RUMeRs ABOUT THE LooCHoo MEDIATION.
PUBLIC OPINION IN HONG KONG.

HONG KONG, July IL, 1879.
Advices from Pekin state that strenuous
efforts made by foreign agents to excite a
hostile feeling against Japan in the Loochoo
affair; that China is not disposed to take active
steps of any kind, but listens willingly to the
schemes proposed by outsiders. 1t is not be-
lieved that the Pekin government contemplates
asserting any authority over Loochoo, but it is
thought possible that it will enter into lengthy
discussions with view Of keeping the question
open as long as possible.

There IS an important move ment among the
Jews to return to the agricultural lfe which
they followed in Palestine down 70 the time OF
JosEPHus the destruction OF their temple, the
subsequent breaking up OF their Government
and nationality, md their scattering Throughout
the world. The prejudice against the Jewish
race became SO great at one time that 1t was i'm
possible for them to hold real estate, and they
were consequently compelled TO engage in pur-
suits in which they could conceal their wealth.
Now It is proposed to establish Jewish colonies
on the public lands Of the United States, where
as Of old they NAV sit under their own vines
and ds-trees. They will not return to Pales-
tine, which, like the ancient city Of Jerusalem,

ofdce-holder might clai1n the right
to continus in Office indefinitely. The
opposition to Judge ,McA111srER arises,
not from any irrational prejudice, o.
any hot-headed resolution to punish him for
errors committed in the past, but from q
common conviction that he has shown him
self unfit to occupy the position Of Jud re.
Wise men look more at the future than at
the past. They do not reflect so much that
Judge MoA111srEn has leaned strongly to
tie alde Of wrong in the past as that he will
be likely to lean strongly to the side Of wrong
in the future. The case against Judge
MoA111s7En is briefly this: That, be-
ing man Of strong prejudices, aud
bound up BY social and religious ties
of q peculiar nature, he is apt to
swerve from the straight line of justice in
special cases. Not that be would conscious
II do so. There is no man on the Bench
who is less susceptible to corrupt influences
than Judge McAL11srER, or who would more
quickly spurn an improper consideration
of any kind openly put before him.
The difficulty is, that being q man Of
strong convictions and passionate nature, he
does not always perceive when the considers
tions are proper and when not. He is too
likely to make the worse appear the better
reason; to doff the robes Of the Judge and
assume those Of the advocate; to sink the
merits Of the Gauss in his own gym
pathies with the clients. The removal
Of Judge MoA1I1srER from the Bench
which We think should be accom-
2lished at the approaching election-would
te no hardship to him. He is an able
lw!er. If he had, in the SULLIVAN
cata exhibited the same zeal and legal
dezeHty as counsel for defendant that
he exhibited on the Bench, his fee
would hare been fur larger than his salary
for ths period of the trial. He Is, in fact,
too gooda lawyer to be On the Bench. He |

