examine it closely enough to see whether the defect
was natural or the result of accident. 1t is most

For the Journal.
80 Refor,,,.

Either the County Courts should be abolished, or
the Legislature should provide that the Chairman in
these Courts should be lawyer enough to decide law
questions as they arise, as to administer justice.
And to do this, he should be nell paid.
AS matters now stand, it is farce to expect the
administration of Justice by magistrates who are
ignorant of the law that is to guide them in their
decision. They have never been students of the
law and do not, therefore, pretend to knowledge
Of it. ....--.... ..,..-..-
Does it not seem reasonable, that as large dis
trict, and as wealthy, and as populous and long
town in the State within its limits, should have one
judicial funconary residing therein, who knows the

shall not be required to pedde the law through the
State, but stay at home permanently, and adjudge

ngGen.- Scott is travelling out to Arkansas at the
public expense, and ostensibly on the public bust
ness but, in fact making electoneerng speeches in
favor of himself accompanied, as he is, by Stanly
of North Carolina, and Johnston of Pennsylvania
Gov Graham is writing letters to MIR Loring, the
Alabama Southern Rights Convention, and for aught
we know to the contrary, to the rest of mankind
having precisely the same end in view as General
SCOTS speech-making tour. Neither General Pierce
nor Mr. King have done any of these things, and
they are right and if the Herald of Saturday last
had looked at the thing for moment it surely
would not have asked for those letters in such large
capitals This thing of candidates for the Presiden
cy electioneering for themselves is thing much
more honored in the breach than in the observance
especially when the electioneering is done by
prominent officer in the service of the United States
and on tour undertaken at the public expense.
