mule would have walked To the rear

pulled hard on the gee rein and gave
him such Il whack with the car-hunk
that he bounded straight forward like Il
Sluug- shot. Then he bounded back
like Il return ball. Just in time Ia get
the other end of the hook, and renewed
the forward movement with such force
that the rebound brought him up in IA
collapsed condition against the breast
work of the CaT. The driver looked
shakV. the mule seemed anxious to 90

ears came up and stopped tn see what

about three minutes the gentle creature
went forward and backward with We

Court.

General Grant has, as yet, indicated no
gentleman Tor the Office OF Chief-Justice OF
the Supreme Court OF the United States,
which has been rendered vacant by the
death of Salmon T. Chase The only
thing apparently which he has said is that
he will appoint no one who will leopard

OF the late war That appears to be the
main test which he requires. In this view
OF the maiIer-in this stateo the case-we
would respectfully call his attention to

first choice OF large number OF the prom
inent Repnblicans Of this section Of the
Union. We alluie to the Hon. VIM. s
Grocshrck. General Grant should remem-
her that Mr. Groesbeck WAS the author OF
the very terse remark. in speaking OF the
result of the war, that war legislates-
that the amendments had been made to
the Constitution, and that they would

to that cause an influence which was
recognized throughout the West. Like

learning, IN his individual purity, in his
/ majestic personal appearance, he would
seem To have been marked out exactly for
the high office OF ChiefJusfice His looks
are those OF the .Indge and they don't be-
lie him. Ii is not Ihe least of his recon-
mendati)n that he is no seeker for the
