The judiciary in this country, in my opinion, is underpaid. ‘The judges of the Common Pleas in England, if my memory serves me correct, receive amaiory of $25,000 per annum, while the Queen’s Counsel gets double that, Our Ohief Justice should have at least $15,000 a year; the other judy about $14,000, the responsibilities of the station making the difference, say former's + answer.

THE ADVANCE OF THE BANK RATE IN LONDON to'five per cent, with the report of the failure of Some houses connected with Erie, gave at first a tinge of increased uneasiness to the feeling here, but ater, when an improvement abroad was an- nounced, a noticeable revival with restored con- ‘fidence was observable. Of course, with the sud- den outfow of specie hither, caused by the neces- sities of England and Europe to get our bread- stuffs jor consumption, Then it is opined there will come a sudden reac- | tion, and down go stocks again, and alter jolting up and down fora while they will settle at pretty mush their normal figures. As for the action of the Governing Committee in opening the Exchange to-day there was but one sentiment, that of re- Joicing at the resumption of business and as an in- ference at the restoration of the old confidence and the old state of affairs. The rush to the Stock Exchange this morning wiil be great, and if the scenes in the past were boisterous and demonstia- tive, we may fairly expect they will be equalied to- day ,though not, it is to be hoped, with anything like the ominous signincance they bore before the Jate closing. A Banker’s View of Relief for the Banks. CoLuMBIA, Pa., Sept. 27, 1873, To THE EpiTorR OF THE HERALD:— As financial relief for our country is urgent and demanded at once, I would suggest the following as the best means of rellef for the present fnanctal panic:— I would suggest to the President of the United States the propriety of convening Congress at Comptroller of the Currency to issue to each sol- vent national bank circulation equal to the par once, and that Congress passa law authorizing the | W4S leaving for home. sylvania, may differ as to the fittest man for the Chief Justiceship, yet they are ,of one mind as to the unfitness of Senator Conkling for this, the highest ofMce within the gift of the Chief Magis- trate. One who has gained distinction as a pub- | lie man through political machination is deemed by eminent jurists as being utterly unfit to occupy the Chief Justice’s chair, and President Grant is accredited with having such good sense that the appointment of such a person is not apprehended. The judiciary should be as pure as possible. A law- yer, and a right good one, appears to be the univer- 8a] sentiment of the bar, With a view of ascertain- ing the feelings of the judges of this district in respect to the appointment of the Chief Justice your correspondent visited anumber of them, and below gives their views substantially as expressed in the conversation that wac had about this mat- ter. JUDGE EDWIN H. STOWE. Tran across Judge Stowe just as Court adjourned for the day, and met him on the threshold as he “Ask me any question in criminal law you hive a mind to,” said the Judge, “but, cordially. I am not able tg express an opinron think him one of the ablest, if not the ablest, law- erin the United States. He isa man of great Meir of character, a good man, of eminent purity of life, : CoRRESPONDENT—You are not, then, in favor of er ae the appointment made from the Supreme enc! Judge McCaNDLEss—That depends upon whether equal ability and legal knowledge can be found there in comparison with that to be found at the Bar. Were I the President of the United States 1 should appoint a gentleman connected with the political party to which | have the honor to belong; and if! could find in that nate no one coming up to a high standard of legal and political knowledge I would discard political associations and appoint the ablest and purest lawyer of apy party to be found in the United States, CORRESPONDENT—Is a thorough knowledge of politics, tn your opinion, necessary to the fulfil- ment and proper discharge of the obligations of the Chief Justiceship? Judge McCanpLEss—There is a difference between a knowledge of politics and political Knowledge ; the former is partisan in its character, the latter indi- cates @ proper conception of government and its operation and effect upon the nation and the peo- ple; and these are properly essential to the dis- charge of the duties of the high position. Other qualifications for one occupying this office are possession of a protound knowledge of State, na- tional and international law, and a thorough knowledge of the constitution of the United States. Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore road as the intermediary fighting ground and the control of the through travel be: ween the North and Wash- ington as the gauge of battle. The prize is valuable enough to be worth fighting for, and every man of the hundreds and thousands of New Yorkers and others who goes to Washington has an interest in the result. With Tom Scott and John W. Garrett as the generals commanding, and all the wealth and resources and power of their respective com- panies at their backs, the struggle is not likely to be other than bitter and pertunacious, It has now just commenced, but the public are already feeling the effects of it. Until three months ago there was but the one railfoad between Baltimore and the national capital, and that was a branch of Mr. Garrett’s road. Of course the full tide of the enormous travel between the North and South passed over it, and its profits were immense, When the Pennsylvania Company began putting into practice its vast schemes of extension and absorption it cast an envious eye upon this splen- did company. Its relations with the Baltimore and Ohio never were cordial. The two have always been competitors for transportation of the com- connection, but it will not debar it trom such further alliances and enterprises as may be pre sented, THE PENNSYLVANIA COMPANY 1s not following this ‘masterly policy of inactiv- ity.” Whilst they have not relinquished their efforts to swallow up the Potomac, Washington and Baltimore Railroad, they have been steadily pushing towards completion an independent line ot their own between Philadelphia and Baltimore, So speedily and yet so secretly has the work been prosecuted that the line was within ten miles of this city belore any public mention was made of it, Mr. Scott bought up two old charters—one in Maryland and one in Pennsylvania—that had been granted to enterprises which afterwards fell through, and commenced to build in sections often or fifteen miles. The engineers and work- men were instructed as to the strictest secrecy, and it is only within the last few weeks that the purpose has become apparent. The road is destined to connect with the Northern Central six miles north of the city, and thence, passing through th tunnel, make @ junction with the Baltimore an Potomas. Such is the existing sttuation of affairs. The war promises to be fruitful of interesting develop- ments. Although the contention over the Phila- deiphia road is now a source of annoyance to pas- sengers, this will be but temporary, and the dh 4 gles of the railroad kings are certain tqeyd im increasing the accommodations of ihe traveling public.

