Tories OF EXCITEMENT AND ANxIBTY.-The past
-sseirsays the phiindeiphia Inquirer, hes been
Of more than ordinary excitement In the FIRST
plaee, Congress pet on Monday, and day after day
passed by without an organization on the part Of the
House Of Representatives In the second, n rumor
reached us by telegraph, to the effect that civil
yar had bro ken out in Kansas, that blood had al
ready been shed, and that the President of the
limited States had been called upon by Governor
Shannon for troops to maintain the public peace
In the third, u National Convention assembled ut
New York to take into consideration the cause of
ireland, and to determine upon some plan Of eman-
cpation for the Irish people. In the fourth, re-
lations with Great Britain represented to be in
critical way in consequence OF the refusal of the
Ministers of Queen Victoria to give such explana-
tons as have been demanded by our Governmen
in relation to the violation of the Neutrality Laws
In the ifth it is stated that the Ministers of San
Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica, resident at
Washington, have protested against the recognition
by Mr.. Wheeler, United States Minister at NIcara-
gua of the new government ut that place, as inau-
gurated under the auspices of General Walker
The Minister of San Salvador predicts that the con
dition of things in the new Republic called will
not continue and says that his government has "de-
termined to exterminate all foreign adventures
who may invade their soil for revolutionary pur.
poses" 1t will thus be seen that live in stirring
times. The question naturally occur s-what next?
The world is full of anxiety, and week rarely goes
by without giving rise to some new and startling
event or Development 1t is indeed difficult to
keep perfectly calm and COOL the exciting intei-
gence from all parts of the globe is uttered through
the press from day to day; and yet the individual
who permits himself to be moved very seriously, by
events that take place in the distance, will discover
that the wear and tear Of the mind, as well as the
body, are at once unpleasant and exhausting We
should remember moreover that the little troubles
that vex us are as nothing, compared with the hor
rors of the war in the East, which has eau sed so
much DIogIsfcu TAU ugsUruteu many mmInes.

PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-In the U. y. Senate on
Tuesday Mr.. Brcdhead, of Pennsylvania, gave
notice that he should on some subsequent day
ask leave to introduce a bill to grant the right
Of way and to aid in the construction of rail
road from the valley Of the Mississippi. His
influence as member of the Democratic major
ity of the Senate may possibly serve to secure
the passage of this measure in modified form
as his skilful management of the Court o
Claims bill is evidence Of his tact in urging for
ward favorite act. For ourselves we have bul
little hope of the success Of any Of these efforts
as the President is well known to be hostile t.
them. Still the passage Of such bill is desir
able, in order that the responsibility Of defeating
1t might rest where it belongs.

Duty OF GRAND JURORS This is a matter which
is sttrastng considerable attention at the present
time. In some inssancea Grand Jurors have refused
t. find bills against persons, on the ground of the
unuonstitutionality Of the law against which they
had offended. How men acting under oath, to make
true presentment OF all offences brought to their no.
tce, can undertake 10 determine the validity of any
law or its expedieney, We cannot understand II "a
their province to report infracons of law, not to
enquire into its constitutionality. This has been
the general impression, and the Grand Juror who
refuses or negects to present the offender where the
proof is clear against him, must stand in the posi-
tion Of a perjurer-in the position Of one who has
no regard for his oath, his integrity Of character
The Grand Juror who fails to perform his duty on
any such pretence cannot certainly have given that
attention to the matter which its Importance de-
mands-he cannot have looked at it in its various
lights and properly considered the obligations which
he has assumed, and the position which he occupies
If Grand Jurors continue to fail to do their duty on
snch pretext it will be necessary for the Legisla-
lure to provide some mode Of punishment adequate
to the offence. We think, however, public opinion,
IL properly enlightened, will prove corrective in
this case, as few men can bear to be looked upon
yiolators ofobligations assumed under oath.
The idea Of Grand Jurors assuming to determine
the eonstitutionalily Of law is supremely ridiou-
Gus. If this power we're conceded to them there
would be no uniformity in the administration o.
Justice as ono body could set aside the decisions of s
predecessor, or the Grand Jury for the diferan'
counties, sitting at the time, could decide diff
ferentiy, as they have done in Pennsylvania and a
law enforced in one county, be rendered inopera-
tive in another The law should bear upon all
The citizens of State alike and it is the duty Of
every man to acquiesce, and advise obedience and
respect If law il wrong it should BIO repealed,
but 1t should be enforced without regard to cOnse.
