Political Judges. .

"When an individual is RECOMMENDED
for Judge because he is q sssound radscal
democrat. it is time for the people TO be-
ware. What has politics to do with the
Benchl 1t is the duty Of the court, not to
make laws, but 10 execute them. When
he goes bey ond this, because he is radl'
cal democrat, and construes the law differ
emily from what it was intended, he is moi
fit to sit in the lowest court. 1t is q re-
commentator that any honest man should
blush to BEAR"
We find The above in one Of our ex.
changes, clipped frem the Ohio Reposito'
ry. The wbig leaders from the first op
posed the election Of Judges by the people
for fear, as they said, The Judges so elected
would become parlisans. When their
Convention met, they forgot all this, and
that party was the first to nominate and
urge the election of partisan Judges that
they might carry out the principles of the
whig party on ihe bench. Storer, Con.
vers, Way and Odln would never have
been dreamed Of for nomination, had it not
been for their subserviency TO Whiggery
and Andrews would have stood no better
chance for wbig nomination, had he moi

The Iron Manufacture.

We are told by Gov. Johnston, and his
presses oil join in the stalemert,) that
more than half the furnaces of this State
have been closed since 1916. Notwilh-
standing this statement, these men knoac
that some of the heaviest furnaces in the
State have been erected within the last
five years; and that several of those do
ing the best business al this moment have
sprung up since 1916. We see accounts,
almost weekly, of new furnaces being
built, even with what are called the ex-
!remely low prices Of Iron; and we should
regard any man as fool who should Sc
rlously assert that another would embark
in the business, at time like the present,
unless he saw at least fair prospect OF
realizing profit on his investment
Within the last week we have noted the
commencement of t,Uo very extensive fur.
naces,-one in the vicinity of Camden, N.
j., and the other in the immediate neigh.
borhood Of Pot.svllle in this State. We
have no doubt thai oil the complaint about
runous prices comes from old manufactu>
rers who once doubled their money on
every ton Of iron they made, while nine.
,een.twentieths OF the furnaces that have
been closed, have been slipped because their
nominal owners could not pay their bank
debts. - Pitts. Post.

CUBAN NEws.-The news from Cuba is
conflicting ,and tits difficult to determine the
exact state Of affairs in that Island. One
account states that the patriot forces have
been routed an Lopez, their great leader,
captured; another, that the patriots had
two successful engagements with the gov
ernment troops, In which the latter lost
large number, killed, and from 500 TO
500 taken prisoners. In, the mean time,
the interest in this country in the progress
and result of this struggle is intense, and
large and enthusiastic meetings are being
held in all the cities throughout the Union,
expressing sympathy for the revolutionists,
and denouncing the brutal massacre of the
fifty brave men at Havana by the Cuban
authorities That act has reused a spirit

New Order of Things.

To day is the dawning Of new era in
the history of Ohio 4Old things have pass
ed away, and, behold, all things have be-
come new" To-day the New Constitution
adopted by the people, takes effect, and the
ship of State sets sail under new chart.
While the people of the Old world are fac
ing death at the cannon's mouth and by
sabre stroke, to Sc cure recognition of the
first great principle that lies atthe very base
of all republican governments, the right of
the people to govern, ave have passed thro'
a revelation Of entirely different character,
and marched forward with rapid strides to
the perfection of our institutions. Here,
the simple ballot, falling silently as the
snow upon the mountains brow, accom-
piishes a work of political reform, which
thousands of brave men marshalled in bat
tie array, have thus far failed to secure for
the downtrodden and oppressed of the Old
World.
But this revolution has not been secured
without struggle. 1t has required years
ofpatient ardent effort to bring about the
reforms for which the new constitution pro-
vides. The advocates of special privileg-
es and vested rights have resisted Them at
eyry step of their onward progress. They
have made the interests of capitalists, the
srich and well born,' the first objects of their
care and regard, and when they have been
in power they have layished upon, them
privileges and immunities which are denied
TO the mass of the people, until the desti'
nies of this State seemed committed to the
hands Of an odious privileged order, who
have fed and fattened upon the toll of tht
masses. Though the cause of progress and
popular equality has achieved present vic
tory, the revolution is not vet complete
The enemies Of reform are again in the field
Thrice defeated in open conflict upon these
questions, they are now secretly at worl
norder to thwart the provisions of that in
strument. Though the Whig State Con
vention was entirely silent Upon the snbjec
of the New Constitution, it will be seen b,
the Circular Of the Wing State Contra
Committee, which we publish in anot b
er column, that the leaders Of tina
party are at work uader the cover o
secrecy, making the constitution the issu
in the present contest. If they succeed 1.-The.
will claim il as the verdict of the people a
gainst that instrument. Will the peopl
now suffer them to triumph? Will the
commit the fate of these reforms to th
! hands Of those who have opposed them fror
the outset? As well might the fathers {
The Revolution have committed the destinie
Of this Republic to the lender mercies Of tf

ance. We translate from The New York
LEO d'Italia, The following coYrespon
dence on the subject, dated Turin, August
4th:-
Professor Bargnani, from Brescia, Lom-
bardy, exiled for many years from his na-
tive land, wns long time in the United
States, OF which country he became cili-
zen, and had an American passport. Rc>
siding for two years in this city, he applied
and obtained from The Austrian Legation
in Turin, permission to visit Brescia, for a
limited Time only, in order to settle some
family affairs. After he had accomplished
his business, he was prevented by the
Austrian police from leaving the city of
Brescio, and cannot return to Turin,
where his wife and children reside. The
answer given to his numerous petitions is,
that the Austrian government permitted
him 10 enter the Lombardy territory, but
not to leave it.
We hope our government will look into
this matter, and put an end 10 such practices
of the Austrian authorities against peaceful
American citizens. 1t has been said thai
