OUR COURTS.

We have occasion often 10 complain Of our Courts,
aud with full sense that the good Of society requires
that their faults and shortcomings should rather be
concealed than exaggerated we unable to pass in
silence Of the abuses that they tolerate if they
do not originate them. We have, however, held our
peace for long time past believing that most Of the
abuses have had their origin in this ever-to-be-
execrated system Of electing Judges aud in the firm
belief that that greatest political bunder OF any time
or any State is soon to be rectcd by the Constitu-
tional Convention which all good men Of both parties
arc going to vote for at the November election. We
cannot however but notice with appreciation the an
nouncement of Judge Barnard at Chambers yesterday
published in another column-in which he declares
his intention Of sitting from to 10 o'clock SIX morn
ngs in week, through the year, as ct Chambers Tor
the purpose Of relieving whet we believe is generally
known among the lawyers as the " Bear Garden y
of the Court We do not refer TO this much for the
purpose Of praising Judge Bamard-for we have no
disposition to bestow praise simply because an officer
discharges his bounden duy-as for the purpose OF
asking the learned Judges why this was not done be-
fore, and why it has not always been done-not by
one Judge only, but By several or all the Judges
When these learned gentlemen were at the bar earning
perhaps less than $4,000 year, they thought it no
hardship 10 be at their offices early o'clock in
the morning If they were working forany corporation
or person other than the publicthe forever pundered
pubic-would it be suggested that their convenience
would not permit them TO be at their places OF business
earlier than 10 o'clock We are told that this an
nouncement on the part of Judge Barnard has met,
or is likely to meet, with opposition from the other
Judges. We beg to say frankly that VIC do not be-
lieve il. Pray, let ask, in whose interest would
they obectl In the interest of the public With
their kind permission, we would undertake to answer
for that In the interests of the Bari thousand
voices from their ranks will answer for that.
In the interest of SuitorS Ask those who pay counsel
for waiting whole day to obtain an order that should
be got in ten minutes, if judge could be got at Nor
yet is it possible that such objection should be
made in the interests of the Judges themseyes-for if
not over fond of work they will be grateful to Judge
Barnard for relieving them. We think OF no other
interest that can raise objectOn-none indeed that
il would be respectful to hint at.
We congratulate the bar upon the prospect OF hav-
ing their morning business promptly and satisfactorily
DONE The delay that has crippled the practice of
the profession for the past few years. arising from the
abuse to which we have referred is, trust, at On
end We cannot doubt that the praiseworthy ex-
ample Of Judge Barnard will be followed By the other
Judges.

A trial is about to take place in England destined

A trial is about TO take place in England destined
TO be ranked with the most celebrated "causes" Of
modern times We aude to the measures which are
being adopted by the Jamaica Committee TO bring eX-
Gov. Eyreto the bar of his country to answer for
causing George VIM. Gordon and Others TO be illegally
put 10 death during the late reign Of terror in the
Island Of Jamaica. The verdict in this case will be of
immense Importance. Englishmen are wont to boast
tina, British law throws its protection equally around
all the subjects of the Empire, without regard to
creed color, or rank. The result of Eyre's trial will
show whether the life of the colored man is indeed
as sacred in the eyes of that law the life of him Of
the white skin. II will be that eminent counsel
have been engaged to conduct the prosecution of the

The Horid after asserting the wholesome truth that
1.-THE best thing the United States now have to do
with Mexico is TO have nothing to do with it,, takes
on" as follows:
For this we are mainly Indebted Mr. Seward who six
wears aeo tmo when the Radicals cNeng M their
efforts plunge this country into civil war successfully OPP
Robert NIcnne with Ocampo. BY this treaty the He
public OF Mexico was put under American protection with am
PIE guarantees both for IFS internal order and for The rights OF
engaged with ITS inhabitants Had
that treaty ratified y the Senate should have no
European intervention Mexico But Mr. seward IN con
junction with the fire OF the south Mr. Toomb and his
nicu defeated the McLane Ocampo treaty and threw open
the gates OF Mexico TO the European allies"
Assuming the correctness of The UOrlds state
ment we hold this country under very great oblga-
ton to Messrs. Seward, Toombs x Co., but mono at
all to Messrs. X. McLane and Ocampo. Had these
latter been able sx years ago. to involve US in such
business as the protection of Mexico, with
"ample guarantees both for its internal order and for
the rights of all foreigners engaged in commerce with
its inhabitants we should have fought the Rebels
with pinioned arms, and been far longer in subdung
them. if not ultimately defeated. American pro-
lection" for Mexico means an army of our citizens
encamped on her soil and paid cut of our treasury.
And We have had neither men nor money to spare for
such job throughout the last six years.
Is possible that this country is now to be fooled
into taking Louis NapoleonS hard bargain off his
hands, and refund him all its heavy cost Why not
pay couple of hundred millions for the Cholera or

TEE EMPRESS OF MEXICO.

