The Hornhlower Nominations.

WASHINGTON. Jan. At is stated in administration circles that the presi- dent will withdraw the nomination of Mir. Hornblower of New York for an associate justiceship of the supreme court. There are several stories af1oat about the matter, but it is believed the president has concluded that Horn blower cannot be confirmed.
 It is rumored that he will substitute OlneY, the present attorney general, for the vacant judgship; put Bissell, the present postmaster general, in Olney's place, and put Josiah Quincy, late assistant secretary of state, in Bis sells place as postmaster general.
 Another version of the story is that James c. Carter or Frederick R. Cou- dert of New York will be substituted for Hornblower and no attempt made to rearrange the cabinet.
 The president has been keeping very close-mouthed regarding his intentions. His friends think that he would make blunder if he withdrew Horn blower at this time. It seems to be taken for granted that several Republicans in the senate are ready to vote for his con- firmation and not more than three or four Democrats will go against the president in the matter.

IA D. 6RACIA In St. Louis Republic
 In your issue of the f4thinst. there appears a communication from a person in Illinois, who subsclfbes himself .J. F. snyder, M D., in which the writer airs q good deal Of transformation on the subject of the correct pronunciation of the name of this State.
 The Doctor. Announces. ex ca thedra, that We should Anglicize the pronunciation so as to rhyme with Kansas. and that our failure tod so must be "chaiitably'' (sicl attributed ito sectional prejudice rather than literary stupidity
 But is this true? II is proper or necessary to change the true pronun- citation of the original Indian name to conform to the English pronunci- ation of it as spelled ill French?
 To go back little: The word Arkansas is ofpurely Indian origin, and was pronounced by them and the pioneer settlers in the State very nearly-not eXactly-Arkansaw The old French settlers spelling it in that language so as to indicate the pro- nunciation as nearly as possible used the letters, A-r-k-a-n-s-a-s In words of this class in which the final '.s'' is silent and "a has the broad or Ital- ian sound. This sound, by the way, the Doctor" to the contrary not withstanding, comes quiteas near to the English pronunciation of ''aw" as to that of '.ah.,
 There is no law or rule for pro- nouncing proper names in English or any other language. The man who spells his name Taliaferro" calls it "Toliver, " and so do his neighbors without question as to it's correct ness. Across the water our Britian cousins speak of "CholmoDdelay" as @Ghumleyn and hundreds of other English names are unrecognizable when spoken to those who have seen them only in print. In our own country, yes, even mp in Gods coun- try, where the people are free from sectional prejudice or literary stu pidityn as in Iowa, for instance. the people obstinately refuse to spoil the euphony of many beautiful Indian names by Anglicizing them, thewortl Sioux being tt notable example.
 In California many old Spanish names, with all their liquid softness. are retained, and We hear san Hosay" for san Jose san Wakeena for Joaquin. :. .'Heelae for Giia,' any many others.

 Even up tt Pittsburg, where they have as l am told a daily newspaper. the fool people would laugh at the stranger who would pronounce Monongehalea as its written-that is if they knew what he was talking about.
 Down this way we say .sArkan- [ saw because that is as near as the average English tongue can come to the pronunciation The ignorant may laugh, political Pecksniffs may sheer and doctors may rail all they choose, Arkansas will never rhyme with Kansas, |

Tariff 10 the Front.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Alt is generally agreed among Democratic senators that the financial question will be al- lowed to remain untouched in congress until the tariff bill shall be disposed of. Senator Voorhees, replied to & question concerning his silver bill that no effort whatever would be made to press 1t un- til the tariff should be out of the way. Then, he said, the bill would receive attention, and he thought it would prove the solution of the problem.
 There is more or less talk of Secre- tary Carlisle's suggestion favorable to the issuance of bonds to provide for the government deficit, but that with other financial questions will probably go over until after the tariff question shall be settled.

A VERY COSTLY JUDGE.

