stoned n dead man to be Justice of the Su-
preme Court. Such being the case Of course
there is no vacancy in the place to which he
was appointed. Stanton, though dead, is
Justice. OF course if dead man can be ap.
pointed to Office dead man can hold office
The one is just as reasonable as the other
Grant surely ascertained that it was consttu-
tional and lawful to commission dead man
or be would not have done so. How then is
the dead Stanton ever to be removed from his
Office? The appointment is during good be-
havior. No matter how badly some of us
may think Stanton behaved during life, the
probabilities are that now he is dead be will
behave we'll. AT least we do not think that
his conduct will be such as to render him
liable to impeachment, and that is the only
mode by which q Judge of the Supreme
Court can be gotten rid of. Stanton. there
fore. is Judge for all time. unless Congress
have power to reconstruct the Court and get rid
of ell the incumbents. which power is denied
to it by good constitutional lawyers. VIII
somebody settle this dead Judge dilemma f1r
us? We can't get it through our hesd.-Er
dminer.
