That of the many men who have heretofore held

business OF his oee moved silently, yet with system
ard diSpaten. %
That though but short time had elapsed from the
Induction Into Office of j. ~. ANDERSON until hiS
death, the mea ure in which, and the ability which
ne exhloted IN the discharge CT MS oIicial duties
gave evidence OF his fitness for the once to which
him. TTue courage has always been universally ad-
miTe and taken as the highest evidence of noble
manhood, and The fact thai JAMES W. ANDERSON re-
manned as mis- post OF duty, In the face or almost
c-Ftain death, proves tine nobility OF his nature We
therefore recommend the 4 llOWins resolutions and
ASK that they be aboptedi
RsSot1ed, Th4tin the death of C. L. ANDERSON and

citizens and the county has lost the valuable services
OF the latter.

The Members OF the Bar Hold u Meet

Tending Judge BIOdgeCt, OF
the u. =. District Court,
OF Illinois.

CHICAGO, December 10.-A meeting OF the
members of the Chicago bar association was
held this afternoon to take action in view of
the determined efforts being made to secdre
impeachment proceedings against Judge
Biodgett of the United States district court.
The following resolutions were adopted and
signed by Hon. Writ Dexter, Hon. Chas, b.
Lawrence, Hon. E. c. Larned and ffty-two
others, including some of the most eminent
barristers IN the city. 1t is addressed to
Representative Harris and to other represen-
tatlves In congress, and Was forwarded this
evening:
GENTLEMEN-We understand that Messrs.
Kenche, Cook, Sheldon and CooI er,
attorneys in this city, are urging the present&-
ton of the resolution for the impeachment of
Judge Blodgett. If we are accurately in
formed in respect to the supposed cause of
the complaint against Judge Blodgett, it
grows out of the performance of the duty i'm
posed upon him by the law in his relations
to the late grand jury office held by Judge
Bodgett. 1t is public estate of vast import
ance, and to have unjust charges against
him giving currency would be a most
serious calamity to the citizens of Illinois.
Ii particularly will be disgrace to have it
reported throughout the land that gentle
man, who for many years had been
discharging the most important judicial
functions IL their midst, is found
UNIT iof the ONCE ana QeserEeS lmpeach-
ment We think we are nGt uisinformed,
bat speak the general conviction CT informed
memberssof the profession when we say that
Judge B!odgett's career as Judge has been
marked by integrity, ability and exceeding
industry, and ia entirely acceptable to the
Lost men of the profession, and that all at
teDpts to impeach him will be found to pro-
coed either from personal grievances or mis-
taken opinions, and are sure to result in the
most dismal IailuI2. Having in mind the
credit and reputation Of tho profession in
which cur life is cast. as we'll
as the general credit of the city
and State, Of which you are also guardians
we hope your influence will be used to pro-
tect both from this threatened scandal. Of
course, We cannot know the various pretenses
which those engaged in this business may
resort to Gs lass Of their movement; but
we do assure you that if our members IN con-
gress vii! communicate the specific charges
brought against Judge B!odgatt, we viii I'M
dertake that the profession and citizens of
Chicago, who know the Judge, will furnish
a ErathfEl explanation and absolute refuta-
ton thereof with al IRasGlahe speed.

RurIish winter wheat

LONDON. December l0.-Tte Ndrk Lare
Ey.Dress saSA that winter wheat-sowing l.
comparatively >.os in later districts; 1t
seems likely that a smaller acreage will be
devoted to wheat in consequence OF the tre-
quent bad harVests and uhremune.ative
prices. The increased supplies at provincial
markets indicate anxiety GA the part Of farm
ers to market their wheat in CONSEQUENCE OF
the serious agricultural depreasiou. This is
to be regretted, although doubtless unavoid-
able, - there are strong signs that prices
during the next tew months will take an up
=ard turn. The fact IL. trade has become 20
a great extent denoralized by large supplies
of foreign products, and especially by the
-apid Increase of the visible supply in
America. But on the other hand, the ex-
porting power Of India is enormously re-
duced; that of Egypt, absolutely nil; while
shipments from Russia are practically at al

Badly Battered.

Special Dispatch 10 the Cincinnati Enquirer
BosToN, December S.-Georse Brennan,
twenty-seven years of age. and weighing one
hundred and sixty pounds. claimed that he
could whip half Of the professional light
weight fighters IN Boston. The result was a
prize-69ht after the ancient custom, with bare
maulers, between him and Marcellus Baker,
of this city, late last night, near Brighton.
Baker is thirty three, and weighs one hundred
and thirty. Bat dozen persons were pres
ent, and bothithe principals appeared in the
ring stripped to the waist. John Lynch, of
Boston, seconded Baker, and Jim O'Brien did
the same for Brennan, with James Fleming
as referee. The fight was extremely one
sided, and proved to be contest between
brute strength and science. In the first
round, Brennan had both his eyes almost
closed, his left cheek split and his nose badly
battered, and was finally knocked down by a
terrible blow from Bakers left. la the second
round, Brennan lost all self-controI and proved
an easy victim. He aimed several sledge-
hammer blows, but missed his mark, owing
to being slow and allowing Baker to easily
dodge. He was pounded all over the ring,
and the round closed by his being again
knocked to grass. Friends then tired to stop
the fight, but Baker insisted on going on
with it until Brennan should give in. 10 the
third round, Brennan was punished badly,
and was finally knocked in a heap in his own
corner. The referee then threw up the
sponge, declaring Baker the victor. The
fight lasted fifteen minutes
