dency let him do % Justice Davis did,
who, when he became anxious for the
Presidency, resigned his seat on the
Supreme Bench. The New York Herald
thinks that Justice Fields bad example
has now demoralized another Supreme
Court Judge. Justice Miller is announced
q : Republican candidate for the Presi'
dency. Both these gentlemen v it to

to the good fame and independent Judicial
character Of the Supreme Bench, either te
make prompt and public declaration tha'
