VACANCIES IN THE NEWJERSEY BENCH.

TRENTON, June 23.--It will be tho duty Of
the next Governor Of New Jersey to appoint a
Chief Justice. Chief Justice Beasley's term
will expire In 1885. The next Governor will
also appoint successors to Judges Van Syckle
and Scudder Of tho. Supreme Court whose
terms will expire at the end OF tho present year.
For that reason there IL much anxiety concern
ing tho coming Gubernatoriol contest among
the judicial circles OF the State. The Supreme
Court has been In session here this week. The
members OF the Court have been discussing
the prospect quite earnestly. SO have many OF
the leading lawyers Of the State. Several OF the
more prominent candidates in both parties. 1t
is understood. have been approached upon tho
subject. There arc more aspirants for the
vacant Judgeships than Is generally supposed.
Tho Chief Justice does not worry much. He
would like to DO reappointed. and his reap
pointment. will be pretty generally. urged by
the bar: Yet he will have opposition In un-

question but that tho mention OF Judge Scud-

by several Republican lenders this week as q

gentleman receive the nomination. The truth
Is that both parties arc at sea respecting tho
Tess 1t. however. y
A novel suggestion was made by leading
lawyer before a number OF gentlemen in q
hotel barrOom one night this week. He said he

hers Of the legal profession, would like to see
Chancellor Runyon and Chief Justice Beasley

mrably fitted for his position. But he had an
idea that each could add even still moro vitality

way to bring 1t about. The Chancellors term
does not expire until 1887 He could resign.
Then tho next Governor must agree to appoint
Mr.. Beasley to fill Mr.. Munyon's place and APP

suggestion created serios OF smios.

success by continuing to recognize the
MoNTERo regime. which has hitherto rem
dered nugatory all negotiations for peace.
We can hardly credit the report forwarded
from Washington, according to which our
Government has proposed that part Of
Chili's claims against Peru should be sub
mitted TO arbitration. Much less con we be-
lievo that such a proposition has been
laid before the ostensible representatives Of
the two republics, for this would BIO to
invest Mr.. ELMORE with an Importance
which, 1t has long been evident does
not belong to him. But aside from the
absurdity Of appealing TO Mr.. GILMORE, there
Is something impertinent in the suggestion
itself. Why should Chilis claim for indemni-
ty from conquered enemy DO submitted to
arbitration, any more than that OF Germany
against France In 1871. or that Of the United
States against Mexico in 1s4s I? In each Of
the cases named the victorious powor would
have regarded such proposition on tho part
Of an outsider as an insult. Sefior GoDOY,
tho CHILEAN Minister, Is perfectly right In
saying that tho time for State which re-
CARDS with equal friendship both parties to
controversy to propose arbitration Is before
q war, not after 1t.
Our State Department should by this time
have become thoroughly familiar with tho
temper and convictions Of our people re-
garding this South American business. They
will not tolerate interference in any form or
under any guise. and they look with grow
ing dissatisfaction on the continued recog-
milton OF MoNTERo and his agent GILMORE,
because this is, in effect to take sides against
IaLEsIAs and tho peace party in Peru.

Our State Department and Perm,

1t was to be expected that Mr.. PARTRIDGE
w6ald not be permitted to return to Peru in
diplomatic capacity after the exhibition
OF stupidity which no contrved to
mako during his brief term of Office. No
sooner had no distinguished himself bv adj
Y'sApg our Government to unite with Euro
tpeanSpowcrs in an interference with the
Youth Amcrcan quarrel than leave of ab-
sencs was granted to him, and this first step
toward polite dismissal has naturally been
followed by what Is considerably termed IN
acceptance Of his resignation.
In relieving itself from Mr. PARTRIDGE
the State Department is well counscllcd. but
We are by no means convinced that the an
pointmcnt OF a now Minister to Peru lust at
this juncturo Is judicious. For to whom will
no BIO accredited? To MoNrERo, the nom.
mai head OF the sham CALDERoN regime
at Arquipa? Surely Mr.. FRELINGUYs EN-
Is aware that tho serious embarrassmeuts
IN which hc has boon involved by his pretlc-
cessors Peruvian policy are largely due to
the fundamental blundcr committed in rec
ognizing CALDERoN, Notwithstanding Mr.
CiRIsrIANcY's earnest romonstrancc 1t is n
sufficient Inconvenience that tho State Depart
ment should still feel constrained to accent
III the role of Peruvian Minister Mr.. ELMoRE.
VINO represents nothing but the semblance
OF Government which Is skulknR behind
the carthworks at Arcquipa.
II our State Department would formally
withdraw Its recognition OF the CALDERoN-
NoNrERo faction, and OF its diplomatic agent
at Washington, 1t would make long moveto-
wnM rcdrcssing the injuries inflicted On Chill
ians and Peruvians alike by Mr. BLAINE and
our last two Ministers at Lima. We would not
have It too hastily acknowledge as de- Cacio
Government tho regime constituted In the
north OF Peru by IGLEsIAs and tho Gaia
marca Congress, because it might thus fall
unwittlngly into an error similar to that
which Mr.. BLAINE knowingly commit

A RAILROAD POOL PROBLEM
Carieus sitaatisn Of the New York Grain
Trade At Present.

