Judge Black’s Judicial Qualifications.
In a late issue wo published some remarks
on the opinion of Judgo Black, “that in all
offences created by law stnce the adaption oftho
Constitution, the LoglMaturehad thepower to
abolish the cpnstltntlonsirlght of trial by jury,”
An attempt has been made, to support this ex
traordinary .opinion by citing oases from the
I law reports, which have no application what
' ever to the constitutional qnostion, under our
State Constitution, and under tho great princi
ple in Magna Charts. Tho only Pennsylvania
decision bearing on the case is that pro
nounced by Okiof Justice Gibson, in tho case
of Batter'rs. tho Commonwealth, reported in
the third volume of the Pennsylvania Reports,
by Penrose' & itatts, pago 260. In that caso
Chief Justice Gibson,. speaking of the uncon
stitulionality of summary convictions, in cases
not in use at t"ho adoption of tho Constitution,
atatos that, “ tho foundation of the princi
ple is. said in Clark’s caso to be tho oflen
quotod provision in Magna Oharta, that no
freeman shall bo taken or imprisoned unless by
the lawful judgment of his peers, or -tlio law of
the land; tho substance of which is secured to
us in the Bill of Bights. Now,” Bays tho
Chief Justicoj >*if tho chartor (of tho city)
| even purported to confer a power to imprison
on. summary co nviclion, and without appeal to a
jury, it would be to far unconstitutional and
void.” It isthereforeplain, from this decision,
that Judge Black’s opinion was not only sub-
I versivo of constitutional right, and dangorous
to tho doarcßt liberties of tho poople, but it
was in opposition t® tho rule of stare decisis.
j and contrary to a previous decision of the
highest authority in tho State.
"Wo do not profess to be loamed in tho tech
nicalities of tho law, or In'tho numerous deci
sions In tho law books. But all our roadors
have common sense enough to know that if the
Legislature may create what new ofTences they
please, and abolish tho trial by jury in all such
eases, the constitutional protection, so much
boasted of as the bulwark of our liberties, is
uot worth a straw. So far from using disre
spectful language towards Judge Black In re
ference to Ihis'opinion, wo excuse him on the
ground of ignorance; for, as ho does nof refer
to the decision of Chief Justice Gibson, and
as his duties required him to abide by.lt, If be
knew its existence, we presume that he was
ignorant that such a docisloh.had been mado.
' Tho effort to support Judge BlaOK’s gross out
rago on common sense, 'as well as on plain
constitutional right, by tho allegation that
somo of the other judges concurred in it, is an
acknowledgment that tho decision cannot
stand on its own merits. Every ono knows
that the judges who merely concur in a deci
sion aro not responsible for tho reasoning ol
l the one who undertakes to deliver tho opinion.
Wo have not found fault with tho judgment si
tho court in the caso of Van Swabtow vs.
The Commonwealth. That may havo boon
right for othor reasons than those stated by
Judgo Black.- It does not follow from
tho silence of tho other judges that they
concurred in -all the sophistries of the
judge who wroto tho opinion. To illustrate
this principle, we may refer to the celebrated
case of Passhobe Williamson, reportod in
second volume of Casey’s Reports, pago 18.
The decision there, in jvhlcli tho majority of
tho judges concurred, was that, on a habeas
corpus, tho Supremo Court of Pennsylvania
had no right to reverse a conviction for con
tempt in tho District Court of tho United
States. Tho District Court of the United
States was not amenable to tho State court for
! tho regularity of its proceedings; and if it
were, a writ of habeas corpus was not tho pro
per writ to review and roverso (ho decision.
But Judge Black, with tho recklessness pecu
liar to his ill-organized mind, boldly declares
(list “ tho authority,lo deal with an offender
of this class belongs exclusively to tho court
in which tho offcnco is committed; end no
other court, not oven the highest, can intor
foro with its oxerciso, either by writ of error,
mandamus, or habeas corpus. If the power
be abused, there is no remedy but impeach
ment.”
