Supreme judges are presumed to be,
and ought to be, of the best and ablest
material. And Supreme Court decis-
ions ought to be expressive of the law
as it is. Decisions ought to be well
weighed. and when promulgated as
law ought to be adhered to. When
this is not done, when the Court is vac
illating in its opinions, that Court is
neither respected at home nor abroad.
At home, litigants can never be assur-
ed what will be held and what not, and
abroad, its decisions are only quoted to
be condemned. The writer has never
seen a Missouri case quoted in any
textbook written by a nonresident,
save one, Estate VS.. Cummings), and
that only mentioned to state that the
L. S. Supreme Court had overruled and
reversed it.
Our Supreme Court has again writ
ten itself down in unenviable colors. In
the S1st Mo-, in deciding State VS..
Brassfield QSS4), it held that in cases
of seduction previous specific acts of il
licit intercourse could not be shown in
defense. And now, the same Court
comes out, less than two years after,
and with equa! so!emnity holds the con-
trary and expressly reverses and over
rules its former decision.
When man states one thing one
day and another and opposite.the next,
we write him down liar; and when a
Court does the same it is not worthy of
credence, and its decisions are not re-
spected.
There is something radically wrong
about the manner OF selecting our judg-
es. We should elect able lawyers and
not corporation attorneys, nor mere
politicians, nor third-class men. Until
we DO, we will never have an able
Court.

The REGISTER for years has been
asserting that U. S. Officials have no
business tampering or interfering with
matters before the State Courts. The
practice is un-Democratic and fraught
with danger to the liberty of the citi-
zen. The U. s. laws nowhere author
ize the expenditure of Federal money
in the prosecution of cases before the
State Courts, and all such eXpendi-
lures by the Department of Justice
were illegal and consequently disrepu-
table. Mr.. w. III. Bliss, U. S. Attorn-
ey for the Eastern District of Missouri,
is one of the officials who have been
thus guilty, and is therefore unfit to
longer occupy his present honorable
position. How long will Democrats,
who believe that States have rights
which Federal authority cannot over
ride,-how long will they have to bear
the insult of having this man in posi-
ton over them? Thank God, and our
good President, the indications now
are that he will have to go at an early
day. In this connection the following
letter from the Democratic Comptroller
of the Treasury will be read with in
terpSt.

WASHINGToN, II. c., April D, 1856.
Dear ,Sir.-Your letter of April I'd is al
hand. In response will say, in my opinion
the officials of the Department of Justice
have no legal right to assume the prosecu-
ton of criminal causes in the State Courts,
unless the United States is party in inter-
est, and the expenses of the e.. S. Attorneys
should not be paid by the General Govern
ment unless the United States is party in
interest. Very Respectfully,
(Signed.) NJ. j. DURHAM,
Comptroller.
The United States was not "a party
i'm interest" in the cases to which we
allude. Is it not time that this official
violator of law were clicked out?"

lhnt safe Robbery.

In the case of Carylon vs. Fitzhenry and Mansfield, the jury rendered yer dict for the plaintiff in the sum of $2oo. This, will be remer bered, is the amount that Fitzhenry talked of borrowing from Mir. Carylon. This unfortunate affair has been before the courts for long period of time and we trust now that a jury has decided that the firm was in no wise responsible for the safe robbery, that the matter will be dropped. There is no man in Tombstone who bears a better reputation for honesty and fair dealings than R. F. Mansfield. His in tegrity has never before been called into question, and the EPITAPH is of the opinion that there is not man Tn Tomb stone who believes that he, Mir. Mans field, knows anything about that safe robbery more than what is already known to the public.

Mrs. Lar.w.,s Entertainment.

The elocutionary and dramatic enter tainmen', by Mrs. Nina Larowe, at the City hall yesterday evening, was not very largely attended, but was much enjoyed by those who were present. Mrs. La rowe proved herself to be possessed of great versatility and considerable dra- matc power. Her strongest point IS in the humorous impersonations. The fol- lowing was the programme presented last evening:
 Lotion scene, from "Romeo and Juliet"
 "The Backwoods School Girl"
 Dagger scene from "Macbe,h."
 "A Giddy Girl in Church"
 "The Two Tramps."
 "The Jiners."
 1.-The Two Lovers"
 The performer was frequently and warmly applauded during the evening One cause of the slim attendance may be found in the numerous entertainments winch have come off recently or are about to take place. Another was the place chosen for the performance, as, for some reason or other, it seems almost 10 gather decent audience in the City hall. It is to be hoped that Mrs. Larowe may be induced to appear again in this city, when there is little doubt that she would secure larger audience.

The Washing Problem Solved.

The chief argument used by the ladies against the removal of the Chinamen is the difficulty of getting washing done. The force of this argument has been re- moved by modern invention-the "Lit- tie Joker" washing machine. This ma chine is light, simple, cheap and durable. A child, or weakly woman, can work it. It saves more than two-thirds of the time and three-fourths of the labor. It washes clean and saves wear of clothes. Call and inspect it. Mrs. Grant, agent.
