| Judge of the law. Hsreupon the old provision y
| 1903 was called to mind. and the Legislature OF
last year enacted statute conforming IN its erec'
ard very nearly in its phraseology to the act OF
| IS09
Under the idea that advantage has been taken
"a this act by Boston Juries to refuse to find YER
diets of guilty against parties indicted under the
Maine law on pretense that such prohibitory
laws ara unconstitutional, bill has been lately
introduced into the Massachusetts, Senate, hiss
passed that body. and is now under discussion in
the House, providing that $50 much OF the act
concerning the duties and rights OF Jurors
passed April :. 1S55, 80 confers on Jurors any
right of judging or deciding the question OF the
constitutionality OF any law, is hereby re-
"pealed." There Is also strong party in the
Legislature which, not content with thus modify
ing the act of last year, seeks to repeal it alto
gether.
Now il is undoubtedly true that many advocates
for preserving the act of the last session are solely
Influenced BY their hope of using II az means of
defeating the enforcement Of the Maine Law; but
the friends OF that law will find themselves very
much mistaken, if they imagine that in the exist
ing state of public opinion in BostOn-where the
law has so very few friends willing to make the
least effort or sacrifice for it, and where it has so
many bitter, active and uncOmpromising enemies
they can in the least promote its execution by
legislative prohibition to Jurors to judge of its
consttutionality.
The parties most to blame for the non-enforce-
ment of the ProhbitOry law in Boston are the very
Temperance men themselves. They were once
very strong there, and they might have been 80
now, but for their own folly and fault Most fool
.Lly they bartered away all their own self-respect
and all their influence with the community in the
miserable scramble of party politics. and at this
moment many who have been among the loude't
protesting friends Of Temperance are bitterly hos
tile to the Maine Law and its enforcement, for no
better reason than that it was enacted not by their
political party but by coalition of Democrats and
Free-Soiers We should like to know whether
Mr.. Samuel II. VALLEY, late Gubernatorial candl-
date of the Hnnker Wings, and whether many
other pillars of the Orthodox Churches of BOs-
ton and its vicinity do not stand precisely in this
hostile attitude, or in attitude of scOhng unbe-
lief in the possibility of enforcing the law not
whit less discOuraging.
We are glad to see that a sort Of Temperance
revival seems to be on foot in Boston. Let pub
lie opinion there be put on the right footing, and
we shall hear no more Of the agreement OF
iures while if that is not done, all the legislation
in the world will never make them agree.

THE WHEELING BRIDGE.

From Our Own Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IL, 1856.
The Supreme Court will hold, by a oonsidorask
majority, that the Act of Congress of 1858 estsS-
fishing the Wheeling Bridge as post route, which
was intended to annul the former decree OF the
Court against the bridge, to be constitutional and
tho bridge legal structure. The case csusp
on action of contempt against the Bridge CompsH
for refusing to execute the first decision, and The
law was pleaded in justification, which is now 's
tanned.
In the cause now pending indirectly involving
the constitutonslity of the Missouri Compromise
a majority Of the Court will refuse the benefits 4
that Act to the coored plaintiff claiming freedom
under it, but will perhaps extenuate this denia
upon the ground that be voluntarily returned "
bondage. 1t was expected that the Court would
stand five to four, but rumor says Judge Grier Is
inclning to the Southern side. There will probably
be strong dissenting opinions. The decree will b
made in fortnight.

We give in another column an extract from a
Southern paper, designed to prove that the COM
plants made of the breaking up of the family ties

and slsve-traders, are all fudge. Suppose We were
TO tell story of married pair at the North domi-
ciled for fifty years more in separate families aud
whose attachment to these families, Joined to the
strength of old habits, proved stronger than their
attachment to each other, would such = story pass
muster as an argument in favor of deprving mar

Because some homicides happen accidentally, or
as the lawyers say, "by the Judgment of God,