The report received yesterday by the Atlantic Cable
that the Emperor Of Austria has ordered steamer to
sail at once from Trieste for Mexico cannot fail to be
generally understood as confrmatory of the rumors
prevalent concerning the insanity Of the Empress Of
Mexico We gave in our issue Of yesterday the ac-
counts of the French papers which seemed to leave
no doubt on this subject The failure Of all the plans
which the Empress hoped to carry out in Europe
seems TO have shattered her nervous system and &C.
eording TO the letters received in Paris from Rome
che became while in the latter city, raving maniac
Her brother the Count Of Flanders who intended to
meet her at Miramar was sent for from Rome to &C.
company her from that city to her old palace.
II would be premature to say whether this painful
event will in any way accelerate the departure Of
Macmillan from Mexico. II is curious coincidence
that Just at the time when the news Of the disease Of
the Empress reached Paris, dispatch was received
from Macmillan stating that everything in Mexico
was going on prosperously. The terrible effect which
the total failure Of the mission in Europe has had
upon the mind Of the Empress can, however, scarcely
fail 10 shake the confidence Of the Emperor in his
own cause and TO hasten the execution Of the design
Of leaving the country which he, In vain, tried to
regenerats against its WILL and TO return to his old
palace of Miramar. Few men In modern times
have had to pay more dearly for belief in The DOlt

INDIANAPOLIS Oct. 22.-The official vote Of oil bu!
eight counties gives the Union majority in the Stas
of Indiana at 1905. On the State ticket the other
counties have been reported unoffcislly and about
balance. Their official vote will not vary the result,
as above given fifty votes. Col Grover (Unionl, in
the Fourth District will contest the seat of Homsa
(Dem.) 1t is reported that Gen. Graham (Union) in
the Second District, will contest the seat OF M C.
Kerr (Dem.) In these Districts great frauds were
committed by importation from Kentucky. 1t is also
reported that Mr.. Purdoe Independently will contest
Mr. Orth's seat from the Eighth District. 1t Is said
that Mr.. Purdoe spent $4,000 to defeat orth.

1t has turned out just as We have said 1t would with
regard 10 the Canadian Confederation scheme. The
project "hangs fire." Lord Camarvon the present
British Colonial Minister declines TO commit himself
to the plans of the Confederaionists; and, to judge
frrn the tone Of the English press in dealing with the
subject the whole matter will have TO be RENTED 10
the people not Of Upper Canada only, but also of the
other provinces concerned, for reconsideration and
final decision by popular vote. The politicians, like
MCGEE, who are seeking TO establish sort Of hybrid
monarchy on our northern border are, therefore, so
far baked in their purposes. Not that the Derby
Ministry would be In the least unwilling to help them
in carrying ont their designs but there is at present
force of circumstances which Tory Cabinet are
compelled TO respect or, at least to treat with some
outward show Of Difference. Pending the settlement
Of the question the way the other it is to be
hoped the politicians will be able to preserve their
composure They need not fear annexation to the
United States just yet. When the fear is ripe Con-
federation or Confederation, it will drop by the
operation of q very simple law. Where there is
graytaton there must be a centripetal tendency.

gust ever, body else Here is aspecimen from its last

issue
"CoNGRrssIoS AI.-The Hon Thomas f. stewart has been
nominated BY Che Republicans tacng under The old regular
organization the Sixth District for Congress This Is an
excellent nomination IL every way h Stewart served In tho
State Assembly last Winter with ability independence an9
fidelity interests Of his constituents He has always acted
with the Republican and Union par and did not join the new
organization which foot IL this city by Committee
deriving It's pretended authority from the Syracuse Convention
We trust he will b. elected"
No, you don't trust any thing Of the kind !!
You know that this Stewart can't poll a thousand
votes in the distrct-cant possibly have sixth of
tho hitherto Republican vote. We presume he will
vote himself for the regular Tammany candidate, as
will most of the handful that pretend to support him.
He is member, we believe, Of the State Committee
appointed by the Convention that nominated the
Albany State ticket, headed BY John I. Hoffman.
He is of course hand and glove with the Hotmanites
and is running in their interest with intent to elect
their man to Congress The Republicans Of that
district will support CHARLES s. SPENCER for Con-
gress, and will elect him. Stewart is nowhere III the
race and well you know it

There are few ofthe Narragansett Indians remain

chise them they declare that they have no wish for

one is not without force:
