FORD f. CHURCH, especially and principally
because we have seen him ascend 10 the
1oftiest plane In the performance of his jul
dicial duties as Chief Judge of the Court
of Appeals. As the eagle is said TO fix his
steadiast gaze upon the sun, so he has kept
in view great and permanent principles,
while be has been deaf and inseusible to
the camors of the feeting day. Such a
character and such fame are among the
treasures OF the State and OF the nation.
If Judge CHURCH had accepted the nom
ination for Governor when we urged il up
On him two years ago, II is altogether prob
able that he would now have been the
Democratic candidate for President in
stead of Mr.. TILDEN. For reasons OF his
own he declined, and-considering the
name he has since made upon the bench.
even if he could have been nominated aud
elected President-we think not unwisely.
At all events, that is now passed, and can

and admirers of Judge CHURCH, so much

them, they would decidedly prefer him for
President to Mr.. TILDES But they are at
the same time strongly of the opinion that,
under existing circumstances, Mr.. TILDES
Is the man 10 be nominated.
We are not going 10 mince matters at all,
IN speaking OF these things and these men.
We think the simple, robust truth both
tafe and wholesome. We can readily
understand why, looking at IL as a mere
matter of personal preference, Mr.. TIL

CHURCH for President. Foolish aud unjust
things with which Judge CHURCH has q
right 10 be dissatisfied, have been done
under the pretended shadow Of Gov. TIL

Plantation Manners.

Mr.. JOHN KELLY's exhibition of planta-
ton manners ut 50. Louis will hardly COM
mend him TO the favor of those who have
hitherto entertained doubts of his fitness
for a political leader.
At the next election of Congressman
from the districts which compose this city
it is now evide mt that novel question will
have to he settled: that is, whether the
members are elected to represent their
constituents collectively, or Mr. JONI
KELLY individually. This will he brought
directly in issue when Mr.. HEWITT runs Tor
reelection.
We think the exhibition Of autocratic in
science just made at 81. Louis by Mr.. KEEL
Ly toward Mr.. HEWITT would greatly in
crease the vote for that gentleman MS an
independent candidate.

Littiejobn at ~. LOUIS.

The most active, vociferous. vehement
opponent of Gov. TILDEN at st. Louis
from this State seems TO be DE WET {.
LrTrLEJoHN Of Oswego. To tboee who do
not see below the surface, there is some
thing mysterious in the course Of Mr. LIT
TLEJoHN. He was prominent Liberal in
the campaign Of 1872, and then, for the
first time In his life. voted n Democratic
ticket; and he has since taken IA leading
part on that side of politics, especially in
the central counties.
Mr.. LITrLRJoIIN was @ member OF the
State Convention of 1874, and very active
In his support Of Mr.. TiLDES az the nomi-
nee for Governor, in opposition 10 those
who were understood to reflect the views
of Judge CuuRcH, Judge ALLEN, J. v.
l.. PRUYN, AMAsA J. PARKER, and
others now SO conspicuous In their
hostility TO Gov. TILDEN ut St. Louis.
At the Syracuse Convention which put
TILDEN up for Governor, LITrLEJoHN
made one OF his sonorous speeches In sup
port of DoRsHEIMER for Lieutcnant-Gov-
ernor, commenting him ms the very
man to be placed on the ticket with so
thorough n reformor as SAMUELJ. TILDEN :
and this speech was understood to have
turned the scale in favor of DoRsBEIMER
At the State Convention in April last
there was contest over seats in one Of
the Assembly districts I'm Oswego. Mr..
LITTLEJoHS was a member OF the Conven
ton, aud was eager TO go TO st. Louis. II
the contest in Oswego was decided in one
way, LITrLEJoHN could go; but " II was
decided IN another way, he could not.
Gov. TILDEN's friends had very large
majority IN the Convention. and it was Ia
their power to decide this Oswego contest
as they pleased. Though LirTLEJoHN's
ardor toward TILDES had evidently cool
ed of, he nevertheless declared that the
New York Democracy ought TO present
him as their candidate at ~. LOUIS, and that
the whole delegation should support him
ms long ne he remained in the field. The
result was the Oswego contest was decided
Us Mr.. LITTLEJoHN desired il TO be, and he
was then chosen q delegate TO st. Louis.
And now we find LrTTLEJoHS leading
the opposition to TILDEN at 81. Louis. We
can account for this in no other way than
that "A powerful section Of the Democratic
members of the Canal Ring reside in Os-
wego county, and are the warm friends OF

Mr.. WILLIAM STORY, the American sculp-

There are fevers In the Eternal City, Of couTse,

yer, elsewhere unknown; and as to malarious
fever, that can be avoided by guarding against
any sudden chill after being overheated. But
