Among politicians, lawyers, statesmen
and jurists, the all absorbing question of
the hour is who is to be chief justice of the
supreme court Of the United States ? SEN
ators are keenly alive to its consideration,
while members of the lower house Of con-
gress seriously ponder over it. We doubt
if a President of the United States ever
found himself in the condition, in rcfcrancc
to an appointment, in which General Grant
is placed. Try his best, he cannot suit the
Senate, the politicians or the people. Every
one, be he an official or one of the sOver-
eign people, is giving this matter the gravest
thought. And well they may 1t is net
simply matter Of who shall fill the seat
occupied by John Jay, John Rutedgc, Oil
yer Ellsworth, John Marshall, Roger b.
fancy and Salmon p Chase. If, how
ever, this was all there was of it, those in
whom the appointment rcsts-the President
and Senate-might well pause and ask
themselves whether it was fit or decent to
allow that seat-thus occupied from time
to time, and from the very foundation of
the government almost to the present day
to be filled by man less learned in law
and craftsmanship, less honored and re
spected by the people, and with "A charac-
ter inferior to theirs in spoiless integrity.
The office involves higher and more import
ant considerations than, even, these. The
man, thus to be appointed, will have the
in, , aartn In ,l.,,.
make laws. A law, as it may be termed,
which infringcs upon the constitution, is
not law il is simply nothing Until pro-
nounced unconstitutional by the proper tr-
bunal, however, it must be obeyed and re-
spected as law. In divided court, the
opinion of one man may, aad often does,
decide an important question. The con-
stitutlonaliiy of measure may he thus de-
cided, and the man, to be appointed, may
hold such question in the hollow of his
hand. We all know that the opinion of
one judge pronounced the legal tender act
unconstitutional, and that that act would
have remained without force, have unset
tied the business of the country, and caused
mcasuleless rum ana disaster, but for an
increase OF the number of judges, who held
to different opinion, and, consequently,
made the final, binding decision otherwise.
These considerations, and others that
might be mentioned, naturally makes the
position one of great importance. The UNI
fortunate nominations made by the Presi-
dent, and the manner in which they have
been received, has attracted more than
usual attention to the subject, and has
given rise to vast number of propositions
and suggestions in reference to the Office
itself, as well as caused the mention of
number of names for the place. One pro-
position is that Congress shall abolish the
office of "chief justice" There is very
strJng argument in favor of such course,

McCurdy of Branch Mills, China Maine,
was found in the curlyiug shop of Daniel

SOvcrcigns of Industry.

This is the new secret organization Just
started as a sort of auxiliary to the Patrons
of llusbandry, and intended to give other
people than farmers a chance to unite with
the rising new party. The first local or
ganization in New England has been
formed at Springfield The headquarters
are to be in Worcester, where the president
Mr. VIM. II. Earle, resides, and where its
secretary, Mr. j. c. Abbott, whose name
has become familiar as the organizer of
oranges of the Patrons of Iiusbandry in
this section, is to take up his residence at
once. 1t is expected that this new organ
ization will be to the mechanics Of the east
what its ally is to the farmers Of the west,
but has failed to become in New England.
Its declared purpose is the bringing Of pro-
duccrs and consumers into closer contact,
and the supply Of the ncccssalics of life
to members without the increased expense
attaching to the army Of middle-men who,
it is asserted, now absorb large part OF
the profits of industry which rightfully be-
longs 10 the producers OF Mr. Earle, its
head, the Worcester Ga-cfte says "IIc

Obituary.
EPHRAIM BUTTRICK,

Ephraim Buttrick, Esq, died in Cam
bridge on Tuesday, at the age of 80 years.
Although Mr.. Buttrick had, for twenty
years, been retired from all participation
in active life, and so had passed pretty
much out Of the vision Of the community,
yet there are many who can well remember
him as he was for the thirty previous
years, active, industrious and faithful in
the discharge of his duty, and, as lawyer,
occupying quite space in the public eye.
Mr.. Buttrick was graduated at Harvard
College in the class Of 1919. Shortly be
fore his college commencement he was
selected by President Kirkland for a
tutorship in the family of General Harrison
at North Bend, Ohio. He accepted the APP
pointment and spent nearly year in the
family Of Gen. Harrison, toward whom hc
always preserved feelings Of warm attach.
ment Upon completing this service he re-
turned to New England and began the study
of the law with Mr., aftcrward chief jus.
ticc and governor. Williams of Vermont
and still later was II student in the office of
Mr. Samuel Hoar Of Concord and in the
office of Judge Fay of Cambridge Mr..
Buttrlck had no taste for public life; nor
indeed was he by Temperament adapted TO it.
His whole active career was devoted to the
practice Of the law, to which he gave his
utmost undivided attention He was, for
the period in which he practiced, especially
skilled and Informed in equity iurispru-
dencc, that department of the law hav
ing received but little attention in
Massachusetts until within few years, and
since his retirement from the bar. AS n
counsellor Mr.. Buttrick was sound and dis

Lincoln county last month. 1t appears
that on the LIST Of December party OF
Texan dcspcradOcs visited resort of the
demi-monde in the town of Pacitas, Gre
atcd disturbance and used revolvers free
ly. A constable of the town, Juan Mar
tin, ordered the rufilans to dcsist, where
upon they riddled him with bullets. Mar
tins posse returned the fire and killed three
of the desperadocs The remainder fled to
the rancho of the Herald brothers, about
six miles distant, where, about three DAYS
later, they killed two farmers. A day or
two after this affair Sheriff Miller, with a
pOssee of twenty men, went to Herald's
rancho to arrest the murderers, but was
met by fifty well armed men and forced to
retreat. a few days subsequent to this,
and while wedding party was in progress
at the residence of Isadore Patross, in the
some neighborhood, the same gang of dcs-
perad1cs surrounded the house, burst in
the doors and windows, and commenced an
indiscriminate firing upon the men, women
and children assembled there. Six men
were killed on the spot and four women
seriously, perhaps MORALLY wounded. The
assassns then fled to their strongholds,
where they still defy the authorities. The
matter was reported to the Governor by
the probate judge and justice Of the peace,
the only judicial authorities of the county,
who declared their inability to make arrests.
but up to the time this letter was written
the Governor was not known to have taken
any action.

THE WoRKMoMEN's DEMONSTRATION. The
report which we publish in another part of
this paper of the demonstration in this city
yesterday of unemployed workingmen
abounds in matter which may well command
tho thoughtful attention not only of our city
authorities, but of every statesman, politician,
legislator and philanthropist through the
length and breadth of the land. How is it
that in the most prosperous and productive
country in the world-in this country where
the general demand for labor still far exceeds
the supply-how is it that in this city there
should be hundred thousand men without
employment and large bodies in the same
unfortunate situation in all the cities of the
Union2 This is perplexing problem. But how
are these large bodies of idle men and their
suffering families to be relieved? is the main
question. We think, too, it can be solved
with general movement in the right direction,
and to the consideration of such movement
the attention of our law makers and capital
ists planters and farmers may be wisely
directed.
