THE LATE JUDICIAL ELECTIoN.

g. - T. Z Ir-f.-
Although most important election OF a
Judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals OF
this State occurred on the 18th instant, yet
the returns thus far received are so meagre,
and incomplete rs to render it doubtful who
is the Judge elect. The most profound APPS
thy invariably chaFacterizes the judicial elec-
lions under the new Constitution. We do not
remainder an instance of more than one>half
the popular vote having been polled in any
judicial district or circuit, in which there has
been an election since the adoption of the new
Constitution. Rival candidates for the Office
of Constable will frequently greatly excite the
masses, and call the lame, the halt and the
Sind to the polls, but the election Of the highs
est judicial officers in the State utterly fail to
excite the slightest interest. -
The election in the ockingham Judicial
District furnishes striking illustration of this
objectionable Indifference of the people in
matters directly touching their lives and their
property There were in that district three
candidates for the seat in the Court of Ap'
peals, made vacant by the death of Judge
Samuels, and three more learned, virtuous,
able and excellent gentlemen never presented
themselves as candidates for the Judicial, err
mine. They were also widely and popularity
Known in the section of the State in which
they were candidates, Messrs. Baldwin and
Robertson being lawyers in full practice, and
Judge Parker unpopular aud able Circuit
Judge. ~ uag#
Yet the election returns show that there
prevailed in those sections of the district
where the candidates were best known, the
profoundest apathy aud Indifference, in no in
stance more than half the vote of county be-
ing pooled, and in the majority of the counties
not one-fourth Of the voters going to the
polls. The absence, however, of all political
feeling or bias was a pleasant feature in the
late election. The voters seem, in the midst
of the political excitement peryading the State
to have agreed upon truce so far as the judi
cial election was concerned Thus we find the
sturdy Democracy of the Tenth Legion vo>
ting for Mr.. BALDWIN almost en- naaSSe, ale
though that gentleman is a Wing, whereas
had Sr. B. been candidate for Congress he
would not have been heard Of in the great
Democratic counties of Shenandoah and Rock
ingham, except as the recipient of the micros
scopic Wing vote of those counties. Although
we regret the increasing apathy of the people
with reference to the judicial elections, yet
we rejoice at the aversion of the people of
Virginia to minglipg the filthy waters of po-
litical strife with our judicial elections. The
conservatism of Virginia in this particular
stands forth in striking contrast. with that par
tisan spirit in other States, which has not
spared even the judicial ermine.

OUR COURT DAY.

Ithss bat rarely happened SO many have
been in attendance at our April Court as on
Monday last. The discussion of Messrs.
FAULKNER and BorELER was of course the
chief attraction. We furnish in another COL
umn an interesting abstract as to particulars,
vastly more accurate. we are sure, than the
garbled account as given by our neighbor.-
The Court was in session for two days, and
transacted considerable business as pertaining
to the county. Licenses were granted, as we
learn, without exception, the law being SO
rigid as to require the most scrupulous OBJ
servance on the part of all who may vend the
ardent.

PARADE.

Our streets presented quite lively appearance on
Saturday last it being the day fixed for the parade
of the Market House and Hollis Pump companies
At IL o'clock, in obedience to Capt RoBKfs COM,
mand, market House company faHtn ~. that we'll
disciplined organization took up the line of march
for the "green" at the western end of the town. at
the Run District they were then joined by the
"Holls Pump company" Sergeant E. R. HARREtt,
in command. Thus strengthened Capt. RoBEY sput
them through" for couple of hours, much to his
own qualification and the infinite delight of large
number Of boys, some of a larger growth. Capt
R. eyintes much Improvement in military tactics
since we last saw him muster his force and we have
no doubt that in a short time the Market House
Company" will be looked on with pride by our cit
liens generally. The Capt. was ably assisted by
Lieut.. STEWART.
On Monday afternoon the Jefferson Cadets, .
Capt G. 81. STEWART, had dress parade, and went
through the various evolutions with credit to them
selves and their worthy Captain. The number in
line was small but this may be accounted for when
we consider the kind of applause Mr.. Boteler re-

THE CHARGES OF CoRRUPr1on.

'Chasges Of corruption against the present
administration are constantly made BY the
small fry politicians and presses of the "oppO-
sitiou." Appropriate to these charges, we
copy the annexed from the Washington Union
which denies most emphatically aportion
at least Of the nnfounded and unjust charges:
q. The President never did, on any occas
sion since he has been III Office, say word
or do an act which was calculated or intended
to control or influence, directly or indirectly,
the giving out of any contract by the head of
any department, except 70 say that it must
and should be done according TO law and a
greeably to the bestjndgment Of the proper
officer in the way most calculated to promote
the public service. To this assertion We defy
contradiction.
2, The appointment of, DIR. Hunter as cgent
ofthe Navy Department for the purchase of
Goa, iwas Ipade-npon. the strons est recommens5
dalions, and in the way and upon the terms
which had been sanctioned by the previous
prsctce of the department. and the existing
law. The commissions allowed him were
such as were perfectly fair, as we'll, as usual
audit has not even asserted that they are too
high. But the agent employed sub>agents and.
divided the COMMISSIONS. This affected the
government in no way or another. The
service MAS performed and the proper legal
compensation was paid. ~ s,F .s2io :
8. The charge that the President had any
thing to do. with the contract of Mr.. Swift for
.liyesoak timber is absurdly and extrayagantly
false. Still more! preposteteas is the allega-
ton that; Mr.. Pitts connexion with that or
other ,contractssof Mr.. Swift wasa any wise
known to or brought about blythe President.
BE knew nothing Of that connection until long
alter it had ceased to exist. 9E
"a. The Patterson letter written by gem
tlernan of as high character and influenced was
aseertained BY the Presidents private scores
tary to copcefn subject relating to the Navy
Department, and was referred to the head of
that department, as matter of course. But
the President never expressed or intimated a
desire thatthe contract therein referred to
should be given to any particular person.
He lett the whole matter where the law
had put it, and where he had entire cons
fdence that it would be properly and justly
| attended to- Union. ~ zB

EXPECTED DISCUSSION.

Friday next, is the day upon which the
Hon. JonN LEronER is expected to address
the people of Jefferson on the questions at
issue in the pending Gubernatorial canvass
We have not learned whether Mr.. Goggin
will be present, Lut have no doubt the 'oPpo>
sition' will secure the service of some of their
big guns for the occasion. Messrs. Monta-
que and Tucker have not been heard from, as
the movements Of Mr.. Goggin in the Est are
SO uncertain as to forbid any arrangement for
over few days continuance. Messrs, Faulk-
ner, IsbelI, Hoge aud other of our efficient
champions are expected to be in attendance.
f." e shall anticipate a large and enthusiastic
outpOuring of the Democracy. Mr.. Letcher
will be in Martinsburg on Thursday: and
Winchester Saturday.
