Tlie unanimous opinion of the
seven members of the supreme court
of Maine that Governor Uareclon and
his co-conspirators exceeded their au
thority, In trying to sot aside tlie will
of the people, has fallen like a bomb
shell in the Democratic camp, and
there is weeping and wailing in their
wigwams. Tlie would-be usurper has
received a rebuke from the highest
judicial authority of the state that is
not only overwhelming but crushing,
and whieh will teach him a lesson
that he will not soon forget. All the
frivolous objections and technicilitit s
devised by (iarcelon anil his counsel
lors have been brushed away by a
wave of the judicial hand, and they
stand before the country as convicted
thieves, without a possibility of escap
ing the condemnation ami scorn of
those who love justice and denounce
wrong. A bolder piece of rasea'd'y
was never attempted in this count i-;,
and the clearer the crime becomes the
greater will be the indignation of
the people. The spirit of the whole
decision is clearly show in the few r.
marks with which it closes:
This government rests linii the erent con
stitutional axiom Unit nil power Is Inherent
In the people. "It is n t'ovei anient of tli

their natural ami obvious meaniim. Tiiry
are not to be strangled by Idle teehnicalii les
nor Is their nieanina to lie distorted by carp
itW and captious criticism.
It now remains lor Governor Oarcc
lon and his conferees to bow submis
sively to the decree of the court, and
not attempt to oppn,e the highest
judicial authority of the state. If
they refuse to lie governed by the
opinion and advice which they sought
they deserve to be branded as traitors
of the lowest degree, whose acts of
Infamy are without a parallel.
Already two of the counted In sena
tors and three of the members have
declared that they cannot consent to
receive stolen goods, and refuse to ac
cept certificate of election to an ollice
that was not conferred upon them by
the people. It is probable that other
members and senators will follow in
the same cause, and refuse to disgrace
themselves. Verily, (.iarcelon and his
followers have been rebuked more
suddenly and severely than tlie coun
try expected, which shows that Wrong
cannot always triumph at the expense
of Right.
U. S. Judge.
Marcus W.Acheson, Es)., of Pitts
burg, has been appointed U. S. J.ilje
of tlie Western district of Pennsyl
vania, in place of Judge Ketcham
deceased. Our two V. 8. Senatorsand
most of our Congressmen were in
frvor of Judge Williams, but Presi
dent Hayes was. not, and that settled
it. The people of the MeKean district
huveone satisfaction; tli'ey do not lose
a good Judge. Acbeson is a native of
Washington county, and is about
forty-eight years of age. He gradu
ated at Washington College in 1818,
and soon after came to Pittsburg and
studied law in the ollice of George P.
Hamilton, Esq. He was admitted to
practice in I8i2, and was a partner of
Mr. Hamilton until 1807, since which
time lie has carried on business alone
and has been working in the upper
story of bis profession. As a lawyer
he has been unusually successful and
has been counsel in many very im
portant cases Warren Mail.

Congress, by its re-ussembling, gives
us assurance that tlie Union Is safe,
even If In Maine the political cauldron
Is Imlilng at a white heat. Our Semi
tors ami members dropped into their
places on the fit h as quietly and nat
urally as If no long vacation had
Intervened since the last day's work
Mr. Randall cocked his eyeglasses,
squinted his eyes, and threw hack his
head in the manner peculiar to him
self when in the chair, and wcnl
promptly into business. In the Hen
ate the matter-of-fact proceeding
obtained and now Conguess Is in the
harness again for n long pull, as we
think, though wv are promised a short
session by the legislators, ami the
daily I 'out, the leading Democratic
paper hero, is strongly urging, as
national necessity, that Congress ad
journ long prior to the presidential
conventions id Juno. This Is all very
pretty talk, but past, experience, if it
be a criterion, shows that Congress
cannot stop its windmill short of July
15, the first year, no matter what the
country demands. It i - impossible to
expect the passage of the appropria
tion bills till just before adjournment
for so many steals and swindles arc
embraced in them that common pru
dence dictates to those interested the
prolongation of tlie session until
such a time ns an adjournment be
comes a necessity and then drives the
appropriation measures though both
houses under tlie lash o ' baste and
spur of the previous question. Such
has ever been the rule, and we ven
ture the prediction that bsSu, us in
past even years, will require our sum
mer heats and Potomac flats malaria
to force Congress Into rustication.
