RAIL-sPLITTING.

Some fastidious gentlemen appear to be good
deal disturbed at the presentation made of the Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency, as having
once been q rai-splitter, and at the prominence
and sgnifcancy given to that portion OF bis early
life by the exhibition at public meetings OF rails
split by his hand. The ". Y. Times devotes hall n
column to proving that Mr.. Lineoln's having split
rails in his youth does not constitute reason for
electing him President. "Tbere is nothing" SOL
emily argues that journal, in the employment
peculiarly conducive to the development OF intel
lect, or to the acquisition Of the knowledge OF the
principles of government and political economy
:" for which the incumbent of that Office viii have
special need"
To look at the matter in that light, and to argue
with > mssh gravity and earnestness the question
of rail-spitting as Presidential qualification, is
simply ridiculous. That the japanese Embassa-
doris, or other total strangers to the American
fashion of looking at things should fall into such
total misapprehepsion such an argument implies,
would not be arkable but We should hardly
have expected it on the part Of The ". Y. Times,
great as the capacities of that journal are known
to be. The title Of " rail splitter" given to Mr..
| Lincoln, is merely an emphatic way Of stating
that he rose from the class of men stgmntized by
slave.holding Senators as the "mud.sills of soci
ETY., and the introduction of such into public meet
ings and political professions is but an emblemati.
cal reminder of the same fact So far as concerns
Mr.. Lincoln personally, the point intended to
be made is, that, having risen from rail-
splitting to be prominent citizen Of Illinois,
and candidate for the Presidency, there must be
talent and capacity enough in him to qualify him
for the discharge of the duties of that Office The
main object, however, is an appeal and, as it seems
to us, perfectly fair one, TO the sympathy and the
sef-respect Of that great body Of voters who split
rails follow similar aborious employments II is
striking presentation of that great principle of
our democratic system, that the highest Offices of
the government are open TO all, however humble
their origin, who, by the display of talent probty,
and public spirit, shall attract the favor and secure
the confidence of their fellow citizens. II is simply
saying to the mass of the voters, here is man who
be- trusted to uphold the great interests of free
labor. He must know and understand those inter-
ests; he must sympatbise with them, for he once
was laborer himself

stricliop. A reference to tho recorded votes Of
Mr.. Bell will chow that this claim Of his friends Is
without foundation.
On Feb Is, 1854, Mr. Douglas moved the now
famous clause which declared the Missouri Re-
stdction imperative and roid." This motion
preyailed-Yeas, IS; Nays, 10. Among tho Yeas
il the name of John Bel, Houston being the only
Southern Senator among the Nays-Benton not
voting.
On March 9, Mr. Clayton moved to strike out
go much of Douglass amendment as permits ilnml-
grants from Europe residing in the Territory, who
shall have declared their intention to become citi-
gems, to vote. Carried-Yeas, %; Nays, 2l-Mr
Bell voting against permitting the foreign imm-
grants TO vote. On the amendment declaring that
"the people of the Territory, through their APP
"propriate representatives., may, if they see IT,
"prohibit the existence Of Slavery therein, "
Mr.. Bell voted Nay. The Kansas-Nebras-
ka bill 90 passed contained the clause per-
hitting the foreign immigrant to vote, and
on its final passage Mr. Bell voted against the bill
But az he gave DO for his vote, we can only
gather from his former votes the grounds of his
opposition and these votes show that he was 10
favor Of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
but opposed to giving the foreign residents OF the
Territory vote, and opposed to giving the people
of the Territories the power to prohibit Slavery,
even if they desired to do so. His votes will bear
no other Interpretation, unless, after he had voted
to repeal the Missouri Compromise, be changed
his mind, and voted with the small band of real
conservatives who from first to last resisted the
strife-engenderiDg bill of Mr. Douglas.
These facts are not stated to disparage Mr.
Bell, but to correct misapprehension. Mr.. Bel
has given many votes on questions affecting Slav-
cry Extension which we approve and commend;
but he has given others most Objectionable In
character. The fact IL, Mr.. Bell has sometimes
voted as his own convictions dictated, and some
times as he judged would be most acceptable to his
saveholdiDg constituents. And this conflict OF
authorities would haunt and perplex him if chosen
President on the Platform adopted at Baltimore.
Were he openly Republican, and nominated as
such. he would make a very 'air President; but to
elect him in his present equiyocal attitude would
be to il ct four years of constant embarrassment
on him and of corresponding perplexity and uncer-
tainty on the country. Happily, there is no chance
of this.

LATEST FROM MEXICO.

