An independent Judiciary.

There is nothing that reflects more
credit upon people than the character
of it's judicial officers. They are the
safeguards of the rights OF the people;
the guardians of their liberties, and the
induces to the moral and intellectual tone
and attachments of community. An
able, pure, elevated judiciary gives out
an influence that affects every avenue OF
social and civil life. 1t is something to
which reference and appeal may be
made with pride, and has silent power
in molding and crystalizing public senti-
ment and giving it right direction. And
there is no one thing that more directly
contributes to the creation OF an lnde-
pendent Judiciary, than fair compen-
sation for the services rendered. A
Judge whose time is occupied with the
duties of his office, should be above the
annoyances incident to inadequate Fay.
Nothing SO disturbs and distracts the
mind as debt, and no one holding judi
cial position, and who consclentlOusly
discharges the grave duties imposed,
can properly meet the demands upon
him who is harrassed and annoyed by
demands his revenues cannot meet.
We were lead into these remarks by
seeing tabulation of the salaries paid
the circuit judges in the various States OF
! the Union, where we find that the cir
cult Judges of this State receive about
as much as first class clerk. and not
enough to afford comfortable living
to a moderate sized family. 1t reads as
fellows

1t will be seen from this table tnat
Virginia pays the smallest salary to her
circuit judges of any State i'll the Union;
that even West Virginia is more liberal
in this respect, and all the other States
allow much larger amounts than either OF
the Virsinias Judge the other circuits
by that in which Augusta county is in
cluded, and there is no other conclusion
to be reached than that the salary paid
is shamefully inadequate. Augusta,
Rockingham, Rockbridge, Highland,
Bath and Allegheny constitute the cir
cult, and in each county three courts
a,year are Matchmaking Is during the
year. In the three larger counties-Au-
gusta, Rockingham, and Rockbridge-
each term will average month, making
nine months out of. the twelve for one
half of the counties, and the courts in
the other three will necessarily take up
the balance of the year, la laborious
work from January to December. 1t
will be seen from this statement, that
the faithful judge Is slave to the peo-
ple-that his entire time Is absorbed IN
the discharge of the sometimes intricate
and at all times grave. and important
duties of his office, with no opportunity
il there were a disposition, to engage in
any enterprise to supplement his meagre
salary.
1t is not wise economy to minimize the
pay of the judiciary. 1t is not public
policy, or to the interests of the people
that it should be So The dignity of the
position, the interests involved, and the
good name of the State, demand that
the judges, who come SO near to the peo-
pie, should be adequately paid. and the
judiciary thus made Independents 81 the
contingencies and necessities which
invariably and necessarily attend insult

the attention of the Legislature to this
important matter for ample provision to
be made for the circuit judges OF the
State, and that they be placed on an
equal footing with the same class of Of
ficers in other States. The pay OF the
circuit judges should be at least $4,000
per annum. The people would sustain
such an increase, and look with con-
tempt upon any affected concern that
might be manifested by narrow-minded
Legislators. incapable of approaching
the qualifications, the duties and the
dignity of the judiciary. Make the
Judiciary independent of want. Let the
judge feel, while serving the people and
guarding their rights. that those depend
ent upon him are provided for, and that
| he can dismiss from his mind while EN-
gagged in the delicate and responsible
! duties of his office, the fear that the
wolf may be at his door when returns to
his family

Suicide of Frank B. Gowan

l.
Frank b. Gowan. at one time Presi-
dent of the Reading, Pa, railroad, and
one of the most prominent and distin-
guished lawyers of that State, committed
suicide in Washington City last Satlr-
day. He was found dead in his room at
Wormly's in the evening, and it is sup
posed the tragic death occurred ten or
twelve hours previous to the discovery.
A pistol was lying by his SIDE and a bull
let hole was in his head. He had been
engaged during the week arguing cases
before the Interstate Railroad Commits
sion, and when last seen was bright
and CHEEKY, and in perfect health. He
was a man of imposing personal appear
ance, brilliant intellect, courtiy de-
meanor, and exceedingly popular with
every class or community. There was no
assignable cause for the act. His age
was 81, his domestic relations pleasant,
his financial condition comfortable, and
his health perfect. The fact that he
never carried pistol, and that the one
found on the floor was a new one. leads
some of his friends to conclude that he
was murdered, and others to think that
in temporary deranged condition of
his mind, he committed the deed. But
the possession of the pistol would seem
to indicate generalization, as it must
have been purchased before he went to
his room. His was unique and pictur-
esque character, and his death is greatly
deplored in his native State, and else
where.

Brazil.


The Baltimore Sans correspondent at
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, gives a graphic
description of the events leading up 10
the dethronement of Emperor Dom Pc
dro and the proclamation of the United
States of Brazil, and describes incidents
and characters connected with the revo-
luton. Private cable advices received
Saturday in Baltimore from Brazil do
not give as hopeful fol ecast OF political
tranquility in that country as was an
ticipated. 1t was intimated that the
President of the provincial government
is i'll and that financial circles are aglta-
ted on account of possible contingent
cies. 1t is announced from Lisbon, Por-
tugal, the present residence OF the de-
posed Emperor, that Viscount de Ouro,
Dom Pedro's late prime minister, has is
sued manifesto calling on the Brazilian
imperialists to vote for the imperial can
didates in the coming elections. Adj
vices by steamer at New York describe
the manner in which the Brazilian navy
was rendered helpless in the revolution.
The fate of some naval officers who re-
sisted the republicans is doubtful, it be-
ing claimed by their friends that they
were shot. When the news was first
published that Brazil had been suddenly
converted from Monarchy to Repub-
yet. 1t was too quiet and too sudden to
be deep and stable. Dom Pedro was
and is popular with the people, and his
hasty expatriation was well guarded
from the masses. We look for lively
times in that country before the United
States of Brazil becomes one of the set
tied political countries of the world.
Washington as a Winter Resort.
Washington City is now recognized to
be great winter resort. Much of the
surplus wealth of the nation is devoted to
the enhancement of the charms of the
national capitol, both in artistic build
ings and improvements. and in social
attractions. Congress, in session, draws
the intelligence and refinement of the
country, and supplemented by the many
instructive associations of the govern
ment departments and the artistic col
lections resulting from public and pri-
waite donations, there is no place in the
world where SO many advantages and
pleasures are to be found for those am
bilious to learn and others with leisure
and means to enjoy their ease. The
way to embrace all these charms is to
! go to and from Washington on the F.
F. V. Limited, the finest vestibule train
running between Cincinnati and New
York. via Washington. The train is
ytstibuled from end to end. heated with
steam from the engine. lighted with
electricity and with individual reading
lamps. furnished with an elegant Pull
man dining car that runs through, and
equipped with the finest cars from the
Pullman shops. The G. & 0. Route is
the most picturesque and interesting in
America, and the journey up the Ohio
over the Alleghanies and Blue Ridge
and across the plains OF Manassas. is
