The Republicans in the Legislsture, in
passing this bill which places things back as
they were before the partin.n hand Of the
last legislature touched them, have done
that which tho people expected of them
Had Il been done sooner it would not have
been too hastily for the people. We do not
congratulate the people on the fidelity OF
their representatives, for these have but eI.
ecuted their decree; and fulfilled ono Of the
purposes for which they were elected. They
have done simply what was expected from
them, and which, had they failel in doing,
would have subjected them to the just con-
domination Of the people. We do, however
congratulate the people that a great public
wrong has been redressed, and that injury
and violence done to the spirit Of our Con
s,itution has been rebuked, and that in re
dressing that wrong, and rebuking that in
fanny and violence, the way is opened fol
doing justice to man whose beautiful trait
of character never shone more conspicuous
| y than when arraigned before an infariate,
partizan legislature, he was condemnc'
without scarcely the forms Of trial, ant
sacrificed to private malignity and parsizar
spite.

Restoration of Judge Davis.

The Bill relating to the Supreme Judicial
Court, probably now passed by both branch.
e. of the Legislature, while it does not spc-
officially restore Judge Davis, opens the door
for such action by the Executive, as will
carry out the intentions of the people, as
expressed in their verdict last fall. Gov.
IIamlin will lose no time in doing his part
to vindicate the independence of the Judici-
airy, and restore it to the place to which it
. was originally entitled by the constitution,
rs coordinate branch Of the government.
We did not doubt when last year, at the
capitol. we watched the progress of that
most wicked act Of most wicked Legisla-
ture that the people wouldn't the earliest
moment rebuke in thunder tones, the deed
which will cover with inamy to all coming
time, the administration of Samuel Wells
There were circumstances attendant upon
that act, of unusual blackness. 1t was not
simply that an honest man, for discharge
of official duty, was stricken down with
ruthless partizan violence, but his condemna-
ton was surrounded with circumstances and
accompanied by partzan acts, which struck
at the very existence OF all the safeguards
which are given in the constitution to en-
sure impartial trials when men are accused
OF official or moral misdemeanor. In the
purlieus Of the capitol, with bated breath
the subject was preached by malignant par
tizans. and in dark places, with bolted doors,
the matter was discussed, and personal
malignity lent its aid to partizan fury, to
bring about the desired result. In u meet
inc not known to the letter Of the Constitu-
ton. and contravening its spirit, at the near
hour of midnight, after weeks OF dragooning
of the .imid, and with threats towards the
obstinate, the vote to present the address to
remove Judge Davis was taken, and fresh
from tina, unconstitutional meeting, where
tho case was already decided, the leaders
emerged from their subtcrranean hole, and
with the oaths Of God resting upon them,
to act iinpartially, proceeded with solemn
moekery to give the semblance ola trial to
an accused man, who they had already de-
creed should be found guilty, and sacrificed
to personal maligni,y and iancicd party ox-
pediency. And such was the hot haste in
which the deed was done, that not even the
forms of deccncy were observed, the accused
was not allowed the right of introducing
20 rol evidence, or of showing e1ccp, by ar
cumcnt OF counsel, that the o!hcial act which
was charged on him as a misdemeanor in
Office, was one which it was his right to per-
form, and which under the circumstances
he could no. refuse to do without violation
Of duty.
