PROVIDING FOR SErTLE-Judge Settle, Of
North Carolina, the chairman Of the last
National Convention of the republican party,
who was defeated for Congress in the State
election, is to be consoled by o seat on the
bench of the Supreme Court of the United
States. This will be an ample recompense for
the former disappointment, and, considering
the value Of the position, it is fortunate for
Judge Settle that he did not run for Congress
ut the general election in November, when
General Grants personal popularity would
have dragged him to success

A SUCCESSOR TO SECRETARY FIsH.-It is
rumored from Washington that Mr. William
M. Evarts, the eminent lawyer, is to succeed
Mr.. Fish as Secretary Of State in President
Grants Cabinet. Mr.. Evarts has acknowl-
edged ability in his profession, but whether he
is fitted for the position for which he is now
named is question his own Judgment will
doubtless enable him to decide. The general
sentiment favors the selection Of the Secretary
of the Treasury from this city. 1t seems emil
nently proper that the metropolis of the Union
should be represented in the Cabinet through

reception.
His Lordship will hold q public audience on
Saturday, when many Of the Indo-Asiatic Sow.

Great preparations are making for the ceremony,
which will be accompanied BY all the gorgeous
display usual on such occasions In the territory of

Lord Northbrook's visit to and reception in Bom-
bay, with his resolve for anording brilliant au-
dence TO the native princes OF the surrounding and
neighborng territories results to avery great extent
from the necessity which just now exists for
English conciliatlon in that direction. Many Of the

Ftrst-They cannot get to the ear OF the head OF

expressions ..cannot speak with their own lips
and hear with their own ears"
Second-They feel the position assumed by the
political agent to be one OF command, instead OF
one OF friendship. Their ministers subordinates
are shown favor by him, and they are supported by
his influence.
Tnird-Their private affairs are pried into with
minute and degrading curiosity.
FOurfh-The faults found in their character or
administration by the political agent are published

given to them OF rebutting the accusations or az

FinN-There Is too much interference in all
matters OF their administration. There Is push
