The telegraph reports that President

The telegraph reports that President
Grant has made his selections for the Of
flee Of Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, and that the crminc so lately worn
by Chase, is to fall upon the shoulders OF
George H. Williams of Oregon The Of
flee which is thus conferred upon one who
| to say the least has not been rendered con-
| spicuous by his ability, is one which in
many respects outweighs that of Presi-
| dent of the United States This incumbent
is supposed to possess in the highest de-
gree vigorous intellect, legal knowledge
and judicial eNperience-to which should
be added personal integrity beyond ques-
ton. He is the associate and head of men
selected from all the nation to be the in
terpreters of the laws and the judicial adj
viserS OF the government. The man en-
titled to fill such a position should be by
his eminent qualifications so conspicuous
as to silence all question OF cavl That

But there does not attach those attributes
which draw to him all eyes as the occu-
pant of an office which is supposed to be
pervaded by profound legal lore, and to
deal out undoubted justice.

emigrated to Oregon, where he was for

The people Of Ban COR and all connected
with the interests of the upper Penobscot
are getting excited over the petition OF
the shore line Railroad Co., for leave &c
bridge the Penobscot at Bucksport. A
Bangor correspondent Of the Portland
Press says of this matter
Amy talk of building bridge over the Pc
nobscot below Bangor is senseless. The vast
and important extent of country whose natural
outlet for heavy treights is the Penobscot River,
would never suffer the navigation to be in any
way lmpeded. ANY such proposition submitted
to the Legislature would be killed at once If
the road Is built, As seems likely, it must con-
meet with the Bangor and BuckSport road and
thus terminate at Bangor.
This is precisely the kind Of argument
that the people OF Belfast made in regard
to the charter for bridging their outlet 10
the ocean, We could not talk of so large
an amount Of business passing out of our
harbor, but the proposed bridge woulc as
seriously impede what we have as Ban
gors would be impeded by the Bucksport
bridge. 1t is the principle that governs
the matter, properly. A railroad company
should have no more power to run its road
without consent through the cottage of
Tom Jones the laborer, than through the
mansion of Cottonbags the millionaire. If
a bridge at Bucksport impedes the lumber
trade OF Bangor, and the granting of it
would be a wrong, why Cypress the
produce trade of Belfast by similar means ?
These may be found difficult questions to
answer, but they will suggest themselves
to every fair mind
we >ll'tll "atch TINS new bridge question
with curiosity and interest If the bridge
is granted Bangor that did so much to
AID the proposed Belfast bridge, will be
come 4 fellow sufferer and sympathizer.
Should the petition not be granted, we
shall be furnished by our up-river friends
with some strong and convincing argu-
ments against the policy and right of bridg-
ing water highways. 10 be used when the
Bay and River Roadapplies for an extension
Of its time to build. When the fight opens

arena and be happy.

ment for fear Of themselves, the Nc
Emery revolutionists became daily
more arrogant, and in several parishes
organized armed forces to resist the
officers Of the law in the performance
of their duties and prevent the collec-
ton of taxes. This ominous move
ment convinced Mr.. Kellogg that
argument and reason were thrown
away upon the enemies of the Gov
eminent, so the Metropolitan Militia
with their effective Winchester rifles
ard Napoleon cannon were invoked
by his executive order to nip the bud
of treason in its infancy and avert
repetitions Of the Grant parish mas
sacre.
Detachments of the militia have
been successfully sent to St. Helena,
Tangipahoa and Livingston parishes,
where fears Of outbreaks were enter
tanned, and although the belligerent

ed themselves the most harmless and
peaceable mortals in existence. In
the three parishes named the officers
commissioned by Governor Kellogg
were installed without opposition and
no further riotous demonstrations on
the part of the Fusionists are antici-
pated. ....... .......
The rebels Of st. Mary, Iberia and
st. Martin parishes next demanded
the attention Of Gov. Kellogg. That
section was fast drifting into state
Of anarchy and open rebellion. Two
Republican newspaper Offices had been
mobbed, persons commissioned by
McEnery held possession of the paro-
chial Offices and refused to give them
up to the rightful claimants, armed
bands Of men were parading the
country and threatening the lives Of
persons loyal to the legal Govern
ment. A force of 1875 Metropolitans,
under command Of Brig. Gen. A. s.
Badger, was dispatched to the Teche
region yesterday, taking with them
the 12-pound field piece that spread
such sudden dismay through the mob
that attacked the Second Precinct Po-
lice Station in New Orleans last March.
After hating short time at the town
Of Franklin and regulating matters
there, they will proceed to New Iberia
and st. Martinsville.
We wish the militia the same COM
plete success in future movements for
the suppression of rebellion that has
their initial efforts, and we
also thank Gov. Kellogg for the dccis-
i've measures he has taken to vindicate
the ability of his Government to es-
tablish and maintain itself.
