by President Cleveland on the bench Of the

His resignation will take effect about Oct I.
He made the announcement last week in the
retiring room of the Circuit Court to a number
of his friends of the bar, much to their snr-
prise When asked for his reasons the Justice
said that he had come to the conclusion that to
return to his home in Michigan and resume the
practice of the law was the best for him. 1.-THE
fact is" he said, notwithstanding that all of
my associations here have been of the most
pleasant and agreeable character, have never
become fully reconciled to giving up my old
home and my practice there, and, while yet
young and vigorous, have concluded that it
is best for me to return to them" Another
reason that he gave was that the docket of the
Court was greatly crowded and Congress did
not seem inclined to give relief. In this con-
dition of things there was very little satisfac-
tion serving on the bench.
