Hon. Caleb Cushing.

This distinguished gentleman has had an
unusual prominence thrust upon him lately.
He was appointed Minister to Spain only, a
few weeks ago, and shortly afterwards the
President nominated him for Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court. His nomination was
warmly received for both positions, and at the
outset there seemed to be no difficulty as to his
elevation to the high position of Chief Justice.
But only brief delay Of his continuation by
the Senate aroused a bitter and relentless oppo,,
stion from Republican leaders, who charged
that he was not loyal to the Union, and in
fact sympathized with the Confederate States
in their efforts to erect an independent gov
ernment. Once he was assailed, and there
were numberess objections to his confirmation.
Senator Sumner and Gen. Butler, of Massa-
chusetts, were among the most prominent of
his friends, and it is vaguely hinted that Butler
concocted the scheme and secured the nomina-
ton of Cushing, only to bring President Grant
into disrepute with his own party: A friendly
letter from Gen. Cushing to his former friend,
Ex-President Davis, recommending a young
man to the confidence and esteem of Mr.. Da-
Wis, was exhumed from the archives of the late
Confederacy, and made to do yeoman service in
efecting the defeat of President Grants second
nomination for Chief Justice. The President
thereupon withdrew the nomination, which
had been made without the knowledge of Gen.
Cushing, and after the receipt of a letter from
Gen. c., requesting the withdrawal of his
name The full particulars of these occur
rcnces in Washington are given in this issue.

Another Nominee for Chief Justice.

AuUlLcI NOlHlllOO lOI Slll0l ouot1CC.
President Grant has made the third nomina-
tion for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
and this time he has selected Hon. Morrison
R. Waite, of Ohio, who is comparatively un-
known to the country, and is not open to the
objection of an undue participation in political
affairs A dispatch from Washington, dated
Jan. 10Th, furnishes the following informa-
ton:
The nomination of Morrison R. Waite, OF
Ohio, to be Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. was surprise to Senators and all
others about the Capital, including the JUS
tices of the Supreme Court, but it did not oc-
casion the same degree Of wonder as when
Caleb Cushing's name was transmitted for the
same office. Subsequently, the Senate, in ex-
ecutiyc session, referred the nomination to the
Committee on the Judiciary, who will proba-
bly tomorrow report favorably upon it, Many
injuries were made as to the standing of this
gentleman, he not having national reputation,
but being the best known in the State of which
he is a citizen. The nomination recalled the
fact that he acted as one of the counsel at the
Geneva Tribunal of Arbitration, and some of
the Senators were acquainted with him, as an
able LAWYER of thirty years standing in Ohio.
Although Republican, he is not an active
partisan. and is at the present time President
of the Ohio Constitutional Convention. 1t was
discovered, on looking at the Supreme Court
record, that year ago tomorrow, Mr.. Waite
was, on motion of Caleb Cushing, admitted to
the bar of the Court as an attorney. Contrary
to report. Mr.. Waite never held a judgeship in
Ohio Senators of both parties speak we'll of
the nomination, and there seems to be no doubt
Of the confirmation.

United States Senators.

There has been an exciting contest in Vlr-
einia over the nomination for United States
Senator by the Conservative caucus of the
Legislature, which was equivalent to an elec-
ton. The successful candidate is Col. Robert
2. Withers. who defeated Hon. r. NJ. T. Hun
ter on the ffty-seventh ballot. The nomlna-
tion of Mr.. Hunter would have evoked more
general satisfaction outside of Virginia, be-
cause of his legislative experience and great
abilities. Col. Withers is comparatively un-
known to the country, and possesses only a
meagre claim to craftsmanship. He was a
Gallant officer of the Confederate army, and
was severely wounded at Gaines Mill, from the
effect Of which he is not yet entirely recovered
He has edited several newspapers since the
war. in which he showed readiness and facility
as journalist. At the Conservative Conven-
ton in August last, he was prominent candl
date for Governor, but was forced to give way
soGen. Kemper, and afterwards persuaded to
accept the nomination for Lieutenant Cover
nor, to which position he was elected.
Hon. Allen G. Thurman has been reelected
Senator from Ohio, which is one of. the conse-
euences of the Democratic triumph in that
State in October last. Mr.. Thurman is gal
liant and fearless representative of the Democ-
macy, and is able to cope Intellectually with
the most talented Of the Republican leaders.
The political character of the United States
Senate is gradually changing, though the
process is exceedingly slow. There are now
forty-six administration Republicans, while
the opposition, including the Liberal Republi-
cans, numbers twenty-eight Senators. The
administration can count on working MAORI
ty, though not two-thirds, provided the recent
conduct of the President does not estrange the
SUPERFICIAL element.

