On The report of the finance committee The installing of grand offeers was cause of the fact that the justices’ courts are resorted to by many col+ ored peoplein the District, where they form a considerable portion of the populati n. Several of the eight remaining justices are reappointments of those now holding similar positions. Ac- cordingly, it is plain that there are but few new names on the list. Prominent among the colored applicants were o N Hewlett, Fountain Pey- ton, and Reuben S. Smith. There is no question that an effort was made to secure only the most efficient men among theapplicants. Those justices who have received a reappointmen? were very generally indorsed, and outside of their number the counsel of some prominent lawyers in Washing- ton was asked as to applicants that were most deserving of recognition, It was understoed that Attorney Gen- eral Knox, who went over the papers with much care, selected the list ot ten men, which was approved by the President without any change. Some candidates have been pressing their claims this week at the White House and at the Depariment of Justice, although the matter was closed last Friday. All are informed that the] nominations have bees de- cided upon, and that no further con- sideration will be given any applica- tions. A FAMOUS SONG WRITING TRIO. Messrs. Bob Cole, J.
