The vote on the engrossment of the Bill
relating to the Supreme Court, will be taken
to-day at 10 o'clock. Yesterday Mr.. Vintou
of Gray, addressed the House for an hour and
a half, making one ofthe most powerful and
convincing speeches ever heard in the Hall
He exposes with scorching severity the con-
duct Of the conspirators Of the last Legisla'
turc in removing Judge Davis, and laid bare
to the bone the sncaking perversions and
false statements ofMr. Talbot. Poor Talbot
was the object Of pity while snarting
and writhing under the deserved lash OF
vinton. He attempted explanation, but
like the man chased from one lie to another,
his explanations only served to bring his
Misrepresentation more glaringly before
the view. Vinton is keen and ready de-
batter, always self possessed, and he must be
q smart man and have the best of causes,
who gets the advantage of him in discus
sion. The circumstances under which he
spoke yesterday were exceedingly suspicious,
The house was full, he had ample time Tor
preparation, his antagonist, Talbot, in his
two hours speech had left the bars down in
every direction, by common consent the floor
was yielded to him, he was not cramped by
the feeling that he need be limited IN time,
and he had the inspiration Of condemning a
great wrong, to give strength and power to
his effort. Under such circumstances IN
ordinary man could have hardly failed to
make good speech. With such man as
vinton, wirey, sharp, and energetic in logic,
they could not but be turned to good ac-
count.
Gov. IIamlin will resign his Office some
time in the course Of next month, probably
about the middle, and 60 to Washington to
attend the session of the Senate which will
be held for a few days, after the Inaugural
ton of the new President.
Excepting the debate on the Supreme
Court bill there has been nothing Of general
or particular interest going on at the capital.
The Committees are perfecting their BUSH
ness and driving forward the work before
them with rs much speed as the nature Of
their work admits. l.. o. T..

A Palss Statement Nailed to the Coun.
tar.


Ma. Jous C. TALBOT, In his speech on
Friday last, asserted that erery Judge on
the Supreme Bench was opposed to the rus
tont.on Of Judge DAVIS. This bold state
ment was made without any confidence IN
its truthfalncss but with an evident reliance
on impndnne Of manner to force II upon
the House for the time.
We join issue with Mr.. Talbot In this
matter, and thus publicly pronounce his
statement 10 be Jals.
Let US not b. misunderstood. We assert
from personni kno,eledge that his statement
Is fllss from core to slim, and from skin back
to core again, and We challenge him to pro-
duce single ray Of evidence in support Of
his audacious assertion. We challenge
him to prove that even one Judge on tho
Supreme Bench has expressed himself a. OPP
posed to Judge Davis restoration, and then
We defy him to prove that al the Judges
have done ~.
Recollect, Mr.. Talbot's assertion Is, that
every Judge on tho Bench has expressed
opposition to Judge Davis, and although II
will avail him nothing to prove that one or
tuo Judges have done 80, We yet challenge
him to DO even that. And falling to do II
lot him hide his head for very shame as the
l,bcllsr and slanderer ola good man. The
issue Is fairly joined, and Il involves the
personal veucity Of Mr.. John G. Talbot.
lie has made the affirmation and 10 now
publicly challenged to sustain Il.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
ArGusIA. Feb. 10. 1851

