when Will Broadway be Relieved
TO TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

This question has been often put and varously an
swcrcd-bciore Broadway was as crowded as it is and
has been For the last six mon,hstbat the community has
become tired Of reading about the various plans hear
ing the matter spoken d. Since the opening Of the many
stores above the Park the travel from the Museum
the Battery has increased full third and that entire
space for six hours In the day Is scene OF the widest
confusion. This Is principally occasoned by the increased
number VI cartinen and others who shipping goods
prefer to drive through Broadway to taking Greenwich
Nassau streets The poor woman who lost her life
days ago by being over by omnibus and the hun
rcd daily escapes will, it Is to be hoped be the
means Of again agtating the question. Why not cut
through The long block Of Fulton, DEFY, Cortandt AMI
Liberty etreetsY The distance between Broadway and
Greenwich street. these streets is greater than be-
tween the uptown avenues. Church street cut through
10 Temple street viii just divide these blocks. II will
greatly iaciutate trade aud relieve Broadway Property
holders and business below Chambers street should
look to this.

CIEARFIELD COUNTY:
,R, "Reminiscences OF THE PAST.

What were the scholastic attaiuments OF
Thomas Burnside, his legal knowledge and his
ability as an advocate, are shown 10y his resi-
dencc in Bellefonte-the school for Judges
where lie had full practice and met with sue
cess-+ On the appointment of Judge Huston
as one of the Justices of the Supreme Court,
he was commissioned as President Judge of
This District, but it was his blunt honesty, his
desire to arrive at the merits of case regard
less of legal forms and technicalities, and then
to mete out evenhanded justice, rather than
his ability as jurist. which rendered him so
popular as a Common Pleas judge. He was
prompt in deciding such points as arose, and
when he assumed position IT was a rare thing
for him to admit he was wrong. 1t seemed to
be his ambition to transact the business of the
court with despatch, and earn the name OF
working and energetic judge, and he succeed
ed. Different views have been expressed as
to his capacity for that situation, by lis admi-
rers. But an examination of The many leng-
thy and well dgested opinions delivered by
him when upon the Supreme Bench, must sat
isfy any one that his legal requirements were
of superior order, and wellfitte him for the
post. Whilst he presided in this district, the
memorable case of Parsons VS.. Parsons was
tried. James VI Petriken was one of the cOun-
sci, assisted by James 7. Hale. The Court
having denied the correctness of strong
point which Hale made during his argument
the counsel said he could sustain it by certain
cases, but that he had left the books in his Of
flee. ssWhy did you not bring your books
here ?'' asked the Judge. 'sBecause l con-
sidered the point so plain as not to need the
support of authorities; but will step out and
get the books.'' As Mr.. Hale left the court
room, tho Judge, out of humor, said, ''That
man reminds me OF a carpenter who came to
work for me, and left all his tools at home.
The Court has forgotten more law than that
young man knows ''Tbat," replied Mr..
PctrIken, sis just what we complain of-your
Honor has forgotten TOO much" The DOCKS
proved or Mr. Hale's return, that the Court
at fault.
Many are the anecdotes related OF Juoge
Burnside, which do credit to him as man.
but such are their character that unless related
with all their surroundings, they would lose
their point. Still we cannot forbear relating
one incident. Disease fastened its fangs on
his Honor, and brought him to the verge of
the grave. The critical position in which he
%as, caused several eminent physicians to be
allied his bedside in consultation. Under
.l-iE care he became convalescent. Annual-
y, after his recovery, and until he ceased to

books composing his early library show, evince
that he did not skim lightly over the black let
tered page, but pored over it until he made it
his own. He gave opinions only after careful
and patient Investigation; he appeared in court
with his cases well conned, his authorities
well dgested and points well prepared, and
these facts gave him an influence with the
Court and over the Jury which no mere foren-
sic display could have gained him. He was
plodding, careful, close, methodical, correct
These elements of character gained him the
confidence of the business community, and en-
abled him to amass fortune. Socially, but
little can be said of MI. Smith. His deport-
ment was variable. AT times he affable,
communicative and seemingly warmly inter-
ested in your welfare but frequently as cold
and forbidding an iceberg to-day patroni
zing, tomorrow imperious. His position and
his training made him dctatorial, and his
ironical remarks were, to those who were not
aware Of his peculiarities, insulting. 1t is
said that he delivered good speech on the
trial of an arbitration at Philipsburg. His
brother Lewis was the opposing counsel, and
destroyed the effect of the argument by re-
marking to the referees that ''they might have
thought the speech extemporaneous, but had
they heard it as often as he had, and seen Joe
as frequently before the glass practcing the
gestures, it would have knocked that con-
ceit out of them.'' Mr.. Smith abandoned the
practice of law some years ago, and has since
1856 been living in his native city, doing
business as broker.

CHANGES IN THE U. S. SENATE.-The Pro-
Slavery Democracy gain one United States
Senator by a cold bIooded assassination. They
have, by the convincing logic of the pistol, gain
ed the seat hitherto occupied by Broderick.
The Opposition gain three United States
Senators by the honest votes of the people OF
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Minnesota. Messrs:
BieIer. Pugh and Shields, will be replaced
by opponents of Slavery Extension.
Both changes significant, the one OF the
desperate and violent policy upon which the
Democracy rely for success; and the other of
the gradual but irresistible spread of free prin-
ciples throughout the Northern States.
