TSHUDY, ChM romn J. lacOnstin.Secretarv. The Legal• Tender Decision History shows that Judges have not al ways been incorruptible. When power has wanted to find pliant tools in Courts of J ustice It has often been able to do so. Illustrious examples there have been of Judges who could not be bribed or in tinthiated, and such men have given to the bench that dignity which has caused It to be reverenced Wherever the Eng lish language is spoken. But England lad Its Jeffreys, mid the United States now has its Bradley and Its Strong, who have Just paid the Klee of their eleva tion to the bench of the highest Judicial tribunal In this country by reversing decision in regard to legal-tenders. Then IL was decided by the Supremo Court that Congress did nut possess the Power and the Constitution to pass a law impairing contracts, and conee quently that debts contracted prior to the passage of the legal-tender net were payable principal and Interest in gold or Its equivalent, that decision was free ly accepted and approved by the best lawyers in the country and by the peo ple. The only parties who manifested idly great degree of opposition to the de cree of the Supreme Court were certain cal I Intel companies which had large ob ligations outstanding that had been con tracted prior to the war. They declined to abide by the decision and prepared to resist It. Being adepts In all the arts of political Intrigue they speedily man aged to have u law passed by Congress adding one to the number of Judges on the bench of the Supreme Court, and, when J udge Oiler retired, Messrs. Brad ley and Strong were elevated to the po sitions they, now occupy. No sooner were these gentlemen con lirond than it was announced that the decision of the Supreme Court upon legal-tenders would be reversed. The interested corporations knew their men, nod had dictated their nomination.— rant was :is ready to oblige rich corpo • rations as wealthy private being sure that he should find his ac tin sodding. Judge Strong, while he was on the Supreme Bench of Pen n sy I van imbed not only decided In favor of the legal-tender act in an Its phases, hot was known to be the friend of pow erful railroad corporations. Judge Brad ley's opinion on the legui•tenderact was WV I I ascertained before (3 ran t nominated him, and it was hinted that he had long been under the control of New Jersey railroad companies. With Bradley and --;irong added to the three Judges who had dissented from the decision on the lgal-tender question, its opponents had majority of one in a bench which had been purposely increased from eight to nine. The newspaper press of the country, without a single important exception, deprecated the re-open log of this legal tender question, but the railroads were inexorable in their demands, and rive out of nine of the Judges of the Supreme court were ready to yield tot their re quirements. I hiving induced the Presi dent, to nominate the men they selected, tool having thus packed the bench to suit their purposes they were not to be deterred from their designs by any con siderations of public policy, and much less by C0M11101.1630f the newspaper press. The decision required by the railroads bas been duly rendered and the degra dation of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States is thus made complete. It can no longer command the respect and confidence of the people as at present constituted. Fortunately the decision will have comparatively little influence upon the commercial world, asgold and greenbacks are nearly on a par. But the ugly fact.,still remains that Congress and the President combined to pack the Supreme . Court for the express pur posoofsecuringsuch a decision as power corporations demanded. Ilere we have another instance of the audacity, the greed and the disregard for law At 'lief; distinguishes these gigantic mon sters. They notonly control State Leg islatures, Congress and the President of the United States; but they have in vaded the chamber of the Supreme Court of the United States, set their 'real ores on the bench, and dictated to Bent what they should decree Co be the law of the land. Well may the people stand and stare in amazon - tent at such exhibitions of power corruptly gained and more corruptly used. Thot decision of the Supreme Court is deeply to be regretted for the interests (,r our home finance, which having been to a . considerable extent regulated to a specie standard, will now be again disturbed ;• it is to 'be regretted on ac ettent of its etreetlabroad, where it will be propeili:y regarded by • the • holders of our railroad bondwas a direct repudla ii,m of a part of the principal and In t...rest thereon.; but it is to be .chiefly regretted for the sake off the Supreme Court itself ? , au the Ihtluenee which will be exercised upon society by such au exposure as • a majority of theludges have Made of their Wealthess 144th.0.1r: tett of lion. t"Garrielal . • • The able and eloquentlecturetif Hon.

