Halsted * Harrison Sts., CHICAGO. From the Harvard Independent, March, (9th THE JUDICIAL RXJCCTION. The judicial election In this State take place in June, and in moat circuits the questieii of candidates is already being considered. Fortunately, so far as this county is most directly con­ cerned, there is no ground for contro­ versy--it is a simple matter of the re­ election of Judge Murphy. The peo. pie of Mcllenry county feel a pardon­ able pride in having contributed tb the judiciary of Illinois, one of its most able, conscientious, and satisfactory member*, while the people of the en­ tire circuit hare reason to congratulate themselves on the manner in wh!ch Judge Murphy has justified their se­ lection. He has lived among us since he was a boy; he began the practice of his profession here, and twenty-one years ago, when he was a little more than a b^y in years, he was elected to a position on the bench. The fact that he lias been kept upon the bench ever since, is one of the strongest arguments in favor of mi elective judiciary In an intelligent community. Every detail of his life, from his boyhood tq the present, has beeu known to the people, and in all these years there has never been the shadow of a doubt as to his ability, his integrity, or his Indepen­ dence. Judge Murphy possesses In a rare degree those peculiar qualities necessa­ ry to success its a judicial officer. HE has a mind at once broad, fair and analytical.without eccentricity; tils ill- formation is extensive and varied, and while his knowledge of the law Is com­ prehensive, his breadth of thought saves him from the mere technical method of judicial service, which Is at the foundation of injustice In the courts He Is one of the hardest workers on the' bench *f 4ttls or any other State. His decisions have won for him the respect of the ablest men In the profession and the confidence of the people. Two years ago lie was assigued by the Su­ preme Court to service as a member of the Appellate Court of the First Dis­ trict, and by his associates was elected Chief Justice. In this court he has beeu one of the three Representatives of a territory embracing nearly a million people, aud including many of the ablest members of the Illinoi --a territory possessing a vast slti the property of the State. In t two years he has heen called upon to decide in cases involving Immense in­ terests. when the pressure of busiucss upon tlie courts has represented almost au inhuman amount of mental labor, yer. in no single I no tan cm have his findings borne a trace of prejudice, or inaccuracy as to l»gal points, of a lack jf Independence or capability of reas­ oning, or a strict se»8e of justice, or a fine sense of judicial . honor. The Chicago Bar is a unit in its high respect for his qualities; his motives have never been questioned, and the hum­ blest as well as wealthiest citizens has felt assorredot impartial Justice be­ fore Judge Murphy. To these high qualities Is added an experlenoe of twenty-one years on tit? bench. Judge Murphy Is now in the prime of life and the height of mental vigor, eapabie of many years of good work. His re-election will simply indi­ cate that an intelligent people recog­ nizes the wisdom of using the abilities of a well tried and faithful judicial officer. All have a oommon Interest in a pure and high-minded judiciary, ^nd the combined discretion of the people will express itself in keeping on the bench as able and experienced * judge as Theodore D.

D. Murphy: •'With'reference to other candidates we have this to say of Judge Murphy. We are for that gentleman. We have a high opinion of his legal qualifica­ tion, and of his peculiar fitness for the pencil. He has naturally the best qualities for the position, and his ex­ perience makes him a ready and effi­ cient Judge. This Will not be denied by any fair, candid minded lawyer in the district. He Is already won an en­ viable place for a man of his years. As chief justice «#the Appellate Court of the district he commands and deserves the respect of his associate Judges. There are tew if any more deserving of the place than himselft On points ot law presented to him for deeisiou in the court room he is quick to perceive and ready to decide, and we believe It to be true as has been said of him, that he can while sitting in his ehair or standing upon his feet in the,midst of the hearing of a cause, give an opinion on a point of law oil hand as fully and completely as after mora lengthy or mature reflection. If a full set of Be publican Judges are to be chosen, as will undoubtedly be the case. It would suit us first rate If Judge Murphy and Upton and Mr. Kellum were the chosen ones. GKW. HOKLBUT ON THIS JUDICUt SIT­ UATION. The Elgin Leader Interviewed Gen. 8. A, Hurlbnt ou the judicial situation and we extract the following In regard to It. The Lead*sr says: "Great mind* differ sometimes, we discover. For Example: We met one uf the most prominent politicians in this Congressional District the other dayfti Chicago, proceeded forthwith to interview him on Die judicial situa­ tion, We may add that the gentle inan is a resident of one of the North­ ern counties of this judicial district.-- He figures the case out thus: He con­ cedes Wilson's nomination In the Be« publican convention, or, rather* says It Is a certainty, and that his election is equally certain. He says Judge Wilson's old circuit used to Include Kendall, Du Fage, Kane, Mcllenry, Boone and De Kalb counties: and that he Is immensely popular in the old cir­ cuit. He says his election is conceded everywhere. After Wilson, he says Murphy's chances are best. He says Murphy will be fitst choice in McHenry and Boone, and second choice in Luke and De Kalb and probably in Kane, He says Mur­ phy Is sure of a nomination aad also nf election. O * O • 0 • o To give our friends an Inkling of who the prominent politician Is that we interviewed, we might say that he lives in Belvidere, and that his initials are Gen. Stephen A. Hurlbut. And whatever else may be said of the gen­ tlemen, this will be not be said: that he la not thoroughly acquainted with the politics of this judicial circuit, and and that his judgment Is not to be desplaed. -- 1 L-if^ V • « $ I NEW YORK, April nth, 1879. . Lewis A Co. give the follow­ ing In regard to the Now York butter and cheese markets: BCTTKR--Receipts for the week were 20,493 packages;exports, two weeks, 9,852 packages. The v«yrv cold, back­ ward spring and low price for the pro­ duct has lessened receipts and the mar­ ket Is well cleared up botli for old and new stock. Sales of fancy western creamery were at 32<jj$23c; of New York State creamery at 18@20c;aud finest selected farmers tubs aud pails at 18@20c; aud sales of most New York State new butter in lots at 16@l8c.