men as follows: aasfs
It Is very Unusual for 60 large pros
portion Of Congressional delegation
to retire at the same time. It is also
very unusual for so small = delega-
ton TO acquire so much influence.
An intelligent enumeration Of the
prominent members Of Congress
would include the n;smcs of@Nvilson,
Price, and Allison--one helf the To-
wa delegation.
TIL: TIL: j. not mere matter Of State
pride. 1t is one III which the State
has vital interest in a practical point
Of view. Measures frequently come
up in which . State, as such, has :
geeat Interest. II all the delegation
arc men unskilled in the ways Of Con-
grcssional proceedings, there will BE
imminent danger that the interest in
question will suffer. Mr.. Wilson's
successor and the successor Of Genral
Dodge are men who will eventually
rank high among their fellow Con.
gressmen, but during their first term,
they will be apprentices.
There is one district which we trus,
will not make change And thst is the
Third. Mr.. ALLISON. We understand,
docs not desire denomination, but
he would not probably decline it, and
the district should, in Justice to itsell
and to the State, return him. He can
rot be spared AS member Of the
Ways and Means Committee. he has
proved himself pre- cminently fitted
for the trust reposed in him. We have
watched his course carefully. and
know that he has no superior on tina,
committee either 10 point OF ability Of
influence. II is nc disparagoment to
his colleagues to say that his retire
ment would be 4 greater misfortune
to the country and his State than that
Of any Of them, for he applied himself
to the hard work Of his committee,
with unequaled assiduity, and his sin.
gleness of purpose has made him
almost Indispensable. t
We believe his constituents will
show their appreciation Of these and
kindred considerations by re-nominat.
ing and electing him by an oyerwhelm
ing majority.

ing ought to have been granted to those
interested. They further state that the bin

imposed viii leave the market the control OF the
Lake Superior smelling companies and leave them
masters of the whole field. The memoralists further
set forh:-"We cannot compete with the English in
the building OF iron vessels because the material
and labor are more expensive here than there. In
wooden ships, copper fastened and shearhed we
have been the successful rivals OF that great mari
time power. IT is proposed to lessen our chance OF
successful competition by increasing enormously the
cost OF fine copper. There Is not a shipbuilder a
brassfounder, brassworker, b0ilermaker nor any
employment into which the use OF copper enters
which would not be forced TO submit to its proper
ton of this extravagant bounty. The very copper
coin or the government would pay Its tribute to
these Cesars while, at the same time, the revenue
OF the country would diminish by the cessation OF
all imports OF foreign copper ores. IL II Is thought
that the copper ores and manufactures OF the coun-
try require some protection and stmulant let all be
protected alike. Let those domestic mines the ores
OF which cannot be worked without the addition of
foreign ores, be protected Also"

Yesterday morning the much regretted announce
ment was made Of the death, on Friday, or Chief
Justice Anthony l.. Robertson, Of the Superior Court
OF the city of New York. Pending the transaction OF
regular Special Term business before this branch OF
the court this morning,
Richard O'Gorman, Counsel to the Corporation,
rose and, addressing the court, said that it with
deep regret he felt called upon to aude to the
OF the demise OF the Chief Justice, whose eminent
worth as citizen and ability uris all felt bound
torecognize. lie then eulogzed briefly the character
and reputation Of the deceased both in private
and official capacities, and in closing moved that
mark OF esteem for his many distinguishing quail
ties and tribute OF merited respect TO his memory
the court do now adjourn.
Ira Shafer seconded the motion in few appro-
pirate remarks, and
Judge Jones' i'll granting the application directed
that the court be adjourned until Tuesday next.
The decease OF Justice Robertson has not been
altogether unlocked for during the past two three
days, and yesterday information sent to the
court that he was not expected survive the night
His death resulted from pneumonia OF acute type,
and he had been confined TO his residence less than
week when he died. The disorder is stated, and
with great probability OF accuracy, to have been
superinduced by o severe cold caught while attend
ing to his Judicial duties in the court room in which
tins motion for adjournment was made. The apart

the press and pulpit against the bench but the suf-
fering public who had been cheated by these gam
bers, might well wonder that justice had
no whip with which to lash them. The
pleadings were eloquent OF the nature of
these transactions. This suit was brought, purged
and clear OF all connection with the gamblers OF the
street, by man who had large amount OF the
stock. 1t was time that this Augean stable should
