tVAs skO - = OASA VALID - 84IAs
The President has appointed Colonel
Caldwell Judge Of the Districs Court oi
tie United States for the State Of Ar
kansas. The appointment was made as
the instance of Gov. Murphy and the
loyal Union men of Arkansas, and will,
doubtless, receive the hearty Enforcement
of the Senate BY unanimous vote Of
confirmation.
In our own State, and indeed wherever
Col. Caldwell is known, there will be
but one opinion, that Of unqualified and
enthusiastic approval Of the appointment,
as the right man in the right place. Col.
Caldwell is frank, brave, earnest man,
true patriot aud = gallant soldier, who
has made for himself an imperishable re-
cord during the pending great struggle
for the preservation Of the Union and the
liberties handed down to us by our Revo-
lutionary forefathers. But the meriss
and qualifications of Col. Caldwell are
even greater IS . civilian than soldier.
A comparatively young man be has bsen
acknowledged for years as one amongst
the foremost lawyers of our State, and
has had more extensive practice at the
Bar than any lawyer of his age ia Iowa.
Asa politician he has enjoyed un-
bounded popularity, for the people always
recognized leader in him, and rallied
around him by natural instinct. He has
represented his constituents in the Leg
islalure, and. young as he vas, the lead
srship of the Union party Of that body was
freely conceded to him. In fne there is
not more promising or popular man
in our State, and the only drawback to
the general satisfaction which will be ex.
perienced at the announcement Of his ar
pointment is the fact that Iowa will lose
one Of her nobIest sons. But our loss
will be the gain Of the loyal Union men
of Arkansas, whose need 10 far greater
than ours.
We commend Judge Caldwell to our
friends in the Free Stale Of Arkassas a.
An upright. able and fearless man.
sound lawyer, and . citizen devoted with
unswerving constancy to the great prir.
ciples Of liberty enunciated in the Decla.
ration of Independence and to the Union
of the States under the Government
founded by our fathers.
