ELECTIVE JUDIcIARY.-Some Of the daily jour
nails are endeavorng to show that the election Of
Judges is the best system that could be adopted.
1t is all very well at present; but let US wait little
longer before the opinion is unchapgeably formed.
We have not yet any bad effects from the pre-
sent system, nor will we, probably, see any for
some years to come. 1t is very evident, however,
that any system which sanctions the practices which
too often characterize our primary elections, will
produce objections to this mode Of appointing the
judiciary, in the long run. 10 the recent election,
the sensible portion of the people abandoned party
and supported candidates for JUICES who were
thought TO be of the greatest capacity. On tht
whole, the democrats made the best selection, and
they succeeded ia electing their candidates.

DR. RYDER AND DR. BAcoN.-In another part Of
to days HERALD will be found a report of the
Rev. DR. Ryder's lecture on Lord Bacon's philoso-
ply. We cannot agree with the reverend gentle
M ans Wholesale denunciation of Bacons system Of
philosophy by induction. That system has stood
the test ever since Baeon's time, and the older it
becomes the more it is thought Of A spirit Of
sectarani:m pervades this lecture which, we think,
is unfavorabe to fair and dispassionate review Of
Bacon's theory.

INVESTIGATION IN THE CoRoNER's OFFICE
Every one is talking of the result of the nvestga-
ton Tito the frauds which are alleged to have been
committed in the Coroners Office; but they consti-
tute only small fraction of the corruption that has
been practiced by others in connection with the
city government. If an investigation were to be
made into the doings of this present Common Coun-
Gil, mass Of corruption would be brought to light
that would astound the community. There is a
great deal that would not stand the light in the
attempt to fix upon the City an odious gas mono
poly in the Battery enlargement scheme, 10 the
granting of railroad and ferry privileges, and in
other matters. Let no person, therefore, who is
connected with the present city government, turn
up the whites of his eyes in holy horror at the de-
veopements that have been made in the Coroner's
Office.

CATHERINE HAYES AND HER CONTRACTORS
We publish, elsewhere, an article from an evening
paper, which appears to have been written at the
il stigation or under the dictation of Mr.. Ward
well, one Of the ex-managers or contractors of
Miss Hayes, and also a communication from the
friends of Mr.. Braham who likewise is involved in
the disastrous eeute which has ken place in this
city, among the musical people, since Miss Hayes
issued her declaration Of independence, or p'om1a-
cianento in music. We understand that this charm
ing ocalst is literally run down by gers and
spectators, all proposing engagement that
would beat Barnum Bunkum out Of existence.
With the exception Of Burton and Niblo, almost
every manager in town has been after her, and
many members of the musical profession have like
wise made propositions to her. Mr.. Burkh ardt,
We understand, is the one WAC is most likely to sue
coed. This is a very funny world, composed of
very funny people, creates very funny incidents,
and furnishes many funny matters of conversation.
