Judicial Nominations. ~ Pot Judges of the Supreme Court.’ LORENZO SAWYER, 0. C. PRATT. __‘?. B. MePARLAND. A Resnyyjscence.—In our brief, biographical sketch of Gen. Rawlins, says Grant was first gttracted toward him by @ speech which he made at Galena, the fall of Sumter. On the 16th of at Galena. On his way to the meeting im the evening, a Democratic friend said to Rawlins: “It is an Abolition figit ; do mot mix in, if you do, it will injare our party.” I don’t . anything about. party,” he replied. “All I know is that traitors have fired on the flag!” Arrived at the meeting, after a and madethe speech of the evening, throng up to the little open space on ’ the platform, where his pale face, coalstill thohwughly angry at the advice of his polities) friends. He spoke in a a hall ten times as large. For three quarters of am hour, amid profoundest silence, he reviewed the paat ; the real or fancied wrongs of the slaveholders ; the good faith in which the Northern under the Constitution; the blood and toil expended in the founding and de~ fending of the Republic ; the cheerfulness with which minorities, hitherto outvoted, had submitted to the will of the majority—as on the Missouri compromise, the Mexican War ‘and the Kansas-Nebraska Bill. That was the American way—to trust the future, the good sense, justice and sober, sec~ ond thought of the people. . Warm~ ing with his subject, he made a most cogent and stirring argument. Finally , his voice filling every corner of the old Court House, and ringing out like a trumpet over narrow, winding streets and sharp hills, he rose to his climax : I have been a Democrat all my lite; but this is no longer a question of poli-~ ties. It is simply country or no coun‘try. Ihave en a com ise, e r wee pect Unly sas cusen ook us. We will stand by the flag of our country, and appeal to the God of Battles. QUITE a scene occurred —at the meet— ing of the American Scientific Associa~ tion in Salem, a few days ago. J.S. Grimes undertook to read a paper con‘taining the following remarkable the~ ory: “The ocean once covered the globe ; the continents; with their pres~ -ent outlines, rose from the bottom o¢ the sea more than three miles, and came within a few hundred feet of the surface of the sea, within reach of the waves, before: any of the present mountains were created. The waves, beating upon the rising borders, abraded them, and the sediment, being deposi~ ted on a continent near the border, pro» duced depressions, and these, by reac~ tion, produced elevations.” Before Mr. Grimes had begun to get through with his reading, he was interrupted by the chairman, Profésser Agassiz, who said the meeting was pressed for time, and that Mr. Grimes didn’t “understand the elementary principaisof geology.” Mr. Grimes pathetically remarked that Prox fessor Agsssiz wanted “to bring back the days of the Inquisition.” Professor Agassiz. said that it was his busi-~ ness to see that “the time was not needlessly frittered away.” Mr.Grimes asked, sarcastically “if the glacial the~ of the last thirty years.” Professor Agassiz good~naturedly responded that “he did not care whether it had or not.” Professor Hall then knocked Mr Grimes’ theory into smithereens, and the meet~ ing proceeded to more important mat~ ters.A Grass Vater “Brink” tx THE East.—The Grass Valley Union says: Our friend S. D. Bosworth, received a letter from Springfield, Mass., which stdtes that a man calling himself Dr. Leland Stannard has called on Mr. Bos— worth’s relatives, and had made him< self very agreeable, ending his pleasant fintercourse by borrowing $100 for a couple of days. This bilk knew all about Mr: Bosworth’s family here, the names and sizes of all his children, and he even went so far as to tell of another youngster, of eleven pounds weight, which had very récently come into the world under his professional supervision. Dr. Stannard was not enly family physician, but also a mining partner of Mr. Bosworth’s, and had just shipped $40,000 worth of ma— chinery from New York to White Pine, where the firm had immense interests. The Doctor very considerately, sent his photograph to Bosworth. He isa good looking bilk, and is recognized as a fellow. who tried to play the Confederate Surgeon on parties here a few years ago, not. Dr. Morgan, however. A better posted and more elegant look. ing scoundrel, judging from his photograph and his actions, never graduated from the school of California rascality. , The effect was electric. The audience sprang to their feet and gave cheer after cheer for the old flag, for Maj. An~ derson, and for the maintenance of the Union at whatever cost. Capt. Grant was.present. Though he had known Rawlins as the attorney for the leather house, he had no intimate acquaintance with him, but this speech so thoroughly expressed his own views and feelings, that his heart went out to the young orator. On his way home Capt. Grant determined to go into the service. After