The Great JSaatero*
Tbo mammoth steamer was ontored, at the
Oastom Honse, London, to depart froni Holy
head, (tho Govorpmont Welshand Irish pack
ets tation,) for Portland, Maine, This settles
the question of hor destination. Thero is a
rumor that she will visit Norfolk, Virginia,
being unable, from want of water, (oven
should she try Master, Ee.vnitt’s favorite
Plum Gut,) to go to lOGtli street, Now York,

Aldermen of the City of Philadelphia.
It is time that tho presont system) as to the |
mode of pay ing Aldermon, should be abolished,
and that, instead of paying tliem*<for their
services in fees, they should; repeive salaries,
tho fees charged to go into" tho' bounty treasu
ry. The system, as it now oxiste, is. pregnant
with manifold evil, corruption, fraud, aud in
justice, and tho office, instead of being ex
officio a court of justice, is too'oilen one of in
justice, partiality, .mu ; stty tyranny. Instead
of tho office being ouo of honor, it is notorious
ly the reverse. Instoad of commanding respect,
it exclteH contumCly and ridicule. Instead oi
baing. filled by won of character for honesty,
intelligence and integrity, it is too often occu
pied by domagoguo politicians, or if, pcrchaneo,
by a man of character, tho effects of the present
system are such that be soon losos all notions
of right and wrong, for tho system and his ne
cessities compel him, in order to make a living
and something more, daily to connivo at and
to do wrong.
Thus it becomes his interest to recommend
prosecutions, where ho would otherwise dis
countenance them! He advises actions to be
brought j and what ho advises he must aid at
tho hearing—to be consistent, lie favors
plaintiffs. He continues cases, time after
time, to enable the plaintiff to get, or to mnko
testimony, in order to give n show or a color
for a judgment in his favor. For, if ho is
known to give his judgments always in favor of
the parties bringing suits, he will get business,
and by that means fees. By these a living,
and, perhaps, something to lay by on retiring
from the office. j
He should administer law impartially, but
his necessities or his interest render him par
tial, and thereby unjust—a wrong-doer him- |
Belf, though called “a justice” of the peace |
ex officio. Some may imagino that ho cannot I
do great injustice, becauso there lies an appeal
from his judgment; but therein lies a great
part of tho evil. Not that there is tho right of
appeal f?r the defendant, but that tho appeal
costs fees to lawyers, delay, loss of time, and
interruption to business. Arc these not evils 1
Do thoy not work oppression 1 And is not the
magistrate, in the twofold capacity of advo
cate and judgo, adviser and barrator, “a com
mon mover of suits and quarrels ?” TThero is
tho evil of continuances! In fids, that tho
defendant is brought frequently from his busi
ness, and frequently when most inconvenient,
and at an expense of time and money; at an
expense, oft repeated, of lawyer’s fees, and to
, the inconvenience and loss of tlmo, and of
money, to tte witnesses, compelled to attend
under the mandate of subpoenas, all working
gross oppression, in order that tho alderman
may make a living out of the office.
This was not the intent of their creation
hut in tho palpable violation thereof. Hence
it is that the grand jurors are weighed down
with bills of indictments for frivolities that
should never havo been returned. Hcnco it is
that tho Court of Quarter Sessions is burdened
in the trial'of petty cases, occupying the time
of judges and jurors, at an enormous expense
to the county, to tho interruption of the pro
per adjudication of important cases, which
the court is compelled to hurry through, be
causo so much of their time is monopolized
by appeal cases of trifling magnitude—or ra
ther, well denominated, trifling diminutives—
so that the trials thereof cost tho county more
for the pay of judges’ salaries, jurors’ fees, &c.,
&c., far more, than tho aggregate amount of
those petty cases of appeal j .and it would save
money if it paid the plaintiffs the amount of
debt, interest, and costs, without trial.
Tho system of Justices being paid in feeß,
originated in England, from whence it was in
troduced into this country. But, in England,
they are no longer paid by “ fees,” but by
salaries, wherever they derive any emolument
from the office, and arc termed Stipendiary
Magistrates,
Under tho old system, they became known
at the time of Fieldixo, under tho qsme of
“trading justices”—that is, they traded in
their office, in tho same manner as thoy now
do boro —the aldermen of tho city and county
of Philadelphia, being, as a class, in the full
est and widest «en«o of the term—“ trading
justices.”
Progress of Bank-Note Forgery.
"We have, without exception, the best bank
note engraving in the world, and we have also
njojro counterfeit bank-notes than any other
country with a paper currency. The ingenuity
of onr engravers w taxed and tasked to pro
