CORRUPT JUpGEs.-The Federal Judges oil
Nevada Territory, the appointees Of Mr.
Lincoln, are held in very poor repu,e by the
press and people of that section. They were
all poor men when they took their judicial
seats several years ago, and although receiv.
ing small salaries have already amaased
handsome fortunes. Their suddenly acqur-
ed wealth is believed to be the fruit of cor.
rupton in the exercise Of their judicial
functions, and it has now become the general
belief and conversation Of the people, and
the undsgused assertion of the press, that
the Judges can be Dough, and sold like
sheep in the shaInbes. The result is that
all confidence and respect for the Courts has
departed.
This state Of things cannot continue long
without demonstrations that will lead to
trouble. When people lose confidence in
the Courts, they are very prone to resort to
tho mischevous and dangerous aid of Vigil
ance Committees for the correction Of abuses
And to avoid SO great an evil the Govern
nent should remove the present Judges. and
fill their places with men Of sterling integ'
rity.

CHARLES L. WELLER.

The arrest Of this gentleman by order of
General Mcdowell, and his incarceration in
Fort Alcatraz, has caused much surprise and
feeling among the members of the Demo
cratic party. The arrest is said to have been
caused by the accusation, that Mr.. Weller,
in speech before democratic meeting, on
the 2lst inst, counseed armed resistance to
the dratt-and pretended report Of bis
speect, in the s. F. Flag, put such language
in his mouth. 1t is supposed that the charge
was lad 10y some one connected with the
Flog newspaper, paper so infamous in rep.
uta''"n that it is not recognized by any of
the San Francisco journals.
The speech printed in the Flag, is de-
nounced by the Press as a foul libel upon
Mr.. Weller. He made use Of no such lam
guage-but it suited the purpose of some
scoundrelly informer TO procure his arrest,
because of his prominence as citizen and a
democrat-he being Chairman of the Dem,
ocratic State Central Committee. Mr.. Wei.
ler's standing as citizen, and the modera,
ton OF his character, forbid the belief that
he would indulge in any such line of remark
attributed to him; and it is very much to be
regretted that Genl. Mcdowell has sicnalized
his entrance upon official duty here, by an
act OF arbitrary authority, upon the false
witness of some sneaking villain, who dare
not show his face to the light of day.
We doubt not that Mr.. Weller will soon
clear himself of the conspiracy, and be re,
stored to liberty

INcoRREcT.- statement of the Sacra
mento Union that there are 800 men at
work on The Pacific Railroad, at the Boomer
Hill cut, is incorrect. The number does not
exceed forty; and that is all that can be
worked to advantage. The whole number Of
men now at work on the road, upon the
grading and culverts, above Newcastle, are
not more than sixty. We do not see what
is to be gained in the Union claiming a
large force at work, when the contrary is
the fact. The frequent loose statements in
connection with this road, is beginning to
convince people that there is vast amount
Of humbug INDUCED in.

National Expenses Eight Years Ago.

One of our subscribers sends us the follow.
ing, clipped from the New York Ledger Of
July l0th, 1856, which is curious. when con-
tra,led with The expense account of the pres
ent day. Mr.. Bonner expressed alarm when
he footed up the expenses of the government
under Mr. Pierce, and emphasized his alarm
with platoons of exclamation points, as is
seen in the extract referred to:
"LIBERAL EXPENDITURES The expenses
of the government of the United States, un-
der the present administration are as follows:
$75,6SG 400 a year
6,307 900 a month! !!

ministra,ion, during tho Mexican war, when
we had hundred Thousand men under arms,
aud large armies aud numerous garrisons in

Thirty-fve dollars at every tick of the

money goes to- for what it is applied? Some
of it is used for making warike implements,
missiles millions of it to enrich contractors
and office holders--al Of it worse than was
ted. Mr. Bonner offered 20 take the govern
ment and carry it on for fifty millions of dol.
