THE JUDICIAL ELECTION TODAY.

Al very important judicial election takes
plaoe to-day, which we trust will result auspi-
ciously. Many issuesof vast Importance are in
volyed in its judicious determination. There is
not property holder, or an expectant property
holder, who hopes to earn permanent interest
in New Orleans by the exercise of the virtues of
industry and frugality, who should not concern
himself in reference to this matter the election
Of a Judge Of the Second District Court, to fill
the vacancy created by the elevation Of Judge
Lea to the Supreme Bench.
We are going to elect Judge Of the Probate
Court, before whom and by whom all success
sions have to be tried and adiudicated. "A higher
or more important office is not within the gift
of the people of the State and there is no parish
in the State which should exercise SO much pru
dsnce and wisdom in selection as the parish of
Orleans. More business, and business of the
most delicate character, is transacted in this
Court than in any other in the parish. The
estate of the millionaire and the homestead of
the mechanic, is subject to its jurisdiction. 1t
is, BESIDES an office Of more patronage than any
in the State, and its power for good or evil is as
extensive as the amount Of business which
comes under its administration. ii
The qualifications necessary to a proper in.
feumbent Of the office are, honestys sound judg-
ment, industry and varied requirements. 1t is
absolutely necessary that he should have an
intimate knowledge of the French language
for the mass of business coming before the court
is the settlement of SUGGESTIONS, and the French
authorities are about the only ones we have
upon that subject. His industry must be- patient
and continuous; his character must be upright
and above reprosch; and his honesty beyond
suspicion No man whosao not combine these
essential requisites has any claims to that
bench Tvs IN WI
According to our well matured opinion, just
the very man the we'll being Of the parish re-
quires has been presented to the people for their
suffrages We allude,to PHILIP H1cKY NOR
GAN, Esq He is honest, capable and faithful
learned in the law, upright and just. Hecomes
up fully to the measurement required for the
position, in all its aspects and we earnestly in
woke every citizen DESTROYS Of having an honest
and capable men on the bench, to turn out and
vote for him this day. ...5--
PHILIP HIcKY MORGAN is q native of the
State of Louisiana. With the exception of a COM
paratively brief interval, he has never been be-
yond it's limits. We trust the mere mention Of
these facts willlos him no votes. Hisfatherwas,
and is, one Of the ablest jurists Of the Southern
country and it may be truthfully said of him
that he was brought up at the foot Of Gamaliel
The ablest and the best, the most learned and
profound members Of the bar Of New Orleans,
net only testify to his extraordinary ability and
requirements, but bear willing evidence as to
his unexceptionable character and peculiar fit
ness for the position. To say that such man
is unknown, is the rankest absurdity, notwith-s
standing the assertion has been boldly made by
those upon whose birthday an American sun
did not shine Why, the name he bears is a
household word in the interior, and is known
and cherished with uncommon respect and es-'
TEEN.
q Unknown says the orleanian, yet his
birth. day, in Louisiana, probably dates farther
back than the advent of that editor upon the
soil of the United States! Unknown! I'm
known!l The judges know him, the bar knows
him the people know him but the Orleanian
does not know him sd. ,
