EX-SPEAKER WHITE.

The Kentucky "Commonwea alth )
has thought it proper to vIndicate the
repui iation Of the Hon. JOHN WHITE, o
Kentucky, as person of the mos
gen!emanly y and aniable character. N,
such vindicatiOn can be necessary where
Mr. White is known and appreciated as
he deserves to be but, as the false
gloss attempted to be given by his poiti-
cal adversarles to a recent occurrence IL
the House Of Representatives may pos.
sibly have some effect where he is sao
known, we think il due to MIR. White to
transfer the following remarks to our
columns, with the expression Of our entire
concurrence, both in the spirit and the
letter Of those which refer to Mr.. Whites
personal character and qualities
FROM THE KENTUCKY coMuoSwEALTH.
JoHv WHITE.-The Loco press are
endeavoring to transform this gentleman
into Il bully. We know John White in
tlmately, and we can most conscientious
y declare that in the characteristics OF
a well-bred gentleman-in poiteness,
suavlty, forbearance, prudence, good
feeling, and genuine amiability, all the
qualities that make up the character we
both respect and love, he is unsurpasse d
by any mortal man. lie is peculiarly
distinguished in Kentucky for GOODNESS
oftemper and respectlulness Of bearing
But, like every true Kentuckan, he
would be ns prompt 10 resent aflront as
slow to offer it. We certainly regret,
as he has himself publicly regretted the
late occurrence in Congress. Blu, what
could the meekest man on earth do,
when struck in the face, but return the
blow Had he not repelIed his assai-
ant, while, as a Christian we should
have applauded his meek lorbearance,
there is not woman in the land who
would not have whipped him with her
carriers.
ln eleven sessions Of service, though
the most decided 8 firm man, he has nev.
er had before the slightest collision with
any one but has made himself great
personal favorte with all gentlemen of
both parties. The miserable vipers of
Kentucky cannot blur his name.

The Grand Jury of PHILADELPHIA,

/ We learn that the investigation made
| by the Grand jury into the causes of the
recent disturbances in Kensington, have
resulted in the disclosure of state of
things IN that district entirely incompati-
bic with the safety or well-being of its
Inhabitants. Facts have como to light
showing that mob law has been, 10
truth, the only law for months past, in
the region Of the riots. Magistrates
knew these facts, and yet they have
waited until this time, as it would seem,
TO make the disclosure. Or, if they
have made it before, they have not done
so IN the formal manner necessary to
effect suppre ession of the evil.
The Grand Jury have found no little
difficulty in obtaining testimony, even
when the witnesses were before them.
Among those conspicuously reluctant to
further the ends of justice by telling un-
der oath, what they knew touching viola
tons OF law and the persons guilty Of
them, were several police officers 1t
seems to be established, however, by
satisfactory proof, that since the ninth Of
November, the date, we believe, of the
weayer's riots, the aldermen Of the dis
trIct in which that class Of operatives
live, have not been able to get any legal
process executed except for debt. The
lives OF The officers were threatened,
and it was boasted by the weavcrs that
mob could do anything. Thus intimida-
ted, the former left the whole field to the
latter, who confident OF their power,
through long continued independence of
legal restraint, were ripe for any outrage
which occasion might suggest. At
tour different times they assaied the
house OF an employing manufacturer in
their ne ighborhood, and he was OBJ Iiged
to use firearms in defence of his proper
~ and his family. Other monstrous.
breaches Of law have been committed at
intervals, and the only answer which the
aggrleved parties received from the To-
cal magistrates, when apply ing for war
rants TO arrest the offenders, was that il i
was "useless to grant warrants, no man
would dare to serve them"
The names Of many Of these outlaws
have been given to the grand jury, and
some Of them are in custody. They
lived ~ the very streets from which the Il
American meeting was fired upon. We
trust sincerely that the grand jury will
not let this matter drop half finished. 4
The public should know all the facts
which can be brought to light, and the
county government should take measures
TO have every civil officer protected in
he discharge of his duty. If one man
cannot act alone, let hundred or n
thousand be employed, until The enemies
oi the public peace learn, to their cost
hat the law has an arm stronger than
han their own. Phil. North I'm.
