the Bench OF the Supreme Court; but it
seems to be settled fact that our dis

appointment, as he is understood to be
the successor Of Judge Woodruff instead
of Judge Dalrimple.

The case of General Fitz>John Porter
ought not to be made political or partl@
san. 1t is ever possible to do wrong
with the best intentions, and General
Porter was condemned at time when
public opinion undoubtedly desired a
CONSPICUOUS victim. II the court which
said General Porter was wrongfully dis
missed the service was a legally consti-
tuted tribuual-and this is rot questioned
then hisjudgment must be respected
and made effective. This court has, in
effect, said that the condemned officer
suffered an intolerable wrong, with all
the consequent disgrace; and if Repub-
lies are not really ungrateful, ample,
though tardy justice will be awarded
In any event it is one of those cases in
which there should be no question o.
party politics involved.
