Hon. James Ino,n pson.

The official teln of Judge THOMSON,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, expired last Monday, and
on the same day his successor on the bench,
ULYSSES MERCUR, entered upon the du-
ties of that position. We regard the re-
terment OF Judge THOMPSON as a serious
public loss. Since the days of JOHN BAN
MISTER GIEsOS, Pennsylvania 5 most illus
tTious Judge, no man has been more clear
in his high Office or shed more honor on his
position than JAMES THOMPSON. lie has
laid aside the judicial ermine, which he as
sumed fifteen years ago, without blemish
and without a single spot to mar or dislig-
ure it. 1t would be 4 happy state OF ar
fairs if the same thing could be truthfully
said of all Judges throughout the State
when their official career is ended and pop
ment upon their works. Judge THOMPSON
leaves the Court of which he has been so
great an ornament with the universal re-
gret. not only of the members of the legal
profession, but also of the people, and car
Iies with him into private life their warmest
wishes for his future welfare and prosperi-
ty. Whether his successor can adequate
ly fill his place remains yet to be seen. AL
though he is gentleman of character and
respectability, and for short period dis
charged the duties of President Judge Of
the Bradford district, yet he is peculiarly
politician and occupied seat in Congress
at the time of his nomination. This of it
self does not of course prove that Mr.. NIER-
CUR is not qualified for a proper discharge
of the duties of his new office Let us hope
that he will be equal to the high trust
which has been repOsed in him.

GENERAL JOSEPH r. HAwLEY. Ex-Gov-
ernor Of Connecticut, member of Congress
elect and editor of the Hartford Couraat
the leading Republican paper in that State
entertains very exalted opinion of SIMON
CAMERON, five may judge from the follow
ing extract copied from one Of our cotem-
poraries. Now that CAMERON is a candi-
date for reelection to the Senate of the
United States, it is interesting to know in
what estimation he is held by one Of the
most prominent members of his own party
in another State:
The Hartford Courdnt, both in its printed
pages and through the spoken utterances OF
its editor, has, time and again, expressed
ITS opinions, without reserve, to the effect
that Simon Cameron is corrupt man, and
corrupter of others, and is altogether unfit
to hold any public office.

IN the Constitutional Convention on the
sfst OF November, resolutions proposing
amendments to the organic law of the
State fell as tlIick and fast as leaves in
Nallambrosa. Each member seemed to
have amendment ON the brain and contrib
uted his mite to what he regarded the in
terest ofreform. Many of the propositions
submitted were eIninently wise and proper;
others were of doubtful utility; while some
were absurd and ridiculous. The follow
ing extract taken from the Harrisburg cor
respondence of the Blair County RGdicaL
although the writer does not refer to more
than onc-half of the amendments proposed.

acter of the resolutions which were offered

\ TERRIBLE RIDE.-TwENTY NILES
BENEATH A LOCOMOTIVE on \ NIGHT Tx
Kansas City Times says
Mans daring often assumes phase Of
fooihardiness almost increduious to believe,
and it appears at times as though the pre-
sent generation is either becoming more
brave or less intelligent every day. One
of the most singular incidents OF fQolhard-
mess known to this section of the country
transpired upon the Kansas Pacific Rail
road on last Saturday night young
man named Josiah I. Haight, native Of
and a recent arrival in this city, from
Wooster, Chic, after lighting the tiger
in one of our sporting rooms on Saturday
night. found himselfi broken" without
even so much as sufficient to pay his hotel
bin. After wandering around the city all
day on Sunday, he conceived the idea OF
eudeavoriug to reach Topeka, Kansas, by
stealing a ride upon the Kansas Pacific
night express. With this intention, lie
partook of 4 hearty supper at lns hotel
near the Union depot, wrapped himself
UP rs warmly as possible, and started out
to walk to Armstrong station, two miles
west of Kansas City. There, while the
train was stopped, he crawled upon the
pilot OF the icy locomotive and crouched
down upon the trucks beneath the smoke
box. The train moved on at rapid rate,
=
and piercing through Haight's clothing,
chilling him to the marrow. He soon dis
covered that he must inevitably freeze to
death in his present uncomfortable condI-
tion, but there was no escape. The tram
rushed on through the haw bottoms, Dever
hating, never stopping. Ha!ght found
himself gradually sinking. benumbed and
without feeling, down into the cross bars
of the truck frame. Gradually be dropped

THE civil suit against GEORGE o. EVANS
was called up in the Court of Common Pleas
of Dauphin county last week and contin-
uance was asked for on the ground of the
serious illness of the,defendant This was
opposed by the Attorney-General, but the
Court granted the continuance on condi-
tion that the case should never again be
continued for the same cause We think
the case will never be heard of again. the
probability being that EVANS will be in an
other world before the next term of the
Court, and then the story of his embezzle-
ment will be like a thrice told tale Ia The
meantime his guide, counsellor and friend,
JOHN +. HARTRAEFT, will have been in
augurated Governor of PENNSYLVANIA, a
