OVERLAND MAIL ROUTE TO TIL

OVERLAND MAIL ROUTE TO THE PACIFIC.
The Memphis appeal speaks Of the letter of Post
master General BRowE, (which we shall publish in
full SIS soon relieved from the daily pressure Of
Legislative prOceedings,) able and mastery
vindicatiou Of his policy in selecting the route by Ell
PasO, and Of establishing two starting points on the
Observation-Disclosures and st. Louis It is demon
strated that the necessities Of the country as ell
the praccability Of the route clearly pointed to
these two termni on the Mississippi river and that
if either is to be abandoned, then st. Louis is most
out Of the direct line and the central position and
must be thrown aside. Memphis is connected by
railroad and river with all the States east Of the
Mississippi, and is the parallel Of latitude
with Albuquerque, the most Northern practicable
route, and is north Of FL PssO, the best route
Of all-and therefore Memphis is more eligible, in
every respect, than st. Louis.
Gov. Brown also shows that post coaches have
been run for several months past from San Antonio,
in Texas, to California, via FL PasO, and through
Arizona, aud that they have made excellent time,
and therefore, that to abandon this route would be
20 give up a certainty for an uncertainty.
He also expresses the folly and absurdity Of Civ
ing Butterfeld Co., the contractors the choice Of
the ROUTE after they have contracted to carry the
mail over the Southern route, and thus to entrust
to them ampler powers than to the President and
Postmaster General laying them open to improper
Influences.
They shown to be under no ether than Pecu-
MARY responsibilities, nominated in the bond, "
and the extraordinary concession to them of power
10 change their own contract, would be unprece-
Ucnted and monstrous.

THE POPULAR HEART Right.

In the Massachusetts Legislature, resolutions we're
lately introduced to amend the constitution Of that
State, SO as to prohibit naturalized citizens from
voting until two years ggsrthcy had become citizens
A negrois allowed to vote upon six months resi-
dence, and there is no intention Of changing that
law In the debate on the resolutions, Hon. Caleb
Cushing Democrat, among other things, said:
"NIr. Speaker-I-you-We-g Of the
House Of Representatives, belong TO that excellent
white race the consummate impersOnation Of intel
lect in man, and Of loneliness in woman, whose
power and whose privilege it is, wherever they may
20, and wherever they may remain, 60 ChrisllsniEe
and to civize to command and to be obeyed TO con-
quer and TO reign. I admit to an equality with me-
sir, the lrlits mGH-my blood and race-whether he
be the Saxon Of England or the Celt Of lrelsnd
But do not admit my equals, either the red man
Of America, on the yellow man Of ASIA, or the black
man Of Africa"
The loud snd continued applause from the spects
tors in the galleries, that greeted Mr.. Cushing on
the delivery of the above, is strong evidence that
the practical good Of the people will continue
to be- as it has BEEN proof against the equa-
ty views held by the Chases, Giddings and that
Glass Of politicians.

Substance Of The RsuarEso Mr. BULLOCK Of Madison,
on the Bill to abolish the present Clanoery Courts
and to establish Disris, Chancsry Covrts-dsIivsrsd
IN the House Of Representatives, FEB. 3, 1858.
Mr.. SPEAKER: have heretofore aided in estab-
fishing a geparate system of Chancery Courts;
have been the advocate and the friend of the system
because believed it important the interest of the
country.
The system of district ChsnOery Courts was
established twenty-five years since; subsequent
legislation has broken and destroyed that system,
and left US the present system-of a court in almost
every county in the State this legislation has strip-
ped it Of all its excellence; the force Of every srgu
ment in favor Of the system s exhausted and every
reason which could be urged in its support, has
ceased to exist
The most cogent argument urged In support of
courts having exclusive equity jurisdiction was
based upon the fact that the ChsnCeors should have
ample time to bestow on the business Of the court
that patient and careful examination of causes which
IL was believed judge Of the Circuit Court engaged
in the trial of jury causes Couldnot give to causes
Oh the equity docket
The Legislature have under the delusion of max
ing courts convenient to the people, where no benefit
can result from the supposed convenience, created
almost many Chancery Courts as there are Circuit
Courts, and thereby produced the same hasty and
ncOnsiderste course of decision in the courts that
lors instead Of being employed in the courts in
deciding causes, are nearly if not half their time
travelling to.the courts, sometimes longer travelling
to the courts than they are holding them.
The whole system being thus broken up, | have
introduced this bill which in its provisions obvates
all the objections which exists to the system Of
District Chancery Courts, on account of the parties
being cOmpelledltOl, cave the county'n which they
reside 10 attend the court It affords every facility
20 the sutton in the court which court located in
every county could afford him, he need not 20 from
the county to prepare his for hearing, he
DO all things necessary to prepare the cause for
hearing in the county in which he lives.
This bill removes any other objection to the
Chanoery Courts the great delay in these courts is
one Of the most usual objections among the citizens
Of the country, and the bill now before the House
removes that objection and vests the parties with
power to have suits tried in one half the time which
Is required under the present organization Of the
courts and this should commend itself to the favor
able consideration Of the House.
Believing the present system 70 be radically de-
tecve have prepared this bill to abolish the present
ana establish another, and better and less expensive
SYSTEM and if it fail Unjust say 10 the friends Of the
Chancery Courts that ! am no longer the advocate |

And you have paid out of the treasury within two

Can we, with these facts before US, with so large
debt to be paid within the next ten years, dis
charge duties to the people Of Tennessee faith
fully if we refuse to cut off every unnecessary eX-
penditure Of public money? Shall We retain in Of
fee any Judge or other officer whose services are
not necessary Can we justify ourselves in 30
doing?
Pass the bill before the House and reform this
branch Of the Judicial system as proposed by the
bill and three chancelOrs can do all the business
that the six now do better and with more ease to
themselves. If you will not do this, then abolish
the whole system and vest the jurisdiction in the
circuit courts and let the business be done in the
circuit courts where it can be as well dOness it is
the chancery courts as they are now organized. If
you must have a court for all purposes in every
county. then give US where the judge holds the
court three times year, and not in two years,
as is the case with some Of the chsRcelloTs If We
must have chaucery courts, give US the substance
aud not the shadow Of such things.

Il will be seen from this statement that the debt
falling due from SIS TO 1862 including those two
years, amounts S223, 1855 &C If you will pass this
bill, and relieve the treasury from the payment
So 400 the salaries Of three Chancellors, and will
save money sufficient TO pay nearly one-seventh
part of the public debt falling due in the five years
specified if the salaries of these three ChanoelOrs
are left in the treasury If this Of IS, 400 shall
be applied to the payment Of interest the bonds
of the State it will pay annually the interest on
100000 Of the six per cent bonds Of the State; if
permitted to accumulate in the treasury for twenty

it will be seen that very large amount is drawn
from the treasury for the support Of the judiciary,
an amount so large that we should retrench the
penses Of that department of the government,
wherever it can be done without prejudice to any
public or private interest and that this be done
