For the Spectator
Election of Judge.


Messrs. Editors II propose to examine thi
judicial election question in its various phases
and extensive ramifcatlons, with elaborate re
search and profound ability. |, therefore, cal
upon ''all the world and the rest of mankind" t.
shear me for my cause and be silent that they
may hear"
But departing from the "natural order ir
which the different subjects appear to be sug
gested," by way of introduction to the subject
| propose showing how very small and unlmpor
tant matters do sometimes indicate, with uner.
ring certainty, in the Judgment of the observing
and thinking public, great and important e.
vents"
In illustration of this profound truth | may
quote the beautiful cOuplet:
.sTal oaks from little acorns grow,
Mighty rivers from small fountains flow"
Now. none but an s'observing and thinking
public" could discover in the small, brown, and
insignificant acorn the future 'goodly oak"
'With arms full strong and largely display'd."
And the unobserving never reflect, as they al
lay their thirst at cool and sparkling fountain,
that it is in such an insignificant source the
"father of waters finds his origin. This truth
is farther and mere teelingly illustrated in lines
even more familiar to your readers than those L
have quoted-viz:
"In Adams fall
We sinned ALL"
If any one demands another illustration OF this
truth | furnish it in the following facts from
English history: -,
Upon a festive occasion 10 the court OF that
warllke and renowned sovereign, Edward III,
the soft cncture that held to its place the stock
ing of one of the maids of honor, became unloos-
ed, (that was prior to the happy era OF gum elias
ties and an elective judiciaryO and fell IN d
graceful coil upon the floor 1t was instantly
and gallantly restored to its blushing owner, by
young courtier with the appropriate remark,
sevil to him who evil thinks" From this in
significant circumstance originated the highest
order of Knighthood in Great Britain: that OF
the "Garter."
Is there any analogy between this ciroum-
stance, thus believed to have toreshadowed this
great event, and now proven to have been its in
ddcstiop," and the presentation of the name OF
Mr.. Fultz, to this circuit as candidate for the
Jndgeshipa ut is believed that there is. and
now propose to examine" the matter thorough
ly. As this article is only PREDATORY, shall, at

MONDAY, JULY %, 1850.

Rv n telegram from Washington we have intel
I;oence of the death Of JOSEPH GALES, one of the
venerable firm Of GALES & SEAToN, editors of the
National Intelligencer. Mr.. GALES was in his
seventy-ffth year, having been born in Ecking
ham, England on the 10th day of April, 1856,
from which place he accompanied his father to
this country at the age of seven years He was
educated at the University of North Carolina,
went to Philadelphia to learn the art of print
ing and in 1907 settled in Washington rs
the assistant, and afterwards the partner,
of SAMUEL HARRISON SMITH, who, in 1900,
had removed the Independent GAZETTEER to
Washington, and changed its name to the
National Intellgencer. In 1910 Mr.. GALES De
came sole proprietor, and in 1872 took his oro'hef
in-law, Mr.. SEAToY, into partnership. IL was not
till 1912 that the paper became daily. 1t may
he n matter of interest 10 remember that the stald
and conservative Hteliigencer was in its youth a
very decided, and by the Federalists considered a
violent, INSCRIPTIONS and demagogical DEM
ocratic sheet 1t followed the fortunes of Adam:
and Clay, and was the steady but respectful oppo-
nent Of every recent Democratic administration, be-
ginning with that of jackson. There was time
however, when the National Inteliigencer wa:
deemed little better than an organ of sansculot
tism. As no man was better known or more gener
ally respected, all euogy of Mr. GALES would b.
out of place.

CONDITION OF THE UNITED STATES Treasury
The Washington Star says that the amount in the
treasury subject to draft at the close of last week
was four million three hundred thou sand dollars.
In the absence of means of obtaining money by
loan as authorized by the act of the last session.
the Treasury Department congratuates itself upon
receipts from customs considerably in excess of
those for the corresponding term of last year. The
treasury receipts may be sufficient to meet the
binary demands of the Government, while for some
of the extraordinary ones Congress must provide
means for defraying hereafter.
The Hon. William B. Lawrence, of Rhode Island,
who was invited by President Buchanan to repre-
sent the United States at Convention in London
of delegates from different European States, for
the purpose of establishing uniform weights and
measures and uniform currency was obliged to
decline the commission on account of his desire to
return home. The Boston Post states that the
Hon. R. c. Winthrop, at the suggestion of Mr..
Lawrence, has been appointed as the associate
of DR.. Longstreet, of South Carolina, in place of

Messrs. Editors: Please inform us, through YOUR
valuable journal, The EXCHANGE, at what price per-
sons can secure passage on the Great Eastern to
Cape May only, not to return by her to New York.
There are quite number aeslrous to avail them
ship from New York to Cape May, and oblige,
Yours, j. @. T. W.
[If our respected correspondent cannot find the
information he seeks among our advertisements,
the omission, we presume, must be owing to the
fact that the directors of the great ship do not
want any Baltimore money-otherwise they would
take the usual means of letting their rates be
known. We are sorry that it is not in our power
to oblige him.-ED.l

THE AUGUST ELEcrIoNs.-The Missouri election
takes place on the first Monday in August two weeks
from to-day. Four candidates for Governor are in
the feld-Republican, Constitutional Union, Breck-
inrdge and Douglas. The Republican State ticket
is made up for every Congressional district in the
State, thus showing that Repubicanism is not con-
fined to particular section but all interest in con-
nection with that party centres in St. Louis where
F. P Blair, Jr., is again candidate for Cong ress
The Republicans will not probably poll a large
vote for Governor, as many of them, it is said,
will vote for the Union candidate in hopes
to defeat Jackson, the Douglas candidate
The other States which hold their elections in Au-
gust are the following: On the LIST Monday, Ala
bama. Arkansas, Kentucky and Texas; lst Thurs
day. Tennessee I'd Thursday, North Carolina. All
the above States elect members of the Legislature
and Arkansas and North Carolina Governors in
addition. The only significance attached to the re-
suit in either is, that it will indicate the relative
strength of Bell, Douglas and Breckenridge.
