BALTIMORE. TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1860 The MAYOR yesterday returned without his sig nature the ordinance, passed last week by the Council, entitled "an ordinance to establish a "police for the city of Baltimore." From Annapolis we learn that the Baltimore Bills were received in the House from the Senate yesterday, and referred to the Committee on Judi cial Proceedings. They will be reported to-day, and read for the first time. A large crowd, re quiring a train of five passenger cars on the Annapolis road, was in attendance yesterday, thronging the rotunda of the State House, and the lobby of the Delegate Chamber. The STUMP Committee met, according to appointment, but adjourned, without doing anything, until four o'clock in the afternoon, when it was understood that the examination of witnesses would be pro ceeded with. A circumstance occurred yesterday which, we are sure, our readers will regard with equal surprise and disapprobation. Mr. KIDD chief Clerk of the House, being absent on account' of the death of a friend, the SPEAKKR was author ized to appoint a clerk pro tem.i and thereupon appointed Mr. C. P. MONTAGUE, one of the State Tobacco Inspectors of this city. Now we should imagine, on general principles, that a man holding the State's commission for an important office, would have no time to attend to the duties of Clerk of the House of Delegates. But we do not put our opposition on this ground, although a sound one. We put it on the ground that no mail made himself more disgracefully conspicuous, in the discreditable scenes of the late elections, than this Mr. C. P. MONTAGUE. That the House may judge of his political status, we ask attention to the following card, cut from the Clipper of the 25th of October last. THE "c. MONTAGUE." Whose name appears as one of the signers to the call upon W. G. Harrison, is not the undersigned, Tobacco Inspec tor, who is a Davis man for any place he would aspire to, and who will vote, as he has always done, the AMERI CAN TICKET, without an erasure. C. P. MONTAGUE. Thi3ought to be sufficient in the present House of Delegates, and we have no doubt it will be. As the subject is now up, we may as well say that this individual is one to whom we have long de signed, especially, to invite the attention of the Senate, in case the GOVERNOR should renominate him to the place he now fills—and we are, there fore, utterly amazed at this unexpected endorse ment of liiin, especially at a crisis when disloyalty in so important an officer might put in peril all our hopes of reform. We trust this action will be promptly reconsidered and annulled, and we know that we speak the unanimous sentiment of honor able men of all parties, in making the suggestion. We, of course, attribute the Speaker's course solely to want of information. It is to be hoped that in the multitude of the good works of charity and mercy which the Legislature have to do for this devoted city, they may not lose sight, for a single instant, of the fact, that without the removal of the Judge of the Criminal Court from the place which he dishonors and abuses, the rest of their labors will be almost as naught. If there could be an honest doubt, upon any decent man's mind, as to the utter and hopeless demoralization of the tribunal over which Judge STOMP goes through the maudlin form of presiding—if there could be a shadow of excuse, palliation or apology for the open violation by him, day by day, of every duty and decency of his office—it there was any hope of amendment, any prospect of remedy, any single place of refuge for the outraged and dishonored laws—we should be less deeply and painfully anxious for justice to be done to our people by his expulsion from office. But the ultima Tittle has been reached—there is nothing beyond. Better that the doors of the Court be shut, and that lawlessness and outrage have free range in name as in feet, than that things continue as they are. Better that there be no law, than that the law be made a by-word and a sorry shame. Better that there be no ermine of justice, than that it be dragged through the filth and abomination of the sewers and the stews- If the Honorable Bodies who have the matter in charge, could sit, for one day only, in the pres ence of Judge STUMP'S administration of the laws, they would need 110 advice, no suggestion, no supplication. The thing beggars description—it must be seen and heard to be comprehended. We understand that the learned counsel of His Honor has taken defence before the Committee upon the forms of proceeding. He requires speci fications, as in an indictment, and a hearing be fore the Legislature as n tribunal of impeachment. We readily understand that, unless there be a defence on the forms, there can be no defence at all—for surely'the substance admits of none. The course adopted is, therefore, the natural, beeanse it is the only course. But the Constitution con templates no sucji thing, ft prescribes an indict ment, as one mode of getting rid of a bad Judge, and a removal by the GOVERNOR, "upon the ad "dress of the General Assembly"—provided that two-thirds of each house concur—as the other. The latter remedy is given for precisely such flagrant cases as the present—addressing them selves to the conscience of the Legisla ture and their common sense of propriety and right. To 'preserve the accused from any possible injustice, a vote of two-thirds is required; but the meaning of the Constitution is, that when ever two-thirds of both Houses are satisfied that a judge ought to be removed, they may and should address the GOVERNOR for his removal, without other form. If testimony be taken before the Committee, if the accused attend, cross-examine the adverse witnesses and produce his own, and the whole be reported by the Committee to both branches of the Legislature for their consideration —what more does justice require? If it were to be a formal impeachment, by the Assembly, why talk of an "address" to the GOVERNOR? The two things are perfectly distinct and so well known to be in constitutional legislation. It would be sim ple folly to allow a judge to be removed by the verdict of twelve men, for "misbehaviour," and yet require two-tliirds of both branches of the Legislature to put him out for the same thing.