U). Salaries cf Judges. Among ottier important recom mendations made by Gov. Baker in his message to the Legislature, was the passage of a law increasing the salaries of the Judges of our various courts.' We think the recommendation good, and trust the Legislature will act in harmony with it. .Every intelligent man has been long convinced that it was impossible to secure the proper degree of legal ability and integrity to preside over the courts when the salary allowed was hardly one-third the income of average lawyers. We never could. see any good reason for pay-log a Judge a salary of only two thousand dollars a year, when the income of the various county officers ranged from three to eight thousand. It cannot be expected that the best men will consent to serve as Judges under such circum--stances. The dignity attached to the position don't pay a good lawyer for the pecuniary sacrifice. 4 ; As communities increase in population, and weakh and trade open up new avenues for circulation, various legal questions, of the most comply cated and contradictory character' are continually arising, which , require much legal research and experience to decide justly. Therefore we ought to have the best legal ability in the country to preside over our courts. We cannot hope to have it so long as we pay niggardly salaries. The disgraceful condition of the New York City courts ought to be a warning to other portions of the country. It is notorious there that justice is subservient to wealth, and the Judges mere creatures of the millionaires. Each distinguished Railroad President has his own Judge to issue injunctions and mandamuses as he may dictate. Innocent parties, by these shameful perversions of justice, are swindled and the entire judiciary of the country brought into reproach. It may be urged that the integrity of the Judge is not contingent upon the amount of his salary. Perhaps not, necessarily; but the smallness of the salary often determines the character of the men who apply for the office. Small salaries never stand in the way of corrupt men, if they discover in the positions to which they aspire any opportunities for acquiring money illegitimately. We have a few good Judges in the State. We ought to have many more. Let good salaries hi paid, and a much better class of lawyers will be induced to aspire to the position of Judges. Incorporated.

It would give us another Eastern outlet

the Vaba-r, Valley Rqsl and by

the increased competition wou'djCacure for us hotter rue for freight. In addition, the product of the entire Wabash Valley would ultimately seek a Southern market through our city. .The Soutli g the natural' market not only for tur own section pf .the State but for all the Wabash Valley, as well as for a greater portion of the State of Illinois. When the people south of us become sculed politically,, and devote all their attention to improving and developing the resources of their country, they j will find thai as it was before the war it will be more profitable for them to grow cotton and snsrar ana buv their . provisions from the agricultural States of. the North - west, than' to devote any of their land or labor to growing 'food. The ex change of these commodities will create an immense carrying trade, from which Kvansville cannot mi to reap a rich harvest. Therefore, u is the policy of oar people to encourage everv railroad enterprise,' and when possible to contribute liberally to wards their construction. ,., v -. .

The Allowing ex tract is j from, the letter, to which we allude: - - . ' I remarked yesterday that Andy Wiulace, the .classic centleman at present graoicfc the Presidency of th Board of Managers of the State Be nevolcnt Icstitutions, stood no chance tor re-election. Ill give no reason for the faith that is in me. Those wh live cloe about here have seen sev eral little items in the management o affairs t hat hardly cooiport with th professed ecooomical roanafemeut, o which we have heard much. " For ex ample: The Institute tor the Blin has connected with it an extensive shop, with much machinery, etc,, fur nishcd at the btate s expense, lh principal article of manufacture i this shop is known as "Bradshaw' Brooms." This Mr. Bradshaw, who. by the way, is a clever citizen, an ouly docs what most people would be apt to do, has,, for years past, been given free use of this shop, its machinery, tools, and the labor of over ninety boys and young men belonging to the Institution, who are required to work several hours each day, together with: the board of himself, and two hired men employed about the shopall free ot cost. , -. Out of this shop and machinery, these blind boys, Mr. Bradshaw - is making his "pile." There is talk am.ng the knowing ones that his proSts average not far below a hundred dollars per week. At all events, Bradshaw has "as good a thing as he wants," using language said to have fallen from his lips. , !Now, here is the point of the argument. If there is any money made by those whom the State educates aud maintains, oucht not the State, Jo have it? . If Mr. Brndshaw t an make a - hundred dol? l irs a week, or even ten dollars a week for himself in this shop, cannot that money be turned into, the Treasury for the support of its producers? It so, what kind . of economical management is it which permits it to be thus wasted year after year? Is it that kind that is calculated to inspire great enthusiasm in theattempt to re-elect hi ni', who, as President of the Board, is mainly responsible for this state of affairs? Scarcely. H-ence, my conclusion of yesterday. Jf I was misfaken in that opinion, I was also in the mental "make up" of thi9 General Assembly. Possibly this is not the only item of this 'economical management that might be named, but this will serve for the nocturnal meditations of 'our Legislators for a few nights to come. , . Illinois. f j. ? On December 1st, 13&1, the State debt was $11,246,210. During the two years following it was reduced by the payment of $2,607,953; $50,000 was added ly special act in 1807, and the payments since then have reduced the whole to $5,938,453 In addition to the payments on principal the State has, during the four years, paid for interest, exchange, premium on gold, etc., $2,314,514, which, added to the payments on principal, makes an aggregate expenditure of $7,651,796. 1 he balance in the T--asury January 1, IS), was $1,146,733. Of the State debt there will mature in 18C9 $6-10 -000, which, if paid, will leave'a balance of iunds now on hand of $5400il. Durinsr 1S69. there will K. , w ' - W. IV the balan ce remainin? after n;,,,. the matured debt, will leave in the Treasury, January 1, 1870, the sum of 1,801,676. In 1871, $3,258,000 of the State debt will fall due, and by the first of Jauuary of that year there will have accumulated an amount of revenue largely in excess of what will be req aired. Of the 36,000.000 acres of land 21 -000,000. are improved, and 10,000,000 are under actual cultivation. There are at present in the State eightyseven wool-carding mills, and one hundred and thirty-three manufactories of woolens,, with a-capital of $3,000,000 invested in buildings and machinery, and employing 3,450 operators, one-fourth of whom are women, and consuming annually 4 000,000 pounds of the 7,000,000 pounds of wool . dinned fro 2,500,000 sheep. The investment of capital in manufactures is steadily increasing. Additional coal shafts are sinking and mines opening, and the Sr'-'-v,,roduet ia not ie33 than 2,(KKj,000 tons of coal annually.
