Theis ight {s only an extension of hisright. Mr. Farnsworth makosa vory good argumont to show that nelther ho nor any othor COongrossman has any right to tho “back pay." A fortior, he hos no right to give it away. Tho propor placo for It 1s tho Tronsury of tho United States, o anya that, if ho should roturn it to tho Trosaury, it would always be a tompting sub- oot of o olaim for himself or his roprosentatives. It is fair to prosume that, as Mr. Famsworth ‘ns rosiated the temptation to keop the money, ho could oqually rosist tho tomptation to claim it hereafter, eapocially aa it could not bo gotten out of the Troasury again without an appropria- tion by Congress. What his ropresontatives might do after his docease, he would in no wiso bo responsible for. Mr. Farnsworth has made & much bottor record, 88 rogards tho ealary grab, than most of his collengues, and wa theroforo rogret that ho did not add to it the crowning ‘merit of reatoring the money to tho place whora it bolonged. —e Tho Chieago producs markots were quiot and irrogular yeaterdsy.

Grant Parish, Louisiana, s the sceno of the first battle in the war of races that inoxorably follows the policy of arraying the nogrocs aso party againat the whites a5 a party, and making politics & question of racos. As far as can be gathored at this momont, tho troublo in Grant Parish arose concerning the distribution of the parish offices, The Lynch Returning DBoard igmored all tho officers’ olocted by tho poople in the parish, and Gov. Kellogg filled thelr placos by appointees of his own. Thesoe failed to qualify, and tho Governor thon orderod tho parties originally electod to assumo the offices, Most of theso moem to Linve boen MocEnery men, and it was the dotormination of tho Republican politicians of tho parlsh to keap thom out of tho positions to which they lLad been olocted that led to the bloody con- it of Sunday, and tho loss of more than s hundred lives. Undor tho instigation of ono or two white men, mombers of the Ropubli- oan Loglslature, who cavofully sheltorod them- selvos from any peril, tho nogroes armed thoms pelves and tool possession of the Court-Houso, and sl tho county ofilces of the parish at Col- fax.

These desperadoes plundored all tho plantations about, aud boarded stommera on the xiver for supplics of food snd othor necessariea. Mo roslst theso outrages and to rocovor pousossion of tho gov- ornment which had beon violently and unlaw- fully wrosted frem them, tho whites of Cirant Parish bogan to nesemblo about Colfax, and woro jolned by white men from all tho nelglibor- ing porishes, who know thatif tho movomant wore not crushed at onco whero it bogan it might imporil tholr own homes and local gov- ornment, The whitos at first attompted to hold s mass meetivg, but thoy were fow in number, and woro overawed by tho nogroes, who numbered hundrods, were woll armod, and under crafty and unscrupulous leaders.

