Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO., No. 149 East Bay, Charleston. S. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1S70. NE WS OF TUE J) A T. -Gold at New York yesterday closed strong at 17. -In New York cotton closed dull and heavy. -General Quesadaand Uve companions arrived at Nassau on the 14th instant in a small boat. -A new cable o connect England with the Wes: India Islands will bc laid In about two months. -Detroit has repealed its ordlnaucc rc .airing commercial travellers to pay license. Ic has not been enforced for some time. -Wine U peddled on the Missouri railroads at thirty cents a bottle-twenty-flve cents Tor the bottle and Ave cents for thc wine. -The Mormon missionaries on Long Island have "converted"' live young and pretty girls, and will send them to Utah next mouth. -According to official statistics, the Chinese have abstracted and carried off from the soil of California sixty-eight millions of gold and silver In the last fifteen years. -Thc sale of Taompson's pictures, at New York, has closed, thc total receipts footing up $57,000, from which the estate will realize but $30.000, not a tenth of the reputed original cost. The collec? tion of "nudes" went on* very poorly, general buyers declining to invest at all, aud dealers pay? ing but a small price for them. ? -Dpn Carlos, of Spain, was arrested at Lyons by thc clvU authorities, while travelling through France with nn Austrian passport, under the name of Marquisa Alcontara. Previous to hts arrest, he met' thc Duke Molina, at Lyons, and completed all his arrangements for going to Spalu and raising another Insurrection. -The "Food Journal." published in London, states that a sample of tea sold in that city as tine green gunpowder toa, on examination proved to bc nothing but common' caper'' leaves, In? geniously faced and manipulated. Thc manufac? ture of this spurious tea, lt ls stated, is carried on la England and probably in the United States. -Mr. Bowen, of the New York Independent, nppcared before the House Postal Committee the other day, and made an argument in favor of re? ducing the letter postage to one cent. He pre? sented some statistics concerning this matter, whereby a large reduction of the expense for ?jerrying on the Postofficc Department can be se? cured. He also stated that there were capitalists in New York City representing $100,000,000 who are ready to perform the service of carrying the letters at the reduced rate of postage, provided the government ls willing to abandon this branch of the service. -The New York Sun doubts whether thc bills before Congress to relieve American shipping, even If they become laws, will answer the end proposed. Thc one serious obstacle to the in cre s? of our tonnage, it thinks, ls the great ex? pense of manning and equipping vessels on this side of the Atlantic, and thc high rate of interest whlc':; capital earns in other branches of Ameri? can Industry. As long as Englishmen caa build and send out ships and steamers cheaper thau we can, and are satisfied with half the dividends our merchants expect, they will necessarily take the carrying trade. -It is reported that the steamer Anna has ajaln been seized on thc declaration of one of her crew. A schooner which left Nassau with coal for this steamer went to Green Key, but was unable to and her and returned to Nassau. She brought back a number of Cubans who had gone to Hw Key to wait for thc Anna. The Governor of New Providence hearing that a Cuban depot and rendezvous had been established oa Green Key, dispatched the English guuboat Dart there to break lt up. She has just returned to Nassau with two cannon and a quantity of arms and ammunition, which had been deposited on thc Key for the steamer Anna. -The New York Methodist State Convention at Syracuse have declared their position to thc fol? lowing effect: While they do not propose to form a Christian nor even a Protestant politloal party, they take thc ground that good men throughout the State and nation should bc thoroughly organ? ized und prepared to act promptly and unitedly la opposition to everything that endangers onr free institutions, as: First, the Roman Catholic conspiracy against public schools Second, the endowment and support by thc Mate of sectarian institutions. Third, the legal sanction of liquor trafile. Fourth, the desecration or the Christian Sabbath. Fifth, all forms of political corruption. A State Committee ls appointed to disseminate and render practical these principles. A report wa3 adopted in favor of the establishment of a Central Methodist University at Syracuse, and $161,000 was contributed. -A correspondent of thc New York Sun, wri? ting from Salt Lake City on the nth instant, states lhat abont thc 2o:h or this month Brigham Young and a few of the higher dignitaries would letve that city on a tour South, ostensibly to pay a visit to the lower settlements, but in reality to penetrate the lower portion or thc Territory of Arizon t, bordering on thc Mexican line, and there select a new place of rendezvous for thc gather? ing of the Saints. As soon as arrangements can be perfected, all those who live in polygamy wLI be removed from this section of the country to set? tle In this new State of Zion. As thc main object of the Callum bill is to suppress polygamy, it will in his mannerbe derea'.ed.for when the bill is passed, there will be no polygamy lh Utah to suppress, and If the government 6honl0 feel disposed to prosecute them in their new abode they can quietly remove within the Mexican lines, and there defy the laws or the country without fear or molestation. -The policy