PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IL, 1912.
The question Of who shall fill the office of Presiding
Judge of the General Sessions after is vacated by
Judge Barton beginning to occupy considerable aen
ton Joel B. Sutherland Of this city, and Arson " Par
sons preeen Secretary of State prominently
named in connection with the post To the latter gentle
there exists but the single objection if it be one
that it will be another importation Of the administrators
of justice in courts This has been of the
points of clamor against Judges Barton, Jones, &C.,
and also against several prosecutors of the pleas as
they termed with you-Deputy Attorney Generals A
former incumbent of this Office nephew of the Co
from the country, and the present Deputy is the
Governors son. These matters have excited some feel
ing among the lawyers of city, and may operate
preudically to the appointment Of Mr. Parsons to the
cant Judgeship. But should not and hope will not,
in favor Of less worthy Mr. Parsons possesses all
the requisites of talents integrity to give the public
confidence in the Cortland unless this condenceis
teained be its decisions and its acts pure they may
dissatisfaction and excitement must attend its pro-
ceedings
tits question important to ask Has the course of Mr.
Sutherland been such to inspire the public with any
particular confidence in him JudgeP Mr.. s. has
been politician and in his public speeches rather
boasts OF, than shrinks FROM the little underpots
and intrgues that marked many of his successes.
] do not mean to say that there any.
Mr.. s. while representative, but they certainly add
nothing to dignity of character and form recommend
alton for man to an Office that is daily surrounded with
individual who shall be placed upon the bench OF this
at this time should be like Cesars wife, not only
pure but above Suspicion For the quiet OF our city and
the restoration of confidence in Judciarywithout
meaning in the slightest reflect that any one OF the pre-
sent judges has meritedly lost that with
personal prejudice Mr. Sutherland trust that he
may receive the appointment Upon any other bench
than that of General Sessions might be of service
but upon that the chances Of favourable and quiet
reer are against him. Joseph Patterson, Esq. has been
elected to the office of President Of the Western Bank,
made by the deceasc Of the late Britain Cooper,
Esq.
