Judicial Election.

The resignation of Judge Linn will rem
der it necessary TO elect President Judge,
at the October election. As it was not
known that he would resign when our Coun-
ty Convention was held, no judicial confe-
rees were appointed, and their selection will
now devoIve on the County Executive Com
mittee.
1t would be most desirable to select a
Judge without regard to politics, and if our
friends and the Democrats could .gree upon
some able, impartial and upright man, it
would be better to elect him without party
nomination. As, however, we are probably
in the minority in this district, we can
scarcely expect to be consulted in the mat
ter But if the Democrats will select a
good, high minded, honorable and compe-
tent man, he will satisfy all partIes-minor-
tiles as well as majorities. All We want is
an upright and impartial Judge.

Cons Vote AGAINST White Men.

Twelve hundred Southern white men
were, on Monday, June 2 I'd, made citizens
by act of Congress. All the Cops in the
House except one, voted against removing
the disabilities of those twelve hundred
white men, In referring to this fact the
New York RastEays:
''We have been told SO often by the Dem
ocrats that this is white mans Govern
ment, that we supposed, not unnaturally,
they would joyfully vote to make 1t so but
they seem to prefer what they call negro
rule. The fact is, We suppose, that they
would disfranehise everybody but the Dem
ocrats for we notice that wherever they
can get a negro to vote the Democratic tick
ct they have nothing to say against black
votes.
The special advocates of white mans
Government, in this county, will have tC
be wide awake" or their friends in Con
greSs viii sell them ''body and hreeches'
and put them on an equality with theil
much despisc.i southern brothors'-ths

Hon. Samuel Linn.

BY reference to his letter in another col
umn it will be seen that the Hon. Samuel
Linn, President Judge of this Judicial Dis
trict, has resigned, and will return to the
bar. We regret exceedingly the necessity
for this determination on the part of Judge
Linn, for as a learned, able and upright
Judge he had few equals, and no superiors.
He has filed the position for nearly nine
years, with signal ability and impartiallty,
though called upon, by reason of the pro
tracted struggle through which our country
has passed, to deal with many new, compli-
Gated, and most important questions. He
has justly earned judicial reputation sec
ond to that Of no other Judge in the Com
monwealth. He commanded the confidence
and respect of the entire bar of the District,
and his opinions and decisions were always
cheerfully acquiesced in by the people lie
retires with the best wishes Of all our citi
zens, for the restoration of his health, anC
for his future success in whatever busines
or enterprise he may engage.

Something to Remember.

The few true soldiers who were sedueed
into the so-called Democratic Soldiers
Convention at New York must have shor'
memories, or they certainly would not have
disgraced themselves by assoeiating with
sucb company or by espousing such cause.
U,ye tbav forgotten that on the Fourth day
Of July. 1863. the Democracy held Con
vention at the Academy of Music IN New
York. under the auspices of the Young
Mems Democratic Association, which was
addressed by Seymour, who declared the
war failure and advised US to make peace
with the South en- their own terms? That
be denounced the national authorities as
despots and tyrants, declared that the arrest
of Vallandigham was the sure sign Of the
loss of all things dear to the American citi-
zen, and called upon every man to arouse
himself and oppose the Government?
Have they forgotten that while this very
Convention was in session and this disloyal
speech was making, far away at Gettysburg,
Vicksburg and Port Hudson the air was
thick with the smoke of battle and the
ground was soaked with patriotic blood
that charge after charge was making in sweat
and agOny-that firm as rocks against fend-
ish rebel assaults stood the long lines of boys
in blue dashing into bloody fragments the
horde of traitors that struck at law and or
der and the country that it was the day
of glorious death to thousands of their
brothers-of unutterablc woe to the hearts
and homes of their kindred ali over the
laud-and that in all the speech making
and resolutions of this Democratic Conven-
tion--in all the contempt they heaped upon
the Government and the cause of the coun-
try, there was not one single word of sym
pathy, or cheer, or faith. or hope, or graft
Union?
Thank Heaven that the 4th of July 1868,
which was disgraced by the speeches of men
who called themselves Democrats, was also
immortalized by the heroism of those who
defeated in the field the foe to whom these
Democrats sighed TO surrender We pity
the soldier who is found in the ranks of his
country's enemies.
