Hon. David Walker.

A correspondent of the Little Rock Dis
patch of the date of July 9Th under the sigma
ture of Simplex" speaks of this gentleman
in the following very highly complimentary
terms:
81 see in your issue of yesterday, an an
nouncement of the Hon. DAVID WALKER OF
Washington County is acandidate for the Sll-
premc Bench. Thank God for that! No an
nouncement lately has given the people of
this section so much qualification and pleas
ure. Judge W. lacks motor of the nccesSa-
ry qualifications for the position. 1t is to be
hoped therefore that he will receive such a
vote at the polls as will assure him that his
past services to the country are not forgotten
and at the same time evince determination
on the part of our people to secure the very
best talent possible for the Supreme Bench.
We all thank you, Dispatch. for your prompt
and manly endorsement of this great and
good man. In other and better days the pco-
pie learned to revere David Walker for all
those high qualities which adorn our nature ;
and they WILL now that they have the chance.
avail themselves of his splendid legal attain
ments and that sterling integrity which has
endeared him to them" 4ga ltd f. :

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT--W arc
|gratifled to believe that the constitutional
amendment cannot obtain the requisite two
thirds vote Of the States. 1t Is probable that
tho States of California, Connecticut. Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas. Maine, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, New York. Ohio. Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, Maryland and Delaware
will rstify it; possibly also Tennessee; but
even this would only give twenty votes,
whereas twenty-seven Is required. Besides
the President is opposed to it, and he will
doubtless influence Maryland and New Jersey
against It, and thus the amendment will re-
ceive only twenty-five instead Of twenty-sev-
en- votes! So mote It be-
