THE JUDICIAI ELECTION TO-DAY.

THE JUDICIAL ELECTION TO-DAY.
An important election in fact, two important cleo
lions place to-day. In one, only aportion Of the
sunfagans Of the parish will be called upon to exer-
cse their elective franchises In the other the whole
body of citizens will be called upon to vote. The
first Is the election Of Associate Justice Of the Su-
Ipreme Court in which the voters residing above julia
street are alone entitled to participate. The second
is the election Of six District Judges for the Parish OF
Orleans, in the determination Of which, the Young
population Of the corporation and Of Agers are the
arhitrators.
In order that there may be no misapprehension, we
will state what portion of the city OF New orleans
belongs to the Second Supreme Court District, as
defined by law 1t is that portion of the city situated
above The line extending along the middle of
Julia street until it strikes the New Orleans Canal,
and thence down said Canal to the Lake. Voters
would do well to bear this fact in mind. The
parishes attached to the District Jefferson
ST. John the Baptist, st. Charles, St. James, Ascen-
sion, Assumption Lafourehe, Terrebonne West Baton
Rouge and Iberville
The candidates for this important position-for
which the term of service is ten years-are Judges
James L. Cole of the parish of Lafourche and J. n
Lea, Of the city of New Orleans. Judge Lea has
been occupant of the District Bench Of this city,
as well as the Supreme Bench, and is Familiarity
known to our people; and Judge Cole during his in
cumbency of the judgeship of the Lafourche Dis
trict has displayed qualities that prove him to be EN-
inently fitted to adorn any judicial position. more
honest man cannot be found, and better Judge we
do not need. We say this because he is compare
lively unacquainted in the city, although well known
in the interior act Of sheer justice and with
any view to disparage his distinguished competitor
who is we'll known by almost every voter in town.
The American party have put in nomination for
the six judgeshps in the city, strong, learned and
worthy men. Although the ticket full is published
elsewhere in the Crescent, we will bring it forward
here in order that there may be no mistake made by
anybody to-day The candidates are: For the First
Court Theodore G. Hunt; for the Second Court,
Philip Hickey Morgan for the Third Court, Louis
Duygnaud for the Fourth Court, John W. Price
for the Fifth Court, H. B. Eggleston for the Sixth
Court, R. X. Howell.
And here for the general benefit, we will correct
misconception under which we understand good
many voters laboring Noyote counts unless it is
cast for the candidate in connection Nth the Court
for which he is candidate By way Of illustration,
we will take the Fourth District Court, for which
John W. Price is o candidate. Suppose one-half of
his friends should vote for him for the Sixth District
Court any other court, and the other half for the
Fourth Court, for which he is a candidate-what
would be the result? Why, although he might have
received in the aggregate, large majority of votes
over his competitor still if be did not obtain ma
iorty for the Fourth Court he would not be elected
And SO with the candidates for all the other courts.
The other candidates Democratic and Independ-
ent-announced in the Crescent, 1--WE will wager
strawberries and cream that one is elected who
isn't announced in the Crescent,) will proceed to
name Col. A. p. Field, independent old line Wing,
is candidate for the First District Court Judge
Thomas H. Kennedy, Democrat, is a candidate for
election to the Third District Court. Judge NJ. M.
Reynolds, Democrat is candidate for reelection to
the Fourth District Court. Judge d. Augustn, Demo-
GRAFT is candidate for reelection to the Fifth Dis
trict Court and Messrs John P. Wilde and James
Dunlap are candidates for the Judgeship of the Sixth
District Court. For the Second Court-Judge Nor
gan's-there is no competitor.
We are inclined to the belief that the entire Ameri-
can ticket will be successful notwithstanding we
fully aware that tremendous exertons will be made
for those popular and worthy gentlemen, Judges
Reynolds and Kennedy. If the Americans don't keep
sharp look out and work hard they may find them
selves trpped up where and when they least expect
it,, And if the Democrats don't work like Troans
they will be tripped up altogether. This is independ
ent advice, and is given gratis
4 We hope the election will be quiet and orderly
/ Let there be no disturbances-no breaches of the
peace-no rows and no riotings. Let our voters re
member that the enemies of New Orleans, for the
purpose of bringing a blight upon the fair fame o.
the city, now make it point to magnify the simplest
and least important difficulty that occurs into riots Of
magnitude and govern themselves accordingly
