REMOVAL OF THE BosToN Posi- OFFICE.
The Boston papers of Saturday afternoon
stated that Postmaster Capen had received or
ders from Washington peremptorily forbidding
the removal of the Post Office from State to
Summer Street. Later dispatches convinced
Mr.. Capen that the orders were not authentic,
and that all reports to the effect that Congress
had acted adversely to the removal were pure
fictions. The removal was completed and the
new office opened Saturday evening Much
feeling was prevalent on account of the change,
against what many believed to be positive or
ders from the Head of the Department Yet
it is probable that it will prove in the end salts

The TRIUMPHs OF ART.-Among all the wonders
that have been developed during the last century
by the application of science to art-the steam en-
CINE, the railroad, the locomotive, the magnetic tee-
graph, &c,-there is none more remarkable than the
Photographic discovery, painting in its vari-
Gus forms-and none, perhaps, calculated to have
greater influence the taste and character of the
people. Other discoveries have more direct and
sensible effect material interests but the tendency
of this is By encouraging taste for the beautiful
and, cutvating the affections, to refine to elevate
to cvilize, and thus to mould and modify the char
acter. The wonderful progress that has been made
in this art, in few short years, from the time when
the daguerreotype, then made, was an indstinct
delneation, that could be only by being held in
particular direction, ard then looked as if it was
intended to represent its subject in as hideous form
as was consistent with retaining anything like
likeness, to the present time when the full distinct
warm, and almost breathing pictures seem almost to
cheat you into the belief that they have life and that
they are in reality the things which they only rep
resent SO truly, is quite remarkable f1.hE.
We have been led to this course of remark by n
visit to the Union Art Gallery of Messrs spooner &
Lincoln, whose advertisements will be found in our
business notices. They are now making photo
graphs finished in oil coors, which are most wildly
life-like They take them not only from the living
subject, but from daguerreotype or ambrotype
from which they enlarge them to any desired size re-
tanning all the perfection of the original picture in
Its minutest details. They are also making small
photographs, of size that may be enclosed and for
warded to any part of the country in common let
ter envelope, which they sell at the low price of
three dollars for a dozen. Thus those who would
multiply copies OF deceased or living friend may
90 II without an unreasonable expense. With the
skill taste, and industry eynced by Messrs Spoon
err Lincoln, they cannot fail of success in the pros
ecution Of their beautiful art.

Will this reform be any Improvement to the

complaint of the present system, which has ex-
listed from the earliest period in our history ?
All those portions of the Bill which relate to
costs, may be adopted without changing our
judicial system; if upon examination they
should prove valuable.
The delays which have existed for the past
two years in the trial of causes, have resulted
chiefly from an unusual and temporary in
crease of business, caused by the numerous
failures and great changes in property which
attend such a financial revulsion as the coun-
try has recently passed through. Every law
yer and Deputy Sheriff knows that in this
County the number of new actions is now very
small, and that in years time the arrears will
be swept away, and cases will be reached for
trial under our present system in six months
from their commencement. Indeed, under
the division of actions made at the last term
OF the Court of Common Pleas, cases entered
in November and placed on the Southern trial
list were reached and disposed of.
We have thrown hastily together the forego,
ing suggestions, and do not present them as a
thorough argument againt the proposed alter.
ations in the system of our Courts. But we
think we have said enough to show that the
subject is one deserving more mature and de-
liberate consideration than it can receive at
the present session of the Legislature. And we
are convinced that the people of the County
of Worcester would be much dissatisfied by
sweeping alteration for which they are not
prepared, and which is to be voted upon in
less than two weeks from the time when it
was first presented for their consideration
