THE CHIEF JUSTICE NOMINEE.
Facts About His Life nnd yPrOfc.sional
Career.


Career.
The Washington Republican of the Goth
says of Mr.. Waite:
Mr.. Evarts has written of him to friend
that che is the ablcst man in the law whom
he ever met" which from man of Mr..
Evarts' fame and ability is certainly high
praise.
Not single dissenting voice has thus far
been heard from any respectable quarter.
Both the Ohio Senators speak in the
highest terms of Mr.. Waite's ability and
character. Senator Thurman, before whom
as, Judge Mr.. Waite has argued many cases,
is very complimentary toward the nomina-
ton, and indicates his intention to vote for
confirmation. The members of the Senate
Committee on the judiciary were consult
ed by the President before the nomination
was made, and it is understood to meet
with the cordial approval ofevery member
of the committee.
Mr.. Waite is native of Lyme, Connec-
ticut, and is a son of Chief Justice Waite,
of that State. He was educated at Yale
College, graduating in the class with Mr..
Evarts and Mr.. Edwards Pierrepont. Mr..
Dawes was in college at the same time.
After the completion of his legal studies,
he went from Connecticut to Ohio. This
was the year 1S42. He first commenced
the practice of law at Maumee. After a
brief practice there he removed to Toledo,
where he has ever since resided. He has
been engaged in the practice of the lazy
some thirty or thirty-two years, and is now
about fifty-four or fifty-five years of age.
For the last twenty-five years scarcely a
case of very great importance has been
tried in Northwestern Ohio that Mr.. Waite
has not been engaged as counsel on one
side or the other. His knowledge of the
law extends to all its branches, including
admiralty and constitutional law, in both
of which specialties he has the reputation
of being very strong.

a SAD CASE,

The widow Of Manuel Munos, the man
who was so cruelty murdered in the parish
of Caddo few weeks since by band of
White Leaguers, who falsely accused him
of furnishing arms to the negroes yester-
day visited the State House for the pur-
pose of soliciting aid, and it was sad,
indeed, to hear her story. The loss of
her husband having deprived her of the
means of support given by him, she now
finds herself an object of charity, with
two small children dependent on her own
exertions for support, with a good pros
pect that another will soon add to her
responsibilities. She was not permitted
to leave the State House without being
afforded some means of relief, and it is to
be hoped that further steps will be taken
to assist this unfortunate woman until she
is in condition to help herself.

HON. GEORGE G. BENEAM.

The differences of opinion held by lead
ing Republicans in the seventeenth sena-
torial district of this State, and which
threatened to cripple the party strength
and impair its usefulness have been speed
lily and happily settled. Colonel T. S.
johnson, who was personally popular in
his district, has both wisely and magnani-
mously withdrawn from the contest and
with great good feeling has announced
his intention of supporting Hon. George
c. Benham as a candidate for the State
Senate in the coming campaign. His
election is assured, and that it will be
effected with so much harmony, and with
out party strife, is creditable to all con-
cerned. The Hon. Mr.. Benham is a
young man, popular with his constitu-
ents, and deserving Of their support In
the last session Of the Legislature he rep
resented Carroll parish in the House, and
distinguished himself for his legislative
ability. His integrity was never ques-
toned, and few Representatives have left
for themselves better public record. As
man, his character also stands unim-
peachable. With Senate composed of
men like George C. Benham, Louisiana
can have no cause for complaint, and the
voters of the seventeenth district are to be
congratulated on the selection they have
made,

are false from beginning to end, and vo.
ciferously demsuds the namesuf the wit
nesses. We can not under the circum-
stances comply with this demand, not
outstanding the promise Of our trucu-
lent contemporary that he will furnish US
the guarantee of five hundred white citi-
zens OF Caddo that no harm shall be.all
the informants. In the first place We
doubt whether the editor has such an
acquaintance with and influence over so
many respectable citizens as are named.
And further, if their natural respect for
the laws and good name OF Louisiana is
not sufficient to make them behave them
selves, special guarantee of immunity in
a given case would possess but slight
value.
But while we conceive the Times has
little or no control over the White
Leaguers, except to lead them little
faster into mischief they are already
inclined to, we accept this fat denial OF
that paper to be an indication that the
''war to the outrance" against Republic
ans, which we learn in another part Of the
same paper is soon to be waged, does not
meet with so much enthusiastic approval
as the authors of the manifestoes hoped
it would.
The Republican party is just, and the
negroes are patient and long suffering I'M
der wrong. Yet they may at last be goaded
to desperation and forced to turn OF their
pursuers. In that event, there would be
anything but child's play for time, as it
would be found that the negroes can fight
as well as work. They would undoubt-
eddy have the endurance, muscle and
activity on their side, and desperation will
give them courage. It is difficult to say
whether tue Shreveport Times is influenced
by the above considerations, or whether it
has begun to whitewash its party because
judicious people inform it they are play
ing losing game. A friend at our elbow
suggests by way of joke that possibly the
Times has been seized with fit of love of
right and justice, but the idea is too
absurd. We assure all parties in Cadlo
that the RapU BLIcAS has no desire to
make them out worse than they are,
though if the programme of the White
League is to be carried out, such work
would become at once unnecessary and
impossible.

A FRIEND AT COURT.

General J. r. Beckwith, the United
States district attorney for this judicial
district, left last evening for New York by
way Of Mobile. He goes through by rail
and will visit Washington before return
ing, in order to consult with the President
in regard to the insurrectionary move
ments that are now openly and defantly
going on in many parishes Of the State.
No man knows better than General Beck
with the wicked purposes of the men who
have banded together with view of pre-
venting by repeated acts of violence
fair election this fall He knows
they mean to nullify the reconstruc-
ton laws if they can do SO without
encountering danger, and they feel
that no danger is to be apprehended
from unorganized and unarmed negroes;
and that, unless government comes to the
rescue. it will be an easy matter for them
to kill few hundred laborers and thus
carry the coming election for the Demo-
cratic party. But We are not yet con-
virced that the red-handed Ku-Klux who
are acting in this way will be permitted to
continue their infamous work until they
have accomplished their object. We have
a presentiment that our State and national
authorities will soon take the matter
in hand, and when they shall have
done so we have further presentiment

will hunt their holes even more vigor-
ously than they have pursued their de-
fenseless victims.
