The Supreme Court Vacancy.

One of the most important duties of Presi-
dent Hayes, when Congress meets next
month, will be to nominate a successor to
Justice David Davis, who resigned in March
to take his seat in the Senate. The Presi-
dent has wisely refrained from making an
appointment during the recess, but he can
not defer sending name for confirmation
at the approaching session. 1t is to be
hoped that he will not appoint any man
party politics. The Supreme Court has suf
fered considerably in public estimation by
the political duty which was required Of it
in determining tho result of the Presidential
election, and it is desirable that the odor of
party politics should be speedily removed
and all suspicion cleared away that it is pos
sible for that great tribunal to have politi-
cal bias. Chief Justice Waite showed very
chaste and beftting sense of judicial de-
corum in causing it to be understood that he
would not consent to serve on the Electoral
Commission, and the virulence with which
certain of the associate justices have been
assailed for their party votes on that occa-
sion makes it regrettable that some solution
could not have been found which would
have permitted all the members of the Su-
preme Court to stand aloof from so exciting
a political controversy. The President must
do nothing which would tend further to
impair respect for the impartiality Of our
highest court He must nominate some
eminent iurist who has never taken any
conspicuous part in politics and whose
high standing in the profession is recog-
nized by the Bar Of the whole country. 1t
would be particularly indiscreet and unfor-
tunate for Mr.. Hayes to appoint q poll
tician who was prominent rival for
the Presidential nomination last year,
and whose opposition to the leading
candidate made the nomination of Mr..
Hayes possible 1t would be great error
to make position on that bench reward
of any kind of party service, especially
when the Supreme Court has something to
| retrieve on the score Of partisan bias among
its members. Even if Mr.. Bristow were
generally recognized as great and learned
lawyer his appointment would be unwise
under present circumstances. If none OF
the circuit judges deserves so high pro-
motion it might be well to seek an ap-
pointee in some of the higher State courts.
When the late Judge Nelson was appointed
he was Chief Justice of the State OF
New York, and Judge Davis had been
serving long term on the Bench OF Illinois
when President Lincoln selected him for the
Supreme Court. Judge Hunt, one OF the
best of General Grants appointments, was
taken from our Court of Appeals
Beside attempting to protect the Supreme
Court from further assaults on the grount
that its members are partisans he shoult
try to rcctify the present unfair geographi
cal distribution of the judges Since 1SGOth

Another Day ut Creed moor

Although the interesting long range rifle
match at Crecdmoor yesterday did not draw
u large crowd to the grounds, and al
though it did not touch on the sensi-
tive patriotic nerve which vibrated
through the great international match of
last week, it possessed several features
worthy of note. In the first place it was to
a certain extent, agauge of the spread of this
manly sport through the States of our Union.
Teams from Massachusetts,, Louisiana and
the District of Columbia were on the
ground, beside our New York boys. The
Californians, who have been doing SO well at
Creedmoor ut short and mid range, failed to
enter long range team, and Connecti-
cut was also absent, although possessing
many fine long distance marksmen. For q
first attempt at al interstate long range
match it was therefore, fairly successful,
and we think that it is only necessary
to alter the conditions slightly in order
to make it one of the most important
matches in succeeding years 1t should
be to America what the Elcho Shield contest
is to the United Kingdom. We think its
weak point at present is permitting any
number of clubs from one State to COM
pete for it. Thus, yesterday there were
three clubs from New York State; the
Amateurs, the Parthians and the Hacken-
sacks, for although the name OF the latter
would indicate New Jersey rparaGHntagee, its
representatives before the buttsr are mostly
resident New Workers. Of c,ny cnpFyse yesterday
The New York herald., 1877-09-18

the New York Amateur Club, with such
rifle giants as Dakin, Weber, Allen and
Jewell hadit all their own way; but it is
gratifying that the team from another
State, Massachusetts,, took second place.
We sincerely regret that the gen.
tlemen from Louisiana, who have
shown US such fine examples of shooting
in their practice scores, should have SO
unaccountably failed in the hour of
trial. With their experience of yes
terday they may come to US another
year improved in many respects and
SO put on the record what they have SO
abundantly proved themselves able to
achieve in quiet practice. A real inter-
state long range match would do
moro to cultivate scientific marksman-
ship throughout the country than
any international match. The prize, to
be held a year, should be an object Of
art which would be worthy of prominent
place in the State Capitol or the City Hall
Of the chief municipality. Then we might
hope to see the great scores of the past few
years outdone and brigade of marksmen
where there is now barely o corporals guard.

Joseph Could Not Wait.

And now it turns out that General How
ard has worn out the patience of Chief
Joseph. That excellent Indian found
Howard too slow, and has abandoned him
in disgust. The HERALD correspondent on
the Yellowstone River reports suspicion
that Joseph has gone off to parts unknown,
leaving some of his young men to deal with
Howard. Well, it probably saves q major
general to an anxious people; for he will,
we hope, be able to get away from Joseph's
young men. But the Indian chief appears
to us to have made n blunder If he had
captured Howard and brought him to Gen
eral Sheridan he would have earned, and
no doubt received, the applause of the
nation. Probably he did not suspect this.
He may have imagined that Sheridan did
not care much about Howard.

Murder on the Water.

