CHANGING NAMES,

The Judiciary Committee Of the House
Ct Representatives has prepared a bill 70
furnish persons who have inconvenieI:
names with an easy and legal mode Of
changing them FOR others more n accord
ance with rythm and the capabilities @
PRONUNCIATION. Without attempting 20
accom-: for the manner ii which many
families have been afflicted with unpro-
nounceable or Undignified names. We al
are ready 20 conceGe the necessity Coz re-
LEI: Every day, seemingly, We encounter
pa:ronymics which nobody ever before
heard OF" and the supply seems atso-
.utely unlimited. Were the means af-
torded the people &c change their names
without unnecessary publicity or expense.
the inconvenience would soon disappear:
the evil would cure itself The bill of the
Judiciary Committee provides fer relic: by
propev application 20 q district court,
instead Of petit!oning the Legislature.
We hope the measure viii pass.

& WONDERFUL CONVERSION.

We rejoice 70 see the Tines coming 20
the support of the Judiciary. From hav'
ing heapcd the vilest abuse upon the Judge
Of the United States Court. from
systematic and persistent sneeilng &; the
Supreme Court OF the State, and an AZ"
raignmen. of the judges for being under
improper influences. it rushes trantlcally
20 the defense Of the judge Of the With
District Court, whose tribunal has been
selected by one of the city lawyers IN
which to attack collaterally the authority
of the State government. We have the
authority Of a higher judicial tribunal
than the Fifth District Court for saying
that the two houses composing our Cen
eral Assembly are legally constituted
bodies, and that the decisions recently
rendered are binding both upon the bench
and the bar.
OF course, il IS not true. IS alleged by
the Times, that the judge is bound to per-
NIT the filing Of any petition that may be
OuSEeus 4 lie CstEA l1dl -SCS4HE shOSO'
ments, but they are FLED with the consent
of the judge. In practice. however. the
Judge frequently gives his consent upon q
brief statement Of the contents Of petit
ton without reading il. and we have
reason 10 believe that Judge CUilom was
unacquainted with the character Of :he
document fled by Mr.. MARI unit! he saw
It published in the papers. We are con-
tent. however. to leave the fate OF the ap-
plica:;on 70 declare the Legislature an il
legal and usurping body 70 the discretion
Of the Judge. while We chronicle the fac;
tina. the Times is opposed 70 abusing
judges who may have independence
enough 20 decide according 20 the law
and the evidence. withou: reference 20 the
politica! interests involved il the contro'
versy. This is . conversion 20 the right
which is as satisfactory rs il is s.aaeI
and unexpected.

WHO ARE The PEOPLE!

After declaring tina. the colored people
constitute much the largest class Of popu-
,atior in Algiers. the Times proceeds 20
say that the men who yepresen: these
people have no interest in common with
the population Of the community in which
they live. This IS TO say that although
there may be four thousand negroes in
given locality and four hundred white
men in the same place, that the latter are
".he people, although the former earn
most Of the money that is made in the
community. II !Aigiers is settled upiy
negroes. the best thing the white people
can do is 70 make friends with their
neighbo1s. and thus come 20 an under
standing, one with the other, what is
les: 20 be done in the premises. We
have reason to believe :ha: where the
colored people are honestly dealt with
they generally return the same sort of
dealings TO those who are their neighbors.
But. really. the negroes are entitled 20 le
sailed "tAe people" Of Algiers.

DRAMATIC.


tina. an indefinite amount Of thlevlng IS
going on in his pantry. and that much OF
this robbery is being committed by some
of his domestics protesting the highest
degree Of fidelity. Uncle Sam, however,
is no respecter Of persons or professions.
He is on a regular rat hunt and will exter-
inmate the vermin if he has to upset every
piece of party furniture under which he
takes refuge. He has captured that wary
old rat Cakes Amos and unearthed
whole nest Of rodents who were sharing
his yepast The investigations in the
Louisiana case have brought up witness
of such unsophisticated innocence that he
is utterly unconscious what perjury is,
and commits himself TO the penalties OF
the law without the most distant suspicion
Of the danger he incnrs. Then there
comes the most dramatic incident Of the
day. Senator Pomery has been long known
rs one Of those intermediates between the
rings Of Wall street and the grants Of ma
tional land. Evidently he must have had
a desk in the Senate alongside Of Ames.
and these two brokers in representative
rascality must have done Q splendid bust
ness. This suprosit;on is based upon the
sums Of money which ne could afford 70
pay for votes in the Legislature 70 send
him back 70 the Senate.
