On Monday, in charging the. Grand Jury of
the Quarter Sessions, Judge Thompson made
some remarks which: deserve to be
on account of their practical good sense. . lie
said: ■ •■i , , i
“ At the last term of tho court there were nine
hnndred oases returned to the oenrt by the magis
trates of this oity, four hundred and fifty of whloh
were ignored, as thorewas not sufficient testimony
against,them to warrant the Grand Jury in send
ing them til a potit jury for trial This fact proves
conclusively that trie magistrate who returned
those bill.a to ciurt did not properly adjudicate
such cae.es. , This has become a great evil,for seve
ral reaioPSj OEtj of which is, thatitdoesgreat injus
tice jto taany'df our oltlzCns, and sometimes seri
ously affects thbir charaotcr. It'also adds greatly
-to the expenie of criminal jurisprudence' Tn this
oity. If the oonrt or Grand Jury had tho author
rity to put the oosts ,in all caaet, improperly sept
to ooprt upon the magistrates who sent theta
there, it would probably refortn this 'abuse; but as
no suoh power is vested either in theoonrt or Grand
Jury, they oannot to plaoO.the oosts. 'lhe .Grand
Juty, howevor, .have,toe authority to put the costs
upon the proseotttor"dir“«ir coses ignored where
'they dfseote'f from thh'tt&tlinony that salt has beeh
bronght either through malice, spite,' or any other
improper motive; By striotly exercising such au
thority,, tho Grand Jury will dp muoh,.towards re
forming this abuse, ip deterring versons from pro
secuting , othefs without 'sufficient CatiSe, or upon
tho merd shadow of itoims'o.”
The preceding Grand J ury had very properly
nlade the ‘Presentment referred 1 ' to . by ' the
learned Jndge. A greater mockery d t that Snb
‘stantial
tled, doefl .nofc'Jsxlst in any .plppe, 'than ’this
indiscriminate! committal, ,of accused parties
on anch insufficient grounds that in about five
out of every ten cases the bills of Jnd'ctmen.t
ate ignored by'the Grpnd Juries. Trulyf and
strongly, does Jttdgb 'Thompson say that this,
“ proves coneltisively that the magistrates who
retofned those bills to Ooiat did not pi-operiy
adjudicate thosecqsesi” '
While we continue the system of electing as
municipal a number of gentlemen
Who know<nothingof law—wheaei preyioua

Jndge Thompson properly selects two,points
of Wrong, arising out of the syslerrt'of
pable persons acting as committing magis
trates, First, tlio injustice .done to , many re
spectable citizens, .and the injury ijone to
their characters. ' Second, the great addition
to the criminal jurisprudence of the ctty. ; ‘'