duce bank-notes which the counterfeiter can
not imitate, and yet forgeries are .ejnepdingly
flush. For example, as we lenrn from Per
terson’s Counterfeit Detector of yesterday, as
many as fifty-eight new counterfeits have been
pu£ into circulation within the last fortnight. 5
This would appear almost incredible, but it is
true. . There is Sjnglo imitation of a bank
in this State or this city in this tremendous
list. This is complimentary to tho
engravers of this city, as it indicates that jtheir
work is so well executed that «it does not
pay” to attempt to imitate It.
The Bank of England notes, which are now
very raroly imitated, are distinguished, in their
execution, by tho utmost simplicity of design
aad work. Had the Bank Directors belonged
to the Society of Friends, by whom vain
adornment is repudiated, they could scarcely
hava agreed upon a more simple and plain
bank-note. Yet, with all this simplicity and
plainness, a forgery of it is seldom made, and,
when made, is readily detected. The protec
tion lies in the simplicity. Instead Qf being
covered over with many and beautiful decora
tions and drawings, including gems of land
scape by DableV; or portraits of individuals,
or reminiscences of tho Grecian mythology,
the note of f)>o Bank of England is little
more than a promise to pay, duly dated and
numbered, with signature of cashier, or
one of his assistants, on right side, and
the signature of an entering clerk ton the
left. Tho chief peculiarity is a different
ink employed on the mechanical numbering
of each note, and a mathematical exactness
and harmony on the pvhoJc engraving. There
are a few secret jty all—consisting
of dots placed with apparent cayelcss.oeae pn
various parts of the note, which bank clerks
and other Initiated persons can immediately
ascertain. (We shall bo happy to point them
out to the possessor of a Bank of England
note, who will present us with tho same in
payment for tho lesson,} &bovo all, tho
paper, with its peculiar water-mark, j.s diffi
cult to bo made, To imitate At would bo as
felonious as to forge tho handwritings outlie
note Itself. This paper is made by a
process known only to a few epp/jden
tial persons in tho bank, and ovon were
tho mystery laid open, would require
such a costly plant of intricate machinery,
that persons possessed of tho pecuniary means
to establish It for this purpose, would bo so far
above tho usual inducements to crimo that
they would scarcely bo induced to run the
risk. This paper possesses such remarkable
toughness that if a Bank of England note be
twisted, with a weight of two hundred and
twenty-four pounds suspended to it, the twist
will sustain it without yielding or breaking.
It appears utterly improbable that counter
feiting cannot bo prevented here, as it is in
London and Paris. Supposo that some bank
should try the experiment of issuing notes,
the very perfection of cunning art employed
to produce the most beautiful simplicity of
design and execution.
A Woman Murders her Husband and
Sou,,and Commits Suicide,
A fearful tragedy occurred last Sanday at a
lonely farm-house, thro6 imlos from Vorsailos,
itiply 00., Indiana. . Tho premises were occupied
by a farmer named John Windsor, his wife, and
a son, the Utter Aged fourteen years. It soems
that the man and woman lived unhappily together,
And thoir frequent violent altercations were & sub
jeot of comment to the neighborhood. Upon the
afternoon of Sunday, their daughter, wno hud
been upon a visit to a neighboring acquaintance,
with whom rtio remained several days, returned
home, and entering the honso was paralyzed by
a sight of such intense horror ae almost to de
prive her of reason. Extended upon tho floor,
weltering in their blood, l&y (ho bodies of her pa
rents and her brother. Tho man was lying upon
his f&eo near the hearth with his head nearly se
vered from his shoulders; tho body of tho boy lay
in another part of the room with several murder
ous cuts In his head, and close by tho bloody
weapon* a sharp axe, with which this double deed
of horror had boon consummated. In tbo kitchen
adjoining was tho body of tho wretched woman, her
thiont severed from ear to ear, and n largo butch
er’s knife, with which sho had taken her life, still
clasped in her hand.
• Xt is conjectured that while the husband was in
tho act of kindling & fire upon tho hearth, bis wife
soizod tho BXO hud dealt him tho fatal blow,
which nearly severed tho head from the body, and
then, turning upon her «>n, who, from being iu his
nfght clothes, bad evidently in alarm just arisen
from his bed, she despatched him with the same
Weapon; after which she rushed into tfc* pext
apartment, and concluded tho tragedy by tho
sacrifice of her own life.
•Tho poor girl, who is tho sole survivor of the
ill-fated family, has received so severe a shook
from the sooiu) which was so unexpectedly revealed
to her. that she has eve? sipce been bordering upon
insanity.
THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEFIw~
