The SUPREME CorRr.-The Davenport
Gazette has this notice Of the Supreme Court
and OF Judges Lowe and Beck:
The October term Of the Supreme Court
closed on Friday. On Saturday Justices
Lowe and Wright returned to their homes;
the former to Des Moines, the latter to Keo-
kuk. Justice Cole left for his home at Des
Moines the day before. Capt. Charlie Lin
derman, the efficient and obliging Clelk Of
the Court, remained on Saturday to close up
the docket, &c, and leaves for Des Mones
this morning.
The term thus closed will be the last had
at Davenport this year. The December
term will open at Des Moines, on the FRS,
Monday in that month. and must be adj
journed before or by the first Of January,
when Chief Justice Lowe retires and Hon.
]. Il. Beck of Fort Madison, will take his
seat on the Supreme Bench.
By the retirement Of Justice Lowe our es.
teemed fellow citizen, Hon. John +. Dillon,
becomes Chief Justice.
The retirement of SO upright and faithful
q Judge IS Mr.. Justice Lowe has proven
himself to be, will be an occasion Of sad in.

more sincerely in sympathy with the people,
none more warmly interested in the advance

1t is gratifying to know that Judge Lowe
will be succeeded by gentleman of ac-

of usullied honor as q citizen. In Judge
Beck the Supreme Bench of our State will
find valued addition to the dignity, learning
and integrity by which that body has been

the State have cause for generalization tha.

Justices Lowe, Wright, Dillon, aud Cole have
