THE SIR ROBERT PEEL.

The manner in which every occurrence taking
place on the Canadian frontiers is mystifed, is a
caution to Munchausen. The late outrage upon the
British steamer, which was first represented to be
such fiat burglary" against her Majesty Queen
Victoria, turns out to be simply case Of piracy,
which is equally outrage against all nations, and
for which no nation can be therefore answerable,
inasmuch as pirate is an outlaw of all civilization
TO whom no government owes any protection, or
for whose conduct none can be held responsible !;
while all are equally bound to bring him to justice
Our government we trust will not be backward in
this high and holy duty.

tainable Mr. c. thought ii useless 10 say or do more

In moving his resolution on Friday last for an in
qury by the Judiciary Committee in the cause of the
failure Of the last term of the circuit court for the
Louisiana District
Mr.. JOHNSON, of Louisiana, explained the Sc
rious causes of complaint which had existed in
Louisiana for years with regard TO the operations of
the Judicial system Of the United States in that State
He stated that no business had yet been disposed Of
in the Circuit Court for that State that the last term
Of the court had not been held in consequence of an
arbitrary attempt of the District Judge remove the
Clerk Of the District and Circuit Courts without
cause. He had been informed, from the most re-
from the District Judge stating that he had perform
ed the duties Of his Office faithfully, mehodicaly
promptly, and uprightly and TO the entire saiisfac-
ton OF the Bench, the Bar and the Public and that
the only reason he had for removing him was, de-
sire TO appoint an intimate friend in his place. On
opening the Circuit Court, Judge Mckinley of the
Supreme Court, after the argument OF counsel gave
an opinion that the District Judge did not possess
the power TO remove the Clerk without cause Judge
Lawrence still maintaining his right 50 to act The
question, IL is understood will be brought before the
Supreme Court of the United States for final deci-
sion. in the mean time, neither the District nor
Circuit Court of said Stale can be held, for the want
OF clerk. Consequently, the important business
furlherperiod of perhaps twelve or eighteen months
and even for much longer time il the case should
not be decided at the next term of the Supreme
Court OF the United States. Thus the OF bust
ness in both courts is to be postponed and the ine-
rests oil The people sacrificed because the District
Judge wishes to remove clerk who Is einnenilv
qualihed Tor the situation and against whom he had
no cause Of complaint, with the view OF bestowing
the office on an intimate friend.

THE SOLDIERS REVERE.
