= The Supreme Court Of the United
States began its current session with
about twelve hundred cases on its docket,
and new ones arc added more rapidly
than the Old are disposed Of. Thus the
business continually accumulatcs, and
clients are compelled to wait at least
three years for hearing. This delay
almost amounts to public scandal, yet
Congress appears unable to grapplc with
the problem. Bill after bill has been
introduced, but either the proper remedy
has not been proposed. or else our Solons
are unable to comprehend it. Two plans
are presented to subdiyidc the Su
preme Court, about which grave consti-
tutional doubts exist, and the other to
constitute an intermediate appellate
court, and raise the limit required to
cntitc a cause to be carried to the court
Of last resort. AS the number of patriots
in the United States exceeds the number
of Offices, the addition Of several judge
ships would act As a safety valve, besides
cxpediting public business. If Congress
would cease wasting its time on airy res
olutions and private claims and grievan-
ces, it might be able to prepare some
suitable scheme for the relief Of anxious
litigants and ovcrworkcd justices alike.

rur uAwAIIAN TnEArY.-Represen.

THE HAwAIIAN TREATY.-Represen-
tatives Randall Gibson Of Louisiana,
Hardy of New York, delegation from
New York, delegation from Boston,
and probably one Of the Representatives
from South Carolina, will appear before
the House committee on foreign affairs
on Mondsy next in support of the bill TO
abrogatc the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty.
The Louisiana delegation oppose the
extension Of the treaty because it allows
the admission of raw and semi.refned
sugar from the Sandwich Islands duty
free. Some Of the Boston delegation will
oppose it for similar reason, taking the
ground that if protection is to be tho
policy of the country, all sections should
be treated alike. Others Of the Boston
delegation will oppose the abrogation in
the interest of the MI ssachusetts capital
which is invested there IN sugar planta-
tions and refineries. The South Carolina
interest favor abrogation because, under
the treaty, rice from, China is admitted
duty free by sending it to the Sandwich
Islands and shipping il from there

THE sorru cAnoIISA UNIVERSITY.

a correspondent Of the Columbia Reg.
idcr suggests Judge Bacon for a chair in
the faculty of the South Carolina Uni
vcrsity, and gives the following strong
reasons which dictate his selection
The recent action of the Board Of
Trustees Of the College, determining
upon additional chairs, is cminently wise
and proper, and wil cyeniuaie in render.
ing the curriculum so complete that no
one need leave the State, even for the
most finished education.
1t is Of the highest importance, how
ever, that the chairs be filled by men,
not only Of ability, hut integrity
We are anxious to nee this done, and
hope that our suggestion Of the name Of
Hon. John II. Bacon in connection with
the chair Of history, political economy
and constitutional law, will not bc con
sidered amiss. Judge Bacon has had
unusual advantages, and has improved
them. llo was graduated with di.tinc
ton nt the South Carolina College in
1855, studied law in this State and after
wards in Germany, and from his knowl-
edge # the French and ancient Ian
guages (the former of which he speaks
and writes perfectly WAS enabled to
study the civil law in the original text.
Besides that, rs diplomat ut st. Peters
burg for several years, he WAS forced to
study national aud constitutional las and
political economy practically. He has
been quite a student Of history, and The
sparc moments from II suct cssiul practice
at the bar have been, and still are, spent
in collecting and arranging materials for
a history OF Russia. He is gentleman
of spotless integrity Of character, both
in public and private life. Indeed, we
know Of no ore better calculated to ad
vance the interests Of the College. We
should add, in justice TO Judge Bacon,
(and not as generally done in such in
stances, but truthfllly,) that this article
has been written without his knowledge
or consent
This suggestion, in our opinion, is
most excellent and appropriate. Judge
Bacon is an accomplished gentleman, a
finished scholar and M able man, whose
selection TO the chair indicated would
give the University q most competent
and acceptable professor, WHO would
grace his department by placing the
standard and mode of instruction upon a
par with that Of the best Universities OF
this country. The trustees could make
no selection for this prolcssorship that
would give more general satisfaction than
the election Of Judge Bacon.

WASHINGTON, March Il
There has beer considerable opposition
worked up in the House to the bill to re-
tire General Grant, and appearances arc
that the Democrats will unitedly oppose
it. There is good deal Of talk Of some
Republican opposition, but it is thought
in some quarters that the course OF the
Democrats in taking q stand against it
will have the effect of uniting the ke'
pubicans in its favor. It's passage, how
ever, will be strongly resisted
A friend of ex-senator Platt, OF New
York, says that Plat told him yesterday
in New York, that Conkling would not
accept the supreme Judgeship; that
Conkling said to Plat that he could not
afford to hold that position, as he has
100000 worth of law practice that nc
would have to relinquish if he went or
the Bench. Besides, Conkiing added
according to this authority, that he pre-
fcrred to remain in active politics.

= The Southern fruit market is brisk
and prices arc remunerative 10 the deal

reaching bottom prices. They now sell
at S1.25 per quart, having fallen from
$3.50. They will fall to 81 shortly, and
be succeeded by Charleston strawberries,
which will start at about 81 per quart
and fall off fifty cents in a week or two.
The quantity and quality of Florida
fruit is to be had about the same to-day

Ex-senator Conkling, who was con-
frmed last week rs Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court Of the United States.
has declined the protlered honor. No
assigned, but wc presume that it was
based on the prejudice and clamor which
existed against him during the past year,
growing out Of the party quarrcls, in
which lie was such n prominent actor.
This refusal Of Mr.. Conklng is crcditable
to him, aud shows that he has fine
appreciation of public opinion and of
personal propriety. We believe the Sen
ators from this State opposed his con-
firmation, but it was carried by vote of
80 to ~, which shows that the over
whelming sentiment of the country was
favorable to The confirmation. While in
many respects we arc unalterably op.
posed to Mr.. Conkling, still we believe
he would have made an excellent Judge,
and we would like to have had him retire
from party politics, for in our opinion he
Is The abest man in the Republican
party, and though somewhat unpopular
now, he will not remain so, but is de-
stined to again exert power in the pol
itcs of the United States. His qualifi-
cation as Associate Justice would have
removed him from the political arena,
and would have added energy. ability
and O brilliant mind Of great working
capacity to the Supreme Court. We
very much doubt that the President will
secure so able man to take the vacant
seat on the Supreme Bench as Mr.. Conk-
ling would have been.

The Union Times was mistaken in

The Union Times was mistaken in
crcditiDg an editorial correspondence to
the INTELLIGENCER with the nomination
of Judge Wallace for Governor. Two
years ago we made such n nomination,
and earnestly desired that tho Judge
would consent to make the race if nomi-
mated. as he certainly would have been
but for his declination. Judge Wallace
makes most excellent Judge, and is in
love with his profession, while he does
not like active politics, so that he could
not consistently, with his views Of public
duly or OF Individual tastes, consent 10
run two years ago, and wc know that lie
would not do so now. Therefore, while
the INTELLIGENCER would chccrfully
support him for the Govcrnorship or any
other position to which lie might aspire,
we did not make the nomination as cred
tied to us. There could be 40 more ac-
ceptable man presented for the Govern
orship at this time, but his nomination is
out of the question, rs he thinks his duty
calls him to serve in another capacity,
and could not under any probable cir
cumstanccs be induced to accept the
nomination.
