The SUPERINTENDENT BOND SCHEME is
earnestly sustained by the Hon. WILLIAM D.
KELLEY, of Pennsy lvania. He has appeared
before the Committee of Ways and Means
for some days, presenting to that body the
arguments in favor Of it. Washington let
tiers say that the members of the committee
had not expressed their views upon the
proposition, but it is conjectured that they
will not report faYorably upon it.
This scheme, as our readers know, is for
the issue of bonds bearing 500 per cent. per
annum, OF cent a day on the one hundred
| dollars, for the convenience of calculation
this bond to be intcrchanged with currency
a: the option OF the holders. 1t is thought
that it would readily absorb excess Of cur
rcncy and prevent it from accommodating in
the great centres, where it is liable to be en-
ployed by spectators in call loans. These
spectators disturb legitimate business and
keep the country in constant danger of pam
les. If the interconyertibility scheme does
this, as we may reasonably believe that it
will, its value to the country could not be
oyerestimated.
But the scheme has q powerful opposition,
especially from New York, which fact Is
priaa fdcie evidence of the efficiency OF
the good it promises in putting restriction
upon the evil practices of Wall street.
HORACE GREELEY was, we believe, the au
thor of the scheme. He certainly snsta.ne'
it with zeal, and with his we'll nown apl,,.y
TIE Tribune, however, now opposes II. bu
ito arguments fall a long way short OF ah
swarino those of its illustrious founder.

Mr. Williams Case.

We published yesterday the news Of the
Withdrawal of the nomination Of Attorney.
General WILLIAMS for Chiei-JuSLice OF the
Supreme Court. His letter TO the President
shows due degree of sensitivcness con.
corning the alleged calumuies against himself:
and furthermore, with regard to the objec-
lions urged to him a. wanting in ability and
dignity Of character. The nomination has
been bother to both Gcnelal GRANT and
the Senate. 1t was made from personal
friendship more than from sense Of fitness
OF the Acknowledgement! for the Office for
which be was named.
But we had not anticipated so curious an
end to the affair as is described in The follow
ing extract from the Baltimore Suns Wash
ington corrcsp ondencc:
rWAsnINGToN, january S.--The inside
history Of the elevcnth.hour withdrawal CT
Mr.. Williams Is rs follows, and ascertained
from unquestioned sources When the Presi-
dent had Inc interview at the capitol with
the members Of the Judiciary Committee he
frankly t( Id them OF the embarrassment in
which he was placed by his promise to stand
by Mr.. Williams. 1t was then agreed that
two OF the senators present should call on
Mr.. Fish, us the senior member Of the Cabi-
net. state to him the impossibili!y Of Mr..
Williams being confirmed, and request him
to call on the AttorneyGencr and induce
him to relieve the President of the dis
agreeable position in which he WAS placed.
"Mr. Fish undertook the rather unpleit-
SAINT task, and after hearing Mr. Williams,
agreed to write his letter asking the Presi-
dent to Withdraw his name."

The difference Is not great, nor is the cost
excessive for so important subject.

in the lessening Of costs, loss of time, and
expenditures from home by the decreased

system far outweigh the parsimonlous,
penny savings Of the present system. Even
this cost could be reduced S11 600 were.
there but three instead of four district courts.
with but fifteen judges.
Our judiciary will have to be remodelled
and definitely settled. All men feel that the
present arrangement is but temporary
make-shift in very important portions of it;
aud this is derogatory to the dignity OF the
courts, and is imniring the generation for
them. The sooner they are fixed and let
alone the better for the country.
1t is demanded by many that the county
court be at once restored, with the yufIsdic-
ton it had before August l, 1873 be 1t 80,
and then let the courts alone until the
proper system can be devised and ordained
by an authority competent to dispose OF the
whole subject and put it on lasting iootipg.
This should be done either By constitu-
tioral convention or by the submission TO
the people of an amendment to the Constl-
tuition in the mode prescribed by the organic
law.
But the sooner the subject is at rest the
better. Let the Assembly invite any three,
or all, of the ablest jurists in the State to de-
wise and report to it the wisest and best
plan for permanent judiciary, such as shall
suit the present, and yet be ample to meet
the needs ofthe growing future. Let that be
submitted to the people in due form as an
amendment; and if ratified by them, let
there be no further thought of disturbing
the courts. JNo NJ. ORR.

Collins states that the chief officer.

deaths of the shore party, killed him

into the hands of the Savages. The
Renard also found four of the missing
men of the ship Bobcrt Touns on the
south part of MallicOllO Island, where
they had been almost six weeks. The
natives treated them kindly up to that
time; but they were getting tired OF
