The appeal to Judicial authority is the most
un fortunate which the Advertiser has made
or could make. five turn to the very author
ity cited by the Advertiser, Judge M Leans
dissenting opinion in the case Of the Onstea
States 0s. Guthrie, we find these words, WIN
reference to the Presidents alleged power Oh
removal:
There is no such po,uer gireil IN The Constr
tuition. 1t is presumed to be in the PRESIDENT,
from the power of appointment. FMS pre-
snmption. 1 think is unwise and illegal.
By a temporary appointment the public ser
vice is now provided for in case of death, and
the same provision could be made where I'M
mediate removals are necessary. The Senate,
when called to fill the vacancy, would pass up
on the dement's of the late incumbent. Inns,
/ have never doubted, was the true construc-
ton of the Constitution, and am able TO say
it ,cas the opinion of the late Supreme Court,
wsth Marshall at its head.-17 Hosoard, p 800.
Now what will be thought of writer who
passes by such clear unequivocal statement
picking up casual remark falling from the
same lips. The Advertiser quotes Judge
M'Lean's remark that "this power of removal
has been, perhaps, too long established and
exercised to be now questioned" and takes
this casual suggestion, qualified by the word
perhaps and 0biter dictatm even if it were I'M
qualified, for the opinion ITSELF We do not
attribute this error toperversity and DISPOSE
ton to misrepresent. 1t is due to the compla-
cency and concet of pettilogging mind,
which skimming over the surface of Judge
| MLean's opinion, settled upon the words
| which favored its purposes and assuming that
having seen these it had seen all, stupidity
passed on its way unconscious of its blunder-
ing oversight
One more citation and we have done, for
the present, 1t is Judge Story who speaks:
Whether the predictions of the original adj
vocates OF the executive power or those of the
opposers Of it are likely, in the future progress
OF the Government, to be realized, must be
left to the sober judgment OF the community
and to the impartial award of time. If there
mas been any alteration from the true consti-
tutional exposition OF the power OF removal,
(which the reader must decide for himself it
will be difficult and perhaps impracticable, af-
ter forty years experience, TO recall the prac-
tice TO the correct theory. But at all events,
it will be consolation to those who love the
Union and honor devotion to the patriot
ic discharge OF duty, that in regard to " infe-
rior officers" (which appellatien probably in
Guides ninety-nine out Of hundred OF the
lucrative offices in the Government) the rem
edy for any permanent abuse is stiH aottaia
the p0acer of Congress by the simple eIpedsent
of requiring the consent of the Senate to re
maouals Ia such Commentaries, uol. 2,
p. 405.
We sincerely hope the present opportunity
will be used to apply the remedy to this great
abuse. This is not temporary expedent,
but great reform, favored by present circum-
stances to be sure, and for that reason to be
urged noD by every lover of his country.

When we got to Pittsburg it was raining

Invent this forenoon to the Academy OF
Music to hear Rev. Henry D. Moore, formerly
of the Union church, Portland. The services
were very interesting. He preached from the
9Th chapter of Acts, 31st verse, with his US
ual vigor and impressiveness. He illustrated
his remarks by few happily chosen anec-
dotes, and commanded the earnest attention
of his large audience. The society have q

and they are now building new and larger

Along the southern side of the city runs the
Monongahela river and opposite the city right
up from the water rises Coal Hill. There is a

IN engineer. of Paris, for an electromagnetic
brake, hut refrains from recommending It's
adoption. If 1t were worth prize 1t ought
to huve been worth a trial.
Important experiments With this invention
were recently tried on the Southeastern
Railway In. England. On the train were
numerous directors nnd officers OF tbc
principal companies, and printed
programme was furnished to each to
enable him to understand the various signals
and the rapfdity and accuracy With which
they Tonld he obeyel- The experiments
proved entirely successful, and the raptditr
in the transmission Of the signals was scarcc-
y more admired than the e1accuracy Of their
interpretation. The original cost Of the ap-
paratus tor ench car was fifteen dollars, and
the expense Of keeping 1t up was represented
as only ttitling. The magnetic circult fscom-
pleted By & wire extending: outside Of The car,
and the connection between two cara is made
by IN e1hstlc spiral.
The need Of some such contrivance is
strongly felt In England, where sd many
cakcs Of assault md murder have occurred il

carriages. Some OF the London Journals re-
commend the adoption Of the American sys-
te'n Of car signals as much more ci1lcacions
remedy against crime; and In Southern Ger
many and Switzerland approaches arc malo
