In its issue of Tuesday last, the Augusta Constitutionalist copies approvingly un able rotnuiuuicalion from the Atlanta Constitution, commending the re appoint ment of Mr. Justice Montgomery us an associate Justice of the BuprcmoCourt, by his Excellency, Gov. Smith. The writer indulges in some eminently sound rettec tions, w hich if space permitted wo would gladly copy, uud closes by presenting n series of strong reusons for the re-appoint ment of Judge Montgomery, among which is ability of the highest order; which may be said to fully include uli. The fact that lie is a commercial lawyer in especially presented tiy the wiiter— an advantage possessed by him over all others whose names have beon sug gestd to the Governor for the position. We fully coincide with the writer that "it is essential that on the Supreme benc h there should he, at least, one Judge who has made commercial law a specialty, who D familiar with accounts, books, mercan tile transactions of every sort, and who can relievo his ass icialcs from tho pci plesity lawyers generally experience In cases involving such mutters, and trust the Hlatc will not lose the advantage of re tuiuitig hint in the position lie now tills so adequately and acceptably to the people, particularly to the liar.” ity his unassuming manners in private life, and Ids unremitting devotion to hi* official duties thus far, Judge Montgomery has HCipiired new friends and added to his heretofore well earned fame as a sound thinker ami well rend hi the law. lie is personally not seeking a re appointment, yet it Is most tilting Hint the (lovcrnor should confer it upon him. lIIUII AM* 1.0 .

N> \v Mexico, with a popula tiou of less than one hundred thousand, is also looking for admission as a State That Congress will repeat his action, nn der the circumstances, can hardly lie ex pected, for In that referred to It was strongly actuated by reasons that no lon ger exist And now that General Grunt has been elected for a second teiiu, ami is sustained by decisive majorities in both Houses of the National legislature there can arise no need ol partial legislation to couipass an unholy purpose. Indeed were Ilia territories named to In- admitted as States so far as the action ot Congress is required, we pefer to believe that the President would withhold his Constitu tional sanction. May we not begin to hope that Hie time has come when doubtful purti/.an zeal shall lie replaced by a broad, unsectional, catholic love of country, securing equal and exact justice by reasons within con stitutional limits The country is taking on better temper.

The Fourth National Bank of New York, of which Mr. Calhoun is President, has been made the sole financial agent of the Htate in that city, and SIOO,OOO bus been scut on to that bnnk to meet tire Jan uary interest accruing on our State debt. This is exclusive of her State buildings. The taxable property of the Stute is $234,402,468.

Dr. Augier made a statement of our fi nancial condition that proved very grati fying, ami which was desired to he pub lished The old indebtedness of Ibe Htate is $5,685,500. Of the Bullock currency bonds $i,500,000 arc in New York, hut ow ned to be void. Of the liulloek gold bunds three million were issued. Three hundred thousand were returned. Due and two thousand in Clews’ hands liure been declared void. This leaves $2,508,000 out, of which only two million are reported sold, the rest being hypothecated. This makes a total of $8,286,500 of actual bond indebted ness of the State. In addition there are $2,760,000 of Brunswick and Albany bouds not recog nized. The contingent railroad indebtedness of the Htato is $7,033,400, of which $3,875,- 000 lias been declared void on account of the conditions not being fulfilled. This leaves $3,87.5 ,oon of valid railroad State liability.

In the Senate, the disabilities of Mr. Lamar, of Mis* , were removed, without opposition. A number of private bills were passed. Sherman, from tlie Finance Committee, reported the House hill for tho reduction of officers and expenses of Internal Key eutft, witli amendments providing that the office of Assessor and Assistant Assessor shall cease to exist at such times, in the district* respectively, as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue may find practicable, prior to July Ist, 1873, with other provis ions. No final action on matters of gen eral interest. Tho Attorney General telegraphs to I'inrhhack. at New Orleans, that when ever it becomes necessary in the judgment of the President, the State will be pro tectod from domestic violence. Gen. l>ix has resigned the Presidency of tlie Eric Road. The Addle Fuller, from Baltimore for Savannah, is reported ashore. The storm on a visit in the South has licon general, interferring with business general ly. Among tbe confirmations in the Senate are Richard Beardsley, Consul General at Alexandria, vice Butler.

Affairs at the eapltol of Alabama are not improving The Sheriff under or dors IF nn the Governor, attempted to | take possession of the State House, when occupied by the Senate. He was arrested by the Sergeant at arms, but subsequently released. For a few moments the excite j ment was intense, aud the Federal troops | statioued near the Capitol got under ! arms, but no necessity appearing, dis j persed to tlicir quarters. A civil posse guards the State House agaiust all but Feileral arms. The Legialatuie iu the Court-room ad milled Knottier person to a seat who wa> defeated according to official returns by a large majority. The Commercial Convention met in tit Louis yesterday. Mayor Brown delivered a brief address Fifteen Stales are repre sented and more will be there to-day. Affair* in Faris are still of great ititcresL A manifesto from the extreme moderate I Uft demands a pacific and legal dissolu tion of the National Assembly at the oulv means of avoiding the dangers to the coun try, as the division in the Assembly renders tlie Government powerless. New elections will constitute a compact minority in the Assembly, securing the majority therein to the administration of President Thiers, and for the establishment of Hepuhlicau institutions The author of •■Oaida" is described as a plain, middle-aged eccentric woman, who associates entirely with gentlemen, makes pets of the most uncanny animal* and keeps very irregular hours, and. in a word, is quite such a person as her book would indicate. Tiiititiui.i:, The telegraph announces a fire at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York, Tues day night, resulting in a mournful loss of life. The brief dispatch says The lire was in the cock-loft, occupied try laundry women and domestics Hix leeu bodies have been found burnt beyond recognition. They were found near the only window of the room, which was barred; the only means of escape being the stairway, which was iu flames. The victims had to wait for death, mid it is ■ hoped many died while asleep. Twenty two bodies Imd been recovered up to two o'clock yesterday morning. The fire orig inated in the elevator leading to the laun dry. None of the 500 guests are reported injured. The loss by the fire and water will probably be over SIOO,OOO. The smoke was suffocating, and tho water drenched the floors and balls, tilled with baggage and clothes of 78 servants who escaped. It also ruined fully one-fourth of the furniture, valued at SIOO,OOO. This event xvill haye its influence un favorable to such immense establishments, requiring a discipline equal to that for an army. Some duty has been neglected in this case. The primary responsibility is with the proprietors They should he rigidly held to it. People who are always complaining of their had luck are generally those xvlio have done nothing to deserve any better. They dwaddtc away years in the hope of making a fortune "some day,” by a single lucky stroke, and find, when it is too late, that the “some day" never come* Patient, enduring industry wins more of the world's prizes than the spasmodic efforts of the most brilliant genius. \v\ot m i:is: vi *.
