Additional Judges ier Philadelphia—An Interview on the subject. A Cominittee of six members of the Phila.- - delphia bar and a Committee of City Coun cils have had an interview with this Finance Committees and members of the,Philadel phia Delegation in the Legislature, the object being to urge the appointment of two additional law Judges in Philadelphia, and to increase the salaries of the Philadelphia Judges, and the Judges of the Supreme Court. Mr. Edward Shippen mentioned the great amount of work required to be performed by the Common Pleas Judges, and stated that their - nay . was entirely. inadequate. They should receive not Isis than 0,000 per annum to meet the actual expenses of living in Philadelphia, a city Whose rates for ne cessary articles of household consumption were one hundred and fifty per cent. higher than those of Boston, Albany or N. York. The late Judge Oswald Thompson had ac quired no property, and had left his faintly no income. Judge James Thompson, of the Supreme Court, had actually spent 411,000 from his private funds, since his appointment, in ad dition to his salary. In 1843, when Phila delphia•had a population of but 250,000, six judges were required to . do much less work than is now required of three judges. One week before the late Judge Thompson died be worked until three o!clock in the mor ning to close up the business of the day. A discussion 'ensued- as 'to, ; the pay of Judges in New York, Mr.Bigha.m asserting positively that they receivediess than those in Philadelphia, although admitting, in re ply to. Mr. Ruddiman, that their number was greater. Mr. Connell said that those of Pennsylvania were of a different character frOra•,the Judge McCtums, of New York. Mr- Shippen, explained the labor required of Supreme Court Judges and the cost of their travelingexpenses, and asked for them a eatery of .$6,000 per annum. Mr. Gustav Itemak urged that the people and members ;of the Bar were united in de siring increased salaries and additional Judges. The committees sent from Phila delphia represented both citizens and law yers. The untimely death of Judge Thomp son bad awakened public attention to the absolute necessity of reducing the labor of the Common Pleas Judges, who seated all day in foul, corrupted air, were obliged to work far into the night to dispase of the bu siness before them. The matter simply resolved itself into the question whether incompetent men should become judges at less than living salaries, or whether competent and talented gentle men should be allowed an income sufficient to enable them to occupy the bench without pecuniary sacrifice to themselves. The labors of the judiciary had been increased by numberless acts of the Legislature. Mr. Remak then alluded to the recent appoint ments by the Governor, stating that they met the entire approval of the Philadelphia Bar. Mr. James Lynd, President of Select Council, representing the people, expressed their willingness to bear their share of the additional expense, but insisted that the matter was not one that could be measured by, dollars and cents, but that it was one affecting the honor .and integrity of the ~Commonwealth. A second, or third-rate lawyer could at present earn more in the exercise of his profession than was received by a Common Pleas Judge. The city of Philadelphia was about erecting new ac commodations for her judges, at an expense which would probably reach $70,000. Mr. W. Retch Wistar urged that the present salaries of the Judges were not equal to those obtained by men of inferior talent, who occupied stations in incorporated companies. Mr. Eli R. Price delivered an eloquent and pointed address on behalf of the in creased salaries, and in favor of, two addi tional law Judges. The Committee of Ways and Means of the senate and House have the matter under consideration. ACCident on theilloomfield Railroad—One Man Billed and Several-Injured. Nzwe.ux, N. J., Feb. B.—The train from Mont Clair, on the Bloomfield Railroad t ran off the track, near a bridge, this morning, breaking one passengers car to pieces. Milton Holt, aged twenty-two years, was instantly killed, and Joseph A. Davis, Jr., Joseph Doremus, Sarmiel Arbuthnot, the conductor, 'Van Wyck Graham and others were injured. - - SECOND DISPATCH. - - - J., Feb. B.—The details of the railroad: accident near Bloomfield,N. J., state that the train broke through a rotten bridge. Some of the cars fell into the creek, and one was completely shattered against a stone foundation of the bridge. One man was killed, as before stated, Milton Holt, of Mont Clair. Those injured were Joseph Davis, of Bloomfield, very serionsly;Joseph Doremus, of Mont Clair, severely bruised; Tan Wyck Graham, teller of the Plicenix. Bank, head injured; Mr. Brodigan, of Mont Clair,bruised,head and body; S. Arbuthnot, the conductor, severely bruised; a newsboy named. Owens, was considerably injured. Many others were hurt, but not seriously The coroner's jury are investigating the affair. • The train consisted of an engine, tender, tour passenger cars and baggage Euidsmok ing car. It was running at comparatively high speed down a ninety feet grade, though the ,engineer was breaking up to stop at Bloomfield. The speed carried the engine over the bridge. The tender caught in the somewhat damaged bridge; and broke the passenger car, the tracks and wheels of which fell. The swiftness of the train and coupling of the tender dragged the rest of the cars to solid ground.