THE PRESIDENTS PRoTEsT.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times says
"There are facts connected with the proceedings
of the Committee, which have not yet been made
public. The committee agreed soon after it COM
menced its sessions, that in much as the evidence
would probably reflect diShouorably upon the Presi
dent before the evidence should be closed, or
port made upon it, transcript of all the testimony
should be submitted to MIR. Buchanan, that he might
have the opportunity to take such action upon't OF
make such explanations as he saw fit. This was
done. The President never complained or filed pro
test until he discovered that the Committee had
such evidence would reflect lasting disgrace upon
him, and ruin the party OF which he is the head
am assured by one who knows all the evidence in
the case that these facts, and that the charges
substantiated by the testimony before Mr.. Covode
Committee are most conclusive of the knowledge Of
the President OF gross and shameful frauds

REA- The Baltimore Clipper speaks encouraging
~ Of the great Improvement in the administration
Of Justice since the removal Of Judge Stump and
the appointment of an energetic and upright officer
In his stoad. Experience demonstrates that Loco
foco Judge, In large city, is very great curse, MS
general rule because nine-tcnths Of the offenders
against the laws locofocos, and however worth
less they are socially and morally, their votes are
worth much as those of the very best citizens
The extent TO which the democrats have carried
party spirit prevents even the punishment Of crime,
when committed by one of their party, unless the
outside pressure forbids escape. The inefhciency
Of Judge Stump made the administration Of justice
mere farce; and whilst politicians were charging
the Opposition of Baltimore with promoting the
riots and awlessness which disgraced the city, q
locofoco Judge, rs his removal has proven, was the
most efficient instigaor of crime BY suffering it to
ounpunished. 1t folly to expect the judiciary
10 escape the debasing influence of partyism when
every other department Of the government as well
as the social relations of NE masses not escape
And hence the Importance Of keeping the Judiciary
aloof from the political arena.
