CORRUPTION.

The miserable fall Of Belkaap following 50
soon upon the trial of Babcock, upon charges
which. if proved, would have consigned him
TO the Pepitentiary-and 80 closely upon the
gravecharges preferred ag ainst the American
Minister at the Court of st. James, has startled
and shocked the whole country.
It would seem that the very atmosphere
surrounding the White Hodse has corrupt
ing influence, and chat vice Of the most
glazing and &epulsive chsracte1 pervaded
every class and ciycle of Washington City.
The spectacle presented by this country%o
She countries Of Europe is not calculated to
heiehten theft opinion of afepublican form
Of government. and We fear the corruption
thus exposed is NOT only confined to the chief
officers Of departmental. but has its sami.
ncations through all grades Of Official position
down to the lowest subaltern.
The blame for these shameful ana humili-
ating exhibitions must rest upon the domi.
nant party, and largely upon the President
himself, who. in ell his appointments, has
evinced the most profound disregard Of pub
instances outraged even decency itself.
He has placed men of known and notorious
bad character in the most important and Re.
sponsible positions, and has not only
ds6ei public opinion, but has openly
and shamelessly protected them from
trouble whenever an outraged com.
munity has protested and exhibited the
most irrefutable proofs Of fraud, incompetency
and corruption. Surrounded by such bold,
bad nispas Bibcock, Bslknap, Williams, Mr.
ton, Robson. Boutwell,, Sheppard, and host
of lesser lights, he has not hesit.tel to follow
the bent of his own wicked inclinations, and
to commit acts which have not only been m
warrantable and grossly illegal, but absolutely
criminal
Granted absolute immunity for his most
outrageous and inexcusable acts. he has gone
on from bad to worse, until he has made the
United States Government . synonym for
corruption. He has debased the morals o.

Warrington that all the evidence give6 before
the Judiciary Committee Of the House is "a

The brazen efffontery which characterize
these official criminals in 80 impuden,ly and
psrsistently denying in toto all chssges, how
ever we'll proven, brought against them and

that whom the time for trial comes they,
through their attorneys, make every possible

which before that they had demanded should

given him to do so he fought inch by inch the

A very important invention has been made
BY Lieutenant Makaroff, of the Russian Navy,
which is intended to prevent the sinking Of
ships In cases Of collision or other damage.
Il consists of mats, which can b. effsctually
applied Immediately after the occurrence Of a
lax. These mats are practically indestruct-
ibls when exposed to the ragged edge of iron
plates, however large the aperture or severe
the pressure Of water. They are perfectly
vster.dght and continued submersion only
tends 70 strengthen their qualities. The Rus
siaa navy is nov supplied with them, and
several ships have been raised through their
agency. Russia is the most enterprising
naval power in the world. and in thus adopt
ing an invention which must be regarded as
. boon indeed to the entire marine, naval and
merchant, she adds another example to the
many which she has recently given If her far
seeing and sensible policy II these mats
possess the qualifications which are claimed
for them. they will find place in every YES

The Comfy Judges.

we hope the Legislature will pass oi'
increasing the pay of the county Judges
Their compensation is ridiculously small
ii is very improper device to degrade the
courts in this manner. Compensation
stamps the grade of service. And in no re-
lation to the people is it more important
that public service should bear the stamp OF
dignity and the degree Of competency than
in that OF the judge.
The plan adopted by the friends Of the
county courts OF affecting small addition
to the compensation of judges by county
levy is, We suppose, the best that could be
yesorted to, it being doubtful whether bill
paying the proposed Increase ofcompensation
out Of the State Treasury could pass. The
small addition is not such as at all to Cypress
the counties, and no Intelligent community
could for moment conclude that q small
public burthen could not be beneiicially
borne that helped to promote the efficiency
and dignity cfpublic justice and public order.
1t is misfortune 10 the State that the trl-
bunas that are nearest the people, that sup.
ply the most immediate protection, and ap'
ply the prompsest punishments, should be
reduced to the greatest disfavor Of the legis.
lative power. 1t is neither wise nor practi.
cal, nor does it show proper consideration
for The public welfare.

men', and We suspect he will do the mail
service an iuj,iry by reducing the reve.
nue. where it should be maintained. A
large amount OF matter that Is now thrown
upon the mails costs the Government largely
over the charge for transporting it by mail,
and il would just as wei! be given to the
express. Besides, we conjecture that the
press has quite enough of contributions from
those who have the itch for writing. There
should he desire rather that the food
should be restrained bya healthy tax than
that 1t should be facilitated by reducing
charges.

English Conservatism.

A new agitation Is stirred up in England.
The antagonistic forces Of Conservatism ana
Democracy are, after period o! qu'e''
gently bu,ted against one another. Dit.
BalGnT, who has been for time in civil IN.
tcrcourse with the Government, has I'M
loosed his tongue and pitched in With en-
phsss. He spoke at Birmingham on the
23T, in reply to Lord DERBY, who at the
same place spoke to the workingmen, giving
them more Of Conservatism With his prach-
cal philosophy than the Quaker statesman
liked.
Mr.. BRIGHT seemed to exert himself to call
back the Radical mind to the principles OF
reform which be had formerly made familiar
10 their ears; but which had somewhat SUBJ
sided during sort Of truce which bad lasted
while he was hapd.in.glove with high GIN
cials.
BRIGHT is on the wsr.patb, but England
will bold Mr.. BRIGHT and his successors yet
long tussei. Conservatism in England Is
the vital principle. When that is 80 revoiu'
tion:zed that it passes out of the British
social and political economy the prestige ana
power of Great Britain will have passed
away. and WEBsrER's figure Of the drum
beat Of that great Power keeping company

ters. The Presidents message gave us about
all we had. II anything is added TO the dis
cussion il Is that the surrender of the Mon
ROE doctrine by the United States is more
emphatic than before understood.
In Dir. Flsu's letter he substantially repro
ducos the language of the message. Deciar-
ing that the resurrection in Cuba is itself
grievance, he says: " In the absence OF any
prospect Of the termination Of the war, or OF
a,A change in the manner in which it has
lr,G conducted on either side, the
