THE VACANCY ON THE BENCH.

THE VACANCY ON THE BENCH.
The all-important question, howev-
er, Is on the election of judges. Two
years ago the opponents of Chief Jus
tice Royce made a still hunt and came
within seven votes of defeating him.
opposition to the Smith railroad ring
coupled with Royce's refusal to make
out his tax inventory created an oppo-
sltlon almost strong enough to floor
him. This year the opposition will be
more open, more determined and more
bitter. The defeat of the republican
county ticket in Franklin county is not
probably due entirely to opposition to
Judge Royce, but it will have an i'm
mense effect against his reelection, and
the determined opposition of Franklin
county will probably defeat him. As
Judge Redfeld is not a candidate for
reelection, in the event of the defeat of
Judge Royce, which is probable, Judge
Jonathan Ross of st. JOhnsbury will
be the senior judge and entitled to the
mantle of chief justice. But while
there will be no opposition to him for
reelection as an assistant Judge, he
will meet with determined opposition

Chinese EndecIsiOn.

Arminus Vambery, the Hungarian uav-
eler and Orientalist, has explained the queer
irresoiution If the Chinese government,
which will probably enable the French ad-
venturcrs TO play Billy Walker game.
Like the image Of NebuchadneZzar, the
Chinese COLOSSUS has an iron head, which, in
case of "a general commotion, threatens to
dissolve tue Conference Of the compound. In
the highlands IL Yunan, at the southwestern
extremity Of the Chinese empire. there are
millions of headstrong Mohammedans, who
have more thuh once expelled the represent
atives of the general government, and who
for a couple Of years bave only awaited a
favorable opportunity to rise in general re-
belliun. They not only defy the emperor's
ENJOYS, hut deny his competence in toto,
and question the legality of all feudal
statutes.
Tn 1868 these Nihilists flayed the stadt-
holder Of Tunglan, and impaled some 10000
OF his subjects before their progress was
stopped by the fortified towns Of Kwert-
schan, garrisoned by feudal chiefs and their
Mongol retainers. After a few indecisive
skirmishes the general government, as usual.
tried TO temporize They opened negotia-
lions in the name of provincial government.
They made several attempts 10 get up
counter revolution They tried to bride the
rebel chieftains, and ut last purchased n tenn
porary PEA % by the most humiliating con
cessions-any thing rather than to risk di-
rect encounter with the forces OF IA superior
race.
A thousand years ago the same policy
prompted them to build their Northern
Bulwark," equivalent to u continuous stone
wall from Cincinnati to Salt Lake City.
Their Know Knothing methods, too, were in.
spired by the instinct of self-preservation,
the hope to conceal the fatal secret Of their
national impotence.