This extraordinary and alarming doc
trine did more than anything else to cre
ate dissatisfaction with the decision in Pass
mobs Williamson's case. But tho alarm
ing principle asserted by Judge Black was
unnecessary to tho decision, was not con
curred in by tho other judges, and was aiter
unanimously ovortnlod by tho wholo
Commonwealth vb. Newton, reported in the
lat volume of Grant’a Roporta, pago 454, the
fears of the people were quieted by the recog
nition of tho principle that tho decisions of
subordinate courts, even In convictions for
contempt, wore subject to correction m the
proper Supremo Court, having uppcllato juris
diction.
On tho whole, tho doctrine of J - lid go ButcK
in Van Swahtow’s caso is unsupported by
precedent, unsanctioned by tho other judges,
contrary to tho express language of tho Con
stitution, and soandalonsiy subversive of tho
right of trial by Jury. We are perfectly will
ing to trust this question to tho intelligent law
yers and laymen of the nation. They do not
require a string of cases to lend them to a cor
rect decision whero, as in this case, tho prin
ciple is so clear that it vindicates itself.
An Anglo.lnsh Confederation.
We publish In another portion of to-day’s
Press an article from the now Journal, A r etes
from Homt, the first number of which was is
sued In this city on Saturday last. It will, we
think, recommend itself to all of our readers
who are In the habit of watching and specula
ting upon European affairs, especially thoso
with whom the politics of Groat Britain and
Iroland, and their relations to tlio continent of
Europe, form a subjoct of attraction or con
sideration.
The articlo, which we have transferred to
our columns, though giving a succinct and
graphic review of the general position of the
great European nations, has especial reference
to the position of England to Europe, in tho
first placo, and or Ireland to England, in tho
second. The suggestions thrown out for tho
settling of tho differences betwcon Great Bri
tain and Ireland upon grounds which would bo
mutually advantageous strike us as boing
statesmanlike and judicious. Tlio object of
tho writer may he impracticable, when wo con
sider tho courso England has always pur/mod
towards Iroland; hut thou, again, tho present
European crisis may bo such as to warrant tho
deep consideration of such a project by ovou
so haughty a nation as England. At all events,
tho views aro' novel, and stated with groat
force. To us, the writer’s point seems to ho
the Americanization, if possible, and so far as
a confederacy of independent States goes, of
tho British Islands. The 'subject must be
deeply interesting to a groat mass of poopio,
and will attract considerable attention.
The l.ntest Novelty in Fashion.
Tho very latest novelty in Fashion, wo moan
In feminine dress-captivation, la roportod to
have boon philosophically observed, if not
first discovered, on tho south or sunny side of
Chestnut street, on Saturday afternoon. A
lady, very handsomoly attired, and with Taco
and flgnro to match, was obsorved on that well
frequented promenade. On the little flngor of
her left hand she daintily wore, over hor prim
rose-tinted Jouvin, a handsomq diamond ring
—tho brilliant sot in blue enamel, which
showed it oil very prettily. To tho under
part of tills ring was attached a Vene
tian chain of the purest gold, terminating
in another ring, set allaronnd jvith Jewels of
diverse quality, hue, and lnstre. Through this •
a delicate kerchief of laco, with the exception
of about two squaro inches in tho centre
just enough to swear by, as tho saying is—was
passed, and the whole was penicle from tho
minor digital, aforementioned, and really had
a pretty effect. The design was to provido a
new way of carrying tho mmchoir, which would
leave the hand diseiigaged, and yet display the
beauty of the I&cc or embroidery. It was de-.
cidedly successful, and ono of the neatest
exhibitions of tho soasM. What It might ap
poar whon mado by a jess dUtlngui person,
wo do not pretend to guess. We record what
we saw.

The Attack upon Brownsville.
The locality of Brownsville, Texas, ren
dered famous during tha war against Moxico,
on account of Its importance as a military po
sition at the commencement of .that conflict,
now attracts almost equal attention through
the dangors which menace it, and the doubt
already existing in regard to its fate. For
several months it has boen oomplotcly over
awed by tho outlaw Cobtinas, and its citizens
kept in constant dread of a successful assault.
On tho 28tlr of September last, J. A. Baowx,
sheriff of Cameron county, Texas, wrote a
letter to tho commandant of Matamoros, tho
.Mexican town opposite Brownsville, staling
that Cobtinas and his hordo had attacked tho
latter town, killed four of lior citizens, and
threatened to sack and bum it, and asking
*bo Mexican colonel for military aid. Col.
