BSs~ We do wish that the compensation of Superior
Court Judges sufficient to warrant those who accept
that position in retaining it. There is nothing more
calculated to lower the prestige of the judicial position,
than the too common occurrence OF gentlemen using 1t
simply stepping sone-remaining in office just long
enough to acquire the title of Judge and then leaving it.
We do not know that any is to be blamed for quit
ting position that duty to his family orbids his retain
ing but it does seem to US that all who 90 upon the
bench, are aware of all this before they do 60 and if
not prepared to abide the bargain would, upon the
whole, do better not to make at ALL If not prepared
to stay on the bench it might perhaps be better to
stay off, There may be circumstances in particular
cases going to explain and this acceptance and
retiring from the bench The retiracy may not have
been contemplated at the time of the assumption of
Office 1t may have been brought about by unforeseen
events by failing health other causes, but still it
hardly be denied that the number of exJudges in good
health and practice, is too large to permit this charita

xists.
We see a notice in a contemporary that Judge Shop
ard has notified Governor Ellis of his intention to re-
sign at the close of the present circuit We rather
think that Judge Shepards health is not robust as
his friends could DESIRE and that this has good deal
do with his resignation He is among the best Judges
we have had and shall regret much to lose him
from the bench But in TRUTH the labor is severe and
exacting, and the compensation wholly inadequate No
doubt several who have gone the bench, thinking
they knew all about it, have found it worse than they
had supposed and have thus been led to an early rera
cy, contrary to their original intention.
We want another circuit, and better rate of COM
pensaton We do not think it good policy to be put
ting gentlemen on the bench, who find when there that
they cannot afford to stay. In England judge
turns to the bar. His forensic closes as soon
his judicial commences, and rightly we think. We do
not favor extravaganza, but think it bad economy

lower rate than the class of services will command

peal Delegates were also appointed to the Charleston
Convention. The New York Herald undertakes to
classify the preferences of the delegates appointed
viz &c for Dickinson q for Douglas; for exGov.
Seymour for ex-Secretary Guthrie; for Secretary
Cobb; l for Postmaster General Holt 2 for Mr..
Buchanan, and l for ex-Speaker Orr. The New York
Day Book says: L" We imagine the classification is all
guess work. Indeed we know of one or two put down
for Mr.. Douglas who are not Douglas men. The worst
feature about selecting delegates thus early it strikes u.s.
is the opportunity for bargaining, which it leaves
chance for
We agree with the Day Book, and although we are
fully aware that the elements in North Carolina are
different from what they are in New York, we must be
aware that politicians in either place are but men with
human rates and that the prayer not to be led into
temptation is one that fits the circumstances OF the best
of US. We are opposed to any premature meeting of
the State Convention of North Carolina.
