ORDER PROM CHAOS.

Some DAYS since Judge Roosevelt threw out q
suggestion publicly from the bench, that by way Of
relieving himself and Judge Clerke from the pre-.
dcament in which they were placed, the best thing
Mr.. Peabody could do WIS 10 withdraw from the
bench. Judge Roosevelt suggested that, although
himself and his colleague could not with any pro.
priey set aside their protege in favor Of Judge
Davies, yet Mr. Peabody, having voluntarily ab-
dicated and given up his position Of Judge for
that of suitor, the two judges Roosevelt and
Clerke might then recognize the persistent Mr.
Davies ss Judge, if not de jars at least de faeto.
This may seem to the unprofessional reader like
very thin plaster indeed for the Judicial consist
ency of the two Judges but il they are sati;ed to
accept it as such, there certainly seems TO be no
strong reason why the public should not Be salts
fed also. II will be seen from the letter Of Mr.
Peabody, published in another column that this
project has been carried into effect. Judge Clerke
we understand, formally announced from the bench
yesterday that the judicial character of Judge
Davies would thenceforth be recognized by himself
and Judge Roosevelt.
Thus at last Mr.. Peabody has been compelled to
assume the position of claimant, into which it had
been attempted, very unadvisedly as we thought
and said, to force Mr.. Davies. From tho moment
that Mr. Davies declined to recognize the OK parte
adjudication of Judges Roosevelt and Clerke as
sufficient to set aside an express judgment of the
Court of Appeals, and, in defiance Of that adiudi-
cation, took his seat on the bench from which the
two other judges, even with Mr.. Peabody's help,
did not dare to remove him. ii was perfectly appa.
rent that Judge Davies was the prevailing party;
and we must consider it as no great evidence OF
the sagacty of the three other gentlemen that they
had not found il out before. Yet, better late than
never.
Some strong intimatons thrown out in Mr.
PeabOdy's letter, that the Attorney General,
through whom he is obliged to prosecute his
claim to the seat is disposed to put technical
obstacles in the way of the prosecution of the suit
or indeed Of its commencement at all This, we
hope, may not be the case; but If it should be 80,
Mr.. Peabody will stand on much weaker ground
than he would have done had he not set the exam
pie of seeking by rather questionable means, to
gain technical sdvantage-the weather-gage, as it
were, of this political contest-by forcing Judge
Davies TO assume instead of himself the position Of
claimant of the seat.
At all events our former suggestion to the
Legislature is just applicable as ever. Let some
speedy method be provided of settling these con-
tested claims to seats on the bench, which under
our new system Of elective Judges, and with the
refining not to say qubbliug, spirit which still re-
tains its influence over the bench seem likely to bs
of quite frequent occurrence.
New-York daily tribune., 1856-03-19

We are happy to find in the proceedings of the
Kansas meeting lately held in Charleston, South
Carolina some account OF which, with part ofthe
address adopted BY it, will be found in another COL
umn-a full and complete justification Of our North
ern Emigrant Aid Societies from the charges made
against them by The Journal Of Commerce, and
other doughfsce prints, as well as BY the Admins
tration orators in Congress.
1t will be seen that our South Carolina friends
have not only adopted our idea of Aid Societies,
ard our view of the nature Of the Kansas question
and its paramount Importance but also our reasons
for freely contributing funds to aid the kansas
emigration.
In their Report they put themselves exactly in
our shoes They represent the North as outra-
geously attempting to deprive the Southern slave
holders of vested right long anterior to the Mis-
souri, Compromise, to make Kansas a slave State.
They represent the Free-State men ID seeking to
trampe law and legal rights under foot and BY force,
violence, intimidation and "bubble burstings" to
deprive the shareholders of rights which they
have obtained under the regular forms of legisla-
ton sanctioned and recognized by the Federal Ad-
ministration.
Having laid this foundation of facts, all supposi-
titious except the last. the report proceeds as
follows:
"Lawlsss aggression and designs on side, justify
at east lawful efforts on the other and also excuse,
for the purpose of self-preservation, personal and
political and in the eyes Of God and man, what other
wise may be deemed unlawful"

siye yindicaton-under the actual facts of the
case-of the Whole proceedings of the Free-State

