BUSTED, the immaculate Federal
Judge Of Alabama, has administered
on the Selma and Meridian railroad.
Sam Tate has been removed from his
position as receiver and manager, and
one Hardy, a boon companion of the
illustrious Dick Busted, substituted.
There are wailings and lamentations
among stockholders, but honest Dick
is memorable. Cotton stealing has be-
come impracticable, and railways and
charters and franchises are the only
subjects of confiscation on which adj
venturers can rely as %sourcesof wealth.
Let the thieves get hold of a railroad,
or a charter for a road, and then the
cash must come down, or the people
are deprived of the one, and never
suffered to build the other.

IN the Court of Nisi Prius, counsel

for an injunction to restrain the Col

agents from levying and collecting

the sum of $50, 26S ~, declared divi-

and necessary repairs of the road, the
ground taken beihf that the tax does
not lie against incomes paid, or pay
able, after the 3lst of December, 1869.
The preliminary Injunction was grant
ed for five days, at the end of which
time the question is to be argued.
Some ten or twelve leading railroads
in Pennsylvania have refused to pay
taxes as above, and await the action
of the court.

Q On the subject of the rehearing of
the legal tender case before the Su-

On the subject of the rehearing OF
the legal tender case before the Su-
preme Court, the New York HorId
makes the following comment:
President Grant had packed the bench
to humiliate Chief Justice Chase and the
majority who %concurred with him and the
Attorney General made his motion in pur-
suance OF the wishes OF the President.
But there can be no suit without parties:
and the appellants have come to The con
clusion that their clients have no sUfi-
cient interest to justify the expense Of a
new argument. Instead of h0miliating
Chief Justice Chase, President Grant has
made himself %ridiculousi almost as ridic-
ulous as when, in ignorance of the
rotary of the Treasury, and, on discover
ing his blundor, made an unsuccessful
application to Congress TO have the law
changed to accommodate his mistake.
There is a striking resemblance between
the attempted methods of extrieation in
these two blunders. It was proposed
that Mr.. Stewart should qualify himself
by making a transfer of his business: and
in accordance with a similar idea il has
been announced that the new Judges
Bradley and Strong would qualify them
selves to sit in the legal-tender cases. bv
dispOsing of their stock in the great cor
p%OratiOns whose interests would be af-
fected by the decision. In Mr.. Stewards
case this might have been well enough if
he had chosen TO make the sacrifice, but
il is an affrOnt to the dignity of the SUI
preme Court to pack it with Judges who
are morally disqualified, and then expect
them 20 evade the disability by a chica-
nihk subterfuge. The most probable ex-
nlanaffan that ,aorr-g 10 -. - 3 IL. -.al--
and unexpected termination of the pro-
ceedings yesterday, is that Judges Strong
and Bradley have become sensible of the
degradation of their position, and have in
way limited their willingness to get
out Of the scrape. II they could not sit
in these oases-as they clearly ought not
further proceedings would be idle; if they
had sat, and had qualified themselves by
a tricky dodge, they would have forfeited
their dignity and have brought the adju-

CONGRESSMAN BROOKS, of New
York, in closing his speech on the
tariff, a few days ago, said that if no
one else could be found TO undertake
thetask, she would mount a peddler's
wagon and go through the agricultu-
raj districts, exhibiting a hoe, a pillow,
an ak, a shovel, a trace chain, a knife
and fork, with other articles, and
demonstrate TO the eyes Of the people
the unjust, the enormous, the wicked
taxation that is imposed upon them
by existing tariffs" This would be a
very effective mode of electioneering.

1T was the exclamation of some one
in the large crowd Of lockers on

sion of yesterday passed-''there is
not a single United States flag in the

had a stupidity and malice in it alb

knowledge. Was this the first fune-

out a national flag? Are sorrowing

IF we are to Judge by what they
say, some Of our contemporaries have
most rare and extraordinary merit in
supporting party nominations. There
are two ways Of supporting party.
One is to support all nominations
blind, and crack the party whip over
all that, even from anxiety to obtain
the best officers, show the least sign
Of independence. The other is, by
prudence of management, discreet Sc
lectiOns Of candidates, and the use of
such arguments in their behalf as will
be likely to convince others, to win
and lead voters by the appliances Of
reason. He may be a good orderly
sergeant who knows how to punch
men into line, but he is a poor politi-
cal general who forgets that the peo-
pie are more easily led than driven.

1T is stated that the Government OF
the United States is unwilling to al
low the British Government to send
troops through any portion of the ter
ritOry of this country to put down the
Winnepeg revolution. The New York
San thus states the real issue:
What the British authorities want is
that the steamer which are TO TRANSPORT
the expedition across Lake Superior NAV
be allowed TO pass through the canal of
the Sault st. Marie. That canal is in the
State of Michigan and belongs exclusive
lY TO us. If these steamers are allowed
10 pass it, a formidable obstable will be
removed out of the way of the British
Government. 1t will save to the expedi-
ton about five hundred miles marching
in the desert rocky country on the north
shore of Lake Superior. The steamers
Will bring their men to the bound
airy line and disembark them. The
men will then march the few miles
distance around the strait: and
when the steamers have got through the
canal and are in British waters again. thew
will take them on board and proceed 10
Fort William, on Thunder Bay, where the
march to Winnipeg will begin. But II
our Government refuses to allow these
steamers to pass the canal. the march will
have to begin near the Sault st. Marie.
and from there to Fort William. over,
land, will be a march of five hundred
miles, and the toughest kind of a march
at that.
Our readers will thus see that what the
British desire is not TO send their troops
across American soil, but simply the
steamers that are to carry them. And the
important question is whether the people
that built the Alabama will be helped in
their campaign against the republicans of
OF Winnipeg by The cooperation of the
Government of the United States. on
this subject the country would like to

H. E. HUDSON, the present Judge
of the Criminal Court, announces HIM
self as a candidate for reelection. We
suppose he is as good a selection as
the Radicals have to offer US as a party
candidate against the popular peoples
candidate Flippin. He has made a
reputation for himself by hanging,
drawing and quartering as many as
possible, in order, as was pretended,
that the law should be inexorably ex-
ecuted and crime suppressed. Wheth-
er he has overstepped the more merci-
full law which says it were better that
ninety and nine guilty persons should
escape than that one innocent man
should suffer, we IN not certain. We
want no man on the bench that leans
either to the accused or to the State.
If convictions were not had before
Judge Hudson went on the bench, it
was not because his predecessors leaned
to the accused. The good Judge is the
impartial umpire between the accused
and the State, and an extraordinary
reputation for convictions or acquit-
tails does not go far to establish such a
reputation.
