Of this unexpected event tipon the
fond mothers present could scarce
ly have been exceeded by an cleo
trio shock When the excitement
had subsidized. sufficiently to enable
them to fully comprehend the sit
uation, each mother whose lucky
star had prompted her to bring her
baby to.the.reception, lost no time
in wiping its little. .mouth, prepara-
tory TO the osculatory treat suppos-
ed to be in store for it, while the
faces of the mothers whose darlings
had been left in charge of servants
at home wore a "look Of anguish,
akin to despair" Whether over
come by realizing sense of the
gravity Of the situation, or that he
thought one baby day enough,
the President failed to rep: at the
exploit. II.

TIE New York World has the
following Biographical notice Of our
newly appointed United States at
torney:
"Thomas Smith, the new Uni
ted States attorney for New Mexico,
is a son Of Extra Billy" Smith.
He fought Elam, editor OF the Rich
mond Wing, two years ago, be-
cause Of the latter reflected upon
the character Of his father. He
shot Elam in the thigh. For a
time the wound was thought fatal
Smiths record will stand hln in
good stead in New Mexico, as he
will go out there specially armed
with instructions to prosecute the
members of the land ring who have
so long plundered the public do
main OF that territory. Smith was
a candidate some time ago Tor the
United States district attorneyship
for tie eastern district Of Virginia,
but fonnd that the place had been
promised to the brother-in-law ot
Parson Davis, the Mugwump minis
ter at Albany, who certified to AIR.
Cleveland's good character during
the last campaign"
The same paper also has the fol-
lowing editorial paragraph
"Smith, OF Warrenton, Va, who
shot Major Elam in duel about
two years ago. has been appointed
to a small federal office in New
Mexico, and an evening contempor-
AIRY heads its announcement Of the
event, "a Deulist Appointed. y
Why should there be prejudice in
the case Of Smith -! The republic
an nominee for governor OF Virgin
il boasts that he has fought twenty
six duels. and it is iDtimated that
he has backed out of half as many
more"

POLITICAL UPHEAVAL.

in Ohio, must come as a revelation
to weak -kneed Republicans. The
key. nete OF the campaign was
struck by Senator Sherman, at Mt.
Gilead. 1t was there assumed by
him, that until every man, OF any
race or color, everywhere within
the United States, -an think, and
speak, and vote, with equal free
dom, and equal effect, the mission
Of the Republican party is not end
ed, nor have the results OF the war
been accepted " fully, and in good
faith" Upon this proposition, MIR.
Sherman staked mis- seat in the ESo-
nate, and the fortunes Of the he
publicans of Ohio. The result has
proved, not only the far-sighted sa-
gacity of the statesman who opened
the campaign, but q far more i'm
nortant fact, te-wit that the intel
ligent and educated American citi
zen may always be relied upon,
whenever a fair and freo discussion
OF issues is possible, to array him
self upon the side Of honor and
Justice, and upon the right side oi
great, moral questions.

sUsPEEsIoN OF CHIEF JUSTICE
VTECENT.


For many years, in fact for forty
wears, il has been customary for
the Executive TO arbitrarily remove
Judges in the Territories, as If they
were appointed for -four years
unless sooner removed" " The ef-
feet has been to destroy any sem
blance of that independence in the
judiciary which is the best securi-
ty Of free people against the. en-
crcachmcnts Of arbitrary power
That such removals have been
made for the express purpose Of di-
verting justice from its aim, or for
the protection Of fraud and crime,
cannot, perhaps, be proven, but
the belief that such are the facts
has been in some Territories SO z. n
craI, and apparently so well found
ed, as to deprive the courts Of all
proper respect or confidence.
Had this been done in accord
auce with law, the case would be
bad enough, bat the remedy would
be comparatively easy. Congress
might easily change the law. 1t
is much worse when it appears that
it las been done, not only without
warrant Of law, but against law
The statute provides that Tcrrito-
rial Judges shall be appointed for
IL term Of &" four years" The usu-
al clause which gives the EXccn-
tive the power Of removal was pur
posely omitted. Territorial Judges
are, by law, secure tor the term for
which appointed, unless removed
by impeachment. The Supreme
Court 4would undoubtedly 50 de
eide could one Of these cases be
gotten before it. In fact, however,
our Judges have usually been poor
men, unequal to Il contest with Il
/ powerful government, in court SO
uvcrcrowdcd with business, that a
plunge within its depths means Il
disappearance for from seven to
ten Years.
