Upon the resignation of Hon. James
Fen;ress as Chancellor in 1872, HEN
RY j. LIVINGSTON was, at the solicita-
ton of a number of the members of
the bar of this Division, appointed
by the Governor to fill the vacancy so
occasioned until the general election
for county officers on the 9th Of Au-
gust next, at which time all vacancies
IN judicial Offices arc to be filled by
election. The time being now near at
hand when Chancellor LiVingston's
term by appointment Will expire, we
take occasion to say that in our prac-
tice before him as Chancellor we have
found him to possess in a very emf
nent degree the talent and learning
required for that Office. lie is pa
tient and untiring in his labors upon
the bench and in the investigation of
questions arising before him; he
possesses unbOunded energy, and an
executive ability aud management
which insures dispatch of business;
so much so, indeed, that but few
causes are now upon the dockets of
his courts, of long standing. Moth
ing is farther from our desire than in
any case to seem to dictate to the peo-
pie whom they should elect, but as
members of the bar whose business
has brought them so frequently be-
fore Chancellor Livingston, we feel
that it is not only not improper TO
make these statements, but that when
merited we should give testimony to
the worth of judicial officers, and be-
lieving that he has given entire salts
faction to both the bar and the people,
aud that his place could not be better
filled, We earnestly solicit your votes
for his reelection. He left a lucra-
tive practice and has now been upon
the bench a little less than two years,
and we believe a worthy man should
be encouraged; and in addition TO
this he has now acquired familiarity
with the cases upon the dOckets,
which is very essential in Chancery
causes, the-nature of a great many of
which require orders at every court |
for many different terms, and which |
is not only a convenience to the So
licitors and Itigants, but assists very |
materially in the dispatch of business,
resulting in the economy of the pub
lie time and the public money.
Therefore we again ask his election
to the office of Chancellor on the 9th
day of the coming August.

A FEARFUL RIDE.-Among the pas /
sengers on the Louisville train which !
reached Nashville at s 4. m, yester- /
day, was one of whom the conductor /
had taken no note, and who came /.
through free of charge. After the I.
train reached the depot IN this city, a
-begrimed figure crawled from I
the trucks of the sleeping car, and /
staggered out on the platform. 1t
proved to be Bob Dearman, Nash |
vile boy, only sixteen years of age,
who, in answer to the inquiries of by
ISLANDERS, stated that he had ridden all
the way from Louisville in that dan
gerous position. He saip he had gone
to Louisville in search of employment
and finding none, determined to steal
a ride back home, having no money