— The "address," therefore, is not required to be for "misbehaviour," technically speaking, in office. It may lie for anything, which, in the judgment of two-thirds of the Legislature, may reuder a judge unfit to be where he is. Suppose that a judge were drunk, every day, in the public streets —drunk, every day, on the bench—drunk, every night, at liar-rooms and taverns and worse places, and the facts were proven before a Committee of the Legislature and reported incontrovertibly to the General Assembly—can there be any pretence for saying that the judge must be impeached—un der indictments with specifications—and tried, like Judge CHASE or WARREN HASTINGS? The thing does not hear arguing. It is but a techni" cality, an ingenuity, an obstruction and a delay. The facts in Judge STUMP'S case cry aloud. Ev ery man, woman and child in this community, knows them to be true. In the name, then, of all that is iiist and decent, let the Legislatnre give them its ear, and that speedily. The case of the State vs. Gale, which was tried last week in the Criminal Court, illustrated one of the many evils arising from the present system of trial by Jury. Twelve men were locked up in order to compel them to pronounce a unanimous opinion upon a certain state of facts. If they were conscieutious they could not compromise the matter, and if they were rational they could not be convinced by being subjected to disagreeable treatment. When they went out on Thursday it is to lie presumed they made every effort to agree upon a verdict before Friday morning, but when the Court met on the last named day the Jury seemed to be as far from doing so as ever. Twice rriday they protested their inability to come to any unanimous conclusion in the ca-se, and they were as often told that until they all did take the same view of it they must remain imprisoned. On Saturday they notified the Court three times that it had become utterly impossible for them to render any verdict, 'out the Court still declined to discharge them and persistently insisted that tbey should "sr*iue on something." On Sunday morn ing one of the luckless prisonej-s cut the Gordian knot he had so long essayed to disentangle. He settled the case stimmaiilv by runuing away from it. This proceeding, of course, effected the re lease of the Jury, the remaining eleven being lib erated by the Court yesterday. They went off rejoicing, notwithstanding the feet that their un fortunate colleague had secured their freedom at the sacrifice of his own, for he was sent off to jail where the Court directed he should be confined for three days to expiate his contumacious conduct. Was there ever, in any age of the world, a more preposterous method resorted to to make twelve men sincerely and undoubtingly believe the same thing? Is there any law left standing on the statute book which is more suggestive of a barba rous epoch than that which provides that a Jury shall be shut up without food, fire, or candle, until they can all take the same view of the law and the facts submitted to them ? \V would not be understood as intimat ing that J'idire STUMP did, in this instance, any. thing but wh.it he was fully authorized to do, uor have we any reason to believe that the jury was inexcusably refractory. We presume, on the con trary, that its members made every effort that was consistent with their honest individual convictions to agree upon a verdict. But the case not the less exemplifies the absurdity of the law as it now stands, and is suggestive of the evil consequences of which the present system is so frequently pro ductive. One unscrupulous man may, at his pleasure, defeat the ends of justice; and weak, though well intentioned persons may b?, and often are, compelled, by their more obstinate colleagues, to surfender their honest doubts and consign a traverser to punishment, without being sure that lie deserves it. It seems to us eminently proper that some alteration should be made in the existing laws. Either two-thirds of a jury should be em powered to render a verdict, or they shoald be en titled to be discharged when, after a certain reas onable period, they fail to agree. But it is dis graceful to a civilized country to maintain that a jury should be treated like the one in GALE'S case has been, or that truth can be eliminated by such a process as the law now prescribes. To-day the application of the Maryland State Agricultural Society for relief, after having once, we think inconsiderately and unadvisedly, been rejected, conies up again for action in the House of Delegates. We wish to record our hope that the application will have a favorable hearing, and that the very small appropriation asked for will be conceded. There is certainly no way in which theState'sbounty can be more judiciously bestowed than in fostering the greatest interest in the State. We ask the farmers and planters of the General Assembly to be liberal to themselves and to their constituents. They need not fear that other inte rests, which