Only ignorant of'the lavr,bnt has ncyer been
cyen an ordinary quantity of braina oran ado
qoatafrnowledge of the world,.is liable, every,
day of his life, to be nsed as a tool, by wicked
persons, for the infliction of grievous wrong
upon Innocent individnals. ‘
' It iriay appear an'ordinary and common*
place process, to .the general ran of aldermanie
minds, to commit, a fellow-citizen to prison,
In default of bail,” upon the unsupported
oath of, an accuser, whose word would riot be
believed by any one who Knows him. Suppose
that the accused bea’strangor, or a friendless
being, how is he to get bail 1 His accuser, of
most undoubted bad character in many cases,
is allowed to make the charge, and, this done,
■walks away without the Alderman taking any
step whatever to secure his attendance before
the Grand Jury,- in case that a bill of indict
ment should bo sent up.
The accused, unless he havo bail, is com
mitted to prison.' In nine cases out of ten,
the mere fact of a man’s being even criminally
accused tells against bis reputation, even
thongh.the event prove that he was wrong
fully accused. But let a man be sent to
prison, on a criminal charge, and though the
Grand Jury throw out the-bill of indictment, a
reproach lives against him that he has been
“a jail-bird.”
The incompetenoy of some of these magis
trates is glaring. They have been elected, not
because they were suited to the situation, but
because they fancied that the emoluments and
status are suited to them. Numerous exam
ples of this incompetency might he adduced.
One we know. A man of no donbtfhl charac
ter was pointed at, satirically but truly, in a
local weekly, some months ago. He charged
two persons with having libelled him—one, as
known to be connected with the publication 5
the otber as suspected of being the writer.
The charge was duly made and sworn to be
fore an Alderman. The accuser, on being
asked on what grounds he charged the second
party with having written the presumed
“libel,” frankly avowed that he had no proof*
But he added that he suspected the man
from hit style . This was sufficient for his
Sapience, the Alderman, who forthwith
ordered the accused to find bail, and would
have committed him to prison in default, -
if bail bad not been procured. Of course,
the man with battered character ‘<ook little
by his motion, as the charge had even
tually to be dismissed. But the accused, was
torn from his family at night, (at an hour too
late, it was thought, to prevent his obtaining
bail;) was dragged before one of the city Dog
berries; was exposed to the annoyance of
being crowed over by the accuser as a pre
sumed culprit s was taken irora his business on
the days which he was compelled to waste in
getting clear of the charge; and had to pay
the expense of legal defence to get him clear.
His legal adviser, in onr opinion, acted un
wisely in recommending him to prit in bail.
He should simply have protested against the
heavy wrong to which he was subjected; have
submitted to a night’s detention in prison;
have sued out hia discharge, the noxt day, on
a writ of habeas corpus, and have commenced
an action for heavy damagos against the Al
derman who committed him. No doubt,
tho verdict would haye given a practical les
son to the blunderer whoso ignorance of the
law hod led to such unpleasant results. A
few such lessons would be highly beneficial.
The second point urged by Judge Thomp
son nearly affects the public in general. "We,
the rate-payers of this city, are greatly con
cerned in keeping down the municipal expen
diture, which “ has increased, is increasing,
and ought to be diminished.” The expense
of criminal jurisprudence here is frightful—it
• s much augmented by the foolish proceedings
of the majority of the Aldermen. The learn
ed Judge shrewdly suggests that “if the Court
or Grand Jury had the authority to put thri
costs in all cases improperly sent to Court
upon the magistrates who sent them thither,’?
It would probably reform, this abuse “of
committing parties upon insufficient grounds,”
Unfortunately, this cannot be done ; but the
Grand Jury can do something. They can
“ put the costs upon the posecutor in all cases
ignored where they discover from tho testi
mony thatstiithas been brought eitherihrough
malice, spite, or any other improper motive.”
On Grand Juries, the Aldermanie system
, operates.very hardly. The last Grand Jury
sat forty-four days, and had to Ignore ahbut
1 fifty per cent, of over nine hundred bills of in
dictment submitted to them. It Is clear that

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1858.
Judge»Jnries,and l Alderraen.
' Here'arises a question—who draws up the
t ills of indictment ? Are we to' suppose that
the District Attornies, Mr. Mann and Mr,
LoDQHB Ap, drewjup over nine hundred bills of
indictment,, of which, nearly one-half were ;
thrown out by ,tlie Grand Jury, for the want of
the slight evidence . requisite to establish a
prima facte case 7 : TVe cannbt, and we will
not, believe that these ; legal gentlemen could
have done this. But there should bea.rule
that Tom) Jack, 1 or Harry shall net be allowed,
to send bills of indictment to the Grand Jury.
Let it be a, practice, at any event, (if it bp, not
so now,) that a.District Attorney, who really,
stands as public prosecutor, shall examineand
approve of every indictment before if goes to,
the Grand Jury.' This would put the 1 respon-,
slbility oh' proper authorities, wohld save the
Grahd'Jury’s time and labor, would 'save the
public money, would stand between the cjtir
zens and such blundering Aldermen as Jet
their,zeal outrun their discretion, and would ,
bo a great check upon suehof the Aldermen —
for we recognise some honorable
who seem now to act largely upon caprice or
obstinacy, and too slightly upon law. ;
The thanks of the 'Community are due to the

out reference to the question of population. In
fact, the only candidates for Congress who make