AuftcitLEs replied,, ou tho samo day, that
not only the troops subject to his order, but all
tho good citizens of Matamoroß would bo
willing to assist in tho defonco of Brownsville
wheuovcr their sorvices wore necessary. On
tho 3d of October, Col. Aboeilles wrote to
liis official superior, tho Governor of Tamauli
pas, stating that bo had despatched to Browns
ville one hundred armed mon and ono four,
pounder to aid in the protection of her citi
zens, and he roccivcd a reply, dated October
10th, telly approving of bis proceedings.
Those friendly acts clearly indicate a dis
position on tho part of tho Mexican authori
ties to aid in the .protection .of their American
neighbors i but on tho other hand, various ac
counts from the sccno of difficulties stale that
imong the masses of tho Mexican population
i strong feeling of hostility to tho Americans
exists. It is certain that many of thorn have
joined tho predatory band of Cobtikas. Con
victs have escaped from somo of tho Mexican
prisons and swelled liis ranks. Tho postmaster
at Brownsville, in a letter to the J’ost Oflico
Department, dated November 2, says tho war
is emphatically « one of races and a war of
exterminationthat “ death to Americans”
is the cry in the streets of Matamoros, and that
it goes unrebnked; so that tho comparatively
small military foreo of the Mexicans, even il'it
possesses a sincere intention to protect tho
Americans, will ho powerless to resist a deter
mined onslaught from a largo body of tho
Mexican population under tho lead of Cor
cisas. Tho Brownsville postmaster, iu tho
samo letter, announces that a number of mail
carriers have been made prisoners by Cob
tinas ; that many of tho mails duo liavo
consequently not arrivod, and that he has boon
obliged to close tho mails on certain routes,
as any attempt to send them would certainly
fall. Tho acting postmaster at Kudyville, tho
neighborhood of which was robbod, lind bare
ly escaped with his life, and tho mnils in that
vicinity had all boon rifled. At tho date ot
his letter parts of tho town were barricaded,
and ovety man was obliged to Btand guard to
protect it. Tho scouts of Cobtinas sur
rounded tho town. More tbnn fifty of them
had been counted from ono housetop. They
had robbed nearly eveiy rancho within a rango
of thirty miles, and they commanded the coun
try without dispute up to within .four hundred
yards or tho market of Brownsville. Tho Cor
pus Christ! Rancho, of the 7th inst., stated that
that city was also in danger, but this report
has since boen contradicted. • The telegrapl
announced, on Saturday, that Cohtinas, witli
fifteen hundred >nen and nine cannon, has till!
possession of tho Rio Grande, from Browns
ville to Homo, and that Captain Tobin, witli
ono hundred men from Corpus Christ!, who
was marching to tho relief of Brownsviilo, had
been defeated.
While all these alarming reports are circu
lated, it is some gratification to know that in
telligence has been receivod at Now Orloans
that Brownsville continued to hold out up to
tho night of tho 3d inst., although her citizons
were, uo doubt, in a state of great exhaustion,
from their long.Qontinued watchfulness and
oxposure to danger. Their posifi on is a mo
dem imitation of that of the citizens of tho
walled cities of ancient times, who, when
boleagucrod by hostile armies, hopefully
trusted to thoir strong towers, while lor
woary days they scanned with lingering
eyes tho horizon for tokens of relief from
friends in distant quarters. Such relief, it is
to he hoped, will not bo long In reaching
them. In addition to the artillery company
ordered from Baton Rouge, two companies of
United States
rangers by tho Governor of Texas; and an
officer with sixty men left San Antonio on the
Ist inst., for the scone of distort co. Col.
Robert E. Lkk, who succeeded Gen. Twiaus
in the command of tho department of Toxae,
is a bravo and accomplished officer, and will
doubtless do everything in his power to rescue
the American citizens of tho threatened dis
trict from thoir present danger, and to restore
.penco and tho authority of our Government.
The announcement roado in tho St. Louis.
