JUDGE LEFFINGwELL, of the Davenport
District, has resigned in order to accept the
appointment of Attorney for the Lyons
Railroad. 1t is not yet year since Judge
l.. was elected to the bench. We should not
be surprised to see the entire judiciary fol-
low his example ere long, as the salary al
lowed them is hardly sufficient to keep them
in tobacco. A generous people were never
more effectually slandered than those Of
Iowa by the meager pay which tie law af-
fords to our public functionaries. We are
not an advocate of high salaries, but we are
in favor of decent ones-such as will enable
our public servants to keep up at least
shabby gepteel appearance, if nothing more.
A judge and eonservator of the public peace
who is constantly out under arms,' and
q Governor stalking through the capital
garment protruding through his breeches
and thus publicly announcing to the bal.
ancs of mankind that His Exeellenoy sshas
a letter in The post o6fee," are spectacles any
thing but fattering to the pride OF the
freest people on earth. We sincerely hope
the people will take the matter in hand, and
patch mp this part of our pn6hc policy
