Tue BRooKLYs CRY CoURr AND JUDs..-We 10
eret to see the malignant spirit eyinced by Of the
Brooklyn Press, especially The lVWiap''Jurgh Times
and The Eagle, toward Judge Culver. These papers
opened their batteries that gentleman the day he
was nominated They brought all the rum and rowdy
influence in the city to bear him, and when the
suit of tho election falsed all their predictions candor
required them to desst. But the appetite seems not
yet satisfied. Several fiery articles have lately assaied
him and his Court, charging that no Is mot legally
" in Office that bis Court is not legally constituted"
that his "ects are not valid that he has juris
"dicton in tho liquor cases that "the Supervisors
"would not pay his salary"
We advise our neighbors TO lay no such catering
JUNCTION to their souls. Judge Culver, as We under
stand the case, received fair majority of all the
yotos. Not one Sane man doubts it. His antagonist
admitted II and did not contest the election. lilo
found no one on the seat-no one in his way; there
fore he had no occasion to bring his suit TO Gust any
one He took the oath Of office before Judge Of tho
Supreme Court and entered the duties accordingly.
His acts as every lawyer knows, 30 far tho pablo
and third persons are concerned, cannot be ques-
toned; nor can his title to the Office be mpeached
except by direct proceedings by quo wGrraHto.
OF al this every Brooklyn lawyer and editor Is well
aware, and yet now that the pinch ia coming these
organs Of the liquor men have set up anew this
bowling.
Judge Culver is in for six years. his acts will be
valid, and lie will not be likely to be howled out Of
the Office till some one shows, by greater number Of
votes at the last election, paramount right to the
seat.
