THE q. S. DISTRICT JUDGESHIP.

While the Radical spoilsmen are growing
and bargaining over the Judgeshp of the U.
s. Circuit Court of New Orleans, business o.
a very considerable amount before that court
Is suffering for want of a Judge A large
sum of money, which might do good if put i'll
circulation, is now locked up in that court.
The Senate Committee on this appointment
has held it up quite long enough. If the
nominee Of the President is to be confirmed,
lltigants here would be glad to have it done
without delay.
If he is to be rejected the President ought
20 know it, and send in another nomination.
1t is Radical affair, to be settled by Radical
wishes and votes, but the public are also in
terosted in the resumption of business in this
important court. In their behalf we hope
that the pickering over Pardee and Billings
may come toa speedy conclusion. The affair
shows how little politicians care for the wei
tare and convenience of the public, or even
OF their own adherents when question of
Spolls comes up.

NATIVE SHAMROCK.

We are indebted to our friend, Mr. ". T.
Cniacke, for sprig OF shamrock, just received
by him in letter from Old Ireland, hi:
native land. The sprig is still green: and
clinging to it is some Of the soil on which il
grew.
The shamrock grows universally through
out the Green Island Of the West, and is
held in precious esteem by all who revere the
memory of St. Patrick, the renowned bene-
factor Of Ireland, who first carried thither
and propegated the religion and doctrine OF
Christianity, who was followed and listened
while he lived and taught, and whose name
has ever since been held in highest love and
reverence among those of the saintcd dead.
II is related, IN substance, that when -.
Patrick began to teach and preach in ireland
CD the natives Of high and low degree, III or
der to illustrate the three persons ofthc God
head, he pluckcd from the bank on which he
stood a sprig Of shamrock, and asked his
Eager hearers to note how three leaves joined
70 form each stem. As the three made one,
Son and Holy Ghost were one God
The illustration, SO simple, SO beautiful and
30 apt, was at once received and repeated by
many thousands. Hence the shamrock is eB
teemcd by all Catholic sons of Ireland, not
only as the emblem of the Trinity but as a
memento Of the noble, pious, generous,
learned and wise Patron Saint of their
country. On the anniversary Of St Pat
rick every Irish son of the Catholic
Church will pluck the shamrock and
wear it in memory of the great benefactor,
teacher and regenerator Of his native Land.
If away from where the simple plant grows,
he will 60 to the woods or dig beneath the
snow to find its nearest resemblance.
Besides its emblematic meaning and reli
gious associations the mention sight Of
the shamrock awakens in the minds and
hearts of Irshmen many poetical and pa.ri-
otto memories and emotions.

about by an act Of polltcncss towards an old

with him, and the two had much leisure time on
their hands, which they occupied seeing the
sights in the various pnblc buildings.
One day they called at the Treasury Depart

through. He was very polite, probably very
much interested, and made himself agreeable
and useful to the strangers. He engaged to
show them something or pilot them somewhere
else the next day and the next, and the old man
and his daughter gladly accepted these repeated
offers Of kindness. Of course the parties became
well acquainted, and it is not surprising that
there should have grown up mutual liking.
The young man WAS a welcome visitor al the
apartments Of the English strangers between
whites. At length the merchant finished his
business in Washington, and he and his daugh-
ter turned their faces homcward across the sea,

A Narrow Escape.

The Baltimore SIMS Washington cor
respondent says very dangerous bill, and
one which would have almost worked ruin
upon several Of the Southern States, barely
escaped becoming law in the last hours of
the session. The bill, which had passed both
Houses without notice, authorized writ of
mandamus issued by any Circuit Court of the
United States against any State officer to re-
main in full effect, notwithstanding the death
or resignation Of such officer The effect of
the bill as was ascertained. would be to COM
pei the payment Of all the bogus bonds,
Stata and municipal, issued during the
Radical and carpet-bag rule in several Of the
Southern States which would bankrupt North
Carolina, Georgia, and perhaps some other
States. It is believed that the holders Of
some six millions of bogus railroad bonds
issued by the North Carolina Radical authori-
ties inspired this bill, and the common rumor
is that Gen Butler worked up" the bill in
his ingenious style by which suspicion as to
its true intent was not aroused. The bill had
already been enrolled and was ready for the
signatures Of the presiding officers, when,
through the efforts Of General Ransom. it was
arrested III the last stage before becoming
law.
