The Richmond Wing says: Senator Hunter
has introduced a bill into the Senate, providing
for the sale of certain portions of the public
lands to the States in which they lie for the pur-
pose of constructing Railroads and Canals. This.
the Wing says. is move to kill off the
Western land grabbers in their wholesale appro.
priation of the public domain TO purposes of in
ternal Improvement, but it will hardly work out
It's object. Congress may pass Senator Hunters
bill to that effect, but the Western States will
nevertheless. hold on to a cheaper plan than it
furnishes them, for building their Railroads and
Canals-that Of distributing the public lands A.
mong themselyes free of all cost They are not go
ing to buy them on any terms while they can play
the game of helping themselves as they please.
after the manner they have been doing for years
past So long as the old States refuse ia came
IN for any share, the new States know well enough
that they must fall heir to all A proposition
for them to buy the public lands is what they
have no idea of complying with. They are too
smart for that.

Extraordinary Scene in an Indiana Court.


The Richmond Palladium of last week gives
the following account of very singular scene
which occurred on the openingof the court in
New Castle, Henry county, Indiana:
At New Castle we found quite excitement
existing in regard to the President Judge of this
Circuit, Hon Judge A. The court met on
Monday morning, but, before proceeding to bust
ness, amember # the Henry county bar present
ed petition, signed by every member of the bar
in that court, asking, in most respectful TERMS
his honor TO resign his seat upon the bench
The gentleman who presented this petition stated
however, that i'll ease he would not resign, the
petitioners had agreed among themselves that
they would not do any business in the court so
long as he presided. Another gentleman address
ed the court, re-asserting the determination they
had agreed to, and urged in very plain terms the
necessity of n resignation. Another followed,
expressing the high personal esteem he enter
tanned for the Judge gentleman and tavern
Keeper, but justice required him to say that he re-
garded the present incumbent of the bench as ut
tcrly unqualified for the place he occupied, and
hoped he would resign. lie was followed by ~
mother, and he by another, until every member
had in plain terms expressed his opinion of his in
capacity Ae. With nonchalance peculiar to
his honor,h told the gentlemen of the bar that he
would think of the matter, and in the mean time
would proceed To business. He called the cases
upon the docket, and every case which had not
been compromised was continued until the next
term of the court.
Court was adjourned for dinner,& in the after
noon petition signed by the jury was presente
to the Judge asking him to resign. His honor
as ied time to consider, when the lawyers pro-
posed to him that if he would agree in writing
never to come Ia that county again for the pur-
| pose of holding court, and would send some one
in his place, they would be content to drop tn,
matter SO far as they concerned The
| Judge again took the matter under adpisemenf
and, we are told, finally promised never to come
to that county again for the purpose of holding
court until he should be sent for, and would 9TH
er send some other Judge to hold the court, OF
permit the Judge of the Court OF Common Pleas
to hold court in his stead. SO ended the matter
for the present.

The London Commissioners and the Cryhtal

A general report from the commission appoint
ed by the English government to attend the eH-
bibition at the Crystal Palace;in y. Y. has atey
been made To Lord Clarendon. /, is believed to
be from the pen of the Earl of Ellesmere The
specific reports from The different departments

10 Prof. Wilson; machinery, to Mr. Whitworth,
manufactures, to Mr.. Wallis, the exhibition build
ing tr,,de circulars, patent office report, &c, to
Mr.. Dixie, and fine arts, to Lord Eilcsmere
In the present general report, the delay in o.
pening and filling the exhibition i. very deeately
alluded TO, and the most friendly aud respectful
language is employed in speaking of the L. S.
and their population.
The concluding paragraphs of the report are as
follows
I'm its general character the exhibition at n
York may be said to be successful. The lessons
conveyed in the contributions from Europe can
not we believe, fail TO exercise beneficial nilu-
ence over the taste, skill and industry of the II.
States.
THE attention Of the commission wns of
course, chiefly confined to the contributions of
the Americans themselves, and in certain depart
ments the industry of the various States was fair
ly represented, " lfilst in others there was n do.
hciency much TO be regretted, more especially in
the section of raw materials There can be little
doubt then, that in nearly all essential points the
exhibition will prove,to the intelligent and indus.
trious artisans and enterprisng manufacturers OF
America, much more of an instructor in what bo 5
to be done, than an expositor of what has been
done by them; for the latter can be alone fairly
judged OF in the manufactures"
Finally, Il earl refers TO the fact that the pro.
ducing classes of so busy community must ne.
cessarily be ingenious, industrious, energetic and
painstakng, whose popular education is mad,
subseryient alike to individual intelligence ant
natural aptitude for manufactures, with read,
appreciation of all really useful inventions an,
improvements,great original powers aud inmens,
activity.
