ceived his Last Order, and joined

memory and example remain to US,

treasure. An grafton on his life and
character will be pronounced BY Ma.
jor General James A. Garfield, and

new election.

THE journal of Commerce, one of
the Oldest papers in!Naw York, and
one of the leading Democratic jour
nails of the country, in commenting
upon the declared intention of Mr..
Colfax to retire from public life at
the close of his present term of Office,
thus censuras the class Of low news
papers like the Evans ville Courier,
which have been sueering and bark
ing at his heels il the late campaign:
Men of more average ability and
morality are not go common In polit-
lcal parties that the retirement of Mr..
COllax should be exulted over even
by those who oppose his principles.
1t IS generally admitted, mournful
fact that the standard of men in both
the great parties is too low, and seems
to be going lower; and that is the
reason why we cannot repeat the &C
cusatlon of deception which is alleged
against Dir. Colfax's statement that
he wants, and will accept, no more
places IN the Public gift. He may
have become sickened, as many 9TH
eers have, Of the Incompetence, false
hoods and dishonesty so prevalent
among the American politicians of
the period. 1t is that thought which
makes US read his intended declara-
tons of retirement with a feeling of
sorrow rather than of disbelief and
ridicule."

EngIIsh and AmerIcan Yaehts.

The British yacht Cambria, which
came to our shores several months
since victorious ia her ocean race with
the Dauntless, is about to return to
England, having failed in all her sub
sequent matches to preserve the su-
premacy she then attained. Her last
race was with her old competitor, the
Dauntless. which proved the winner,
and a very easy one. The Cambria
has engaged in a number Of matches,
but while making a creditable score
in all of them, has not, we believe,
taken the FIST prize in single in
stance. This fact would seem to dem.
onstrate not only the superiority OF
our American built yachts over the
English pattern, but also that an
ocean race is not fair race in testing
the fast sailing qualities Of the re
spective yachts, the victory being al
together due to favorable winds and
currents, the presence or absence Of
which can in no visa be foreseen oil
provided for.

In justice to Jesse w. Laird, Esq
Clerk Of Spencer County. and also of
other parties interested, we publis y his
letter, giving different version af the
election returns matter from that given
in the JOURNAL few days ago. Our
information was received from relia.
bic gentlemen, who communicated
to US the rumors current in Rockport.
1t is possible that they. like many
other reports which follow thick upon
an exciting election, were exaggerated.
The last paragraph in Mr.. Laird 8
letter,in regard to the Criminal Judge
ship Of the city, is somewhat mysteri-
GUS, and may need further explana-
tiOn or deVelOpements.

THE following paragraphs from the

ExEUNT PROFESSIONAL JUaYMEN.
There is weeping and wailing and
crashing of teeth among the eminent
citizens who have been won't, from
time immemorial, to fill the resDoDsi.
bic positions of jurors in the United
States Court. By an act of Congress,
passed at the last session, all persons
were rendered ineligible to serve as
Jurors In the United States Courts
who had filed that position within
the two years Immediately preceding
the term for which the jury was i'm
paneled. This act, of course, sounded
the death knell of the numerous pro-
fessional jurymen who have hereto
fore served their country in that ca
pacity, and their CONSERVATION can
not easily be imagined.
Next to those gentlemen who bet so
freely on Champions election, and
spent their money so freely to secure
it, the most lugubrious set we have
seen for many day have been liDger-
iug in the doorWays and corridors of
the Federal tribunal of justice for
the last two days. Gone are all the
sweet snoozes which they were wont
to take, with their chairs tilted back
in the jury box while witnesses testi-
fed and counsel spoke. Gone are all
the fees which swelled their emaciated
pocket books. Gone are all the Joy
and pride which filled their breasts
when counsel expatiated SO eloquently
upon the intelligence and virtue Of
the gentlemen they saw before them.
Gone is the electric thrill which shot
through their frames when their
names were called and made the
aged and decrepit to amble forward In
response as gaily and briskly as the
yearling lamb. In fact, their occupa-
ton is gone, and with it has gone all
that made life tolerable to them.
And so they wander detected
through the halls and lin5er mourn
fully in the old court room with a
look which Shylock may have won
when he exclaimed:
''Nay, take my life and all.

SENATOR MORToN.-It would have
been more judicious for Senator Nor
ton to have withheld his decision up
on the acceptance of the British mis-
sion till after the result of the In.
diana election was known; but, as it
IS, We. presume Republicans generally
would be quite as we'll satisfied if he
declined the executive appointment
aud remained in his seat in the Sen
ate. His term expires in 1873, and
although one more Democrat would
make no difference politically in the
United States Senate, yet the loss of
so able and influential man as Sena-
tor Morton would be severely felt by
the Administration.-BoSton Journal.

IF the London Times is right in its
