drew from the cavcrnous depths of a capa-

found to be minute or so too slow. With

CHIEF JUSTICE CUSHING President Grant
has nominated Hon. Caleb Cushing as Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, having pre-
riously Withdrawn the name Of Attorney
General Williams. The new appointment
has raised a storm of indignation in the Re
publican camp, where Mr.. Gushing is regard
ed as not quite sound in the faith. We have
very little confidence ourselves in Mr.. Cush-
ing's political steadtastness. He has been
everything by turns and nothing long, but
unlike the majority of tuJncoats has been
unfortunate enough, in most instances to
get on the losing side. He is doubtless as
sincere a Republican now as he was O Dem
ocrat in 1860, when with Ben Butler and
others he seeded from the Democratic Ma
tiOnal Convention, at Front Street Theatre.
Breckenridge and Lane, at the Maryland
Institute; for when the war broke out he be-
came almost as fierce q Union man as Ben
Butler himself. The sympathy of a common
cause that bound those two men together
then, seems to have lasted until now, as
Butler IS one OF his strongest supporters.
The Democrats and Liberal Republicans will
support him, on the ground that they may
go farther and fare worse, with General
Grant, bat Senator Morton and Ben Buffers
enemies in Massachusetts will do their best
to induce the Senate to reject his nomina-
ton.
1t will be recollGclod that Mr.. Cushing
had previously been appointed Minister to
Spain, and was preparing to go lhithu when
appointed Chief Justice.
Later news than the above is TO the eff
feet that Mr.. Cushing wrote letter to Pres
idcnt Grant, asking the withdrawal of his
name, which was done at once. General
Grants next choice for the congressional
slaughter-pen is looked for with curiosity.

fected an entrance by forcing open the cellar
door. The noise they made aroused Mr.

ses frightened them off. Mr.. Parry found
outside of the cellar door ham, several bot
ties of cider, &c, nicely packed up, ready for
transportation also bag containing some
chisels and other implements, which were
probably used in breaking open the door.
These tools arc of no use to Mr. Parry, and
he is extremely anxious to restore them to

them at THE -.dSgis office, where the owner
can get them by furnishing proof of owner
