NIasicious--DeviIisS,.

On Saturday evening last, as the Express
train approached the Elmore station, the
Engineer saw on the tract Immediately be-
fore the engine plank, sticking up, facing
him. He whistled for the brakmen, but i:
was too late to avoid collision. No ser-
Gus damage was done TO the engine, and
after delay Of some twenty minutes the
train proceeded. A hole had been dug
under one Of the ties and stout osk plank
stuck into it, supported by stick. at an
angle of about 20 degrees, so that it would
do the most injury to the train, had the
engineer not ii. Such an obstruction
in the night could not be seen until close at
hand. We understand that other obstruc-
tons have been placed on the track in that
immediate vicinity within short time
The man who would do such deed would
not hesitate to commit any outrage in the
whole category Of crime. We hope the
guilty one will be found out and punished
to the full extent of the law.
We are informed that a reward of 5000
is offered by the G. q T. Railroad compa-
ny for the arrest of the person or persons
who have placed obstructions on the track
in this vicinity.

1t thus appears that six millions of peo-
pie have FIVE Judges, while thirteen millions
have four judges. One man at the north
possesses hardly more than one third as
much representation in the highest trbu-
nal of his republican country as one man
at the South Here Northern man is a
third OF man. The simplest exercise of
Justice and common honesty would seem

Senator's and perpetual preponderanoe in
that body. We have no doubt if Cuba is
annexed that that Island will constitute a
new Circuit, the Tenth. So arrogant a
claim at first blush seems preposterous, but
is it no more preposterous than giving now
eight times as much judicial power in pro-
portion to population to Mississippi as to
New York.
We now that some men regard the Su-
preme Court as so sacred that its organiza-
ton must not be scrutinized. We have no
such scruples. When such facile fools as
GRIER, are upon the bench; when we see
a Judge selected from Massachusetts,, solely
because of his subseryiency to the slave
power, as Curtis was; when we recollect
that this is the court of last resort, which
must determine whether an obiteration of
the right of Trial by Jury and Habeas Cor
pus is constitutional; when we remember
that thousand delicate questions between
slavery and freedom may arise under the
Fugitive Slave Law, or the Kansas and
Nebraska bills, we shudder to reflect that
this last citadel Of freedom and law is al
ready secured to do the work and execute
the DEGREES of the slave power. In the
South, every officer, judge, legislator, bends
before that inexorable power as reed be-
fore the tempest. 1t is supreme, above
the law and above the courts. When Mr..
HoAR was sent as a Commissioner from
Massachusetts to try case before the U.
S. Courts, he was driven by a genteel
mob out of Charleston. Mr.. Hubbard
the Commissioner sent to Louisiana, was
compelled to leave New Orleans in very
nearly the same manner. We do not be.
lieve judges life would be worth straw
that should disregard the bebests and com

Honest Democrats. wherever you may

when you should all unite to avert the

to prevent their moulding, Mrs S. says
that this difficulty is Obviated by the use of

Cubn and the Supreme COurt.

We wrote two short articlesa few days
since showing that under the practical op-
Grafton Of the Constitution, northern man
is but two-6fths Of a man in the Senate, and
but two.!hirds Of man in the House, and
that the annexation Of Cuba would relative
ly degrade the North still lower But there
is still another wrong which has been for
half a century perpetrnted upon the North,
which the conquest or annexation OF Cuba,
would be sure to perpetuate.
The Supreme Court is creature Of the
Constitution, but the distribution Of its
Judges, aud many. of its functions and du-
ties depend on the legislation Of Congress.

cy, which has been displayed every where
