Plug.Uglyism and the Baltimore Courts.

The shameless course of Judge STUMP, OF
the Criminal Court OF Baltimore, with refer
ence 10 the Express riot cases, in exciting
the condemnation of even that portion OF
the press most Ienient with reference TO the
constant outrages of the PIug.'Jgly organi
za,or. The Clipper says the "sentence
seemed 10 take the Bar and spectators en-.
tirely by surprise, and none more 50 than
the prisoners themselves" The Patriot
regards "lhe administration of criminal JUS
lice as in allegiance during the balance of
Judge SrUMp's term" We have another
case illustrating the administration of jus.
tice in Baltimore. One day last week a ju.
ry empanelled TO try the case of The State
dgt. Schaffer, acriminal case of great impor.
tance, returned sealed verdict OF guilty, y
which had been duly agreed upon the pre-
vious evening, as was shown by The sigma
lures Of all the members of the panel ap
pended 10 it. The jury was, however, poll
ed at the request of the prisoners counsel
whereupon five of those who had found
the ,raverser equity" overnight, declared
him "not guilty" in the morning. The
foreman stated that the verdict had beer
concluded upon without dissenting voice
and the change of opinion is openly charg.
ed TO improper influences after they had
separated. What is more remarkable, Judge
STUMP dismissed The jury without a remark
upon its proceedings.

PR0GR ESS IMPOSSIBLE.
THE GOAL REACHED AT A BOUND

We call this the age of progress. 1t is So
But in some departments of science discov.
cries have been made, and practical sys.
TENS introduced, which leave nothing to
be desired in the way of improvement, and
which, in fact, preclude progress by giving
US perfection at the outset. For example
when Professor HOLLOWAY, some twenty
FIVE years ago, gave to The world his ines.
Unable remedies, he seems to have left
nothing even for himself 10 achieve, in the
treatment of human maadies. The pro.
gress of the demand for his Pills and Ont.
ment has, indeed, been unparalleled in the
history Of medicine but he has found nc
reason 10 alter single ingredient or vary a
proportion. We therefore class the sover.
eign antidotes for external and internal dis
eases with which that distinguished medi
cal reformer has blessed the world, among
the inventions which are perfected at their
birth.
Our method of arriving at correct appre
citation OF the respective merits of opposing
systems, is oy comparison. Now, we have
seen great deal OF what is called regula,
practice, aud do not hesitate TO say that /,
fails more frequently than it succeeds. This
is not the case with Holloway's Pills and
Ointment. In many instances-some ol
which should be specified if space permit.
ted-we have seen these remedies effect
complete and permanent cures, when emf
nent members Of The faculty had exhausted
their reperfous without finding anything
that would even Alleviate The agonies oftheir
patients. Testimony confirmatory of our
own observations on the subject is continu.
ally pouring in from all parts of the Union,
and we cannot refuse credence alike to our
own common senses, the common sense OF
the public, and the almost universal opin-
ion of our brethren of the press
The case as between the Faculty and Pro.
fessor Holloway seems TO stand thus The
faculty have the prestige of antiquity, au.
thority and usage.
Holloway, on the other hand, is not a
man oil mouldy maxims. Small respect has
he for Galen and CANNON. He cites no
authorities, save living witnesses and con-
temporary facts. A few pages suffice TO
develope his system and embrace his sim
pie directions. He denounces mercury and
all corrosive poisons, and does not believe
that life can be saved by draining it's foun-
tains. Above all, he furnishes the whole
civilized, and no small portion of the semi
barbarian and savage world, with Pill
and an O,ntmeai, which appear to accom-.
plish all that the Faculty aim at, but in five
cases-out OF six fail to effect For diseases
OF the stomach, the liver, the bowels and
kidneys, as we'll as for ordinary pulmonary
affections, the Pills are absolute specifics ;
and the sufferer from external disorders or
injuries may recover under the operation of

The Rebound from California.

Horace Greedy went out TO California, as
is now shrewdly suspected, to arrange mat
ters for the election in that Slate. He got
there, al any rate, just in the nick of time
made speeches-tried TO patch up coali-
tion between the Black Republicans and
tine malcontenls Of all other parties, against
the Democrats-and 10 some extent sue
ceeded. The gamblers in politics did up
the thing as well as they could, but they
made a miserable miscalculaion. Instead
of beating the Democracy in this free State.
the rebound is tremendous. The whole
coalition, TO use homely phrase. have
been whipped clean out of their boots.-
Our warrant for this assertion is a dispatch
from Senator Gwin to President Buchanan,
sent 10 Washington yesterday Sy gentle
man who was the bearer of it overland,
which is 10 this effect: The majority OF
the Democracy in California will be twenty
thousand over the combined Opposition
The ticket for Governor has a majority in
every county in the State, except San Fran
cisco, which is doubtful. The Democrats
elect every member of both branches Of
the Legislature, and Scott and Burch are
elected 10 Congress by large majorities.-
This is conclusive. 1t comes from free
State, and is indicative OF The decline OF
Black Republicanism everywhere.
Senator Gwin left San Francisco immedi.
ately after the election, or in the first steam
er thereafter. No challenge had passed be-
tween him and Senator Broderick, as we
learn by a gentleman who came through
as passenger in the overland mail coach
A report of this kind reached is in the Cali.
fornia papers, but it was not correct. Bul

parture of the nail, on the 9th ult., Sena.

ick was challenged to hostile meeting by
MIR. Perley, and that the Senator, who was
formerly conspicuous in New York city in
different capacity, refused 10 accept the
missive, on the ground that the challenge
was not the equal of United States Sena.

is a nice distinction, which has only recent
