THE VACANT JVDGESHIP,

The lawyers have had their " resolve
upon tho vacant U. S. Judscship and
would it not now be well for the people
to have their say: Tho lawyers may
be able to pass upon the qualifi-
cations of one of their brethcrcn for
the position, in a legal point Of view,
but the judges qualifications for int-gr,-
~ and honesty can more properly be
passed upon by tho voters. 1t may
possibly have been that the lawyers say
was to much relied upon at the time De-
lahay was appointed if SO, their recon-
mendation have como to naught. There
arc lawyers in the State who have the
confidence of the masses, and petitions
in their favor can be easily gotten up.
We look upon the petition of county
bars rs significant of nothing; as "pro-
fessional courtesy" is liable too often
to govern them. In these days, when
the people have more to say about such
matters that was formerly tho case. a
free expression Of their opinion upon
the proper man for the vacant place
would be Just and proper.

Winter Grazing.

EDITORS JOURNAL: The great de-
sideratum for the growers Of live stock
in Kansas, is something that will i'm
prove their facilities for winter grazing.
In this connection, wish to direct at
tention to the following:
An intelligent observer, writing from
San Jose, California, under date of Dec.
18th, to Cincinnati paper, states case
there in these terms:
ARRIVING not long ago, through fields
brown and bare, We came to ono that
was as green As in early spring. This
farmer 1 said, 'mast irrigatc Ms land
No., said my companion, 'it is not irri-
gated-it is ALFALFA
Alfalfa is a species of clover, made by
the Creator for countries that suffer
from long droughts. Its growth is rank.
When once rooted, il is as hard to exter-
inmate as Canada thistlcr. II flourishes
month after month, without rain or dew
1t yields from three to five crops Of hay
a year, or pasturase in proportion.
What is the secret Of tho alfalfa? 1t
has fibrous .yoots that penetrate the soil
to a great depth, and finds the moisture
that is stored away therc. Each hollow
fi!ament is miniature artcsian well, bor-
ing down until i: reaches water, which
comes up by capillary attraction TO sup
ply the thirsty plant. 1t iourishes in
spite of heat and droaght because of
those penetrating roots. 1t is claimed
by many, that this alfalfa is going 70 rev.
o!utionizs the business of farming and
stock raising in California; and that il
will DO greater blessing to the state
than summer rains"
do not vouch for these statements,
not hoving had experience with thi. new
clover; but is there not enough in them
to justify immediate and careful expert
ment upon the soil Of Kansas, in the hops
that abundant and nutritious pasturase
may be secured Tor the fall and winter
grazing! Will not some of the seed
men OF Salina put the alfalfa seed upon
the market, for early seeding:

liable to be clothed is tattcrs and rags

can be made to pay if the conscience
can assume the hardness Of flint. The
coroner Of Brooklyn, n. Y, has discov.

that no one else has had the sagacity

Oh tho following charges: That num-
bers Of fictitious inquests have been
made that the inquest papers have boon
made out on physicians certificates,
and charged for as if inqucsts had been
held on the bodies, and furthermore that
within three years six hundred and
twenty three bogus cases of small pox
have been charged for. We hope tina.
this new way of making fees in this Of

ton of them, at all events, are in favor
OF this action. As there is something
of prospect for vacancy, there is, OF
course, plenty Of candidates for thePo-
sition. Among those mentioned, Mr..
John Wilson, son Of tho Senator from
Dickinson county, once associated with
his father in the publication of the Abb
lcne Chronicle, seems to be the best man.
He is a young man Of fine ability and
would fill the Office well. The newspa-
pea fraternity should give him ga lift !"
and help him through. Being Western
man, he will probably draw good sup
mort from tho Western Senator's.

(Mr. Crowthor) last wiatcr, and have cx-
pressed an intention to rcorganixs that

before the convention could b held, or

By that time, or before, it is confident.
" anticipated by everybody, the strin-
gcncy OF the present time will have pass
ed away, and the force of the financial
objection greatly weakened, if not des-
troyed entirely.

ing it would not be actually saved to the
tax payers of the state in q very few
years, if not the FIRST year Of the opera
tiOa of those notifications.
Our government, in all its branches,
especially in county and township, has
become unnecessarily cumbersome. We
have a good many more officials than
are necessary for the administration OF
the functions Of good government, and
our system OF salaries and fees has be-
come burdensome. We believe that a
convention could be held at an expense
of fifty thousand dollars, and that our
government could be simp!iied to de.
gree that would save at least that
amount Of money in taxes, every year
thereafter.
In the matter OF biennial sessions
alone, the saving would amount to many
thousands OF dollars in addition to the
money saved by simplifca,ion aud the
reduction Of the number Of officials and
perquisites, while tho quality of govern
ment obtained could not fail TO be i'm
proved; certainly not weakened.-Spr-

