they bargained in advance, and that their opinion

The decision by which the Pacific railroads
were relieved from the payment of interest

been expected, and was known in this city to
the great spectators two weeks before the opin-
ION was delivered in court Who BETRAYED the

In using them either, free passes on railroads,
-lrec stamps for express companies, and free
stamps for the telegraph. All these corporations
have frequent and important ltigations, and it
Is not only reprehensiblc, but Indecent that
Judges who are to try such cases should receive
fayors which, at the very least, compromise their
independence.
There are also Judges who would scornfully
reject offers of this kind, and who like the men
that have reflected honor on the Supreme Court
could not be possibly approached with q sugges-
tion .of impropriety. They feel the discrcdit
which has been brought upon the tribunal and
especially by the crowning infamy which has
destroyed its character and usefulness. Recon-
struction is the last hope for reviving the an
cient dgnity.of the court, and that'wll not per-
maps be practicable for years to some.
