Tile New Justice ol the Supreme
Cullt'l.
President Hayae-*t>ertainly oau-
nut bo charged with ingratitude to
his friends; for, he taw, ns well as
we djw remember given each one
ot them a comtortsble nud lucra
tive position in the General Gov
ernment. Home of the work re
quited of some of these friends was
of the dirtiest nature; which how
ever was done without nuy hesita
tion, and we may add was re
warded without hesitation.
One ol the last rewards confer
red by the President for services
rendered, is the appointment of
Stanley Mathews to the Supreme
Court bench. The time has been
when that court was composed ot
men of the highest legal attain
ments and upon whose ebaractera
there was neither spot nor blemish,
and whose integrity has never—
even by their bitterest enemies—
been called in question. Think of
that court when it was adorned by
HERALD ,Chatt«boochee circuit may felici
tate itself upon hn-ing another
good judge to preside over its
courts . The court room yesterday
presented quit** au animated ap
pearances. It was the day for sen
tencing offenders,and it gave Judge
Willis an opportuni'y to show the
metal of which he is made, and
right well did ita temper stand tin
test. He bad before him offenders
of every degree. The burdened
wretch who prowled at night to
rob honest people, and the
thoughtless youth, who did bail
without motive, with all the in
termediate degrees of crime and
folly. He had a select audience ul
some twenty offenders, among
whom he distributed his sentences
with a discriminating eye; heavy
enough in the lightest eases, it is
hoped, to correct the habits of the
erring, and light enough in the
heaviest cases, to keep the offend
ers out of temptation for years to
come. Judge Willis has shown a
purpose to deal justice to all in his
circuit, ooinraencoing at Colunjbu«;
to the good people of communities
who pay for protection of life and
pioperty, and to those who would
endanger the one, and depredate
-ipou the other. Evil doors will
dad ho grace la hi#sight,' and all
may take warning from Ilia work
yeatenluy, and govern themselves
'accordingly.—Columbus Times.
GOOD F0I1 UEHCEO.
.. , ... , ,, I Wearepleesed to lenrn that
the learning and purity of Marshall,! Rev S y|vanu» Landrum, D. L> ,
wa m “* 1 4 ‘ ha# consi-uttd to net us the finan-
cial and traveling agent of Mercer
University,with the view of increas
ing its endowment fund. Dr Lan
drum is oue of the ablesi and most
popular diviuea in the Baptist
Church. His genial manners and
unaffected p-ely make friends for
him anywhere. Under the mov
ing appeals of this e oquent gen
tleman,we doubt nut the 150,UOO
Baptist in Geogia will respond
handsomely in liehalf of their no
ble and time-honored institution,
hich is the peer of any nt the
■Story, Tanev, and in tact all who
ever sat upon the bench pnur to
1861, and then contrast it with trie
court as at present constituted, and
wu will have uo cause at least to
boast.
Thu last appointee—Stanley
Mathews—is believed by many to
lie but the too! of Jay Gould, and
that his vote and iuduence wi 1 on
every occasion be given in fuvur of
his matter and the rail roads gen
erally. An appointment of this
character would only be in keep
ing with otaer appointment* in that
high court. It is an admitted fact
that it was, several years since so
arranged and constituted as to se
cure a tuling in favor of the cou- j ability of her honored president
stltutioniilty of the “legal tender' 1 and focul^.-ZVrj/ropA and lies-
act.
But a still greater blow was
struck that court when five of its
j .dges were appointed on the
ulepioral Commission adn three of
them were found willing to smirch
their judicial ermine in the dirt
and mire, and render themselves
iorever infamous by throwing their
mantle over the greatest fraud and
infamy perpetrated in modern times
We mean of course the villainy by
which Hayes was given the place
to which Samuel J. Tilden was
constitutionally unci fairly elected
by the people of the United States.
We arc s irry that any member of
o* the ,‘Supreme Court was ever
placed on the Electoral Commi--
sit-ti, and we equally regret that the
President should appoint as one o'
its members, any man, no matter
how high his legal and intellectual
attainments, against whom the
charge is openly and emphatically
made by a leading New York Dai
ly, that he is the tool aod servant
of a powerful railroad corporation
Appointments of this character are
calculated to briug the Court into
diBrepute and by consequence, our
institutions.
Alter the fourth of March next
we will have a new administration,
and we are satisfied that Gen.
Garfield if he will follow his own
impulses will give us a fair sail
honest administration of the gov
ernment. We fear however thai
he will allow himself influenced
more or less by the professional pol
iticians of his party. At all events
we trnit Gen. Garfield will not <fl
low h>f) judicial appointments to be
controlled by any supposed party
necessities, aod that he will return
to tho practice of the early days ot
the Republic; and that hiaap|>oiiit
menu in this department will be
limited to the beat and purest men
of our country.

Mr. Henry Bergh, president of

a bill introduced in the New York
egislatu e to establish the whip

No man has occupied the bench