Republican, that tho Administration has deter
mined to seizo upon tho Northern States of
Mexico as an offset to the predatory operations
of ConriNAS, is perhaps unauthorized. If true,
it indicates a very peculiar policy. Corti.vas
has certainly no more connection with tho
legal authorities of Moxico than tho filibusters
which this country has sent forth from time to
time have had with our Govcrnmont j and what
would we think of a proposal on tho part of
Spain to 6eize Florida as an offset to the at.
tempt of our filibusters to dostroy the Span,

to snch a construction of tho Kansas-Nobraska
bill, and of tho Cincinnati platform, upon whioh it
was based, as accords entiroly with tho position
you now occupy and havo occupied from the begin

from this construction; when from the South comes
a declaration that no such meaning was intended,
and that we must havo other legislation in the vory
last degree offensive to Northern sentiment, and
io all the covenant* of tho party since 1854,Georgo
W. Jones comes forward and iusists that the bond
shall be compiled with. Ho tells the South that
they cannot retire from tho contract, and that, for
his part, ho Is for standing up to it faithfully. That
whioh is denounced as a heresy in. Douglas—that
which the craven Administration mercenaries in
tho North eagerly ridicule and reject—George W.
Jones declares to be the true Democratic principle.

whether they wouldhavo slavery or not.” The ver
dict of such a man outweighs a thousand of the

The friends of Charles James F&ulknor, late Re

Allan A. Hall, who shot and killed Mr. Polndex*
tor, the editor of the Administration organ, the
Union at Nashville, Tennessee, a few days ago,
is woll known in ibis city. He held office, I think,
under Fillmore’s Administration, and was connect
ed with George B. Gideon’s RtjntUit. Tho bit
terness betweon the newspapers In Nashville has
been kept np for many years, and that city has
been celebrated in f&ot, for its etreet-llghts, from
tho days of General Jackson to tho present time.
More than ono valuable lifo has thus been snori-
I fieed. Several of tho former editors of tho Union
\ havo been wounded, and, I think, ono or two
killed! Heretofore tho difficulties havo grown out
! of editorial contests between the old AVhig organ—
| tba Manner— and the Donooratic organ. Tho lato
fight, however, was betweon Mr. Hall, who is tho
editor of a paper established not long ago, called
tho jVirtr#, and Mr. Poiudoxter of tho Union,
The News, after pursuing a neutral course, ho.
came an Opposition journal, and has been latterly
criticising, with great severity, tho State Adminis
tration. Mr. Poindexter has had several ren
contres since ho assumed the editorial chair of the
Union , of whioli tho owner is, I believe, Mr.
Kastman, who holds tho place of travelling agent
undor tho Post Office Department.
I notice that somo of tho religious papers are
taking grounds against tho present plan of rotating
the sorvicos of the clorgymen of Washington city
in opening tho proceedings of the House and do
nate. The main objection Is that, undor the pro
gent system, a Roman Catholic occasionally offi
ciates- What moro significant evidenoo of the dan
i ger of religious intolerance coaid bo presented than
this ? Undor tho old pIAR, when a certain salary was
I affixed to the position, tho struggle fur there plaoes
1 was not calculated to olevAto tho oondidates in
the estimation of tho public, particularly when
they wero scon button-holeiug members of Con
i gross, and running from room to room, and from
1 one hotel to another, presenting their uncoial
olaims. When tho balloting took placo fa the
Senate and Houso, it was frequently characterised
by bitterness. A hotter spirit suggested a better
mode of disposing of these displays, and now the
clergymen of all denominations aro Invited to take
their turn in openlug tho proceedings of Congress
gratuitously. Thus eminent and unselfish minis
ters. who would scorn to put their characters up at
a sort of auctiun, gladly como forward at the oall of
the representatives of the people, and, us you may
well conceive, their prayer* ore not the less effec
tive because delivered wlthoutcoinpeusaUun. Now
there U no exclusive spirit prevailing. Every
minister of Christ is invited to participate, and
the spirit of our free Institutions is illustrated in tho
fact that the CAthollc and the Protestant, the Pres
byterian and tho Baptist, the Episcopalian and the
Methodist, alternately offer up prayers to tho Might
iest in the presence of the representatives of the
people of that Government where all soots and
creeds are tolerated, whero thero is no union of
Church and State, and whoro tho fullest freedom of
opinion Is encouraged and respected.