DISTINCTION AND A DIFFERENCE

Barnum having so often humbuggedthe public with
his Joyce Heths his woody horses, bis mermaids
and other similar shows, it is not surprising that
some persons should be inclined to regard his pres.
ent exhibition of himself, in the character OF
poor debtor, getting living by keeping boarders,
and with only twenty five dollars more or less in
his pocket, al partaking somewhat of the same
character. Nor considering the envy which sue
cess always excites are we at all surprised at the
intmations frequently thrown out that, as Barnum
got his money by imposing upon Others, 80 there
was high degree of poetical justice in his losing
it by being imposed upon himself
II is certain that Barnum's examination. as re.
ported in THE TRIBUNE and other journals, taken
in connection with his recent book Of Memoirs is
very instructive document. If 5 new edition Of
those Memoirs should ever be called for, that
examination ought to be subjoined by way Of
appendix Nevertheless, though perhaps open to
some criticisms, Barnum's examination can hardly
be classed with the exhibitions above alluded TO-

half million or more, has suddenly vanished Like

laid the foundation of his lately vanished fortune

to censure than were Barnums The fees which
he extracted, however considerable in the aegre-
gate, were, as to the individual contributors ex
ceedinely moderate; and the physical moral or in.
teilectaal consequences to the parties who paid
them were too slight to be at all compared TO the
evil results Of many other impositions habirualIy

MONDAY IN THE HOUSE-KANSAS.

Editorial Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Monday, March II, 1856.
The whole House and its crowded galleries real
lied that Mr. GALLOWAY made strong and telling
speech on the Kansas Question to-day. 1t was the
first speech so far as have observed, that blanched
Whtfeld's face with the consciousness that his
Congressional hours are numbered. Yet it owed
very little to manner except so far as earnestness
is eoheerned for Mr.. G. spoke, and more espe-
eialy read, much too rapidly, managed his voice
badly, and poured out his words, one upon ano
ther soindstnctly thatwhOle sentences were lost to
the majority of his hearers. The greatmerit of this
speech consisted in its going nearer Ofthe heartof
the matter than almost any of its predecessors. Mr.
Galloway quoted from The 81. Louis hntelligeneer
Missouri Democrat, Weston Reporter, &C., admis-
sions that the Kansas elections have been carried
for Slavery by fraud, and especially cited The
Weston Reporters account of recent Pro-Savery
meeting at Platte City (or some other border town.
at which Gen. B. NJ. Hughes of that Border de-
clared that the business of subjugating Kansas to
Slavery had been managed badly, and be for one
would never 60 over to Kansas to vote again. Gen.
Sningfelsw, in like spirit, promised to make
himself less conspicuous hereafter. In fact, the
admissions direct virtual, Of the Border Ruffian
corruption of the Kansas Elections would suffice
as evidence in case involving life and death
witness the destruction of the office of The Psrk-
rMs Luminary for its structures on these lawless
and usurping acts Of the Border Ruffans-and yet
when Mr. SIMMONS, toward the close Of to.dsy's
debate remarked that he understood no one 10 deny
the reality of those outrages, Gov. SMITH Extra
Billy Of Va rose and said
"Yes, Mr.. Speaker, Ideny it."
Gen. GRANGER of n. Y.-"Then why NOS hAve
an investigation and elicit the facts ?"
Smith did not respond; but the saet that those
who deny that the pretended Kansas Legislature
was elected by Missouri votes streaaously resistS
all investigation is answer enough They know
anita ell that their ,ide of the business will not
bear rsBing open.
DIR. Walk read 8 81 eech, and did not read it
well; but il was abovt as good as the average of its
predecessors on the Border Rufian side. There is
nothing of an insp ring nature to say on that side,
unless you roll yourself up in the American flag
and give three shrieks for the Upion, and Walk did
this about as rsell-in substance, not in manner
as the rest Of them. II is hard to fight against
right and liberty, standing up for usurpation,
fraud and Slavery, and insisting that grave, vel
supported and widely credited accusations of 81
gantic sillsny and oppression shall not even be in
ves'igsted. Walk made quite as good an argument
thought, 50 Richardson Of Illinois, who spokl

Mr.. ROBIsoN's remarks regarded and supported
these points: l. Great frauds were earnestly alleged
and widely believed TO have been committed in tie
Kansas elections, especially in that at which .
LEGISLATURE was claimed to have been chosen. 2.
The line of policy pursued BY the Pro-Slavery
party. in the House and out Of it, amounted to 81
admission that such frauds were committed. 3.
For such great public wrongs, there must ee legal
and fearful redress somewhere. 4. This redress
