JUDGE Hoar and the President

The friendly, relations of Judge
Hoar and the, President have neyer
been interrupted. When recently
Mr.. Hoar rendered his resignation,
for the first time, in writing, the
President accepted it with the init
nation that as the South had no
judge on the supreme bench it seem
ed fair that that section should
have representative in the Cabinet
and, therefore,inquiries were made
as to a suitable successor The
ascertained qualifications of Acker-
man being satisfactory, he was ac-
cordingly nominated to-day to the
Senate Toward the close Of the pro-
ceedings of that cody this afternoon
an Intellectual motion was made to
go into executive session in order
that the nomination might be acted
upon. This probably will be done
to morrow.
THE OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The following correspondence
passed between Judge Hoar and the
President: A. 1-

esied in those present and prospective. With
,rgard to the History the Senate seems dis
posed TO give Bates what he asks for 70 carry
on his inierminable rigmarole, but the House
proposes to keep the matter in abeyance for
a time, and to appoint joint committee to
ascertain the cost, and to notify the State
printer to cease the publication until other
wise ordered by act of Legislature. It would
be much more satisfactory if further publ
cation were to be forbidden outright, and it
is not promising sign for the discontinuance
of this drain on the treasury to find the
Senate appointing committee to harmonize
the views of the two houses on the subject.

The LEGIsLATURE seems inclined to extend
the hand of friendship and forgiveness to
Geary again--at least we judge SO from the
fact that bill was reported formally in the
Senate yesterday appropriating the sum of
$1,000 to pay the inaugural expenses of the
Governor. The Inauguration of a Governor
of this Commonwealth consists simply in his
taking an oath to support the Constitution of
the United States and of the State of Penn
sylvania, and to attend to various other mat
ters, such as faithfully execute the laws, etc.
Why it should cost such an amount as $500
to ''swear in" Geary at the commencement of
his second term, is worth inquiring about in
these days of high taxes Who is to receive
the money, and what is it to be paid for is
what we want to know. -

The EPISCOPAL BENCH in the present day by no
means represents the whole OF the eccleslastical
strength In the British House OF Lords. In the en-
suing parliamentary session, besides the twenty
four bishops, there will be nine clerical peers enti
titled to seats, viz The Ears of Carlisle and Buck
inghamshre, Lords saye and sele, Soarsdale, Dyne-
vor, Auckland, Brodrick, o'Neill, and Buckhurst
This fact marks the rise that has taken place in the
social position OF the clergy since the days OF Parson
Adams and DIR. Primrose. Chamberlaine. writing
upon the state OF England, soon after the Royolu-
ton, remarks with evident satisfaction that 'low "a

the sacrilege OF former times 1t has pleased God TO
suffer much stll to remain as to be an encourage

present age can show several OF the eminentest
churchmen now in England who have at once
honored the Church and added lustre to those
eminent families from which thoy are descended y

name OF only one peer-Lord Crow-who was amply
rewarded for his jealous churchmanshp with the
princely revenues OF the bishopric OF Dublin.

THE INDICTMENT OF RICHARD
F[CKEN.

FCREN. d.
THE District Attorney, Judge Ludlow, and
the Grand Jury have taken prompt action in
the case of Richard Ficken, and that indivi-
dual was brought into the Court of Quarter
Sessions yesterday on bench-warrant issued
on the application of Mr.. Gibbons, who
stated that he had prepared a bill of indict-
ment against Ficken, which had been returned
by the Grand Jury. The bill charges
Fieken with assault and battery; with as
sault and battery with intent to kill; with
shooting at with intent to murder and with
shooting at with intent to disable Isaac Bar
ker, lad who was in company with young
Curran at the time he was shot Testi-
mony was submitted to show that
Ficken fred pistol at the boys,
and also with regard to the condition of the
wounded lad. The boy Isaac Barker stated
positively that he saw Ficken fire, and MIR.
John @. Curran testified that Ficken came to
his house and apologized for the occurrence,
Offering to bear the expenses of medical treat
ment for the injured boy, and giving as a
reason for the outrage he had committed that
he thought it WAS only one of the alley boys.
Mr.. Curran very Justly thought that this ex-
cuse only aggravated the offense, and he re-
fused to let the matter be hushed up.
The surgeon in attendance on young Cur
ran testified, that the ball was still in the
limb, where il could not be found, and that
the boys life was in peril, though not in
imminent danger. Under these oircum-
stances Judge Ludlow said that the
defendant must remain in custody to await
the result of the boys injury, and he also
held him in the sum of $4,000 bail on the
charge of assaulting Isaac Barker. There
seems, from the disposition of the court and
District Attorney to do prompt and impartial
justice in this case, very fair chance that
Fioken will get his just deserts, which, if the
boy RECEIVERS, under the law will be a fine not
exceeding $1,000 and an imprisonment not
exceeding seven years. If the boy dies, Ficken
will, in the language of Judge Ludlow, be
called upon to answer for the highest crime
known to the law. Fa

This History is nothing but scandAlous
Job for the benefit of Bates, and 1t ought
never TO have been sanctioned by the Legis-

is to stop any further payments for it, and
let the money that has been expended go, with
feelings of congratulation that it is no more.

