Mr.. PROCTOR KNOTT, Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee of the National
House of Representatives, recently re-
ported bill for the retirement, on full
pay, of Judge Wilson McCandless, of
the Western District of Pennsylvania,
in consequence of physical disabil-
tiles, notwithstanding he has not
attained the age of seventy years
Mr.. Knott, in reply to the objection
of member that it would establish
q dangerous precedent, remarked that
a few years ago Congress deemed
4 wise to make provision that
United States judges, on reaching
the age OF seventy years, might retire on
their pay after haying served ten years.
IF that law was just snd wise, it was i'm
possible for him TO conceive the injustice
or unwisdom of passing this bill for the
relief of a faithful servant who had
served as judge for 20 years, who lacked
but two or three years of the necessary
age, and whose physical disabilities would |
event his longer occupation of the |
bench, with justice to the public interest.
The bill passed-yeas, 142; nays. 100.
It il somewhat germane to measure now
pending in our State Legislature. !

that whenever a foxy old politician is

only waiting a favorable opportunity to
proudly display it to the eyes of loyal

Col. Lamar

Col. Lamar's good fortune has not de-
| Representatives, on the 25th ult., upon
the centennial appropriation bill, was
one of those fortunate strokes which he
has illustrated, in his own wonderful ca
reer as statesman since his advent into
the national councils, the maxim that
peace hath her victories no less renowned
than war. On Col. Lamar, more than
any man, or all others combined, the
hopes of the people who have suffered
from the proscriptive rule of vindictive
party, are centered, and we are reioiced
at the accommodating evidences that he
will not prove unequal to his grand mis-
sion. In another column we have given
a sketch of the speech from one paper,
and from another "a graphic description
of its delivery, and its effect upon his
audience. Speaking of his effort, the
New York Herald says: "Mr. La
g mar made speech which will add to
&c his swn fame, and be received at the
North as an expression of good feeling
g on the part of the South, to be recip-
g rocated by many kindly words and
acts" The Tribune says: % Col La
g mars speech to-day was one of the
g ablest he has ever made in the House
" His discussion of the relations which
g exist between the State and General
Z" Governments, drawn cut by the speech
g es on this subject made by members on
" both sides of the House last week, |
" showed a remarkable elearness of !
g thought and Soundness of judgment.
" Many of Col. Lamar's speeches in the
" House, heretofore, have been rather
g ornamental in their nature, eloquent,
q and full of noble sentiment, rather
g than argumentative. His speech to-
" day places him in the front rank as a
=" debater of constitutional questions.
After these splendid tributes, our read
ers will be prepared to enjoy the admira-
bic sketches which they viii find copied
from the Herald and the Chicago Times.
