WE knew Governor Edmund D..
Davis when q youth ana clerk In the
Dor toffice In Galvcston; next rs ayolng
lawyer, u District Attorney, and finally
AZ District Judge on the Rio Grahde.
His war record and his courses since are
known to the State. For saying u kind
word OF his earlier career in coast
paper nearly three years ago, for re-
fusing, after long absence, without
knowing his errors, to denounce him
blindfoid, the writer Of this, by few
shallow-pated numbskulls, was denoun-
eed W. ssrepely treated the assaults
with silent and unmitigated contempt,
and continued ourlahors to enfranehise
the people Of Texas. We found abun'
dant cause afterward to believe Gov.
ernor Davis was governed by two evil
influences, prejudice and bad men
and we, neither publicly or private
", have failed to denounce his con-
duct a. W. thought truth depeBded
We think he has committed great
wrongs under these influences, and
that bis defeat by Judge Coke is
righteous Judgment by a brave anc
generous people. But, notwithstand
ing all this, We do not believe that Ed
m9nd :. Davis viii, n9w nine years
after the war, lend his name or inau-
ence to 30 great a crime agains

The President long wavered between

thought it over, and, like any young
man fond of All active career, declined

Miller, and Judge HWaype IN person.
had so pesiered the President for the
place that he declared, last July, that
to the disturbance of its harmony.
Conkling,s declination came 80 late
that there was little time for further
selection, with the work on the mes
sage unfinished, and the Spanish
matter taking up good deal of time.
In this period of indecision, when the
President was Ike o gunner sitting on
o fence waiting for game AMI seeing
none, the female hemisphere of the
White House, inspired by the wife of
the Attorney General, charged upon
the Presidential sportsman, took his
gun and powder-fask away, and
KISSED HIM INTO COMPLIANCE.
Mrs. Grant know there gould be no
mistake about it. The young ladies
entreated Ulysses to unstring his bow.
Happy as a clam at high-waler, the
tall Oregonian found himself blessed
with the bap tism of total immersion
aud he will take the seat Of Ellsworth,
Jay, Marshall, fancy, and Chase.
This appointment will be thought,
by . majority of public critics and
members of the bar, to be below the
social, intellectual, and professional
demands of the office, but perfectly in
keeping with Gen. Grants mediocre
range Of appointments. 1t may be
said, however. OF the Office, that it has
ne exceptional preponderance in the
councils of the Supreme bench; and
that, under Judge Williams, who is
modest man, without self-assertiOn or
unequal temper, the harmony ef the
court is apt to he continued. His ac--
quiremSnts in the law and general
literature are respectable. He has
reverence, without that undue defer
ence, which springs from conscious
inferiority. He is chaste and discreet
in the expression Of his opinions; and
acquaintance with him gives one the
idea Of a just and judicial mind, already
well experienced, and capable of high
err performances in criticism and evO-
luton Of principles than he has yet
had opportunity to show.