- - The second passenger carwas hurled end wise from the track, striking a stone abut ment of the bridge and wrecked. The baggage car, which was next, fell into tile creek. The other two cars remained par tially on the -bridge, and partially on the track. The bridge was only forty feet long. Young Holt's head was severed from his body, and his remains were terribly man gled. It is miraculous that nobody else in the second car was killed. Forth Carolina—Election at Nowhere.— ion Victo. NEWBERNi 'Un ry N. C. Feb. B.—The regular Union ticket was victorious to-day at the city election by 52 majority. The contest was a warm and exciting one, and the vote the largest ever wiled this city. Teams have been running, with American flags flyingduring the day. All the Northern and Southern men are jubilant. WirmirreroN, N. C., Feb. B.—Orders have been received here to immediately discon tinue the Military District of Wilmington. Brevet Brigadier General Goff, command ing. is ordered to report to command his regiment;the 37th (colored) United States regiment, with headquarters at Sinithville. A military post is retained here, garri soned by four companies of the 28th Michi gan- regiment, Captain Purinton, senior officer. But three regiments of infantry are now remaining in the State, two colored and one white. It is thought that this Department will soon be merged into that of Virginia or South Carolina.

[From the Richmond Republicb" • The sayings and dciings of a distinguished" political prisoner,during his imprisonment, are ever after a subject of interest. The document below, in the handwriting of the Hon. John M. Botts, was sent us some time since by a gentleman in the ' country, to whom Mr. Botts had given it. It will be found interesting when we remember when are - where it was written. Read it: • Reasons as they Passed Through my Mind on the .Night of the 27th of April, 1862 , as I Lay, after Eight Weeks Solitary nfine , Confine ment in a Negro Jail, as the Causes of my Confinement: Ist. Because I would not aid in breaking up the Union formed by Washington and his compeers, which, from infancy, I had been taught to venerate and adore as the only sheet-anchor of National greatness, Prosperity and freedom. 2d. Because I would not aid in the de struction of the best government the world ever looked upon. 3d. Because I would not aid in bringing civil war, desolation and famine upon my own section of the country. 4th. Because I would not aid in the dis memberment, impoverishment and ruin of My native State,and desolation of the whole South. sth. Because I would not aid in the Slaughter of the hundreds of thouiands that have been and will be sacrificed. sth.' Because I Would not aid inibreaking ug the social ties, and lifelong personal and family intimacies that for generations have existed. 7th. Because I would not aid in making widows and orphans unnumbered and un told. Bth. BeCause I would not aid in turning the instincts, of humanity Into that of Wolves and other brutes. 9th. Because I would not practise a low deception and an unworthy trick, es thbu sands have done, from motives of selfish ness,ambition or fear. 10th. Because I would not adopt for my self, or recommend for others, a policy by which the fruits of a century's labor must be thrown away. 11th. Because I had the firmness to ad here with fidelity to the principles I had cherished, and labored for thirty years to establish, and which my State had just adopted at the polls, but which she re nounced and repudiated at the dictation of a daring and corrupt Democracy. 12th. Because I preferred living tinder a permanent and enduring government, to one that was constructed on the principles of a bombshell, containing the elements of destruction within itself, that sooner or later must explode and leave a wreck be hind. 13th. Because I preferred a government that would protect its citizens and their property, to one that would oppress and rob them. 14th. Because I preferred rational civil liberty, under a constitutional form of government, to a hateful military des potism. 15th. Because I would not sacrifice the best interests of the people, to perpetuate the power of Democracy under a Southern Confederacy, when they had lost it under the National Government. 16th. Because I cared more for the in terests and freedom of the people than I did for their caresses, and tried to take better care of them than they did of them selves. 17th. Because I would not become a rebel and a Traitor to my country, when it had done no wrong to me or my State. 18th. Because I was honest; in earnest, and patriotic when I voted for "the Union and the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws," and will not now stultify my self by repudiating all. 19th, and lastly. Because I was not born either a knave or , a fool. From China and Japan. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. s.