FIFTH WARD REPUBLICAN CLUB-Friday
evening, meeting of the Fifth Ward Repub-
lican Club was held at Ebenezer Church, cor.
ner Of 4th street east and street south, Mr.
A. r Arrison, president, in the chair, with
Mr.. A. p. Clark as secretary.
1t was nearly ten O'Clock before the meetin
was called to order, as religious assembly
had just adjourned.
Mr.. John r. Elvans was introduced, and
addressed the club on the duties Of the hour
stating that his political sentiments were his
religious principles. He did not favor a broad
announcement of those on Monday who polit.
ically differ with the members of the club,
because the Republican party would triumph
by the force Of moral suasion. He said the
issue on Monday was the immediate enfran.
chisement Of the colored race throughout the
to the polls and exercise their lnaIienable right
OF freemen- Nr. Elvans spoke of the present
municipal officers as incompetent to discharge
their great trusts. and said the school fund, if
the Corporation accorded with Congress, would
be equally divided for the support of white
and colored schools. Congress, he believed,
should the Republican party succeed on Mon
day, would vote large appropriations for the
Improvement OF Washington, and taxes would
be measurably diminished. He counseled for
bearance On election day; should any of their
opponents attempt to create q breach Of the
peace. they should not retaliate, but seek the
power OF the law Mr.. Elvans concluded by
advising all to abstain from whisky Monday,
and every other day.
A few short addresses were made by other
gentlemen, and the meeting adjourned

THE CONTENTION AND THE JUDICIARf.
The majority report of the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Constitutional Convention, con-
Cured in by all but two members OF the Com
mittee, provides for the election of all judges
of the higher courts by the people for, practi-
cally, life term. One of the Committee dis
sents, recommending n term OF twelve to four
teen years. All agree in leaving the Surro-
gates courts, and the criminal and inferior
courts of cities, to be regulated by the Leglsla-
ture This last point is one OF such import
ance, and involves so great an Improvement
upon the present Constitution, that we could
forgive many shortcomings In other respects,
if the Convention would adopt this change.
There is no worse feature in the Constitution
of 1S46l than that which puts the criminal
Judges of cities absolutely under the control
of the electors, who, as q matter OF course
in all large cities, are TO great
extent composed of dangerousl classes
Undoubtedly good judges have been occasion
ally elected under this system, but these are
the exceptions and they are rapidly growing
fewer; and even the good men are so hampered
by the influences to which they owe their cleo
ton, or at any rate by the interests which they
must conciliate in order to secure reelection,
that they dare not do all that they would or
should do. Even a corrupt judge will do better
in q criminal court, if freed from such re-
strants for we know of few if any instances
in which a judge has lost his reelection on ac-
count of his corruption, but many in which he
has lost it on account of his refusal to decide
according to the wishes of bar-room politicians.
The Committee on Cities however trans
cending their province, have undertaken to de-
stroy this most meritorious feature of the new
judicial system, by reporting section in direct
antagonism to it, requiring all judicial officers
in cities to be elected by the people for short
term. IL this recommendation should be adopted
by the Convention, together with the rest of
that Committees report, there would be nothing
in the new Constitution that would merit the
vote of any one really desiring TO restore purity
to our judicial affairs.
