'TIIE JUDICIARY.
Every good citizen is interested in main
Ptaining, the high standard of the judiciary.
and ir„ keeping it as far as possible from the
sphere.of political influences. But like
men', y 'other good thingsit is possible to over
eat", leale , even the high (Mice of a judge, and
to B: , arround it with an atmosphere' of -sanc
tity mere name Of judge a
!hi Ikg tOvimmactilate to be approached by the
.Pe Thisds carrying a proper treverence
fo 4 die Judicial• office to an absurd extreme.
7 ,Iktere.itr a case in point now agitating the
I aindiresorne people, in regard to the late
q.deetiontitkPennsylvania.
• 4teirevell known that gross frauds were
Ziainted to by the , Democratic managers to
secure the election of Judge `Sharswood to
' ;-Itheanpreme bench. - Nobody supposes, fora
lanoteent, that the , candidate himself
"had anything to do with these
miscalities, • but nobody can reasonably
-.doubt that his only ' claim to the
.seat rests upon the tact . that there were
tough fraudulent -votes cast either di
-sectly for -him, or indirectly, in the
'struggle to elect the city ticket,
to overcome the lawful majority of his oppo
nent. Bit` although this fact is scarcely
- questioned . by any one; the doctrine is peing
advanced that the seat of Judge Sharswood
- +laud• not be. contested, because the law re
quires the case to be tried by the Legislature,
and 'therefore it would be bringing the ques
tion of the judiciary within the influence of
politics. One .of the highest judicial autho
rities in the State is privately quoted as ex
pressing the strong opinion that Judge Wil
liams "would cut off his right hand, before
be would be a party to such a contest."
It is difficult to conceive of a more dan
gerously anti-republican doctrine than, this.
The laws of Pennsylvania provide expressly
for contesting the election of a judge of the
Supreme Court. They prescribe a method
for conducting such a contest which sur
rounds the trial with as complete safeguards
as if it were tried by the Supreme Court of
• the 'United States. The laws governing the
case were passed by a Democratic Legisla
ture, and are as little liable to abuse as any
„system. trf investigation - which can be ima
gined. Why, then, should not Judge Wil
liams contest this seat? Judge Sharswood's
high personal and professional position has
' :"aathingwhatevalto do with the case, 'for he
is not held to be a conscious party to'the
fraud. If the law has been grossly violated,
Judge Williams has no right to consult per
sonal feeling or professional delicacy in the
case. . His. duty is, rather to "cut off his
right band" before be will allow . the
law, of which' he is a sworn minister,
; to be violated with impunity. The
notion that because • an office . t is a
high one, it is above the reach of law, and
the notion that it may be a bad precedent to
- contest the election of a Judge of the Supreme
court are both most pernicious. They grow
out of an, excessive sentimentality about the.
prerogatives of the judiciary.' In the Church
there have been times when arrogant prelates
have boasted that they would "make it hard
to try a bishop," and they, have more than
once made their boast good. But in the State
the laws are designed to cover the creat as
well as the small, and whig the 6oint of
Quarter Sessions properly sends an Alms
house pauper to jail for being a party to this
very fraud in the Fourth Ward, the Legisla
-ture is bound to look higher and to meet its
grave responsibilities by so conducting the
investigation of the late election as• to pro
tect the laws of the State from such gross
Judge Williams is not the man we believe
.him to he, if he will permit any personal
.consideration to influence him in the way of
.obstructing the contest of Judge Sharswood's
seat. The popular belief as that frauds enough
were perpetrated by the Democratic mana
gers to secure Judge Sharswood's majority
and a good many thousands to spare. Should
43 legal investigation fail' to expose these al
leged frauds, men may adopt what hyppthe
' ais they prefer as to their actual existence.
._, But that such investigation should be
smothered hecause a seat upon the supreine
bench is something too exalted to be
approached even by the power that makes
'the laws, is a doctrine which tends to degrade
'tither than to exalt the standard of the judi
ciary in the eyes of the people. If those who
are investigating the subject of the, alleged
Jrandsere reasonably satisfied that they really
';•exist, by all means let the right of Judge
tilharswood to his seat be properly tested, and
et consequences take care of themselves.
