The Appointments Of sJudge Rob


The appointment of Mr.. Robertson to
the Co!lectocship sf New York. bears dis
cussion well. The more it Is talked Of
the stronger it appears to be. II is an ex-
cellent appointment in all respects. Mr..
Robertson is eminently qualified to dis
charge the duties Of the post to which he
has been named. He IS man of known
integrity and ability. and has the entire
confidence Of the public. In a political
point Of view his selection is very sa-
gacious. 1t tends to unite the republicans
of the Empire State. The unanimous en-
dorsement which the State Senate gave il
when 1t was first announced, shows that
it is q strong and popular nomination.
The following from the New York Mail
undoubtedly voices the average republi-
can sentiment of that State:
president Garfield set out to harmonic
the republican party. Within three weeks
from his Inauguration he has succeeded in
his great and difficult task, in the
State where harmony was hardest to
achieve. The republican members Of the
present Legislature are the direct and re-
sponsiblc representatives of the republican
party in this State. They are fresher
from the people than those who, year
ago, voted to return Mr.. Conkling to the
Senate. They are the same men who
made Mr.. Plat Senator. All are united
openly and officially and emphatically. in
favor of the confirmation of Senator Rob.
ertson."
''Such party harmony on an important
Federal nomination has never been known
here since the republicans came into pow
er. 1t is solid and will crush out any
republican, high or low, who undertakes
seriously to disturb or distroy it. What
ever may be the present feelings of the
New York Senators. they, Of all men. are
bound to acquiesce in and obey the instruc.
tions of the body that is the source ol
their power and the official. organic, di.

Thackeray's Play.


In punch" "a new farcical comedy, says
the Pail Mall Gasette, "Mr. II. J. Byron is
said to have approached closer than usual to
the master of his inspiration, Charles Dick
ems. The play sounds well, for Mr.. Byron
has the happy knack of suggesting an.
author of the people without slavishly i'm
itating him. How strange it is that Mr..
Robertson in Caste Ours and countless
plays so directly pointed at Thaclcray and,
derived his tone from him, while Mr.. Byron
just as obviously sits at the feet of Charles
Dickens. George d'Alroy is as Thack-
erayan in essence as is old Middlcwick q
replica of Dickens. And yet neither
Thackeray nor Dickens ever wrote play"
This called forth the following correction
from correspondent: at is not quite
correct to say that Mr.. Thackeray never
wrote play. The Wolves and the Lamb
is to be found among his collected writings,
in the last volume of the later editions.
When first written this little play was
offered to several of the London theaters,
but without success. Years afterward, on
the occasion of sort of house warming
which Mr.. Thackeray gave at his new hO,tse
in Palace Gardens, the Wolves and the
Lamb was acted by an interesting amateur
company, the author himself speaking u
prologue. Subsequently it was performed
ut one of the London thcaters-I think
the Olympic-but was withdrawn after
few nights. The plot of the play is identi-I
cal with that ofthe novel, 'Lovel and the
Widower,' and treats of his favOrite SUBJ
ject of mothers-in-law." We may add that
the mistake as to Dickens is more remark
able. He wrote two burlettas and comic
opera, which were performed in 1S36-'37
at the st. Sames Theatre; farce, ''The
never acted, rccast as u
stors9; and, with. Mark Lemon, farce
called "Mr. Nightingalo's Diary" per-
formed at Devonshire House in 1851 and
published by ]. r. Osgood & Co. in 1877.
