tog a compromise candidate may be
I'nir, but there is nothing ot the corn-
nrnmisG nature in tbe man
nature in tue man nimseii
Everything about him betokens orig
inalily, ru.de strength and positive
convictions. His luce is almost a
typical Anglo-Saxon one. His fea
tures are not Unelv cut. nor is their
expression intellectual; but, though
coarse, tney are oarmomous, anu
there is a look of good humor, com
mon sense and careless, self-confident
manhood in tne whole countenance.
There is a narrow trill of zray whis
kers running round the Judge's tace
and under his chin, and the frosty col

.T n,l fro Davis ia careless of subtle dis-

Unctions of legal precedents, ana iooks
to broad, geueral. principles and the
equities involved in a case. He aims
to do substantial justice aiwaya
sometimes doing it even at the ex
pense of the law. He has all the le
gal knowledge that becomes a '.mem
ber of the highest court in the .'coun
try, but h is more noted for his inde
pendence than tor his legal scholar
ship; and during the war and the try
inn uprind ol reconstruction, when
our judicial system was shaker to its
foundations and the supremacy of the
m iitarv nowcr seemed imminent, ne
was ever the champion of the civil
antVinritv and the advocate of the mild
and liberal interpretation ot coercive
statutes. He did not hesitate in tne
heat ot the rebellion, to interfere to
prevent tbe suppreseion of the Chi
cago runet, and u was through his
prompt action that the case 01 aio
Millan, Bowles and Horsey, sentenced
by a military commission at Indiana
polis, was brought before the Supreme
Court for review. In hia opinion, he
maintaiued the majesty of t ie courts
a.rainht drumhead tribunals, and
saved the lives of the doomed men.
To his influence, doubtless, the con
ervative attitude of the Supreme
Court sinc t'uen has been in a great

an imitation of tho English one, hav-

Andrew on a blue ground. That was
the flag at tho time tho Declaration
of Independence was signed and for
about n year longer. )Ou tho Mth of
vuuo, in, congress passed a bill
which became a law, September lTlh,
making the stars and stripes , our na
tional flag with 13. stars and 13
stripes, that flag was first unfolded
at the surronder of Burgoyno on the
17th of October of that year. It, con
tinued to be the flag, unchanged, Until
in 1794, when Vermont and Kentucky
were ndmjued us States, and then
Congress added two stripes and two
stars. It ,was under a flag of 17
stripes that we fought the war of
1812. But it became evident before
long tnt to add a stripe every time
wo took in a State would by-and by,
require a change in the nature ot flag
stalls in, order to accommodate the
vast qxpauso of canvass, and so in
1818,.Coijgrc8s passed another law
reducing tho number to 13 stripes
and tixiiiz it there, with the stars iu a
circlo on a blue zround, one for each
