COmmendable.

WILLIAM S. CAMPBELL, ESQ Superin-
tendent Of Allegheny Portage Railroad
has given notice to all persons having
claims against the Commonwea lth for
work done on or materials furnished said
road prior TO December 1st 1S49, to report
ihem TO him Immediately at his office at
the Summit The object of this notice is
10 have the indebtedness Of the State on
that portion OF her Improvements properly
laid before the next Legislature, in order
that an appropriation sufficiently large
may be made to prevent any further delay
IN the liquidation OF these claims. The
amount of Indebtedness heretofore repor-
ted by SuPerintendents has always been
much too small, and the consequence was
That the amount appropriated by the State
for the purpose of lqudatng these claims
has always fallen far below that which
was actually required. This neglect on
the part Of Superintendents has occasion ed
much disappointment and confusion in the
administration of affairs on the Road. and
Mr.. Campbell has very lauGably deter
mined to put an end to It. If sufficient
amount to cover all Indebtedness is not ap.
propriated by the next Legislature i, vii
not be his fault, and those having claims
against the State may now rely on the
proper exer,ions being made TO have them
hauida,ed.

He wore blue damask gown, lined with
silk, white satin embroidered waistcoai
black satin small clothes, white silk stock
ings, and red morocco slippers.
The judges of the supreme court of Mas
sachusetts, as late as 1878, wore robes of
scarlet faced with black velvet; and in
Summer, black silk gowns; gentle men
wore coats of every variety of color gen.
orally the cape and collar of velvet of a
different celor from the coat.
In 1883, Gen. Washington arrived in
New York from Mount Vernon to assume
the duties of the Presidency. He was
dressed in a full suit of Virginia home spun.
On his arrival in New England, soon af-
ter. he wore the old continental uniform,
except on the Sabbath, when he appeared
in black.
John Adams, when.Vice President wore
a sword, and walked the streets with his
hat under his arm. At his levees, in Phil
adelphia, President Washington was clad
in black velvet; his hair was powdered;
and gathered back in silk bag; yellow
gloves, knee and shoe buckles, he held in
his hand cooked hat, oruamenteo with a
cockade, fringed about an inch deep with
black feathers; long sword in a white
scabbard, with polished steel hill, hung
at his hip.

Nomination of Judges,

Since the amendment to the Constitu-
tion, making the Judges elective, has been
ratified by the papers in such signal man.
ner, considerable discussion has been going
on among the people as to the manner in
which these Judges shall be nominated
Some are in favor of the nominations be-
ing made by the Reading Convention at
The same time that the candidates for Gov
ernor and Canal Commissioner are nomi-
mated, whilst others, and majority, we
believe, are in favor of calling special
convention for that purpose. We notice
that the Chairman has called a meet
ing of the Democratic State Central
Committee at NJ M'Kibbens Hotel in Phila-
delphia, on the goth inst, for the purpose
of having the difficulty settled. For our
part We hope and trust that the Committee
will at once see the propriety and expedi-
ency of calling a special and separate con-
venti on, and thus keep the nomination of
the Supreme Judges free from the intrlgues
and bargains which too frequently take
place at State Conventions.

MaYOr Barker,

Joe Barker, the Mayor of Piusburg,
has been completely beaten in his quarrel
with the city counclls-laid out as "cool
as a cucumber" Sometime since, Bark
er became dissatisfied with some of the
members of the night watch and insisted
on their discharge, but the councils re-
fused. Joe, determined not to be foiled
in this manner, appointed a night watch
OF his own. and the consequence is that,
Pittsburg has been for some time blessed
with double sci of watchmen. He then
brought suit agains! the councils Tor usur-
patton of power in not recognizing his
watcRmen, and the case was brought be-
fore the Supreme Court on Friday last
when Judge Coulter decided that the
councils were right, and Joe ,cas ,crong,
and discharged the Rule. Judge Coulter
gives his opinion at length and closes in
the following manner
But the repeal Of the ordinance, author
izing the Mayor to appoint either in the
whole, or in conjunction with a commit
tee, was lawful, and settled the matter
Afterwards, by the appointment of I
Night Watch of his own, the Mayor was
usurpi11g an authority schich he do
not possess, and opposing what it was
his duty TO fulfil. BY this means much
trouble and confusion has crept into the
city; the public peace broken, and the
stiffness of the night disturbed by those
who ought TO have watched over its Quie,
tude. Both property and person have
been rendered less secure, and the reputa
tion of the city has suffered. We may
indulge hope that these proceedings viii
cease, and that peace and quiet among the
| ifunciionaries will be restored. Rule dis
charged.