Tho Dumber of killed and wounded that Mr, Bu
ohanan baa bad to take eare of since bis malignant
course on the Kansas question would, if sot forth in
Frank Leslie's Illustrated paper, proaont au array of
shattered frames and broken bones, only surpassed
by tho list of slaughtered and injured after the
battle of Solferlno. Ills whole patrouagn and time
haro boon consumed in crying over the dead, and
putting tbo invalided into somfortablo quarters.
Tho good men and truo have been utterly lost sight
of in his efforts to reward tbn mercenaries who
bavo fallen In defonco of his blunders.- A horde
of these dilapidated and broken-down politicians
will, no doubt, be on hand during tho lost hours of
Us Administration demanding their n age?.
Wajaitt-strbrt TnRATnn.-—On Saturday eve
ning Mrs. Wallers engagement came to a termi
nation hero. In this closing week Mrs. Waller
had an opportunity, freed from tho tolls and tram
mels of an Improbablo drama, of showing the va
riety and individuality of her representations.
Kho successively played tho characters of the
Jhtchrs .« of jl lalft Imvgene, Lath/ Macbeth, and
Meg Marrilitf. Tho two hint for her bonofit, on
Saturday evening— Mrrbcth, tho character
in which eho first rnado her American roputation,
in this very theatre, and the other for tbo third
time in fivo nights—so groat was the popularity of
this truly wonderful representation. [Here, talk
ing of the benefit, let us say that this was no ficti
tious show, but brought ovtr seven hundred dob
larjt rath, receipts 1 The performance of Lady
Macbeth was, wo think, even finer than when we
previously saw it, though It is difficult to say in
what tho improvement consists.
As for Meg Merrilies, a greater creature on the
stage, as shown by Mrs. Waller, than mated by
Scott in tho novel—and this Id no treason against tho
genius of tho Ariosto ot the North—all criticism
upon it resolve* itself iuto throe words—U Is won
derful. We felt vexed, when wo saw that weird
woman eome on, at the loss of time caused by flho
representation of the first aot of tho play of ** Guy
attitades so ploturevqao; tbs tone, so tiuphaiic
and until nil; the glance bo power fnl in Its fnsolnn
tion; the conviction that the rnling Fate would
work out tho fulfilment of tho Bertram propbocy I
tho strong courage, the pathetie fidelity, which re
ceives its martyrdom in a doath-socne of un
equalled effect—theso combine to make this
tho greatost Meg Merriltes over seen upon
the stage. We cannot except Charlotte Cush
man's, wbioh too much mingled the harridan and
the virago, and nude telling molo-drama whero
Mrs. Waller rises to tho he T ght of loftiest tra
. gedy. We cordially repeat tho opinion, which
The Press was the first to express, that Mrs. Wal
ler has no superior as an actress. The publio have
scarcely boon able to form any Idea of hor versa
tility. Ilalf-a-doson tragio eharaotors out of about
twenty in wbioh she excels count for littio. Tho
grandour of Queen Katherine, tho tenderness of
Ophelia, tho purity of Imogen!, the pride of Lady
Mahel —theso, and more wo have to see and hear.
Again, wo have only heard, in this country, of hor
performances as a comedienne; wo desire to see
her Beatnee, Lady Teatle, Lady Gay Spanlet,
Kate O'Brien, and Maria, in tbo '• Daughter of
the Regiment.” She is a lino vocalist, and a good
harpist and pianist. Surely, when tho roturas
hero, at no distant day, Mrs. Oarretson will let tho
publio seo Mrs. Weller in a wide raDgo of eharao
lers. To morrow evening, wo believe, she per
forms at Albany.
Two benefits aro announced at Walnut-street
Thentro for this woek. lHace aux Dames so
we notice Mrs. Cowell’s first. On Wednesday evo
nlng she will tako hor benefit: tho performances
boing “Retributton,” “Smiko,”- from Nicholas
Niokleby, and theburlesquoof “Geraldlneo.” Mrs.
Cowell will play Smile. Is she not too plump and
protty t>r that starveling? Sho merits a full house,
and will have it, wo hope.