Letter from i( Ocoubioimh”
[Correspondence of The Frets.]
Wasmkovox, Sept. 45,1859.
One of tbo most interesting problems oftho day,
to Democratic politicians, ia tho eoujso of tho Ad
ministration in -regard to tho .succession.. The
ohnnoes of the President for a JC-iiominatiou arc
so oxtreinoly gloomy that ho feels liimsclf obliged
to declaro, in tho most emphatic terms, that ho has
no aspirations for tho ro*elcotion which ho sees no
piospectof securing; and yet “hope springs eternal
in tho human breast,' 5 and 110 cousoloa himself with
tho idea that something may possibly yet turn up
beforo tho Charleston Convention assembles to
mako him “a necessity to tho parly.”
In tho meantime, tho adheronts of tho Adminis
tration must havo somobody to parado before the
publio as their nominal candidate, upon whom
they cau rally their forces, after they become
fully satisfied that An ungrateful and unfortu
nate country must inevitably be deprived of
Mr. Buohnnan’s valuable sorvioes as President.
Now, who shall this sucooasor bo ? AVhat namo
shall bo inscribed in tho will of ourgroat chief os
tho fortunate inheritor of his prestige, and tho
future possessor of his political influence ? As mat
ters now stand, neither Douglas, Wise, Huntor, nor
Breckinridge, can expect tho present Presidential
mantle to fall upon their shoaldors. For a time,
the redoubtable Gen. Jo. Lane of Oregon appeared
to be the chosen fßvorite, and ho was lauded to tho
skies as a sort of humbug hard-cider candidate
who would be suro to win. But tho result of tbo
oleetion in Oregon has pretty effectually disposed
of his pretensions. The triumph of Gen. Sam
Houston in Texas, made him for a time a groat
favorite in Administration circles, notwithstand
ing his American antecedents and the fnot that he
did not voto for Mr. Buchanan in 1856. But the
South rebels against Houston, and its word is law
to its slnve in the White House. lion, Robert J.
Walkor’s name has also been suggested ; for since
his reconciliation hohaabocomo a groat favorite
with tho Administration, but somehow or other this
idea does not meet with such favor.
Fortunately for tho country, however, tho politi
cal genius of Jinks lias furnished a solution to adif
fioulty which, to-ordinary minds, appeared insur
mountable. Jinks has named his candidate, and
this grave preliminary having been settled, no
thing romains but the minor affairs of nominating,
olocting, and Inaugurating him, which arebutmero
formalities that will follow the promulgation of
his idoft as naturally os a well-trained bound fol
lows tho trail .of a fox. Your readers wjll £ty bo
rejoiced to learn that wo are to have a second
Pennsylvania President—and be, too, no ntero out
slder—no pestiferous imti-Loooinptonite—no man
:of doubtful or wavering antecedents, but “ a
chip of tbo old block,” a member of tho
present Cabinet, yojjr own beloved Judgo Black.
You will find in tbo last Chainborsburg Valley
Spirit , which is a sort of persona! organ of tho
Judgo, Iris merita set forth in language that must
carry conviction to every unprejudiced mind, and
ns the only possible objection to his nomination at
Charleston is tbo fact that somo other State might
considor that “ turn nbopt fci fair play” in Presi
dential matters, tho thoughtful and sagacious
editor of tho Valley Spirit has effectually disposed
of this objection in advance, ns follows:
“ It may bo objected that*tho present incumbent
of the Executive chair of the nation is a Pennsyl
vanian, and that his successor ought to como from
another State. Thero is no reel lorco in tho objec
tion. The best available map ought to bo
taken no mfttter whero ho comes from. Ip the
oarly days of the Republic, which so many people
delight to call its “ beet days,” it vtnithe man ra
ther than bis location that was looked to. Virginia
furnished the President for six terms in succession
—sixteon years longer than Pennsylvania wJH havo
him if she is allowed tho successor to Mr. Bu
chanan. "Wo have, therefore, abundant precedent
for claiming the honors of tho Chief Magistracy for
another Pennsylvanian at, tho closo of Mr. Bu
cb.apsn> term.”
Tho coast fyejojg thus cleared for a scoond Penn
sylvania President, ft ppjy remains to got rid of a
someuhnt troublesome -competitor—tho redoubta
ble Douglas. Judgo Block, with a /byetjjought
which docs infinito credit to his political sagacity,
or with an in&tinotivo prescience as remarkable
as that of the young queen bee, whose first act in
life £3 tp jjting to death thoir rivals, endeavored as
early as 1858 to ejfeptually dispose of tho Illinois
Senator by prcventjDj* his reflection to tho Se
nate, and accordingly despatched spmo in/ercsling
missives which pye still in a remarkably good state
of preservation, directing the Administration of
ficials to coalesce with tho Republicans to de
feat Douglas; but when tho smoke of that cpjnbat
cleared away, it was found that tho Little Giant
“still lived/’ But though ho survived theso dis.

