CORRUPT JUDGES AT A PREMIUM.
Congress has at length settled a
very important question. Letters Of
impeachment were pending in that
body against four United States Judges
charging them with being guilty of
high crimes and misdemeanors. OF
their guilt there is no doubt. But the
four scoundrels resigned during the
Congressional vocation, and when their
cases came up for consideration, their
Goddess associates in that body, on
Thursday last, moved TO Quash the
proceedings, and actually succeeded in
having all the papers laid on the table,
thus in effect clearing them, because
they had all resigned their places on
the Bench and the President had ac-
cepted their resignation This last
move is a bid and premium offered
to every young Judge to lie, rob and
steal, and i caught, resigni A pretty
state Of political morals, indeed =
Where are we driftingY If the Bench
and the Bar can deport themselves in
this manner, why vcx highwayman
with legal process or burthen the tax
payers with giving him trial and
sending him to the penitentiary.
If Schuyler Colfax and Vice Presi.
dent Wilson, and those other absent
christian Statesmen" do not return
to Washington soon and reopen the
Congressional prayermsetisg, the devil
will take control Of all the Depart
ments at the National Capital-unlcss

THE BESTrlfpTION BfLL.

The Radical leaders seem 10 under
stand finances no better than they do
reconstruction, and ON Friday last
demonstrated their folly by passing an
act through Congress looking to the
resumption of specie payment The
bill is twin OF the celebrated recon-
struction bill, and will prove equally
as abortive In bringing about the re-
suit aimed at
By the same tatics which prevailed
in the Senate, Shernan's finance bill
was rushed through the house, with
out debate, under the call of the pre-
vious question. Possibly this course
may be warranted by party necessity
and considered preferable to an open
split and breakdown. But it is con.
fession of weakness almost as bitter as
death. No matter within the scope OF
legislation requires more careful con
sideiation than an attempt 10 regulate
the currency of u civilized country
1t is problematio field of investiga-
tion and inquiry, besct with contin-
gencics to be considered and provided
for, which demands the exercise of the
most intelligent provision. The inter
ests to be affected are commensurate
with the growth and wealth Of the
whole country and the well being ol
every citizens of tho country. Yet q
bill of this Importance is pressed to a
vote, in profcsscdly deliberativc body
without debate, and without any pos
sible consideration OF any kind unit
it was suddenly sprung upon the atten
ton of the Senate and as rapidly flung
unconsidcred into the House. Repre-
sentative government has reached {
sad state of decline when nationa
measures Of this kind are arbitrarily
, disposed of in party caucus, and the
, rights of sovereign states made tn,
sport of presidential caprice.
The bill in substance is about this
The leading features of the bill are
First. Free banking Second. The re

equal to eighty per cent. of the new

required to pay ten cents to enable them
to vote, while the opulent and wealthy
pay from one to two dollars. This |.
