OF the philsdelphia North American writes ss fol-
lows, under date of Jan. 27:
The correspondence in the Gibson case dscloses
some curious features affords to believe
that this victim of oppression II not an American
eitixen and that the Dutch Government inflicted
the penalties of which he complains fer violations
of two local laws of which the exact counterpsrts
prevail In the United States. The more this case,
about which 90 much bother has been raised, IL
investigated the moro ridiculous appears the noto-
riesy which Il has obtained. The administration
neither expects indemnity tor Gibson nor proposes

motive of the prompt action of tho Netherland Co.
lonal authorities In repelling the interference Of
Capt. Gibson with the natives of Java, q supposed
10 have been that they suspected him TO be an en-
ieary of the British governmentI

the ermine and maintain it pure. This
is within the province of the legislature;
let them enact such laws as will place
all judicial ineumbents beyond the power
of corruption and temptation, by fixing
the tenure of Office, and giving them an
adequate compensation SALARY that
will insure both talent and requirement,
and secure purity and capacity.
On the other hand, The due influence
which the Judiciary exerts over the COM
munity, is weakened by every act of the
legislature which directly or remotely
strikes at principle established and
recognized by the profession, and it is
their duty to remove everything from it,
that does not tend to elevate it.
We not unfrequently hear the argu-
ment used, that unless you allow certain
judicial functionaries the privilege of
practising in certain courts, you cannot
Obtain men tor the station possessing the
necessary. competency and talent. But
will any one deny that the sacrifice is
not too great, to yield conceded prin-
ciple of vital import, to mere temporary
policy A high and tried principle
should never be made plant to meet an
imaginary exigency, that could be salts
fed in most cases, by the appropriation
of few dollars. Compensate your
Judges well, for the people would be bet
ter satisfied to see their money lavishly
spent there, than upon any other branch
of government.
The present Legislature would dc
well, in remodelling the act con-
cernlns courts and judicial officers, to
make marked distinction between the
Judges and attorneys and counsellors,
and cut off, at once, the power of "a Judge
of any court of Record to- create the re-
lation of attorney and client. 1t is a
dangerous prece lent, we care not in
what court soever it may be permitted.

WIRE BRIDGE-A correspondent
furnishes the following, which may not
prove unintel esting to our readers, par
ticularly as we shall soon be favored
with suspension bridge at this place
1.-The great wire suspension bridge
across the "Father of waters" at and
between the towns of Minneapolis ard
st. Anthony, Minnesota Territory, was
completed previous to the 23d of Janus
airy, at which date the citizens of the
above places and ST. Paul celeb at its
completion The span Of the bridge is
$40 feet-l7 fcet wide, and bears thirty
pounds to the superficial square foot. 1t
is supported by four cables, each cons
posed of 500 strands of No. 10 Wire, and
is said to be one of the most beautiful
and symetfical structures of the kind in
our union. 1t is thought to be on the
line of the Northern Branch of the
Northern Pacific Railroad.
