Eleetion of Judges by the People
,
. The subject or Electing Judges by a direct rote
or the People, is attracting general attention all
over the country.,ThisrefOrro has heen adeptCd by
severalptates, anclworks admirably. The question
is now ‘befovethe Legislatures otmany tithir states,
and appears-to 'meet. with great favor:-WerArerev !
ly hope that the Legislitureef Venniylvartia will not
adjourn, without adopting thil important measure.
The 'general.ioice of the People, of all parties; is
in its favor. The candidates 'for judicial offices,
says the Editor of that escellent paper, the Louis
villa Democrat, in an ablea article On this subject,
I • •
would:of course be confined to the legal profession;
.
, amEwmhere stated a fact known teal}, that no Class
. .
at men i assfairly. estireateChy ther whole, public,
as that of lawyer. They stand before the public
upon theirmrits end deuferits, properly estimated;
'and %Se •not see tliarputili 'sentiment would be
.likely to commit ant serious errors in choosing a
judge. Liu* suppose the electors err; they, have the
beat ziglit tMerr; and the evil would be no more se
rious, oi of more frequent occurrence, dine in either
of thaether modes. .
Indeed, we think that popular suffrage on this point
.would make a great and salutary change.. The way.
to make a man independent, na far as indiPendence
is a virtue, is to•make lion responsible to the popu
-hir verdict. lie will then be vigilant andicautinusi.
knowing that a thousand eyes are upon him, and
that his acts will undergo a thorough scrutiny, and
that his only defensible position is that of stern, in
flexible justice. Give us fur the judicial office good
salaries. limited tenures, and popular elections, and
onr coorta . will be indeed courts of justice. We
shall have -no indolence, or euperanuated twaddle
from the bench. . . We shotAd then hat, a hope for
the 'reform :of abnses'in our laws. We should have
. . .
vigilant, active men on the bench, who could point
out by experience when off the bench what the law
should be, ma well as to decide on the bench what it
is.: We think. it would diffuse new life into this de.
partmentOf our government, greatly to the benefit

The first thing, that came up , out of .the bu

judicial sales or estates for life." This ,of more
importance to the interests of certain personsin our
county, than mfdts the eye. Dr. Carothers and oth
ers of our good people are mach interested in the
defeat of thisperoiciou - s Measure. There was much
excitement, and great exertions were lased both for
and against. Mr. Snively„ from our county, worked
hard, tiotlr late and early, and in company with your
obedient servant, that assisted all he .knew how, to
defeat this scheme of fraud. Dr. Carothers is much
indebted to Messrs. Snively, Laird and other friends,
fur their undifided attention; and ;wheat it is taken
into consideration that there ate several 'gentlemen I
borers here advocating the passage of the bill, using
every effort and. l inducement that the ioge - nuity. of
man could devise-it was au extraordinary effort,—
but they are headed for the present; and when the
grand attack cornea, we stand ready to defeat them,
and can and will do it.

act shall be held and deemed to have forfeited the
charter of tiny 'company so offending ; and any pri

Stevint 2. That it shall not be lawful for any

and were as follows, viz

So the question was det6rmined in the negative.
A, third seam' was offered by Mr. Hugus, mak
ing it a misdemeanor in any officer or agent of a
municipaj,corporation, to issue shinPlasteri,and sub•
meeting them to imprisonment therefor, which was
agreed to, and the bill then passed.
Pity that the cloims of the factory hands Were not
deemed worthy of n place in ,the bill. The Truck
system is more pernicious than that denounced by
this bill.
Front Cho -Portage. Sentinel, (Raveima, Ohio.)
Mean and Tyrannt c al.
On the first page of OUT paper will be found a glow
ing account of n, base attempt on the part of certain
factory lords of Pittsburgh to enslave the yoer girls
in their employ, by compelling them, because they
were poor and needy, to wear thernselveif hut in the
employ of their tyrannical:masters, by requiring
them to labor within the walls of a flictory twelve
and fourteen hours a day, when a law passed express_
ly for the " protection of labor," by the Legisla
ture of Pennsylvania, last - wintei, provides that ten
hours shafl constitute.a day's labor; and beaus
the girls resisted the oppression, and refused to bow
their necks to the yoke Of the oppressors, had them
incarcerated within the walls of a gloomy duqgeon.
Not content with these petty exhibitions of tyranny,
they have since been endeavoring to break down the
Post, the able acid' fearless democratic paper of that
city; for'having sympathized with the opprcssed and
persecuted girls, and for standing up and ably and
firmly advoctietoi the right's _ and "interests of labor
again •t the efforts of combined capital to oppress it.
The whig papers of Pittsburgh have joined the manu
facturers in their crusade against the poor factory

