Judge CoLLANER wac a patriot in the full
est acceptance of the term. lie ardently
loved his country, and sought how be could
best advance her power and usefulness. TIE
murder of President LINCOLN greatly afflicted
him. and be took it very much to heart He
was deeply affected by it, and all who saw
him and heard his remarks at Mr.. LINcoLN's
funeral in this town, on the first day of June
last, will well remember the great difficulty
with which he restrained his feelings on
that mournful occasion.
With President LINCOLN, Judge CoLLANER
had. from the first OF mis- Presidency, been
on terms Of peculiar intimacy and friendship.
and in the affairs OF Stare, Mr.. LINCOLN
showed his great appreciation of the man by
often taking him into his most trusted coun-
ellis, and listening with interest to his sug-
gestions.
And it is noticeable fact that President
JOHNSON, within one week after he assumed
the Presidential Office, telegraphed to Judge
CoLLANER to come to Washington that he
might consult with him in the then existing
exIgency Of public affairs. Upon receiving
the dispatch he Immediately left for Wash
ington, stopping there about week and hav-
ing frequent consultations with the Presi-
dent.
This was the last time Judge CoLLAxER
ever went to Washington. Upon his return
home, 1t Is well known in what high estima-
tion he held President JOHNSON. He said no
one need have any fears OF the new Presi-
dent; that the country was perfectly safe in
his hands: that he would faithfully aud
iearlcssly carry out the principles of Presi-
dent LINCOLN and the republican party.
and that he was entitled to and should
receive the warm support of the entire re-
publican party, and Of every sincere lover Of
his county, oodstock Standard.

The u. :. SenatOrship.

The question concerning the temporary
succession TO the place left vacant by Judge
Collsmer' death. which has been settled by
Governor Dillingham; by the appointment of
Judge Poland, has been one of especial in
terest, not only from the intrinsic impor-
lance of the appointment, but from its real
or supposed connection with the choice OF
permanent successor by the next legislature
That the Governor has Judged wisely In de-
Gliding that he had the right to appoint, un-
der the peculiar circumstances, we do not
doubt. In reference to bis selection, while
none will deny Judge Polsnd's distinguished
ability, or doubt that he will fill the duties
of the position for the coming session with
dignity and credit, opinions will vary, with
the varying points of view from which it is
regarded.
1t is telling no news to Vermonters, at
home, to remark that the attention and pref
erences of the people, for the permanent
succession to Judge Collamer's seat, to which
it was understood he would decline
reelection had he lived, have of late
been centering about two prominent names
that of Judge Poland, and Hon. Justin S.
Morrill,. Doubtless the minds of many at once
turned TO those two as the men from whom
the Governor would make his selection for
the temporary appointment; and some may
consider this appointment not only as the
Governors choice between those two can |
didates, but as a virtual settlement of the |
question for both the short and long
terms to follow and to be filed by
the Legislature. Such suppositions would
both be erroneous. Mr.. Morrill, was not
candidate for the appointment His duties
to the District which he so ally represents,
to the House of Representatives, of which as
Chairman of the Ways and Means be will
be the leader. and to the country, would not
allow him to think of vacating his seat at
present, even for the higher one IN the Sem
ate, and he has steadily and properly refused
to allow his name to be presented for this
appointment. His name Withheld, Judge
Poland was doubtless the most prominent
and able of the men urged upon the Cover
nor, and from such a belief, and without an
Intention to take sides in the question which
S to come before the Legislature, the Cover.
,or has made bis appointment.
This temporary appointment, by all pre-
1ious usage, is no passport to the permanent
uccession. No previous Legislature has '
yer allowed the Governors selection to fore L
tall and determine its own. The next Le- j
islature, coming fresh from the people, will s
axe up the question independently, and on 1
Is own merits, and, we doubt not, will settle I
to the satisfaction of the People. 81

The New Judicial Appointments.

The appointment by the Governor Of Hon.
LUKE P. POLAND, of St. Johnsbury to be U
S. Senator in place of Hon. JACOB CoLLANER,
and his acceptance ofthe Office, has necessarily
led to new disposition ofthe Bench remain
ing, and the appointment of an Associate
Justice. The Governor has made the follow
ing appointments
Chief Justice-John Pierpoint, Vergennes.
First Associate Jusfiee-James Barrett,
Woodstock.
Second associate Justiee-Loyal c. Kellogg,
Rutland.
Third Associate Justice-Asahel Peck, Mont
pelier.
Fourth Associate Justice-Wm. c. Wilson,
Bakersfield.
Fifth associate JuStice-Benjamin II. Steele.
Derby.
Chief Justice Pierpoint is cminently fit for
the station he now succeeds to. Should he
be spared to occupy that position as long as
some of his predecessors did, we doubt not
hls lasting reputation will fall not whit be-
low that of the highest of them all. The
new Associate Justice, Mr.. STEELE, though
young, has already acquired high reputs'
ton as a lawyer in the northern part Of Tim
State. We hope he will add to it, as 4
judge.
