SIR ALEXANDER CocKBURN's CAREER.

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD:-
The appointment Of Sir Alexander COekburn, 7
Chief Justice OF England, arbitrator on the part
OF the British under the Treaty. OF WASH
Ington Is one calculated to give satisfaction 10 the
people OF this country.
Your Mandatory article upon the subject speaks OF
the Chief Justice las one OF the most highly
spectacle officers under the Crown :" but this
scarcely conveys to your numerous readers the
character and qualifications OF the eminent indi-
vidua entrusted with The Important functions OF
bitrator In the pending International controversy at
Geneva. Mere responsibility IN Judge is negatively
complimentary. Some OF the stupidest or Englands
judges have been the most respectable. Constant
attendance at sermons AZ the assZes hanging with
out mercy wretChed Criminals mOralizlnR to cOun-
try gentlemen upon grand juries, changeiess
sOemnity OF demeanor both upon and OFF inc bench,
elements IN the judicial character which readily
earn the title OF Responsibility with the English
people. Responsibility Is considered as paid Tor by
the salary upon the principle that the personal
attendance by the footman AT family prayer Is sup
posed to be compensated by the rate OF wages. But

years In constant intercourse with HIM. Emil J
nent as Jurst In vhe largest and widest
meaning Of the term, Liberal in his views upon
Political and social questions, an accomplished
scholar, versed In modern as in classic literature,

wrong which are instincts Of his nature, the Chief
Justice has administered the law In a humane and
enlightened manner ana mas ornsne , away WIN

In the concave OF the representatives OF EuropeaH

Montana and Wyoming, and is pro-
nounced by scientific men to be more
crowded with natural wonders than any
other portion OF the globe. The dscovc-
RIGS made by the party, of which Gov.
Langford is the historiographer, consisted
of singular rock formations, ali kinds Of
boiling springs, n mul-volcano, and gey-
sers moro numerous than those Of Iceland.
In the second article, Which will sppesr
