Adam ltadeau'* attack on Geo. 11, Thomas is more than likely to prove a boomerang. Mr. Hadean is the bosom friend of General Grant and for a long time has depleted the pub lic Treasury by drawing bis salary as one of Grant's appointees übroad. He has used the money he drew as Consul at Loudon, and his abundant leisure, in formulating what will lie known in history as "The life of General Grant." Mr. Badeau is not accepted as either good military authority or a correct judge of the movements of our armies during the war of the Rebellion, from the fact that his position as a staff of ficer of Cicueral Graut usually kept him so secluded from the active oper ations of the army a* to make his practical knowledge of its movements of very little imiortaucc. His entire book is untrustworthy. Every chap ter is filled with misrepresentations, and the whole object of this miscalled history is plainly revealed on every page. All the great heroes of the war are belittled in order to enhance the lustre of the fame of the great gift taker. A monument is to In built for General Graut, hut the other captains are to lie in unmarked graves. When Mr. Badeau sat down to falsify history, to distort facts and to make himself and his book ridiculous, he possibly was controlled by hut one idea. He is the creation of Grant. He owes all he is to the distinguished favor of the slaughterer the Wilder ness, and in order to rescue his fidut Achate* from the certain verdict of the impartial historian, he deliberately determined to throw the filth of false hood over the reputations of all who were likely to shine in history as the jyeers of Grant. With the exception of General Sheridan, no military commander is spared. All of the men whom the people revere as the preservers of the Republic are incon tinently dumped into Mr. Badeau'* waste basket, while the crowned God of his work is extolled to the skies. General Thomas is the target at which Badeau fires his choicest bomb*. General Thomas, unlike General Grant, never lost a battle or sacrificed a man unnecessarily. General Thomas, unlike General Grant, never was ac cused and proven to lie a liar. Gen eral Thomas, unlike General Grant, enjoyed the respect, the admiration and confidence of the whole people of this country. General Thomas, unlike General Grant, was pure and unspot ted in both his public and private re lations. The enduring stigma of "Black Friday" docs not Htain the posthumous memory of General Thom as. No whiskey frauds ; no San Do mingo speculations throw a shadow across the Parian Marble which forms the base of General Thomas' monu ment. Great men require no praise, neither do they need defense. The fame of General Thomas is the herit age of the Republic. He needed no monument It had been already built in the hearts of the American people. General Grant, day by day, proves that the fulsome laudations of Badeau are undeserved. When General Grant dies it will require the most elaborate sepulture to perpetuate bis name. The verdict of posterity will be that the dark mantle of death should have for ever eclipsed all recollection of the man who has been conspicuous as the great debaucher of political morals in this groat Republic. LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. Fruiu our H guUr CorrM|>txl<>ijt. WASHINGTON, I. C., June 27, 1881 President Oarfield returned from the Summer Capital yAterday (Sunday) morning. It i* the general belief here that important removalt from and ap pointment* to otllce were agreed upon while the cabinet otllcer* were with him at hong Branch, and that they will be announced on or about the lat of July. Among those named a* likely to be given position are several extreme radical*, including Win, K. Chandler, whose nomination for Solicitor (leneral wa* so properly rejected by the Senate. It was stated last week that the Treas ury investigation was to go on, but later the committee was stopped in it* labors, and its report locked up in the Secretary's desk. No one can account for this action. Every intelligent Wushingtonian is sure that much un discovered rascality exists in that de partment, as well as in the others. The way to aid and encourage the plunder ers is to pretend to investigate them and suppress the result of the investi gation. Ex-Second Assistant Postmaster (ien eral Brady astonished everybody the other day by asking the Criminal Court of tho District to hasten the grand jury'* uction on his case. He claims that thoso agents o( the Government who were preparing evidence agninst him were giving to the press such jiortion* of it as, unexplained, seemed unfavora ble to him, and that such publication must have a damaging effect upon his case, not only with the public but with the jury which was to try him. It is a fact that the paper which most bitterly condemns Brady is permitted to have a correspondent with the Government detective* in tho room in which they are overhauling the papers at Brady's former office. <>no docs not need to believe in Brady's innocence in order to see that this is very unfair. To con tinue such permission, now that he has pointedly called attention to it, will in evitably bring about a reaction