IT was reported in political circles in
! Washington on the 10th of December,
that the president has rendered to Sena-
tor Edmunds, of Vermont, a seat on the
bench of the supreme court whenever the
resignation of Judge Hunt, of New York,
shall create vacancy. There is no
doubt that Senator Edmunds will accept
the Office, and that, when Judge Hunts
resignation is received, Edmunds:
nomination will be Immediately sent
to the senate. The circuit over
which Mr.. Justice Edmunds will pre-.
side embraces the judicial districts Of
Vermont, Connections, and Northern
Southern, and Eastern New York
Judge Hunt, although permanently dis,
abled for further Judicial service, is moi
quite old enough, neither has he been on
the bench long enough, to entitle him to
pay for life, but congress will undoubt
eddy pass bill placing him on the
retired list. OF the confirmation Of Sen
lEdmunds there cannot be much doubt
! FIRES AND CASUALTIES.
