IL Is matter Of surprise that so simple and
proper thing as q resolution OF inquiry as to
what amounts have been paid by the Govern.
ment to certain railroad companies for the
transpol tation of troops and freight finds such
opposition IN the Senate as TO lsy it over under
The rules. Ore would suppose il there had
been nothing wrong in the premises those in
terested would be willing and anxious to have
all reasonable inquiries on the subject ans wered
as promptly and fully as possible; and one
would think that If there anything wrong
the public had right to know it. 1t is night
that Congress should ascertain how much
money II takes TO build a certain fort, vessel,
or public building, or what IL costs to print the
various Government issues, or how much the
support Of any particular branch of the public
service takes from the pockets of the tax
payers, but the question what Government
had 10 pay for carrying a soldier or a ton Of
freight for a given distance becomes at once an
attack on the vested rights of some person or
company, and objections spring up in plenty.

Referring to the battle the Chicago papers
are wsging against the heartless treatment OF
children in the public schools, the woman's
rights paper, the Revolution says:
When women control our schools, assume
their proper position as trustees aud superin-
tendents. such barbarous customs as these will
no longer obtain
But II 50 happens that in large proportion
OF the cases where the courts have had to take
ccgnizance of charges Of unmerciful punish

been females How Is this, Mrs. stanton

A correspondent who does not seem TO be
appalled, by the number or the conflicting ma
tuIe of the financial remedies proposed, offers
II plan which is not exhaustive as Morton :,
or novel as Buffers, but which has the
merit Of simplicity at least: Let Congress"
he sayr, ''enaet law whereby greenbacks nav
be redeemed-at the option of the holder
during the year l769, al 100; during the year
$50 Al IL, and so on for ten years, 50 that at
The expiration OF that time a specie basis will
be reached, and this without any disturbance
10 our commercial or mercantile interests Such
a law would efectually pre- vent gold gambling
and the evils attendant thereon, give our paper
money fixed and certain value, and i'm part
degree Of confidence to the public mind that
would make investments in our public securi-
ties the best in the world"

COMMODORE MRADB.-We learn through pri.
vate channels that Commodore Meade, whose
name was unhappily prominent a short time
since in relation to some family troubles has
suffered a stroke OF paralysis, and tina. his
family has been sent for In haste, with the
gravest anhcipations. While this event will be
much regretted by the friends of the family, it
will effect much in explaining the cause Of
those events that lately distressed his friends.
He has unquestionably been sufsring from
mental malady for some time, and its insldious
progress now shows conclus vely in this man.

A Grand Jury Presenting
the Court and Bar as a
Nuisance.


The Grand Jury Of Usage coun-
ty, North Carolina, according to
the Raleigh Sentinel, fRad.) has
recently made presentment some
what unusual in character. We
copy:
The Grand Jury regret to see
the present judiciary SO utterly
unmindful of the example of
their illustriCus predecessors, and
especially, in these days of politi-
cal chaos and social upheaving, to
see the bench descending 10 the
hastings, bandying vituperation
and personal abuse with the bar
and with pothouse politicians
each the assailant and in turn as
sailed; the bench charging the bar
with larceny, forgery and mule
stealing; the bar retorting that the
bench had been ca 8aed by a ne
gro upon a debt justly due, and
forced by this harsh process OF the
law to pay the money after being
bailed out and forfeiting the bail.
The bar also charging that the
bench was a jail-bird and convict
from the penitentiary of Ohio
All this very naturally ending in
a fight between the bench and a
member of the bar, as the former
journeyed on his way to Court.
This breach of the peace between
the bench and the bar occurring
on the train and in the ladies' car,
and SO much to their terror and
alarm that the conductor threat
ened to put the bench and bar off
the train, Notwithstanding the bar
loudly proclaimed himself d.
rector of the road.
These things are we'll calcula-
ted to bring both the bench and
the bar into disrepute and to de-
grade them in the estimation of
the people. The bar should be
the seat of all that is knightly,
chivalrous and true; the bench
the abode of justice, dignity, in
tegrity and calm elaboration; both
should be above suspicion.
Let the fountains of justice be
poisoned, and the waters that flow
therefrom will be bitter as the
waters Of Marah to all who drink
of the poisoned stream.
The Grand Jury do present each
and every one of the judges who
have taken open and active part
on the hastings, to-wit: Chief
Justice Pearson, and his associates,
Justices Reade, Dick, Settle and
Rodeman; and the Circuit Court
Judges, to-wit: Judges Could,
Jones, Watts, Henry, Russell,
Pool, Thomas, Logan, Cannon,
and yoasr Honor, as guilty of con-
duct unbecoming the Judiciary
always saving and excepting
Judge Mitchell; and instead of
presenting, they thank and COM
mend him for his political silence
and noble bearing as a just and
upright Judge.
And the Grand Jury do unani-
mously and respectfully ask of
your Honor that, as a part of the
history of the times, and that
posterity and the Judges may
know what this Grand Jury think
of political Judges, this paper
writing be spread in full upon the
minutes of the Court.

A stranger rode up to the store
of merchant in Providence, on
Saturday, and asked for loan of
so, which he obtained on condi-
ton of leaving his team as securi-

from Pawtucket appeared on Sun
day, and took possession of them
as his property. The merchant is
S10out. 1t was pretty sharp
