Pen and Ink Portraits of the Justloos ?Their Personal Appearance, Habits, Eta ? Graphic and Interesting Sketches. ^ Wellington correspondence, N. Y. Herald ] i The Judges, ns a whole, possess great gravity of domeanor. They look solemn nnd responsible, learned and wiso, which has such an oppressive cftect on tho beholder. Clilcl * Jnstico Ohaso is tho central attraction 3, both from his olHoial position and tho iiiiiciuuB [truiuiiiciiL ones no nciu prior to this. With his handsome chin bearded (a winter protection only and sitting in the badly falling light ol court room, ho realizes in no sense j the idea a stranger has formed of ' liim from pictorial and newspaper accounts. But then ho could hardly ever have been a strikingly handsome man. His features are too small and regular for that. But ho has a noble figure, and from under his largo Lrow as clear and bright a pair of blue eyes look out as you could hope to find in a 6ehoolbo}\ He is quite bald, but looks hale and vigorous in his library, wnero he is soon at his best-. He is 3 social, very kind in his manners, natural and wholly unaffected. If' you aro young you think it must bo nice to have such a father. He keeps _ house with his unmarried daughter, r xt ... . i>eitic, in a plum brick house, neighbor to Secretary Creswell's, on First street. Senator anil Sirs. Kate Chaso Spraguo, for eomo time resided there, and not until ro<-ontly has Miss Chase assumed the entire charge of her fae ther's house. It need hardly be added that she acquits herself to the gratification of her friends. The Chief Justice's mansion is well and tastefully furnished, without any show of extravagance. It is quito possible that tho Chief Justice reaped no largo financial profits from the emoluments of his various positions of trust. His library is quite-extensive, lining two sides of the room, except a epaco over the mantel, devoted ? iu engravings 01 men, one oi wnich is a fine ono of Lincoln, and or;e of ' his uuele Right Reverend Philander ^ Chase. At one end of the room is a fine marble bust of himself, made by Junee, a Cincinnati sculptor, during his gubernatorial term iu Ohio. The ! library opens from the loft side of the hall, is lighted from both ends, and is his working room. On Sun^ day he occupies a pew in the Metropolitan Methodist church, while his daughter worships at St. John's Episcopal. He spends the summer with bis children upon the mountains of South Carolina, where Senator Spraguc has a charming place. Ho " was born id New Hampshire iu 1808, and removed to Ohio whan twe've years of age, where his education was superintended by his uncle, Bishop 1 Chase. Peoplo aro familiar with the history of Salmon Portland Chase, a man whose record as teacher, author, lawyer, Senator, Governor, Secretary of the Treasury, and filially Chief Justice, is something for the nutiou as well as the man to be proud of. SAMUEL NELSON. At the right of the Chief Justice sits ^ Justice Nelson, the oldcBt of the ) judges. He was born in 1792, is a native of Now York, and has been a judge of tho Supreme Court since I 1845, having been appointed by President Tyler. He has shining hair, without bnldneas, and side whiskers running down under his chin. Ho has a rather large mouth, but an exceedingly pleasant face, a figure of medium size, and quaint enough in manners to suggest %be olden times, He has been a judge for forty-seven years, belongs to Cooperstown, New York, and during this present session It aa mnmo of NTn MMU * VVUI9 MV VUV XI Mi'tuilOl XX11 l/Clt NOAH H. 8WAYNE was appointed from Ohio by Lincoln, bat is a native of Virginia. He is of Quaker descent, was early orphaned, bogan the study of medicine bat drifted into law. His face is smoothly shaven, showing the strong lines of "command" down from his prominent Roman nose. He has strong, square ) jaws, with a firm chin, dark hair, somewhat bald, and good sized, well set on ears I aver tnat ears signify as the nose or hands. Great, flappy ears, or little, unfinished, cramped ears, indicate something wrong' al waya. Judge Swayne has an ample 1 figure, and a soul to match. Sociully he is very genial, and is happy in an interesting family of children by whom he is surrounded in a cheerful borne on Thirteenth street. At the age of twenty-eigi't be married .a 9 Miss Wager, an accomplished Virgin> ia lady, who was heiress to a large m number of elaves These were imme* diately set free. This act was only t in keeping wieh the generous nature 2 of the man?a largeness of nature that wins him a warm and popular re* gard fVom all who know aim. He Is sixty-six years of age. DAVID DAVIS U a Marylander by birth, but was apm u.?L -* -I? a UVIU%VU fcV UIU UUIIUU VA IUC7 DUUHJUltJ Court from Illinois, by Lincoln, in 1872. Io physique he is aldermunio. His weight leads through the hun. dreds somewhere, and his friends affirm that his heart is m big as his body. He is hardly as conventional on the benoh as his confreres, fie has a strong, dark, well lined, fall face, wiih ft long upper lip and a row of iron-gray whiskers around under . his cnin. His hair iftfull, streaked I ?L. - ' * wnii gray, ana uis eyes are Oar*. Jtie has a jolly, easy-digestion look, is fiH ty-fivo yean of age, and baa apartments at the National Hotel.

At his loll sits t SAMUEL F. MILLLIt. c|a a ICcntuckiiin by birth, aud appointed Co ly Lincoln from Iowa in 18G2. He gtM was boro in 1816, and in the youngest looking of all tho judges.