al education by compulsion on the part of a comrannity has been often discussed. In Philadelphia they are about to solve lt. The board of comptrollers or the public schools of that city has perfected a bill in relation to compulsory duration, which applies to all cltildren in the ciry between thc ages of eight and sixteen who do not attend private or parochial schools. It is estimated that there are at least 20,000 children In Philadelphia between six and eighteen years or age who do not attend any school, and who do not receive any Instruction either in reading or writing. It ls said that In Prussia every child ls compelled by law to attend school; but it must be also said that in Prussia there is a school for every child. This ls not thc case, it seems, iu Philadelphia, as there are now, according to a statement made about a month ago. several thou? sand children whose names are entered at the public schools who aro walting for alailssloa, I but who cannot b^ received because there are no accommodations Tor them. -ID thc Mordaant divorce case in London on Wednesday, the Prince of Wales, some of whose letters to Lady Mordaant have been published, was called to the stand. Lord Penseanco pointed out that no witness was bound to make to auy. question an answer which would admit that he had been guilty of adultery. Thc Prince testilled that he was acquainted with Lady Mordaant pre? vious to her marriage; made her a wedding pres? ent. Before the marriage she visited the Princess at Marlborough House. She had visited the thea tre in company with the Prince ami Princesa. He saw her after in 18C? and 1SG7. He hail frequently met Slr Charles with Lady Mordaunt. In June, 1807, he met Sir Charles at a pigeon match, on which occasion Lady Mordaant scored for both sides, and he spoke to her In the course or the match. The Prince admitted that he occasionally used hansom cabs. He solemnly asserted that there had never been any improper or criminal intention between himself and Lady Mordaunt. The declaration was received by a great crowd of spectators with cheers, which the court endeavor? ed to repress, bat which were renewed. The Bench expressed much loyal indignation at the publication by public journals of the letters or the Priuce to Lady Mordaunt. Thc City Council and the Fire Depart? ment. The hot haste with which the City Coun? cil, at one session, introduced and read three times an important Ordinance for the regu? lation of the Fire Department, was not war? ranted by any public necessity, and smacks over-much of a determination to decide the question before an opportunity was had of remonstrance or amendment. It is admitted, to begin with, that thirty thousand dollars is enough to spend upon the Charleston Fire Department, and it is admitted, also, that the colored lire compa? nies must receive the same pay as white companies of the same class; but it is sus? piciously strange that the pay of the compa? nies Bhould have been changed, and their number limited, without a word of warning or explanation. The custom has been, in all' matters connected with the department, to confer with the Board of Firemaster*, with the chief and assistant-chiefs of the Fire Department, and with the commiUwa of Council who have the Fire Department in special care. No law forced the Mayor and Aldermen to do these things; but a proper consideration for the public interests, and a laudable desire to act knowingly and delibe? rately, caused all preceding administrations to consult the experts of the department, and those familiar with its operations, be? fore they made any grave or trifling change in its management or organization. In the present instance, however, the Council has taken a leap in the dark. The chief of the department, and the Board of Firemasters, knew nothing of the new Ordiuance until it appeared yesterday in the public prints, aud the chairman of thc Aldermauic committee on the Fire Department said, in Council, that he had not been advised of its preparation or intended passage. If we arc correctly in? formed, the Ordinance was concocted in caucus, and was rushed through Council in defiance of the wishes of the minority, who wanted time for iuquiry and reflection. We have already said that thirty thousand dollars is enough to spend in one year upon the Fire Department: but this fact does not excuse the intemperate conduct of the City Council. Did they inform themselves whether $1600 a year for the steamers and $800 a year for thc hand engines would, with the closest economy, keep the engines and appa? ratus in order, and pay for the necessary at? tendance? Did they inquire whether the difference between the cost of maintaining a steamer and a* hand engine is not far greater thau the difference between the 51S00 proposed to be given the one, and the $800 to be given the other ? Did they ask whether any companies are willing to serve the city without pay or reward ? Did they, in fact, go over the whole ground, and determine whether it was better to reduce the annual pay than to reduce the number of companies in the department ? Unless City Council did these things wc say unhesitatingly that their action on Tues? day night was premature and wrong, anti was an act of gross injustice lo every fire? man in Charleston. American Judges. The Saturday Review has an article of grave significance in relatkn to the depre? ciation of the American judiciary. Once Kent ami Story aud Harper were quoted in England, as Coke and Mansfield are quoted on this side bf the water. The fact that our judges have a larger sphere than Ihosc of Europe, having a right (vainly claimed