WHILE the nomination of ex Senator
Conkling by the President as an Asso-
ciate- Justice OF the Supreme Cou t
was = surprise to the country, ii
being unlocked for, yet, after all the
criticism pro and con, the conviction
seems to be that the nomination was a
good one. But few of Mr.. Conkling',
bitterest enemies care SO little for truth
as to deny that he possesses great in
tellectual abilities and fair name
He has made brilliant record in thu
Senate, standing second to none in
depth Of thought and argument and
almost without peer in power Of ora
tory. He has recognized legal tai
ent Of high order. If he accepts b,
will no doubt prove valuable acces-
sion to the Supreme Bench.

The following complimentary notice
from the New York Tribune of a col

est:
II. Mcpherson has appointed as Libra
rian of the House of Representatives
Mr.. Williim Henry Smith, "A gentleman
of color. Mr.. Smith has won deserv-
ed reputation for efficiency as Assist
ant Librarian. A dozen years ago he
was the messenger Of the library, ana
even then was noted for knowing more
about what books the library had, -
where they were, and what was in
them, than almost any of the frequent :
ly changed assistant librarians. Many
4 Congressman has made noise, not
not to say a repu alton, on the facts
which the cOlored messenger dug out
for him in the library and many anoth
er has learned from the same modest
source what mistake ne would make if
he trusted to alleged facts, picked up in
partisan publications. For years this
colored messenger has been recognized
by Democrats and Republicans alike as
sort of walking index to the docu-
ments. His appointment now is the
deserved recognition of IN industrious,
faithful and most capable subordinate
We welcome the first colored librarian
Of the House of Representative.

PENSIONS.
WASHINGTON. Dec. lO.-The. reporL of the
commissioner of pensions for the fiscal wear
ended June 80. 1882, has been issued, Com
missioner Dudley says: The countryland
laws should be generally remodellcd and
simplfed. Congress should give thought.
full consideration to pensions. making dis
ability rather than rank the measure of
pensions to officers and men having been
drawn from and returned to the same walks
in civil life. There are now III different
grades of pensions, and il is proposed to
give each the benefit of his actual rank. AS
an act of Justice, the commissioner recon-
mends also that in order to place all
war claims more readily upon the same
footing, the Limitation in section
47l3 be removed, so that cases barred by
three years litigation shall have their date
of comm encecement at the time of filing
the application. Widows and invalid
soldiers of the regular army and navy whose
rights accrued since June 80, 1880, should
| be allowed reasonable time to file their
applications, and pensions should date
| from the commencement of accruing of the
right instead, as now, from date
of filing application. A yearly salary
| of 5000 is recommended for pension
agents. Speaking of the pension popula.
ton, the commissioner expresses regret
that no provision was made in the tenth
census for its enumeration. The best APP.
Proclamation that can be made shows that
of 20G339 soldiers who enlisted during the
war, pensions applied for amount to only
rs per cent
| The report concludes with the statement
that from the best available information, IL
appears there is asurviying soldier popula-
ton of little over 100000, and OF which
claims for pensions in future may he made
by those who incurred permanent disability.
