Nothing yet from the indicted judges,
and no further action in court concerning
them. His Honor disposed Of some cases
of bankruptcy and Illicit transactions in IL
quor yesterday, and granted continuance
till the next regular term OF the court in the
eases OF G. z. Walker and Is. G.. Ferry, or

dicted at the last term for violation OF the
pension laws; the other for violation OF the
pension laws and presenting fraudulent
claims against the United States. Verdict
OF guilty was pronounced against three OF
the parties tried for Illicit dlsti.ling.

The unrestrained enthusiasm Of United
States Judge Riyes, OF Virginia, for the
establishment of the coIor-line in the jury
box will be apt to get him into trouble. In
causing the indictment Of number ofIState
Judges on the ground that they are viola
ting the provisions. OF the fourteenth
amendment and the -civil-rights bill by fail
ure to place coIored men on iuries in their
respective courts, we think the Judge has
not ground enough to stand on. The inhi-
billions OF the fourteenth amendment are
upon the States, and how the failure OF a
Judge to cause different classes OF the con-
.munity to be represented in the jurles OF
his court can. be construed as violation OF
the Federal laws we are at loss to say.
so says the Baltimore Americqfs, are
publican journal. Judge RIvEs is making
fool OF himsel!-that is all. We suppose
his mind is failing.

Elegiac Oratory.

II is about time that the nation or the
"Continental Congress" had COME to the
conclusion that the custom OF Gevoting so
much time to funeral discourses over the
dead who happened to die in Congress
ought to be abandoned. The thing has been
carried to excess, and has lost all its merit.
Eulogies have become merely formal. Every
man who dies has them, aud the men who
make them are chiefly concerned that they
shall reflect credit upon their authors,
whether they be true or be merited by the
dead or not. Thus, indeed, is perverted all
the virtue OF the funereal tribute. Our
American Congress has become so famous
for the funeral ceremonies that 1t is frequent
that the old satire, that these scenes give an
added terror TO death, is revived. During
the "hey-day" Of Lord CAMPBELL, Lord
BRoUGHAM, who did not like him, remarked
that death at that day had peculiar terrors,
as man might fear that after death CAMP
BELL would undertake to write his life.
Indeed, the custom has so grown in Con-
cress that it is become promotiye OF, disgust.
For every man that dies there must be so
many orators !; and every orator must cud-
gel his brains to make speech that shall
elicit the praises OF readers Of such dilata-
ton. Death thus ends the acts Of one man
and raises several others into q sort OF dis
tinction, and becomes more the cause OF
fame, such as it is, to the living than OF any
pereeptible advantage to the dead. There
is little gained that we can see IN the Gus
tom. It's well that proper eulogy should
be bestowed upon the dead, as thattends to
excite q generous emulation In the minds of
the young; bntwhen it is seen that distinc-
ton ceases to he made, and all dead public
men are transmitted, by death into great and
good men, why, the parade becomes unim-
pressiye and ineffective, except that it may
justify the conclusion that all such public
displays are hollow and insincere, and are
undeserYing ofFespect.
Congressional funerals have, indeed, be-
come sort OF ceremonial "fudge, p of no.
value to the living or the dead.

1t was gratifying to learn at a very late
hour Friday night that Mr.. LACY, Of the
House of Delegates, had concluded his
speech OF two hours and morein opposition
10 the debt-settIement bill, which almost
every intelligent man in the State fayors.
AT one time, lest Mr.. Lacy might be embar.
raised for want OF time, it was considered
whether it would not be best to vote him
time until day break that he might be unre:
strained. ~ 800.

LONDON. April Thirty home rulers
voted With the Liberals in the division
last night IN the House of Commons on

The Ti0!ss, which generally supports
the government, says: All that the OPP
position maintained was, that Sir Bartle
Freere had acted unjustitiably, and that
the course taken towards him Dy the
government was indefensible. In this
contention il will, We believe, be the
general opinion that they were justified,
and that the governments numerical
victory is Il moral defeat. The main
question, however, Of our course in
South Africa, remains undetermined
and must, some day, be discussed with
the utmost care.
