KEARSEY has made his bow to the Bos-
tonians that is TO say, 70 a crowd Of such
Bostonians as could be got together in
front Of his hotel on Sunday. The speech
made on the occasion, made by the way in
his shirt sleeves, had the genuine Kearney
illyor. He talked Of 1" fostering corpses, .
q hell hounds OF capital" aud used other
choice expletives which, as we know. are
kearney's chief stock in trade. II we may
judge OF the extracts of the Eastern papers
which noticed Kearnoy's arrival, it would
seem as il the press there had determined to
treat him with ridieulc rather than make
aay sensation over him. Ridicnle will put
an end 10 Kearney and Kearneyism at the
East sooner than anything else, and we

The Esi=l.. Of In~trnc,ion-

The Edwards Citizen eoncurs with us
in the position that as this Is represen-
tatiye government, the opinion OF the
agent elected by the people should not
prevail over the will of the people A; but
II saws our Legislature deserves censure
..for passing resolutions going beyond the
instructions of the people" We admit
that if the Legislature had been distinct
" instructed by their constituency to
pursue a given course in regard to any
matter, and had gone directly contrary
to the wish thus expressed, they would
have deserved censure but IN the ab-
senee of such expression, 1T IS mani
testify the light and the duty of the leg
islator whether in Congress or the State
Legislature to follow the dictates OF his
own Judgment, and surely it would be a
INDUSTRIOUS perversion of reason and JUS
tice to condemn him for it. Another
fact should be borne in mind by the Git
zen. Under our republican theory of
government, the Legislature IS the con
sti:uency of the United States Senator.
To the Senator. the Legislature are 1.-THE
people," He represents the State and Is
amenable to the Legislature, and hence
it has been the invariable usage since the
organization of the government for Leg
islatures in communicating their will
upon measures requiring the action OF
Congress, to instruct" the Senator, and
request" the representative. Ii there
is right of the constituency to rule,
there is a right to ''instruct' and to be
obeyed and if there is no such right,
our boosted representative government Is
mere pretence, shadow without
the substance; and the sooner the
people dispense with platforms" and
the forms Of elections with u view t.
carrying into effect measures which they
prefer, the better. Why not provide for
the establishment of a dictatorship at
once and be done with it?
1t was remarked by distinguished
statesman (Mr. Bayard,) in the U. S.
Senate recently, that "the possession OF
irresponsible power never failed in hu-
man history tc corrupt the possessor >
and it might have been added that when
the doctrine is firmly established that the
representative is no longer responsible to
the authority that elected him, our popu
lar government will have been trans
formed into a frightful despotism. AS
we look with horror upon this heresy
and its consequences, we shall battle with
all corners against it, and for the right
Of the DeoDle tn rule

Region.

From a long article in the Bay 81.
Louis Herald, we have copied the fol-
lowing extract pertinent to the above
title:
We cannot nvcrrate the i'm p1rtance of the
interests of this section. South OF the Mrri-
dian Railroad the Government owns about
four millions of acres of the finest timber
lands in the world. Denuded OF the timber,
the lands are really valuable for cultivation.
Little effort has ever been made to settle
and develop these lands, making them bear
their share of the taxes OF the State. At
Mississippi City deep water, capable of fl at
ing the largest vessels that sail, is easily
and economically reached. While millions
OfmOney has been spent in towing ships to
the wharves of New Orleans and Mobile, a
large part of which has come from Misss-
sippi taxpayers, not a dollar has been spent
in making the harbor of our S ate of any
avail to its citizens. As well might our
Southern harbOr have been washed by a
frog pond as by waters bearing the COM
merce of the world, for all the practical
value it has been 10 our citizens.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce quotes
the following, as the language of Secre-
tary Sherman relative to maintaining
the value of the silver dollar; 81 have
this opinion, which can express strong
ly, that, under the law as it now stands.
we can maintain the silver dollar at par
with the best money afoat, either gold
or currency, and can issue fifty and per
haps one hundred millions of these silver
dollars, giving great relief to the people.
| think we can issue from fifty to one
hundred millions at par in gold, but we
can do it only on the basis of the present
law It would seem that the Secretary
is preparing to balance himself on the
fence upon the silver question. He has
changed his tone since the passage of the
law, and thinks it is not so bad after all,
if the silver advocates will only consent
to stand upon the Senate amendments
and not insist upon its unlimited coinage
in the case of gold. But the game,
shrewd as it it, and conveying, as it does,
an admission that the prophecies of the
antisilver statesmen as to the effect of
the measure, are false-will not win.
What the country demands is that the
two metals shall be placed side by side,
on an equal footing. and the agitation
will go until it is accomplished.

A bill has been introduced in Congress
by Hon. A. II Stephens for this OBJ
ject 1t provides that the territorial ju-
risdiction of the United States Supreme
Court shall be divided into fifteen Judi
cial circuits, and to each circuit there
shall be a Judge of the Supreme Court
who may sit in the Circuit Court of his
district if his duties otherwise permit
Immediately after the passage of this act,
the President shall appoint g sufficient
number of said judges, who with the
number now ON the Bench shall consti-
tute, including the Chief Justice, the
number of fifteen. As soon as said Jus
tees shall take their seats, the Chief
Justice shall divide all the judges in five
sections or sub divisions of three judges
each, one of whom he shall appoint as
Chief Justice of said section. The bill
further provides that the entire business
of the Supreme Court shall be parcelled
into five separate sections. 1t is proper
TO state that we hope the bill will not be
pressed until after the next Presiden-
tial election, when the appointments
can be made by Democratic Pres
ident The Republicans have had the
appointments for the last seventeen
years, and they have almost made
the Court strictly partisan tribu-
nal. Besides the South proper has no
representation in the Court, and is not
likely to have under the present Radical
regime.

A w AGlel sheriff.

Capt. @. NJ. Gallaspie, Sheriff of New
ton county, was in town last Thursday
He made his settlement with the Audi
tor in full, bringing up all the corners
with perfect precision, and reported not
an acre of land sold to the State for taxes.
This satisfactory showing, by the way,
can be and is made by several other coun
ties in the State, and all of them, thus
far, exhibit Il very small list of lands for
feited for taxes during the present year,
Il fact which conveys an eloquent com
ment upon the vigilance of our officers,
and the wholesome temper and condition
of the people under the ameliorating in
fuence of honest Democratic rule. Capt.
Galiaspie is fair type of the East. He
Is real nobleman of nature, and moves
forward in his sphere, discharging his
duties regularly and accurately as an
old eight day clock. His reports are
always correct, and like well regulated
bank he is always prompt in responding
to any just demand made on him. Capt.
Gallaspie has been Sheriff of Newton
county for number Of years, and we
don't know how he is going to manage to
get out Of the office. The truth is he has
gone on strengthening himself in the re-
spect and friendship of everybody be has
come in contact with and entrenching
himself behind bulwark of trust and
confidence from which it is utterly i'm
possible to dislodge him. He has done
all this without taking any credit to him
self for it. He is perfectly oblivious of
his popularity which he has made by the
quiet but faithful performance of duty
as public official and unobtrusive citi-
zen.
