The Circuit Judges.

In pursuance of an act of Congress passed
at The last session it will be the duty Of the
President. after the 1st inst. yesterday. )
{" appoint Circuit Judge for each of the
nine circuits into which tho United States
are divided. The duty which this law has
dsvolved on the President is a responsible
and most important one. for the reason that
if mistake should be made in an ordinary
executive appointment. it can be promptly
changed, while blunder in a judicial ap
pontment, like the laws cf the Medes and
Persians. is irrevocable. These Judges are
appointed for life and will receive an annual
SALARY of $1,000. The third district is com
posed of tho States of New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vAnia and Delaware.
or course there is no lack Of aspirants for
the coveted positions, either through their
OWE personal application or that Of their
friends. The names of the following gentle
nsn from this State have been mentioned in
connection with the appointment fer the
third district: Judge Allison and Judge
Thsyer Of Philadelphia Judge Taylor. Pres
ident Judge of this district W. S. Purvi-
auce AMI Mr, BnkeweIl of the Pittsburgh
bar, both of whom are unknown to fame
and Vim. M'Kennan, of Washington county.
1t is Eaid the Hen. John Scott supports
Judge Taylor. and that Simon Cameron
points up' for w. S. Purviance. M'Ken-
nan is button hole relation of Grants wife,
and was prominently spoken of as the sue
cessor of Gen. Rawlins in the War Office.
It will be remembered that Grant paid him
visit during the latter part Of last summer.
Wo incline, therefore, to the opinion that
Mrs. Grants relation, M'Kennan. is the
coming man, although We do not believe
that the membc of the Washington county
bar would endorse his com mpetsncy for the
position. As Offices Of this magnitude and
Importance are distributed under this model
administration" the question of fitness,
however. is one Of minor consideration. II
Mr.. M'Kennan is not appointed it will be-
remarkable exception to all the we'll known
rules that have heretofore governed this ad-
mnistration in its dispensation of official
kvors. Judge Taylor is immeasurably the
superior of any of the applicants named.
He would discharge the duties Of the position
with the very highest ability and with un-
doubted integrity. We would be much
gratifed to hear of his appointment, even
at the sacrifice of being deprived Of his ad
United competency and honesty. as the
President Judge of this Judicial District.

A TERRIBLE FIRE.-A second fearful item
of news from the Russian press is the burn-
ing of the town of Jeniseisk, Eastern Siberia,
on the 9th of September. The fire crgina-
ted in turf moor, which had been smnul-
dering for some years. and during a violent
storm burst out into sea of flames, which
seized the nearest house about eleven o'clock
in the forenoon, thence spreading quickly
over the whole city. At eight O'Clock in the
evening, 300 houses (mostly wooden. but
thirty FIVE of great size). six churches, two
cloisters, all the stores, and an immense
amount of grain "a about two millioo pounds)
were destroyed. The fearful rapidity with
which the flames spread prevented the peo-
pie in nearly every case from preserving
their goods Over one hundred corpses were
found charred in the streets, and as many
more are said to have been drowned in the
water. Many of the inhabitants fed to the
vessels in the harbor, but these too were
caught by the flames. The city is now des-
olate and its former residents are strewu
around in the neighboring villages and the
various cities of the government.

Ben BuIIer In Trouble.

The career Of the hero of Fort Fisher af-
fords an apt illustration of the truth of the
old Spanish proverb, that "young chickens
will always come home to roost." Butler is
again in court or charge of appropriating
the personal property of another to his own
use. Miss Rowe Da Florance, of New Orleans,
= niece of the late Gen. David E. Twiggs,
makes an affidavit and through her counsel
presents it to Judge Jones, of the Superior
Court of New York, in which she deposcs
and says: That on or about the 1st day of
June, 1862. the defendant (Butler) at that
time a military commandant stationed at
ssid city, (New Orleans,) did. maliciously,
willfully and feloniously, and with violence
and force of arms, enter into the depOnent'S
house and premises and did then and there
seize upon and appropriate to his own use
three jewelled, gold-hited swords, with gold
sheaths or scabbards. Of the value of about
$S5 900 in gold and one box of sllverware.
table furniture, (spoonS, we suppose OF the
value of $4,000 in gold. These highly
wrought and valuable swords, il seems, were
presented to Gen. Twiggs by the United
States government and the States of Georgia
and Texas for meritorious services rendered
By him in the war with Mexico, and were
given by Gen. Twiggs to his niece, Miss
Florance. Some time ago, when it was
charged against Butler that he had taken
these swords. be alleged that he bad depos-
tied them in the Treasury Department at
Washington. But Miss Florance, 10 her af-
hdavit. states that she has instituted inqui-
ries at that department. through her duly
authorized agent, and that. after search had
hsen made, was informed that they had not
been and could not be found. We know
nothing Of the merits of the case, further
than they are detailed by Miss Florance in
her affidavit.
Judge Jones ordered'a warrant of arrest

A DEATH BED SERMON "A gentleman
died last week at his residence in one Of our
uptown fashona ble streets, leaving $ll,-
900, 900. He was a member of the Presby-
terian Church, III excellent standing. a good
husband and father, and thrifty citizen.
On his death bed, lingering long he suffered
with great agony of mind, and gave cOntin-
uaI expressioEs to bis remorse for what his
conscience told him had been an ill-speDt
life "Oh !" he exclaimed, and his weeping
friends and relations gathered about his bed
oh! if 1 could only live my years over
again. Oh if could only be si'"red, foI
a few years, would willingly give all the
wealth have amssse6 ia my life time. 1t
is life devoted to money-getting that | re-
gret. 1t is this which weighs me down and
makes me despair of the life hereafter !" His
clergy endeavored to soothe him. but he
turned his face to the wall "Yvu have
never reproved my avaricous spirit" he
said to the minister You have called tt
wise economy and forethought. but / now
know that riches have been only a snare for
my poor souli" In this sad state of mind,
refusing to be .consoled, this poor rich man
bewailed life devoted to the mere acquisi-
tion of riches. Many came away from his
bedside impressed with the uselessness of
such an existence as the wealthy man had
spent, adding house to house and dollar to
dollar, until he became millionaire AL
knew him to be a protesting Christian and
a good man. as the world goes, but the ter
rGr and remOrse of his death bed administer
ed lesson not lightly dismissed from memo
ry. He would have given all for single
hope of Heaven.-N. Y. Sun.

not to the spread Of CO. operative industrial

for the establishment of those friendly re-
latiODs between capital and labor which
much Of the evidence before Us shows the
formation and action of trades unions have
tended to impair. For even if the CO. op-
erative system should be found to stand
the test Of adverse times, its spread must
neces sarily be slow. Time alone can test
its success or failure and il is hardly to
be expected, until the result Of the expert

that the success Of CO. operation will in the
course Of years be satisfactorily aud indis-
putably proved, It must be remembered that
as regards Mr.. Briggs system the principle
is to limit the profits Of the employer and
TO give the workman, over and above bis