Another, Judge , Henry, was too drunt tor days together : to hear a habeas corpus ease. Another Judge Cannon recorded two separate judgments in the same case, one against the plaintiff and the other against the defendant,and both for the same arnonnt. Besides these there are other Judge's who are equally Infamous. Among others Is 0. \V. Logan, of the Ninth District, who has made a fortune out of the office. He It is who wrote a lying letter representing his section of the State to he In a condition of complete Insurrection at the time when the Am nesty Bill was last tinder consideration by Congress. A correspondent of the I New York 'Vim exposes the gross false hoods of his communication. There was not a word of truth In it, anti it was only gotten up for the effeet which It had on Congress. Ills district was per fectly peaceful ut the time. Logan was a rebel and gave fifty dollars to !It out the first Confederate company which loft Rutherford mini ty. lie finds lying easy lifter the turns he has made. What a terrible picture Is preseuted In this portraiture of the men who have been put upon the bench by negro votes in North Carolina! Is It any wonder there is harsh feeling where such a state of things Is not only possible but the best that eau be expected under the. rulo of the Republican party. Is It strange that the white people of North Carolina united to throw off the yoke, and to bring the State within the fold of the Democratic party, under which the abuses so Justly complained of urn be ing peaceably done away with. lirant'n Ku-Klux Proelaniatlon. The Ku-Klux Bill was passed at the Instance of President Grant. Ile de manded that the Constitution of the United Stales should be violated in order that supreme and dictatorial pow ers might be conferred upon him, and a subservient Congress hastened to do his bidding. Ile does not intend to per mit the powers conferred upon him to slumber unused. He has issued a pro clamation which we publish elsewhere. There appears to be profound quiet in the South, and the most Radical Repub lican newspapers have failed to discover any outrages sines the passage of the law to which the proclamation refers. It is evident that the presence of Federal troops is not needed in any part of the South, but Grant deems their presence necessary for certain purposes of his own. He relies upon a united delega tion from the Southern States to insure his re-nomination, and he needs troops to prevent any interloper from running off with delegates which he regards as his private property. The first use he intends to make of the Ku-Klux Bill is to secure his re-nomination—after that is once gained he will be ready to em ploy bayonets to prevent a free election and to insure a return of the Electoral votes of the Southern States for himself. We believe that he will succeed fully in controlling the mongrel concern which constitutes the Republican party of the Seuth, but we do not believe that the whole army will be sufficient to secure him the Electoral vote of a single South ern Slate, except it may be South Caro lina, while the interference of the mili tary in the Presidential election will in sure the defeat of the dictatorial candi date in a majority of the Northern States. Grant is too stupid to compre hend the situation. In his proclamation he does not pretend to assert that any present necessity for the employment of troops exists anywhere. The document is purely minatory. It is a threat against the people of the South—a threat which sounds very much like the bluster of a village bully. The Weathurileports Ti is now generally conceded that thcreare laws which regulate the storms which sweep over the ocean and earth, and an attempt is being made to gather facts from all parts of this country to which the telegraphs extends. Under the auspices of the Signal Service Corps reports are daily undo of the condition of the barometer and thermometer, the course of the wind, the character of the weather, &e., in remote parts of the Uni ted States. From the fac.s thus gathered predictions are made as to what will be the character of the weather at different points during the succeeding twenty four hours. This system of weather tele graphy may be developed into a science of metorology which will enable experts to forecast atmospheric disturbances with something of the same accuracy with which astronomers foretell eellpSes. As soon as the system Is fairly estab lished the farmer will ceaso to put any faith in the silly predictions which a•e to be found In his favorite almanac, and will take a daily paper for the purpose of seeing what the weather prophets fore tell. In title view of the case the re ports which now appear are orgreatTn 7 Wrest, and the success which has at tended the efforts to forecast the Weather for brief periods leads to the, belief that scientific) knowledge may Soon reduce to a system the variable ,higns Which fore tell the coming of storms, and the seem ingly incomprehensible mutations of cloud and sunshine.

