It is also necessary that their talaries be fixed and cortain=at least that they be not liable to reduction; then the Judges know what to caleulate upon. Our fathers, who wero wise men, under- Ftood this» r, as they seem to have un- derstood alinost everything pertai true principles of government. ingly provided, in the Con n of the United States, that “the Judges, both of the Supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold Ueir offices during good behavior, and shall, ht stated times, receive for their service compensation, which shall not be dimin- ished during their continuance in office.” The Judges of the Supreme Court of th United States havo accepted their cilices un der this pledge; and the faith of the Govern. ment—-the faith of the whole people through the Government—stands pledged to its main: tenance, Has it been fulfilled ? If @ man promises to pay a thousand gold dollars, and he pays instead a thousand pewter dollars, does he fulfil his promise? You might as well ask whetbor, if a man promises to pay athousand dollars and pays 4 thousand cents instead, he has fulfilled lis promise. Whether it be an individual or a Government, it is all the same in point of rrinciple. Now, our Government went into operation on a specie basis, the salaries of the Judges were fixed on a specie basis, and when the older members of the present Court accepted their places on the bench, nothing but a specie basis of payment was supposed pos. tille ever to be adopted, Yet a depreciated currency has been palmed off on these vener. emen in payment of their stinted salaries, and in lieu of the gold aud silver which they hed a right to receive. This is a plain violation of the Constitu tion, It is a principle of law, and of equity too, that a wrong shell not be perpetrated by doing that indirectly which cannot be donedircetly, ‘The salaries of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court are fixed by law at six thousand dollars ; and the Consti tution—as we have already shown—provides that these salaries of the Judges “shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.” When they were fixed, specie was the Las's. The people, through’ the Gov- erument, contracted to pay tho Associ. ate Justices of the Supreme Court, each, six thonsond dollars a year in specie. That was the legal construction of the con: tract. Now what difference do whether, in the face of this con prohibition, of this positive stipulation, compel the Judges to accept two thou- sand dollars instead of six, or compel them to accept a depreciated currency, worth on} one-third the amount of specie? Is it not, in tubstance and effect, one and the same thing‘ And yet the Judges have been paid, for years in a curroney which, at one t ks three dollors to one Uifrd the value of sp Will any one conten: fucta, that not been vi that ti ries of the Judges have not been “diminished during their continuance in offic And will not Congress make amends for this injustice! Will they not repair the wrong by passing an act providing that the deficiency shall be made up, and that the arrearages due the Judges in consequence of their having 1 pir salaries in a depreciated eurrene) sal] be promptly paid to them? Congresamen have taken good care to raise thelrown} 8, indeed, pay in all branches of labor has been raised—-rnd to make it proportionate to the depreciation in the cur. rency ; but never a thought have they given tothe pationt, laborious, useful Judges. Yet Congressmen are not debarred from other lucrative occupations, ag the Judges are, If they are lawyers, they may still practise their profession; but this is forbidden by law, and very properly, to the Judges.

Pdnladadanes = ata teeitaiie Tho Duty of Congress toward Cuba. The Boston massacre of four persons by the British soldiery is generally con- sidered as having been the signal for the overthrow of English supremacy in the American colonics. The massacro of Caban patriows by Spanish authorities is equally entitled to be considered as the starting point in the extinction of Castilian rule in this hemisphere. Compared with Prior and Serrano, Gronas IL and Lorp Nona were cortainly angels of purity; and yet the violence Ly which they attempted to crush the Jibertics of an outraged people culminated in their utter defeat and in the loss of their colouies. Nor had the American colonies the right, as Caba has, to consider their allegiance to Europe terminated by the downfall and ex pulsion of the rovercign of the mother country, Yet the President of the United States wickedly withholds from Cuba the benefit of reeoynition and of moral aid that was yranted to us by foreign nations in the hour of our struggle, and while England was in iar greater fe Spain ever was in Cuba, It is the pri in these Siates than ary lucy of the representatives of the Amorican Ns grievous Mander of the Tn this way thor can ro- stige of American ipfluence and traditio: 8 coun sl policy of tt Cuba as an nN cominonwealth, The Brooklyn Blection Frauds.

There is the same amount of sense in {tas there is for a new army commander to dismiss all the corps and division generals and Gill their places with men from the ranks, But the point of my narration is this’ Cres- well, who was an ordinary lawyer in Maryland, had an ordinary law partner. He made this pertner his first assistant, thas making the De- partment ‘a snug company concern, The first assistant held on to his place less thana year.

Simply because t assumed that there is no war in Cuba, no dis. turbance here, no protection to our citizens necessary; and consequently, to send naval vessels here, where alone they are necessary, would be to contradict the assertion that all is quict here, and that there are no belliger- ents to be found.
