Judge GOOkins.


1t affords US sincere pleasure to pub
lish the following positive denial of
charge, which-if well founded-would
have cast reproach upon the Court and
and the State. The New Albany led
ger, on whose authority we published
the statement, says it copied the charge
from the Logansport Pharos, a paper or
congenial political sentiments with Judge
Gookins and therefore it could not have
originated III any political animosity.-
The Judge says:
The statement is untrue in general aud in
particular. l have not opened my Office in
| Chicago for the practices of law. / have not
received.nor agreed to receive nor been prom
iSed any sum for any such purpose as has been
stated.

F0RFEY's Observation-Disclosures last,
Mr.. Forney, then candidate for the
United States Senate, addressed letter
to Mr.. Buchanan, admonishing him
against the dangers that would beset his
administration, from which the following
is an extract:
"And now. dear sir. there is en- apprehen-
sion among Young America that your four
years are 70 be Signaized by a wrerching
of the bolts and hinges:a carrying away OF
the iron doors of the Federal Treasury by

is perhaps the first that has been dis

The New City Charter.


The City Council referred the question
Of adopting for the city the Charter con-
tanned in the general law OF 1857, to its
legal advisers, Messrs. Baker and Jones,
to learn, ifin their opinion, there were any
legal objections or obstacles to exchang-
Ing the powers and franchises granted by
the old charter. for those provided in the
general act. The learned and sagacious
counsel reported there are none, and un-
hesitatingly advise the adoption Of the
new law. The law confers all the pow
ers now possessed, except that of regula-
ting the construction of party walls, and
the right to subscribe for railroad stock.
The first is very immaterial, as private
interests will regulate the matter and
Of the latter we "have had enough for
the present )" and can therefore dis.
pense with it. The only change it will
make in the Offices of the city will be to
combine the duties of Collector with
those of the Treasurer and change the
title Of "City Recorder" to "City
Judge" and perhaps make new cleo
ton OF that officer necessary. The gen.
eral law will increase the power to levy
taxes, and enable the City Council to tax
to the amount Of one per cent. for gene.
raj purposes. We presume. from present
indications, that the new charter will b(
adopted at the next meeting Of tht
| Council.