AlolSIA, IeDs L., 1901.
The bill relating to the Supreme Court,
under which Judge Davis will be restored to
the bench, when il becomes law, simply
repeals those acts of the Legislature Of last
winter, which grew out of his removal, and
revives the previous acts, providing for an
eighth Judge. 1t was introduced by the
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Mr..
Herrick, into the Senate, and passed that
branch Immediately mem. con. Its passage
in the House has been resisted by the oppo-
sition leaders, Talbat, Foster, and Buxton,
and regret to say that one or two Repub.
licans, who came out last year from the
straight wings, have given manifestations Of
opposition To it. The Republicans have no;
caucussed upon it, nor will they; neither
will they apply the gag to cut Off proper
discussion. The bill will pass in the end,
and the vote in the House will probably be
taken ON "Wednesday next, by four to one.
The Republicans, in allowing the fullest dis
custom on this bill, and aHording Talbot
and Foster an opportunity to relieve them
selves Of their partian bile, are acting in a
spirit of magnanimity towards these gentle
men, which THEY'LL deserve. These gentle
men were members last year, and arc about
the only monuments of the sparing grace Of
the people, that are left to tell the tale of
their shipwrecked and stranded party. Tai
bot, who made his appearance here ye,ter-
day, for the first time since the first week Of
the session, has just finished two hours
speech against the bill. Never, within the
walls OF the capitol, was there made a speech
more impudent in its statements, more per-
ycrted IN its facts, or more disgustingly par
liz IN in its general character. He had the
audacity to defend the madness Of the last
Legislature, and the assurance TO say that
the people had not condemned it. lie mis-
represented, in gross and particular, the acts
of Judge Davis, the line of defense adopted
by his counsel, and misStated with deliber
ate, measured impudencc the circumstances
connected with the action of the last Legs
la,ure. Among other impudeu, statements
made by him. was one declaring that he
knew that every Judge on the Supreme
Bench was oPposed 10 the restoration o'
Judge Davis, and said, that if the statement
was denied, no would give such authority rs
would establish its correctness. This state
ment will be fully denied Mt the proper time,

there being any probability that the present
Legislature would do one or the other, as
knew full well that the disposition, with the
exception Of IN increase Of perhaps 500 t.
the salaries Of the Judges Of the Supreme

that nothing would be done, looking to an
addition Of either the salaries Of the Gov

my recollection Is correct, such an inference
was fairly deducible from what l said a

be increased by the present Legislature. In

the collective wisdom Of the State will d.
nothing to raise it this year, and those VIII

Lieut.. Mafntt.

In the of this officer, retired by the Naval
Beard the most emphatic tributes were paid
TO his merit, by several veteran officers, Commo-
dore Aulick expressed the opinion that Lieutenant
Mafitt was lit to serve, not only first lieutenant
OF a ship, but in any capacity board a man-of-
war, Commodore McCauley, one of the most emf
nent Of our naval men, considered Lieut.. Maitt an
officer of great intelligence, and would take him as
the First Lieutenant Of his ship if he were going
into action with All enemy. Lieut.. Maflitt wan re-
lered because he had been for tho last fifteen years
detailed on coast survey service with only eight
years prior service. One reason was. that no
other man could be found in the Navy whom Pro
fossor Bache superintendent of the coast survey.
willing to take in his place. Commodore
McCauley testified that this kind of service was ac-
tually better fitted TO improve officer in seaman
ship, than the usual sea service because there was
81 constant practice of seamanship among shoals and
rocks, and heavy responsibility. In retiring such
officers Lieut.. Ma1ht, the Naval Board showed
more zeal than knowledge and exposed their
whole proceedings to the suspicion of an arbitrary
and urgent exercise of the power committed to their
hauds

The Slave Irahc.

In recent debate in tho House Of Commons
Sir c. Wood stated, in answer to question that
the squadron Of British cruisers stationed round
the coasts Of Cuba would be reinforced, with the
Wow Of more efectually supprcsoing the slave
ptrade
Contemporanoously with the adoption Of strln-
gent measures 10 suppress the piratcal trade in
African negroes, Great Britain and France are in
augurating q system Of negro apprenticeship, SO
called, which will inundato their own colonies
with labor, whilst they cut of the slave islands
from their former sources Of supply. This uppren-
ticeship Is the most shameless piece of imposturc
ever played off by the hypoCritical philanthropy of
modern times. 1t il, of course the slave trade in
diaguise, by new name and false prctenccs ena-
bling Great Britain evadc the obligations she has
solemnly assumed in reference to that traffic
The negro and coole apprentices entrapped
into virtual slavery under the pretencc Of con-
tract for term of years, term which will not
expire till the breath has left their bodies If this
il not the slave trade, should like to know what

government to Insist upon its being forthwith put
down. If it is not the slave TRADE. then what is
