DissOsH3iO:a.O of the Cabinet.

"Our special dispatches from Wash
ton state that Secretaries Stanton, I1ar-
lail, Speed aud Dennison have all ten
dcrcd their designations, and that thcs
were promptly accepted by tho Frcsi-
dent. We presume that tho statement
is correct, We certainly hope that it
is. Tho only pity is that the President
did not dismiss those gentlemen upon
his accession to office. Not only might
the country then have been spared the
infamy with which military commits
sions and military murders have COW
cred it, but the South might have been
restored to the Union long ago, and
the dangers which now threaten OUR
republican institutions might never
have grown alarming. The country

Court OF Common Pleas and
Gcnrr:ls Sessions.

We had hoped to have been furnish
ed with copy Of Judge ALpErcn'a ad-
dress to the Court and charge to the
Grand Jury, but havo been disappoint-
ed, and we must be content with 1cffer-
ring to one OF two special points, made
to the best of our recollection.
'!5hc Judge referred to the court held
in Charleston, and said at is conclu-
sion, after tho sentences were passed,
he was ordered. before the commander
and ordered to revoke the sentences
passed upon tho criminals this he said
he had no power to do, but would con-
sent not to hold Co;rr aSain until civil
law was establishcl-tEis being his
reason fo- not holding tho Courts Un
his circuit Il. tho time and place ap-
Doiatcd lie said that he had learned
through tie papers that his course was
not approved by the members Of The
bar a;rl citizens gcaerally-hc, how
cvc-, acted from conviction hat he was
right for he had all his life adopted
the maxim of that eminent iurist, Lord
ELpoS, always to Ito without fear what
his conscience approved as right; and
willie ho differed from the members Of
tho bar and his fcllow-cit;z.ns, ho
thought it right and proper they should
express. their convictions Us to his
Course.
lLo then called the attention Of the
Grand Jury 70 the Stay L;tw--suid upon
tho vote taken before full bench Of
Judges Oh the Legality Of that law, he
stood n'0ar, and thought, iif not r-
gal, it was wise at this Gmc, and
hoped the people would bear with each
other-if not, that one suit would lead
10 another, and moro would be injured
than would receive benefit.
lie said the Jury should look closely
into the conduct Of the magistracy, and
# they found any who were granting
writs AMI warrants upon every frivo-
lous prctcnco, to return them; also to
scrutinizo closely tho several Boards OF
Commissioners, and if necessary send
for any Or all of them with their books
and papers, and if satisfied there was
any cause ue complaint to present them.
Especially to report any neglect in hav-
ing the roads kept in order, and to re-
port any other matters worthy Of pre-
scniation, and that whatever report OF
recommendations they should make,
he would, through tho Solicitor, SEQ
they were carried out.
The above hastily-written sketch Of
his charge is the best we can present
to our readers this weok-may be On
abled to give it in full in tho next
issue.

The Senate Of the United States
have, by Il decisive vote Of twenty-threo
to seventeen, postponed the further con-
sideration Of tho Tariff bill until next
December. If they had postponed it
until the Greek Kalends the country
would have been oven better pleased.
Meantime let us hope that the public
sentiment upon this obnoxious measure
will manifest itself in such way as to
ove7awe the reckless and corrupt legis-
lators who are cndeavoring to force it
upon tho country, and compel them to
abandon it altogether.
