WEDNESDAY MORNING... ..SEPT. 29 A. ii Elective Judiciary. The public sentiment in the Stat of NewYork, it ia thought, will demanda change in the Constitution of the State, in the revision that is about to occur, which shall re move the judiciary trom the area ok poliücs. Gome mode of appointment will be devised that will raise Judges above the popular passions of the day, and by a prolonged tenure of office, render them more independent , and reliable. The people are becoming disgusted with the sight of candidates for the highest judicial stations descending to the basest electioneering practices that are UGcd by candidates for the smallest political : oU ces. Whito members of Congress arc tfeliy. ering buncombe speeches, Judges on the Supreme Benches, and in inferior courts arc concocting buncombe opinions that arc to aid in securing a re-election, or pav the way for a party nomination to Congress. In this State the Circuit Bench is a place sought only by political aspirants, fur the purpose of exhibiting themselves to the people ; where a man with : but a small modicum of sense and learning, can make a very imposing appearance to the multitude by the affectations of the maimers and qualities of a judge. There are maaceuvers now exhibited at Indianapolis by candidates for, and occupants of, the highest bench of the Supreme Court, sufficient to disgust the people with the system of elective judiciary. It is revolting to all notions of judicial propriety to behold the ermine of our Supreme Court draggled through the filth and scum of the lowest siuks of pot house politics. The fault is not so much that of the aspirants as of the system. Ambitious men must seek the office ; and the system affords no means of attaining it, so long as it is elective by the universal suffrage, but by seeking the favor of electors by concessions to their prejudices and laying ? aside self-respect and official dignity, and courting the lowest, and a most powerful class, iu its degraded haunts of vicious indulgences. It is impossible, under such a system, that the judiciary should be independent, command respect, or impart moral weight to its opinions. It is upon moral power they can command, that the interpreters and admirdtra. t jrs of the law in a Republic must depend for its enforcement, and so fast as that power is weakened, is a necessity for the use of force created for its maintainence. A recent writer has given utterance to the following forcible and eloquent sentiments upon the decline of the Judiciary: " We may traverse sea and land on the wings of lightning ; we may cover the globe with a network of railways ; ourcanals may bo as the highways of the waters ; but without that silent, germinating, sustaining principle, late, all our labor, skill, energy, learning, and treasure will be of little avail, except it be to heap up and adorn the general rum. .Liberty and law are inseparable. There can be no liberty worthy of the name without law ; and law i3 but a dangerous pretence, a snare, a false light benefiting the wreckers of society only, if it be not properly executed. How is it with us in thi3 respect? It cannot be denied that the administration of justice throughout the land is defective, aud that it shares justly in the complaints that are made against the demoralization of the times. It has well nigh ceased to be the conservator of the safety, peace, and morals of the people. It ha3 become political and partisan, popular and dependent, than which four worse things can hardly be said oftbat departmcntof our government." Settlumest or ins Kassas QceaTiox. The South denies, in the most positive terms, that there has been any settlement of the Eansa3 issue ; it is still open, and the coming conflict on the question is to be more exasperating than ever. The Memphis Avalanche, an able, but an ultra-Southern organ, asks, how it has been settled ? By the English act aud the vote of the people of Kansas, of course. But is Douglas going to abide by the terms of the English act ? Not he 1 On the contrary, he avows his de termination to disregard and overthrow that compromise I Then there has been no settlement at all, and the pretence that there has been one is sheer humbug and deception. The Washington Union veil says: "Unlett Douglas shall declare that he Kill acquiesce in and abide by the English Billand until hi nominees so declare, he and they are as much enemies on this particular subject, to the great body of the Democracy of this nation, aa Lincoln or anybody else." Kansas will apply at the approaching session of Congress, with an anti-slavery con stitution, for admission into the Union, in spite of the provisions in the late compromise act and if it does, will not a struggle arise in Congress, headed by Douglas, who will seek a new triumph over the' Administration and the South, by overthrowing the compromise and forcing Kansas into the Union? Now, here i3 an important issue directly before us, to be influenced by this election, in which Douglas is again to exert his powers against the Administration and the South. We are surprised that a single man in the South can be found in favor of Douglas' election. They of the South are to abandon the men and the party which are true to them to abandon Breese and Reynolds, and Fitch, and to support a renegade. They are to arraign the President as " wickedly foolish," because he supports a party which has been faithful to his Administration on a great Southern issue which is yet surely to arise and they are to take into their embrace that man who has just abandoned and defeated them, and is prepared to repeat his gracious hostility. Official Drones. The Washington Union, some week3 ago, characterized a large proportion of the government clerkg in the city, as " miserable scavengers, who devote four. or five hours of indolence at their desks," and declared that "it is a nottrious ' - fact that more than half of the patronage of ibis government. is bestowed upon such unworthy and untrustworthy mas."