all manage somehow to receive their share, will consider that they have abused their control of the purse-strings by this small grant for their own direct and immediate benefit. Balti more, which pays so large a portion of the revenue of Maryland, far from feeling any opposition to so reasonable a donation, is really amazed at the moderation of the demand, and would cheerfully vote a much larger amount to so worthy an ob ject. It is altogether better for the interests of agriculture that the Society should not have to rely exclusively on its receipts at the gate to de fray its expenses. Experience has demonstrated, that for the sake of attracting a paying crowd, it lias more than once been induced to counte nance exhibitions within its enclosures certainly not germain to the object for which it was institu ted. It should be made independent, and placed on a stable basis, if it 13 to effect all the good of which it is capable. The Legislature of Georgia have just voted fifteen thousand dollars to their State Agricultu ral Society, to relieve it of its present embarrass ment, and twenty-five hundred dollars annually to support it hereafter. The position our State has attained in growing live stock is established by the great exhibitions at Chicago and St. Louis in September last, when she carried off upwards of one thousand dollars in premiums for Devons, Alderneys and Ilerefords, exhibited there by two of the officers of our State Society. This should certainly create a feeling of pride among our le gislators, and induce a unanimous vote for the small stipend asked in behalf of this useful corpo ration. The Society must cease to exist without this appropriation. COMPLIMENTARY CONCERT. —The concert this eve ning at the New Assembly Booms, in compliment to Mrs. Curley (formerly Miss Walter), under the direction of the experienced leader of the Cathed ral choir, Joseph Gegan, Esq., promises to be one of the most attractive amateur performances ever attempted in this city. The best private talent has been freely tendered in aid of an estimable lady, who has contributed so often and so largely herself to others. Mrs. Curley is well and most favorably known as the director of the choir of St. Ignatius' church, which responsible position she fills with entire acceptance. We trust that she will be greeted by a full and appreciative audienee. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE IN ENGLAND VIEWS OP THE PRESS. [From, the London Times, Jan. 11.] About this period in each recurring year it be comes our duty to make some remarks "on the Mes sage of the American President. Though these documents are often read with less immediate in terest by English politicians than the manifesto of some second-rate European potentate, vet those who have time to pursue them in all their immod erate length will generally receive instruction.— The American political style, though often tedious, is seldom empty or vapid, and any one who desires a fairly written pamphlet on the affairs of the United States for the current year will generally find it in the President's Message. Mr. Buchanan, however, is a man above the usual run of Ameri can Presidents; he is the first eminent politician who has, for a quarter of a century, been raised to the highest office in the State. Moreover, the transactions in which the United States are engaged tend to bring the country more and more within the European system, in spite of the cautions enun ciated bv the founder of the republic. Whether "entangling alliances" and interference in the quarrels of Princes will ever be the curse of the Western ropuhlio we cannot prophecy, but there seems ample evidence that the isolation which was possible to a small and thinlv-populated State is being abandoned by the ambitious and self-reliant Power. The consequence is that the relations of the United States with ourselves and with more than one of their neighbors are at times sufficient ly critical to demand our attention, and when a statesman of eminence, and understood to have a will of his own, is at the bead of affairs, the Mes age becomes a most important political manifesto. ******** * To the purchase of Cuba the. President shortly alludes: Whether Cuba will pass into the bands of the Americans in our time we cannot say; but, if one event more than another is likely to hasten the change of possession, it is such a crusade as that in which Spain is note indulging. To keep fifty thou sand men month after month in an enemy's coun try costs money, as we know to our own cost; and, though Spain is now prosperous enough, yet the time may come when the dollars of President Buchanan will be a sore temptation to the O'Don nell Ministry. To our thinking, the glory of beat ing a few African barbarians, and even the profit of occupying a fortress or two on the coast, will be dearly purchased with the revenues of the richest and most patient of colonies. [From the London Star (organ of tlie abolitionists), Jan. 11.] The Message of the President of the United States, which we print to-day, is by no means a document equal in importance to many which of late years have issued from the same quarter. Not that the topics which are handled are deficient in interest. On the contrary, the condition of parties and of domestic politics in the United States is at the present time probably more critical than any thing that has occurred there since the foundation of the Union. A profound feeling that some great change is impending is to be traced in the attitude of both the North and South. The outbreak at Harper's Ferry, followed, as we learn by a tele graphic despatch, by a negro insurrection in the State of Missouri, are significant facts as bearing upon the rising influence of Ihc abolitionist ideas.