The OMtS ana ms.

The commission held by the editor of
this paper since September, 1868, as
United States Gauger for the Second
District o. Wisconsin, has been revoked,
the revelation taking effect on the Goth
inst. The invitation OF Collector A. G.
Parkinson, dated July 2Sth, asking the
guager to resign and thereby be the in
strument Of his own decapitation, having
been declined, the aid Of Secretary
Manning was invoked and the "fnc
work" of the immortal Higgins in due
time performed the task of retiring the
last remnant here of the Republican
administration. The final outcome of
this matter is square toed political action
such as. we believe in, devoid of all civil
service clap-trap, a Republican office
holder being removed by Democratic
administration because he is a Republic
an, and Democrat placed in the office
because he is a Democrat. The new
gauger, Hugo jacob. is a gentleman
well competent to discharge the duties CT
the office, and we doubt not will prove
himself prompt and accommodating
officer.
In parting 1t is proper for us to say
that we shall ever remember with pleas
ant feelings all those with whom we have
come in contact in an official way during
our term of IL years service.

doubtful if sufficient, can be produced to
convict.

Hearings Postponed by the United

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The United
States Supreme Court rendered no deci-
sion today. Several motions to advance
cases for hearings were disposed of, tha
most important being in the Virginia
coupon cases, six in number. All were
advanced and FIVE Of them were fixed for
nearing on the third Monday in Novem-
Der. The petition Of r. B. Chatiin lChaf-
tin vs.. Taylor, Virginia coupon case, for
a summary process TO compel obedience
to the Judgment of the court rendered
last year was denied without inquiring as
to its merits, for the reason that after
the mandate the case went down to the
Circuit court of HenricO county. a
trial was had that resulted in another
judgment that has been brought TO the
Supreme court for review. Upon another
writ of error in this case the court will be
called on to determine whether the man
date has been followed, and If not TO di-
rect what should have been done. The
process asked for by the petitioner is,
therefore, unnecessary.

Judge Richard II. Clark for the position
Of Judge of the Stone mountain circuit,
created by the Legislature only few
weeks ago, has lost his mind, and has
heen compelled to abandon his profession.
He passes his time sitting in chair. and
with vacant gaze runs his eyes over
newspapers handed him by members Of
his family. He rarely says anything,
and when he does his remarks are such
that they have no connection, and in
consequence he cannot be understood.
