THE RECESS.
TUE SUPREME COURT DECISION

Nearly all the Congi essmen were away, and
hardly enough have yet returned to make
quorum
Daring the absence of the Legislative
branch, and the sileEcs of the Executive, the
Judicial has given cause for alarm by it's de-
cisions and has attracted the attention of ali
20 the question of escaping from any calamity
brought abous by the eoilusion Of the Judges
with the President. Rumors have long been
circulated of strange decisions they were
about TO make, but nothing very definite took
place till few days ego, when the case oi
Muilean came before them. They. in this
case, unanimously decided tina. the court
martial by which he was tried was not legal =;
and she majority, not content with this, went
farther and declared that neither Congress
nor the President has power to authorize any
court martial OF commission in spy Place
where there is civil tribunal. The Presi-
dent is understood to have assured the people
Of South Carolina that the proposed constitu-
tonal al1eadme will soon be declared un-
constitutional, by some means, ] suppose, IN
known to those not iully learned 10 the lntrl-
cacies of the Jaw, though, really. TO simple
mind . uuskilled in legal lore the proposi-
ton seems absurd. We can only hope that
the President did not speak from any knowl-
edge. but simply expressed his wish, thinking
ihat would be sufficient to secure such Gccs-
ion. Surely, the country may tremble when
the Judiciary, the only power approaching
absolutism, and from whose decision there is
no appeal, even to the people. becomes politi-
cal and venal. There have been several plans
proposed tor destroying this extreme power,
the most feasible OF which seem to be these
for repeating he laws bv which the body was
created. Or 81 much Of them give them
their dangerous power. Ii IS tain that
something mus: and Will be done. 1T the
storm can be allayej, and a union dangerou'
to liberty prevented 6y lmpeaching the Pres
dent, that will DO done il nos, measures
may be Instituted against the Supreme Court,
and a radical change III he structure of our
institutions be mad.

Ohio, is of the opinion that the trial, unles.
,,mpeted before March 4th, could not proceed
before the next Senate, while Mr.. Stevens of
Pennsylvania holds to the contrary opinion

passed over to the next Congress, in order both

OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXIco.-Mr. How
ard, of Michigan, offered in the Senate, last
week the following resolution
Resolred, That the Committee on Foreign
Relations be Instructed 10 inquire and report
the Senate the present relations between
France and the Republic of Mexico, the ex-
tent both with respect 10 the population and
territory, OF the successes of Macmillan in his
endeavors 10 overthrow that Republic, the

withdrawal OF the French troops from Mexican
soil, aud the probability, in of such with
drawal of Macmillan being able TO maintain
lis standing there, and that for the purpose Of
such inquiries the said committee be aul hor.Z.d
10 send for persons and papers.
The resolution was objected to by Senator
Sumner, and was not voted upon at the time,
but viii up for consideration this week
probably. We trust, when the resolution comes
up for fnaI action, it will be adopted, and the
facts 1t seeks be brought to light. The people
would be glad TO learn inst what the executive
department is doing in this Mexican business
and how ar it is com piicating our government,

NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want Of a Line Of Telegraph, located with
view TO accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns are now with
out any Geographic communication whatever, and
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes, hundreds of miles out of diree;
course, causing vexatiOus and unnecessary delays
to business, by reason of numerous repetitions
and the frequent Interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts are borne in mind that the
liability of a telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the proportion as its
length, and that the repetition of message dou-
bles the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages Of n direct
route over the circuitous ones now in operation
can readily he seen. -.f'"tr --

Proofs Of the Superior Quality
of the
American Watch
EEEsE = made at 3d. .t45tG
wALTHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Waltham,
Mass. respectfully submit that their Watches are
cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura-
BILE, and better adapted for general USE and more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They are simpler in
structure and therefore stronger, and less likely
to be injured than the majority of foreign watch
es which are composed of from l25 to 300 pieces,
while in an oldEnglish watch there are more than
700 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let
ter:

GESTLEMEN-The watches manufactured by
you have been in use this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom We furnish
watches as part of cur equipment There are
now some three hundred of them carried on our
line and we consider them good and reliable
time keepers. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saying your watches give us less trouble, and
| have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches we have ever had in use
on this road. As you are aware, We formerly
| trusted to those of English manufacture, of ac-
| knowledged good reputation; but as class they
| never keep time correctly, nor have they done
| as good service as yours

decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over series of years. Respectfully,