Eight years ago the circuit dockets
were crowded with cases fat as well
as lean, the clerks were serene and
happy and the lawyers were abund-
antly satisfied with themselves and
their surroundings. Brown had no
sooner donned the ermine and
showed that it was a most ludicrous
misft then he began "to feel his
oats" and to act in pursuance there
of. His pomposity was inevitable
and indispensable, and he left no
stone unturned and no effort unmade
to impress on the bar, the court of
ticers and the court auditors an
adequate of his overweening
dignity and Importance. For the
once sweetly flowing strains of an
eloquent assimilation he substitute
ed a tongue surcharged with fam
ing Indignation liable upon the least
p~rovocatior to go off at any time
half cooked. If he ever had any ac-
quaintance with Lord Chesterfield,
he did not admire the mar nor "take
up" with any of his ways. Lawyer,
officer and spectator stood before
his grandeur as amazed and para
lied as an American on his first
tourbefore the imperial magnifcence
of European royalty.
81 am the court, and, now at the
peril of your life, don't you forgit
it."
Brown found a press of business
on his hands, and he could see but
one way through the tangled mass.
The learning and kindly bearing of
his predecessors had made the court
popular. If he was qualified he was
a tyrant per Sc; or he was compelled
to play the role of one to conceal his
incapacity from the people. How
ever the case was, his insulting AFRO
gance and despotic rule drove law
yers and litigants pell nell from his
august and terrifying presence.
Court officers crouched and WINGED
under a constant hacking, and juries
and witnesses and lawyers and liti-
giants endured the grossest indigni-
ties and the mailed hand of despotic
power for the time being in nc safe
condition for hot protest OF open re-
volt.
Browns court was a nondescript
machine oflegal intolerance and out
lawry if the paradox can be allowed
in which no one had any rights and
privileges except the massive con-
glomerate Of egotism, bigotry and
bulldozery who ''held down" the
bench. His court fell into contempt,
disrepute and almost complete de-
suetude. Judge Smith was over
loaded and overtasked and over
worked with his own business and
the large number of causes that
should have been on the circuit

impinged by their verdict, openly ex-
press the conviction that the probity
of the courts is not like the virtue of
Caesars wife, above suspicion. This
class of citizens are interested in the
courts only so far as they maintain the
highest standard of honor, discrimina-
ton and learning. In connection with
a free ballot, the elevation and purif-
cation of the judiciary is the noblest
ambition that can engage the thought
and attention of the honest voter.
Therefore, it behooves the people to
exercise the utmost care and caution
in filling their judicial tribunals. Only
men OF the highest moral integrity and
the most profound accomplishments in
the law should be called into this
sacred service. Men who can not be

THE JUDICIARY,

An honest, fearless and competent
Judiciary is the only mainstay of pop
ular government. The welfare of so.
ciety depends upon the prompt and
impartial administration of justice. If
there be laxity or corruption in the en-
forcement of the law, the citizenship
of the State will beinjuriously affected.
The forces of morality will be hamper
ed and finally subverted. The process
ses of civilization and enlightenment
will be delayed and sooner or later
completely thwarted. That there is a
growing contempt for and disgust with
the courts, is a fact that can not be
concealed. Justice is so often delayed
and so often finally defeated that the
better class of people, who generally
settle their business without the aid of
judges and %juries, openly express their
distrust of the law enforcing power of
the bench.
1t is rare that a losing party leaves
the court room without thinking that
he has been unfairly treated; that the
fatal witness was allowed to perjure
himself without ever a reproof, or that
the opposing counsel perverted the law,
or that the judge did not give the cor
rect charge, or that some or all of the
jury were prejudiced against him, or
were too ignorant to comprehend the
instructions of the Court.
Ii is quite natural for mulcted and
disappointed litigants to be dissatisfied
and distrustful.

er endure the irritation of Browns
%overbearing and tyrannical methods
and went before Judge Smith, who
treated them with due civility and
consideration. Judge Smith worked
necessarily, earning two salaries,
keeping open his courts so hat all
the cases could be tried. Brown
was always in a hurry to get away
from his courts and would never
stay toaccommodate anyone In this
way he made the Office of Clerk and
Master worth as much as a Judge
ship and correspondingly reduced
the fees of his own clerks. He mis-.
treated his clerks and other officers
of his court with open insult from
the bench until all of them in all the
eight counties of the circuit were
organized against him except one
Sheriff. On the other hand these
gentlemen were treated with the ut
most respect and kindness by Gen.
Campbell and he had their good will
and support.
The transfer of business from the
Circuit to the Chancery Court made
the docket so heavy that Judge
Smith nor no other lawyer could
manage it. A new chancery division
composed of six counties of Judge
Smiths division had to be created
to relieve him. This was done after
a full and careful investigation made
of the docket and business of the
court made by q committee sent by
the Legislature to look into and in
vestigate the matter. 1t was upon
that report of this committee that
the necessity of the new chancery
division was made known and will
cost the people in eight years $780,
600. This was all owing to Browns
d~espotism, driving the lawyers from
his court where they could not stay
and maintain their self respect.
Now to summarize. Browns sal
airy 500, 1000, the salary of the add
tional chancellor, for which Brown
is responsible, 500, 600, the amount
the people have lost inhaving Brown
Judge instead of Hacker, at least
SAC, 1000, making in all the colossal
sum of $4,000 All told. Brown
has cost more than any of his prede-
cessors. If all the Judgeships in the
State had been conducted on the
same gigantic scale of extravaganza
the people would be bankrupt today.
Soft would seem that Browns claim
to have saved fabulous sums to the
people, like all the rest of his claims,
turns out a Mulhattan fabrication.
In personal and official extravaganza
