SECOND EDITION.
THREE OUTLOOK p. M.
THU DISTRICT JUDICIARY.

THIS forenoon, tho Preaden-, we know, sent
20 the Senate the nominations OF the following
crrt!erscn 10 compose the u. 5. bench for this
Dstritt Viz Hon. ID. K. Carter of Ohio, G.
J., HOP. a. DIN OF ". Y, Hon. q. Y. Fisher OF
D.i., and Judge wylie OF our late Criminal
Court.
In making these appointments, il is evident
that be President IS inGuen ced by consider
sticrs growing for the most part out of the ano-
nialous condition Of the Districts affairs arts
ing from the war, for which The country Is in
d. bt,d TO secession. The nation at large never
had so deep stake in the affairs OF the Dis
trict of Columbia as a. this time, necessarily
far overshadowing any local considerations
whatever In the judgment of the Executive.
The country holds him responsible that the
administration of Justice here shall tend, past
peradventure, to conserve the Governments
hold upon the District and the Border States,
as the means OF ultimately compelling the obe-
dience of the reb-ilious States to the laws.
Under the existing condition Of affairs here,
therefore, il is by no means strange that in
making these appointments be should have
sought nominees known well to the whole
country having this momentous stake involved,
rather Than gentlemen Of this community, who,
however we'll known and confded in al home,
are unknown to the country in connection with
the troubles Of the times.
The gentlemen nominated, with the exception
of our fellow citizen, Judge Wyhe, have all
served In Congress, where the Interests of the
District never had warmer friends than they
were. Their competence is all that our public
could ask while, we may not inappropriately
add, they are all conservative.
Under these circumstances, we sincerely be-
Eeye their selection to be a subject of congrat-
uIation TO this community. Some OF our fell
low citizens would doubtless have preferred
others, personal grounds. But personal
considerations should not and could not safely
be permitted to inf uence the President action
in such a case.
1t is not to be expected that those not sim
cerely and thoroughly loyal at heart will ap-
prove this Executive action. But as that which
would please them would OF course tend 10 en-
danger the safety Of the STATE, Itmaters nothing
whether they are pleased or not.
Its to be presumed that the Senate will at
once confirm the nominations in question.