The tollowing act was passed at the last session of Congress: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives oi the United States of America in Con- gress assembled, That no railroad within the United States whose road forms any part of a line of road over which cattle, sheep, swine or other animals shall be conveyed from one State to another, or the owners or masters ot steam, sailing or other vessels carrying or iransporting cattle, sheep, swine or other animals irom one State to another, shall confine the same in cars, boats or vessels of anv description for a longer period than twenty-eight consecutive hours, withont unlead- ing the same lor rest, water and feeding, for period of at least five consecutive hours, unless sort of an intelligent opinion, Idon’t know any- thing of the men that aspire to the station, but I trust whoever ‘the Executive does appoint will be eminently worthy to properly fill this high posi- tion. Iam a good republican, and, of course, am desirous that one who favored the crushing of the rebellion be appointed, and furthermore, one who is a good lawyer and a poor politician. CORRESPONDENT—Do you not favor the appoint- ment from the Supreme Bench ? Judge StowE—1 know very little about those that comprise the Supreme Bench. Judge Strong is avery worthy man, an excellent lawyer, and perhaps would give universal satisfaction; but of the othergentlemen mentioned in tnis connection I know so little that I don’t feel justified in making assertions regarding their fitness or unfitness tor the position of Chief Justice. However, I read with much interest the opinions of the prominent lawyers of the country as published in the HeRaLp in relation to the Chief Justiceship. JUDGE THOMAS MELION. Judge Mellon, an eminent jarist and a thorough gentleman, received your correspondent with cor- diality, and intimated his willingness to answer any question bearing on the Chief Justicesp in his power. “Judge Agnew, of the Supreme Bench of this State,’’ said the Judge, “is my man. I know sev- eral others his equal for the position, but they are ineligible by their politics. He is a lawyer; yes, sir, and something more. A judge should be sometning of a statesman. The Chief Justice should be a student of organized society, or civil Judge McCanpirss—They are all men of rare ability, but I would give my preierence for Jere- miah Bidck, as being eminently qualified for the po sition, Ido not know Mr. Conkling personally, nox do I know his reputation in the State which he represents as a United States Senator. I have read his speeches, and from them have admired him as a statesman of eminent ability. I am not apprised of the opposition expressed by the lead- ing lawyers of the United States in reference to his appointment, and therefore caunot say whether it is possible the President has or has not con- cluded to appoint him. CORRESPONDENT—Is the delay in the appoint- ment, in your opiuton, injurious to the interests of the country ? . Judge McCaNDLESS-Not at all, The Supreme Court is not in- seston, and some months will elapse betore Congress’ meets; consequently would not suppose there was any great need of hurrying the t.xecutive in his selection, JUDGE WILLIAM M’KENNAN, This gentleman is one of the United States Cir- cuit jadges, and resides at Washington, He is in some Manner related to President Grant, and itis at bis gouse and that of his neighbor, Sinith, at which the Executive puts up when he comes out this way for aday’s fishing. | encountered him in the Judge’s chamber, where he was lounging in a luxuriously cushioned chair, happy and con- tented, aud seemingly indifferent to the smash of railroads or the collapse of banks, CORRESPONDENT—I called, Judge, to learn your views of the Chief Justiceshtp and your opinion as to the fittest nan for the station. You are no doubt aware that the New YoRK HERALD has tor some time been giving the public the views of prominent lawyers of the country on this important matter, and if you have no objection I would like to have yours for publication, Judge McKENNAN—I have very decided convic- tions in relation to the Chief Justicesnip, but I most respectfully and emphiaticaily decline to make the Northern Central—a road which has now passed entirely under its control by lease. But so long as Mr. Garrett held the only route to Wash- ington Mr. Scott's party was obliged to keep the peace with him. When the latter obtained the New Jersey railroads it was nothing more than A LEADING FBAIURE OF A SCHEME | which had for one of its objects an independent route to Washington. This was accomplished in the construction of the Baltimore and Potomac and by connecting it with the Philadelphia road by a long tunnel sweeping half way around the out- skirts of Baltimore, and by which paszengers are conveyed directly throngh without entering the city. As all travellers know, the old method was to bring them into the Philadelphia depot at Balti- more, thence transterring them through the streets to the Washington depot of the Baluimore and Ohio Railroad, from whence they would take their de- purture South. This mode ja still relied upon by Mi Garrett's road, while the rival rouce passes through the tunnel, as already stated. AN INTENSE RIVALRY immediately sprung up, full-blown and active, when the Pennsylvania people had completed their schemes, They had the advantage of controlling the road from Philadetphia to New York, and they immediately set to work to divert the whole cur- rent of through travel to the Baltimore and Poto- mac. As to the means used to accomplish this end I shall speak further in this letter; but, it must be understood now that the Philadelphia, Witmington and Baltimore road occupies the position of the connecting artery between the two competitors.

