Shall the People Elect their JUDGES ;

Read some Wing evidence on this subject
judicial EtecttonS-The Jackson Southron. one of
the principal Wing papers in Mississippi thus speaks
OF the recent judicial elections in that State
There is one feature in the recent elections which
does infinite credit to the lberality intelligence and
sound sense of the people of Mississippi and that is
the signal manner in which they have rebuked the
attempts of the partisan leaders to bring party to
bear in deciding upon the relative merits of cand-
dates for Judicial honors. In the strongest Wing
district in the State, judge of the opposite party
has been trirmphantly reelected to Office, whose
duties ne has long and faithfully discharged while
IN another district the Cass incumbent has been re-
elected without oppositiOn-a compliment justly due
to the impartiality with which he has administered
law and justice without fear, favor OF affection In
the Northern judicial districts (strongly Cass,
Judges Miller and Rodgers, (Taylor men, have been
reelected by large and respectable majOrties altho
strong appeals made to the voters, oppo-
sed to them, by of the leaders of the dom
inant party, to draw the party line upon the a.
BILE and accomplished incumbents and to elect to
those Offices candidates of their own party Those
who doubt the capacity of the people to make proper
and udicious selections of judicial functionares and
who imagine partisan executive, or legislative eau
GUS would do things any better, need only look to
the able judiciary of Mississippi under the elective
system, to be efectually cured of that error"

WILMINGTON, N. c., 10th June, 1850.
At meeting of the Commissioners of Navigation
and Potage for Cape Fear River, held this day, it
was ordered
That no further permission be granted by this
Board for the extension of wharses, beyond their
present limits, on either side of the river.
This order is deemed expedient from the fact that
the water directly opposite the Town is already SO
compressed as to force much Of the current into
Brunswick or Belyidera River.
The remedy for want of water at some of the
wharves the Board believe ought to be overcome by
Drudgng Boat, to be put in operation by the wharf
owners, OF by joint Stock Company.

The treaty of peace negotiated by
Sen. Green, at the head Of the Cali

provides that If the U. S. Govern

date Of the treaty, May 25th, confirm
it, each Of the tribes shall be paid
annually, 81 900 Tor ten years. The
Indians are guaranteed the free use
of the gold mines, and a redress of
grievance; and, in return, they agree
TO carry no arms while they may be
in the settlement Of the whites, and
to surrender any Indian who may
commit a robbery, murder, or any

4 EnEll4mEMAs
The Toronto Ezaminer says Ap.
plicstion has been made to the NUM-.
cipal Council, now in Session in the
Court House here, by w. L. Macken.
Zie, for three sessions wages due him
Fas a representative Of York County
in Assembly 1881 to 1884 at los
per day, with interest. During the
llth Parliament he was elected FIVE
times and so often expelled-ihe gov
ernor and the colonial Office opposing
the expulsiOns and the Legislative
Council sanctioning :hem. Macken-
zie's offense was the expression Of
his opinions in public newspaper.
When first expelled, he addressed the
freeholders to the effect, that they
knew his sentiments and conduct in
that and the previous Parliament
he would neither retract nor apollo
gize--but that If he did not truly
represent them, their course was
open, they could elect and employ
another. II again returned he said
he would understand their votes as
an endorsement Of his public conduct
and condemnation of that of the
Legislature. The l2.h Parliament
tore the votes Of expulsion from its
journals, but the District Magistrates
refused to pay his wages because he
had not received the previous spea-
ker's warrant or their treasurer
The new assembly could not pay up
arrears Of wages as contingency
Of the session, for the Home District
had been specially assessed foI the
service, and no hill to pay the debt
would have passed the Legislative
Council as then constituted. Recent
events, however, have given the peo-
pie the power to pay such arrears
with interest, and Mackenzie would !
have applied to the Council last year,
but he had to leave Toronto TO es-
cape iIom midnight violence. The
County Freeholders made FIVE con-
tracts with successive returning Off |
GERS, under seal in one parliament,
each contract appointing Mackenzie
a public servant on stated wages
For one session he was paid-for the
other three he is the creditor Of the
Will the Reeves and De-
putty Reeves pay him, or will they
put him off TO a more convenient
opportunity. Ten shillings are but
small wages at most, and the man
who takes Is years credit at that
gives very broad hint TO future