Monnwhilo, all tho plantations of soveral parishos aro dosorted, tho crops are nogleoted, river navigation is intorrupted, and socloty and governmont aro in ohmos. Tho Btato Govornment has looked supinely upon the strugglo, whilo tho pross of Now Or- lonna nro oolling for a restoration of mil- itary govornmont, It s curlous coincidencoe that tho namo of the town snd tho parish— Colfox, in Grant Parish—whoro tho troubles oc- curred, should corrospond to tho names of tho Proaidont and Vice-Prosident under whoso ad- ministration wero sown 'the seods of this omi- nous slaughter in the enforcoment of tho illogal doclslon of a drunken Judge and tho recognition of n usurping Governmont, THE FARMERS AND THE SUPREME COURT. ‘Wo publish olsowhoro o tomporato and woll- moaning lotter from M. M, Hocton, Eaq,, Vice- Prosident of the Illinols Stato Farmara' Assoofa- tlon, on the attitude of tho farmors toward the Buprome Court, and tho views entortained by them of tho Alton Railroad declsion, Itis ovi- dent that Mr. Hooton is a consciontious man, and that thoso whom ho reprosonts, so faras thoy coincido with him, only nood to be convinood in order to sbandon any erroncous views thoy mey have imbibed from the speeches of dome~ gogues, or acquired by the procesaca of their own reasoning, As Mr. Hooton asks that he may bo sot right where ho is wrong, wo will en- doavor to tell whoreln wo think hois wrong, And first wo afirm, as a maxim of law, which cannot bo upeot by upsetting tho SBupreme Court, that o now Constitution cannot do anything in the way of abrogating contracts that a Logislature cannot do. Wo are not now discussing whether » railrond charter is & contract or not, but wo maintain tho naked proposition—n proposition which hag been ropeatedly afirmod and never donfed by judicial tribunals, and nover will bo roversod—that the powers of o Constitutional Convention to go backward and pass ex post facto Iaws aro not o whit groater than thoso of a Logis- lature. At tho timo the Convontion adopted the clauso directing tho Logislaturo to pass lawe Ax- ing maximum rates of freight and faro on rail- ways constructed priorto tho adoption of tho Constitution, wo oxprossed tho opinion fuat 1t was both inoporative and demagogical, and wo have soen 1o ocossion to change that opmion. Entortaining theso views, wo dismiss all that upon the assumption that tho Constitution of 1870 hus vosted the Leglelaturo with powers on this subject which it did not bofore possese, and como to tho othor pointa which ho secls to es- tablish, The first of these is that the Bupreme Court is about 100 years bohind the times. In anothor place ho eays that his romarks re- garding the Judges -apply to tho Bar gonexally. We are happy to beliove that thoy o apply to tho Bar gonorally,—that a study of order to got & Buprome DBonch to overturn the Iaw on the grouud of its boing 100 or 1,000 years old, it will be nocossary to olect s Bench com- posed of farmors, editors, weavers, joinors, tinkers, and bellows-monders, and othor pergons chosen with reforenco to their want of kuowl edgo of the law or roverence for it. If thero over was a time when it becamo tho logal pro- fesslon to atand in solid phalanx for the honor— yoa, the very existonce—of thoir profeseion, it is a thme when the doctrine is set up by a numerous ond influontial class that Judges aro to bounsgeated becansoe they adhero to tho common law—for this, wo take it, is what s monnt by law 100 yoars old. Itis diffienlt to answer tho charge that-the present Bupreme Coust is 100 yours old, and ia bohind tho times, and all that, Tho Judgos aro no older than thoy should bae to have acquired tho requisite learn- ingand oxperionco. To elect youngor lnwyors to the Bench will not help the matter any, unless their decisions are plodged Loforchand, either directly or indirectly,~-and & lawyer who would pledga his declsions beforohrud ought not more- Iyto be defeatod, but to bo expelled from tho Bar. Mr, Iooton's second point, is that the Court “attompts to rulo the country regardless of the wishes of tho people.” Tho Suprome Court of Xllinois does not attempt to rule the country at all, oither gccording to the wishos of the poople or against them, It recoguizes the fact that ruling the country is not ono of its func- tions. Its business {8 not to make law, but to doclsre what tho law is in disputed cases whon proporly brought boforo it. ‘Wo pro not clenr whit Mr. Hooton intends to say inhis third point, but will assume that he wmeans gomothing liko this, viz.: ‘“‘The Court concedes to the Logislature the right to ostublish the pricc of corm, or to fix tho rato of wages, or to sond men to prison without duo process of law (these bo- ing tho powors of an gbsoluls monarch), but it denios tho power of tho Logialature to intorfors with contraots.”” Our understanding is, that the Court doas not concede ta the Loglulatura cithex tho powers of an absolute monarch over the poo- ple, or the right to nbrogato contracts. Mr. Hooton's fourth point is, that the Court decides too many cases In the light of proce- donts, This is like eaying that a preacher takes too many of his toxts from Bt. Paul, or thata dootor makes too many proscriptions from ro- corded cages of ourcs in the medical books. Precodonts aro simply dooislons made aforotimo by eminont Judges in casos mora or Josu similar to the caso boforo the court. It is tho businoss in part of lawyers practicing in tho Supromo Court to collect and arrange provedonts which thoy deom relovant to tho causos of thelr olionts, A precodont may havo its origin in an English court, or in tho Unlted Btatos Bupromo Court, or in any of tho Stato Bupreme Courts, or ovon In the courts of ancient Rome. Thoro is only onokind ot aprecedent absolutoly binding on tho Suprome Court of Illinols, and that lsa doolsfon (uot & dictum) of the Bupreme Court of {16 Unitod Btatos, in o parallol caso whoro the gaid Unitod States Bupreme Court clonrly ued jurfediction, In such & caso & proco- dont e binding and imperative wupon all Btato Courts, In all other cases precodonts may befollowed or not followed, 2oro orlous weightis attached to thom according to the roputation of tho Judge or Court pronouncing them, If Mz, portion of Mr. Hooton's argumont which rests | the low londs to a reverence for it,—and that, in | Hooton monnn to imply that our Court have a ‘Slavish practico of following procedents, wo think ho {s groatly mistakon, If he mesna to imply that precodents should be oxcluded from tho detormination of causos, that would simply rovolutionizo tho law practico of tho country, and could not be brought about without expel- lng Inwyora from both Bonch snd Bar, The quostion whioh Mr, Hooton asks,—whethor this Oourt will docide *that & drunken or bribed Logislaturo may irrotriovably bind & sovoreign pooplo to tho fulfillment of rulnous contracts which may doprivo thom of all the atiributos of freomon,”—1s a question that wo cannot answor. It is » caso not likely to arise in practice; but wo mny eay gonorally that it la no part of tho functions of tho Bupremo Court to mako Loglslaturos,—atill losa to mako botter Loglala tures than the poople eloot. * Finally, Mr. Hooton saya “Tho farmors bo- liove that tho romody offored by the Bupreme Conrt s no remedy st all.” Wo anawor that they havo not trled if. Thoy have no right to ssy that it is no romody until they do try it. If the oxpense and inconvenience of prosccuting xailronds for extortionate chargos and unjust digoriminationa 18 too great to b borne by indi- vldnal sufforers, it is vory easy for the Loglsla- turo to provide machinery whoroby both the ox- ponse and tho inconvenionce shall bo borne by the Btate, A failure to do 8o will surely not bo tho fault of tho Buprome Court.
