THE SUPREME COURT AT HAVANA
The Cubans are queer people, and
they carry their queerities into every
department Of liie-into religion, which

Justice the freside, which is all else
but true sociablity. The editor Of the
N. Y. Express, who is now in Havana.
thus Describes the Supreme Cour, Of
the Island -
BY invitation of the Attorney
General, to whom took letters, and in
return for whose repeated acts OF
poliIeness ! owe many thanks, | was
permitted 10 see the Supreme Cour',
the his hest on the Island, in session.
There were six Judges upon the Bench,
clothed in lhcr long black silk g owns,
their plated ruiis closely iaseDed
around their necks, and their luce
hand. They were srupulousIy
neat in their appearance, and made a
very formal and imposing display II
their persons. A conscious dignity sat
upon their brows, and each Judge,
clothed IN his robes Of office, looked as
il he thought hinself something more
than human. There were two cases
argued while was present. and uas
the sole auditor OF one, and but three
persons, except the Court and its
officers were present at the other.
The Chief Judge rang his little bell,
when he ani his Associates were ready
to begin the cause. The usher OF the
Court entered, dressed IN black gown
and bearing "A lcng black rod. lie
bowed lowly rs he entered. The Counsel
followed also dressed in lace ruiis, wrist
bands and black robes. They bowed
revs.en;ly, and took their seats. The
signal was soon given for hearing.
and the counsel seated at a table read
his argument, which. at the longest, did
not exceed thirty minutes. lie finished
his discourse and bowed again, when a
very brlei verbal argument was made
10y assisting, or opposing counsel. The
Attorney General, fully robed, was
seated a, the end Of the Bench Of
Judges, and now, not rising from his
chair, took up his argument, and was
heard for few moments, commenting
upon the remarks OF counsel. lie spoke
OF the State. The whole case was
dispatched in fifty minutes. The Attor-
ney General lett the Court by side
door, and then with gracious bows the
Judges, counsel, ushers and attendants
Ielt as they came. One case, in its
forms, was pretty much a repetition OF
lheso,her.
The Judges sat under royal :anoI y
with portrait Of Queen Isabella IL
looking down graciouely upon thtm.
Within the Bar nobody could enter hut
the counsel and usher, and without
though the room was very large AM
very neat, there was not even seat
upon which to rest ones weary limbs.

for The best interest Of the party. The

here and elsewhere show want Of
soundness in tho administration. A
distinguished statesman has truly re-
marked, -"The world has been governed

from principle, believing it TO be Re-

time to cease eulogizing a party as hav-

brought the Dauphin TO this country,
