maintained with greater vigor than ever for the

CoLE-COTHREN-THEIR AGES.
The Democratic managers who ad-
vocate the election of Judge Cothren
for Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court are holding forth that Judge
Cole is becoming too old and feeble to
occupy a seat on the Supreme bench.
The Wisconsin State Journal says that
Judge Cole is SO and in excellent health,
and that he is the youngest judge on
the Supreme bench but one, Judge
Lyon being few years younger. The
Journal says also that Cole and Goth
rem are of the same age, or differ at
most but few months. That Cothren
as member of the L legislature in 1850,
gave his age at 3o.and the 30 years
since 1850 would make him 50. sg.ss.

WASHINGTON, February rs. - The
Treasury Department is in arrears
about $10,000,o00 nthe delivery Of the
4 per cents. 1t is behind about four
weeks in printing them. The Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, which
now prints the complete bond, is
working night and day, and hopes to
be up with Tie demand in a short
time. The full capacity Of the bureau
is employed, and, under the existing
law, no extra force can be used. The
delay is, in q large measure, attributa-
bic to the printing of such large guam
titles Of bonds Of small denomina-
ton, for which there is a demand
wholly unanticipated by the Depart
ment.
