This distinguished jurist who has been
identified with the public history of Indi-
ana for the past half century, died at his
residence in Washington City ON Sunday
night, January Ist., in the 18th year Of his
age. The following facts are condeced
from the STATE Sentinel. Judge +. was a native
OF New Jersey, and graduate of Princeton
College. In the year 1901 he removed to
Lawrenceburgh, in this state, aud pursued
the study Of the law there and at Brookville,
until 1912, when he removed to Nincennes.
About that time he was, for short period,
Cashier Of the old Territorial Bank at We
way, and also edited newspaper ut Vim
ccnncs. In 1914 he married a Miss Nc
Donald, Of New Jersey, but the union prov
ing unhappy, they separated in a few years,
having only one son, who subsequently died
ut the age of years.
On the l4th Of September, 1914, he was
appointed by Gov. Gibson, Judge of the
first Circuit Court, which he held until the
oath of January, 1916. In that year. upon
the organization of the State Government,
lie was elected a Representative in the Leg
islature from Knox county, and upon the
organization of the first House of Represen-
tatives, he was elected its Speaker This
was the only legislative Office he ever filled.
On the 10th of September, 1917, be was
appointed one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court of Judicature. He continued in this
position, uninterruptedly, until the year
1855, period of thirty-five years. when he
was succeeded by Judge Perkins. Upon
the establishment of the Court of Claims in
1855, Judge Blacllford was voluntarily Sc
lected by President Pierce as one of its
Judges In this position he closed his long
and useful career
In 1925 he was the Democratic candidate
for Governor, but was beaten by his oppo-
nent, James b. Ray. In 1928 he was a
candidate for United States Senator, and
was beaten only one vote by Governor Hem
bricks. He was also defeated as a candi-
date for Representative in the Legislature
from Marion county in 1854.
In his reports OF the cases determined by
the Supreme Court of Indiana he has left
an enduring monument to his fame. His
decisions were written and rewritten until
they We're pruned of all extraneous matter
His Reports are authority every where. -
They have not only an American, but a
rans-Atlantic fame
Judge Blackford was extremely careful
and frugal in the management Of his finan-
ciat affairs, and accumulated an estate
valued at quarter of a million OF dollars.
What disposition he made of his property
is unknown. His remains will be taken to
Indianapolis for interment.

dampened somewhat the ardor of the new
COMPANIES chartered by the last Legislature.
The {" Safety, which had taken steps to
organize, has paid back the twenty per cent
subscription of its stockholders, and gives
its charter the go-by for the present at least;
the National" has not taken any steps
and will not, to organize; the " Union, -
however, having completed its organization,
will go on, but more cautiously than was
intended. Only the old Hartford and Etna
stocks are in demand at former prices, and
other stocks are falling off little. Until
after the annual reports of the Insurance De-
partment in January shall enable the New
York offices and the public to see how mat
tiers stand, it will be wise policy for Wall
street underwriters to confine themselves to
first rate risks at full rates, and curtail
office expenses in every practicable way.
No business is always preferable to losing
business.

carried on during the past year gigantic
system of sewer improvements, yet our or
ders are about at par and we have out
standing-above the amount of precepts due

amount of four or five hundred dollars
This showing is exceedingly creditabl' to
our city, its Mayor, aud the present Board
of Councimcn. We make this acAho"i-
edgment freely, inasmucb as we have, du-
ring the past year, taken exceptions to some
of their actions. When the present city
Government uent into Office the financial
departn,ont of the city was in tangled con-
dition; but the Mayor, who seems to take
to figures as naturally as a duck TO
water, speedily unIaveled the difficult
les and mt the termination of the Of
cial year will, we doubt not, present
to our citizens the most satisfactory
statement of how their affairs stand that
has ever yet been made. Everything has
been overhauled--old books, old accounts, old
contracts-and determined spirit mani
tested to reduce the expenses of the city to
the lowest figure. We thought, and still
think, the purchase of the steam engine an
unfortunate and mistaken policy; but, with
that exception, we believe the Mayor and
Council, at the termination of the year, will
meet with the appreciation of a majority of
our citizens When we consider the general
loose way the affairs of cities, counties,
States, and the General Government are
managed, we are surprised to see how well
we have come out in the past year, which
has been, financially, a very trying one.

Mr.. Memminger, the Commissioner from

Will be well to recur to frSt principles
At a meeting of the citizens of Loudoun
county, Virginia, held in 1850, ten years
ago the following resolution, among others
was passed:
" Resoired, That the people of the Uni
ted States have delegated to their public
functionaries SO much power as is necessary
to enable them to administer the existing
Governments which the people have estab-
lished, and M more; and they have reServ-
ed to themselves ercLuSirclY the power of de-
Gliding when and for what cauSe their in
stitutions shall be changed or sIbverted. -
This appears to us to be the true doctrine
We do not say that wrong is not 10 be
righted, and that intoIer;tbe oppression is
not TO be met with revolution, II gleccssarg
but the people have reserved to themselves,
and not given TO their members of Congress
or State Legislatures, the power to effect or
pave the way for that g last ofall remedies"

LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.