The case Of Samuel c. Pomcroy, late.
~ q Senator of the United States, and
now indicted for bribery, was called for
trial on Monday in the District Court of
Shawnee county, Kansas, and by con-
sent OF counsel continued until the first
Monday in January, the witnesses for
the prosecution not being present. In
the mean time, = great excitement has
been caused By new developments Of a
scandalous character. II is ropo, ted
that Pomeroy has been the victim Of a
game more unfeeling even tAan iha;

OF the kind appear in the records of the

The VILE Ou Hare.

The London papers of the 9Th, reeciv-
ed, contain the official report Of Captain
Robertson, of the Loeb Erne, which
sunk the steamer Vile du Uavre, as fol-
lows:
Nov. %, 1873, 2 a. m.-La,itudc 46
ceg, 81 min. north, longitude 33 deg.
west, wind s. S. w., ship braced up on
port tack, headed by standard compass
n. w. by W. W. one-half, u true steam
ers masthead was seen from one to two
points on tho port bow. Our side light,
out and burning brightly. Shortly at
ter We saw the steamers three lights.
She was coming straight for US. Al
most Immediately the steamer showed
only her port and masthead lights, and
was stcaring apparently to pass
our stern. After short time We
rung our bell and ported helm, as we
thought she was coming too near, tho
steamer still showed only her port light.
When close TO the bow the steamer
helm was starboarded and she was across
our bow. A collision was inevitable.
The order was given to back our after
yards, but before the braces could be let
20 the two vessels came in collision, the
Loeb Erne striking the steamer amid
ship.
The ships Immediately separated. We
threw our after yards aback; part of
the crew then shortened the sail and the
remainder cleared away the port and life
boats. The carpenters, being at the
pumps, reported that the ship was max
in. no water, and then went forward and
found the bowsprit gone and the bow
smashed completely in, but the bulk
head was apparently uninjured. A
boat from the Vile du Havre then came
alongside containing an officer and four
men. / asked if the steamer was much
injured. He said she was injured but
did no, say she wanted assistance. As
no signals OF distress were made BY the
steamer, thought at the time the beat
was sent to render assistance, but while
talking about it saw the steamer appa-
rently settled down and lowered the
port life boat nj once in charge OF the
second officer and four men, who made
towards the sinking ship. Our cutter
and starboard life boat were then clear
ed away and in a few minutes dispatched
10 the scene Of the catastrophe, their on
" guide being the cries of drowning
people.
The steamer having disappeared, We
kept out Ill; daylight I'LL every one float
ing among the wreck was picked mp.
We succeeded in saving 81 persons out
of 500, many having gone down with
the steamer. Tho Vile du Havre only
fioatcd about fifteen minutes after being
struck.

A Constitutional CouveAiion.

The calling Of Convention for the
revision of the State Constitution is a
project that has been much discussed
during the past year or two, especially
during the late canvass. 1t has been
generally conceded that there is need of
such Convention-that the State has
outyrown the present Constitution to
that degree that its sufficient amcndaiion
BY the Legislature has become imprac,i-
cable, and nothing short Of thorough
revision, by Convention called for that
purpose, can secure such correction As
the public sentiment Of the time de-
naRds.
A very strong argument against the
calling Of such . convention, at this
time, 10 the heavy expense that it would
impose upon the people while business
of all branches is depressed, money
scarce, and general hard times prevail
ing. 1t is not generally known, how
ever, that, should the legislature call
such . convention daring the coming
session, it will be nearly or fully two
years before tho convention could be
held, bot such is the fact. The provis-
ion OF the consultation on that subject is
as follows:
Sec. .. Whenever two-thirds Of the
members elected to each branch OF the
legislature shall think II necessary 10 call
4 convention TO revise, amend or change
this constitution, they shall recommend
TO tie electors 10 vote At the next cleo
ton of members to the legislature, fer
or against a convention; and II major
ity Of all the electors voting At such slcc-
ton shall have voted for Convention.
the Legislature shall, At the next session
provide for calling the same.
That is, this session submits the prop
os,,ioa to the people. They vote upon
il in November next, year hence. II
adopted, the next winters session likes

ton, which must Of necessity be go II
