THE SUPREME COURT.
Some Of the Justices Whose Play 10
Hard Work. .!,.-..5 -..5r,
Washington Letter'l,

expect to see at least two OF the men,
bers missing. One Justice is absent
from the bench this fall, Judge Hunt,
of New York, and it Is not probable
that he will again take his seat with
his associates; but the two gentlemen
whose presence is constant surprise,
even to their friends, are Mr.. Justice
of these gentlemen is, believe, sew
enty-six years of age, tho other, I
think, seventy-five. Any time within
five or six years they could have both
been retired from active service on full
pay, as they have filled very much
more than the term which q just and
proper law provides for active judicial
service on t.lfs BENCH and could live
the remainder of their declining years
in ease on full pay. But they are not
inclined to go. Age does not seem to
have weakened their faculties or to
have impaired their ability to work.
In 1874 Mr.. Justice Clifford could have
retired on full salary. He is there still,
to the annoyance, doubtless, of young
er men within his circuit who are as
great satisfaction of himself and of his
friends. Four years ago It was thought
that his time had come. He lay at
Portland, Me-, his home, during the
summer, too sick to be moved. But
when the fall days came he announced
to his family that he was going to
Washington. He said that he should
go if he had to be lifted to the cars.
He did 60, and was lifted to the cars,
and every hour as he rolled on toward
the capital city hisstrength came back.
judicial routine is the habit Of his life,
as it is of all old judicial officers. One
reason, probably, why they decline to
retire to make way for younger men is
because they dread to let go. No one
may tell what might happen to the
physical machinery should the accus.
toned routine be abandoned. 1t has
been the experience of many old men
that the years Of ease, to which they
looked forward, were, In fact, the years
which they should most avoid, and
that health and happiness, and even
life itself, depended upon running
smoothly along with correct habits in
the we'll worn old ways. This seems
to be the belief of the two oldest JUS
tices of the Supreme Court. They are
there because they do not care, or do
not dare, to stop. Yet the position of
Justice of the Supreme Court is ono of
the most arduous within the range of
human effort. Chief Justice Chase, in
speaking of the duties of the bench,
once said to a friend: "When 1 was
Secretary Of the Treasury I thought 1t
was the hardest position In the govern
ment. This was great mistake. There
were scores of bureau officers always
ready to render me assistance. 1 could
at moment detail a skillful man to
report upon any special subject. There
were experienced hands to do all the
formal part of the work, SO that my
duties there were mainly of direc-
tory character. But in this place of
Chief Justice there are no duties that
can be delegated. Everything must be
done by ones own hand"

In the above computation we give
the Republicans the States of Illinois
and California, which may fairly be
considered doubtful, and granting them
both Oregon and Wisconsin, it will be
seen that they cannot by any method
of figuring command more than 166
electoral votes, which is 10 less than
majority. With a candidate for Vice
President from Illinois-such a man AS
Glen. J. NJ. Palmer, for instance-that
State could easily be carried by the
Democrats, and in that event the party
could afford the loss of New York. But,
as we have said, the existing breach in
the party in that State will no doubt
be healed before the Presidential cleo
ton, and with united Democracy the
Empire State will be Democratic to
the core. We can afford to allow the
Republican party to take Ohio and yet
win the battle in 1880. There is mar
gin enough to work upon, provided no
grave blunders are committed. In
fact, the result in Ohio settles all dis
sensions on the financial question and
cleaves the way for u rousing Demo-
cratic victory in 1880.

One boat crossing the Fulton ferry was over half