Judge Elisha NJ. Huntington has been
chosen to head the Democratic delegates at
large for this State to the Charleston Con-
vention. The Judge was formerly a Wing,
and while Commissioner of the General
Land Office, was nominated by President
Tyler to fill the vacancy on the Bench of
the United States District Court for Indiana,
occasioned by the death of Judge Holman.
We believe he conducted Wing paper at
Terre Haute for short time during Tyler
reign, and by being one of a small handful
of individuals who, when that individual
betrayed his party, adhered to Tyler's for
tunes, the Judge managed to secure very
comfortable life Office. Judge Huntington,
while possessing smooth and pleasant man.
ners, has no great amount of ability either
as politician or lawyer. We believe he is
regarded by the legal profession as being a
shallow jurist, of not sufficient profundity
to thoroughly understand and decide upon
intricate cases, although but little remark
has been made upon the matter, and not
withstanding he occasionally gets off pom
derous Fourth-of-July charge to the Grand
Jury upon the subject of the Fugitive Slave
Law, the preservation of the Union, and the
like.
1t is somewhat difficult to decide at pres
ent, what particular motive has induced the
Judge to creep forth from his nearly twenty
years political observation, and thus suddenly
to enter the arena of Democratic hucksters.
Possibly, the Judge is aware that a vacancy
On the Bench of the Supreme Court is like
ly to occur at any moment, and his anxiety
that a national man should be chosen to fill
the vacancy, has impelled him to step forth,
clothed in the majesty of his judicial ermine,
and with all his brilliant antecedents at his
back. We doubt not some glittering bauble
has presented itself, in his ambitious dreams
of the future, and he thinks that he can do
better in his old age, than by filling-to the
satisfaction of his countrymen-the office
of United States District Judge. Well, per-
haps ne may do better-we feel assured that
the State will not be the loser--by turning
his attention 10 some other channel. But
would it be amiss for him to resign his Office
before soiling his robes in the Stygian pool
of politics? The United States Judges are
appointed for life, expressly TO keep them
from mingling in politics, and to preserve
their minds unbiased, that they might rem
der righteous decisions. When they per-
vert the intention of the Fathers, and be-
come mouthing, narrow-minded, politicians,
the outrage upon the people is beyond ex-
preston. We complain of the fragrant evils
arising from an elective judiciary, but what
is this to the fact that the Judges Of our
higher courts-courts beyond which there is
10 appeal-are mingling with, and taking
an active part in, the Screenings and trick
cry of political conventions Is it not time
that the people should look sharply 70 this
matter2 Corrupt the judiciary, and the
liberties of the country are doomed.

E3S% There seems to have been some little
rivalry between Senator Douglas and Sena-
tor Bigler, on Monday, as to who should
have the honor of proposing n bill to pre-
vent fillibusters from our State, entering an
other in order to modest the inhabitants,
property, constitutions, ofsaid invaded State.
Mr. Douglas presented his proposition in the
form of resolutions of instruction to the
Committee on the Judiciary, requiring them
to report bill. Mr.. Bigler presented bill
ITSELF on the same subject which was refer
ed to a select Committee. Thus, it will be
seen Mr. Bigler, has the inside track
We are sorry to inform these gentlemen,
that all the political thunder, likely to be
made out of this movement, has already been
appropriate. A bill was introduced into
the Ohio Legislature last week, by Mr..
Harrison, Republican leader in the Senate,
to prevent the fitting out of any military
expedition in that State, against any other
State Mr. Harrison should have waited and
given the National men a chance to monop-
olize this precious bit ofpolitical " bunkum."
But is it not little singular, that people
have just seen the necessity for laws to pro-
tect our State from invasion, from another ?
We remember that Kansas was overrun two
or three different times by armed bands
from Missouri, though we never heard of any
move in Congress, towards the suppression
of such invasions? Indiana was invaded
by some Louisville police, and a man arrest
vet we never heard mention of any steps
being taken in Congress to prevent similar
outrages. We are glad to see that the at
tention of Hon. gentlemen has at last been
directed to this important matter, and hope
that an effectual law will be passed TO pre-
vent any such occurrences in the future.

naT In CHANGING over the proceedings of

RSFn In glancing over the proceedings of
a meeting of the Common Council of In
dianapolis, held OH Monday evening, we
notice the following item:
Mr.. Haughey, from Finance Committee,
reported the sale of 5000 in orders at eighty
cents on the dollar, to pay a judgment
against the city, and enclosing the Sheriff 5
receipt for the same.
At the same meeting, the City Clerk re-
ported the amount of orders outstanding on
the lst Of January to be $34, 597 SO. 1t
must be bungling fnanciering that depre-
ciates the orders of an enterprising, grow
ing city like indianapolis to eighty cents on
the dollar. The citizens of that place this
wear are not taxed for the SUPPORT of schools,
are exempt from railroad taxes, and yet
their orders are at an enormous discount.
With US, while we are supporting one of
the most magnificent school systems in the
Union, are paying, gradually, our portion
of the cost of the E. & G. Railroad, have

Bgy~ Mr.. Douglas is said to be greatly
elated with the victory of his friends in this
State, and now thinks he will yet triumph
over his enemies, and secure the Charleston
nomination.
On the other hand, the Southern Demo-
Gratis are bent on making an Issue on Squat

whole affair is likely to be a split like that of
1913.