The examination of candidates for cadet midv shipmen commenced on Monday morning, Conse- quently the town Is flooded with parents looking out for their young hopefuls, who trust that in time they wili become prominent naval heroes, like Secretary Robeson, for instance. The number of candidates is large, but has been comfortably decreased in comparison with the number who presented themselves in former years, @ re- sult due chiefy to the manipulations of the Examination Board, who have managed to throw out as many as possible latterly, because of the inability or alleged inability of the Academy to accommodate’ them, The fact is the Navy has. more newly fledged officers on its hands than it knows exactly wnat to do with. Another war is needed sadly to thin them out. Meanwhile they come in floods. The lollowing have already ar- rived here. THE NEW APPOINTMENTS. W. W, Russell, Rockville, Md., at large; L. V. Wilson, D.

The cotton market showed the same condition of expectancy as has been pre- viously noted, waiting for something to turn up. Cotton on spot met witt a lair demand, both for export and home use, at about steady prices. Ex- rters continue to decline dealing owing to the low rate of joreign exchange, and spinners only purchase for their pressing wants.

Judge Agnew displayed these qualities in his opinion in the Wasbington avenue case, re- cently decided, He shows a ciear ga antey gc of constitutional principles, and this is a great qual- ity which the people are beginning to perceive is rather scarce in our bigher courts. —Pri- vate riguts are ignored or trittered away by hair-splitting construction whenever they come in conflict with corrupt schemes clothed in the fashionacle foids o! special legislation, We all ad- mire the judge who is bola enough to brush away these flimsy covers of corruption, fabricated by viewed, (added the Judge jocosely) ; it wouldn’t do, So the writer leit the presence of this Juage, wondering if he wasn’t sincere in what he had said, and if his sincerity couldn’t be traced to a gieam of hope that he himself might be the next Chief Justice. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS, The Insubordinate Aldermen—Mr. Kehr roads; but to stand on an equality does not suit the ambitious ideas of the rivais, and the Philadel- phia road has been forced by circumstances into the attitude of the battle ground upon which each has sought and is seeking to gain the “upper hold.” The relations of the contesting parties in this connection have led to the existing condition of affairs, which I can best explain by stat VIEWS OF THE RAILROAD MANAGERS themselves.
