JUDICIAL DECIS;OXS NOT LAW. —The

the failing to cripco due respect for the

r.eeive its recent dicta iu the Bred Scott

People than that of the PtXiple is by the ver

from an opiwon gtveh 20 yeafs ago in the

.tjpies-ses our views en the geuera] subject.
It was given by Jus'ice Piatt, iu the Court
for the Correction of Krrors, in the case of
Tales against Lansing, and is printed in 9
Johnson's Iteporls. Mr. Piatt said:
'-The decisions of Courts are not law:
they are only evidence of the law. And
'his evidence is stronger or weaker accord
ing to the number and uniformity of ad
judications, the union or dissension of the
ridges, the solidity of the reasons on which

and precision with which tliose reasons are
expressed. The weight and authori'y of
judicial decision depend also on the duiraciir

An adjudication at a moment
when turbulent passions or revolutionary
frenzies prevail, deserves much less respect
than it it were made at a season propitious
to impartial inquiry and calm deliberation."

A CHAPTER ON COMETS.
FROM THE MONTGOMERY MAIL.
Messrs. EDITORS* A paragraph is going
the rounds of the papers relative to the
probable annihilation of our little wrb by a
Comet, computed, by a Belgian priest, to
come in collision with it some time in June
next. However extravagant such specula
tions may be, like all things pertaining to
the marvellous, "this doctrine hath its fol
lowers." 1 was gravely asked, the other
day, if I were not afraid the earth would
come to an eud in June! The age of Mil
lerisui, it would seem, has not entirely pas
sed : and so long as the credulity of the
rnasaexceeds the learning of the few, we
shall, no doubt, have this alarming prediction
thundered in our ears. That the advent of
a couiif, in the limits of our own system,
should ex rite within us feeling? the most
profound and reverential is hut a natural
result; but that we should regatd them
with a childish apprehension is to betray
our own weakness and to question the wis
dom of Omnipotence. When, however, we
reflect upon the amazing velocity of these
bodies, and the seemingly random nature of
their movements, the mind naturally shrinks
as though in danger of actual collision.—
The effects of such a shock would indeed be
awful in the extreme, "producing an entire
change in the now fixed laws of nature, and
the destruction of every vestige of human
life. A new ditection would thereby be
given to the earth's motion; it would revolve
around a new axis and in a new orbit: a new
equator would be found, to which the seas
and rivers, forsaking their beds, would be
hurrid, by a new centrifugal force, thus
deluging the fertile and habitable
of the globe and leaving only their now
fathomless bottoms bare." But when we
reflect that to two hundred and eighty-one
million of chances there is only one un
favorable—or that the danger of death to
any one individual is but as it in an uiu were
placed that number of white balls and only
one black, and his condemnation depended
upon producing the black at the first drawiug
—the loUeiy is so unequal that the danger
seems to exist but in a diseased fancy; and
all theories are but as idle words compared
to the declaration that "all things are turned
round about Ilis counsels, to do whatsoever
He coin msmlcth them "
The hi.-tory of comets, however, forms one
of the must interesting portions of astronom
ical lore; an J it is one of the prouuest
triumphs of humanity thai, though
'•from world to luminous world, as far
As the universe spreads its filming w.iils,"
these wandering orbs may wing their cease,
loss flight, yet the hand of science points with
unerring certainty to the hour of their rt
taru A plane view of the solar system,
from the condensed representation of them
iti diagrams, exhibits somewhat the appear
ance of a tangled skein of silk, so nuineroog
ate the crossings, turnings, and directions
of the various planetary orbit.-; and to think
that among this seemingly tangled map of
countless worlds an immense body is hurled,
<s though at random, with a velocity beyond
the retell of huujau conception, must surely
awaken within us a scuse of such sublimity
as to mock all thoughts of human greatne.-s-
The belief that the revolutionary periods ot
'hese bodies must all necessarily bo of the
most prodigious length was maintained by
astronomers every where till within a few
years, when it was ascertained that there
were two whose orbits lay comparatively
within our own neighborhood. Oueof these
it was pi edict ed would corn* in collision
with the earth in 1832. Its orbit was e=ti
in.ited to he so near the earth that had the
earth been at that poiut nearest the comet's
path, and the lawless comet been in its
perigee at the same time, the earth would
have been enveloped in the nebulous atmos
phere of the comet. This proximity, no
doubt, gave rise to many curious specula
tions on the subject, and, were the gravity
of their atmosphere equ*l to that of the
earth, the most alarming results might have
ensued. But is this, as iu all thing- else,
we recognise the wisdom which fashions
and the hand which guides. That the ex
treme tenuity of these bodies is such as to
obviate ail ajprehensions 'from their vicinity
is reasonable from tbe fact that the smallest
stars are visible through the densest pirt of
them. And, while they are themselves sub
ject tor tbe most powerful attraction, they
exercise no appreciable influence on ether
bodies, is established from the circumstance
that "iu 1770 a comet was actaally known
to become entangled among tbe satellites of
Jupiter, and to have remained there nearly
four months," yet no appreciable variation
was perceptible in their movements. The
idea of a perfect vacuum was also the pre
vailing opinion, till the existence of a 're
sisting medium" was demoted by the vapory
elements of comets. But the real use of
these seemingly lawless bodies in the econ*
omy of the universe has ever been, and pro
bably will ever remain, a matter rd specu
lation among astronomers, consequently
many vague theories have been advanced
concerning tbem Whistou, the friend and
contemporary of Newton, supposes that the
deluge was occasioned by a comet, and the
same fantastic author hazards tbe conjecture
that "they furnish the abodes of the damned,
whose punishment consisted in being wheeled
from one remote point of creation to another,
thus undergoing the most frightful ?icssi
tudes of heat and cold." But such theories,
howevor ingenious, have no basis of facts to
rest upon, and must, of course, ultimately
fall before the simple and plain teachings of
BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE.
t •
the Bible, wbicb, though it offers no clue to
the mysterious locality of another world,
yet leaves ns no room to doubt iu realization
in an awful or blissful eternity. Comets
have, n all ages, been regarded by super
stitions people as the harbingers of dire
calamities, such as wars, pestilence, or
famine; and it must be admitted that ex
perience ani observation have not fended to
dissipate this illusion, for even in our own
day we have seen bow the beautiful comet
of 1853 preceded the desolating sirgt of
Sebastopol, and the consequent prostration
of commerce throughout half the civilized
world. But soch coincidence?, however
remarkable, are DOtliiug more, and can
therefore take no bold npon the established
principles of science and truth, which alike
discard all false conjecture, and rest forever
upou the basis of eternal wisdom and Om
nipotence. M. M.

MC ROARS. —ON TUCRSDAY NIGHT of
last week, two aged persons—a roan named
Geo. Wilsou and his sister Mrs. M'Master,
who was keeping house for him —living near
M'Keesport, in Allegheny county, this State
were brutally murdered. A niece of their'*
of disreputable character, and two men,
Henry Fife aud Monroe Stewart, hare been
arrested on suspicion of being connected
with the murder The old folks lived alone
aud were known to have some money in
thier posestrion, which, it is thought, ied to
their murder. Suspicion first rested on the
niece, but the whole party were arrested,
when Miss Jones made a confession in
which she says she was forced by the two
drunken men to driuk brandy and then to
show them to the house,an! call her Uncle
up, when ibey rushed in, murdered ihent.
and rifled the trunk that had the money, of
which they gave her one dollar and fifty

We have referee ce to !>r. San ford's luvigora

almost too great to believe, were it not lor the

Dr. Sanford has been for a long time one of
