WASHINGTON, ID. C., Oct %, 1881.
II Ever since the death of Garfield
there has been much silent jubiIatiol
in the Grant party that was beaten a
the polish the Centennial year, bu
nevertheless succeeded in stealing fb,
presidency. Many have been curiou
| to know the cause of this jubilation
Had not the new President said III

ciples and policy Of his predecessor
No more non-comnital sentence could
have been uttered, for Garfield's poll.
cy, as far as developed, was to HELP
Malone in Virginia. and to secure a
second term, or, at least, to be able to
name as his successor the man from
Maine. But the cause of jubilation is
beginning to /" bob up serenely;;" Just
now it has the shape of Boutwell, OF
Massachusetts,. This dolefnl, bilious,
legal trickster, and political partizan
aspires to rattle around ia the seat
once occupied by a Marshall, a fancy,
and Curtis. But, it must be--con-
fessed, he will notsbe ont of place, for
he will set aside Aliunde Bradley and
nj. X. Waite. I'm recent years, the
bench has been sufficiently degraded
to prepare the country for the anti
climax Of Boutwell's appointment. 4
cannot see how the Senate can con-
sistently confirm Boutwel's nomina-
ton to the Supreme Bench. 1t was
with Great difficulty that Matthews Sc
cured confirmation, and his legal abili-
|ty was never disputed. Boutwell, has
no legal ability, and be is distinguished
only for partizan politics, bile, and i
doleful visage.
Ex-Governor Morgan was appointed
and confirmed Secretary Of the Treas
ury with the understanding. It is be-
lieyed, that he wonld resign as soon al
q public sentiment was sufficiently
Ilsoothod TO endure the permanent APP
pointment Of Conlsling. II seems that
the old gentleman, after reflection, de-
cided that it would not be compatible
lwith his dignity to engage in such d
barter. Afterwards Judge Folgcr was
nominated and confirmed for the place,
and it is understood that be has been
promised the vacancy on the Supreme
Bench that will be made BY the rctire-
ment Of Justice Hunt.