—Advices from Hong Kong to the 16th of December state 'that the Northern banditti are still causing much trouble to the Government, whose forces had been defeated and driven toward the Yellow River, where they bad been cut off from communication. Trade in the Provinces of Shantang and Honain, were entirely destroyed by the banditti. Complications are likely to arise between France and China, concerning propagand ism. The French Catholic Missionaries have been driven from their missions, es tablished under the privileges secured by treaty. Foreign vessels continue to suffer from pirates on the Chinese coast. The native cotton crop has generally proved a failure. ,ate advices from Japan state that the Mission of the Ministers of the United States, Great Britain, France and Holland, to demand the opening of Hioga, the chief port of the Inland Sea, had been successful. The Mikado had ratified the treaties en tered into between the Tycoon and the fo reign Governments, admitting japan into comity with other nations. All internal troubles, caused by the pres ence of foreigners, ceased at once, and the quarrels between the Tycoon and Chassir were rendered easy of settlement,' The real power of the Tycoon is now to be acknowledged throughout Japanj The following are the demands made: Ist. The ratification of the treaties made by the Mikado. 2d, The opening of Hioga. 3d. The revision of the tariff. After three days and nights', amid the greatest excitement and preparations for war, and the movements of large bodies of troops, and after the most earnestentreaties of the Tycoon and his representatives, the Spiritual Emperor, the Mikado, yielded his consent. Canada and the Reciprocity Treaty., TORONTO, Feb. B.—The Montreal and To ronto papers express satisfaction that the Provincial delegates have not accepted the terms proposed for the continuation of the Reciprocity Treaty. One paper, the Globe, says: "One happy result of the course adopted by the United States will be the speedy confederation of the British Ameri can Provinces, the absolute necessity of which will be now apparent." With confederation will be carried out the improvement of internal communications, and throwing open lands to free settlement, the gradual reduction of the customs tariff, opening new markets, the vigorous prose cution of fishery arid mineral enterprise, the opening up of the Northwest, the com mencement of an enlarged system of emi gration westward, and a revision of the system of banking and currency. The people of British America need not doubt that brighter prospects in the future are before them. New Jersey Legislature TRENTON, Feb. B.—The Senate held an executive session to-day on the Governor's nominations. George L, Woodfall, of Cam den, was unanimously confirmed as Judge of the Supreme Court. The other nomina tions were also confirmed, except that of H. Newton Conger for Secretary of State. Much dissatisfaction was expressed at the refusal of the Governor to re-nominate Judge Van Dyke, of the Supreme Court, and W, J. Johnson, Secretary of State, while Gummere and Kennedy, Clerk in Chancery and Judge of the Court nif Er rors, were :renominated. 'Mid is said to be the cause Of the failure to confirm conger.. .

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1866. Life ontlie'l 4 ower Border otiTexas—Mabits and. Manners of the Peakkle,'dre.! A correspondent of the Cincinnati Comtnercia/,who accompanied our forces to the Rio Grande, thus 'writes ''from Brownsville, Texas: I can readily comprehend, that a line running through this State, might mark a division between two very different classes of -inhabitants. The one fair representation of the progressive Yankee American, the other the former native Mexican; and it is very probable that the formerconfine themselves tothe rich, river valleys,and that the latter May yet occupy the country between the valleys of the rivers. This- supposition is- cer tainly true of the country between the Rio Grande and the Rio Neuces. The wandering character of thesepeo ple is still a marked element in Weir character. Even here, they are con stantly changing from ranche to ranche, and however comfortable they may be at any one place, if much annoyed or in convenienced, they will load their effects on a wagon or two, and move to some other ranche; where an empty cam in vites the change: There - is no regular renting or moving day. The houses in which these people live are of the most ordinary -character, and such as are never:- 'seen in the North. They are, however,-0f such a style of ar chitecture as the caracter of the people and the climate would indicate; and are but about ohe degree better than an In dian wigwam or a bark hut.. They- are about sixteon feet wide by eighteen or twenty feet long, with a, thatched roofof straw or prairie grass. Occasionally the better class of huts are covered with a material half-way between grass and willows. The sides are made of canes, which are vertically placed, and daubed over with a plastering of mud. These houses have no door, proper, a skin being often hung over the door way. There are seldom any fire-places or chimneys. Sometimes there is raised hearth of adobes (i. e. sun-dried bricks) upon which - fires are built for heating and cooking; but these, I think, are not used, except near the town's where this kind of bricks can be found. It is only during the prevalence of the cold weather that fires are used for warmth and comfort, for the cooking, which is of the