language can overstale tho enormty Of the

fathers foresaw even such dire possibilities
and provided for them. The consli,u-

in Just such an emergency. The vice
president, on the death of the president, in

as if no change had occurred. In this case
the vice president is an upright, brave, able
man, sbundantly qualified for the great trust
which providence may have in store for him
In his hands no harm will come to the pub

To strive to array hostility or distrust

wicked and reasonable. No patriot, what,

United States District and Circuf'
Courts.

The most important feature OF the morA'
ing exercises was the legal argument in the
case of Woolf, Blackjack & o., VS. a b
Norton. The question involved was the val
idity of an attachment, when, it was alleged
the deed of assignment was partly frandus
lent in law. The point in issue seemed to be
az to whether tho assignment itself was volo
or the assignee himself responsible. Inc
Judge took the case under advisement and
consideration. 1t was pure legal argument
on new question and was handled In
most mssterly style. The lawyers say IL was
the best presented case of the term.
