THE CIIIEF-JUSTICESHIP.

Grants Views ON the ChieT-Justice
Frnm the CINCINNATI Commercial

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-A canvass
Of the New England Senatorial delega-
ton shows that with the exception Of
Boutwell, and possibly Anthony, they
will vote as unit against the confirm
alton Of Williams. A more extended
canvass Of the entire Senate develops
as little strength for Williams, and that
his defeat Is considered foregone.
Many Senators express the hope that
his nomination Will be withdrawn, and
that the President Will send in WI
liams' name for appointment as a for
eign Minister. They say that he
would be readily confirmed for such a
place, but that he viii not do for Chief
Justice. Senator Carpenter, who OPP
poses the confirmation vigorously, is
understood to be, in doing so, fair
representative Of the lawyers Of the
Senate who have practiced, and do
practice before the Supreme Court.
They all know Williams, and have so
poor an opinion of his legal abilities
that they can not vote TO confirm him.
Benjamin Butler, who, strangely
enough, has not seemed to be IN this
muddle, Is saidto have prevented Grant
from nominating Z. lockwood Hoar
for the place.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3i.-The Presi-
dent recently gave his views in a very
emphatic form on the question of APP
pointing any member of the Supreme
Court rs Chief-Justice. He was asked
by a gentleman delegated to cOmmuni-
cate with him regarding the matter,
whether. in case Mr.. Williams should
be rejected, the appointment was likely
10 go to any member of the Court,
and, if SO, whether communication
from the Justices m regard TO the mat
teTwOuld have any effect on the decision.
The President replied very decidedly
IN the negative, and went on to say that
he was. opposed on principle TO a selec-
ton from the bench. He thought when
a lawyer was appointed Justice of the
Supreme Court, and assumed the duties
Of the Office, he ought to consider that
be had reached the height of his am
bitIon; that he vas cOnsecIatcd 10 la
bors in the most exalted place of the
nation, and ought to settle himself to
this life-work with a determination TO
abandon all other ambitions for politi-
cal preferment among his fellows. The
President continued to express his oh.
jections to appointing from the bench,
ard in such terms as to convince those
who had approached him on the sub
ject that his mind was umairerabiy
made up not to appoint any one of the
present Justices in case the Senate OBJ
jects to Mr.. Williams.

How Fortune Was Made ana Lost
FIGHT OVER THE PALATiAL RESIDENCE OF
AN Ex-wALL STREET MILLIONAIRE.
New York Tribuue. ,


The Dimmock mansion, on Broad street
Elizabeth, New Jersey, is generally recog
niEed as one of the most magnificent OF
well as costly private residences in the
states. 1t was begun in 1871, or therea-
bouts, and cost Anthony w. Dimmock, the
once well known Wall street millionaire,
between S400, 900 and $500, 900. His failure
IN 1872 left the house still unfinished, and
ancumbered with mortgages. Recently the
matter has been thrown into the hands of
2. Master in Chancery, who is taking tes-
timony as to the rights and preferences of
having large claims against this property
is Mr. Purdy, builder of this city. He
did the interior wood work, and has put In
Die bill at $50, 900, and has taken a lien on
the premises. Another New Yorker, Mr..
Jacobos, holds o mortgage of $4,000 on
OF claim between him and Mr.. Purdy prom
ises to be vexed one. Besides these two
claimants is the Mutual Benefit Insurance
Company OF Newark, N. j., which holds a
mortgage of $4,000. The present owner
OF the equity is DR.. Rowan of Philadel-
uation of $3.50 600, exchanging for it vari.
cue properties of nominal values. The
mansion in question 10 of brown stone, is
three stories in height, aud is octagonal in
shape. At the time it was commenced A.
w. Dim mock, although bnt thirty five or
ss''s Soais vi age, was one OF the |!
lions Of Wall street. At the age of nineteen |
no commenced business in this city in the |
banking house of II. G.. Maynard, and |
worked the first year for $3.50. In 1852 !
ms business tact led him into speculation |
10 god, and so successful were his ventures
that he withdrew from the house of May
nard and established the firm of A. w.
Dimmock g. Co. He is said to have cleared
$5OO, 600 IN one day during the rise of gold
after the battle of Fredericksburg. In an
evil heur be invested the greatest portion
OF large fortune in the Atlantic Mail
Steamship Line, but through the with
arawal Of Daniel Drew and others, who
were In the pool, the stock deprecated SO
rapidly that his losses, in one day, reached
sl 100000! By disposing of his vast es-
tate at Tarrytown he settled with his
Creditors and began anew, but getting a
controlling interest in the same line of ,
steamships followed by long train of mis-
haps, irretrievably ruined him, and in 1879
ne retired from Wall street. Previous to I
his last failure he purchased 300 acres of !
land in Elizabeth and erected thereon I
large number of elegant villas, and finished ]
oy putting up the palatial residence men,
Toned, which, like the others, are in liti-
cation among his numerous creditors.