is the constant activity in building. TT
raal-estate column Of TEE TRIBUNE has latel
given SONS interesting facts on this poin
Putting figures aside, it must be evident
the most casual observer that building
this city is progressing very rapidly. The1
has been no ; time since the PAM
when SO many buildings have been" i
process of erection as now. They are, more
over, buildings Of all kinds, s,-stores, ware
houses, dwellings, balls, flats, and shanties
The kinds Of buildings put up show tha
the growth of the city has been healthy ant
legitimate.
A second evidence Of the prosperity q
Chicago is afforded by the unusual activity
! in city real estate. Transactions like th'
| sale Of the Pike Building and the Majo1
Block, in which the purchases arc made fo1
investment by Eastern capitalists, are snf
fcient Indications Of the confidence which
is felt in the future Of the city by sagacioui
business men. It is also remarkable, fact
that numbers Of Chicago business men, like
Messrs. FIELD, LETTER, and others, have
buildings. If the Judgment of such men il
worth anything, nothing can be better as
sured than the continued growth and pros-
periy Of Chicago.
4 third evidence of growth ia afforded by
the many removals hither Of business firms,
or the establishment Of branches in this
city. The branch Of A. 7. STEWART & Co.
is an example,. The movement of that firm
has been followed by that of hundreds--it is
hardly IN exaggeration to say thouBands-of
Others. This year the grain-dea1ors have
begun to move from tbs seaboard to Chi
'cago. Within few months dozen i'm:
portant grain firms in New York, Baltimore,
and Philadelphia have organized branches
here, being melted thereto possibly by the
remarkable dealings of "Jnf" KEEsE in
our markets.
The fourth and most important evidence
OF the progress Chicago is making is the
constant increase in the volume of business
transacted. In spite of the fire of 1871,
and the panic Of 1878, and the great
shrinkage in values, the sales of the
leading wholesale houses Of Chicago have
year by year, not only in the ag-
gregate bulk of goods disposed of, but in the
aggregate Of prices realized. No other city
Of the Union, it is safe to say, can point to
similar record. The principal dry-goods
firms Of Chicago probably sold twice over Us
many goods, dollar for dollar, in 1878 as
hey did in 1870. This result could not
nave been accomplished, in the face of all
he adverse circumstances, except for the
emily marvellous growth Of the city and the
country, and the common
of the fact that, as a
market for Western people, Chicago is su-
'erior to New York or any other city in
lmerica -
Precisely when Chicago is to be the great |
ity Of the Continent it would be hazardous

TIE JUDIuAL NOMINATIONS.

! AAA6 ~oOAAdA NVH11NAl2UM3.
The Republican Conventions Which met
yesterday nominated Mr.. THOMAS DENT, OF
this city, as their candidate for Judge Of the
Supreme Court. This nomination has all
the concentrations which the most exactine
could require. One Of the ab1est lawyers at
he Bar of the State, ,a9thorough scholar, q
man of rare intellectual accomplishments, he
will, if elected, carry with him TO the
] Supreme Court qualifications rs great as
have adorned that Court at any time in its
history.
Messrs. WILLIAMS, BoorH, RosENraA1.
BUELL., and REED were nominated for the
Circuit Court. Messrs. WILLIAMS and Boora1
are at prevent members OF tbs Court. Messrs.:
KosESTHAI, BUELL., and REED have been
long known to the people Of this city. Mr.
REED was Stata's-Attorney of this county
for twelve years. Messrs RosES1aA1 end
BUELL. have been successful practitioners at
the Bar, and their names have long been
familiar to the public. It is hardly necessary
to say anything concerning these gentlemen
personally intellectually, and as lawyers.
they will compare most advantageously with
the persons nominated on the Democratic
ticket
It will be remembered that the Republicans
were forced into the nomination Of
ticket composed e1clusire1y y of Republicans
by the determined aud offensive action of
the Democratic party. The Judges Of our
Circuit Court have always been nominated
and elected by the united action of all
parties. The Democrats, excited over the
accidental election of their caudidate for
Mayor in April, then determined to violate
oil precedent, and cleo: full bench Of
Democrats. They discardad WILLIAMS,
BOOTH, and F4nwE11 because they were Re- |
publcans, and nominated MoEAN, Tu1E1,
md BAnNuM because they were Democrats |
They are therefore running a ticket Of Demo-
:rats for the Bench; they insist upon having
i've Circuit Judges who are Democrats,
making the Democracy of the candidates
superior to all other considerations.
There was no remedy for this action but
Q oppose these partisan candidates By the
domination Of five Republicans, and thus.
rhile giving the public an opportunity to
elect first-c1ass men for the Bench, give
he people the opportunity to defeat and re-
uke the introduction Of party politics into
he election Of Judges.
The duty of electing the candidates nomi-
ated yesterday is now upon the Republic
rs and the people generally of this city
I'd county. Candidates cannot be elected
1thout votes. There should be no luke
armness in this election. There should be
full turnout Of voters, and every man in
us city should feel it to be his personal duty
go to the polls and use every honorable t
i'd legal means to elect the candidates nom |
ated yesterday. With full vote in an the J
y wards, and in the county towns, there is t
reason to doubt the election OF a1l the Re- /
lblican candidates. t