We heartily commend the views expressed
by Judge Ludlow, yesterday, in sentencing a
saiserable pauper for fraudulent voting. They
were such sentiments as every one supposed
.„ 2 0 j;tadge Ludlow to entertain. And it is to be
hoped that the Judge may yet be gratified in
Ida desire to "have the men before him who
stood behind the primmer and urged him on."
Soule of these men are undoubtedly well
knewn in the Court of Quarter Sessions, and
it he co-operation between Judge Lud
and'other officers or the law would prob
ably result in such an interview as he yester
;lay desired. In common with every judge
who strives to do his duty, Judge Ludlow
will alsiays find the heartiest support from
every law-loving and law-abiding journal and
private citizen. It is the duty of the judi
. teary, to go down even to such 'friendless
pauper criminals as the one convicted yester
day; and it is no less its duty to see that even
rue judiciary itself is not set upon such a
pinnacle, that the very laws which it adminis
sets must stand back in awed deference, and
come not near to question the prerogatives of
the pdse upon the bench.
yesterday, about noon, some papers - in one
comer of an office at Sixth •and Walnut
weds , took fire through carelessness in
boding a cigar.: The flames were soon. dis
covered and extinguished with the aid of
buckets, and nobody half a dozen doors frOm

then came the Usual scene of disorder and
ennfusion. All the fire companies in First,
&cond. and Third Fire districts were put in
motion, and from 'the Delaware to ; the
Schuylkill, Aid frem League Island to Green
street, every engine, belie -carriage and hook
anti-ladder truck were turned loose. Steam
ers drawn by spirited horses Aushed , through
the streets vomiting smoke and sparks, -
leaving a trail of fire behind them, and.
threatening with destruction every vehicular;
thing that erne in their way ; 11061 F.-and-.
ladder trucks were worked aroiind
corners 'with „difficulty, and , they
put in constant peril all the window
and carriage glass that-came Within range of
their long ladders and protruding hooks and
Holes; while ardent young men ran 'them
selves out of breath and into a condttion
of
exhaustion, in dragging hose-carts, for dozens
of squares to -a spot where there had been
seine loose papers burned half an hour before.
While the firemen were thus driving pell-meal
to a' common centre like a division of cavalry
and a regiment 'or two of artillery, going to
attack a - rebellious poodle-dog,: and dragging
after them mechanical appliances that would
almost have been sufficient to subdue the
great, fire of London when it was at 'its full
height, there were other scenes of disorder as
an incident 'of the great primary stir. All the
idlers in town rushed madly to the centre of
attraction,' bent on witnessing the fierce pro
gress of imaginary flames and anxious to be
promptlyon hand when the first wall should go
crashing to the earth; those birds of ill-omen
who are known to the police as professional
thieves hoVered about like buzzards that
scented carrion, and they were as ready to
pilfer the. jewelry or spoons of an alarmed
and imperilled housekeeper as to pick the
pocket of an unsuspicious spectator. Row
dies Who were "spoiling for a fight" were on
hand, ready and anxious to jostle or run their
bull-heads into every person whom they
could insult and outrage with imminity.
women shrank timidly into sheltering
doorways to escape the rout and
confusion; street cars were blocked
up upon their tracks; the occupants of hacks
and carriages, finding themselves involved in
the general turmoil, became alarmed, and the
horses sharing the alarm fell upon the smooth
stones, and, while injuring themselves, added
to the disorder and confusion of the hour.
Business was stopped, disorder reigned su
preme, and all because an alarm of -fire was
given some minutes after a conflagration
among an armful of loose papers had been
subdued with the aid of a few buckets of
water.
