Is NE TO BE Tool OF THE PREsIDKNTp
One of the most unpleasant ihIDgs that comes
10 the way Of journalists duty is the denuncia-
tlon OF unRt and incompetent appointments to
places OF high trust aud great responsibiiy.-
But this duty ought not TO be shirkod. Aud 1t is
with feeling of deep pain that we notice that
many of our contemporaries of the Republican
party, who ought TO be independent enough to be
candid and truthful, are allowing themselves to
be charged with lacking in both these virtues, ty
not referring to the appointment OF Chief Justice
of the United States by President Grant in such
dennciAtOry language as the case deserves.
1t is said by those who know Attorney General
Wilhams-by those OF hiS own party, that he Is
far below either of the Judges now on the Bench
of the Supreme Court in learning, and 30 dsh-
Cisnt in the knowledge of law as to be incompe-
tent to do justice TO case in our county Courts.
This is the opinion entertained of him by his
own party associates, and yet President Grant
alter having all the time since the death of Chei
Justice Chase, to select great jurist from among
lhe many eminent legal gentlemen of the coun'
ny, falls back upon his Attorney'General,w whos'
recent opinions have reflected ne credit upon hin
in any case wherein he has been required 10 give
them.
1t is fortunate fyr the country that the higl
func,iOns which Mr.. Williams has heretofore beer
called upon 10 discharge, wall be turned over Il
Anotheri but it is truly lamentable that, having
got rid Of him in that capacity the country shoul'
ba cursed with so much incSpacity in the veF1
highest Official position known TO Jurisprudence
under our form Of government, and that for lil
period
In Gen. Grants own deficiencies aud incapaci

appointments 1t has been severely cursed; AM

II the accounts of what took place at the Cabi-

the most extraordinary auiocTat we have had in

Williams himself, the President tendered" TO that
gentleman the great place of Chief Justice of the
United States. We do not understand why there
is any Cabinet why il meets at ell, why Presi-

poses to do. He does not take their advice; be
does not ask their opinion or anybody's opinion In

RAIL WAY CONSOLlDA TION.

The fact has been noticed that leading
railway managers have been and are quite
busy in looking over the railways in this
State and the adjoining Provinces Their
design is to establish consolidated line
of railway from New York to Halifax, and
round to Quebec and Montreal, that shall
be the leading and controlling route be-
tween the east and west. In addition to
this they have an eye to the building of
branches and feeders across parts of this
State, which ii accomplished will be of
great importance to Maine. The trunk
lines being built, the next thing is to build
the branches, wherever business and tray
Ell either present or prospective may offer
Inducements. The northern part of our
State will very likely be opened up In this
way very largely. Its lumber and miner
ais and fine farming lands will present
attractions to capital and settlers where
railroads cross it, and no doubt il will be-
come before many years the seat of u
thriving population. The extension of the
railroad system of New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia, making easy and rapid COM
munication between all parts of those
Provinces and Maine, will be mutually
advantageous also. A correspondent of
the New York World gives the following
in regard to the movements now afoot:
