considered desirable, he is still vigorous In
body and mind In one respects the appoint
ment might be regarded as an instance OF
political magnanimity in Gen. Grant, for
Mr.. Cushing, 40 far az he has any
political convictions, has been opposed
to every Republican Administration which
he has assisted with his adroit and
skillful counsel. But this nomination goes be-
yond the line of justfable tolerance. Coming
from an Administration which has been kept
in power solely because it's supporters believed
that any change would ondanger the results
of the war, this ia an extraordinary choice.
Simply because he is q familiar and service
able friend, Gen. Grant proposes to place at
the head of the Supreme Court, to decide
upon questions involving the national SOW
ereignty and the civil rights acquired by the
war and consecratcd by the late amendments
to the Constitution, a prO-Slavery Democrat,
whose last public function was that of Frank
lin Pierces Attorney General, and whose views
have been VIGOROUSLY in opposition to those
by virtue of which the war was carried on,
Slavery WAS destroyed, and the rights of clti-
zenshp extended to all classes of Americans.
When Mr.. Gushing was nominated as Min
lister to Spain, the country was agreeaby sur
prised as it always is when Gen. Grant places
in an important position man OF good abili-
ties and reasonable reputation. The appoint
ment was not free f1Om objections, but on the
whole it was good one, and we thanked the
President for it. But it was a mistake to con-
clude that because Mr.. Gushing would make
a good Envoy he was therefore the man for
Chief Justice. Gen. Grant would not say that
because a man was fair COmmssary he
would therefore make a good General.
Mr.. Cushing is not our greatest
lawyer He has not a first-rate reputation
as man of fixed and conscientious
convictions. He does not possess IN the cOun-
try the high prestige and public confidence
which should never be absent from exalted
judicial station. He has always been I'M
friendly to those great fundamental princi-
pies upon which the national integrity was
preserved through four years of war, and he
has never given his adhesion to those constr
tutional guarantees by which the results of the
war were secured. He is therefore not the
man whom the President should appoint and
the Senate confirm as Chief-Justice of the
United States.

ilarity to the cry of Stop thief" which the
thief himself raises when he sees that the
crowd Me looking about, and that it is neces-
sary to direct attention from himself to avoid
detection. There IS more hope in the call
which Mr.. Dawes made on the Secretary OF
the Treasury at the commencement of the
session for information as to m0leties and
penalties, and how they have been distributed,
and we trust that there are sufficient number
of bold and patriotic men in both branches
of Congress who will see to 1T that no Old and
stale plea of detriment to the pub
"Ic interest," shall be allowed to shield
the Treasury from giving all the information
that the public now wants but has never got.
We trust also, that in any event we shall
speedily have such legislation that Speclai
Agent Jayne may have no such demand made
upon his time hereafter by the Government as
will prevent his giving uninterrupted atten-
ton TO the erection of fine blocks of buildings
in Ithaca; or from meditatlng In his eie-
CANT city home on the fallibility of poor human
nature, and the almost insuperable difficulties
of collecting the revenue. And as assisting to
such desirable issues, we suggest that all per-
sons who have in any way been threatened or
mulcted by the Custom-house Ring, or the in
dependent rowing special commission ior re-
covering money for the United States, pro-
yided for in the act of May g. 1872, at once

gress in whom they have confidence

THE PRESIDENTS SECOND CHOICE

One would naturally have thought that it
would be impossible for Gen. Grant not to
profit by the lesson he received from his
misadventure with the nomination of Judge
Williams 1t is rare that any President ever
has occasion to receive so salutary and 80
friendly an admonition. There was no Op-
portunity for him to say that any personal or
partisan prejudice entered into the opposition
which that nomination elected A public
opinion, on the whole friendly to the President,
made itself known so decidedly that it reached
and impressed the Senate of the United
States the most Obedient and unquestioning
body since the days of the Lower Empire,
and made those trusty men-at arms at first
hesitate and at last refuse to do the bidding
of their commander chief. When he had
exhausted the resources at his disposal, he
withdrew the nomination, not in compliance
with the popular demand, not in acknowledge
ment of the grave error he had committed,
not even to save his political friends and
adherents from damage and scandal, but
because Judge Williams himself requested it,
knowing he could not be confirmed.
We opposed the confirmation of Mr.. Will
liams without the least regard to those mat
tiers of detail which he calls calumnies. We
have not thought them worth considering or
investigating. They were not to be compared,
in Importance, with the objection which ought
TO have been at once conclusive and vital with
the Senate-that Mr.. Williams was not a man
of sufficient legal ability or weight of personal
character to be nominated or confirmed to the
highest and most dignifed position in the
country-it is not too much to say in the
world. The Senate should not have hesitated
an instant to let the President know that he
could not be permitted to treat this august
Office as his personal property, to be given in
satisfaction of political debts or private friend
ship. They delayed SO long, they hesitated with
such endless timidity over the matter, that
when at last the President was forced to
withdraw the nomination, the only impression
made upon his mind was that sury and uned-
flying sense of having been thwarted, which
promised badly for his second choice. he did
not take his Christening kindly. He seemed
to harbor resentment against all those stainless
and able jurists like Evarts, Curtis, and HOar,
whose names had spontaneously come to all
lips as fitted for selection. He would not even
consider any of those among the Senators
of whom he had formerly thought. As
if he should say, "YOu would not give me
"my choice, and you shall not have your
town." he sent in the unexpected and incon-
eruous name of Caleb Cushing.
This is nomination hardly less objection
able than the frst-though for widely different
reasons. No one questions the learning, the
intelligence, or the legal acumen of Mr.. Cush
ing His career has been busy and con-
spicuous one. Although too far advanced in
years to give to tho Chief Justiceship that
prospect of stability which has generally been