vexatious delays, he found himself a Brigadier Genera] in command at Cairo, where he was joined on the 14th of September by Rawlins, who reported for staff duty as Assistant Adjutant _ General, with the rank of _ Captain From that time to the. final surrender of all the armies of the rel elon, he was at Grant's right hand, aiding him . with a clear, prompt judgment, unselfish fidelity and hearty patriotism. Tue N.Y. Herald, of August (26th, says that every argument that can be made in favor of the postal service being in the hands of government applies to the telegraph. “And who will say, except a few crazy theorists, that the postal system should be under private corporations or individuals? All govs ernments take charge of letter communications between their own people and with foreign countries, Why not. of telegraphic communication? This latter mode of communication has become as important and almost as universal as the former, and with the improvements that must.shortly be made, it will su~ percede to a great extent the business AvusrRia and Hungary are, by the #ecent policy of the Emperor, becoming. * more closely united, and it is reposted that the Austrian men-of-war have re~ ceatly hoisted the Austro-Hungarian flag, which differs from the old flag by the lower horizontal bar being now half green and halt yellow. The Hungarian national suield is placed beside that of Austria. THE pig iron prodact of Great Britain in 1868 was 4,800,000 tons, that of the Usited States 1,603,000 tons. Wo ory had been adopted by the geologists . speech stated that “up to the time that was appointed, they (the Supreme Judges) were all Radical, and they did all theit business in thorough Radical style. In all cases that came before them in which the title to any office was involved; it was invariably decided against the Democrat; in every case without exception.” Whereupon F. M. P. “goes after” the ‘redoubtable General through the columans of the Bulletin and shows up the atter falsity. of his stateryent. He quotes eight cases in'the 29th volume of California Reports, giving the names ‘thereof, in which the reverse of the General's statement is true, all of which decisions were rendered by our Supreme Court when composed of Republicans, I charge, therefore, that you have wilfully misrepresented the Supreme Court of this State, and thereby exhib‘ited your upfitness to become a member of it, or else you have demonstrated ar. ignorance of decisions that equally disqualifies you from being placed in a position where you will be called upon 'to make them. Easterns Irems.—We clip the following from the Union of yesterday : The Coroner's jury which pronounced upon the causes of the late deaths in the Avondale (Pa.) mine, recommended additional security. for the lives of miners, by having two shafts for ingress, and two for escape, instead of one, as is now the rule in most of the mines. General Jordan, of the Cuban army, appeals to the people of the United States for medicines for his soldiers and. for sick families of the patriot army. He says they haveall the men, arms and amunition they need. Senator Frelinghuysen declines the Chinese mission, which is now offered to Ex-Senator Morgan, of New York, who accepts on condition that it be made a first class mission. The Democrats of Philadelphia are so greatly demoralized that they ean’t get a ticket that will stick. At the Humboldt centennial in Berlin, Prussia, a railway bridge, overcrowded with people, gave way, precipitating all into the river Spree. Twenty-four are known to have been drowned. PrcToRTaL.—The Grass Valley Union of yesterday appears as a pictorial, illustrating the trip of the Sqpervisors and their joint meeting to settle the boandary between Nevada and Sierra counties. The instruments used by each party are faithfully pictured by -the special artist. Stitt ConTINUE.—Notwithstanding the rumor that Wells, Fargo & Co. and the Pacific Union Express had been notified that the Central Pacific would carry no more express matter after the 15th, both express companies continue to bring freight every day. PaTENT GRANTED.—A Washington special says the claim of the Eureka Gold.Mining Company to 1,664 feet of land, running along the Eureka lode, and including 24 acres of surface ground, situated in Grass Valley, California, has finally been allowed. A patent will be forwarded from the Land Office in a few days. 3 A Ficut.—A dispatch to the Union, dated Virginia. City, Sept. 15th, says: A battle was fought this morning near Gold Hill, between Johnny Skeeven and Johnny Dovy, both Cornish miners. They had a quarrel last evening and agreed to fight it out this morning in accordance with the rules of the ring, After four rounds the seconds pronounced it adraw battle. Both men received considerable punishment. Suxx.—The silk manufactures of France are valued at $140,000,000 an~ nually,and half a million persons are engaged in the business.