least possible quantity, is done in an outside place, usually in the open air and on the ground. These hodses are built in the most temporary manner, and about thus: Two large forks of about twelve or fourteen feet length, are planted two feet in the ground, and from fifteen to twenty feet apart. On these rests a pole, answering to the ridge pole of a house. On each side of these, at equal and suitable distances for the dimensions of the intended hut, are planted two more forks, connected with poles, at a hight of six or seven feet, which answer for the side plates, or sides of the house. These horizontal poles are connected with rude, rough rafters (or substitutes for rafters); large canes are placed horizontally on these rafters for lathing, and the roof covered with a long,why, strawy grass, and held on in bunches, by strings,to the lathing, which latter is held to the rafters by strings also. The sides and ends are then closed by setting canes, or large willows, or small poles (branches) verti cally along those portions, leaving open ings for doors, &c. A coating of mud is usually plastered over these canes, or willows, both inside and outside, which generally completes the house, if it may be so called, All the houses seen are not so fully completed as in the rummer just described. Many houses are not houses, but mere sheds, and many are seen covered in with dry hides, both the roof and sides being closed in, in this manner. This manner of building their houses, taken in connection with their light style of dress, shows a great want of the most ordinary and most usual means of providing for the discomforts caused by changes of weather, which are very fre quent and severe, as well as unheralded, during the winter months. Nearly all the cold experienced is caused by "north ers," and generally comes without warn ing. It is known that they,the northers, will come, and come very cold, yet there are no preparations made to protect the person, except to pick up at the time whatever may ada to the warmth of the persons and during these cold terms the natives live very much as our soldiers used to in the field, making such pro tection against the cold as the means at hand would warrant. Such a sight as a pile of fire-wood is never enjoyed. Large wood is very rarely found. A kind of shrubby growth covers the plain, gene rally about seven feet high, and some thing like a quince bush with us, i. e. branching out from the ground. This growth furnishes but a meager supply of wood. The only available large wood, and the only kind that grows there, is the mesquite tree, which rarely reaches the height of fifty feet, and branches numerously. Occasionally, and under favorable circumstances, this tree grows to a fine and ornamental size, making a beautiful shade. 4 is however, from this tree, which grows near the river and lagoons, that the natives procure the material for building their houses. They must, how ever, work patiently to procure enough straight timber. This wood is not boun tifully distributed. Our wood-choppers have to go some ten miles up the river, and the same distance down, to find it in siflicientquantities to get up a wood chopping; and, owing to the peculiarity of its growth, it does not yield very much prepared fuel in proportion to the labor expended. A chopper, who could put up two and a half to three cords, iu oak timber, can but get a cord cut and racked, in one day, here. A fair load - of wood can be had however, within two or three miles, all limbs and small wood. The wood of the mesquite is very hard; the sap-wood white; the body dark brown, and I should judge, very durable. ' It is remarkable how a people, who are far behind in the civilization and genius of the day and age, are contin ually making useof contrivances applied to accomplish the same ends. A Yankee would have tried in vain to-find some way to carry a barrel of water a mile without animal-assistance, yet I have seen a practical example showing such a thing to be most easily done, thus: take a strong iron bound cask or barrel, and put a cross piece, of two or three inches thickness, on each head, put in each piece an iron phl, with a head which will act as a 'swivel; a rope, attached to the swivel, will enable one Man to draw a barrel, full of the muddiest of the Rio Grand water after him, over, the most difficult ground, rolling it along the ground. , A chain is usually attached to each end of the rope,. to prevent the chafing by the chime of the barrel, which would be fatal to a , rope. Without;the invention or appliances of ! rope •'walks, the natives make most excellent, neat and substantial ropes of horse and goat hair, often three quarters , of an inch in diameter and twenty feet in leneth, for picket ropes and'halters, and others not more than one-quarter or three-eighths of an inch in diameter, for 'bridle reins. These ropes are of excel lent properties, and areffar betterthan 'hempen ones, and when accidentally cut, or _parted otherwise, are tied with a neat, strong knot, such as the oldest sailor might well be proud of, which looks somewhat like a becket knot, but much neater. In the want of a wheel barrow or hand-sled, the native takes a - hide, and having trimmed off the leg parts, loads it on, the flesh side up, and With a raw hide string, draws it and the load as readily as if it were a hand-sled. This is the usual manner of moving dirt. Grass; wood, and other things that can be so carried, are always tied on the back of a jackass, who, with his fam ily are the principal beasts of burden. Mules are used for riding, but do not Seem to be plentiful. Oxen are, how ever, quite numerous, and are used for drawing heavy wagons, most generally yoked in the old-world fashion, that is, With a beam tied to the horns. This is &flab:ay very paitifal, as it prevents the animal -from moving his head. Occa eionally, however, the Yankee method a yoking can be seen in use. The' economy of the old way of yoking is, doubtless the reason of its prevalence. In the town, cuid.