in Brady'* favor. <>f course the court had no power to comply with this request, as the Government has submitted no papers in the case and will not until September. Secretary Kirkwood has just appoint ed to a clerkship in his department a civilized and intelligent young Indian, with the purpose of making an Indian Agent of him after he shall have be come familiar with the duties perform ed by such agent*. The idea is an ex cellent one, and ought to be acted on hereafter, it seem* to me. The West ern Indian* are not so corrupt as the half-breed* in New York, but they are a* numerous and as warlike u* ever, and, with the present system of dealing with them continued in force, promise to continue for many year* to menace advancing civilization. It sewn* proba ble that they would yield more readily and peacefully to the inevitable if the Government was represented in it* dealing* with them by men of their own race. I>ON. The Governor'* Veto of the .Indtrlul Apportionment. STATEMENT Or TIIK REASON* WHICH OPER ATED ON THE EXBCCTIVR KIND A NEW Z I' Diet At. not>r. Frtm th* lUeoH. II AKRISIII EC.. June Hl. —Governor Hoyt late last evening filed bis message veto ing the Judicial Apportionment bill. He also filed with it a plan of organiza tion of a new judicial tody, to be com posed of President Judges throughout the State, which, i* it said, is the sug gestion of a Judge of the Supremo Court. The following i* the veto mes sage and the pdan : KXECITIVECIIAMIIER, HARRISM RU, June 18, I*Bl.—l herewith file in tho office of the Secretory of the Commonwealth, with my objections. Senate hill No. 212; entitled "An Redesignating the judicial districts of the Commonwealth, and providing for the appointment and elec tion of judge* therein, for issuing to ad ditional Judges learned in the law com misions as President Judges, and the manner of fixing the terms of Court therein." Thi* bill has been passed in pursancs of .Section 14 of the schedule of the Constitution. Only such objection* a* are founded upon ila want of conformi ty to the organic law or iu violation of a settled public policy should be allow ed to prevail against it. Under statute* existing at the opening of the present session there were in commission in the State 77 Judges of the Courts of Common I'leas and orphans' Court* learned in the law. With this act the number would be increased toSfi. Since the year 1874 the countiesof Blair, But ler, Cambria, Clarion,Clearfield, McKean snd Tioga have become, by virtue of their increase of population, "separate judicial districts, and the office of As sociate Judge therein would cease upon the expiration of tho commissions ol the present incumbents. Owing, however, to the peculiar arrangement of these counties in their districts in the exist ing apportionment, the necessary in crease of Judges from this cause would le but three. In the counties named this increase would be required by the positive mandate of the Constitution, over which there is of course neither legislative nor executive control. If any large discretion was left under the Constitution to the lawmaking power in the designation of the several judicial districts, it might be said that thia bill is as nearly right aa any likely to be made. But a decisive point baa been reached on this question; and if errors have been made in the past in failure to comply with the fundamental law or sound policy, no moi'e favorable oppor tunity for revision ami correction than the present will occur. There tin now a universal recognition of the inexped iency of the great increase of .fudge* in the Courts of Common Plea*, hinder ing tiieir efficiency and eflecting the dignity of the judicial office; and by im posing duties and labor* upon them in many of the district* far within reason alile requirements upon their time and ability, tending to lower the public es timate of their function*. The number of I,aw Judges in Pennsylvania exceed* the number of the Judges in all the Courts of the United States, and the salaries of the Judge* in the Slate ex ceed the Halariea paid the Supreme Judges, the Circuit Judges and the I>i*- trict Judge* of the United States by more than SIOO,OOO, annually. If any tendency to impolitic and inconvenient results exist* in the judiciary article of the Con*titution, we can, at least, mini mize the mischief by a rigid adherence to the definition* and limitations of the article. The rules of apportionment which are prescribed are found in Art. V. Sec. .'