To give such power to a partisan body is contrary to the usage of the State and the country, and no better device could have been adopt ed for encouraging election frauds.— Each party has a right to choose its own representatives in the boards of election officers. To deny the exercise of such right Is fuck evidence of an In tention to commit frauds. Each politi cal party ought to be allowed an oppor tunity to watch the other, and only when such an opportunity Is given can, repeating and other rascalltles he pre vented in largo cities. The record which has been made In Philadelphia sines the passage of the Registry Laic, is sufficient to show the necessity for the steno it aniendment which is 'imposed. There have been gross frauds committed In the count of the voles east at elections, and scenes' of the most disgraceful character litiVe occurred. Tim presence of three J edges of the Court of Common Pitats, will ho a cheek upon Return Judges who may be disposed to act unfairly. The Republican monitions of the Leg- Isliaure may by the decree of a caucus succeed In preventing the adoption of the proposed just and proper amend ments to the Registry Law, but they will only chrystalize public sentiment against the. party by FM doing, There are few Republicans in the State who will not feel that the proposed amend ments were rejected, If rejected they shall be, for the express purpose of con tinuing opportunities for the commis sion of frantic at elections held In Phila delphia. The Bulletin sees that, god It is the consciousness of such a sentiment in Ile own party that has dictated its ap proval of the proposed amendments. A Model Carpet.llaoer In Governor Reed Florida has the honor of presenting, to the disgust of the world and to the admiration of the Radical party, a model carpet-bagger. Within two years after entering upon office he managed, by (MIL of his won derful zeal and activity, to increase the debt of his adopted State from half a million to fifteen millions ~f dollars.— He associated with him a choice lot of confidence men, and between them they plundered the State effectually. He received from Littlefield and Swep son, two railroad lobbyists, $12,500 in cash, forcalling the Legislature together, and for using his lufluence to authorize the Issuing of bonds endorsed by the State of which Littlefield and his asso ciates pocketed four million dollars worth, the Governor getting a liberal share. In every scheme of the kind, and they have been numerous, he has been named a chief corporator. He was made a corporator of the Great Southern Railroad Company, which re ceived enormous laud grants front the Legislature. He is a corporator of the Jacksonville Ferry Company, which received a grant of exclusive privileges , six miles up and down the St. John's river—the Ferry being on one side of the river on Reed's land, and known as Reed's Ferry. He was also made a cor porator of the Jacksonville and St. AuL gustine Railroad Company, running from Reed's Ferry to St. Augustine, to which the State generously granted 2.50,000 acres of land, and authorized the endorsement of its bonds to the amount of half a million of dollars. He has re ceived from the contingent fund of the State, on various pretenses over seventy thousand dollars, but that is a mere tri fle compared with the other wholesale plundering in which he was engaged. His latest and most audacious attempt was an Mint which he made to get pos session of the Agricultural College land scrip granted to Florida by the act of Congress in 186:2. For that purpose ho went to Washington with a spurious act of the Stale Legislature to which the signatures had been forged. Ile was detected in this bold piece of villainy before he had consummated the theft, and an attempt was mode to Impeach him, but there was not virtue enough in the Legislature to make the movement a success. Ho had a narrow shave of it, however, the resolution directing his impeachment being defeated by barely three majority. He has increased the debt of Florida from less than five hun dred thousand dollars to over fifteen millions In less than three years, and has burthened the people with the most oppressive taxation. Some of the bonds issued under his •itiuspices -are of doubt ful legality,and brokers who them in New York add elsewhere itrci becom ing anxious about theca: Reed lea fair specimen of the Yankee carpet-bagger. Is it any wonder the white people, the proPerty-holders of the South hate them.

There the political iinimus of the write• meews,to overcome his Judg ment to some extent. The educated whites made an honest attempt to re form the evils uuder which the State is suffering. A Reform party was formed a year ago, and its platform fully recog nized the political status of the negroes, but they were. so easily misled by artful demagogues, and so distrustful of their former masters that HO good resulted front the movement, The desperate men, who had control of the State Legislature and of all the einceft •of the State, were not slow in taking pattern from devices such as have been sanctioned by the action of Congress. They proceeded to frame a system by which the hal lot-boxes m igh t be stuffed at will, and fraudulent re turns Made without let or hiuderance. An ele'ction law- was passed. which the correspondent of the Tribune does not hesitate to stigmatitie as " mast Out rageous," and he truthfully says, "no more ingenious measure could be con trived to facilitate fraud in the Interest of the dominant party, and this was probably the object of its framers." The use of the word "probably" seems to be quite out of place in that connection when We come to consider the terms of the law. Under its:provisions this correspond ent tells us the Coveruor appoints three Commissioners of Eleeffons in each county, who' In turn appoint three man agers for every pill, all of whom belong to the Republican,or negro party. When the polls close there is no immediate counting of ballots, but one of the man agers takes the box and the poll-list to his house, where he is permitted to keep thcm three days, with nothing whatever to prevent him from putting many ballots in the boxand as many fictitious Dames on the poll-lists as he:pleases. At the end of three days the managers take the ballot-,boxes and the poll-books to the County Commissioners, at the county-seat, and the Commissioners may in turn, keep them live days, dur ing which time they can make such further manipulations as they may see fit. And, when the boxes are opened, they are opened in private, with no one presentbut the Commissioners and their clerk. After all the necessary manipu lations have been made, a return is at last sent to the Board of State Canvas sers, which return is regarded as dual and conclusive. It isnot strange, as the Tribune correspondent remarks, that the " Reformers" believed they had been cheated under such election laws. Nor is It strange that there should'be deep-seated animosity In the m tilde of the educated white men of South Carolina against a system which makes such out ruges possible. If the State of Pennsylva nia should, by any possible mutation of affairs, be suddenly put in such a condi tion as South Carolina, there would be seen a revolt of the most sanguinary character. Resistance to death would be the watch-word, laid the villains who should attempt such outrages would be killed wherever they could be found, without compunction of conacienes, and without mercy—and all good citizens would rtioice in their death.. The white people of the whole South have exhib lted a degree of moderation and forbear ance under the infamies of reconstruc tion which is really and truly wonder ful. Then:dive whites of the South are a unit against the rule which 'has' been established O r via thimn by act.g of Con gress, and by force of Federal.baynnets.

