Elective Judiciary.

The Legislature of Pennsylvania has passed an act
TO amend the Constitution, 10 give the power Id
elect Judges to the people; the step will be for
the people 10 vote its confirmation rejection This
is important step towards concentrating the orlg-
nal principles of the sovereign power of the people,
as defined in republican system OF representative
government, which is based radically election by
the popular voice. Anterior to the foundation of
government the fret step to elect delegates by
the people, TO q Convention TO form a Constitution.
Election consequently by the people is the very soul
and essence of all republican systems. Indirectly,
the Judiciary have always been elected by The people,
who elected the power that made the appointments
Why Judges were not always elected by direct
Of the people, is to be aScrbed to that awe and
for the European systems of monarchy, which
il was for long time the object Of the nursery and
school to inculcate and nfIse into the minds of
American youth. Customs and habits Of thought
survive for time the destruction of old systems,
said Hume nearly hundred years ago and every
days occurrence proves it. The vital spirit Of
archy is veneraton for the past The genius Of free
government looks to a reason for every thing. An
appointing power removed from the people is an in
consistency, without being improvement, for the
appointing power after oil, looks fraction of the
people, but not the whole people, for instructions how
TO appoint for what recommendations, especially
by party, or by the bar, but instructions! Under
the present system, partsans, and no Others are and
must be appointed to the bench. The best talent Of
the public, therefore, enters the Judiciary but
'ne seecuon mace rom 'he most popular talent OF
the party, the election being with the bar aud no! the
people. There is always less chance Of good Sc
lection from field Of choice; of it is
better elect from the whole people, than appoint
from fraction, however large. popular elective
government however, must be consistent. in order to
claim the palm of perfection. IF is said that the
most popular talent only will be elected by the people,
ask whether, under the present system. the most
popular will not be appointed With a press she'd
ding universal light into every nook, corner and Gre
vice Of Ife is hardly possible but that local
munIty will be familiar with the talents, and capable
Of approaching the merits of candidates that Local
ity. Many of the philosophers of the old world pro-
ure, some fools announce Christianity a failure,
when the fact is that popular sovereignty has not
been fully put in practice, and ike Christianity is
only apparently defective, because not thoroughly put
in practice according its inherent original aud ef
fective principles.-Pa. Ledger.

+The swallow.

The Webster trial. which has been watched with
little interest in all parts of the country, has at
last terminated in finding that person guilty of the
murder of DR.. Parkman. The evidence that produce
ed this conviction, altogether crcumstaniial;
nothing positive having been produced. The chain
of circumstances seemed, however. to be irresistible
in fixing the guilt of wIfu and deliberate murder
on Webster. Had the defence given any reasonable
expla to where Webster got the money TO pay
Parkman. doubt much if the Jury would have re-
turned the verdict they have. From the tone of Lit
tle6elds testimony, we free 20 confess that il
would be with the greatest misgivings we could be-
lieve him under oath. The Jury, however, were &C.
quainted with the man, and heard his testimony oral
ly given, and were therefore, able to give it its due
weight.
The next question is, "what will be done with
Websteri Will he be hung. imprisoned for life, or
pardonedi We d. not think he will be either hung
pardoned; but will be imprisoned for life. If he
not of the upper ten of Boston society he
would be hung; il is, we doubt if Massachusetts
inexbiiy viii ever put rope round The Professor
neck. We hope it viii not. We think man
should be hung on evidence purely circumstantial;
too many innocent persons have been hung by it, to
have it continued, person who may be
guilty.
We shall doubtless know. in day or two, what
disposition will be made of the conyicled.-CiH.

The following letter received few days ago by
gentleman in this city, has been handed for publ
cation, in consequence Of the erroneous impression
prevailing as to Its contents:
WASHINGTON CITY. March 9Th. 1880.
DEAR SIR II have had great many letters from
friends in different parts of the State. in relation to
union with the Calhouniies in the ensuing elections
such letters are very Notifying to me-too much so

ces. | answered instantly and truly, that | would
sit in council with the six thousand dead who
had died of cholera in ST. Louis, than go into con-
veniion with such q gang Of scamps and that Is my
sentiment to-day. There is but principle on
which the democracy and the Calhountes can meet
in any election, and that is the one which Calhoun
said held the party together 'the cohesive bond OF
public plumber" That may be true Of him and his,
but il is not true Of and mine; and VIII prove
it during these elections, by standing clear ct all

The disUnioni>ts count upon Missouri They believe
they have the State and that belief embOldens them
