The political proverb, " the officer
may die, but the office never, is
likely TO have further exemplifica-
ton in the matter of the position Of
Judge of the United States District
Court, made vacant by the death of
Judge Hopkins. Very few persons
are able to make plausible argu-
ment for the continuance of the office,
though very mauy may make incon-
trovertible argument that it ought to
be bestowed upon their particular
friends. In the latter behalf much
work has been vigorously undertaken
and we do not think the Yankee who
would guess that something in this
direction was done before the death
of the late incumbent would bring
into disrepute the proverbial tact of
his fellows. At any rate 1t seems
clear that the place is to be filled, and
we have faith that the President will
patiently inquire into the fitness of
the several applicants. But we are
sure that if the highest consideration
of duty TO the public can prevail, the
necessity for the position will be
committed to the test that was
anplied to the Pension Agencies,
which will result in the consolidation
of the two Courts that have for poll,
teal reasons, existed at Milwaukee
and Madison. Richldnd Co. Observer.

Mars.

" ashington. D, G, Aug "a
erof. Newcomb, of the Naval
Observatory, gives the following
additional interesting facts relative
to the discovery of the moons of
Mars The reason these moons have
not been seen is that Mars is nearer
to the earth than it has been at any
time since 1915, when the great
telescopes of the present day had
hardly began to be known. The
next opportunity occurred in 1862,
but the satellites did not seem to
have been especially sought for by
the two or three telescopes which
alone could show them. The most
favorable position was 10 1875, but
Mars was then so far south of the
equator that 1t could not be observed
in our latitude. The present is about
the first position for observation in
the middle ATTITUDES of our hemis-
phere. The next opportunity will
occur in October, 1880, satellites
viii, probably be entiraly invisible
for ten years. Prot. Newcomb
regards the planet, perhaps, as
an ong the most remarkable of the
solar system.
