THE C A CHAIR.

II President Harrison would meet the
a~nticipations OF the people OF the South,
especially Of Tennessee and Kentucky,
which form part Of the Sixth Judicial Cir
cult, in the matter OF filling the place
made vacant by the late Justice Stanley
Matthews on tho Supreme Court bench,
he should appoint the Hon. William NJ.
Smith, OF this city, TO 1t. A lawyer OF the
highest standing, a gentleman OF the
highest probity and a citizen who long ago
reached the highest standard, Judge
Smith would in the best sense prove
an acquisition to the highest court in the
land. Here where his life has been spent,
and where he is best known, he is held in
esteem by men Of every class, creed and
political faith for answering ~uprightness
aud judicial fairness, characteristics that
we're especially conspicuous In him when
he presided as Judge OF the Chancery
Court OF Shelby County Immediately after
the close of the war. At that time, when
politics were at a white heat, and
passion and prejudice were asserting their
sway even in the highest places, Judge
Smith held the scales evenly balanced and
decided according TO the law and the facts.
The Republicans Of the State should take
pride in presenting his name to the Pres
ident and urging his appointment. They
can do this consistently, for there is not
one of them all who more houorably and
honestly lived up to his convictions as a
Union man and member Of tho Republic
can party. Judge Smith is the man fol
the place and TnE APPEAL, speaking FOL
his neighbors and friends, would be glad
TO see him elevated TO II.

A LITTLE GIRLS TERRIBLE FALL.
Ciinching Demand for Closing Down on
tho Washington Street Bridge.


Little Allie Shields, the seven year old
daughter Of Mr.. William Shields, Of No. 2l0
Washington street, fell through that old
rattle-trap bridge across the bayou on Wash
ington street, last night between D and @
o'clock.
The little miss was out walking with her
older sister, Mamie, and was slightly in her
rear. Her foot caught ON one of the almost
innumerable obstacles on the old death
trap, she fell forward. and ON through n large
hole, not stopping until she had gone a dis
lance Of twenty feet, ana 10 the waters
edge. So quickly did IL occur, and so noise
less did she clear the hole, that her sister for
n moment was nav OF the accident. IL
was observed, however, by the night watch
man at Ccoyers's mill, who hastened 10 the
scene 10 lend assistance in rescu-
ing her. Being an old man, and
met by almost perpendicular bayou
banks, he soon perceived that he could DO
butlittle. Fortunately n young man who
boarded nearby appeared, and promptly dc
sccnded TO aud rescued the girl from her
p~eTilous position. She was not unconscious,
though unable TO walk, and WIS taken TO her
home, about one block distant. An exam
ination for Injuries revealed a frightful
bruise and lump ON the forehead. cuts un-
der both eyes. aud slight abusions around
the mouth. So far as known these are all
the injuries she sustained, though Il Is pos
sible that there are internal hurts. Later In
the evening she rallied sufficiently TO walk
a little. but became sick and was put 20 bed.
The Councils resolution regarding this
bridge and the Charleston Railroad Com
pany, passed Thursday, came none too soon,
IN fact. IL has been too long delayed. IL Is a
disgmCe tO the city and railroad company,
and a vcritable death trap. Tho wonder Is
tina, fatal accidents have not occurred before.
The hole through which Allie Shields fell Is
fully two aud a half feet long and twenty
inches wide. II has been there several days.
The bridge Is also uncyonly constructed oil

To fall against them would only serve 10

thing should he pcrcmptoily forbidden,
lest loss OF life and property and disastrous
damage suits be cntailcd. There has been
enough Of foolishncss about Il.
