THE SUPREME BENCH.

The appointments to the Supreme
Bench have been made by the Gov.
ernor, and their MINES sent to the
Senate for confirmation. The fol
lowing will Constitute the Court
Z. Bermudr:z, Chief Justice, F. P.
Poche, j.. b. Todd, VIM. NJ. Levy
and &. E. Fenner, Of New Orleans.
N'.th the exception Of Colonel Wm.
NJ. Levy, the Court is the same as
announced by rumor several weeks
since. Colonel Levy is, perhaps, The
hest known of all throughout the
State, having been a member of Con
oress from the Fourth District, and
prominent at the bar and in various
public stations for some twenty five
years. By the profession the Chief
Justice is regarded as q jurist Of em
ineLce and as in every way qualified
for The elevated post TO which be has
been called.
Messrs. Poche and Todd were
members Of the late Constitutional
Convention, and are lawyers of abili-
~, though not very generally known
throughout the State. c. E. Fenner
is member OF the law firm of
Brease, Fenner & Hall, of New Or
leans, and like his associates is fne
lawyer and very popular among his
own people.
The appointments are upon the
whole good, aud we presume ere this
have been duly ratified by the Sen
ate.

The Rufnauism of old Dublin.

lcpIuhtH mhGHblIlVsl
A'raditi0n tells how Fighting Fitzgerald,
M exquisite aud duelIfst Of tho last century,
dealt with the bucks" q plague then infest-
ing the streets of Dublin, and, indeed, the
stfeeta of every town In Ireland. These
"hucks'' were hAlf-bred young fellows OF some
means and high animal spirits, whose sole
occupation consisted In making town life In
tolerable to quiet people. Parliament was
more than once compelled to frame penal
enactments with the vihw OF restraining their
peculiar rufliABism; but as there WAS no
properly constituted police to enforce them
these statutes were OF small effect.
Among the tricks OF the Dublin bucks was
this: one Of them would take his stand In
the middle of q crossing on o dirty day, and
drawing his sword, thrust everybody who
wanted to pass into the mud. 1t was Il com
mon thing to SEQ half a dozen or more OF
these unpleasant sentrle5 lining q leading
thoroughfare all ready to afford each other
support. Nor were they content with mere
ly obstructing the passage. They knocked
off hats, ripped up garments and pricked the
limbs Of the wearers with the points Of their
weapons, and broke ribald jestS on them the
while-to the vast amusement OF the raga-
mullins who used to collect In the vicinity,
Ii anybody turned on one OF these buliies the
rest would rush up and form a circle round
him; then selling him by the collar and the
arms they would prick him about the legs
until they considered him punished suffi-
GENTLY.
FlfZ8erald proposed 10 some OF MS brother
exqnisites and tire-eaters that they shouid
clear the streets OF the metropolis of these
pests. 1t was Just the sort of proposal tc
suit such daring spirits, and an association
was Immediately formed to carry it out
Like their leader, they were consummate
swordsmen, and dandie3 OF tho first water
the dandy being In all essentials the anti
podes OF the buck "a distinction which people
who write abou the Ireland OF the past are
very apt to forget.
The association set to work most heartily
and In his way: Whenever a fine afternoon
followed q showery morning they would sail,
forth In knots OF four or five, each being fol
lowed by q lusty valet carrying an oak sap
ling. On reaching the haunts OF the buck
the servants kept the rabble off while the ex
auisites did the work they had undertaken
For a couple Of months few days passed
without three or four ARRAYS between tn
bucks and the dandtes, In which the forme
invariably came off ~second-best. Ere lon,
the mainstay OF the bucks, the mob, turne'
against them too. This meant that the de
feat was sure to be followed by hooting an,
pelting with mud and stones. Then tn
pleasant pastime Of blocking the thorough
fares In broad daylight was abandoned.

LIST OF LETTERS

Reeds ON EIge Toniaoures dyspepsia.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1880-01-09
Its Exultant Tone Explained.

ED. JOURNAL From the confident and
rather exulting tone of the Sentinel in re-
ferring TO the delinquent tax list, &C., it
would seem that certain county officials
are afraid OF Evers and his paper, and in
disposing Of the county printing dare not
" saUe money TO the tar payers" which they
constantly claim to do in the matter Of
county ditch bond sales, &c. Either, il
seems, they fear that the Sentinel might
spoil their chances for Office hereafter, or
expose certain transactions which they
would not like to have made public.
Some people thought the reason why the
liberal offer VI the JOURNAL aud other
county papers has not been accepted by
said officials, is because the publishers oil
those papers have seen fit TO criticise some
of their acts. But this would show toe
much petty spite on the part OF county
officers who certainly have no right to re
venge themselves at the public expense
1t is therefore much more probable that
in giving the Sentinel the printing at It's
own price they are influenced more by
fear than anything else. But if neither
Of the foregoing explanations are correct
then they must abide by the only other
construction that Can-with any show o.
1eason--be put on their conduct, and thai
is: The Whoie business is managed By a com
bindtion on ring-men who are bent on
growing rich at the expense OF tax payers
All other reasons heretofore given why the
county printing is awarded to the Sentine
