The Judgeship.

A Berwick correspondent of the Boston Post
of Friday, writes as follows concerning the
nomination, by Gov. Plaisted, of Hon. Nathan
Ceaves as Judge Libbey's successor;
To the Editor Of the Boston Post:
Referring to the communication in your pa
per OF the 18th inst, from Augusta, in regard
to the nomination of Hon. Nathan Cleaves for
justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of
Maine, it seems to me that some arguments
and statements of your informant are open to
criticism. No one claims for moment that
either Mr.. Cleaves or Mr.. Putnam are not emil
nently fit for the position of Judge of the
Supreme Judicial Court.
But is there nothing to be said on behalf Of
Judge Libbey? / have no acquaintance with
Judge Lihbey. and have only met him few
times in the discharge of his official duties, hut
wish to say here, and think large MAORI
ty of the Maine Bar, irrespective of party, will
agree with me, that have always found him
high-minded, honorable gentleman, and a
learned, painstaking jurst; a man always anx-
ious to administer justice to all parties, without
fear, favor or hope of reward Your Augusta
informant rather fippantly remarks, 'There
is no earthly reason why the Governor should
have nominated Hon. ARENAS Libbey, except
poor one, and that is, that it has perhaps, been
customary 10 renominate judge who has only
served one tsrm." Let us examine this state
ment a little. He says perhaps it has been Gus
tomary to renominate judges who have only
boFVod Ouc t0fll. EVoTy foSluont Oh IulS Otalo
who knows anything about it knows it has
been an invarabe rule to do SO, and cannot
now recall but one exception since our judges
have held office by their present tenure. Al
ter judge has served ono term and bscome
thoroughly acquainted with the routine duties
of his office, is he not likely to be more eff
Gent officer than new man of equal ability?
His acquaintance with the reports Of decided
cases is more accurate and extensive, and he is
more of a judicial habit of mind than lawyer
fresh from the contests of the bar.
The argument advanced by your informant
that Hon. Nathan Ceaves is an active politi-
clan, while Judge Libbey is at best, but pas
sive one, defeats its own purpose.
l have yet to learn that to be an active poll
tician is recommendation for judicial office.
1t is frequently 80 considered, | am sorry to
say, too frequently for the impsrtiality and
purity Of our American bench; but how any
man can advance such statement as sound
argument, cannot understand.
The manner in which Judge Libbey has dis
charged the duties of his high Office has done
honor TO himself and the bench, of which he
has been most able member. His acts have
been entirely beyond criticism No cause ex-
lists why he should not be re-appointed. An
attempt to slight man of this character con-
POUNDS all distinctions of honor and dishonor.
and is deprecated by every fair-minded Demo
crat in tho State. X

The Proud Bird Meant Business

Capt. Smith, master of the American schoon-
or Norman, Of Pembroke, now discharging a
cargo in Philadelphia from Windsor, N. S., ex
perienced considerable trouble while in the
latter port, with the English military authori-
ties, concerning one of the crew who was
claimed as deserter from the British army
While the vessel was unloading her cargo the
commander of the garrison detailed sergeant
md i've privates to board the vessel and
bring the alleged offender to the fort. Capt
Smith, happening to hear of their intentions,
brought the matter before United States Con-
sui B. K Hobart, who forbade, in the name OF
his government, any arrest on board an Amer
lean vessel. The crew in the meantime armed
themselves with pistols and other weapons to
protect themselves, while the British soldiers
watched the crew from the dock to which the
vessel was fastened. The unusual proceedings
were kept up for some time, until the authori-
ties in Halifax ordered the military to their
quarters and that the facts be placed in the
hands of the civil authorities, who abandoned
the case entirely. The Norman is now loading
for Boston

The Maine Central road is having 175 feet OF

The officers of the trunk lines and their
Western connections have formed pool Ter

tanning the rates upon this class OF frelgnt.
The contract is to run for five years from April
18th. The division for the present will be up
on the basis of the distance between chicago
and New York: Cattle, gross rate, 30 cents
per 100 pounds; live hogs net rate, 30 cents per

The Toronto Globe says the Grand Trunk
has decided to close its passenger office in
Milwaukee to-day. In the competition

freight office will be kept open.
One of the most difficult questions to be set
tied by the trunk lines in the new pooling ar
arrangement, which they are now desireus Of
arranging for its enduring for the next five
years relates to the amount of traffic to be as
signed to each one of the parties to the agree
ment. 1t has been proposed to assign the bus
mess upon the basis of the traffic of 1880. To
this there is great opposition upon the part of
both the Grand Trunk and tho Erie railways,
the Grand Trunk claiming that the completion
of their independent connection with Chicago
and other improvements made by them
since 1880, entitle them to larger proportion
of the through tonnage than that carried dur
ing that year. But the Erie can, and undoubt-
edly will, make the strongest aud most eff
cient claims to the board of arbitrators before
whom the question will ba taken for decision,
for much larger share of the traffic.
