ceived their salaries in deprecated currency
shall be promptly paid by them2
Oongressmen have taken good care to raise
their own pay--as, indeed, pay in all branches
Of labor has been raised-and to make 1t pro-
portionate to the depreciation in the currency;
but never thought have they given to the
patient, laborious, useful Judges. Yet Con-
gressmen are not debarred from other lucra-
tive occupations, as the Judges are. II they
are lawyers, they may still practise their pro-
fession; but this is forbidden by law, and
very properly to the Judges AT the same
time, the salaries of the Judges, considering
their eminent talents and learning, are very
small. Many lawyer receives, in single
case, fees amounting to as much as the ag-
gregate sum of Judges salary for five years
Look at the learned, excellent old Grier, as
he could be seen one year ago, when his body
was too feeble to walk alone, tottering, sup
ported by man, to and from the court-his
mind still clear-and remember that he ad-
hered too long to his laborious duties on the
bench because, honest and poor, he had been
cheated out of half his honest salary. Look
at Nelson-we shall not look upon his like
again-after he has spent half century o fin
defatigable labor in nobly administering JUS
tice to others, shall this pitiful injustice be
done to him
But it is not alone by paying the judges in
a deprecated currency that their salaries
have been diminished and the Constitution
has been violated. Their salaries have been
further diminished by deducting from them
the odious income tax. Congress has no
power to tax the salaries of the judges. "The
power to tax, says Chief Justice Marshall,
'involves the power to destroy" And GER
tainly Congress can have no power to destroy
that which it has no constitutional power to
diminish.
We respectfully invite the attention of the
Committee on the Judiciary, both in the
Senate and the House of Representatives, to
the principles which we have stated. Mr..
Lawrence, of Ohio, is also an able man and a
sound lawyer; what has he to say on the sub
jectP And we should suppose that the sense
of justice which habitually prompts Senator
look into the matter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-The following dis
patch:was received in Washington direct from
Havana: The Gazette, the official organ of the
Government, published on the 9th inst. an i'm
portant proclamation of the Captain General,
Intended to define the present situation of the
island. The Captain General copgratulates
thesaeuntry upon. its actual prosperity. New
troops and reintorcements, although not need
ed. to suppress the instruction, have come
from Spain to fulfil its obligations towards
Cuba, and to protect the island against mur-
dtrefs and ROBBERS. He then refers to the
threats Of: homicide and incendarism made by
certain bands of men,. against which pr, eau
tions are now being taken in garrisoning plan
tations with troops and civil guaids to save
them from destruction. aMen-of war have also
been sent from Spain to Cuba with the intent
to cruise along her coasts and to prevent tn e
landing on the island IF fIlibus' eri1g expedi.
t'ods coming from outside The Captain Cen
eral says that there never before in the
island such state of affairs as could be con-
sidered a state of war. But now peace has
been SO fully re-established that there is no
place IN the island where the administration
of public affairs or the action of the civil
Courts is not entirely recognized.

Tns )'KAao6s CEREMONIES -Ihe eeteino,
MES attendant upon the reception of the .e.
mains OF the distinguished philantropist, Geo.
Peabody, and also those connected with their
departure from this city, will be grand and
impressive in character, and will reflect the
greatest credit upon the city and state. AS
soon as the fleet is signal'ed from the oDserva-
tory the telegraph will flash the news to all
parts of Maine and elsewhere, SO that there
will be annie time afforded for people all over
the State and country to witness the final GER
emopies. tits now calculated that forty EIGHT
bours will elapse from the time the vessels are
sipnalled until they leave the city.
On the day that the remains are taken to
Peabody for iHterment, it is intended that the
ceremonies will eclipse anything of the kind
ever witnes 'ed in this part of New England.
The City Hall, draped most appropriately in
mourning, with the grand catafalque support
ing the funeral casket, the guard of honor
standing like statues resting upon their re-
versed muskets in reverent attitude, the sepul-
chral gloom of the hall, broken only by tie
rays of light from the tail candles placed about
the catafalque, and a few gas lights in differ
ent parts OF the apartment, the solemn strains
OF music from the grand chorus, three hundred
strong, of the Haydn Society, and the accom-
paniment of the Germania and Portland
Bands, and, after the removal of the body from
the building, the grand procession to the de-
pot-will afford spectacle such is seen, in this
section of the country, rarely in a lifetime
Governor Chamberlain is expected TO be
here on the day the feet arrives and remain
until the conclusion of the ceremonies The
different committees are all working energetic
oally in the matter. The details of the proces-
sion are not yet all arranged. The steps at
which the landing will be made have been
put down, and, it is hoped, will be permitted
to remain as permanent landing place for
boats.
All the arrangements may be completely or
materially changed upon the arrival of the
fleet and after consultation with Mr. George

CAPTURE OF AN ESCAPED PRIsoNER.-At
the September Term of the Supreme Court
three fellows were convicted of horse stealing
and sentenced to the State Prison. On arrv-
ing at Rockland, on their way to the prison,
one OF them, Cyrus Bracket, of Sweden, slip
ped his shackles and escaped. The Warden of
the prison Immediately telegraphed Sheriff
Perry, who deputised ex-Deputy City Marshal
Wentworth to hunt up the convict.
Mr.. Wentworth Immediately went to the
house of the father OF Bracket in Sweden, but
the convict was not there. From some words
that dropped from the mother, Mr.. Wentworth
was led to proceed to Upton, at which place
he found that Bracket had been. From Up
ton Mr.. W. traced him to Burlington, VT, and
thence to Dunbar. On arriving at the latter
place he found that Bracket had left for the
woods on supply train, evidently with the in
tentiou of proceeding to Canada, and that he
was some twenty miles ahead. Taking fresh
horse Mr.. Wentworth pursued after the con-
vict aud arrested him in the woods. On Satur-
day he brought him to this city and placed him
in jail.
Bracket says that since his escape about
the LIST of October, he has travelled on foot by
night concealing himself during the day.
Mr.. Wentworth has been untiring in his pur.
suit of Bracket, who is supposed to be a noto-
rious horse thief He has been on his track
night and day and at last succeeded in arrest
ing him. 1t reflects no little credit upon him
as an accomplished detective, and good of.

TRIAL OF misunderstanding afternoon
comparative trial of one of the Steam Fire
Engines and Lowry bydrant took place in
front Of the new Custom House. Two lengths
of hose were attached to the hydrant, and a
horizontal distance ranging from 100 to 100 feet

SAD ACCIDENTAL the fire Saturday night,
Mr.. George L. Hayes the engineer of Cum
berland No. 3, had the misfortune to slip on
the ice while the steamer was working, and to
save himself from falling caught at the first
thing handy to save himself. He happened to
seize the slide of the engine and his fingers on
the left hand were cut off at the first joint the
thumb badly torn, and also injury done to the
palm of the hand. He was Immediately con-
veyed to the Office OF DR.. Tewksbury, who
dressed the wounds. and thence he was taken
home. Mr. Hayes was fine fellow, and his
many friends will regret this sad accident which
must necessarily for long time debar him
from the partial use of his hand. We were
glad to hear that he was doing as well as could
be expected yesterday