ROWS IN TUC Serum AND TIIEIIOIISE-1100/tt.
ANT MEASIIUES ACTED ON.—The report of the Oa
eeedings of the close or the second session of the
thirtieth Congress, which will be found on Or
fourth page, is replete with interest; though -t'2.'. Will
be seenAhat three of those mortifying seenesef
lance have .again desecrated the hour of.CangtOss;
and that blued has beenypilt within the 'Mote 0/..
legislation
A ddrictilly t it Seems; 4k/ occurred between fr.
Giddings, of Ohio, andAlr. Meade, of Va., whilh,
althoughlD C4lieg som.e disturbance, did not proc ed
to personal violence. This or:ginated; we belieke,
iti ieference•ta the territorial , question and the,Vifil
mot proviso. The row occurred at a very
late.hour, between Robert Wi...Tolineon, of Arkansas;
Orlando. O. Picklin, of:Ohio, and William M. Inies,
of Alabama. Mr. Fieklin.,called -Mr. Johnsod a
puppy," when be semis to have - been justly :at
tacked by M. Johnson and Mr, Inge, the
atriking him with ii,cane, which drew blood from the
,
head with which it came in com Met. ;. The . Gaulle, •
Shortly after, adjourned, asordercould nolongeribe
preserved. • • -
The Senate was also disgraced by a scene ofsonlie
what the same character, between Mr. Canaeronj of
Pennsylvania, and Mr. Fliate, of Mississippi—the
latter receiving a blow In his face from the formkr,
as a retort to some offensive personal remarks.
The business transacted during the day and night,.
itxnvrll be seen, was quite iraportant. The bill crea.
ting a Nome , 'Department' ot the Government, was.
passed by the Senate, iind received the Presideqtts
signature, as did olso.the Gold Dollar bill, which al-'
so provides for the coinage - 0f gold $2O pieces.
The California question seemed lobe the exciting
topic of debate up almost to the hour of adjourment
in both Houses, but all the measures proposed tor
providing egovernmelbt for Califunna ' CiVll, or Toili;
tary, were finally dropped, and' the bills to' which
they had been attached passed. California and New
Mexico, must, therefore, remain without any ,ottier
government than they now :have, 'unless' the Presi
dent should deem himself authorized in sant on his
own responsibility in the matter. •
A variety of other important measures were acted
upon, which will be found duly recorded—neither
'louse adjourning tiff long I fter midnight. :
The debate on abolishing flogging is the Navy,
closed with the following noble. sentiments from
Mr. Benton, a'cribn who is always to be found on the
•do of justice and humanity. ..
" I am not in favor of scourging American .citi
zees. Allman citizen could not be scourged, and
I believe an American citizen is 011111 high an order
of men as were Roman citizens.. Roman citizens
were employed both by sea and byland, in the ar
my and in the navy, and, there was no scourging.;
that was reserved for Slaves, for barbarians, for those
below the dignity of a Roman It may be said that
some persons are bad enough to be whipped, but
question if whipping will eireet a *ohm. I alai , '
question if it is worth white to make the °tricorn of
the navy the instruments or agents to correct the:in
corrigible part of mankind. It is better, sir, to get
them out of the navy and have' nothing to do with
them. I feel a deep mortifiCation, air, in edeing
.anact---one who is brave—one who, will dio in de
fence of his.country, either in the army .or navy=
tied up and flogged. I feel humiliated, sir, by such
a spectacle; and I should like to have the subject
properly examined."