Mr. Reach, stage-manager, to whose supervision
and indefatigable attention tho audience, as woll
as the actors, aro so constantly and largely indebt
ed, has his benefit to-night. First, Vlotor Hugo’s
“ Ruy Bios,” translated from the French, (by Mti
damo Julie de Marguerites, it is said,) sud adapted
for our stage. It was writtou in 1858 for Frederic
Lemnitro, and played one hundred and sixty suc
cessive nights. Mr. Roach will piny tho horo, and
tho Queen will find a graceful and effective repre
sentative in Mrs. Cowell. There will also bo a bur
lowjuo upon tho play of “ Geraldine Frank Drew

was guccoodod, on Saturday, by tho rovivAl, with
alterations, of one of the Into William MoncriefFa
oneo popular dramas. When produced by him, it
was called “ Rocbestor,” we boliove, but at New
York, whonooitwas received hero, it was called
“The Fast Mon of the Olden Time.” It was put
upon tho stage in Mr. Wheatloy’s host manner,
which Is vory good. As for tho plot, we might «ay.
with Canuing’s Weary Knife-grinder—
Story ? Lord Me*« yon, I liai e none to tell, itir.’ 1
Iu foot, thero is scarcely a plot, but thcro aro
numerous sconce, full of lifo, fan, equivoquo, and
eccentricity, which kopt the uudionco in almost a
continuous laugh. • Moreovor, there are soverAl
good situations, and each act ends with ono of
thoso. The finale, when the characters, charmingly
#« costume as ehopherds and shepherdesses, dance
around the Maypolo, has as pretty a etago effoot as
anything that '-An well bo imagined, and, of itself,
is worth going to the theatre to seo. Mr. Wheat
ley played wicked and agreeable Rochester to tho
life, and Mr. Dolman’s Buckingham had a good
deal of dash In it, which camo unoxpeotedly but
pleasantly from this gentlomau. Mr. John Gilbert
Muddle, and Mr. Wal
lis (wheeo Tacileton in “Dot” was so much admired
for Its truth) mado a good doal horo of tho littlo cha
racter of Starvemouse, a mieer. Then, there was
Mr. Clarke, eccentric and uuliko the usual Clarke,
as RoeJuister's valet—a quaint bit of acting bis
was; and oven Mr. G. Stoildart, uho eommenly
is pretty much in tho timbor line, was mpootablo,
and oven moro than that, an tho stroller. Passing
on to tho ladies, we havo to pay that Mrs. John
Drow, as tbo Countess, looked ns if she had
scarcely got out of hor teens, and played with
spirit and truth, as usual. Miss Emma Taylor,
not being called upon for any groat emotional dis
play, was at ease in the part of Lady Gay.
Lastly,'Mrs. Stoddart was au excellent represent
ative of the heiress, and surely Mrs. Gilbert’s
Aunt Rebecca is not to be forgotten. This drama,
so excellently mounted and performed, is certainly
destined to havo a run at tho Arch. Wo doubt
wbethor it can bo better played or placed at Wal
laces. Mr. Whoatloy may safely qarry it on
until Christmas, when, no doubt, ho wilt havo
something novel and racy for tho holidays.
MoDokouoh’s Gaiktiks.—A now pieoe.called
“Pongo,” at this popular and well-conducted
theatre, has proved a decided hit, and will be re
peated every evening this week; It is capital in
its way. Mr. Andrew J. Levatt, the vooalist,
makes his first appearance hero to-morrow eve

procure the means wherewith to pursue hU studies.
In bU possession ho had a number of letters and

thies of the Chrisuans in America. Ameng these
was ono from Iter. .Stephen U. Tyng, I>. D., of New
York, and another from the Sfarqms of Beresford,
a member of the English Parliament. These letters
aro claimed to be forgeries. On the strength of
them, however, he had found a welcome into
church circles, and had obtained money for the
ostensible purpose of prosecuting his studies. In
aomo circles cur Herman was literally lionized. A
i great nHDy people, with that fondness for pomp
i ami nobility w peculiarly characteristic of a free
and independent people, literally doated on Lev
zynski a* the friend of a nobleman. For a little
tirno he ttas iu the richest of clover-fields, until a
letter from an Episcopal clergyman, in New York,
acquainted bis Philadelphia dupes of the true frets
of tho case. Oo tbo strength of this information
the Uerznau was arrested, and taken before Alder