Accounts from Tampico, TO the 4th inst, re-.
ceired at NewOl leans are calculated to dash the
sanguine hopes which the Vera Cruz advices of a
few days before had raised, Of the speedy over
throw Of Miramon and the triumph Of the Liberal
party. According TO the Vera Cruz advices, the
great house Of Jecker & Co., the bankers aud
financial agents Miramon and of the Church party
had stopped payment, and the the
European powers had suspended diplomatic inter-
course with Miramon, who was represented as sur
rounded by superior force under Gen. Uraga, with
cveryproslect speedy defeat According TO the
Tampico accounts, Gen. Uraga, after his victory
over Gen. de la Vega, had marched upon Guada-
lajara, which city he had entered; but it had
alterward been retaken by Gen. Vol, the Lib.
erals having been completely routed, and Gen.
Uraga during the engagement having had his legs
shot away by cannon ball.
Upon the strength of the Vera Cruz accounts, q
simultaneous call was made, upon the Senate by
number Of our city journals to take up and ratify
Juarez's treaty, the articles on this subject in
the various journals being all so similar in ideas if
not in words as to suggest the suspicion that they
all proceeded if not from the same pen, at least
from the same prompter.
The defeat of Uraga would seem to have de.
lyered Miramon from any immediate danger,
though he may perhaps have some trouble from
Zulooga, who is represented in the Tampico &C.
counts az having escaped from Mramon by whom
he was held as prisoner, and as having proclaim
ed himself President. 1t does not appear, however,
that Zuloaga has any efficient body Of supporters.

Al 900 per annuin In addition to the amount paid
BY the state. None Of the Judges in office when
the act of 1859 was passed appear to have claimed
wh;.s they continued in ofnce--at all events they
did not receive--any addition to their salaries by
virtue of this proceeding But after the term OF
all of them had expired the Supervisors audited
and allowed their claims for the additional amount.
The Controller, however, declined to pay setting
up the aboye-cited provision in the Constitution as
his reason To test the validity of this objection,
mnndamus has been applied for on behalf of one
of the Judges, which was argued doy or two
since before Judge Sutherland.
The Constitutional clause in question was EVIL
der tly borrowed from the Constitution of the
United States. In that instrument it is applied
TO the President. With respect to the Judges Of
the Supreme Court the Federal Constitution is con-
tent with providing that they shall receive a com
pensation (which shall not be diminished during
"their continuance in Office" The f'amers of our
State Constitution, not satisfied with this, saw ftto
apply to the case of the Judges the same restric-
ton which the Federal Constitution imposes in the
case Of the President, namely, that their compen-

they continue in Office. In the case Of the Pres-
dent the Federal constitution, as if anticipating
the possibility Of some contryance similar to our
act of 1882 adds the further restriction that he e
the President, shall not receive any other emolu-
"ment from the United States or either of Them
Whatever may be said of the policy of thus
prohibiting any increase in the salary of the judges
while they hold Office, their does not seem any
room for doubt as tothe intent of the Constitution
The increase is prohibited just as peremptorily
as the dimnution. The pretense set up on behalf
of the claimants, that the annual sum in question
is to be regarded as free gift or present from the
Supervisors, is in direct contradiction to the facts
The Supervisors were authorized to make the
grant, and they did make it, not as gift OF
gratuity, but as an increase of salary, or, in the
words of the Constitution, ga compensation" and
if the judges cannot claim it 10 that character, they
cannot claim it at all. Constitutional restrictions
viii prove Of very little value if they can be cir
cumvented by such constructions.

The prOfuse compliments which The Herald
bestows upon Judge Russell for his disposition OF
the case of William Reilly appear to be little
misplaced as well as extrayagant. This Reilly,
having pleaded guilty to an indictment for an as
sault with deadly weapon, confidently relied, we
are tcld, upon his importance to the Democratic
party as bully and shoulder.hitter to get OIL with
a merely nominal sentence. Accordingly, by
form Of criminal practice VIII Oh seems to be
peculiar to this city, he presented petition 70 the
Judge signed by tho President of the Common
Council, the Alderman for the Sixth Ward, james
Irving. Isaiah Rynders, and other noted DEM
ocras, setting forth the peaceable deposition and
coed character of tho culprit, and earnestly pray
ing suspension of judgment. Now there is no
telling what weight this petition might Lot have
had With the Judge had it not been for the conduct
of the District Attorney. That officer persisted in
introducing evidence which, fully proved that the cul-
prit was notorious gambler, swindler, and bully.
The crime to which he had pleaded guilty was shown
TO be of a very aggravated description. Without
the slightest proyocation in the insolence of street
rowdyism, he had twice discharged pistol, one
ball grazing the head and the other wounding the
neck OF the assaulted party. In this state of the
case, what could Judge Russell dor However
well disposed to obige his political friends or in
whatever awe he might himself stand of shoulder.
hitting politicians, it was impossible for him to
fulfill the expectations so confidently entertained
by the culpnt. Bad as the administration of crimi-
nal justice may be in this city, things have not yet
reached such pass that evidence and decency can
be openly set at defiance. Meany as The Herald
may think Of the political party, to the support of
which in spite of disappointments it seems to be
drawn by an nvineble sympathy, that party is not
yet entirely controlled by rowdies and shoulder
hitters.

.HDICVAI. SALARIES.

The Constitution of this State contains provis-
ION that the compensation of Justices of the su-
"preme Court shall not be increased or diminished
during their continuance in Office" In 1852 the
State Legislature passed an act authorizing the
Board of Supervisors for the City and County of
New-York to make such annual addition to the
salaries of the Supreme Court Judges resident in
this district as they might deem proper. On the
strength Of this act the Supervisors adopted res
olution adding 10 the salaries OF those Judges