else? where, ) to found Iheir decisions upon the constitution rather than upon the laws, gives them a direct influence on the legislation of the country, and an immense political au? thority. Even ardent partisans, like .Mar? shall and Taney, were steadied by the re? sponsibilities of so great a charge, ami pre? sided at court with admirable justice and dignity. They made the Supreme Court in many respects, ue the Saturday Review ad? mits, "the most august tribunal ill the world." Eut wc are told that all this is changed now. The English judges shrink from re? cognizing the authority of modern American cases. The judicial office is losing its sanc? tity; many of the judges, particularly in New York, are corrupt or incompetent; many of the most skilful and honorable practitioners consider it their chief duty to their clients to keep their business out of court; lawyers admitted to the bar, without adequate pre? paration, fail to exercise a just professional influence over the bench; and finally Con? gress degrades the office by making it, as in the case cf Mr. Stanton, the reward of bitter partisanship. Such are the grave allega? tions urged against the American judiciary, and which, while somewhat exaggerated, have truth enough in them to make the mod? ern decisions of our courts contemptible be? fore the tribunals of England, and to lower the bench in the estimation of the people of the United States. What a judge ought to be we know very well ; for we have had many a dignitary and some still linger among us-who has borne that great office long and worthily. We can recall many a venerable name to whom the law of reason and Hie law of the land were inviolable principles, and to whom respect of persons was unknown,-many a judge, thoughtful, acute, conscientious, in the trial of cases, and devoted in hoary age to the study of the laws with more than the enthusiasm, if that were possible, which characterized his cager, aspiring youth, many a judge whom none ever dared to ap? proach with a menace or a bribe; who rose nobly superior to the favor or the fear of man; who never dreamed of personal ad? vantage when he ministered, a robed and consecrated high priest, iu the temple of jus? tice. One had but to be in the presence of these men to feel that they were consciously charged with the interests of human soci? ety, and were bound to fidelity by solemn and heartfelt oaths of office; that thoy were a great power in the State, and could not abuse the public confidence and the private right confided to their keeping; that they were the vicegerents of that high authority by which king3 reign and and princes decree justice. When these great lawyers wore the ermine, American jurisprudence was re? nowned the world over. De Tocqueville praised it. Brougham copied it. Foreign lawyers quoted it. Foreign judges attended to it. It furnished precedents to tribunals, suggestions to cabinets, contributions at once to the order and to the progress of modern civilization. All this is chauging now-thanks to Radi? calism. To an American, the causes are clearer than they are to the Saturday Re? viewer. They are mainly two. First. The election of judges by the people, and for limited terms of office. This policy is fatal to judicial integrity. An official who is elected for party services, and who must continue to serve the party in office, is apt not to have the quali? fications of a judge, and is perpetually tempted to abuse the functions of his office. As a politician, he followed expediency as his law ; why should he follow any other as a judge ? As a politician, he bribed for office ; why should he not repay his losses by taking bribes as a judge? Asa politician, he allied himself with the strong; why should he de? fend the rights of the weak as a judge ? We do not say that a demagogue may not make a good judge, but thc probabilities are against so wonderful a transformation^ We do say, however, that many demagogues will not make many good judges. And the tendency of popular elections of judges is to fill the bench with demagogues. In the second place, the Radicalism of Congress has done more than Radicalism among the people, to degrade the judicial office. Thc Supremo Court, to which, the constitutional rights of the States and the people have been confided, now finds its lib? erty of action restricted and even endan? gered. Of late, the number of judicial dis? tricts has been lessened or increased for purely partisau purpo3e3. Acta have been passed forbidding certain decisions, in re? gard to law3 notoriously unconstitutional. The judges have been threatened with im? peachment or suppression. Men pledged beforehand to a certain political course have been thrust into that great office. The court lias been so badgered a3 to consent to with? hold its decisions in certain cases, aa in that regarding military commissions in time of peace, until Congress should have passed ex post facto laws upon the subject. No won? der that such measures are beginning to tell upon the authority of the judiciary. Of what earthly value will their decisions be when Radicalism bas completed its work, and has made the American bench a mere party platform ? WE concur fully with our correspondent, "Justice," in his well expressed opinion tiiat the Germans of America have "contributed "largely to the welfare of our whole country," and none, than ourselves, appreciate more highly the thrift, intelligence and law-abid? ing spirit of the German citizens of Charles? ton. Wo cannot, however, iii? th ii or any other instance, deviate from our well-known rule, not to publish anonymous communica? tions.
