Christian RESIGNATION,

stitutional law, the Hon. Mr.. Sells, svin''
ed degree of christian tortitude and r.
signation which was matter Of much sur
prise to all his frieads. But this quiesesus'
non-resisting disposition on his part, "
easily accounted for. 1t arose from con-
vic,ion that any democrat whose rights
were placed at the disposal Of that House.

an Inquisitorial Committee of which tho
Hon. gentleman from Mu.catins was char.

that they did not succeed in getting BIZ

The Supreme Bench

The terms of Chief Justice Villa
and Associate Judges Kinney and Green.
expired by limitation of the constitution
with the close Of the late session Of III.

gentlemen were, on the day of adjournment
respectively appointed 10 those stations bv
The Governor, in obedience 10 the will y,
the democracy Of the State, a. repre.ent.
ed in the General Assembly.
Though many may think that better s.,.c.
tons might have been made land though it /,
possible that better might have been mad.
yet we have no hesitation in saying tia,
these are good appointments land such a,
when the gentlemen now com posing tho
Supreme Bench shall come to BE- better
known in their official capacity, will eiy.
the most general salts action. In tn. hand,
OF those gentlemen may the legal rights Of
the people of Iowa repose with safety.-
We know that the tongue of federal ca.
lumny will necessarily wag; it has new.
er ceased wsgeing against our judiciary;
cur aoiest judges have not been exempt
from its slime, nor will it cease waeeine,
though Kent or Story were on the
Bench. But we have no sympathy with
those political cavaliers, of " hatsver party,
who are ever grumbling and croaking
against the existing authorities and en-:
deavorinyto destroy public confidence in
the institutions of their country.
We have no room for more particular
notice Of the gentlemen at present com.
posing our highest judicial tribunal. We
may take occasion Tor such notice a. ws
deem fit in a future number,

We have barely room to call tho attsn.

of nominating candidate for Superinten-
dent and appointing delegates to the M.
t'onal Convention for nominating caudi.
dates for President and Vice President
This latter is very important matter, and
we hope that the democracy Of the several
counties throughout the State will move
promptly in holding their primary meet.
Ings and conventions, and securing . full
representation on the 22d-ons which
will truly reflect the will Of, and give uni.
versal satisfaction to the masses Of our
party. But short time will now inter.
vene before the convention; therefore let
no time be lost. Let the county commit

instrument, In requiring Of him, "when
vacancies occur" to tissue writs of elec.
ton for filling such vacancies" clearly
contemplates that he alone must determine
when vacancy has occurred. Art. 4, Sec
ton IA. This is no forced construction
ofthe constitution. Its letter is plain and
explicit. No mist Of sephistry can be
thrown around it to obscure its meaning.
Is it to be presumed that the con stitution
intended to invest either house with a
partial power over such an important mat
ter, while it with holds the most material
and most vital power touching the came
case? Will any sane man, unless knave,
contend that legislative body can be
clothed with the power of depriving dis
trict Of its representation, by declaring a
members seat vacant, while it is destitute
of the more essential power of providing
for the filling of such vacancy? Each house
does, it is true, possess the power, in GER
tain extreme cases, Of creating vacancy;
but it is only in the mode specifically poin-
ted out in the constitution, to-wit; by er-
pulsion, with the concurrence oftwo-thirds
Of the members. Tho assumption that it
has the right Of making or declaring va
cancy in any other way, prs.supposes
that it possesses the power to do the harm,
while the power to remedy the evil which
il has produced IL with -hsl1. This would
