dorsed the views of his colleague, and Just
previous to the beginning of the present ses-
sion of Congress issued formal pronuncia-
mento in the shape of an editorial from which
we take the opening paragraph
,,We hope the House OF Representatives win
promptly prepare articles OF Impeachment against
the Supreme Court of the United states including
its whole bench Of Judges all and singular for dis
obedience TO the Civil Rights bill"
Those persons who have not attentively
studied the course of events during the reign
OF radicalism in the country laughed at this
suggestion as the raving of lunatio or the
blind fanaticism of political enthusiast But
there was O deal of method in the madness of
both Phillips and Tilton, as the result has
demonstrated. Senators Drake and Trumbull
have virtually anticipated any action which
the House of Representatives might have
been disposed to take in the matter, by intro
ducing bills whose avowed object and intent
are to fix permanent gag in the mouth of
the Supreme Court, and reduce the judicial
branch of the Government to dimensions so
utterly mean and insignificant that no lawyer
with an atom of ability or self-respeet will care
to occupy seat upon the bench should these
bills become laws I..
We have already commented sufficiently on
the principles involved in the measures intro
duced by the Senator from Missouri and the
Senator from Illinois, and our only desire at
this time is to show their constituents and
the country at large that neither Trumbull
nor Drake can rightfully lay claim to any
originality in the proposed iniquity. They
are preparing to bdtcher the Supreme Court
and bury the mutilated corpse out of sight,
simply because the Jacobin cabal led by
Phillips and Tilton have declared that it must
be done. There is no objection, that we are
aware of, to these distinguished Senators
wearing their secondhand honors as grace
fully as possible under the circumstances

THE NEW SUPREME COURT JUDGE.
Front the NJ Y. World
In accordance with general expectation, the
President has nominated Attorney-General
Hoar to fill the vacancy on the bench OF the
Supreme Court caused by the death OF JUS
tice Wayne, of Georgia. This appointment
serves several purposes besides supplying
new judge to that tribunal. Ii releyes the
President of a rather unpopular Cabinet
officer whom he could not very well dismiss
considering the circumstances OF his
appointment 1t enables him to rec
tify the geographical unfairness of
two members of the Cabinet from the small
State of Massachusetts,, which has also the
most important of the great foreign missions.
1t is means of counting the favor of Con-
gress by the marked indignity to the Southern
States which is implied in sending a carpet
bagger to take the place OF deceased South
ern Judge. There is as great geographical
unfitness in appointing Mr.. Hoar to succeed
Judge Wayne, as there was in giving three of
the most important offices under the Govern
ment to one small New England State.
In point of personal qualifications this ap-
pointment is respectable but not imposing.
A State which, in former days, gave Story
and Curtis to that bench, ought to be able
to supply greater jurist than Mr.. Hoar if it
has such superabundanee of that kind of
ability that it may claim to furnish Supreme
Court judges not only for New England but
for the Southern States. Mr.. Hoar is reputed
to be an able lawyer; but his experience has
been mostly confined to the State courts, and
his short service as Attorney General cannot
have made him very familiar with the Federal
jurisprudence. But the knowledge which he
lacks he has an undoubted capacity to acquire,
and after an apprenticeship more or less
brief, he will probably make a useful Judge
A lawyer of trained legal perceptions and
considerable judicial experience can acquire
that kind of knowledge very rapidly.
The zeal which Mr.. Hoar has recently ex-
hibited in pushing Senator Trumbull's bill
for curtailing the authority of the Supreme
Court is not calculated to make favorable
impression; although it may have been
shrewd stroke of policy for forwarding his
own interests. The Senate will perhaps &C
cept it as a guarantee that Judge Hoar's resi-
dence in Southern circuit will not abate his
staunch radicalism. When Congress sees
such men going upon the bench it may be
willing to increase the salaries of the Judges
which it would be very slow to do in favor of
such men as have hither composed a majority
of the Supreme Court. Mr.. Hoar may not be
a very eminent jurist; but he is evidently
man ''wise in his own generation" He did
a shrewd thing when he presented General
Grant with q library; and he has perhaps
been equally polite in abetting the hostility
of Congress to the old judges of the Supreme
Court ..

