LIE HAS HIS RE WARD.

The Circuit Court of the District of Columbia
"a II ia improperly called-it is, in fact, the Su
nreme Court of the Districts tribunal in which
the citizens Of the whole Union have certain de-
cree of interest The office Of Chief Justice Of
that Court was for many years filled with great
ability by the late Judge Cranch, who, even after
bs became in measure dissbled-as was the case
for the last ten years or more of his lie-by the in
6rmities of old age, still continued to give to the
Court highly respectable character for learning,
ability and impartiality. The vacancy occasioned
BY his death has lately been filled BY appointing to
the office of Chief Justice one Of his colleagues on
the bench-s Judge DunlOp-s man whose only
recommendation for the place must have been his
entire devotion to the Slave power, and willingness
70 90 any lengths in peryerting the law. in the in
terest of savehOldiDg.
OF this he gave q remarkable instance in the
case of Captain Drayton, who made quite sensa-
toni Washington one Monday IN ,rnirg some seven
or eight wears ago by setting out the ghtprevous
with some fifty or sixty slaves men, women, and
children, who had taken passage in bis schooner,
the Pearl, for a voyage down the Potomac and up
the Chesapeake, and thence overland to the Free
States On the trial Of Captain Drayton, who
owing to a change Of wind was overtaken at the
month of the Potomac and brought back to Wash.
ippton,) this Dunlop held, against his two col
leatue. on the bench, that this aiding slaves to
run away; though that was an offense specifically
punished by the old Maryland law in force in the
District with fine, was equivalent to stealing
slaves. and punishable by the old Maryland law
With death. Such was the punishment which this
Judge would willingly have perverted the law to
iraict upon g man who had attempted to give
liberty to his (the judges own son. OfcOurse

The Publishers Committee CIR. William H. Ap-

The Publishers Committee Mr.. William II. Ap
pletou and Mr. George P. Putnam deny in their
Circular issued on Saturday that they intended to
charge bribery upon the leading journals of the
city in &c neral, or that there is II the shadow Of
truth in the idea that they meant to bring that
accusation against THE TRIBUNE in particular.
They hsd no intention, so they now declare, to
provoke personal discussion indeed, " the in:
tention Of the article was so purely impersonai
that the Committee WI not allow any false sense
a" of honor to prevent he expression of their re-
" eret that it was in any manner Liable to any
other construction"
In recording this confession, We shall not refrain
from saying that it comes with an i'll grace, as e1-
torted confessions are apt to come, and that 1t
leaves the Publishers Committee as well as some
other persons whose names we need not here
repeat, in no very enyisble position before
the public. They are nov seen, on their own ad-
mission, to have given utteralce to calumnies for
which they cannot furnish the first word Of speci'
fcstion or proof They presumed injuriously to
allude to persons and presses in manner hardly
less distinct than II they had named outright the

We have been handed a number of
Know Nothing documents, with the re.
quest to publish them. They were found
in Preston county, within about a mile
of Zinn's Mill-and most probably were
the papers used by the lodge at Zinn's
Mill. This is further corroberated by the
fact that Mr.. VIM. B. Zinn wrote an order
to the gentleman into whose hands they
had fallen, requesting their return to him
(Zinn) that they did not belong to him
(Zinn.) But the gentleman not recogni-
zing Mr.. Zinn's authority to call for pa
pers which by his own statement did not
belong to him. declined returning them and
sent them hither TO friend for publica-
ton. That they are authentic no sane
man can doubt-they bear unmistakable
evidences of genuineness upon their face
they coincide in tenor and language
with other documents of the same kind
found and published in other portions oil
the country. One of them is ideRticallv
the same in style, language. purport and
appearance with one published in this pa,
per some time ago, viz: the MoundsvilIe
Circular, seeking to nominate John B.

publish some extracts, and make few
comments. The whole would fill our pa