put his best foot foremost, and, however successful
Douglas has boon in former contests on the stump, in
th° Senate, and in almost every form of intellectual
dOaityat Ip which a politician can appropriately en

Mr. Bugk don’t ai all approve of this dlsoourtoous
treatment ofhis resolution, nnd helms accordingly
written a long communication, which appears in
the Madison (Wisconsin) Patriot, denouncing tho
delegates for their refusal to endorso his eu

“ These men and the Convention deny that Mr.

member 01. tho Riiriijy wjiere ho boarded, to whom ho
disclosed his intention to jump Niagara river, states
that O’Conner said ho intended tb apply ;hn proceeds of
his extnpdion of daring to tho olyeclna llaa avowed of
obtaining an education.
Ho took the ogifl® PJ ‘“molds for this occasion, as his
relatives were respeMaule.andhodiiln'otwant. to give

from ClarissH-atreet bridge into tho river, undfbo Water

experiment. Tho descent there was about thirty feet,
we suppose.
We expressed yesterday the com iction that this man

Mr. liotchkin retused‘to b'»vo anything to do with
the matter, and advised O’Conner Jq abandon the foolish
idea. When lie told hun hiihfo would be saenfioed, tho
man replied that hie browns of no great Value, Ije ap

Acadkuv op Mt'siO.—'Lord Byron's well-known
poem ot “ Parislna,” founded on au incident lu tho
history of Forarro, relates Duko of Esto,
had an illegitimate son, named Hugo—how Hugo
was tho lover of a young lady, named Paririoa—
how Azo married the young lady—how, on his ro
turn to Court, tho passion of the young peoplo
was revived, and hod a guilty consummation—how
tho wronged husband and father, with Human in
flexibility, had his own son executed—how Pa
risina, guilty and broken-hoarted, had her life
Bpnrcd—and how »ho lived on, in prison, .mpse
miserable in that life th an he who perished. 7
Make the sou and wife not guilty, spare tho son’s
life, and make the wretched wife die in view of
tho audience, and you havo tho plot of “Isidoreof
Fylvania,” described in tho bills ns “ ft Grand Ro
mantic Drama,” in five acts. '
The names of tbo characters ore changed in the
piny. Azo is converted into John; Hugo into
Guido; and Parisian into Jsidota. Sylvunia*is
an imaginary country, supposed to bo Italian,
inasmuch as Naples and Mantua are familiarly
spoken of, as though they were not far distant.
Ever and anon, when Sylvania was named,, we
woro remindod of our own Ponn-sylvania. It Is
nn awkward in this loonlity.
Dale John, believing bis only son to La dead,
marries again, selecting tho very lady, Isidora,
who is beloved by Guido. Bettors froqj Guido to
his father and his loro, relating bpw he Jias pot
died in battle, though at first reported dead, bayo
boon intercepted by Isabella, sister to the Duke,
and Geraldi, a monk, who is tho Puk.e'a confessor.
Isabella has a son,\ho, in default of Guido, would
succeed to the dukedom, and the Monk acts with
her on the promise orher inflaeneo with tho Pope,
which sho doolares to be great, to have tho next
y&onnt Cardinal’s hat.
Gu)dp } returning to Rylvania, (without the
Penp,) la by the monk that his father
had wedded Isidora, spit)) full knowledge of their
mutual loye. Tbon, 9199, tho puke first learns
that Isidora had been beloved by typ jtyn, ajjd had
roturned that love. IDs suspicion, his
excited, and to is goaded almost to violent itgkth
by Guido, who, in tho first interview afto? jplur*’
ing, treats him coldly, contnmeliously, and mag toy
