LEGAL DECISIONS

A city contempory says, speaking
of the decision of Jude Cotton Of the
Sixth District Court of New Orleans
that He (the editor} regards the
charge as tending to cast discredit
upon the profession of law, and calcu-
lated to destroy all confidence in the
integrity of our courts of JUSTICE
What are the facts. The CITY Of New
Orleans sues to recover a railroad tax,
which is certainly in violation Of the
most sacred principle guaranteed, to
each citizen of the Union, by the Fed
eaal constitution. and the fact is well
known and undisputed, and because a
District Judge in obediance to his
oath, charges the jury that it is his
solemn conviction, that the law is in
conflict with higher law; he is abus-
ed by the press for an assumption of
unwonted authority, and even villifed.
But the question is, must not a re-
action take place, when the excitement
of. the present moment has passed
over? 1t is inevitable. Then people
|
viii begin to ask, rs there any author
ity vested in the State to compel by
form Of law the payment Of tax to
build up railroads." If there is, the
rights of the citizen are invaded in the
most vulnerable point and field is
open for speculation and monopoly at
war with the interests Of the humble
citizen, who is content to let Others dc
as they will with their own, but will
rise in rebellion, against the law that
would take from him, his own sacres
earnings for enterprises OF doubtful
! utility

The Emperor of Russia has with
drawn the whole of his funds from the

during the next four months Russia
has to remit to England, for dividends

A POWERFUL AUCrGoNEER.-lts he
Macon Citizen, of the 10th inst, gives
the following account of the greatest
auctioneering "knock- down" we have
ever heard of:
On Tuesday evening last, while a
book auctioneer was crying OH his

pied by Mr.. j. Barnes, and was IN the

MAKING DIAMoND.-A Paris letter
states that NJ. Depre;z has half solved
the problem of turning charcoal into
diamond; having succeeded by inten-
styling our highest heating powers, in
bringing the carbon, the most insoln-
bic of bodies, to something like state
of solution. The carbon was at least.
transmitted into particles Of extreme
hardness. Some of these appeared,
through the microscope, to have been
crystals, though not transparent. They
can do the work of dimond dust in
polishing the hardest bodies, which
alone makes the discovery one of great
value. NJ. Depretz is confident Of 60
ins much further, though whether he
will succeed in producing the diamond
form of crystalization Is a different
thing.

HE IRIBuNES recent enlargement has evoked very
cheering expressions OF appreciation and goodwill from
avery large proportion of our contemporaries of very
diverse convictions and purposes. We had written
without distinction of party but that is not literally
true, recall it. Those journals of whatever party
which fought the good fight of Free Soil donr whatever
they might to shield the New Territories of our Union
from the ScOurge and blight of Human ,ndage have
congratulated most cordiayon our external improve

gious press these words of appreciation have been EN-
phacaly thorough and animating On the other hand

praise for the funes Of Intelligence and the general
ability well energy wherewith The TRIBUNE is con.
Quoted usually moved to protest against the multi

Some honest friends, the other hand are moved to

that though The TRIBUNE rds formerly prone to very
serious and perOus alterations from the established
standards opnion and action yet of late has absaned
almost entirely from any heretca demonstrations and
that its speedy and perfect conyaescence may be
bly, expected As We have no desire to profit by any
ones misapprehensions, We prefer to be thoroughly
understood on this subject
Before THE TRIBUNE was established its originator
az" Id'or had' by reading and reflection been brought

Starting then with the premises that regimental

would be a better number and Ofthe Austrian reg
mcnts have even more than thatwe come to the concu
sion that eight hundred and forty musicians required
for the fourteen regiments organised and as We have
but two hundred and twenty of these the question is how
to procure the remainder If the question were indi-
vidually asked of each member OF the First Division:
viii YOU contribute - year TO a music fund IT, by
doing can show you that in few years every regi
ment will be furnished by splendid band Of not less than
sixty performers the doubt would be in the
affirmative. Now propose to show how the object
can be achieved for that trifng individual outlay and
hope some leading spirits in the Division viii put our
plan to practical proof.
There are about 5000 men in the division 81 year
each. contributed TO music fund, would amount to
$4,000 This amount would propose TO expend as
follows - coo year to be offered for lease of ten
years 10 any parties who would erect building suitable
for the purpose TO be called The Academy of Military
Music OF the First Division n. Y. 5. NJ" The building
should have very large praccing for full band
and great number, say fifty, small practicng rooms
to which the pupils should have for practice all
hours of the day and evening Another $4,000 of the
fund should be reserved annually for the purchase of in
struments for the OF the pupils, and the balance
81 Geo. would suffice to pay the salaries of sixteen pro-
fessOrs. who could give instruction to four hundred pu
pills The pupils should be boys between fourteen and
eighteen years of age who would contract in payment
for the use of instruments and uniforms and the best in
stTucOn for three years to give their services say for
regmental parades yearly for the three succeeding
years the end of three years instruction they should
be found capable of performing well enough and should
be drafted into any regimcnta band We have doubt
that after three years not less than hundred and
twenty graduates would be yearly sent out OF such in
stitution-a number sufficient TO form two bands-and
thus years all the regiments of the division would
at almost nominal expense, be furnished with bands
Of not less than sixty performers each.

The bands of all the fourteen regiments comprise
about two hundred and twenty performers the largest