Tho grain merchants Of New York have for
some time been indignant on account Of the
action OF tho trunk line railroads In imposing
charge OF one cent q bushol upon grain passed
directly into ships from railroad elevators a
service which has heretofore been included In
the cost OF freight. Tho merchants assert that
by this increased charge the main advantage
OF the elevators has been lost and That there Is
now an additional cost Of from two to two and
q half cents a bushel on all grain coming to this
port. The matter has been laid before the
Railroad Commissioners. who still have the
subject under consideration.
The original object OF building tho immense
grain elevators OF tho Now York Central and
Eric Railroads was to save the cost OF trans
shipment OF grain from cars to ships more than
once. Before the elevators were built 1t was
to transfer The grain from the cars

How to Make the Day Memorable.

This day. Sunday, tho oath OF June,
the seventeen birthday OF HENRY WARD
BEECIIER occurs. and We are told that his
neighbors and his church have planned to
make tho day memorable.
But 1t Is within the power OF only one man
to make 1t memorable as 1t should be. That
man Is Mr.. BEECHER himself.
For nearly ten years past he has been living
under burden which has oppressed his con-
science almost unbcarably. He has had to
play the part Of hypocrite, character little
suited to his nature, which Il 'pen and spon-
taneous. He has been so conducting himself
as to make lie seem the truth, and yet he
has been all the timc well aware that he was
deceiving only the weak and credulous.
That must have been terribly wearing upon
him; and the rapidity with which he has
aged tells the story OF his suffering under the
load. He is older in appearance than man
OF his exuberant physique ought to be at
seventy. 1t is manifest from his public
utteranccs that the high spirits which for
merly distinguished him are no longer spon-
taneous, but are manufactured for the occa-
sion, artificial and unreal. No one can doubt
that he Is n restless, unhappy, and dissatis-
fled man. His work has lost its interest for
him, though idleness is probably even more
wearlsome.
He cannot hang upon the ragged edge
much longer. 1t tears him. and 1t will wear
him out. He is not the sort Of man to bear
tho strain Of keeping up false pretenccs. His
mask suffocates him.
Let him, therefore, make his SEVENTEEN
birthday memorable by the confession which
his peace requires. Let him once more speak
the truth to his fellow men. Then he will have
lifted off the burden which gals him so un-
endurably. and again he will be o free man.

The Mysterious Accident on the Man.
haitian Beach Railroad.

An accident occurred on the Manhattan
Beach Railroad on Thursday evening by
which about twenty persons were hurt. Tho
locomotive and several cars OF a train from
Brooklyn were thrown from the track at O
place called Kowenhoven's curve. Accord
ing to the report in the Brooklyn Eagle this
is always dangerous point, and the speed
there is limited to fifteen miles an hour. II
the train had been running faster, many pas
sengers would probably have been killed.
The first explanation was that the recent
rains had SO loosened the roadbed that tho
track sank out Of place. Now, however, We
arc told that the accident was ian unac-
oountable dispensation OF Providence" 1t
seems that the rails did not spread at all, and
that the train ran of for reason not to DO
explained as has happened on the best pcr-
tions Of the Pennsylvania road"
The Railroad Commissioners ought to in
vestigate the causes Of this accident The
law empowers them to inquire into any rail-
road disaster resulting in loss OF life or
injury to any person which in their judg-
ment shall require investigation. 1t needs
no argument to show that the more in
applicable the accident seems the moro
reason there is for inquirin9 into 1t. The
Railroad Commissioners should never fail to
investigate disaster which the railway
officials attribute to a mysterious dlspensa-
ton OF Providence.
Notwithstanding tho reference to similar
occurrences on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
we have an idea that these mysterious dis
pensations Of Providence can be averted by
good management. II Kowenhovens curve,
whore this accident occurred, is truthfully
described as being always dangerous point,
o prudent corporation would change tho
location of that part OF its line. 1t is tlmo
enough to refer accidents to the hand OF
Providence when 1t has been made plain that
man has done oil In his power by way Of
prevention.
Let tho Railroad Commissioners look into
this matter.

Workers to carefully study map OF this city
