PERFECTLY SArlsrAcToRy.-The Chi
cago Journal says that Mr.. Broderick,
one of the recently elected Senator,
from California, is a low rowdy, q ruff
fan. and the boon companion OF black
legs, ballot box suffers, &c, DC. The
Tribune accounts for all this by say
ing:
aBrodcrick has always ranked in
California as Free Soil Democrat"
And again:
"Ar. B. is originally from New York.
whore he belonged TO the Soft Shells,
Or Free Soil wing ofths Democra.

Thus, it will be seen that the Tr;1.

prove that The yosrnal was right Il %.

For The State Democrat
The Judgcship.

MEssRs. EDIroRs In the Gazette
of SATURDAY., we find communication
relative to this matter, signed by $40
ter not a member Of TIE Bar" That
paper, in referring to the document,
saws it was inserted at the request Of
an "old citizen and true Republican,
and expresses the hope that it may
place "Repuhican Lawyers more up
on their guard and tolce them. We in
fer. in future, to make political issue
upon auv office, or other mattel, at the
Will and bidding Of tn, rantiny polit.
claus who may in conrer, with the Ga
Iettr, assume to dictate.
The Gazette, rs wei as the CORES
pondcnt referred Ia, offer rs All excuse
Tor the course they adopt, their suspi-
cjons that the Bar meeting is Demo
cratic trick, and argue that because
the Border huttian organs of this
city " sustain the Bar. it is proof posi-
tive that their suspicious are well fonnd-
ed. We happen to know that these
! susp;c,ons are croundless. aud that not
one lawyer who signed that call had
any other object in view than t. pro-
tect the public and themselves, ::-alnst
having upon the Bench man = hose
qualifications, as lawyer, Vie not
sufficient to enable him to earn Il living
l'y his profession; hut who hal Just
the requisite amount Of bras npu-
dence and clicanery, to enable linn to
be of service to party as a tool, and
get as a reward, some of the crumbs of
office.
The people OF ,hi, District have not
been urging a part, nomination for
Judge,-nor has dnyLoly save the Of
ticious, intcrmed,.lng Office seekers oil
this city. The more liberal minded
and intelligent members Of the Rcpub-
lican party arc, in this instance, dis
| posed to consult the best interests of
the people first, and make party sec
ondary matter. The matter Of the Ga
zette and its confederates seem to he
quite the reverse. Themselves first,
the interest Of their party second, and
iaat, Is we'll as least, the welfare Of the
people.
1t is time that the real controversy
between the Gazette and members of
the Bar Of the District should be made
public, and if half dozen practical
tricksters Of this city 1.-TWO Of whom are
candidates for the office in question:
in unison with the Gazette, can issue
and enforce this cdict that one ofthis
clique shall be Judge, thus bidding de-
tiance to and insulting the intelligence
Of the people Of the whole District
it is time, We say, that men, without
distinction Of party, should assert their
rights. ].

II was objected Lat t.e appointment could not be
made except under the act Of Si9 and that any other
appointment would be Irregular and void
On the part of the plaintiff, it was contendtd that
the appointment might be made under the act Of
1926 = Rev Stat p ,06 secs - AID i0 with respect
to uooneytd corporations in tiis State.
BY the act of 1872 power 70 proceed &c, is vested
in the Count whenever any bank shall become insol-
vent or unable to pay its debts upon application by
any creditor or stakeholder. BY the act OF 1919,
chapter 226 the application can be made only after
ten days after refusal Of payment
1t was urged that the appointment should be under
the act of lSI9 because the receiver would then ex
offico have authority to proceed against the stock
