CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM-THE ELECTION OF
JUDGEs.-Several of the papers are descanting
upon the degradation of criminal justice in this
city, as evidenced by the facts which have lately
come out in the case of Cancemi and other
similar cases But none of them seem to have
touched upon the root Of the evil. They COM
plain bitterly of state of things which unhap-
PLY is notorious but their complaint is unpro-
ductive.
Now, it is easy to see that the true cause of the
decline in the sound administration of criminal
justice in this city is the deterioration in the
character Of the judiciary caused by the election
of Judges. Ever since the principle Of an cleo
tive judiciary was adopted in this State the
Judges have been declining In worth, talent
and character. Nor could 1t be otherwise. The
power of nominating the Judges who administer
justice in this metropolis has now fallen into the
hands Of the lowest, most unprincipled and
most debauched class in the communicative
ward politicians The bench is their creature
and 1t is consequently what people see.
Formerly, the power of appointing Judges
rested with the Governor. In those days, the
people of the State, rightly approaching the
Importance of the Office, generally selected a
Governor man of character and responsible.
ty; and he usually filed the seats on the bench
with accomplished and intelligent men. The
day this system was departed from the admins
tration Of justice began to decline.
The Legislature, at its last session, passed an
act calling upon the people to vote whether OF
no convention should be called to remodel the
constitution. If no other clause of the State
constitution required amendment but the one
which makes the Office of Judge elective, the
people should vote for the amendment, and tho
convention should be called, solely in order tc
relieve the people from the terrible conse
quences of that fatal clause.

THE MODERN CRUSADE AGAINST NEwsBoYs.-
Time was when the great men of the most en-
lghtened society of the world went of on cru

Sepulchre, and sold all their goods to make
good their cause. The great men of our day

boys; they not only do not sell their own goods
ror tho good Of the crusade, but VIII not let
the enemy sell theirs. 1t is a much safer though
lees glorious business than crusading was in
olden time.
One Of the obscure journals which is used by
these modern crusaders for the advancement Of
their purpose affects to deny our statement that
the names of James Harper and Richard NJ. Hoe
were not affixed by these gentlemen themselves
to the memorial against newspaper crying on
Sunday. 1t says-"No names were signed to
that paper without the assent, either uritten or
rerbdi, of the persons themselves"
The adjectives which qualify the assent
are curious; it would appear that according to
the theory here put forward verbal consent {"
would justify the signing Of one mans name by
another. A general promise TO find another
an endorsement would thus justify the forgery
Of the endorser's name. This is very new and
very striking doctrine. Not to dwell upon
tri8es, however, we beg 10 refer the crusaders

THE LATE MURDER TRIus.-The jury In the
case of Michael Cancemi, indicted for the muir
der of Policeman Anderson, have found him
guilty of that crime. This is the third trial
Csncemi has had, and we trust IL will be the
last On the first trial the jury failed to agree;
on the second he was convicted and sentenced
to death, but an appeal to higher court pro-
cured third trial, which has resulted, as we
have said, in q second conviction. He has GER
tainly been awarded larger scope and more
chances Of getting clear than most criminals
charged with capital offence. Nothing re-
mains for him now but an appeal to the Gle
mency Of Governor King, which will no doubt
be made, and, from the previous course of Mr.
King In similar cases, 1t will probably be sue
cessful.
We publish In another column q communica-
ton from one of the jurors who tried Patrick
Lally, indicted for the murder of Mr.. Slmonson,
In Brooklyn, In which case, 1t will be remem-
bered, verdict Of manslaughter In the second
degree was rendered. We have no remark to
make upon 1t, further than to say that the spirit
Of this document, coming from juror, taken
In connection with the verdict In the Cancemi
case, exhibits healthier tone of public senti-
ment with regard to trials for murder. II all
juries In such cases were animated by the same
feeling and If Governor King would only learn
wisdom from the juries, we would stand some
chance Of purifying the community from the
dangerous rowdies and bsllies who infcstit.

The FALL ELEcrIoN-TRUE AND FALSE Is
SUES Some ofthe journals opposed to the admin
istration are beginning to look ahead and make
preparations for the fall election in this State
and county, and cast about for issCes upon
which to concentrate party vote. Among the
rest, our contemporary, the Tribune, declares that
the true Issue to govern the election of State
and county officers next November is Lecomp-
ton. This is certainly the most absurd thing
We have had yet, even from that quarter
The constitution and laws of the Kingdom of
Dahomey, or the final disposition of Commits
sioner Yeh, or any such other out of the way
question, has just as much to do in controlling
the election in this city and State as the Lee
compton constitution. That instrument has
been pronounced upon by the highest tribunal
Congress; it has gone back to Kansas either
to be accepted or rejected by the people upon
whom it is intended to operate, and we have
nothing whatever to do with it. The issues
here are the proper government of our own
State and city, radical reform in the Finance
department, the election of men who will pur-
sue statesmanlke and honest course in the
administration Of public affairs, both at Albany
and in New York; these are the issues which
are to govern us, and not the concerns of the
vagabonds and border rufians of Kansas.
But we do not believe that the parties
who put forward this idea are quite 80
absurd as they would seem. They are simply
rogues, who are endeavoring to hoodwink the
people, to throw dust in their eyes, and di-
vert them from the real issue involved in
the next election. While this State and
this city are 80 miserably misgoverned;
while the taxes are annually mounting up
to an oppressive point; while our police
system is 80 vilely conducted, and fraud and
corruption are running riot in every depart
ment Of the city government, how wicked it Is
to thrust this old Lecompton stuff before us as
the issue between the people and their nominees
But the public will not be deceived. They are
suffering too deeply from the evils Of domestic
Improvement to be carried away by false is.
sues, especially by one so stupid and hollow as
country do not deem it wise or necessary to
make nominations of their own in November,
they can exercise q close supervision of the
tickets of the other parties, and make judi
cious selection therefrom; but above all they
should support no man for Office unless he be q
taxpayer-has some stake in The city-some OBJ
ject in its proper and economical government
Let the payment Of taxes be the practical test
of qualification and we shall get rid of the
crowd of hungry locusts who are fattening on
the public funds in every Office under the Cor.
poration. The true issues of the coming cleo.
ton lie nearer home than Kansas: they are to
be found at our own doors and in our own peck
cts. Let the public of all parties, and the tax
payers in particular, remember that.
