PERSONAL,

Hon. Charles Ii. Phelps, brother of oul
townsman. Hon. E. J. Phelps, has recently
received an appointment to tho bench ir
Iowa, of which the Burlington Haiokey'
speaks as follows:
In the appointment of Hon. Charles II
Phelps to the bench OF the new Circuit
Court, Governor Gear has given great salts
faction, not only to the bar of Des Moines
and Louisa counties. but to the people OF
the circuit, to whom Mr.. Phelps has been
50 long and so favorably known, and among
whom he has so many warm personal friends.
A practice Of twenty-eight years in our
courts, has justly earned for him reputa-
ton as q lawyer second to that of no jurist
in the State, while his personal worth has
won for him the confidence of all our peO-
pie. The popular verdict is that Mr.. Gear
could not have made better appointment.
Mr. Phelps is an old settler, having come to
Iowa in the bloom of his youth, in May,
1850. His legal career in Burlington has
been constant and honorable lie COM
menced practice in partnership with that
magnificent lawyer, Hon. j. G. Hall, who
was for years the pride of the Burlington
bar. In 1853, when Mr.. Grimes was elect
ed to the Governorship, Mr.. Phelps took his
place in the Office of Grimes & Starr. the
firm becoming Starr K Phelps and after
wards, BY the entrance of Hon. George Rob-
e.tson, Starr, Phelps K Robertson. MI.
Starr soon retired from practice, and Mr..
Robertson shortly followed, since which
Mr.. Phelps has practiced alone, until a
short time ago. when he formed a partner
ship with General Glasgow. 1t is needless
for US to add that Mr.. Phelps will make a
most excellent Judge.
