| The reasons privately assigned by the
President for not appointing the successor to
Chief Justice Chase till the meeting of Con-
gress are substantially as follows: The sub
ject is so important that it requires much
consideration, and it is his intention to DELHI
erately select gentleman who will be gen.
orally acceptable 10 the whole country. Be-
sides there is no immediate necessity for act

| fore entering upon the duties of the said
Office.

office, in honor of Chief Justice Chase. The
court room itself is heavily draped entirely
around the room. The judicial bench is
