gAGKS0N STANDARD. D
Additional Judges,

The doings of the Legislature show
that our Judiciary system, under the new
constitution, requires expansion, Seven
additional Judges are to be elected, as
follows: One in the lst subdivision of
the 9th District-Columbiana, Carol and
Stark counties; one in the Cd District
Butler, Preble, Darke, Champaign, Mont
gomery, Greene, Clinton, Warren and
Clark counties; one in the Cd subdivision
of the 7th District--Scioto, Lawrence,
jackson and Vinton counties; one in the
"a subdivision of the 9th Distric;-Bel.
mont, Monroe and Guernsey counties; one
in the lst subdivision of the Sd District
Erie, Huron, Lucas, Sandusky and Ottawa
counties; one in the 4th District, which
is composed of the counties last named
together with Lorain, Medina, Summit
and Cuyahoga counties. The list as pub
Ilshed in the Cincinnati Gazette gives an
other Judge 10 the I'd subdivision of the
10th District, but there is no such Dis.
trlct. - Cleveland Herald.
We shall not say that this vast number
OF additional Judges is not demanded by
the rapid Increase of our population and
the growth of business. We do not, how
ever, believe that so many Judges were
required to transact the legal business of
the State. This platoon of new Judges
does not speak very' trumpet-tongued in
favor OF the economical qualities of our
economical, democratic Legislature -
We are sure of one thing, and that is, that
most of these judgships were log.rolIed
through. Some of them had merits,
others had no merits at ALL But there
were so many members desiring the cre-
alton of new judicial districts and the elgc.
ton of new Judges that they combined to
put them through. The bargains were
"lf we vote for yours you must vote for
ours, and they were in this way all put
through. We think the Herald will find
that there is such thing as ''the Cd sub
division of the 10th district" and that
another Judge has been givenit. 1t is re-
ported and is believed that one district
was so fixed that Mr.. Phelps the leading
democratic Senator could be elected 10 the
Judgeship. We shall see whether the re-
port was true, when the district makes its
nominations.
If Republican Legislature had crea.
ted SO many new officers, and in addition
thereto had increased the salaries of the
Supreme Judges to three thousand dol
lars year, and the Common Pleas Judg
es of Hamilton county to two thousand
we should never have heard the last of it
Every Democratic paper in the State
would have seethed with cries of extraW.
gance and Black Republican msrule,-
We shall now see what these papers will
say when they understand that all these
things have been done by what is called {

Will He Sucoead2

For months past, we have been COM
PEELED to witness the humiliating specta-
Gle Of The President OF these United States
bending all lis energies, and using all the
power and patronage Of the executive de.
partmenl of this government, to force up
on the people of Kansas, constitution
that all know to have been conceived in
iniquity, and brought forth in sin; and
this is done after the people Of that ter
ritory in legal manner, have rtpudiated
that constitution by majority Of many
thousands. This great wrong is persist
ed in by the President, in direct viola
ton Of the provisions Of the Kansas Ne
braska act, and in utter disregard Of the
fundamental doctrines Of the Democratic
party, as laid down in the Cincinnati Plat
form. The United States Senate passed
this Lecompton bill by a small majority
and the House Of Representatives passed it
with the amendment that Kansas shall be
admitted under the Lecompton constitu-
ton, provided the people shall ralify it by
their votes. The Senate refused to con.
cur in this amendment, which refusal is
d direct denial of the right of the people
to form their institutions in their own
way.
We were told by the Democratic party
dpring ~ The frauds that they were i'm
posing upon this people, that at the time
the people came to form their State con-
stitu.i ion, their rights would be restored
to them. Their rights are still denied,
and we are now told by the same party,
that the people can at once, after admis-
sion, change the constitution, although
that instrument itself provides that no
change shall be made in it, so far as the
main question in dispute is concerned,
for the next seven years.
The President is yet sanguine of sue
cess in this scheme, and it is a question
of great moment to the people of this ma
ton at the present time-.'will he succeed?
That a measure proposed by the Admin
istration is once defeated, is not conclu
sive evidence that it is dead. After 9
vote is once taken, the President knows
Just what number of members he has tc
buy, and he can then count the cost, and
decide whether he can afford to pay the
price demanded The LecomPton scheme
may yet succeed during the present sos
sion of Congress.

The Conference Committee.
WASHINGTON, April Is

The joint Committee Of Congress on the
Kansas bill met this morning, all the
members being present for the irst time
Mr.. Greene, in behalf of the Senate
Committee, submitted several PROPOSE
tions, amending the Senate bill, none Of
which proved acceptable to the House
Committee.
Propositions were then solicited from
the House Committee.
Mr.. English responded, that at the next
meeting Of the Committee, he would sub.
nit new bill, the precise character oil
which has not transpired; but it is under.
stood to be a proposition for substitute
for the Lecompton ordinance, and thai
the question OF admission under the
Lecompton Constitution, with the amend
ed ordinance, be eIerred to a fair vote oI
the people of Kansas at an early day. Il
the majority vote for it, Kansas is 10 come
into the Union under the Presidents
proc amation; if against it, then the bill
provides for new Constitution whenever
The population there equals the number
required for a member in the U. S. House
Of Representatives.
The Committee adjourned over unit
tomorrow.
There is some reason 10 believe tina
Mr.. English's bill will be agreed to in the
conference, and that it will pass Con
gress.

making any acquisitions Of territory in Central

Spain.

A private letter from Madrid, oil the
25th of March, states as follows:
The interest excited by the question
put by the Deputy Mazo, about the broth
or of the Nun Patrocinio, has thrown in
to the shade another incident which CO.
cured in the Senate and which merits
attention.
M. Vasquez Queipo demanded that the
budget of the Island of Cuba should be
presented and examined by the Senate
The Senator wished that this absolute
authority of the Minister should be put
an end to. With respect to it he made
some disclosures relative to the govern
ment of the Island of Cuba, which is the
richest of the Spanish colonies.
NJ Vasquez Queipo said that after hav-
ing increased the expenses in the Penin-
sula 40 per cent, during the past four
years, in order TO provide for the defcien'
cy caused by the changes which are 50
frequent in the Island Of CUBA where eve
rything is quiet, 54,0Oo,0oO dollars had
been borrowed from the budget sinCe
General Concha had commanded there.
In 1853 and 1854 it was 100000
dollars, in 1857 and 1858 it is l5,000.0 900
dollars, and that when the Island of Cuba
is no longer menaced as it was in 1853
by the flnbusters. But the most serious
facts denounced by the Senator was, that
the government is exercised almost indie.

of fact, species of royalty is established

The greatest danger 10 be apprehended
in a mixed government like ours, is ex-

which framed the Constitution of the
United States, had great difficulty in
coming to conclusion as to what safe
guards ought to be thrown around this
dangerous point, and various plans were
suggested, and the question was apparent

finally settled as we now find it in our

war was actually levied, or commenced.