The alarming loss Of life on the North and
East rivers during the past ten days chal-
lenges public attention. Within a week
in rowing and sailing boats for few hours
pleasure have been sent into eternity in
few seconds by collisions with ferryboats.
In our columns yesterday morning there
were recorded the deaths Of five persons in
this way, and it is impossible to resist the
conclusion that they were the result of gross
carelessness on the part Of those in charge
of the steam craft Masters and pilots Of the
ferryboats plying on these rivers seem to
have become utterly Indifferent to human
life, rs the frequent cases ofdrowning, COM
monty called accidents, but too plainly bear
witness. In nine cases out Of ten these acci-
dents are simply murders, and until they arc
treated as murders and their perpetrators
punished as murderers there is very little
prospect that we shall hear the last of them.
As rule captains of ferryboats travelling
at speed of between eight and fifteen miles
an hour never think of getting out of the
way or avoiding small boats or vessels which
there is fair prospect of sinking without
any damage to themselves. They seem to
consider it merely q joke to throw three or
four persons into the water, and if one or
two of them are drowned why it is easy to
swear the unfortunate victims were in the
way and it was their own fault. 1t is time
these murders on the water were stopped
and one or two of the guilty parties pun
ished Us they deserve to be punished.
Drivers who recklessly kill people on the
public streets are held to just response
bility, and there is no reason why those who
destroy life on the water should not be held
to a like accountability.

Savings Banks Pro mises.

If you deposit two and three-quarter cents
daily for fifty years IN savings bank you
will have due you at the end of that time
two thousand nine hundred dollars; and if
you had made your deposit in any one of q
considerable number of savings banks in
this city you might whistle for your money.
1t appears that the Clairmont Savings Bank,
which has been closed by the State Ex-
aminer, tempted its patrons to industry
by neat and encouraging tables of the
rapid increase of money ut compound in
terest in its hands. A dollar week,
they were promised, should amount to
So, 51S 33 in ten years; dollar and thirty
seven cents day to $l45, 600 in fifty years,
and so on. 1t seems an aggravation that q
bank which took the trouble to awaken such
fattering hopes in the bosoms of its confid-
ing depositors should fail. We should be glad
if the officers OF justice, in the interest of the
poor dcpositors, would ask the bank officers
why there is so wide discrepancy between
the promise and performance, and why, with
S73, 900 assets, they have $137, 600 OF liabil-
tiles and a deficiency of $4,000. The de-
ficiency seems to have gone on at compound
interest.
The New York herald., 1877-09-18
Russin's Failure.

Russia seems to be at the end of her
tether with the forces now actually in Rou-
mania, and the Ottoman army has once
more demonstrated how an invasion that
threatened to overwhelm a nation reputed
unable to resist it may be robbed of its ter
rors by heroic resistance, even when the
resistance is not directed by the highest
military intelligence. It was not be-
lieved that with armies equal in number
the Turks could successfully make head
against the better supplied, better dis
ciplined and better handled Russian troops !;
and it was not doubted that the Russians
would fail to put in the field on so important
o theatre force at least double that the
Turks could meet them with. In fact, the
use of such a force was part OF their plan
of operations, Tor they proposed to oppose
to the armies that might assan them in
Bulgaria an army ut least as great
as that now in the presence Of Oslnan
Pacha and Mehemet Ali Pacha, and to have
in addition to this force sufficient to march
on Constantinople. 1t is obvious how the
mere presence Of such force would, ut the
preScut mOIAoAts Ch~AbC eAlS "oPOCs " 'AAo
war in Bulgaria If the forces that menace
the Russians on the right and left were not
only thus held in check, but had their at
tention distracted by constant appeals
from Constantinople to protect the capital
from force operating in Roumelia,
their menace would not possess the i'm
portance it now does; for as it would then
be necessary only for the Russians to hold
but not to conquer fortified places we could
scarce doubt that they would do it. Heavy
Russian reinforcements are now advancing
the Imperial Guard and the army of Poland
are both moving through Roumania. This
addition will be effective, but it is doubt
full whether it can be Of value this
season. Exceptional weather may give
another month for operations, but at the
rate of Russian progress that would not get
them over the mountains even if it were
certain that this force would enable them
to crush the army of Mehemet Ali in an
open battle-which is now their only hope.
Only an event in the nature of miracle
can prevent the necessity of wintering on
the Danube.
The New York herald., 1877-09-18

the investigation of the last great mystery
OF African geography, and moved to the
coast by the line of least resistance. But
Stanley's constancy, courage and indom-
liable spirit would not let him turn aside
from what was so obviously the only method
to determine this great point. He there
fore kept down the river-not Oh the right
bank, as he had planned, but on the
stream itself; and this so obviously demon
strates the point he set out to deter
mine that plain people will be at q
loss to comprehend the opinion expressed
by an exceedingly superior person in jour
nalism that this demonstration needs for its
validity the approval of scientific geog-
raphers. If man gets on boat in the
Lualaba and is carried down the current Of
the stream until he reaches towns and
places where the river he is on is known as
the Congo it is odd that it should require
scientific opinion to determine that the
Congo and the Lualaba are but names for
different parts of the same great river.
1t was said in London when Stanley first
wrote from the Albert Niyanza that he would
''in two years do as much for geographical
knowledge as Livingstone had done in his
whole lite" and that we should, when he
returned, "know as much about the lake
system of Centrnl Africa and the origins OF
the Nile and the Congo as if they were in
Europe" These prophecies are fulfilled,
for so much substantial achievement in ex-
plorations in the Nile and the Congo basins
is due to Stanley that all discoveries
which preceded his are mere scraps of
knowledge or ingenious conjectures. All the
observations of Spoke, Grant, Burton and
Baker, Cameron, and even Livingstone him
self, in the determination Of the Nile and
Congo problems, must yield for Importance
to those of the ewspaper correspondent, and
Stanleys own single brilliant achievement
in the discovery Of Livingstone will be for
gotten in the solid value of his unequalled
contributions to geographical knowledge.