Radical theory of- reconstruction has been fully carried out to its legitimate conclusion. If Georgia and some . of the . other Southern States are in , better con- • ditiou than South Carolina, It le owing to the fact that Radicalism has been checked by the combined efibrts of the native white populatidn. Li Soutb Carolina the nogroes have to large a ma jority that the whiles are rendered per. fectly powerless, and the gmvernitiont of that State has been delivered over to the unchecked control of barbarian negroes who are manipulated by 8 set oAtiesper ate political adventurers.

Tito people of both sections will unite to elect n pros'• dent who will give lusting peace to the whole country. Premed Reforms In the Republican Party. A Republican Legislature in the State of Ohio has passed Is law for the regula tion of Primary Elections. The law pro. video that those who are appointed offi cers to conduct such eleetion3 shall be duly sworn in by s Justice of the Peace to discharge their duties honestly, and thatforany violation of such oaths those offending shall be prosecuted for perjury and severely punished by fine and prisonment, The 'Union League of Philadelphia has Issued a circular rec ommending the adoption of a similar law to be applied to Primary Elections in the State of Pennsylvania. We have seen repeated proofs of the fact that the:Republican party in this State is so thoroughly debauched that the respectable members of it have be come completely disgusted with its man agement. Here, in Lancaster. county, it is generally believed that the parties securing the officers at the Primary Elec tion are sure of a return. in their favor; and it hits frequently been. openly charged by Republican newspapers that candidates have been cheated out !of a nomination by the men who were en:- trusted with the manipulation of •the ballot-boxes, which are used under what is known as the Crawford Ocrunty.Sys tem. Many of the best men attic - Rer, publican' party in this county have he come thoroughly disgusted with. that system'on account of the frauds :which they believe to have been practiced uni der it. The question of requiring offi cers of Primary Elections to be sworn was discussed in the Republican County Committee, but the sense of a majority of the members was against It. In the debate which ensued the opinion Was freely expressed that the man who. would cheat when entrusted with such a charge would not hesitate to take any oath which might be requirtal of him and to violate it afterward. We sym; pathize with the I League, and especially do we sympathize with the' Republicans of Lancaster county; but we do not believe that they would be benefited by the passage of any law such as has been proposed. The fault Is in herent in their political organization. The leaders of their party have set a cor rupt example, and the rank and file have become thoroughly debauched. How could honesty be expected among the ward pohtichms of a:party which is represented in the Senate of the United States by one man, who openly bought his seat over the heads of Andrew Curtin and Thaddeus Stevens, and by another for whom the Pennsylvania' Railroad . purchased aseat, In orderthat It might be represented in the highest Islative boillesof the land. by one of itssal aried solicitors. The ward politicians of the Republican party in Pennsylvania can not be expected to make a show of virtuegreater than thatwhich isdisplay ed by those who nto looked to as the leaders of the organization. A law au thorizing the administration of oaths to those who cantina, Primary Efeetioha will nut remedy the evilsvf which the Union League complains. The diaetteet Is too deep-seated to be renehed•by any' such quaeltering. It hits IxtcOme stitutional and chronic in its character. The Republican party of :Pennsylvania, canhof, be purified; and the best thing fur itself and for the State woilld be 'Aft It to die as soon as possible and get ilsetic berried out of: eight forever. .
