PoLIrIcAL JuDGEs.-In two impor-
tant decisions which have recently
been pronounced by tho Supreme
Court of tho United States, the fact
has been painfully apparent that ror-
tion of the mombcrs ofthat august
tribunal arc controlled by political
considerations rather than by sense
of Justice.
Prior to his elevation to tho higl.
Office which lie now holds, Chief JUS
tico Chase was tho most radical aud
partisan in tho Northern
States. Some of his predecessors OH
the bench were equally violent as
politicians before they were clothed
with tho orminc, but speedily became
conservative, and administered jus
ticc with strict impartiality.< This,
however, is not tho casc with Judge
Chase, who, upon every question of
Importance, seems able to cnlistn
formidable minority oftho Court upon
tho side Of tho Radical party. Look
ing to this condition OF things, und
the age of tho several members of tho
Court, We cannot expect that body TO
bc very Tonga brcaR-watcr against tho
violence OF our onemics.--R'chnlond
