And immigrants, also, arc eagerly looking,
not for a disturbed and oppressed section, but
Tor country OF peace and safety, where labor
Is we'll paid and employment certain. The
large body of reputable foreigners who come to
America, are inspired to leave their native soil
and all the endearing memories OF home by
the hope of escaping those very evils under
which the subjugated South is groaoing. 1t
is no matter to them that her fields are fertile,
her air salubrious and balmy, her soil enrich
ed with the precious metals, and all her natural
advantages unsurpassed; they may have al

lands behind them. They are seeking a refuge

Chief Justice Cartier, of the District OF &C.
lumbia Court, is reported by the Washington
Express to be greatly ''outraged" at the alln-
sions to the Surratt trial, made in some Of the
newspapers, and as saying: :.. ... ....
This attempt to take cases out OF the courts
and try them In the irresponsible forum OF the
newspapers should be discountenanced, and
the Court intimated that it the matter con-
tinue1 it would not permit lts advel tlsemeDts
to be inserted in aOy paper which thus under
took to obstruct the operations OF public JUS
tice.
The Express exonerates itself from any rnr
ton or share of blame, in what is denounced
By Judge Cartier, but asks, how "the verdict
can be influenced by newspaper articles OF a
jury which is not permitted to see any news
paper at all; and it very Significantly adds
"We are. however, most happy to see that the
Chief Justice is growing sensitive abont the
proper administration Of Justice 1t is, it,
deed, favorable symptom. The courts of
this District sioce his accession to the bench
have not been famous for their observance of
the proprietes of courts OF justice. We hail
with satisfaction any indication of improve
ment 1t might have added that the threat
of the Judge about advertisements, &c,
was very weak, unmanly, and nndignifed in
dicial "pronunciamento, and the usual and
ridiculous resort of peculiar personages i'll pow
er, who don't get the press exactly to agree
with all that they think is right, OF hope to
punish people for having and expressing opin-
ions of their own But, in saying this, We do
not mean to say, that We approve, while trial
is going On, Of unfair interference by the news
papers, or attacks upon judges or jurors, or at
:empts to bias, or insult them We think We
have recollection of newspaper that took a
ease 'out of court ana cansured and con
damned the decision Of an associate iudge OF
Judge Carriers Court, not very long ago, who
vas never threatened with the loss Of ''adver.

The Philadelphia Press in all article advis
ng Mr. Staunton not to resign, says: 1--WE
do not betray confidence when we say thai
on more than one occasion the country ha:
been indebted to Edwin NJ Stanton for the
timely note OF warning that enabled the rep
resentatives Of the people to meet and dtlea
the dangerous schemes OF 4 recreant Presl

with the appreciation of Mr.. Stanton? Can
it Be possible, that he is willing TO be re
garded as remaining in the Cabinet a con
fidential friend Of the President, his adviser
and member of his administration, in
actually, the capacity OF Spy, to retail tt
the Presidents political enemies what is
said and done, by the Executive in Cabinet
council? We cannot believe it possible. -
The Philadelphia Press must be doing MIR
g. injustice, or it did not weigh the FIJI
purports of its assertion.
The Washington correspondent Of the Raltl

the President has power, under the the frs
section of the tenure Of Office law, to remove
Mr.. Stanton also, under the second section t,
suspend him, by notifying him Of the fact ant
submitting reasons therefor to the Senate q

expects to take action upon the matter iume

sit is not true that Gen. Grant and the friend
of the administration have advised the Presi