— The great Democratic party, broken up and disor ganized, chiefly by the iniquities of the Dred Scott decision and the border ruffianism perpetrated in Kansas, seems to have irrecoverably lost its pre dominant powerin Congress; and tlieSouth, alarmed into a panic fear at the occurrences alluded to, and at the prospect of a Republican Chief Magistrate beiDg elected this year, is abandoning itself, in the persons of its members, in the still unorganized House of Representatives, to the wildest excesses of language, and to threats of a separation from the Northern States and the erection of an independent Southern slave Union. But all this was patent be fore Mr. Buchanan sent this his last message from the White Honse, nor will his exposition of the doctrines of the Constitution on the question of slavery, nor the assurances of his hope that the Harper's Ferry affair will iuvite parties to unite to avert the danger that otherwise menaces the Union, do much to allay the elements of discord and dis union which that unnatural and obnoxious institu tion of slavery has called into action. * Happily only an inconsiderable portion of the Message is devoted to the relations between Eng land and the United States. Closely united in inte rest by the bonds of commerce, yearly growing more numerous aDd closer, these two nations can never have any differences so serious as to lead to a rupture. At present there is scarcely a cloud. The President informs us that the differences ari sing out of the diverse interpretations of the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty are virtually at an end, and only await formal settlement until certain unforeseen arrangements shall have been come to between the British government and the republic of Honduras and Nicaragua. That is to say, that the Cabinets of Washington and St. James' are agreed upon the principle of the settlement, which in this case is everything. As to the whilom threatening aspect of tlie question respecting the island of San Juan, the United States government, acting by the dis creet agency of the veteran General Scott, has re moved all cause of irritation and danger by the superseding of the too ardent Harney, and the re establishment of a joint occupation of the disputed island, until friendly negotiation shall have de termined to which nation it belongs. In adopting this honorable and upright course, Mr. Buchanan has vindicated his own reputation as a statesman, and satisfied his conscience as an honest man—at the same time disappointing any unscrupulous and reckless faction in the Union, which might think that by embroiling their country with England, they could bring the executive power and patron age within their own grasp. [From the London Chronicle, Jan. 10 ] As far as we can judge from the summary for warded to us, this second Message of President Bu chanan is on the whole satisfactory, and very moderate in tone. The recent lamentable outbreak at Harper's Ferry is the first point touched on.— The President insists on his determination to sup press slavery "by all lawful means at his com mand." 01 course this only refers to the importa tion of slaves from Africa. Anything reflecting on the maintenance of the "domestic institution" is not to be expected in a President of the United States. ' Poor Brown has met the fate which his frantic outrage had deserved. It is true we can not help pitying him, but it must be admitted that his attempt to excite a civil wartif the most horri ble kind —that of the blacks against the whites— was something more than misplaced enthusiasm or an error in judgment. The insane audacity of a handful of men, in raising the standard of abolition ism in that hotbed of slavery in the South, is much to be deplored, as tending still further to widen that breach between the two sections of the Union which threatened to rend the republic in twain.— It is not by open rebellion against the government of bis country that any man can hope to advance the cause of emancipation in America. We are rejoiced to think that there is at present no prospect of a rupture between America and Great Britain. The causes of disagreement have been either amicably settled or postponed with a fair prospect of mutual accommodation at no distant pe riod. The Central American treaty is delayed on account of certain conventions between Great Bri tain on one side, and Honduras and Nicaragua on the other, not having been ratified as yet. The San Juan question i in abeyance, and awaits the final verdict of the Boundary Commission. We quote the paragraph on Mexico as reported in the summary : I recommend to Congress to pass a law authorizing the President, under such re striction as they may deem necessary, to employ military force against Mexico for the purpose of obtaining indemnity for the past, and security for the future. ; Tnis announcement is somewhat ominous. We trust that no war of wanton aggression and spolia tion is contemplated by President Buchanan. But it cannot be denied that outrages of the most law less kind have recently been perpetrated on Amer ican subjects in Mexico. It is due to the honor of the country that such crimes should be visited at once with the fullest and most signal retribution.— And, whatever may come to Mexico, it is cer tain that no government, even a foreign one, could be worse than the savage anarchy which now pre vails in that country, and which has made it ap pear more like a den of wild beasts than the abode of men who claim to he in some sort civilized.
