address OF Monday in the House of Lords upon Earl
Cairns he related how he had proposed TO him
when Lord Chancellor the appointment of Mr..
BENJAMIN to the Bench. Mr.. Benjamin. says Lord
Coleridge " was man whom was anxious TO have
seen among the judges Of England, and who to my
knowledge would have felt himself honored BY
being placed among them." LOrd Cairns, however,
refused to consider his claims. We are not told
why nor why Lord Coerdge, having disclosed 50
much, should have kept back this critical part OF
the story All ne saws is that Lord Cairnss grounds
were urgent aud fOrcible. and such as most me1
would have held TO be conclusive. The Lord Chan
ceilcr's personal wishes were with Mr. Benjamin.
1t is just conceivable that either no or Lord Bea
consheld may have thought tie nomination of
Confederate Secretary of the Treasury not likely
to be acceptable to the American Government or the
American people. Those were long before the days
when we expected to Departmental flag III
Washington at half mast in honor of dead Con-
federate Minister. De that as it may, | can only
say once more that MIR. Benjamin used TO be
thought of here as an American, and as one whose
extraordinary powers did signal honor to his
country.