CHINESE INDEPENDENCE.

From, the N. Y Tribune.
The false despatch published some time
ago, that the Chinese Government had re-
iected the Burlingame treaty with this coun-
try, seems not only to have hastened the rati-
fication of that treaty, but to have led Prince
Kung to take prompt action upon the treaties
negotiated with other Governments by Mr..
Burlingame. The cable telegram announcing
the ratification of the American treaty at
Pelin has been quickly followed by another
telegram announcing the ratification of the
treaty with England. AS the same principle
is embodied in each of the other treaties ne
gotiated by the Chinese Embassy, there is
not the slightest doubt that they will all be
duly ratified as they are received at Pekin.
Though Mr.. Burlingame's mission was in
some respects difficult it was exceedingly
simple. 1t was merely to secure the estab
ishment of the principle that the Govern
ments of Europe and America would deal with
the Chinese Government as they are in the
habit of dealing with each other. China did
not ask any special privileges, or seek to be
released from any of the obligations or re-
sponsibilities of international law. She merely
sought to obtain the ordinary rights of nations,
and if she was to be held liable for public
obligations she also claimed the privileges of
public Justice. To those unfamiliar with
events in China during the last half century,
it may not seem much that Mr.. Bur-
lingame has accomplished in securing the
recognition of the Pekin authorities
as the power through whom all ne
gotiations must be conducted, and to
whom all appeals must be made; but it is
in reality nothing less than the securing of
those few inherent rights belonging to all in
dependent nations, and without which the
claim of independence is a farce. There was,
of course, no difficulty in securing this recog-
milton from the American Government, which
had neither relations nor interests in China
antagonistic with justice, and, consequently,
as soon as Mr. Burlingame had drawn up his
treaty here it was ratified by the Senate and
signed by the President But he had very
formidable opposition to encounter in Eng
land, and he had serious difficulties to over
come in France; and the remarkable success
he has met with in these and other countries
shows that they have received from that most
intelligent and distinguished of Chinese states
men, Prince Kung.
BY the ratification of these treaties China
| is for the first time admitted into the family
| of nations as sovereign power, equal in
rights, privileges, obligations, and response
| bilities with all the others. By these treaties
the Governments of the world have for the
first time recognized the Independence Of OaS1cG
and given her guarantee for the mainte
nance of her independence such as she has
| never heretofore possessed.

THE BRAIN FURNIsHERs.
/. Louis Republican


Wendell Phillips is the Robespierre and
Theodore Tilton the Camille Desmoulins of
our Radical revolution, and when the Radical
party reaches point where further advance
toward consolidated despotism is necessary,
the bugle note is sounded first by Phillips,
and then promptly re-echoed by Tilton. Not
withstanding the fact that the more conserva-
tive members and journals of this party are
continually repudiating all connection with
these two worthless, and insisting that they
represent no one but themselves, yet
orders emanating from the An6-Slaoery
StGnddr9, or the New York Independent, are
always obeyed implicitly, proving beyond
doubt that ''the power behind the throne is
greater than the throne itself" Every one
knows that for years before the war, as well
as ever since its termination, Phillips has
been bombarding the Supreme Court with
rhetorical hot-shot, and insisting upon its
entire annihilation, or at least upon such an
abridgment of its powers as shall reduce it to
a practical nullity. Tilton has steadily in

delphia career, had known him so we'll and all
his friends who knew him in life and many
who, knowing him only through his works.
loved him almost as well, crowded around the
bier to pay their last tribute of respect to his
memory.
1t is rare that man leaves us without sue
cesser appearing to take his place, but the void
which Mr.. Bache leaves in the general scientific
strength of the country has not yet been filed.
