The Supreme Court.

In our approaching election Judge Of the Supreme
Court will be among the most important of our local
officers to be chosen. 1t is said that Tammany has
fixed IT,; but, II the books are still open, we are
assured from various quarters that the renomina-
ton Of Judge Cerke would command not only the
unbroken vote OF tho democracy, but many
supporters from the other side Indeed from all
that we can learn, the only difficulty with Judge
Clerke Is that Tammany Is under some pledges OF
case OF dispenser OF justice who Ia the public esti
nation Ia perfectly satisfactory. Some thing should
be yielded from party tactics In such case in
behalf Of public opinion.

THE NATIONAL GAME
Atlantic VI. NarionnI.

Atlantic vs.. N0tlOnuI.
The Nationals, Of washington, proftine by the
friendly hints given them IN the HERALD OF Wednes-
day. played against the Atlantics yesterday with
much more ste adiness than they formerly exhibited,
and the result was brilliant and quickly PLAYED
game. BY reference to the score 1t win be that
up to the close OF tue seventh inning the game was
close and consequently exciting. Either party was
and yet not sure Of victory, but In the eighth
inning the Atlantics got into good batting streak
and then, after disposing OF the washfngtonans for
nothing kept up the hitting In the last inning In
surfing to themselves the victory. There were but
six credited to the Nationals and three to the
Atlantics. IL nay be judged, therefore, that all
hands played remarkably well, and In such case II
would be lnvidious TO particuarze.
The score OF the game 10 az f0llows:-

The fire at Kennebunk, as general account
appeared in our columns Saturday, commenced
in the Mousam House stable, and must have
been the work of an incendiary as the premises
was not occupied. The fire was discovered at
about quarter before ten o'clock Friday eve
ming, and soon communicated to a store said to
have been occupied as a retail grog shop
and occupied by Junkins and Goodwin. The
Mousam House caught next and burnt with
great rapidity. This was owned by Sam'l Clark
and Fuller Curtis, and had been unoceupied
for several years. 1t was insured for $500 in
the Saco Mutual Fire Insurance Company,
which win nearly cover the loss. The brick
block adjoining the Mousam House, and in
tact part OF the same building, went next -
This building was owned by Nathan Dane, jr.,
and insured for $500 in the same company. -
The loss to Mr. Dane must be several thousand
dollars. One of the stores upon the ground
fsor was occupied by him as a country store,
but he succeeded in removing a large portion
OF his goods without damage. Another store
was occupied by l.. X. g. j. Wells as a milin-
cry store. The damage to the fine stock of
goods in this establishment caused mostly by
removal is considerable The second story was
occupied by the Ocean National Bank, and
the law firm of Dane and Bourne The latter
lost portion of their law library, but succeed
ed in removing the greater part thereof to-
gether with valuable papers. All the valua-
bles were taken from the bank safe, and the
furniture and other things except the safe be-
longing to the bank were removed in safety be-
fore the flames reached the room. The hall in
the third story was.occupied by .Salus Lodge

was saved. l---.a..s ..... .'......I-

MR.. EDIToR,-In your article referring to
the Echo, we find the following paragraph:
He also formally withdraws the patronage
OF the Grand Lodge from the Echo and also
that OF the Association at whose request he
undertook the editorial charge OF the temper
ance department of that paper. s....r
whether the above is true SO far as the
Grand Lodge is concerned remains to be de.
termined by its future action; but as to the
Association" it is not true. At meeting in
October of the association then publishing the
Echo, it was found that the members were d.
vided as to the future course of the paper,
therefore the association was dissolved. A
new association has since been formed, Ia ma
jority of the members of which were in the
former association,) for the purpose Of publish
ing the paper as announced in its prospectus
for 1870, an extract from which is given below.
By publishing this note and extract, you will
greatly oblige the managers of the paper; and
also let the friends of Temperance, who may
not be readers of the Echo, know the true DO
sition and policy OF the paper ...
"We wish especially that its friends should
fully understand the position which the Echo
1t will be faithful to its past history in the ad-
vocacy of all the advanced measures that may
commend themselves to the tried friends and
advocates of this great reform. 1t will not
hereafter commit itself to any entangling al
liances or become the organ of any political
party. eve think all will agree with us that
this is the best position for paper of the char
acter of the Echo to occupy, since it will be re-
ceiyed and possibly become welcome and
useful visitor in many homes from which it
would be excluded it committed to a political
party 1t will advocate measures and discuss
principles as an advanced, yet Independent
Temperance and Family Journal; and in all the
important public questions that concern the
welfare OF the family, community or State, it
will claim and exercise the right Of private
judgment and public criticism. gre .

THE MEETING OF CoNGRRss.-Afler a
longer recess than has been known since the
ante-Johnsonian period, Congress assemblies
again to-day. Before the close of the session
1t IL not improbable that all the vacant seats
Will be hlled, and for the first time since the
gloomy spring of 1851 all the States represent
ed. The forty-frst Congress will be famous
Tor this, If for nothing more
But probably it will be distinguished on
other grounds. During the short time it was
in session last spring it developed some very
good traits, and the increase of its numbers
by the admission Of the recently elected mem.
bers from Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
and those elected last fall from Alabama, will
not let us hope, change its character very
mach ior the worse. Among the praisewor-
tny tendencies disclosed last spring was a
marked Discrimination to grant railroad and
other subsidies. This may have been owing
to a kind of sympathetic feeling with the rigid
economical principles of the new Executive
1t it was, it is to be hoped that the same be-
nign influence may still govern it, and that it
may be distinguished as the most wisely eco
nomlcal legislative body that ever assembled
Ii at is also distinguished as the Congress that
provided for the resumption of specie pay
ments, the restoration of the shipping inter
est, the publication of the civil service, the
abolition of the franking privilege and mile
age, so much the better. We shall lay the
Presidents message before our readers to
morrow, when they will learn what he think.
is best for Congress to do.

A CARNIVAL OF CRIME.-The accomplished
thieves and burglars in New York are upon
their mettle, and the robbers harvest season
appears to have just set in. The highway rob-
berry in Pine street Wednesday was an aston
ishing occurrence, not because robberies are
unusual there, but it is seldom thief is so
bold as to assault and rifle a victim in broad
daylight, almost in Broadway. About the same
hour pretended purchaser of diamonds stole
thousand dollar set of ladies' earrings in
Maiden lane.
At six in the evening the private residence Of
Mr.. JOurdan on Madison avenue was entered
by thieves, who succeeded in stealing $1,000
worth of property. .
In Sixth avenue a dry goods merchant was
robbed of $500 worth of goods before dark. The
residence of Henry G. Thompson in East 34th
street was also entered and robbed of valuabes
amounting to $1680.
Shortly after dark a gentleman named Field
ing, while proceeding through the most public
portion of East 14th street, was knocked down
and robbed by highwaymen.