you not allow Providence TO perfect Its
own plan of gradual emancipation in the
southern states, as it has been achieved in
the north Does history or human ex-
perience show that fanaiicism has not yet
worked out any good TO the whole race !?
But if you will follow your demagogue
leaders, and hurl this Union TO ruin, let Us
ask what will become of them when the
ruin is wrought! There is but one answer
to this question. If Seward, and Greely,
and Weed, and Benton, and Van Buren,
still persist in urging madly on the mass
of the northern people to the destruction
of the Union, when their dupes awake
them from their delusion, they will drag
their seducers and betrayers through the
streets No mob is so infuriated as honest
as betrayed men, whose fortunes and fam
lilies have been ruined by demagogue
leaders. Even Robespierre was put TO
death by his own followers. There is
nothing that can atone for such calamlties
but The blood of their authors.
TO this state of things events are now
pressing US on. Whether we shall be
hurled into the chasm, will depend entirely
upon the action of the northern people in
their coming elections.

Nomination and Election of Supreme Judges.

The West Chester Republican contains
the following article in regard TO the NOM
ination of the Supreme Court Judges
which is entitled TO consideration, at the
hands of those whom it interests. We
fully endorse the ground taken by the Re-
publican, and trust that proper steps will
be taken TO form a new Convention, TO
nominate the Judicial officers. The action
of the Safe Central Committee, of which
Mr.. Hickman is Chairman, would be es-
sential and decisive.
The people of the State having, by a
decided vote, declared in favor of an cleo
tive judiciary, and thus engraled a pro-
vision to that effect upon the Constitution
il will be devolved upon them at the
general election in October 1851, to elect
FIVE persons as Judges TO the Supreme
Court.
That each of the two great political
parties of the State. will nominate and run
candidates for the Supreme Bench may De
regarded as certain, and we doubt not that
| ii is the desire of the mass Of both parties,
that the ablest and purest men should be
! elected. To secure such men, much may
depend upon the convention which make
the nominations.
! We suggested some months ago, that
the candidates for the Supreme Bench,
should be nominated by special cOnven-
ton convened for that purpose alone;
and the more we have reflected upon the
subject, the more firm are we of that con-
| victIon.
The ticket to be presented by the De-
mocracy of the State, for the Supreme
Judges should be composed of men who
are not only worthy because OF the purity
and integrity of their political principles,
but also because of their high moral char
acter as men and well established 9rofes-
sional qualificat tons for the arGuous, intri-
cate, responsible and important duties OF
the office. Such ticket would meet pop

aud sole purpose of nominating Judges!
or, by a convention in which their noni-
nation may, and n all probability. would

convention.

The circumstances of the arrest of a
young man in Brooklyn, some time since,
for the singular freak of stealing lady's
shoe-which he took forcibIy from her
foot, in the street-will doubtless be re-
membered by our readers. He was the
son of minister there, and was ischarged
on the application of his father, who stated
that the habit of getting ladies' shoes and
concealing. them, was mania, to which
he had been addicted from childhood, and
for which he could give no account, He
would often bother his sisters in that way;
and after his marriage, his wife's shoes
w ould miracuously disappear, very much
to her astonishment, as she had never been
made acquainted with this singular pecu-
liarity of his.
The Detroit Free Press states, that as a
respectable, well-dressed lady was few
days since crossing a street, near General
Cess residence, a man with the appear
ance of gentleman, grasped her by the
leg. and threw her down. He then took
of: the left shoe, but seemed to change his
mind, and then took off the right one, and
made off with it doing no other HARM
The shoes were new, the lady wearing
them for the first tine. The man is tht
same one who was arrested In Brooklyn
