Underwood and the Virgibia
Judiciary--1 Radical Defautter.

The Baltimore Gdsette's Washington cor
respondent, in his dispatch Of the 26th inst. :,
says;
The present judiciary Of Virginia have
unfortunately rendered themselves exceed
| ingly obnoxious TO bis honor Judge Unier-
wood, Of the United States Distsict Court.
1t appears that Judge Thomas rendered a
a decision adverse TO the interests of some
of Judge Underwood's railroad friends.
which decision was subsequently confirmed
by the Court Of Appeals, and a mandate Is
Issued to carry the decision Of judge Thomas
! into effect.
This was highly Objectionable to Judgs
Underwood, who arrested the proceedings
and set aside tho mandate. Not satisfied
with thus nuilifying the proceedings Of the
State courts, Judge Underwood appea o to
Secretary Schofeld, on Monday LAST, TO
dismiss all the judges of The Sa Q, and es-
tablish new Judiciary more in harm ony
with the views of tho Federal judge. Gen.
Schofeld heard the proposition patiently,
but he appreciated the modesty Of the de-
mand more than he did the reasons on which
it was based, The result was, he respect
fully declined removing the Virg MIA Judges.
1t will DO remembered that the ate Radi-
c Al collector at Norfolk, Va, was removed
from Office in consequence OF the su p ciol
that he was not as honest as he migut be,
and Col. William Seldep, late marshal OF
the district, was appointed in his place.
Col. Selden having taken possession Of the
office set abont making thorough exami-
nation as to its financial condition, aud he
now reports 10 Secretary Mccullough that
his examinations thus far havs discl ,sed
frauds TO the amount Of S260,0O0, AID 10
what extent they may reach he Is as present
unable 70 say.