NlBLACK AGAIN FLOORED AT IIOME. The Vincennes Gazette is informed by a gentleman who went up to EdwarcUport to attend the speaking on Saturday, thatHovey is improving in his handknocks upon Mr. Niblack. Our informant says that Lecompton Democracy, in the northern part of the county, is in a bad way the hoops are all off, and the bottom out it's past praying for, and it will be sent to its final resting place on the second Tuesday of next mouth. He says that the leading Democrats of the upper' townships will vote for Hovevj . and that the entire opposition of Leconiptonism

and Bill Englishism will support him to a man. The white men of Old Knox don't believe that a nigger holder is equal to three voters who don't own a wench or a big buck darkey; aud, therefore, they won't vote for any man who tries to defend and who votes for mi j such odious, and unjust discrimination. Democrats who own their own souL and consciences will never do any such thing. The spaniels of power, who are lashed to the treasury, may do it, but inde pendent, free Democrats who believe in the EUAir hights of wuiTE mex, never can cast such a vote, and never can vote for Mr. Niblack. . - - 7 A Boy's Head Cut orr by a Kauroad Tiaix. The Cincinnati Gazette says as the train was comiug west on the Zanesville Road, on Friday afternoon, it run over a boy named Jonea who had quarrelled with his parents aud left home, and was wandering about the county and completely decapi tated him. " When the train came along, be was curled down between two ties, and the engineer did not see him till almost on him Jones then raised his head, but immediately laid it down again, with his neck on the raiL and the wheels cut his head off as though it had been done with an axe. The head was found some twenty feet off the track, standing on the severed neck, with the face toward the road, and looking natur ally,' except that it was very pale and the tongue out about an inch. The body was horribly mangled, it having been rolled over and rat and bruised by . the train.. He had been cracking hazlcnuts on the rail, and as he was out all the night before, it is P03?'lb!? tLat he stopped there for. that , purjmse, uuu mit hsm-tp", vi uo-jaiu uuvtu iucic with the, deliberate purpose of committing stticidc, : j ' ; , ' English Tbeatt with Gui?ta. The fol lowing is stated to be the basis of the treaty between England and China;:::; ; .'. First The residence of a British Minister at Tieusin, with access of court, and direct communication with the Ministers. .. An official viimun for him during his visits to Pekin. All official documents to be written by biin in the English language (to be ac companied by cuiuese translations until the Court ot rekin has procured interpreters) An English college similar to that kept up by Kussia to be allowed at Fekin. Second C'hiua U be opeu to all the world ; persons to go whither they please ana do wuat they please under a passport system. . Third The Yaug-ize to be opened to its commerce from its month to its-source. x Fourth Christianity to be tolerated. Fifth Indemnity for the war and losses at Canton to bo paid for by the two Quango, the amount to be agreed ou by special commissiuuers at Canton. The tariff to be corrected, the custom house system revised, and the English to aid the Chinese iu the suppression of pirai v. bixth lu proof of the friendship and good will of the Emperor of China toward the yuceu of England, a special embassy shall be scat to England forthwith. Tbe Washington Rcptillic relates the following fact ; " A near relative of a distinguished Southern politician has held a $1,200 clerkship in oue of the govern ment Bureaus for nearly three years, during which time he has never done a single day"s work in his office, although he has regularly drawn his $100 at the end of every mouth. For about three months last past, he has hired a substitute fort?G0 per mouth; but during all the residue of the time he has received his salary regularly, without, in any way, rendering the slightest equivalent therefor. These official drones are serviceable as political missionaries to circulate through the country during a Congressional Canvas. We have had the sight of two or three of them recently in this District. Kngllsta aud American Railroads. A work has recently been published proving that the English Railroads are a much lt!