> of the Constitution us follows : "Whenever a county shall contuin lu.iss I inhabitant* it shall constitute u separate judicial district, and shall elect one Judge learn ed in the law ; and the tieneral Assem bly shall provide for additional Judges AS the business of the said district* may require. Co inties containing ti popula tion less than is sufficient to constitute separate districts shall be formed into convenient single districts, or, if neces sary, may be attached to contiguous districts, as the Heneral Assembly may provide. The office of Associate Judge not learned in the law is abolished in counties forming separate districts ; hut the several Associate Judges in office when this Constitution shall he adopted shall serve for their unexpired terms." The analysis of this section by Chief Justice Agtiew, in Commonwealth ex rel. Chase vs. Harding, >'< Norri*' lie ports, 351, to the extent to which it goes may be accepted a* strictly accurate. He says: "Under this section theorgan i/ation of separate districts consisting of a sin>;lr county and that of single ilis trict* composed of tntral counties is different, the former having hut one Judge, who holds all the Court* alone, ami additional / Judge* when neces sary for the dispatch of business, the latter having three Judges, one of whom, the President, is learned and the other two not learned in the law, the President being a Judge of every coun ty of his district and the Associates of only one county." According to this judicial exposition, the first division of the section constitutes counties contain ing 4*>.e unit ed together to form convenient "tin r/e ditlr .-lt" or ciittrt 't with e-ic 7/jic .hi I './<• to each. The explanation i* properly ad ded that the Law Judge of a single dis trict will oil with two unlearned Associ ate* in each county of hi* district, be cause *uch A**ociate* are allowed to all counties of the second cla, ore-untie* below 40.tXXr, bv the third diri*ion of the section. When totbe*e particular* we add that where necessity shall re quire it. in order to complete an appor tionment, a county of the second class may be "attached'' to a ronligou* sepa rate county district (4 t'onv. leb., 255, fi ib.. 503), a general riewof the section in all its principal divisions is made complete. The present bill designates each coun ty in the State oyer 40.000 in popula tion as a separate county district, and so tar. beyond all question, conform* to the Constitution; and its addition of Law Judges in some of thee districts i* also an exercise of valid power. So also it* attachment of Potter rounty to the Tioga district is authorised by the second division of the Constitutional section. Rut its creation of separate county districts from counties of small population raise* a question of serious import and challenges the construction of the sth section of the sth article of the Constitution above stated. Can a county of le*s population than 40,000 be made "• separate district." This queation appears to be answered by the text of the Constitution itself: "Counties containing a population less than is sufficient to constitute separate distticl* shall be formed," Ac. A* those words immediately follow the provision relating to counties above 40,000, the conclusion ira neresary one that they relate to and embrace counties of les* population than 40,000, and they plain ly declare the counties to which they iio refer to be "insufficient" for consli. luting "separate districts." That these words embrace all counties under 40,000 appears from the fact that they are general, and that no other description of counties is afterward indicated in this section. The section embrace* all the counties of the Commonwealth, a* signing each to a class, and in its classi fication exhaust* all the territory of the State. No condition is stated in the section upon which a county of the "single district" class can past into the "separate district" class, except by its increase of population to 40,000, An examination of the Convention debate* will show that it was intended by that body that counties falling be low the minimum of population requir ed for separate diatricta were "to be united together," or "attached to coun ties adjoining them." (6. Con. Ieb. 483 493. | And the history of amend ment* proposed in convention by Mr. Craig, of Lawrence, and Mr. Mann, of Potter, and which led up to the Purvi ance amendment, ultimately adopted, is in the same line of evidence as to Convention intent and purpoee. [4 Con. Deb., 151 7. | It may be aaid that by the Judicial Apportionment act of 1874 several coun ties which were under 40,000, according to the oenaui of 1870, were made tepa rate county districts, namely : Adams, Beaver, Is-Uwnre, Indiana and Susque hanna. But that apportionment wa* not made under the fourteenth section of the schedule to the Constitution, a* the present and all future one* will be. It was inade under the thirteenth sec- I lon of the schedule, and could be hie-ed upon the eatiuiated population of coun ties in 1H74. The Legislature wan not to be controlled by a four year old cen sus, but by existing numbers, of which the Legislature itself was to judge. The present apportionment, however, must he made upon the actual figure* ascertained by the decennial census of INKO. The counties of Beaver, Hreene, Jefferson, Lawrence and Lebanon, ac cording to that census, each contain a population of less than 40,000 inhabi tants. By this bill each of these coun ties is made a separate judicial district. If the foregoing reasoning is correct these districts are illegally constituted, an demand. Ifaxav M, HOTT.

It could be so arranged that these intermediate Courts should sit twice a year, at such place as they may from time to time elect: the Pro thonotary of the Court of Common I'leas of the county where the Court may sit to be the o Hospital Seeded.