-- Closes with a good strong market aud all receipts of prime frenh stock quick* ly taken, New dalry butter, <JiOor,€@ 18. * CHEESK--Receipts for the week were 6,658 boxes; exports, two weeks, 34,405 boxes. The market is no better nor yet any worse; the cold backward sea­ son is a benefit and the very low prices current may start a large consumptive demand for the ne^ crop. The mar­ kets are now well cleared of both old and new butter, and are bar* and open for all the butter that can be made, and dalrymeu are likely to feed this demand for butter as long as they are foddering--thus doing away with a lafge amount of fodder cheese and re­ lieving the cheese market now over supplied with old slock. We quote: Fine late markets at 6@8c; sound solid full cream earlies at3(^6c; half skims at 2(£4c; sltlw* unmerchantable at ,10*0. f Bostoy, April Wbuvtn. Choice new butter continues scarce most of the receipts running poor, and the market is dull for all kinds except strictly chloce; we quote at 90@22c; for new creameries; 16@18c; for choice new dairy; and I0@15c. ^ lb for fair and good; old butter is dull and prices are nominally 6<$15c ^ lb, Cheese re­ mains the same, with rathermore de­ mand for good; tbe sales have beenQat 5@7Jc; for fair and prime quality.-- Eggs are lower and sale s are at ll@13 per docen.

They are the pair who have been widely shown as a two-headed girl. The Prof, con­ siders them far more wonderful than the Siamese twins, who were two dis­ tinct persons, while these negro sisters have a single backbone below the shoulder blades, at which point the spinal column branches like the arms of a letter Y. They were back to back at birth, but in |learning to walk they twisted {themselves to facilitate loco­ motion, and now gstand nearly side by side. Experiments showed that {when either was touched below the point of uniou both felt Hit, bat above 4 that point there was separate sensitiveness.

Those bodies of water known mthe Fox Lak^ group, have a high reputa­ tion for duck hunting, but not higher than they deserve* Having just re­ turned from a two days flying visit there, we are prepared to say that large as are the stories current of the abun­ dance of that game there, half has not been told. We had hardly started on our eight mjle row, up the River.from McHenry. in the little skiff of the Rod 4 Gun Club, which we found housed on the bank, by the Riverside Hotel, when large flocks appeared In sight and they become uiore and more numerous, till we reached Eagle Point. At Eagle point, a party of Chicago sportsmen had built a bough house, and set out a flock of decoy ducks. Near hero is theentrane from Pistaqua Lake and It la a famons spot for capturing them. The flocks seem to be passing every few minutes, and an almost con­ stant fusillade was kept up. Arriving at tiie Lake, we satw thousauds. All around large flocks of all varieties. In­ cluding multitudes of mud hens, who were disportihg themselves In the water, or rising with a roar like a whirl-wind, to fly a tulle or two, and then light again. They are very shy, however of boats and sportsmeu, and fly high and swift. Without decoys it is difficult to Mich them. When flying with the wind they am said to attain a speed of $0 miles an hour. Yon must fire six or eight feet befojto them, or you miss your shot. They seem to be as happy as a picnic party, as they frolic in the frigid water. Above Fistaqua Lake there wlui at tu> time less than 600 iu sight. Mr. Frank Sayles, who keeps travel­ ing sportsmen in his large aud pleasant house, says, that as abundant us they are now, they were more abundant three weeks ago, when a considerable portion of the Lake was frozen over.-- The passage between this point and Grass Island, was open and It was hard tngefra glimpse of the Water, for the multitude of ducks which covered ti. But It is not so easy to shoot them now. Six boat loads of people from the neighborhood, were over Grass Lake last Tuesday, and got none at all,' but Harry Dunnellwlth hw depoys, and his bough house, got 21 in V,u Hour, at Nipperslnk Point,'and next datafot 37 iu a short time. Mr. Jardes Powell, of our party was with the veteran \iuck hunter, Curtiss, aud bagged fl»m twenty to thirty every day, and all at ouce spot, The Sycamore Club Home, Is the prettiest building ou the lakes, and the most conspicuous. You can see Its cttpalo and flag stall almost auy where on the lakes. The view from Its piazzas Is magnificent, but as the price paid for this magnificent elevation. Its members are compelled to climb 109 stairs up the steep bluff; The Rod & Gun Club must put lu a steam eleva­ tor. : l ^ A new steamer Is tn pragmas of con­ struction; by Captain HIU, It is to start up the Lakes every day, begin­ ning May 16th, and will carfy 76 to 100 passeagers. This will supply the much needed waut of regular communication with the Sycamore Club House. We can leave Sycamore In the morning, and reach the Club House by noon. To members of the Club round trip tickets are sold for $2.90. A man with a boat will charge about $2.00 a day for row­ ing you about, and finding you the choice locations. The season for dueks ends May 1st by law. gSfWrn. H. Vauderbilt has paid the snm of $57,000 to the daughters of Horace Greely. This was the amount borrowed from Mr. Greely many years ago by Cornelius H. Yanderbiit. The Commodore refused to recognise the cialm and once had a characteristic In­ terview with Mr. Greely about the matter, in which the railroad million­ aire was badly worsted. He made no provision for the debt in his will, and the daughters could not have collected the slalm. even had they been disposed to do so This action on the part Wm. H. Vanderbllt is consid­ ered a part of the general settlement of the financial affairs of the family as a result of the close of the various suits and the will content. Iu any case, it is just to the daughters journalist. * ' 1 =g&. ' to S' S&»A New Yorker offers against any man for 050 and the rats money.

