ONE of the standing accusations against
the President has been that he appointed
Judges Bradley and Strong to the bench of
the Supreme Court Of the United States,
on account Of their opinions on the legal
tender question; in other words, that he
"packed" tho court for the sake of re-
opening the question and reversing the
Judgment. The Nation of this week re-
marks with reference to that libel: "We
have been assured, within the last week,
by Judge Hoar, the late Attorney General,
and he ought to know, that Judges
Bradley and Strong were selected, and we
believe nominated, several days before the
first legal-tender decision was delivered,
and before the government knew what it
would be; and that they were selected
solely with reference to their standing and
character. Judge Strong had rendered a
decision in favor of the constitutionality of
the act in the state court, it is true, but so
had almost all the state judges before whom
the question had been brought, and Mr..
Bradley, though counsel to repudiating
corporations, had advised them to pay their
interest in coin. We consider this good
and sufficient answer" &c. Room for the
next!

We take from the the Charleston West
Va.) Courier of the 4th inst, the following
report of sale of coal land at public auc-
ton, which shows remarkable advance
in price, owing to the near completion of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. This
tract is on the opposite side of the Kanawha
river from the railroad, and some miles
distant, and is wild, rugged mountain land,
only valuable for its coal. Why don't
some of our Richmond people take steps to
share in the enormous profits so soon to be
realized in Kanawha coal land? The
chance will soon be gone:
One Of the most interesting land sales
which has ever been made in the Kanawh a
Valley was made by commissioners He
drick and Smith on Saturday, March 23d.
These gentlemen, who were acting under
DEGREES made in the chancery causes of A.
Donnaly's administrator and others VS.. l..
RufFner and others and Lewis Ruffner and
others VS.. R. L. Putney, deceased, sold
four hundred and fifty acres of Campbelr:
creek coal lands to said Ernest Ruffner fol
the sum of fifty thousand dollars. Al
least sixty dollars more per acre than had
ever before been paid for like land. The
owners, who expect such property to adj
vance still higher, made an effort to have
the late sale set aside, but this the court
refused to do. Mr.. James II. Nash ap
peared as counsel for the owners and VIM
II. Hogeman for the purchaser.

WHETHER the consequential damages
clause shall or shall not be retained in the
Treaty Of Washington is question which
will, we think, be settled within very few
days, for from the latest dispatches it is
clear that the English Parliament is tired Of
the evasive answers and mysterious policy
of the government, and is in very grim ear
nest in its evident determination to have
the matter settled one way or the other,
and it would further appear that it has
formed determination equally strong with
that of having the case settled of having it
settled in England's fayor-a truly English
idea of fair dealing and equity.

A RESOLUTION has been passed by the
Convention Of colored men, now in session
at New Orleans, denying all sympathy with
the Cincinnati movement. This Conven-
ton is composed of some of the ablest
colored men of the country, including two
acknowledgements, one Secretary Of
state, and number Of members of state
Legislatures. They may be relied on as
speaking the feelings of the colored voters
of the country. And considering the con-
fessed incapacity or reluctance of the Gin
cinnati men to tell what they want, or how
they expect to get it, it is not strange that
the colored voters should have no sympathy
with them.

A Clever Doctor.

DIR. Cabarus, who died in Paris last
year, was one of those jovial physicians
whose presence is equally sought in the
sickroom as in society, and who effect
more with humor and pleasantly than
by medicine. Being brother in law OF
Lesseps, the celebrated engineer, and
nearly related to a princely family OF
his native land, he moved in aristocratic
circles, which deeply felt his loss. !H
One cure by which, at the commence.
ment of his career, he achieved a great
reputation, is characteristic of the man.
The Duchess Of one of the most
aristocratic ladies Of the Faubourg st.
Germain, had got possessed of the idea
that she had swallowed frog. She felt
this frog-she declared she had-and
its presence robbed her of her. peace OF
mind, sleep, and even Of health. The
Partisan physicians had the rudeness to
deny the existence of this animal, igno
rant as they we're that the poor lady suf.
fered martyrdom A fortunate chance
made her acquainted with DR.. Cabarus,
and to him she told her tale of woe He
felt, with q seriousness worthy of Hip
pocrates himself, the pulse of the fair
patient, inquired after various symp.
toms, and when the charming aristocrat
had exhausted all her store Of argu.
ments to prove her pet deltsion, the
youthful doctor said, after we'll .feigned
pause: 7,ref.,r .cT :sLlH.aS a.
MADAME, the frog is there, but i will

He then prescribed an innocent cmet-
ic and went to the nearest flower shop,
where he bought small green frog

basin. y,
On seeing the frog a load was reno.

..Stop!" cried Cabarus, without allow
ing trace of embarrassment to be seen
in his manner, "that we shall soon see.'
He then threw a searching glance up.
on the frog, which he had by this time
taken in his hand, and uttered, with g
certainty that settled the whole ques

New York, October 13.-The, fol-
lowing is an account of the great four
mile race, yesterday. at jerome Park,
in which M. Fl. Sandford's Monarehist,
by Lexington, distanced Harry Bassett !:
Monarchist went off first, with King
Henry second and Bassett trailing. The
pace is very slow. At the quarter Bas-
sett passes King Henry. and is running
4 length or two behind Monarchist. In
this way they run the first mile. Pass
ingshe stand Colonel McDaniels signals
to Roe to 90 on. At the turn Bassett
isaeven with Monarchist, and gradually
takes the lead, holding it by q half a
length As they round the bluff COM
ing into view, they are neck and neck.
AT the three quarters Monarchist leads a
trife At the furlong pole, and the
stand, Monarchist again takes the lead.
Again Colonel McDaniels' orders the
race to 60 on, and again Jimmy re,
spends, but before reaching the quarter
it is evident that Bassett can not, or will
not, respond to Roe's call, From that
point to the finish of the four miles
Monarchist slowly but surely increases
his lead, and fraly wins by two hun
dred yards, in 1891; Harry Bassett
second, fifty yards in front of King
Henry. TIME of first mile, l :52h sec