This is no fancy picture; but sober, simple
truth, as any one who was abroad at the time
we speak of can bear testimony to. That
such a condition of things should exist in a
great city is simply a monstrous absurdity;
an absurdity that nothing but the sanction of
long usage could reconcile the public to .en
dure for a moment. We have nq fault to
find with the firemen for running to fires or
to alarms of fire, for it is an important part
of the exciting occupation which
they delight in; the idlers ' are not
censurable for running to sep the sights.
for curiosity and the love of excitement are
natural ; the thieves only embrace the
most favorable opportunity of plying their
rascally trade when they join in the grand
rush and scramble; the rowdies simply obey
their savage instincts when they join in a
run forthe sake ofn fight, and the horses are
not to be blamed for becoining frightened at
the unearthly din and attempting to escape
.fromlt by running away. But these facts
furnish no substantial reasnn why the entire
city should be thrown into confusion because
a firethat was extinguished with a bucket of
water has taken place.
.The fault lies in our city laws and ordi
nances, which, either by omission or com
mission,tolerate this condition of things. The
remedy is a simple one, and if this remedy
was 'applied, the work of extinguishing'fires
would be performed as any other police duty
is performed. Under proper regulations, and
with the aid of 'the Fire Alarm Telegraph, a
single , engine and hose-tender would . have
been ordered to the scene of the fire of
yesterday, and the fact of more aid
being needed could readily have been
communicated by the same agency, With
a strict exclusion of all unnecessary
Persons from the fire-ground there would be
no inducement for idlers and thieves to hurry
to the scene of afire, and this feature of the
great evil would be broken up. The authori
ties, for reasons of their own, hesitate to ap
ply this obvious remedy.. We implore them
.---and in this appeal all orderly and quiet
citizens will join—at least to afford the corn
munity
, 1
partial relief by greatly restricting
the limits of the fire-districts, and by rigor
onsly excluding from the immediate neigh-_
borhood Hof a conflagration all persons whose
serene is uncalled for and unnecessary.
"'ESN ASQ)WiItE.
After a wearisome blibusteridg,by the op
ponents of the measure, Common Council
yesterday ,passed the ordinance of Select
Council asking such legiilation as is neces
sary to devote Peun Square to the uses of the
great scientific, literary and art i u.titutions
of the •city. This ii a most important move
in the night dire,ction. Perm Square, which
is, in its present condition, of no possible use
to anybody, may thus be made to son=
tribute greatly to the beautifying of
Philadelphia and the pi °motion of literature,
science
,and art, The concentration of a
number of handsome public buildings, such
as the Academy of Natural Sciences, the
Academy of Fine Arts, the Franklin institute
and others in that central position will add
much,not only to the adornment of our finest
avenue, but to the general attractions of
Philadelphia.• The prosperity of a city depends
in large measure upon its advantages
in attracting and retaining strangers, and
Philadelphia is confessedly' dedcient in this
respect. The Penn Square project is calcu
lated to give a fresh stimulus to all these
great institutions, and the whole community
will reap the benefit. We trust that the Le
gislature will respond promptly to the request
of Councils, and that this most desirable plan
for the improvement of our city will be car
ried out at an early day.
When Congress bestowed the right of suf
frage upon the freedmen in the lately rebel
lious 'States, the belief was freely expressed
that the new voters would be too ignorant to
know"how
- to cast their suffrages, and that
they would probably be led by the nose by
their old mastere. The result of the Virginia
elections showi that the . darkies axe not so

COLONIZATION OF WET MlCA.—While a
warlike British expedition is about to enter Abys
sinia, in East Africa, a peaceful conquest of West
Africa is being made by the stream of colored
migrants from the Lnited Staten. Abyssinia
and Liberia are situated on almost the same de
=of latitude, but on opposite sides of the
an continent. The large packet ship Gol
conda will leave Baltimore November 2d, touch
ing at the port of Charleston, and take three hun
dred emigrants, chiefly for Grand Bean coanty,in
Liberia. Of course the emigration is voluntary.
Such has been the desire to reach Africa that
some aged persons, over one hundred years old,
have Joyfully accompanied their families. The
American Colonization Society having founded a
Christian Republic in Africa, has furnished an
opening for reaching the interior of that mat
and almost unknown continent. The portion of
thlasuggo of emigrants from Philadelphia will be
rimown as the "Lincoln Company. No. 3." Arti
cles of clothing, books and utensils of all kinds
will be welcome, if sent to the office of the Penn

New GERMAN THEATER.-!1 nines-meeting of
Germans in favor of the movement for the erec
tion of a new Theatre, was held last evening, at
Mechanics' Hall,
.No. 534 North Third street.