ot all as if ho woro his fathor, and scarcely
respectfully gp a Prince. However, tho Duke feels
that theso woro extenuating oiroumetnnoos, and
bears with him. Tbo wenp ppds in a sort of re
conciliation.
Tho Duke to honorhis eon’s arrival gives & grand
banquet. Prior to this, Isabella tricks Isidora
out of *ring whuh tho Duko had given her, and
presents it to Qufio, af| if root by Isidora with a
request for him to wear ft. J|io banquet comes off,
and at tho momont tho Duke, to drink to
his son, takes him by tho hand, ho recognise* 'Afcqn
it the r;pg, (which ho had previously inissod from :
that of his wife,) and, at onco having tho smould
ering suepioion rayivod, wifo aud son to
ho guilty and breaks up tho banquet in a rage.
In the fourth act thero is a fiho scene, in which
Guiao comes to toh° Icavo of his father, and *9
strongly averts bis innoccpee that, aftor announc
ing hU intention of immediately abandoning Syl
vftnia (without the Penn) for ever, and tbi3 vltiu
out a parting intorvlow with the Duehoss, tiro fa
ther, all subdued, falls upon his son's nook, and
affeotionaloly parts with him.
The Monk, who is porpetunlly making soUlo*
quies, is poit sitting alone, before a
table strewn with paper* fltae wero the sup
pressed letters, with miftri'ves JcaUUtt
prompting him to commit the treachery, Like
our old friend St. Plorre, ho “ kopt tho docu
ments,” to have a hold ufton tho lady. Enter
Casti, the frifod of Guido , who.sends the Monk
away, and so rapidly tho cowled gentleman
drops eomo of tho ducumento—a ptngo tfjeh. worn
threadbare by a h,undrc(l repetitions. Casti per
suades G-ffidp tp giro fxidora a farewell inter
view, at her own r{yrjiy py is not
stated,) and after Giddy retires fbp
paper.*, reads thorn, deicots IfiP pritphipf, and, the
Monk returning in hot baste, carries them away in
despite Jf hD prayers and resistance.
I»> (he next net, hoff6?of f and tho Monk

deprive h'in;‘ pf which so deeply eOld
promised them Juiiora Guido meat In the
garden, and tho Duko, who has k&d* QJiinjdjng
from his sistor, of thoir meeting, on which be put*
n guilty interpretation, drops down upon them ot
the momont when, yielding to Gwn/o’.« solicitation,
Isidora is about letting him give her & parting
salute. Isidora is overcome by tho disco
very. Giddy }]}* innocence. The
Duke, almost if i\qt fyujte jnfuriatp4 to
ness, sends Guido to execution, 'isidora, after
vainly protesting his iprwoence, ami poir.own.
rushes out lo witness or to sharo hir fato. paste,
who has escaped from prison, discloses tho villainy
Isabella and the Mont, tbon in presence, and they
nro Font to prison. The Dale recoils his deadly
intentions Guido , and Isidora rushes in,
to die, which ahe dcca yc f ~y touchingly, the Duty
and Crtf/V/tf, hand loj&and/stanfing over her as she
oxfdrea. ‘
This, it will bo seen, is a drama of a singlo idoa,
without any nndorplot—without any lighter relief
cxcopt wo may so call tho grimaces and most
affectations uttcrauco of Mrs. Wallack as Isabella,
(which rendered it difficult to nmkc out moro than
halfof what she sajd,) apd tbe ludloroudy sepulchral

and Galotti, wo bolievo,) and was oncorcd. Sbo
was actually singing to the Duke, Duchess, and
guests, but politely turning her back upon them,
rushed up to tho footlights, and sang bodily, to
tho audience.
Mrs. Bowers hud not much to do in tbe play,
except to look sorrow-Btricken and pale, save in
tho interview with Guido, nnd in tho last act.
Her death segno yas wondrousty emotive.
