AUGUSTA, JAN. 81. 1854


Judge Shepley and his associates on The
bench, say in their opinion, among other
wise things, that "experience has proved
that the most important and delicate trusts
are as faithfully performed by one, and by
few persons, as by large number of per-
sons" No doubt but wha, Nicholas I, by
grace Of God Auiocrat Of all the Russias,
would be swift and willing witness TO the
same experience, and petty tyrants all over
Europe would say amen 10 the testimony
II is the new idea OF Democracy, cast from
the pures, metal, and probably will be re.
cosnized as true and living faith by all who
are ambitious Of power and place, whose
character and conduct forbid them 10 look
TO the people for any endorsement, Of their
views and wishes. The notorious seven u
in the Senate, yesterday, proceeding upon
this theory Of Democracy, went through
the solemn farce Of making wha, they term
ed permanent, organization, elec,ing the
son Of York, Hon. L. S. Moore, Pres, and
VIM. TraitOn, ESQ, Secretary. The wings
did no, vote on the questions. In due time
there will probably be some voting which
will nip as with an "un,imely fros,", the
" budding honors" Of these opponents Of
the new Democracy. There may be some
curiosity to know why the County Of York
is honored with both offices. "Thereby
hangs tale" Senator Moore,so runs rumoI
and rumor in this case is not "lying jade"
believing ,ha, the "importan, and delicate
trust" Of President could be most faithfully
performed by him, after the seven had con-
oluded to make an organization, refused Il
bow 10 the mandate Of the caucus. Cutler
obtained the nomination, and aiier Trailou
had had the Pro TEN taken Of, motion
was made to proceed 10 elsc, a President

JUSTICES, OPINION.

Our columns contain Today the opinion

Court, on the questions proposed by the
House Of Representatives., preceding the
same with the statement OF iac's, AMI ques'
lions submitted by the Court. This seemed
10 be necessary, in order 10 give the reader
an ineligible idea Of the matter and is.
sues involved. The opinion susiains, in
every particular, the action Of the House,
justifying that body in refusing 10 20 into
convention until all the vacancies were as.
ceriained and sen, down, and, Of course,
throws the entire responsibility Of the de-
lay in The organization Of the government
upon he seven Senators. who attempted,
BY their novel and illegal procedure, 10
obtain party advantage. il does moi,
however, endorse rs correct, some Of the
positions taken by the speakers Of the
House, "ihat The Senator, being less than
a quorum could moi ACT as Senate" The
judges say tina, for all purposes Of obtain.
ing all organization, any number of Sena.
ators can act as Senate, and as such, ex.
anime returns, declare vacancies, &c. The
opinion in this particular, conflicts with
iha, given by Judge Mellen in 1890, and
concurred in by Judge Paris, and jus,ifies
the remark made by Mr.. Fessenden in The
House, on Saturday last, that the opinion
"was law to-day, il was not yeste rday, and
may not be Tomorrow" The Augusta
Age, says, i, in some particulars " bears
The marks Of compromise" This remark
is anything but complimentary 10 the Court,
saying substantially iha, the Court had con.
sidered The great constitutional questions
submitted, no, as expounders and judges
Of constitutional law, but as referees, and
had made up an opinion by "spli'ling the
difference" in the hope Of pleasing all
parties.
The interest which these differences have ex
cited, and the desire which we have TO place
them in an Ineligible manner before our
readers, and in good shape for preserva.
ton, has led US 10 devote much space TO
the matter. We should have been glad TO
have crowded !, into narrower compass,
but could not, and DO justice.

FIREs.-Sunday was no, only remarkable
for its intense cold, but will be remembered
in several cities as day Of destructive
fires. In Worcester, Mass, at about ~
u clock Sunday morning, what was called
Flagg's Block, was discovered on fire, and,
with neighboring buildings, was eahre'y
consumed. FIagg's block was one OF The
most elegant buildings in the city; and The
fire is considered the most disastrous which
has ever visited Worcester, involving loss
of from $4,000 10 500, 900 worth Of prop.
ehy.
AT Chicago, Ill.,, that morning, the Amer
lean Car Works in that city were partially
burnt. The iron foundry, blacksmilh's
and moulding shops were entirely consum.
ed. Loss not yet estimated, but very
heavy.
AT Portland, on that evening, fire broke
out in the basement of Lancaster Hall,
which threatened at one time 10 destroy the
entire block, but was got under by The
fremen without, serious damage.
