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.

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.
