OUR NEW CHIEF JUSTICE

By the California papers received by las

 mento City, and not Charles E. c. Frencl
 as asreported by telegraph, but C. c. w French
 Having no personal knowledge of him, VIC
 give below bis reputation as outlined by the
 two leading papers of the city of his resi-
 dence. The Bee, of Dec. l4th, says:
 "Col c. G. W. French, of Sacramento.
 has been appointed by the President Chief
 Justice of Arizona. And we can say. know
 ing whereof we speak, that this appoint
 inent was one fit to be made. Hts testimo-
 nials from the California Bench and Bar are
 of the very highest character Ex and pres
 ent Supreme Court Justices, District and
 County Judges and the most eminent attor
 neys have attested, over their own sigma
 lures, to his worth as man and qualifica-
 tions as Jnrist. The appointment is not for life, but for four years"
 In the same connection the Record Union of the 18th remarks as follows:
 "Our dispatches yesterday stated that the President had sent to the Senate for confr- nation the name of MT. Charles G. w French, as Chief Juctice of the Supreme Court of Arizona. Mir. French is a resident | Of Sacramento, an old Californian, an accom- plIshed Jurist, and in all respects thoroughly well htted to do honor to the appointment. lie IS native of Massachusetts, and gradu- ated from Harvard University, where he ac- qulred that mental discipline which he has turned to the best account in his studies since He is classical scholar in the old fashioned significance of the phrase, and is a member of that now rare class of men who carry through life the taste for elegant lite rature acquired at the knees of their Alma Hater, and who prize their Aldines and El- .eVirs for the treasures of the text. and not ( Tor the curiosity of edition or binding. His , 'eputatlon as a jurist stands emphatically q nigh with the profession, and we believe his z appointment will be regarded by the Bar md Bench alike as one eminently fit to be made. His idiosyncrasy, indeed, is rather ndIcial than forensic, and his mastery of D he science of law has long since been recog- s, ized by his colleagues, among whom it has o cen common observation that Judge rench studies the cases of other lawyers VI lth as much care as though they were his 1t wn, and with as much conscientiousness as ti ,ough he was required to pass upon them. 1T, politics he is Republican, and represent ., ea l Sacramento in the State Legislature two 'e ears ago, sitting upon the Special Code to ommisslon appointed for that session. In th lese censorious times it may perhaps be ge orth while to add that Judge French has tb 'ed blameess private life, and that du- -, ng residence here of some sixteen years au has acquired the esteem and respect of fe; fellow citizens, all of whom will agree tr endorsing the propriety and fitness of his m, esent appointment. As to the people of 1zona, they may congratulate themselves mt on the prospect of Chief Justice who is a ot ,olar and agentleman, and whose decisions tia Il very certainly be good law" bll

GENERAL scHoFIELDs REPORT

We failed to catch the report of the .Diyi.

 that the country is as well served by divi-

 conflict of authority may keep the two de- partments little jealous of each other, as it
 would be if entirely under one control.
 The oregonian commenting on the Divi- sion Commanders report gives the matter a moral turn that may have more in it than we have been able to discern. Hero is wh., 1t says:

Nevertheless we are persuaded the vast majority of those whose experience has best qualified them to ;ndge oi the matter, and who have given i. mucb attention, would concur in the opinion that the plan proposed by Gen.
