A bill is now before the Legislature, for the purpose of separating Juniata county from the Ninth Judicial and attaching it to the Twen tieth District. The controversy involved in this proposal, has elicited many, very many grave facts in justification of the change. One of the main reasons, as a matter of ecomony to those interested, is the fact that Graham, President Judge of the Ninth District, resides in Carlisle, a locality remote from Mifflintown —so distant, in fact, as always to preclude the possibility of the Judge to arrive on the. first day of each court week. The delays at tending such failures have long been a soarce of vexatious embarrassment and heavy elpense, throwing the county into great costs and com pelling plaintiffs and defendants to incur an outlay which has in more than one case proven actually disastrous to the course of jus tice. If Juniata county were attached to the Twentieth Judicial District, all these expendi tures, delays and embarrassments would be avoided. Judge Woods, of the Twentieth District, lives at Lewistown, which is but twelve miles from Mifilintown—a vast differ ence between the distance from Carlisle. While the people of Juniata county hue their claims to a change in the Judicial dis trict an considerations of economy and facility in the proceedings in their courts, they allege other and weighty reasons in justification of the change. All who are acquainted with Judge Graham know him to be a partizan of the mostmalignant stamp—a bitter, unrelent ing and persistent adherent of the most de based school of copperheads—who has not hesitated to insult loyal men appearing before him for justice, and whose partizanism has . been carried to such a distance, as to compel many of the citizens of Juniata county to incur . great loss, before they will trust the adjudica tion of their claims or the settlement of their rights to his judgment. This is certainly a woeful condition of affairs. There is nothing like it in the history of the ji i i.dieifiry of the • Commonwealth. It cries aloud not only for amelioration to the citizens of Juniata county, but it suggests that a Judge so forgetful of his honor and oath, should be forced to come down from•the bench which he degrades—sur render the ermine which he has. soiled, and take his place where he belongs, among the pot-house politicians of the patty in whose fealty he thus sacrifices all that is dignified, pure and impartiaL —The whole subject is now beforfithe Leg islature. While it is being considered - in that body, we have ventured thus to call public at tention to the facts involved, not that we de sire to interfere with what appears to be an entirely local difficulty, but that we might write a word in favor of our suffering friends in Juniata county. So far as the principle involved is concerned, it interests all men that the Judiciary should be preserved pure, and that our Judicial districts be so , organized, geographically, as to meet the wants of all the people. We repeatsthen, that we trust the change thus asked for will be speedily and gracefully authorized by the Legislature. lEurrope'a Danger and Our Security. Latest advices from over the water represent a bitter conflict in progress in the British Parliament, upon the subject of the Danish and German war. There is a considerable' party in England'ansions for . the British Gov ernment to take a hand in the contlitent4l strife, by affording material aid to Denmark.' The leader of this party is the brilliant a* headstrong D'lsraeli, who in a recent speech in Parliament accused the British Government of timidity, if not of a dishonorable backward ness in coming to tho rescue of the hard pressed Danes. The latter have unquestion• ably relied upon assistance from England, in, entering an unequal contest with powds vastly their superior as Prussia and Austria; and beyond question a majority of the Eng- % lish people feel inclined to come to their help. A. strong bond of Ettlection has recently been' established between Denmark and England, by the marriage of England's proSpective King, the Prince of Wales, with a Danish. Princess. With a strong influence for !intervention from that quarter, backed up by gpopular en - thusiasm, and a natural sympathy for the weaker power in a conffict, it may prove a very difficult matter for the British 'Govern ment to prevent dfifting into the breakera of war. There is no goveniment in the world, save that of the United States, which is so much controlled by popular impulse, as that of Great Britian, mad, .shpuld the war boa, which is manifestly rising, come to the full tide, Queen, Ministers and all must give way before its billows. There are indications to which the Ameri can public cannot be insensible. " 17iider •dinary circumstances a war in Europe would be to us a matter of indifference, save as it affected the demand for the products, of our soil, and appealed to our feelings of humanity. It would be prinicpally a question of dollars an cents with us. Now, it is vastly m ore than that. It would be, 'perhaps, scarcely right and proper to, wish ; pvii. to any people; but at the present j undue, anything which will keep the hands of Europe out of our domestic oafs • must be looked upon as a God-send. —Nothing will prove so .--disgiouraging4o ~t he more intelligent Confedeiates, as the prqii`pect of a gene* EuropeanNot i fi*ith." standing the praggartism of the Southern press, in professing.contempt for the dilato riness of Prance and England in recognizing their rebel government, the dream of recog nition has been one of the strongest stimu lants to. the Southern leaders. Indifference upon the subject would naturally be feigned to keep up the spirit of the masses, but the leaders-are sharp enough to understand per. feAl* the advantage such recognition would _give them. Nor have our - . covii rulers been blind to the fadt. The Trent affair and the whole drift of Mr. Seward's policy has been shaped with a view to this aspect of the case. As the cloud thickens over Europe the sky grows clearer over America. Personal and Political. In reference"to one of the Philadelphia del egationin the House, the Germantown Tele graph says: When we saw that Mr. d osx D. WATSON had been chosen to the Legislature from" one. of the city districts, there was not the lead doubt upon our mind, knowin , r, his integrity and honesty of iMrpose, - that he would make a valuable member. This fact was demonstrated the first few weeks of - the session. But he is not only an honest and hard-workir4" man, he is' a teridy mid aSt elo gent debater; as is acknowledged by those most capable to judge. His speech on. the Raid Indemnity Bill, is characterized as one of candor, eloquenee and powei, and the , ablest effort Made' th.e.House this _session. Jons 35.171iPECY, a formes resident of Dal les, Oregon, recently - eloped froin Boise river with a Miss Cunningham, who is said, by a California :paper, to be a daughter of Mrs. CUnningham, of "Burdell murder" notoriety. The .Detroit Tribune, of Fripy, says that Vallandigham left Windsor; opposite that city, a few days since, for: the 'East, 'in com pany with a spiad of runaways and deserters.

Surely, not , those who have children that wilt soon be of a sufficient age to enjoy -the advantages of such schools! Unless - we. - have such schools we must have private schools of that kind and pay heavily for.. tuition, ' and pay *our: school tax beside.' Marty of our citizens are paying twenty to fifty dollars school tax. and from fifty to one hundred,dollars to mule and female private schOids— :Slitudd such 'persons object to having really good corhinon sehools to which their children could go without any additional expense, than perhaps a slight in crease of their present school tax.?