The Comet as Seen Through a Telescope
—Prof. Mitchell’s. Observations.
0. M. Mitchell, of the Cinoinnati Observatory,
eommunioates to the Daily Gazette s very inter
eating paper regarding the comet, which now makes
so fine a display in oar western heavens at night.
It was discovered by Professor Donati, of Florence,
Italy, nearly four months ago. and for a large por
tion of the time since it was deteoted, has, been
stoadily approaching the earth, and in a direction
so nearly coincident with the visual ray, that bat
for the computations of astronomers, might well
excite anticipations of some fearful collision with
our planet. Indeed} throughout the present month
it seems to have been plunging downward so ex
actly toward tho earth that it scarcely ohanged its
apparent plaoo among the fixed stars by a quantity
larger than two or three times tho diameter of tho
moon.
It will reach its nearest approach to the sun in
a few days. Its brilliancy will increaso rapidly
up to the close of the first week in Ootoher, when
it will put on its most splendid appearanoej and
will thon rival in grandeur ;tlie famous comet of
Halley, at Us last return, in j 836.
This comet, Professor Mitchell says, “ will soon
commence to chango direotion, at first slowly, af
terward more rapidly, as seen from the earth,
when sweeping swiftly round the son it will re
gain those distant regions of space wherein a vast
proportion of its orbit lies far beyond thereaoh of
telescopio vision.” , He further states:
“On the evening of the 25th of September, the
appearance of the comet, in the great refraotorof
■ the Cinoinnati Observatory, was especially inter
esting. The. oentral portion, or nucleus, was ex
amined with powers varying from one hundred to
five hundred, without presenting any evldenoe of a
well-defined planetary diso. It was a brilliant glow
of light, darting and flashing forward in tho direc
tion of the motion toward the sun, and leaving
the region behind in comparative obsourity. But
the most wonderful physical feature presented
was a portion ot & nearly circular nebulous ring ,
with its vertex direoted toward thesan, the bright
nucleus being in the centre, while the imperfect ring
swept mpre than half round the luminous centre.
This nebulous ring resembled those' which some
times osoapo from a steam-pipe, but did not ex
hibit the appearance whioh’,ought to be presented
by a hollow hemispherical envelope of nebulous
matter. , • (
“ Thero was an evident concentration of light in
the oentral portions of the ring, while, in the oase
of a hollow envelope, the brightest portion should
be at tho outer edge. By- miorometioal measure
ment, the distanco from the oentral point to the
oiroumferoneo of tho ring was found to be about
nine thousand miles. This would give a diameter of
eighteen thousand miles, in case the ring was entire.
Similar measurements, made on the evening of
the 26th of September, indicated a decided in
crease in the radius of tho ring, whioh was now
not less than twelve thousand miles in'length.
On the same evening I notiood tho foot that the
luminous envelope did not blend itself into the
head portion of the tail, but appeared somewhat
to penetrate into this nebulous moss, especially on
the upper part, presenting the appearanooof about
200 degrees of a spiral. Tho tail on tho 25th was
decidedly brighter and bettor defined on the upper
than on the lower portion, while on tin evoning of
the 26th there was a muoh nearer approach to
equality In brightness, especially nearer the hoad
of the comet. Through the telesaope, and near
the head, the tall presented the appearance of a
hollow nebulous envelope, under toe form of a
paraboloid of revolution, tho edges being brightest
and well defined, while there was a manifest
fading away of light towards the oentral region.
Through the vast depth of a nebulous matter

