COUNTY JUDGE.

EDITOR ARGUs.-I clip the following from
the Chicago Tribune. of yesterday, and think
it with the simple change of name | have
made) peculiarly adapted to this county. L
shall vote for the reelection OF the present
county judge, and l hope my republican
friends will do the same.
The following is the article from the Fri
bune of yesterday:
EDITORS TRIBUNE.-Men, while living, may
by personal diligence, combined with a pru-
dent and economical management Of tnelr
affairs, avoid legal controva-sies, ana oovlate
the necessities &c a resort to tribunals of JOS
tice b.. after their final removal from this
earth the succession and distribution of what
ever worldly goods they may leave behind,
are, by our present constitution and laws, In
the first instance, subject TO the judicial ac-
ton OF the county courts.
1t is to these courts that the dying man
looks with confidence, to see that the proyi-
sions of his will are carried out that his
widow shall be protected in her legal
rights from the grssping, hungry creditor,
when his hand shall be no longer able to pro
tect her, and his voice shall be silent In death;
that his infant children shall be saved from
devouring and dishonest guardians that
they shall be educated as he directs, and
brought up in the faith of their father and
according to his dying request. Can there
be any more sacred or important trust com
mitted to the care or jurisdiction of any
earthly tribunal? The county judge knows
the circumstances and estates which often
run through number of years before final
settlement. A change In this office, and the
filling of his place by new man TO whom
all the relations would be new and strange,
might In many cases occasion great Glsad-
vantage. Under such circu III stances, and espe
cially inasmuch az Hon. Jos. b. Dsnforth,
the present county judge, has proved himself
eminetly qualified for his place, it would be
a very grave mistake 20 make a change, for
which, perhaps, those might have to suffer
the most who are the most belpless-the wi
dows and orphans. So sure We die lesv-
ing estate in this county, SO sure must it pass
through this court. TEsTAToR.
| will add to the above that. during the
administration OF the present county Judge a
large number of creditors of old estates have
realized something from their old claims,
quite Unexpectedly to them, US they hal Civ
en- up all hope of ever living to see the es.
tates closed. Not one dollars worth of
property has been lost during his administra-
ton, for want of sufficient bail, and the bust
ness of the Office has been managed with such
care and correctness as to preserve the rights
of ell. | think a change in that Office would
be q public calamity. and l trust that my re
publican friends will vote TO keep the present
incumbent in the place he fills 40 well.

Sabbath he ran home in hot haste, and with
smirk of satisfaction on his face, informed
his wife that be could repeat every word

Returning Soldiers.

Under this head, the journal of Commerce
says:
AFTER great wars there has been always
found a great increase Of crime. Such was the
case in Great Britain after the Crimean war,
and such was even the case in New York after
what now seems the trivial little Mexican war
The fault of this rests Chiefly with society
The blame is thrown indeed, on the soldiers
and on the brutal and barbarous trade Of war;
int lchen lccre large numbers of un0ccupjedme1t
ercT cast suddenly on q community tcithOW q
great increase IN the statistics of crime. If we
wish to avert this evil, which following in the
wake of gigantic war, may itself prove to be
gigantic, we must provide the remedy. That
remedy is oC0rk. Our soldiers went into the
! army industrious, and they return so but,
when they return, the means of employment to
which they were accustomed have, in a great
measure, vanished. When they became sol
diers they had high ideas Of the rights otprop-
erty-ideaS so nice that they frequently reused
the ridcule of foreigners. Three years of SER
vice have not demoralizcd them, but have low
cred and changed these ideas. They have not
| become, by any means, common thieves but
! they have been trained and taught to take what
they require namely, what they really need, to
subsist on the country, to forage from the enc
my Besides this, they have learned to hold
life chcaply. They have sent death into the
rank Of the enemy, and they hare Joand It among
their dearest friends and Comrades, and close
beside themselves so often, that the old hor-
ror has been worn away Now, if such men
are brought home to do nothing some mischief
will find its way into idle hands that might as
well be industriously employed. Pensions will
come to the disabled, but not Immediately in
fact, the Pension Bureau is nearly year behind
hand. Work is ocdnted, and ,Cort must be
found for these returned soldiers, able bodied
and disabled, or penalty must ultimately be
paid for our neglect. We waive the honorary
obligation that rests ON the country not to let
; them remain continued losers. We pass by
the injustice Ofcompelling men who have fought
in our defence to yield to men who have re
! mained in safety at home. We simply call at
tention to the economic part of the subject; t.
' the necessity of warding off an impending evil
