POSTAL TELEGRAPH COMMIs

POSTAL TELEGRAPH COMNrIs.
sION.-This is a Washington spe-
cial to the st. Louis Globe:
Senator Ramsey expects to bring
up the Senate bill for "a postal tele-
graph commission 20 investigate the
cost of building, wire, running
them, ETC., some time during tho
coming week. This is a substitute
for the plan originally reported, and
is regarded as the most favorable to
the plan of the Postmaster General.
1t is believed that Congress will
agree to the commission. Mr.. Palmer
will, should this bill come to the
House, endeavor to secure his own
plan. His successor, Mr.. Ranser,
was formerly Assistant Postmaster
General, and in understood to favor
the government telegraph.

4 WONDERFUL CONVERSION.

We rejoice to see the Timer com.
ing to tho support 81 the Judiciary.
From having heaped the yilcst abuse
upon the Judge OF the United States
Court, from u systematic and per
sistcnt sneering at the Supreme
Court of the State, ana an "rralgll-
ment of the judges for being under
improper influences, it PUSHES fran.
tically to the defense Of the Judge
of the Fifth District Court, whose
tribunal has been selected by one
of the city lawyers i'll which to at
tack oollaterally the authority OF
the State government. We have
the authority of q higher JUDICIAL
tribunal than the Fifth District
Court for saving that the two houses
CONFUSING our General Assembly
are legally constituted bodies, and
that the decisions recently rendered
are binding upon the bench and the
bar.
OF course, it is not true, asalleged
by the Times, that the judge is
bound to permit the filing of any
petition that may be offered. The
clerk may receive documents, but
they are filed with the consent Of
the Judge. In practice, however,
the judge frequently gives his con
sent upon n brief statement OF the
contents of o petition without read
ing it, and we have reason 10 be-
lieve that Judge CullOm was unac-
quaintcd with the character of the
document filed by Mr.. Mari until
he saw it published i'll the papers.
We are content, however, to leave
the fate of the application to declare
the Legislature an illegal an usurp-
ing body to the discretion of the
judge, while we chronicle the fact
that the Times is opposed to abus-
ing judges who may have indepen-
dence enOuge to decide according
to the law and the evidence, with
out reference to the political inter
csas involved in the controversy.
This Is a conversion TO the right
which is as satisfactory as it is sud
den and unexpected.