which ohaotio condition this beautiful systom of

Sooqytoo soon, fellow-citisens; "we learned that this. •*
just expectation was to.be, disappointed. It is abitter.
confession;' but. bitter*as it is, It'most be muidft.’
Pledges and platforms'were forgotten,-or if remem-.
bered, spurned with contempt., The Leeompton Qonsti
tution, that'child of crime, that came hobbling before
ihe country in all its hideous deformity, was attempted
to be forpod upon a protesting people. Now, I hare
beard it stated,'at public meetings l in this city, that
Kansas did not protest against Constitu
tion This is not'true Her Legislative Assembly,
elected at the only fa'r election up to that time—with
no armed invasions from.abroad,witp no turmoil, no
bloodshed, no frauds, and with all sides voting—unam*-
moXslv petitioned Congress td reject that iustntment.
They protested against it without a single dissenting
voice; and they protested against it’ as loatbsofoe to
their people and to themselves.’ Their delegate ip Con
grepa protested against It. [Applause 1 Yet the attempt
went on to establish it as the'f&nie of State Govern
ment for that Territory No heed wvs paid to protests, ,
nor, Indeed, did >uy regard seem to .bo given to the de
sire of the majority of those who were to be affected by
the result—the people of Kansas themselves.
But the effort to secure the adoption of Lecempton
by Congress was only partially successful. A measure -
was adopted known as the English Nil. It provides
that a slave State may come into the Union with only
40 000 population, bqt that a free State must* have
120 000 before she can be admitted. In the arithmetic
of some this may be all fair; bat'to my sight, with 1
nobody’s spectsoles.apon my nose, it is anything else
than an equality between the North and the South.
Where, in tne Constitution o? the United States, can be
found the declaration that one man South is equal to
three men North. To admit this, says Mr. TTinVman
very justly; would he to reduce 'ns to the mere tulgar
fractions of men. * '
Tou cannot agree to this. Ton cannot sodehase your
manhood. Certain lam that you do not feel flattered
that your Bepresentative in Oongress has recorded it
u h's deliberate judgment, by the vote he gave on the
English bill,’ that you, eaoh one of you is only the
one-third part of .a m*u; that it takes three of you to
mabo a Southern man. [Applause]
Bat, frllow-cUisens, the people of Kronas rejected
the English bill—or rather, they spurned, by a vote of
ton to one, the offer of millions of acres of the public
domain if they would hug Lecorapton to their embrace.
This last act confirmed all that had been said for that
people against the Lecompton contrivance; and in re-'
jecting that instrument the-people were only true to
themselves.
bow. gentlemen, have this Administration and those
who support-its Kansas test bderi faithful to the pledges
and the platform of the Democratic party! • We bound
ourselves, in 1856, that we would secure to Kansas the
right of determining her own institutions in her own
.way. We knew .that the .principle of popuUr sove
reignty was our strong ground, and we clung'to it
through every phase of the Presidential campaign: and
the Demooratio party came out of that struggle 'with
victory peVched upon our banners! A Democratic Pre
sident and a Democratic Vice President were elected,
and the Democratic party had a majority in both
houses of Congress.'
Now, with the reins of power In the hands of
the Demooratio party, tbat party of oourse fulfilled
ita pledges to Kansas and the country, and admitted
that Territory into the Union as a free State. We
know that it has not been admitted as a free State, but
that on the contrary, every device has been resorted to
for the purpose of forcing npon her a slave Constitu
tion. Who is responsible for this breach of faith?
Who have been true and who have been false to Demo
cratic principles ? Tbo»e who stand by the pledges of
1856, or those who have abandoned them? Do the
anti-Lecompton .men speak a language different
from that whioh they altered a year or two ago ?
Certainly not! They advocate the same principle of
popular sovereignty .now that they advocated then.’
They have kept their covenants unbroken, and tbelr
esoitcheons untarnished. As honest men they cannot
abandon that principle, and; as sagacious statesmen,
they would not If they could, [applause] It has
everything about IMn sympathy with our own fr j e
? overament. It eschews the despotism of Intervention.
t leaves the people of the Territories perfectly free to
form and regulate their own domestic institutions in
their own way, snbjeotonly to the-Constitution of the
United States. Who can better judge of what suits the
people than themselves? They are.directly concerned
in the establishment of Slavery in their midst, and their
voice ought to be controlling in that matter, f Ap
plause ] The principle of popular sovereignty, fellow
oltfzens, is ft glorious platform to stand npon
It is not for a day, nor Is It for Kansas alone; but it
la for ail the Territories, And for all time. [Applause ]
Itappesls to our favorby its fairnessand its justice. It
docs injustice to none, whilst its operation must cer
tainly iuure to the peace and bappiueßS of all. l No
community can object to its exercise
Mr. Buchanan, in his Inaugural, has said, “what a
happy conception, then, was it for Congress to apply
this simple rule—that the will of the mnjority shall go
vern—to the settlement of the question of domestlo
slavery in the Territories. * # # # The
whole territorial question being thus settled up”n the
principle of popular sovereignly—a principle as ancient
as free government itself—everything of a practical na
ture has been decided ”
Pellow-oititsni. thsre has been a departure from this
principle in the Becompton policy of the Administra
tion The pledges of 1856 have been violated. For
principle, expediency has been substituted. A test has
been erected, and mind, and honor, and manhood are
askod to bow at the beck of power. Now, whoc >n with
hold tbelr opposition to this state of things? My lessons
In the part/ have heen that th»t principle ought to be
adhered to uncompromialngly Thia the anti Lecomp
ton Democrats have done amidst all the seductions and
fascinations of power, notwithstanding threata and
calumnies hurled againat them. Oon«oloni of the just
ness or their cause and the rectitude of their purpose,
they hAve remained unmoved. Cicero tells us that
when a Roman youth arrived at the yeaTS of maturity,
he placed his hand upon the altar of his country and
swore before the people and the Gods', that whenever
danger threatened the liberties of the republic, whe’her
front conspiracy or through powerdrnnk with arrogance,
lie would contend against it at whatever risk, f Ap
plause.]
The liberties of a people are not stricken down atone
sudden |)low. They are undermiued gradually and al
most imperceptibly. An innovation to-day is precedent
for another la the future; and unless we are vigilant
that principle is not forgotten, and that error does not
gain control in however slight degree, it will not be long
before we will find this fair fabrio of government
toppled in the dust and burying uoder its ruins
the fond hopes of the oppressed people of every
land [Applause ] It is becAnso we adhere to
priuoiple that we make this right, and in making
it we know that we have the people with us The
popular ear la open to catch the shouts of the victory
tbat awaits us. There is no doubt of our auicess s ‘here
can be none with the signs all round us. In Irhh hU
