The New Judge.

We see tie Democratic papers in this Ju
dicial district are already shifting about for
a candidate FOR the Judgeship. The major
lily of them seem to prefer Judge KENKoE.
W. are very sorry that this should | 9 made a
political issue. We do not want politicians
for Judges, nor do we want a nun elected
u favor n party at the expense of anoth-
er. If we want an impartial Judge he should
be chosen without respect to his politics.
This one practice of the people has done
more to corrupt, and weaken the influence
of our Courts, Than all other influences
bearing upon tqem. i. makes a Court of
Justice q mere tool Of party. The Democ-
racy have taken the responsibility of draw
ing on this mattsr. and wi II 0: course 60 on
in ,he:r design. The oPposition party are
forced into the issue, but will not fear the
result. The last Gazette contains the vote
of last fall in the district showing a major
ity for the Democrats of $50, and grows
bold in the assurance that they can again
succeed. Now if the Democrats are SO aDx-
isus for the contest we are ready to measure
arms with them any day. In the last cleo
ton for President in the nine counties Of
the district, the Republicans had q majority
Of 300, and in last fall election for Repre-
sentatives We had a large majority. Now,
we ask, what have we 10 fear from an in
-cressingly rotten patty. We have a clear
ma jorily, and fear not the contest. But
feeling confident 0! the surcess OF party, We
yet regret that we are forced into a p"lit-
ical issue on this matter. We would rather
vote for a Democrat, run without respect to
party, than for a political friend run as a
politician.

GThe bill donating lands to the sever
al States which establish colleges for the
benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts
passed the House yesterday, by a vote o!
los to 100. This bill was introduced on
the 18th of December, and was reported up
on adversely by the Committee on Public
lands a few days since. lis object, howev-
er, was SO popular, as to get it through the
House by a majority Of five members, vo-
ting irrespective of parties or sections.

6 $40 900 acres Of land. for the purpose OF
promoting and encouraging agriculture;
colleges and school for the mechanic arts.
There is to be apporlioned to each State a
quantity equal to twenty thousand acres for

gress TO which the States are now respec-
lively entitled ~
Section Cd provides that these lands, "af
ter being surveyed, shall be apportioned in
sections, or subdivisions of sections, not
less than one quarter of a section, and
whenever there ure public lands in a State
shall be entitled shall be selected from such
lands.' By this section, the Secretary OF
the Interior 10 also directed to issue TO those
States in which there are no public lands
of the value of one dollar and twenty-five
cents per acre, land scrip 10 the amount OF
their distr ibutive shares.
The States. however, to which the scrip
is issued, cannot locate it within the limits

sssigness may locate it upon any of the un
appropr lated lands of the United States SUBJ
ject to private entry.

ted shall be paid by the States themselves.

ton, preservation, or repair of any building

eff, of this act shall have a college built

Protectorate over Mexico.

Senator HoUsTok has presented a resolu-
ton in favor Of appropriating a select COM
mittee to inquire into the exPediency of our
government establishing a Protectorate to
watch over the interests of Mexico.
As to the nature and extent OF this assum-
ed power we are at q loss. But let il be
what it may, it ia unasked TO-, by Mexico,
and will doubtless lead to difficulties that
this government had better be clear Of
1t is true that the condition of Mexico is
ieplorabie, The very worst of internal strife
and war IN constant progress, but what
right has this, more than any other govern
ment, to settle their difficulties! We do not
presume to judge of motive, but va can
Judge of the consequence of such a proceed
ing. Mexico once under GU, power would
never again be inde peneent. The next
step would be the annexation in Texas
style, and then an attempt of the South to
raise up a number of Slave States. This
would be the mist probable result, and if
appearances do not deceive Us this is the
ultimate design of The movers of this meas
ure.
The stream of Immigration in this coun-
try runs TO the North West, seemingly to
avoid the very atmosphere of Slavery. and
from this the South might take W arning.
and the government know where the de-
mand for new territory is. The idea of
extending a Protectoraie over a neighboring
nation simply because we have the power,
is nothing less nor more than despotic. And
then to assume the garb of virtue, and pre-
tended sympathy is a true re lic of the dark
ages.

Correspondence Of the N. Y. Herald.
Marriage of a Philadelphia Heiress.


PARIS, April 9th, 1858.
A grand event in our American circles
came of this morning. The only daughter
of Mr. John Ridgpay, of Philadelphia, was
married to the Marquis &c Gannay, a French
nobIem.n. The bride has only just turned
her twentieth year, is very handsome, and
highly accomplished. In view OF her faith
er's enormous wealth she has been consid-
cred q great price, and all the young bloods
of title have been engaged in a hot pursuit
Of 10 belle Americana for the last three or
four years. Her parents have allowed her
10 exercise her own judgment and taste in
this, to her vital affair. and the object OF her
choice is one of affection though he adds to
an Agreeable exterior ad old name and ia
vorable ahtecedents.
The marriage came off this morning, first
in the Protestant Chapel, the persuasion of
the bride, and the ceremony was then re-
,ea,ed in the Catholic Church, to which
the bridegroom belonged. A breakfast in
the English fashion followed at the house
Of Mr.. Ridgway. The company were nu-
merous , and mostly French. Some English
and q sprinklirg of Americana were pres
ent. The American Minister was called on
to sign the marrisge contract along with
the Mr.. Barings. Of Barings Brothers, Lon
den, and Mr.. Hottinger, the French bank
er.
: The bride looked very lovely as any pref
ty girl Of twenty must dc, with a becoming
wreath OIL, orange blossoms on her head, and
her eye lit up with the animation of such a
thrilling moment. The "happy man" was
easy and graceful, as all wei! bred French
men are, aud he seemed wonderfully resign-
ed to his luck in marry ing at 20 years of
age a young lady possessing so many charms
substantial and otherwise, as the fascina-
ting Emily R,dgway.
II is rumored that Mr.. Ridgway does not
mean to give his daughter any considerable
dover at present; and some say that he in
tends to bestow the bulk of his vast fortune
on his only son q youth Of some FIVE or six
years old. His father be fore him. Jacob
Ridgway, Of Philadelphia, made the same
preference for the male branch by bequeath-
ing most of his money to his son John, and
cutting off his two daughters, the late Mrs.
Rush and Mrs. DR.. Barton. with the miser-
able stipend of $500 900 apiece. II, there
fore, Mr.. John Ridg~ay, now of Paris,
serves his pretty daughter in the same way,
he will be unde. the unavoidable necessity
of leaving TO his son., the afnr"srid y"ung
gentleman, the pitiiul s,m Of three millions
and upwards. The fortune Of Dir. Ridgway
must be hourly increasing, and. it he lives
twenty years longer, there is no lie ling 10
what 1t will ultimately amount. He is a
care 'ul man in money matters, and Fever
makes a bad investment.

Second Subm ,rine Telegraph.

A grand scheme for a new telegraph
cable. to connect Europe and America is
now under consideration. The design is 10
connect it between the most western of the
Azores Islands and Boston. The one now in
course Of construction is connected at both
ends on British soil. At one end, this one
will terminate at Lisbon, which probably
has q better connection. by telegraph, with
the whole continent than any other point in
Europe; the other terminus is Boston in the

entered into, and the prospect is fair tina,

prevailed to the effect that the Earl Rose
has declared il as his belief that the sp-
preaching summer would be one Of the hot

on this ubsnrd report another was founded
that the noble Earl had erected houses for
the shelter of hi, cutie from the expected

reputation of Lord Rose az an astronomer,
had followed his example in preparing ac-
commoGation to stsll-.eed their stock during
the hot season IL is a lameEtable evidence
