Judge OF the Supreme Court.

Our Republican contemporaries in the

are canvassing the merits and Claims OF
candidates for the seat on the Supreme
Bench soon to be vacated by Chief Justice
Woodward. Among the names presented
we notice Judge Pearson, of Dauphin,
Judge Williams, Of egheny, Judge Linn,
of Center, and Judge Williams, Of TIoga.
These are all good men; bat as only one
can be preferred at last it becomes necess

notice them.-The first clause provides for
a general forfeiture of al public lands in

the seizure Of property deemed forfeited
under the act ofJuly 17th, 1862, the third
clause for the appointment Of a commission
to condemn property, the fourth for the dis
tribution of lands to emancipated negroes
the fifth for the "erection of buildings on
the said homesteads for the use of said
blacks" the sixth providing whose proper
