From TnE BENCH TO THE WHITE House.,
If his friends do not greatly misrepresent
him, Judge David Davis, of the United
States Supreme Court, wants very much to
be President. Other judges of the same
court have aspired to the same office. The
late Justice Mclean, appointed by General
jackson, was often, If not at all times, can.
didate, and Chief Justice Chase had the
White House fever in its most aggravated
form. But the people of the United States
seem averse TO looking to the Bench for
Presidents. They appear to think, instine.
lively, that a judge should not attempt to
make the Supreme Bench spring aboard
from which TO leap into the Executive chair.
II he is not satisfied with his position, but
wants to be President, let him resign his
judgeship before entering the lists The
usefulness of judge is necessarily impaired
when he becomes connected with party
politics,

| The recent shooting affair at Coushat-
Ia, La, was from all accounts a very
cowardly and lawless piece OF business,
theme OF blood-dripping editorials In all
Northern outrage organs, which con-
tinue to point to the South as the sole
locality on the continent where men let
their angry passions dissolve in the
murderous smoke Of the rifle and
revolver. We observe, for instance,
a lengthy article on the subject
in the Chicago Inter- Ocean, but on the
same page we find an account of a
bloody riot in the lumbe yards Of that
city, where revolvers were freely used
and two or three men were slain in the
armed attempt to prevent some honest
workmen from earning 81 Is per diem

has had to call out the military to

threatened them with death if they
continue. 1t appears, therefore, that in
several Northern States pennsylvania
Is also notorious example) men cannot
elect their employers, but hold their
lives in their hands when they attempt
to make a living by daily labor. We
suppose that this State of affairs is re-
garded as perfectly excusable by the
outrage organs, since they utter no pro-
tests against the infamy, but it is we'll
to remind them that they live in glass
houses of a peculiarly fragile character,
and should not throw stones without due
reflection.

A Sky SNAKE.
A Counterpart to the Myth Of the Grcax
u.' Sea SERPENT.

A Counterpart to the Myth Of the Grcax
Sea serpent.
The Fort Scott (Knnsas) Monitor says
a strange and remarkable phenomenon
was observed at sunrise on Friday last
The sky was clear and the sun rose
entirely unobscured When the disc OF
the sun was about half way above the
horizon the form of huge serpent. ap-
parently perfect in form, was plainly
seen encircIng it, and was visible
for some moments. The editor has the
statement from two reliable witnesses,
who are willing TO make affidavit Of the
above. The same serpent has been in
Texas, as will be seen by the following
from the Bonham Enterprise: A few
days ago, Mr.. Hamlin, residing some
five or six miles east OF this place, saw
Something resembling an enormous
serpent floating in q cloud that was
passing over his farm. Several parties
OF men and boys at work in the fields
observed the same thing and were
very much frightened. 1t seemed
to be as largo and long as telegraph
pole, was Of a yellow striped color,
and seemed to float along without any
effort They could see it coil itself up,
turn over, and thrust forward its huge
head, as if striking at something, dis
snake. The cloud and serpent moved
in in easterly direction, and were seen
by persons d few miles this side or
Honey Grove. The question is, what is
It, and where did it come from?

.EMiCIAL lNEEMCITIES.

We are not surprised at the facility
with which MIR. Rice triumphed in his
great role OF mediator in the Superior
Criminal Court the other day There are
many points OF divergence among the
out-hangers OF the Radical party al
ready. Those whose allegiance IL OF the
feshpot order have at best but a feeble
grip on the party, and their little per-
sonal differences are easily compro-
missed. But there is another and more
serious view Of the matter in which the
people are interested. The people are
entitled to have some dignity and de-
ocrum, coupled with the administration
Of public Justice. Nothing so rapidly
and surely destroys public morals as UNI
certainty. iiiprancy. or the least faint
OF partiality in the conduct Of the OH
GERS OF court This is especially true,
and Of stilt greater importance, in the
administration OF criminal justice.
1t will not add TO the influence exer-
oised by Che Superior Criminal Court
for the Judge and the representative of
the State prosecution, to indulge In
clashes OF personal dignity ut the ex-
pense Of the dignity Of the court
We have 20 desire to enter into the
discussion Of the legal points involved
They would hardly embarrass any orii-
narily infcsmed jurist, and we doubt not
such judicial lights as Judges Braughn
and Steel will wrestle with them sue
ecssfully. ~ al. s.. sH
Itis OF noaorious moment to the cause
Of Justice. or TO the public. at what par.
ticular Iosnt Of time o question Of the
kind referred 70 Is asked. But it is of
She highest. Importance that a Judge
should have brains. dignity and pluck
enough to decide aquestion of law indie
pendent OF the dictation of the acting
Attorney General, whoever he may be. |
II SCENE that the purple of Office is too
much considered. and the dignity Of the
Court aud public. justice is trampled
down in what might be considered per
sonal assumption.

The colossus is now to be seen in
Paris. by the friends and assistants of
the sculptor, IN his studio, in the Rue
du Commanders, near the Orleans bar
rier. 1t is one of the most grandipose
statues that we have ever seen, being
without parallel rs to dimensions. En-
teriDg the studio we have to look up to
the ceiling, seeminly lost in the clouds,
to see the head Of Liberty, but 1t is inn
possible. Our head hardly reaches to
the formidable mass which represents
the right ankle AS for the calf it rises
big as y cedar, and seems to have no
end. Several yards higher up is the
thigh, huge as an Armstrong gun; then
the enormous hip. The folds Of the
drapery would hold whole barrels Of
water The chest expands to titantc
proportions. The neck rises from the
shoulders like the trunk Of an oak, and
on Its vast breadth OF shoulders, which
could hardly be contained between the
two walls Of the Rue Coquilliere, rises
the magnificent head Of the goddess
with its vigorous nose, its naughty look
and its gracious mouth. The right arm
is extended like nm enormous weapon OF
metal, and holds the torch, inside OF