- in Matamoras, carts and Mules amused for drayage. The most economical way of marking out and occupying town lots prevails; one that' would leave but a poor chance of getting a living by the most energetic engineer or surveyor. A history of surveys and hind titles would be inter esting if one could only get an insight into them. Any wandering party or a family, ar riving near the town, select an agreeable and satisfactory spot for their habitation, and begin a house of the kind I have described, living under a hide or two or even under theiT wagon, in the mean time, and during the builiing of the house. Having completed the house, or even before, the lot is laid out to range with the street or alley adjacent, and a double row of holes aug around the lot into which crooked posts are set, between the two rows of which brush is forced. .and this completes the fencing, and thus the lot is set oft and the caBa occupied. Probably twenty such establishments have been added to the town of Browns ville in the last six months, and is the sole method of extending the town limits, and these are the suburban estab lishments. There are probably one hundred and fifty to two hundred houses in the town of respectable style: used for stores, warehouses and resi dences, of which not more than fifty are of more than one story high. The town has a very respectable mar ket-house and town hall combined. The market is always open, and meats, and such marketing as the country affords, can be had any day in the week at enor mous prices—beef and mutton being the only supplies purchased at respectable rates—eight cents per pound. Eggs are from fifteen to twenty cents apiece. Potatoes four cents each. Three or four new dwelling-houses have been built this fall; a new school-house, and an addition to the Female Seminary. Both of the latter under Catholic man agement. There is a Catholic, an Episcopal and a Presbyterian Church. The first is the popular religion orthe town. The other two are but sparsely attended, and prin cipally by officers of the army and their families, of whom there are quite a number. These latter add much to the gayety of the town, and some officers of rank have formed a club for the purpose of having a sociable dancing party once each week, at which from twenty to thirty ladies attend, and present a very well-dressed and respectable assemblage of fashion and intelligence. Nearly all the respectable and fashionable ladies, citizens of the town, attend, as well as do the gentlemen, evidently enjoying tho opportunity for amusement and social intercourse. This feature of our army life here is doing more to break down the jealousies usually entertained by the Southern people toward the Yankees than anything that has come under my ebservation, and is gradually bringing the citizens to see that our corps is the best officered and managed troops ever seen in this valley. The army, now and heretofore, has been the civilizer. Shortly after the Mexican war, several families from the North. settled here, and have given to this place all the civilized commercial interest and enterprise, and at this time all the enterprise is due to the presence of the army. A sojourn in this portion of Texas has no charms whatever, as may be gleaned from the general tenor of this letter, and if it were not for the society of the offi cers and their sweet'wives, and the re sulting agreeable features arising from their joint presence, our stay would be scarcely bearable. As it is, many visions and dreams of our Northern homes and happy firesides, with attendant. home comforts and luxuries, jolly and enjoy able amusements and associations, and privileges of an enlightened and Christ ian society , will flit across the mental vision and leave an impress there. Few people are more home devotees than Americans, although the Yankee is a universal presence the world over. To this feature of the Southern people,more than aught else, will be indebted for an early return to their former condition of comfort and well-to-do-ness. The charm of old homes and familiar associ ations, customs and traits, will irresisti bly draw them back to their "habitats." All sensible men know it is only through self-reliance and personal energythat she cess is reached and merit rewarded, which is alsoapplicable to States and nations. They, the leading men of the South, know that they have been justly dealt with, and reason will soon exercise a just sway over prejudice, selfishness and pride, and all the more eAsily when self interest comes to bear.
