire fam
lily, with the exception of one, little girl,
then an infant of three years, who was left in
Chicago during her parents European tour.
When all hopes of any tidings were abandon
ed, the probate court opened the will. By it
all this immense estate, apart from few pri-
vate bequests was left to the surviving child,
who thus became one of the largest direct
heiresses in the country In case of her death
it has to revert to the nearest of kin. A few
weeks since, this little one, who has never
enjoyed perfect health, was stricken by scar
let fever. Death terminated the child's suf-
ferlngs and threw into the lap of those who
never dreamed of being wealthy fortune of
solid value. The next of kin are three sisters
of MIR. Barber, who live at Simcoe, Canada
West. To these the will left two hundred
per annum. The ladies are at present in
straitened circumstances, but by this they
have come into possession of an estate, the
intrinsic value of which is now at least $780,
600.

A RARE PIECE OF GossIP.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Express relates
the particulars Of love affair. which has created
no little excitement in the diplomatic and fash.
ionable circles Of the national capital 1t appears
that an attache of the Spanish Embassy has long
been an ardent admrer of the only daughter of
retired banker Of Washington, but the prudent
father. not relshing the idea Of such an alliance
for his daughter, forbade th e Spanish cavalier his
house. The cavalier wrote the banker challenge,
hut could find no one to deliver it:
ssOn Tuesday night last, the banker was din
ing with Mr.. Slidell, who occupies the next house
to his own on Lafayette Square. While partak-
ing Of Mr. clidell's hospitality, his servant came
in and informed him that two persons were hang
ing about his house in a suspicious manner. The
banker, whom we will call Mr.. G., requested his
friend Senator Bright, who was of the party, to
accompany him, and proceeded with that gentle
man TO his own residence. AS he entered the
hail. he met his daughter in the hall, and pro-
ceeded TO the picture gallery, which was lighted
only by the hall lamp which shone through the
doorway, he found man snugly ensconced under
the piano forte Selling MIN by the collar, he
dragged him from his hiding place, and discover
ed him to be no less parsonage than the Span

Spaniard was armed with six barreled revolver,
which he took from him, and then kicked him
incontinently into the street. As he opened the
door for this purpose. he discovered another per-

Another letter in the same paper says that the
young lady, afraid that her lover would shoot her
father. took advantage of her fathers absence at
the dinner above mentioned, and requested him
by note to come and see her, for the purpose of
explanation. A challenge has since been sent

The GoUF.-Lord Chancellor Northington

heard to mutter, "lf had known that these

Earl Chatham was a martyr to govt in his
feet. To protect them they were swathed in
flannel and in socks made expressly to cover
the flannel. He wore shoes large enough to
cover this mass OF wrapping. One day his
residence at Hayes was broken into, and
among other things stolen were these shoes.
In the morning his valet in announcing the
robbery, said. "He has taken your shoes, my
Lord" "Whatl my equity shoes r. eyes,

Risks OF THE LIQUOR TRADR.-It is almost
universally admitted that grog-shops are nui.
sances, and that the law which so proclaims
them is just law. Those who doubt the
Justice Of absolute prohibition of the liquor
traffic, nevertheless rejoice to see the vile
groggeries cleaned out and exterminated
Hence there is general satisfaction with the
decision of Judge Shaw, which outlaws these
nulsances and gives them over 10 summary
destruction. We have no disposition to give
unnecessary pain to the men engaged in the
business, who seem to think that they can
get an honest living by violating the laws of
the State, but 1t is well for them to under
stand the extent of the liabilities under which
the Law places them. Not only can any per-
son smash their fixtures and destroy their
liquors, but they cannot collect debt for
liquor, and any of their customers who hap
pen to be hard up for cash-as such customers
are very apt to behave a perfect legal right
to enter their bars and help themselves to
what they like, and there is no remedy for it.
When a traffic is outlawed, as the unlicensed
liquor traffic is in this State, the liquor is not
legally property, and is without protection.
Anybody may take it, drink it, burn it, or
throw it away, and the owner must "grin and
bear it." 1t may seem to be hard case, but
such is the law, and those who go into the
business must understand the risks they run,
and take their chances, which, to tell the
truth, are getting to be exceedingly small.
We doubt whether the business can be made
to pay much longer Springfield Republican.
