We take the following items from the Pioneer
and Democrat Of last Friday, 11th instant -
ADMIRALTY DEcIsroN.-Judge McFadden rem.
dered decision in the case of the steamer Res
0tute rs. NOrtherner, yesterday. The Judge
awarded $500 to the owners of the Nortkerner
for damages sustained by that vessel in the COL
lisiOn and also ordered half the costs of suit to
be taxed against G. A. Meiggs, owner of the
ResoIute We understand the parties have given
notice that they will appeal the case to higher
court for reversion Of this decision.
SoLD.-"Eden Farm" formerly the property Of
Mr.. E. ID. Warbass, Of Cowltz Landing, was
recently sold at public auction, and knocked
down to the highest bidder, Mr.. 4. A. Clark, for
81, 2,6O0-being just about half what it was ex
pected to bring. The farm consists Of 800 acres,
excellent land, substantial improvements, and ad.
mitted to be one Of the loveliest locations in the
Territory. Property is sadly sacrificed in these
hard times.
The schooner Gen. Harney, Capt. Roeder, ar
rived here on Saturday last from Bellingham
Bay, with 40 tons Of coal for this place. The
coal being much superior to that heretofore got
out and being now delivered here at $S per ton,
whereas it formerly was $l2, many Of our citizens
have commenced using coal instead Of wood
which, at 81 per cord, is said to bS far more
expensive. The coal burns well in stoves adapt
ed for its use, a. well as in fre-plaees supplied
with CRATES, emitting very hot fire. It makes
q clear, bright light, and does not leave that i'm.
mense quantity Of ashes and cindtrsa as formerly.
WerejOice to see the price Of this coal gradu-
ally being reduced to figure within the means
Of all, and hope soon to see it afforded at price
still lower than the above. Many Of our people
will prefer coal to wood, and, when satisfied that
it costs no more, viii gladly exchange one for the
other. We learn that the Company engaged in
getting il out are introducing the requisite ma
chinery to enable them to sell il at price Of
which no one can complain.

THE PRINTERS APPEAL.

In seasons when our funds are low,
Subscribers are provoking slow,
A few supplies keep up the flow
Of dimes departing rapidly.
But we shall see sadder sight
When duns pour in from morn to night
Commanding every sixpence bright
To be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and due-bills are arrayed,
Each seal and signature displayed;
The holders vow they must be paid,
With threats Of Law in Chancery."
Then to despair we're almost driven
There's precious little use Of livin',
When our last coppers rudely riven
From hands that held Il lovingly.
But larger yet those dues shall grow,
When interests added on below,
Length'ning our chin q foot or 80,
When gazing at them hopelessly.
It's 80, that scarce have We begun
To plead for time upon dun,
Before there comes another one,
Demanding pay ferocicusly.
The prospect darkens-on ye brave
Who would our very bacon save;
Waive, patrons, oil your pTetexts waive,
And pay the printer cheerfully.
Ali Il would yield Us pleasure sweet,
A few delinquents now 70 meet
Asking Of Us a clear receipt
For papers taken reg1aFly.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDICIARY.
One of the worst phases of party politics
of the present day, the one to be most rep
robated and dreaded for ulterior effects, is the
tendency to select candidates for high Judicial
stations with distinct and direct reference to
their known expressed partisan views touch
ing questions upon which they may have to
sit as Judges, under oath, to decide according
to law and precedent. This, however, is the
legitimate fruit of the doctrine of the "higher
law" lately come into vogue; the only prac
tical way, indeed, to give it vitality and
power. To this fact the founders, prominent
disciples and chief expounders Of the "higher
law" dogma, have evidently not been blind
or Indifferent. Hence was it that party
convention in Ohio openly refused to renOm.
mate one Of their ablest and most distin-
guished men-Judge Swan-as the candidate
of their party for the place he then occurred
as Judge Of the Supreme Court He was
admitted to be Of high capacity and fitness,
but had rendered a Judicial decision obnoxious
to the political notions of the leaders Of that
party; and for that, confessedly, was he cast
aside, notwithstanding his decision was rem
dered in clear obedience to o law of the SOW
ereign power Of the United States, as he was
bound by his oath Of office to do. His party
regarded the existing law as unjust: the
"higher law" according 10 that convention,
was paramount to il, and some one must be
placed on the Bench Of the Supreme Court
of Ohio who so held it, and would decide
according to It's behest whenever it came in
conflict with the written law, or the Constl-
tuition Of the United States. This is the
simple secret of the repudiatiOn Of Judge
Swan, we regret to say, by his party, with
whom hitherto he had been trusted and
a leading member in Ohio. II was this same
admitted overruling purpose that determined
recently the selection Of candidate in New
York for the Court of Appeals of that State
over two eminent competitors.
Il is one Of the most noxiOus signs Of the
times, that party leaders, presses and con.
ventions, can boldly avow and justify such
determining influences in the selection Of the
judicial officers Of tbs land: that is, boldly
acknowledge and glOrify in the choice Of men
who should take their seats as Judges with
the pre-determinatiou to decide certain class
Of cases TO suit the political notions of an
ultra portion of their party, and in obedience
TO the higher law" rather than that written
law which they have to swear to follow and
be bound BY. ID time that the moderate,
conservative men Of the country, especially
in the North and Northwest, should recognize
the mischieyous ends Of this higher law"
dogma, and of the practical measures for its
application being made through conventions,
by the selection Of judicial candidates favor.
able 70 Il, and willing to decide by II. 1t is

the mischievous heresy, and the countless
evils that must as naturally flow from ii as
decomposition follows death.

BF An annexationist suggests new
way to acquire Cuba, to which he thinks
Spain would knock under" His PROPOSE
ton is to purchase the British claims upon
Spain, which amount to one hundred mil
lion dollars, which he calculates can be OBJ
tanned at a discount of fifty per cent, and
then foreclose the debt upon Cuba. Offer,
in the first instance, a friendly settlement,
by taking Cuba in payment. f'this be re-
fused, take the Island. Spain is in duty
bound to pay her debts, and no foreign
power could interpose to prevent the United
States from enforcing the payment of any
Just claims which they might hold. Eng
land and France could not object to our TAX
ing the same steps to enforce claim against
Spain which they have adopted towards
Mexico England, at least, could not inter
pose to stop the collection of debt she had
assigned. The obstacle iu the way of this
plan is the lack of constitutional authority
in any branch of the Government, to specu-
late in the obligations of foreign nations
This difficulty would be overcome by Mr.
Buchanan, if Congress would pass Slidelr'
measure

plants escape him, and though he converses
freely with his friends, he gives way to no
levity. His beautiful little girl, "Laura,"
visits him daily. His father and mother are
sojourning at the "Mansion House. or old
'Ebbett House" and see him frequently

INCREASE OF PosTAGE.-Cheap postage
has always been popular Democratic meas
ure. The loss of the Postoffice Appropriation
Bill was caused by an attempt in the Senate
to append to the Bill a provision to raise
the rates of postage from to 5 cents. 1t
was carried by only one majority. The fol-
lowing statement of the vote shows that both
Bright and Fitch sustained the unpopular
measure; the amendment prevailed by their
votes, and they may therefore be held, by
their constituents, responsible for the unfor-
tunate consequences that followed. On
