Hon. LEWIS LEwTON, of CadiZ, is
named favorably as proper appoint
rnent TO be made 90 the Commission,
to relieve the Supreme Court, author
lied by the constitutional amendment
ratified at the recent election. We
have to say of Col. Lewton, that nc

fitted for the position. He is a lawyer
who by close application and study has
made himself familiar with the record

profession, with a natural legal acu.

no dress parade appointments which

latter class, and his legal ability is un.
doubted.