- In North Carolina the tax collectors gar

- One of the largest rewards ever offered in
the United States is contemplated in a bill
which has passed the California Legislature
authorizing the Governor to pay fifteen thou
sand dollars for the capture of a brigand
named Vasquez and his band.
- The trustees of the Washington National
Monument Fund, at meeting held on Thurs
day, at Washington, appointed a committee to
take charge of the association before Congress,
with view to immediate action in the House
of Representatives, by which an appropriation
of 5000, 900 to aid in the completion of the
monument is recommended.
- Among other recommendations of Super
intendent Jillson, in his late excellent report,
he suggests that the State appropriation be
apportioned to the school attendance, that a
more rigid examination of teachers be exact
ed, and that the funds belonging to the County
for school purposes be retained by the Treasu-
rer. This last will obviate the present delay in
the payment Of teachers.

Exorbitans Freight Charges.

The trade and business of Anderson is suf-
fering from exorbitant freight charges over the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad, from points
connecting with the Air Line Railroad. The
excessive charges are supplemented by an utter
want of accommodation in the transfer of
freiphts at Greenville, for instance, by which
DELAYS ensue to the detriment of private inter-
ests. We have been greatly inconvenienced
recently by the non-reception OF supply Of
printing paper, shipped from Atlanta five weeks
ago. and which did not arrive until Tuesday
evening last, although we made diligent effort
through the mails, railroad aud express agents,
to hasten its arrival A leading and response
BE firm in this town shipped car load of
-Four from Atlanta, the freight upon which was
s35 from Atlanta to Greenville, a distance of
159 miles. The freight upon this car load of
aour was S4S from Greenville to Anderson, a
distance of 35 miles by railroad. We might
enumerate many instances to prove the exces-
sive charges and vexatious delays, but these
will suffice to show the unjust discrimination
against the interests of Anderson. One might
suppose that the quickest and cheapest metnoo
of obtaining freights from Atlanta to Anderson
would be via Seneca City, but the existing ar
rangements prevent any shipments that way,
as there is no transfer agent at Seneca City
provided by either railroad. The merchants
and business men of Anderson are made to
suffer by these extravsgant rates of freight,
while the delay and Inconvenience inAiet an
additional loss upon them. Is there no remedy
for this state of things2 Are we to become
the victims of q grinding monopoly, whose
snteresss are considered paramount to the
interests and advantages of the people? We
want legislation in this State to prevent dis
elimination and excessive charges. What are
termed "local rates" should more nearly con-
form to Through rates" than at present, and
should be regulated by law. Other communi-
ties are likewise suffering from the action of
other railroads, and it would be we'll for a
General movement against the extrayagant de-
nands of these souless corporations.

Eiohth Judicial Circuit.

The Greenville Republican states that the
Act passed at the extra session Of the Leglsla-
tufe, altering the time of holding the Courts
II, the Eighth Circuit, provides that the Gener.
alsessions and Common Pleas shall be opened
on the same day, and remain open during the
entire term. Under the old law, the Court OF
Common Pleas could not be opened before
"wednesday, and was not usually opened until
the Sessions closed. The advantage of the
present system is, that should the Sessions
business not be sufficient to engage the atten-
ton of the Court, the civil business can be
proceeded with at any time. The bill author
iizing the above changes was introduced at the
suggestion of Judge Cooke.
