Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes Of

The New York Post says the Presidents
nomination of Mr.. Benedict as Surveyor
of that port twill be regarded with un-
mixed satisfaction by all those WHO hope
for any publication in politics and any re-
form in the civil service. The case is even
more striking than the promotion of the
Deputy Postmaster in Philadelphia; for
the surveyorship is most lucrative and
much coveted office, and more than one
of the local politicians of influence and
prominence would have been glad to get
it. In strict accordance with the civil
service rules. however, Mr. Benedict is en-
titled to the Office as next in rank and as
competent to discharge its du
ties, and it is given to him."

DEFEAT OF THE BILL TO REVIVE
AMERICAN COMMERCE.

1.-THE defeat in the national House of
Representatives, on the god. Of the Shella-
barger bill for the revival of American
commerce, says the New Hampshire
Statesman. sis quite decisive, more so, we
are told than either its friends OF oppon-
ents expected. 1t had been anticipated,
remarks the Advertisers Washington cor
respondent, that an attempt would be
made to materially amend or to divide the
bill, saving perhaps, the sections provid-
ing for national commission of COM
merce, but Mr.. Cox declined to wait for
any partial or indirect action and called
for division of the House directly on the
bill asst stood. Mr.. Cox, as our readers
are well aware, is leading Democratic
member, a fact well to note in view of
the stress Democratic organs are wont to
put upon the decay of American shipping
interests. More significant still is the re-
suit of an analysis Of the vote. Notwith-
standing the bill had the undivided sup
port of the committee on commerce, an
advantage which it is doubtful if any sub
sidy proposition can secure, the Demo-
Gratis voted almost unanimously to lay it
on the table.
With them voted many Republicans
from the Southern and Western States,
who have no direct interest in the revival
of the shipping interest. The protection
lists generally voted for the bill, and also
in its support were the votes of several
members who preferred to grant subsidies
under general laws and on a comprehen-
sive system, to giving them piece-meal
and to individual applicants. An analysis
of the New England vote is suggestive.
In favor of laying the bill on the table We
find recerded-Messrs. Parker Hubbard,
Bell, Smith, Willard, and Hawley; against
Lynch, Frye, Hale, Peters. Buflinton,
Ames, Hooper, Twichell, Butler. Banks,
Hoar, Croker, Dawes, Eames, Pendle-
ton. Kellogg, and Starkweather. Messrs.
Barnum, Este. and Poland did not vote.
We ask all gentlemen interested in
to scan this vote, as by it they
will learn to what men and to what party
they owe it that measures for their relief
are withheld-measures which, if imper-
feet, promised the best attainable results
possible from direct legislation. Jet us
hear no more from Democratic organs,
jeremiads on the decay of American
commerce their representatives are on
record against its revival"

The Boston Transcript praises the
weather reports, as remarkably accurate
and doing an incalculable amount of good,
and believes there should be added facili-
ties for obtaining them and extending
their advantages over the country. We
hope those engaged in preparing the re-
ports are not responsible for the weather
we have had this winter. Why not Gin
vestigate" little in that direction before

The failure Of the jury to convict Tweed
of the charges against him is an ending
of the case which will not satisfy the pub
lie judgment. There Is little doubt how
ever that the courts will never find him
guilty. That the jury should stand eleven
in his favor to one against is stronger
whitewashing than we should have
thought possible even in New York. But
New York juries are very compassionate
and tender hearted, especially toward
those who have long purses.

Some of its Fruits.

Until twenty-scven years ago, there
was not Statcin the Union where tho
Office of judge was filed by direct popu-
lar election; and it is striking coinci-
dcncc that up to that date, the word
judge in this country was venerable
gathering into tselfin the minds
of the people all those ideas of purity,
ability, learning, calmness, frmness and
impartiality, on which the confidence Of
the people might perfectly repose. Prior
to 1876, in all our annals, there had sell
dom been known the instance of judge
to whom we could have uttered Shake
speare's sad censurc:
C Your dishonor
Mangles true,judgcment, and bereavcs the State
OF that integrity which s!!iouid become it.
The old system of selecting judges by
appointment had given us invariable an
experience of good judges that we per-
haps ceased to appreciate the the posi-
bility of ever having bad ones.
But just twenty-sevon years ago, New
York held convention for the revision
ofits Constitution. 1t was period of
unbounded sclf.confidence, political rash
ness and innovation. Without any rcal
discussion of the subject, for no assigned
cause, without the least pretence that the
people desired such measure, and
against the votes of the ablest men in the
Convention-C Charles p. Kirkland,
Charles o. Conor, Henry Nicoll, Henry
G. Murphy, Samuel j. Tildcn, and 9TH
ers-the convention set aside our ancient
system of judicial selection, and made the
office of n judge merely political one,
to be scrambled for and held by the
lowest devices of office seeking and par
tisan trickery.
For twenty-seven years we have tried
this system of selecting our judges by the
ordinary competitions of partisan politics.
Certainly, we have given the system a
fair trial. What are we to think oft?
What have been its fruits? Have they
not been such as to justify the warning
sounded by John Stuart Mill, in his
Considerations on Representative Gov
ernments," when he declared: "The

Arlnpland field ofyernai ground, i,ii=
Where the far echoes, round and round,
Of Alpine horns, rang musical,
Blending withsounding waterfall.
There, uncouth shepherds Bergamasque
Piled lazily their day-1ong task,
And heard all day amid the delIs
The music Of a thousand bells.
While from the mountains, dense or thin,
The rainless clouds poured swiftly in,
And left the pastures all aglow,
Ere they sank down the wales below.
There, late and weary of the way
Ne'er will my heart forget that day
The mists ran low, and islanded,
saw the Jungfrau's lofty head.
Snow-crowned, and dazzling in the light,
Piercing the blue with virgin white,
More like sun-ciff thrown aslant
On Earth's most solid adamant;
More like n broken planet hurled
One part athwart our steadfast world,
And from its black path through the night
Plunged suddenly into the light.
There standing, all at once sound
Came to ME from the far profound,
Which left the noise of ofwaterfalls,
From inaccessible high walls,
:. Like low murmur heard behind
The roaring of an autumn wind
So deep and jarringy yand, ere long,
As it came near, SO loud and strong.
1t was an avalanche unseen
That, issuing two high crags between,
Flowed laundering down the mountain steer
Into a chasm black and deep. M

Which, twisting in the golden thread,

Oftliat sweet plain, stood OH the ledge,
And for n moment, unconcernc,l,
Toward Jungfrau's unveiled bosom turned
Then gfazcd again, aud could hear
Their tinkling bells sound sweet and near;
But couldsee, for miles and miles,
The Obe land break into smiles.
