Judge, to fill the place made vacant
by the resignation of John CARRIER.
Mr.. Belknap's appointment was at
once filed with the Secretary of State

coming man has afforded a great
amount of newspaper speculation

tirely satisfactory TO US, as would

named. no doubt became thoroughly
convinced that he had given lit one

Office. So far as we have heard the
matter mentioned. entire satisfaction
prevails. Judge Belknap will take
his seat on the Supreme Bench to-
morrow.
