II is announceded in several Eastern
papers, that the President, at an informal
Cabinet meeting held recently, deter
mined to appoint Associate Justice Noah
3 H. Swayne, of Ohio, to succeed the late
y Chief Justice Chase. Justice Swayne is
a virginian by birth, but his home has
been for many years in Ohio. He is one
e of the few Justices of the Supreme Court
6 who was never in Congress. He is now
d in his 6Sth year, and since he was called
to the bar in early life, he has been con-
sidered an earnest and faithful law stud
10 ent. Before receiving the appointment to
d the Supreme Court, he filled the position
l. of United States District Attorney. JUS
N tice Swayne was appointed to the Su-
g preme Court by President Lincoln, Janu-
airy A, 1862 In the celebrated legal
ty tender decision, the Justice was with the
majority. Should the President make this
appointment, he will have departed from
the usual practice of his predecessors.