IT p1sTURBs the equanimity of the Age to
find that Foster Blodgett, the United States
Senator elect from Georgia, is disposed to be
virtuous in a manner totally unprecedented
in the annals of the Democratic party. The
Age never heard and never will hear of a
Democratic Senator elect asking that his
character shall be cleared of charges against
it before taking a seat in the highest de-
Lucrative body of the nation; for if such q
practice were to become q general custom, the
Democracy would not be able to have any
Senators to represent their interests. It
would undoubtedly be good thing for the
nation if our Senators and Representatives
were obliged to purge themselves as Blodgett
proposes to do, but we are not astonished that
our esteemed contemporary should become
alarmed at the idea of such a precedent being
established. Blodgett, in frank and manly
letter, requests the Governor of Georgia to
withhold his certificate of election until the
charges against him shall have been proved
or disproyed in the most satisfactory man
ner. He asserts that these charges were pre-
ferred for political purposes only, and that
they have been allowed to stand in court,
without any attempt being made to prosecute
them, solely for the purpose of annoying
him and embarrassing him in the Senate.
His letter shows that he is not afraid to meet
them, and SO we exclaim with the Age,
'Bully for Blodgett!'

DEATH OF GEORGE d. PRENrIcE.-This truly great
man died near Louisville Saturday last, was born
in Connecticut, Dec. Is, 1902, and consequently
at the time of his death in his 6Sth year. He grad
uated at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Is
and in 1928, afterward studying law, but never en-
gagng in the practice qf the profession. In 1928 he
assumed control of the New England Weekly Review,
literary Journal published at Hartford, nd in 1881
he became editor of the Louisville Journal, which pc
sition be held until 1868, when his failing health
dered necessary his partial retiracJ from the active
duties of the profession In the days of the old Wing
party, the Journal under Mr.. Prentices management
acknowledged power in the land; and his able
editorials and brilliant paragraphs, widely copied in
journals of the political faith rendered his
familiar as household words. In the midst of his
responsible duties he still found time to WOO the mu
ses, and some of his poetical productions were OF a
high order of merit. He man of strong will
and iron constitution but had not strength of mind
sufficient to enable him to overcome the temptation
to which his genial nature rendered him peculiarly
susceptible, and which in his last days dimmed to
some extent his brilliant intellect and partially OBJ
secured the fame acquired in the noon OF manhood
There are few men connected with the press OF the
country whose death would be moro widely mourned
than is that of George d. Prentice.

Tammany Hall is much troubled about
the Chase-Yeatman letter advocating
the Fifteenth Amendment, as some of
the leaders had intended to make him
their candidate for the next Presidency
Certain Tammanyites declare that he
had promised that on that condition he
would say or do nothing offensive to the
Democracy.
Russia is reported in Wall street to be
trying to negotiate a loan in this coun-
try of twenty five million dollars, for ex-
tending its railways. Some of our larg-
est capitalists are willing to lend the
sum at very low rates, on account of the
friendly relations between this country
and Russia.

Julian Or Wilson.

The Richmond Radical, 80 far single
handed and alone, supports the Hon. G..
w. allan, as a candidate for reelection
to Congress. All the other Republican
papers OF. the District manifest IA decided
preference for our worthy fellow citizen,
Hon j. NJ. Wilson. If the papers of
the District reflect the sentiments and
opinions of the people. then Judge Wills
son is the peoples fayoIite. and first
choice. No one doubts that he can car
ry the full strength Of the party, and
many contend that he can carry more.
But we don't need morc-Republicans
have a majority in this District OF seven
to ten hundred, and that is enough for
practical purposes. All we need is
sound reliable Repubiican-0new who has
never faltered. and gives assurance that
he never will-that can carry the full
strength of the party. Judge Wilson is
such man, and can do this. No one
questions it. There is perhaps not ev en-
q Democra. in this District, OF any con-
siderable degree of intelligence, and at
all posted in the relative strength of the
parties, that has the least doubt of
Judge Wilson's election if he receives
the nomination. There are doubtless
other men in the District that could be
easily elected too, but they are not AS yet
prominently spoken of by the Press -
The Republican press of the District
with the exception of the Radical, indi-
Gates very decided preference for
Judge Wilson, Together v it'll the opin-
ion that with him success is certain.
Now how is it with the Hon G. w. Ju.
liam ? No one doubts his Republication
no one doubts his ability. But
can he carry the full strength Of the
party If not, can we afford to lose
the votes he cannot carry, AMI still sue
coed? These are questions FULL of re-
Election for every Republican in the
District-questions each one must settle
for himself, and act accordingly.
We do not propose, in this article, to
discuss the merits or dement's of any
man-only to state a few facts, that ex-
ist in spite of things. We do not believe
in any mans claim upon the position
We are in favor of the success Of the
cause, and advocate the claim of the
party upon the men with whom it can
succeed. We regard this whole ques-
ton as prematurely sprung upon the
people at least four months before its
time ConnersviXe Times.