$ expense than American Roads, a fact that should startle every American Railroad man. The following statement of the comparative costs of ruuning and maintaining the roads in both countries, will astonish the reader. Annual expense of American railroads, $120,000,000 Annual expense of English railways, same mileage 80,000,00 Annual difference 40,0'tVJUO Average annual expense for maintenance of way of A meriran lines 33,0C',OO0 Average annual expense of English lines, same mileage 12,500,000 Annual difference 20,500,000 Average annual cost of fuel for American lilies 18,000,000 Average annual cost of fuel for English lines, saaie mileage 7,500,000 Annual difference 10,500,000 Total annual expense of American railroads 171,000,000 Total annual expense of English railways 100,000,000 Total annnal difference $71,000,000 So that for the same mileage there is a difference against the American system of 571,000,000 m the total expenses, whilst in the consumption of fuel alone, there 13, in the European system, less than 60 per cent. of tbe quantity burned iu our locomotives. J" Judge Law has made himself so con spicuous by his anti-Lecomptonism that his recent- course astonishes all parties. The Terre Uaute Union, an independent paper, Bays of it, that it is strange that Judge Law should turn his coat now, when he must know that Lecomptonism is fast passing into disrepute even with those who stood up for it at first. Buchanan must have promised him an' Envoy Extraordinary, or something Of the sort. His position now looks misteriouo evea to liio old friends.

Death of the Richest Han la Boston.

Mr. Ebenezer Francis, the well known capitalist, died in Boston on the 21st instant. The Boston papers gave the following aC- J i I i count of his successful career : The deceased was born at Beverly, Mass., October 15, U 75, and at his death was therefore nearly 83 years of age. He w the only son of Col. Ebenezer Francis, who was killed iu the battle of Hubbardtown, near Tkonderoga, July, 1777. He came to Boston in January, 1787, a poor boy, and ob- , ! j tained a situation in ine courumg room oi , . . .. -. .i .. a 1'2 the late Jonatban Harris, witn wnom ne was subsequently, several years connected in business." f : ; :" "X " In a few years," says the Bostori v Jownal, " Mr. Harris retired, the copartnership was dissolved, and Mr. Francis took a store on Long Wharf, where he engaged in the foreign trade and became a large ahip owner. He retired from mercantile business about 20 years &zo with' a larre fortune, but has greatly added to it since that period. He j hai been well known for many years past in financial circles as a lare dealer in negotiable paper and a conspicuous operator in other money transactions. His wealth has been variously estimated at from $3,500,000 to $4,000,000. : He had on deposit in the ba. t3 of Boston at the time of his death about $2,300,000, not having renewed any paper fo:- several months past., lie was al so a large owner of bauk .stock," mortgages, 4c ; it is understood that this vast wealth is subject to his last will and testament, made sometime since, and that the bulk of his property has been given to his heirs-at-laW. " -T He married (continued the manuscript) the eldest daughter of Col. Israel Tborndike, then of Beverly Of seven children; of this marriage, five are dead without issue ; the two survivors are the wives of X, I.. Bowditch aud Rotiert M. Mason. Esqrs. An other of his daughters was the first wife of the distinguished banker John E. Thayer, of Boston. - . Mr. Francis was for several years Chair man of the Trustees and President of the Massachusetts General Hospital, and to none more than him was that institution indebted in its early days his energy and good judgment having been of the utmost importance to this successful establishment. As President of the Suffolk Bank, he originated the svstem known as the "Suffolk Bank Sys tem," which has proved so efficient tt means of securing to our community a sound paper currency. He was President of the Cocheco Manufacturing Comyauv, and for a long terni of years a Director in various insurance companies and many corporations. As Treasurer of the Harvard College, he introduced order and system, where before there had been a great want of method and exact ness. He is believed to have left the largest estate everaccumulated in Xew England. TiiALDE&o's Sudden Departuee from Amekk a. It is known that , Sigismund Thalberg, the pianist, left his concert troupe in Illinois, and departed for Europe secretly and iu disguise... The cause was never publicly stated here, but foreign papers, since his return to I'aris, intimate that it was his seduction of M'mc D1 Angri's youthful daughter. The angry Corfuite was disposed to resent the disgrace he had put upon her child by a pistol shot, but the rascal escaped that, as well as the writs issued for his arrest. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. npEJ!