About 400 persons were present. Dr. Demme
presided. Subscriptions amounting to $1.i,050
were received. The total amount subscribed
during the past three weeks is about $35,000, all
in small sums. Among those who subscribed
butt night were 72 persona who had merely
dropped in at the meeting. A great interest is
taken in the enterprise by our German citizens,
and it bids fair to be a complete success. It Is
proposed to erect a building which will be an or
nament to the city, and be of sufficient capacity
for first-class performances. The estimated cost
will be about $lOO,OOO, and the Theatre will be
located between Cailowbill and Chestnut and
Third and Twelfth streets. The shares of stft
have been placed at $lO, payable in four install
ments, and none of the money Is to be collected
until the entire amount required is subscribed.
Fr rs CATTLE.—Pennsylvania is actively en

young bull, from yearliug - 8 to two years old,
young cows and heifers of various colors, white,
roan and red. They were bred by Mr. James,
Gowen, of Mount Airy, who has, since the close.
of the war, forwarded South a large number of
tine cattle. The cattle that left yesterday tire
urgently needed by farmers in the Shentuidoah

WAstrutoxox, Oct.. 20.-,—The Retrenchment
Comritittee Is still examining witnesses connected
with the operations of
,the Currency Bureau of
the Treasury Department, but they have not pro
gressed far enough to ascertain anything defi
nite concerning the condition of . affairs.
Their main inquiry at present is directed to the
amount of currency issued and the number and
character of the bonds printed. Secretary
McCulloch has not yet been officially in
formed of the desire of the Committee to have
S. M. Clarke suspended during the investigation
of his Bureau, and from this it is certain the
parties have Concluded that no action has
been taken by the Committee on the spbjeet;
this is a mistake. The Committee has discussed
the matter, and the majority of them are in favor
of Clarke's suspension for the reasons given in
these despatches yesterday.
The Ordnance Committee have decided to hold
no meeting until next Wednesday. A letter from
Gen. Logan states that he has been confined to his
room by inflammation of the lungs, rendering his
presence here to attend meetings of the commit
tee at present impossible, but at the earliest prac
tical moment when his health will permit travel
ing, he may be looked for.
The SA-Judiciary Committee are in session
examining a number of witnesses to-day, but
the nature of the evidence elicited cannot be as
certained, owing to secrecy being enjoined on all
the members of the Committee.
Sr. Lo c'ts, Oct. 25. -- Letters and telegrams
from Medicine Lodge Creek, Kansas, say that the
grad council of Indians commenced on the 19th,
when Senator Henderson explained the object of
the council and the desires of the Govern
ment. Nothing definite resulted, all
the tribes not being represented. &-
tants, head chief of the Kiowas, the leading
man of the Southern Indians, expressed his ob
jection to leaving the plains and bking confined
to the reservations. He claims all south of the
Arkansas river as belonging to the Kiowas and
Camanches,and does not want to give any away.
Next day, however, the ) Kiowas and Ca
manches made a treaty with the Commissioners,
the provisions being the same as those of the
treaty made on the Little Arkansas two years
ago, with the exception that an agricultural re
servation is set apart for theftt on the main
branch of the Red River near the Washita Moun
tains, where those can go who chose, and are
permitted to hunt on their ancient lagds south of
the Arkansas River.

houses like the whites, but finally signed the
treaty.
The Arrapahoes were to meet the Commis
sioners on the 22d, and the Cheyennes on the
25th, in separate councils.
' Satisfactory treaties will probably be made
with all the Southern Indians.
Senator Henderson would leave for St. Louis
on the 25th, but the other commissioners will re
main seveial days longer.
The Oeages arrived at the council on the 20th,
from their agency. They lay some complaints
before the Commissioners.
