~ Yesterday one week is our State genera
election, and never in our experience have W.
seen so little stir on the eve of an election wherea
so many offices were to be filled. There appear
to be perfect quiet on the part Of the voters
so far as we are able to judge, and for our par
we are not disposed to find the least fault will
it. This habit of extensive electioneerng, drink
ing, carousing and consequent loss of time ant
health, we always thought best let alone, ant
arc somewhat pleased to find the ball moving
on in so steady and quiet manner. There is
however, one cause of regret, and of this we
cannot refrain from speaking. 1t is that the
election of the Judiciary by the people should
be suffered to partake of a political character
las appears to be the object of some Of our CO.
temporaries). The Judiciary, of all others, We
surely think should be kept entirely clear of all
political bias or influence. Whether man be
of this or that party-of this or that sect OF
creed, should have no weight in selecting our
Judges. The question should be, is he qualified
character as to enable him to decide between
men without partially or prejudice? These
questions being answered, it is wrong, it is dan
gerous to apply the party test 1t is lowering
the dignity of the Bench to blend it with poll
teal issues. 1t is dangerous to the safety Of the
people and their rights to suffer the sway of
politics on the Bench.
Our Judiciary should be held ncorruptible,
and where party spirit, prejudice and passion is
to decide for us in selecting our Judges, remark
able indeed must be the man elected if he carry
not his party to the Bench with him. Let him
be honest and firm; let him be conscientious
and learned, and we fear not violation of his
oath of office. If the oath of office be not vio-
lated what need we fear for our liberties and
the preservation of our ghts with equality and
justice.
We believe in the honesty of man as being
yet possessed by some of the human family, and
our word for it the longer we put off the day in
which politics and the Judiciary are to be blen-
ded, the longer will this honesty continue.

have each Two forty four Founders. and
two eight and ten inch Columbiads. Fort
Pickens was blising with cannon. The

and numerous that it was impossible 10
count them from the rebel quarters. The

were being erected on the island by the