Tlie residence of ox-Senator Stewart
of Nevada, w;is recently nearly des
troyed by fire. "Castle Stewart," as
it is familiarly called, has been one ol
our curiosities, hence its partial de
struction has excited more than ordi
nary interest. Senator Stewart was
one of tlie so-called "Heal Kstate
Ring," which, purchasing iaryc areas
of vacant grounds in ''West End" in
170, induced the investment, by the
liritisli government, of several hun
d ed thousand dollars in the purchase
of lots from them and erection of a
residence nod ollice for its miuisttr
and embassy. Mr. Stewart followed
wi'.h his cast le, expending on it at
ieast tiiO.Ouo Other luembersinvcsteil
largely in houses, and, as a oonse
iiucnce of their .shrewd nianairement
of capital, so strong an impetus was
given to real estate in that section of
the city that our aristocracy adopted
it as tlie fashion hie quarters, and have
nearly covered it wilh costly resi
dences. Hundreds of acres of com
mons which, during the war, were
occupied only with sparse huts and
shanties of those who herded tluir
cattle and goats upon them as public
pasturages, are now covered witli
stalely dwelling-houses that a plebian
liardiy dare enter on any pretext.
Castle Stewart stands a monument to
mark this change, which has given
Washington its best ornament true
progress and though reverses have
since rendered the Senator bankrupt,
and sent him back to his practice of
law for his daily bread, we here can
have only the kindliest of feelings for
him. It is curious to note the de
preciation which has occurred in the
values of the household furniture and
decorations of Castle Stewart. Though
costing over $luo,uuo, when new, an
appraiser now estimates them to be
worth about $2i),(no. Lace curtains
i hat cost 1,0oii a pair in Paris, in
1H71, are valueless of cour.se, an I so
with much which gave the "Castle"
its paltatial features when the Senator
was in tlie bight of his glory. His
"gorgeous temple" has faded to him
but to us it, and an everlasting benefit
remains.
We alluded, last week, to Miss llor
ton's attempt to shoot tlie sou of Sena
tor Morgan, of Alabama. Since then
she h s been admitted to bail, Mrs.
lielva Lock wood becoming her surety,
and has been provided with a com
fortable home by Mrs. Spencer, who
with other so-called strong-minded
women, took her in charge, as she
was in a necessitous condition. Miss
Hortou alleges against Morgan not
only seduction and breach of marriage
promise, but the vilest persecution
since she came here to enter suit
against him. She got a place in the
Treasury and lost it through his char
ges. Wherever she went to a boarding-house,
he followed her with slan
der and had her turned into the street,
and to such extent did his persecution
go that she was driven to desperation,
so that she felt irresistibly impelled
to kill him Another allegation is,
that she was promised relief if she
would return him the letters he wrote
her, on which she based her suit for
damages. Her statements are im
plicitly believed by those who have
befriended her, and, if true one can
hardly resist the wish that her bullet
had not failed to do its intended mis
sion. A white man was robbed and mur
dered, on the 7th lust., in one of our
somewhat thickly-settled streets, and
near his place of business, by some
negroes. Some women heard tlie
blows and struggle, but were unable
to get assistance to the victim until
so terribly beaten that lie died in an
hour alter the police arrived. Kvery
pocket was rifled, showing robbery to
have been the object of the assault.
In may be noted that the great ma
jority of olleiices against persons ami
property here have been committed
by colored persons and tlie query is
often lieard, .Should not more sum
mary punishment be meted out to the
trunsgrossors?. Tlie negroes number
about one-third of our population, and
yet they commit much more than half
thoy-rlm'ps, such as theft, burglary,
and murder, a disproportion not much
