Judicial Corruption.

So loug as the Courts of Justice con-
tinue to be entirely impartial tribunals
there is hope for any people. An incor-
ruptible. Judiciary is a barrier which will
eventually check the tide of passion and
corruption aud cause the laws to be re-
spected aud obeyed. But, when courts
lend themselves to injustice, and judges
become plant tools in the hands of de-
signing demagogues, the strongest bar
riers against tyranny are swept away, and
the people hold their liberties by a ten
ure which is most insecure. An cleo
tive Judiciary is more liatle to become
corrupt than any other. Bad men will
have the audacity to aspire to wearing the
judicial ermine, and weak and ncompe-
tent men, who are favorites with their
party, will be elevated to seat in the
halls of justice. Then, when party
strife runs high, and the strongest preju-
dices of the human heart arc all excited,
it is not strange that bad and weak men
should be found registering the declees
of their party instead of impartially con-
STRUNG the laws. Sad as such spec
tacle is, it is one which the people of this
country have had to look upon frequent
ly within the past four years.
There is scarcely State in the Union
in which justice has not been denied OF
delayed by Judges who have regarded
party more than their solemn oath of
office. Courts have in too many instan-
ces ceased to DO impartial tribunals, and
the laws have been strained or disregar-
ded, in order that political friends might
be shielded from merited punishment, or
political enemies punished. IL is no little
thing for any individual citizen in State
to feel that any of his rights are rendered
insecure by the corruption, the prejudice
or the subservience to party interests of
those whose duty it is to dispense impair
tial justice. TO deny justice to the hum
blest citizen in the State is to deny it to
all, and the whole body of citizens are
alike individually interested in protect
ting the rights of each one. The corrupt
Judge who would allow himself to be BIZ
ased by passion or swayed bya party
prejudice, would be found as ready to
deny justice toa majority of the citizens

High Duties.

The excessive high duties Of our pres.
ent tariff are productive of great unneces-
airy burdens to consumers.
l. They have advanced the price of al
most every article to treble what they used
to be. One chief reason is that so much
gold is required to pay duties, that only
com paratively, a few capitalists can import,
aud they control the markets.
.. The farmer finding he has to pay SO
much more for his clothes, tea, coffee,
sugar, &c advances the prices of his pro-
duce to correspond. Hence the rise in
food
3. High duties encourage the smuggler
to try his chance through the GORDON of
custonl-houso officers, we have 10 employ
an enormous number Of men to try to
prevent him.
4. Duties are so numerous that we
have to keep another enormous batch of
officers to collect them.
And yet we fail to obtain a satisfactory
revenue. The only safe and productive
plan is to impose moderate duties upon
leading articles. All others the cousump-
ton of which is small, should be free.

constructed. We woke up the General,
and with some difficulty persuaded him to
crawl in. With his saddle for pillow,
wrapped in our dry blankets, and his feet
to the fire, he slept snugly and souudly all
night. well closed in hickory bark.
The next morning al old man from the
neighborhood came into the camp with
jug Of whiskey. with which, after imbb-
ing quite freely, he gave us all "a treat"
as far as the liquor would 90. lie seem
ed to be a kind-htarted, jovial and patriot
ic old fellow "priviIeged character,'' in
his county. While staggering about
among the campires, full Of fun and
whiskey, he blundered upon our little
hickory bark tent, which Immediately ar
rested his attention. After cycling it for
moment, he exclaimed, What sort of
an outlandish Indian txin is this p and
gave it Il kick which tunbltd down the
queer looking structure, and completely
buried the old hero in the bark. AS he
staggered out Of the ruins, and looked
fierccly around for the author of the mis-
chief, the old topper recognized him, and
exclaimed, "Hello, Old Hickory Come
ont Of your bark and join US in drink"
There was something so ludicrous in
the whole scene, that respect for his pres
ence and rank could not restrain our mer-
riment. He very good humorcdly joined
us in laughing at the mishap. As lie no
aud shook the bark from him, he looked
so tough and stern we all gave him Uiua
"Hurrah for Old Hickory" This was
the first time he ever heard these words,
"which were afterwards shouted by the
millions Of his countrymen wherever he
appeared among them.
| will only add that Captain William
Allen, of Davidson county, Tennessee, who
died in Pontotoc, in 1888, was distin-
guisbed for courage, integrity, and strict
veracity aud the above may be regarded
as true account of the origin of the nick
