IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT.
Judge GrIer, Of PENNSYLVANIA, About Ia
Retire.

RETIRE.
From the Albany Evening Journal, August 27.J
The rumors which have been in circulation tnat
Justice Grer intends to retire from his seat upon the
bench of the Supreme Court assume definite form,
and are evidently given with his sanction. This step
is prompted by the growing in6rmties Of age and
served during the ordinary lifetime OF healthy man
In his Official capacity, and IL well entitled TO
the respite he desires. He Is now IN his seventy
sixth year. Ii Is understood his withdrawal VIII
take place In March, under the law which enables
Supreme Court Judges more than seventy years OF
age to retire upon n salary.
Justice Grier got his appointment from demo-
cratic administration ana had until late years acted
with the democratic party. But Its dlsloyal ATTITUDE
previous to and during the rebellion and It's assaults
upon the government caused q decided change In
his sentiments and led him, so far as was proper or
one in his capacity, to seek new associations. He
ardenty supported the policy OF the FEDERAL ADMIN
istraOn ana OF Congress for preserving the UNION,
and OF his opinions upon constitutional ques.
lions submitted TO the court are marked by logical
ability and exhaustive knowledge which certainly
do not show the advance or age.
Considerable interest attaches to the question: VINO
will be Justice Grier's successor. Many able lawyers,
Of national reputation, are talked OF in connection
with the appointment. None are more capable or
deserving than Attorney General HOar. His remark
experience and his relations to the administration
seem to indicate that his chances are among the
best. Indeed he II a2id to have entered the Cabinet
with some sort OF understanding that no should
ultimately be transferred to the bench. MIR. Lincoln
put one OF his secretaries In the court; but he proves
crmine to interfere with his manguvrIngs for ONCE
ut the hands OF the people. Should Attorney General
IIoar be made judge, there Is no danger that he
would similarly dIscredit his high position.

The trustees Of the Old Soldiers Home, one Of the
most admirably managed institutions in the coun.
try, have now under consideration PROJECT for

thing else to contrast with the great number OF
monsosites Congress has had imposed on 1t by pre-
tenders and at prices which seem almost fabulous.
1t Ia somewhat surprising that the trustees OF the
Home should have delayed this work 30 long. The
idea OF building this Home for the OLD soldiers 1t
Will DO remembered, originated with General scsft
who was its father ana founder. During our war
with Mexico, and when we were about TO storm one
Of the enemy's cities, Santa Anna sent In nag OF
truce asking time to arrange the terms of an
armistice. II was found, however, that he had
used the time granted him to further strengthen
his POSITION the result Of tho battle which followed
being much more severe loss of life on our side
Than would have occurred had we refused to grant
Santa Annals request For this piece OF treachery
General Scott, when he entered the city, levied q
contribution OF 100000, In silver, which he remit
ted to Washington with the recommendation that IL
be devoted 10 building home for old soldiers Of the
regular army. On returning to this country the old
General drew up plan Of the institution he designed
.0nd also bylaws for It's goyernmenf. which were
adopted. The conception was beautiful tribute
of ayecfion for the old soldier who had served his
country faithfully, and the design mas been admra.

Another discrepancy !

Mayor WALKERS Report contains,
as an item Of expenditure during the
past eleven months:
T. & g. Railroad 800
Now, what does that mean? An
examination OF his report of the in
debtedness of the city shows that on
Bonds outstanding issued to the E.
Il G. Railroad. there is due 1913, 900
Ex-Mayor BAKER reported the same
amount due April 9Th, when Mayor
WALKER took possession. Hence
none Of the Bonds were paid during
the year. The interest on these bonds
is seven per cent. per annum, amount
ing on the $4,000, to S2,3l0 per yea.
The difference between the amount
reported paid and the amount actu-
ally paid is $500. Now we most re-
specially ask what was done with
this FIVE THOUSAND SIX. HUNDRED
DOLLARS? Will the Mayor be kind
enough to explain?

The New York Tammany ring has
devised a scheme for breaking up the
comron school system of that city by
handing over their funds to the Dem
Ocratic politicians and the Roman
Catholic advocates Of the sectarian
parish school system. A bill has
been presented to the legislature pro
vidjng for the electioa Of twelve Com
mon School Commissioners on sepa-
rate general ticket, only seven, how
ever, TO be on any one ticket. The
seven persons having the largest num-
Der Of votes shall be declared elected,
and the Mayor shall alterward APP
point as additional Commissioners the
tive other persons receiving the next
largest number Of votes. These are
all to hold Office for three years, aud
the school fund, amounting to So 900,
00O. Is to be managed by them. Al
who know the character of the dOml-
nant party in New York, and that
two thirds of the Offices In the city
are now filled by Roman Catholics
will see what is the design of the
measure. Whether or not it becomes
law is another question.
We guess that bill will not gel
through the New York Legislature
Its introduction, however, shows what
would be done under certain circum
stances. The people cannot be toe
watchful over their public school In

The ROCKFORD, Rock ISLAND & ST.
LOUIS RAlLRoAD.-The Alton Telegraph con
tains quite lengthy article in regard to
the Rockford, Rock Island & st. Louis road
and goes to some trouble to point out why
the road should stop at that city. 1t says
In our opinion the company cannot afford
to pass around Alton instead of hrouqh it.
1t is larger and Weather city than Rock
Island or Rockford, and does far heavier
business than either of them, especially in
the way of shipments 1t is of more i'm.
portance, In business point of view, than
any place on the line, excepting St. Louis.
10 go through this place, via Hopp Hollow,
the road would need to pass directly south
from Rhoad's Point, and though more grad
ing would be necessary, the route to St.
Louis would be shorter than any of the 9th.
ers now proposed. BY this route the com.
pany would gain access to the exhaustless
stone quarries which line the bluff, and
would command an immense lime trade.
road between here and Grafton is chartered
and will doubtless soon be built, which
would give the Rock Island road access to
the Grafton quarries, the most valuable in
the west. If the ST. Charles road is built.
(which Pres. orriek says is certain) the
Rock Island road, by passing through this
place, would gain important western con.
nections. But this is of small Importance
compared with the advantage to the road
from the large business it would secure bv |
running through this point. The freight on |
rock shipments alone would more than ont.
balance in single year all the local sub.
scriptons from Rhoad's Point 10 St Lon;s
BY any of the proposed routes passing around
this city. Besides, the shipments from this
place would yearly increase in magnitude,
while the local subscriptions proposed by
other places would be paid but once.
1t will thus be seen that the mater ia Of
importance and the company should give it
attention. The road is vet to be located
from Rhoad's Point to St. Lou;s, Rhoad's
Point is sbou. twenty. 6ve miles directly
north Of Alton.
