R@rIster. in h n nkrupfcy.

Under the Bankrupt Law there are to
4. two hundred and thirty registers ap-
,oir,ed, and for these positions over
,',r,n thousand applications have been
,-rt in. Some of the Radical papers
nro,p,S 10 believe. that Chief Justice
CHASE is annoyed at the responsibility
of selection which is pow imposed upon
him. This is not good nonsense. Con-
rary to every precedent, it was taken
away from the District judges, whose
appoinfment it should properly have
Lrrn. and given to the Chief Justice for
no other than political purposes. 1t
NAV he that he is fearful of alien
atlug more friends than he can
secure in the exercise of his authority,
and in this view he maybe reluctant to
appoint, but the idea that he shrinks
from the duty because of the response
b.lity is simply absurd. Modesty is a
rrait unknown in the Radical charac-
irr. A man cannot he genuine Rad
zeal without the sublimest possible con-
hdence in his ability to do all things,
aud ill all stations, even to the regency
of creation, should the throne thereof
become vacant. Delicacy is not char
scteristic of the Radical stomach; it's
gorge never rises. One might as well
attempt to surfeit rat-hole with whis-
ky punch, fatten a hy-up-the-creek on
fshing worms, stop mp the Mammoth
