ent very correctly assumes that the Democratic

Judge Warren T. Sexton.

The Quincy Union of last week, in announc
ing the name Of the Bon. Warren T. Sexton,
Judge of the Second Judicial District, rs g
candidate for the Supreme Bench. to fill the
vacancy soon TO occur by the expiration Of the
term Of Judge SandersoD, after speaking of the
announcement of the names Of Judge Ssnderson
and Judge Broekway by the papers below.
very correctly states that Judge Sexton is al
able jurist and a scrupulously honest man, emf
nently qualified to Gil that position, and asks
who will second that motion? We unhesiiat-
ingly second it, not only because be is, 10 our
opinion, as well qualified for the position as
either Of he candidates announced, but also
because the whole Bench, as it now stands, or
would be did either Sanderson or Brockway
receive the nomination, is made up of gentle
men from the lower and middle portion Of the
State, leaving the North entirely unrepreseoted
in the Judiciary of the State.
Now, we claim as right belonging to the
North, representation on the Supreme Bench,
which should be conceded to US, particularly
when We can aud do present gentleman for
that position equally as well qualified for it, in
any point of view, as those brought forward By
that section OF the State already monopolizing
the full Bench. We say the right belongs to
the North, and let them but stand steadfast by
that right. and those political wire-workers who
are attempting to gobble up everything, both
State and National, will eventually concede
some of the rights of the North

The Victoria (Vancouver's Islaudl Colonist

The Victoria (vancouver's Islaudl Colonit
an English paper, advises the rebels to lay
down their arms and submit. 1t says:
At no time since the first Federal defeat at
Bull Run, has the North been more ready to
make terms with the South. 1t is sated with
war and satisfied with victory. On the other
hand, the Confederacy has nothing before it
but further ruin and further bloodshed. Its
cause is perfectly hopeless. Every day, 1t is
obliged to consign gunbosts to the bottom, or
cotton to the flames. In the evacution Of
Charleston upwards of 10000 bales of the
latter commodity was destroyed-a loss amount
ing to something in the vicinity of $50, 100000.
All this continued destruction Of property and
wasteful loss of life is sickening even to the
casual reader Yet one word would stay the
progress of the horrors-and the South will
have TO speak it. Mr.. Lincoln has distinctly
declared that slavery must be abolished, and
that the South will be forgiven if she only
returns to Der allegiance. That we shall shortly
hear, despite all the peace failures, OF amicable
terms having been arranged between the con-
flicting parties TO this effect, we have not the
slightest doubt. The Confederates have now
everything to gain by approaching the w ash
ington authorities. They can stay the carnage
and save what property, outside the slaves, is
left Let them, however, continue obstinate,
and every day will make their position worse
and worse. We express the hope again, that
we hazarded before that, as Lincolns first
inauguration saw the civil war commence, his
second may witness its final close.

The legal hope is at length realized. The

General Grant has carried the siege of Rich

and defeated each and every one of the strategic
combinations and desperate maneuvers OF Gen.
Lee, the ablest of the rebel commanders. The
command Of the Union armies in the field was
conferred upon Grant, March 18th. 1864; on
the Sd of May following the Army of the Po-

to subserve the end in view-the capture OF the

Among the many topics of local interest in

general feeling Is that OF indignation, that meO

be guilty of such acts Of brutality as are daily

idence of the most convincing character and
also that the two mates secreted themselves,

The officers of this ship seemed to think that
with authority to command they were invested
with full right to bruise and beat those who
were so unfortunate as to be temporarily under
their control. At the first glance, it would
seem that men would take their defence into
their own hands, but when We consider the
small chance for bearing that poor Jack has
upon trial for muiny, aud how easily an off
Ger can make bis own side appear The bright
side, we cease to wonder at their seeming want
OF spirit. And these officers plead ignorance
as q mitigating circumstance, and one also that
be is the son OF minister, as though that
should be 40 excuse sure his good father
could not have taught him to profane both God
and man by such acts as making one of the
crew whom be has just beaten in the most bru-
tai manner, kneel and give thanks that be was
on the Great Republic. So far, justice seems
to prevail, and conviction has followed, al
though the public were somewhat astonished