He is of good 1101 height and build, has a high, receding 1? forehead, dark brown hair, with a abi bald spot, slightly grayish beard get about his face, a prominent nose with ? < heavy nostrils, small, dark, bright eyes, and looks the least like a judge 1)0| oi all tho justices. He leaves his bei "solemn duties" in tho court room, An aud whon out of it is most compan- jftv ionable and agreeable. He is at homo j at the Metropolitan Hotel this ses4 sio sion. CX] 8TEIJIIEN JOHNSON FIELD, t a native of Connecticut, Was appoint- fuj ed by Lincoln from California,, to which State he drifted on the gold exp.it.Atnnnf in 1 Q-IQ TT^. I?- 1 nr' ... axu hum nuzci cye9, f* a large high forehead, Roman nose, An full face and boarded chin. Ho is fit- it i tj'-four years of ago, and prior to his 8U( present appointment was successfully . identified with tho courts of California. An3r one who knows Cyrus W. ^l' or David Dudley could tell in a moinent that tho J udgo belonged to tho ' distinguished family of the Fields. Qa STRONG AND BRADLEY. CO the two new Justices appointed by mc , President Grant, form the Alpha and ab vuicgu?? tuc juuiuiui row. strong has a long, high, Andrew Jar-knot) ish . head, smoothly ehaven face, with dark ' eyes and hair a little threaded with gray. Justice Joseph Bradley is a New Yorker by birth, but hails from . New Jersey, whi?rh fact is as startling thi as true. He is of excellent stock, of j()? high eulture, and decided y the most Up( thoughtful, profoundost and most-in- to tellectual-faced mat. of the judges. Re lie is of medium height and vise, to with splendid large, dark eyes, regu- jn lar but characterful features, held in n0{ quiet, cheerful repose. He is 57 years ovi of age, and his appointment speaks dio well for the taste and judgmont of He , President Grant. He has pleasant \ apartments at w niard's Hotel, and is an ornament and grace in the manifest sense to Washington society. ] It would be an ungracious thing to CU make invidious social distinctions cm about our Supreme Judges. A gen- wi! tleman well acquainted with them all aft said, "They are all splendid gentle- nin men and good fellows," which meauH lini much or little, as you like. Men have ing a wholesale way of complimenting sav each other that is ii. striking contrast nni to the penurious mutual glorification lac of tho lair sex. It is a matter for ro- Bay gret that their munificence of ex- sav pression is so spongy, however. The justices in court and at home exem- r plify, as do thousands of other men, J tho difference of circumstances. Hu- ?r? man nature is the most lovable thing j in creation, and judges and judged .r are at their best estate in the social Vt kingdom. ^ ~ she Tub New Regime.?According to WI the decision of tho Judges of the Su- to Eremo Court, Mayor Alexander and fiiv is Council will take charge of municipal matte- s in this city for tho next twenty-three months?unless sooner * removed by legislativa exactmcnt.

The census of 1860 , showed 31,443,790 inhabitants in the United States, the number of Representatives in Congress being 241. ~p The population of 8oath Carolina was Xo 703,812, and her Bfpresentative* 4. m xne TriDune estimates the population of the United 8tates in 1S70 to be i 88,340,000, which will increase the representation to 273. The estimate for population of 9onth Carolina in 1870 is 717,000, which will entitle her to five representatives. 1 brJ Pb^oitHiaw Ctawux.

'Senator Robertson's Bill proposes rolieve the political disabilities of all eons subject to tho eame, under tho urteenth Amendmont of theConsti* ion, with tho exception of three sacs of persons, viz: Members of ngreas who lcil their eoata in aid of ;ob?ion; oiucors of tho Unitod States my or Navy who rosigned and >k part with tho South; and mom's of tho Stato Convention which isod OrdinanccB of Scccssion. \ecording to Mr. Robertson's Bill th tho cxcoptiona above montionod, ;re will be a univereal amnesty. It .bought this Bilk will pass. It is ) most liberal Bill of tho kind that ild probably get through Congress iV. Mr. Ttohnrtinn in n favor a total repeal of political dialitics, but his object baa becu to . a bill through. Senator Sawyer's Bill to relieve all sons from the test oath who, not ng embracod in the Fourteenth lendmont, yet practically under tho 7 as it now is, cannot hold office un: the United States. The impresn exiuts among some of the most perienced lawyers, that the Fournth Amendment was a pardon in I to all persona engaged in the aesion movement, who were not ex)ssly includod in the Fourteenth ikuuiuuut, uiiuf consequently, tbftt .vas illegal to exact a test oath of ;h parties not embraced in the Fourtnth Amendment. Mr. Sawyer's II, which has passed the Senate, da this injustice. The effect of the two Bills of South rolina Senators is, that all persons vered by the Fourteenth Amend* int are relieved from politioal disilitics, except as hereinbefore menned, and all persons not covered by a Fourteenth Amendment, are re* ved of the test oath." ^ S ^1 I ! A. "Richmond correspondent says it Mr. Pcabody's donation to Waah;ton Col le rQ of his $60,000 claim un the State of Virginia, is likely prove worthless. Th0 House of preaentatives has referred the claim the board of Public Work*, which, 1866, reported that the State was i liable, after taking voluminous denco upon the subjcct, and after patching an agent, the Hon.