WASIUHOTOK, D. a April 4l«t» *79. •• A good deal of talk has been Indntgod relative to several bills introduced this session by Southern members asking for aid to certain enterprises Intended to promote commercial interests. The more Important of these are the Broall Mall Steamship subsidy bill, introduced by Senator Kellogg, and the two Ball- road aid bills introduced by Senator Jonas and Representative Chalmers,-- Th« first of these is the s«ttrie bill that passed the Senate last winter as an atv tachment of the Post 0£Bc« bill, bat failed In the Honse. It Is now an indfc* pendent measure. Tbe Mouse wu frightened from its support by the orjr of subsidy, aud that John Roach WM after the job, Mr. Roach, indignant nt the treatment he rveetvefl then, will have nothing to do with tirging the measure this time, and it must stand,or fall on Its merits. Ill Is not a stttheni measure, since ft calls for a conlmsct to establish steamship communication be­ tween New York.as well as, HewOr» lean.*and Brasii. The friends of t)M> measure are sanguine of lis passage.-- The railroad bills are strikingly boldtB their propositions* both substantially contemplating the same objects. They provide for paying the several Pacific bound railroad companies concentrating at New Orleans aud Galveston 910.00ft per mile for the construction of the roads to El Paso, at that point conneo* flng with the Southern Pacific road^ f It also takes in the Texas Pacific road, allowing it to go on as far as the new Mexican border. An odd feature of ths scheme is that It tacks oS to this big arrangenMsnt the bill of the Northern Pacific Railroad, asking only for an eau tension of time to Con struct Its road.--- The association Is not invited by tl* Northern Pacific Company but it ts» made in the hope of gettii^Its strength to build up the other combination*-- The fact is, the Northern Pacific COB* pany ask nothing except more time to carry ont their contract with the Gov­ ernment. They want neither noMjr nor lands of this Congress. The last Senate passed their blll« bBt It WM stopped in the House meroUrWeause It did not come tip in regular ordtr. Ths company are btiildlngtMllr twtfri m fast, as the work can be done, and their con­ dition Is improving. They neither ask for money nor pay money for lobby work, since what they want, is merely a chance to goon with their own re­ sources towards the Pacific. , In addition to these measures tlM ouly interesting measures Introduced are those of the Greenbackers Involv­ ing agitation of the financial question Theycontemplate a gradual retirement of the National Bank circulation and* substitution of greenbacks; inflation of the currency; free coiuage of silver equal with gold;large appropratloos for aiding the laboring people In tbu form of Internal improvements, &c.-- Many of these measures have a chance of success In theHouse, but will not past the Senate, where the democratic ma­ jority Is more conservative and opposod to disturbing currency queatiOM before ^ the fall elections. NeverthslUls long*" dlssusslons will come upon torn* of i them and I do not see • how Congress £ can get awav for two months. The political debates in the House are gettiug tedious. Occasionally there Is a personal encounter which en­ livens the dreary waste, bnt the great body of people wish the contest WM over, that Congress might attend to le* gltiinate work or go home. The Republicans are the first in tbe political field for the campaign. At their canvass the other day they ap- , pointed their Congressional campaign committee who will go to work right away, serving up tlieir debates to suit their constituents. That they propose a vigorous canvass is proved by tho general talk in favor of Hon. Wm. S» Chandler for secretary of the oommtt* tee. He is so well known m a stalwart that his selection Would sound the slg* nal for most vigorous eflort Jby the party he directs. ^ Prof. Gamgee, besides being the au­ thor of the refrigerating ship project from whiqb is expected so much iu the fight against Yellow Fever, has stepped ou a big job put up by the Commission er of Agriculture to investigate the cattle disease. Prof. Gamgee ssid it could be done cheaper and, better by the national health board. -- • ' " M. M.
