seRe one IN the community who Of late
has taken upon himself the task to urge
upon the people, through the medi1m os the
/ press, the necessity Of an elective judi
eiary seems to have forgotten the late war
i and its result Bis articles seven years ago,
had they been written for the purpose of
/ procuring an elective judiciary, perhaps
would have availed him something But
let Us view facts squarely IN the face and see
what his proposition amounts to. Ia the
year 1896, in the county Of Shelby, the
Sheriff Of said county ordered an election,
Of the Judges Of the Lac and Criminal
Courts of Memphis An election was held,
and the ehoseneandidates ofthe CoEseryatiye
party were elected This election, It was
insisted by the people, was nothing more
than an exercise of their constitutional
right That is, the right they claimed to
havo had under the Constitution previous to
the war. Now who IS it that can read. does
not lsn0'6 that article 6.zscction 3, of the con
stitution vests in the people right to an
elective judiciary" In regard to this
there can be no controversy. But no one
will be 50 blind as to contend that after q
vacancy Is caused and the same by appoiht-
months filed BY the executive, that under
the constitution We have any remedy; that
the appointee shall be removed during the
Fenaining unezpired term For arga5asnts
soke let the case be reversed-say that the
people have a Constitutional and erszusire
right to fill these Vacancies You'd any ra-
ttonaz man suppose that they would be per-
mitted to exercise that right Would not
Brownlow and bis imps in the Legislative
walls assembled laugh to scorn such an
effort Have they. not taken more pains to
ell the judicial benches with men Of their
own political sentiments than they have In
any particular 10 violate the constitution?
Was not Judge Harrison, of Knoxville,
Tenn, recently appointed. by his exceliency
as a successor of ShaekelfoFd, ono Of the
Judges of the Supreme Court Of the State
who, we are informed, is as in famous as
Barbour Lewis Has not the Governor and
the Legislature sustained In Office for three
long years all over the State such men as
Hunter, Hurst, Leonard, and Barbour
Lewis? It is strange that article 6, sec
tion q, 2 OF the constitution should thus be
ignored But such is the case, and from
present indications it viii SO remain for
great while to come. The people are Ger
tainly Iowerless. The. government has no
idea of submitting to an elective judi
elary." What can the people do? OF
course they can do notling but render
worse their condition by having appointed
some Reeves or Hunter to manufacture and
administer their own law to the great injury
Of our people We had as we'll talk Of our
right of suffrage under the constitution as
our right to elect the Judges Of our State |
Courts To think, to talk, or write about
either, regard as a perfect waste Of time,
Our county has been greatly favored SO far
as the Judiciary is concerned, yet we are
'snot content when self interest and com
mon sense tell US that we should be
Content

Sheriff. can Open and Hold Elections
no Longer.
Important Law


From the Nashville Press and Times Of
the 9th we clip the following:
The bill pending before the Legisature
to require Commissioners of Registration
IN the various counties Of the State to open
and hold elections, and generally, in that
respect, to perform the duties which
Sherifs have heretofore discharged yester
day passed the House and became a law.
The act relieves Sberifs of all power IN
holding elections, and confers upon Com
missioners ali the powers and duties which
have hitherto attached to the former officers
In the premises
In connection with the subject Of the
new act, it occurs to us that possibly o de-
feet exists in the law which ought to be
remedied Under the old law it was pro
yided that where the Sheriff of any county
was incompetent to act BY being himself q
candidate, by death or disability of any
kind his duties in regard to elections devolved
upon the Coroner-either By enactment OF
By operation of the old laws, which make
the latter officer the substitute OF the
Sheriff In al cases Of incompetency.
Where the Sheriff Is interested in any suit
the process is such suit must be executed by
the Coroner This was SO at common law,
and it is so by our statutes.
Now, IN some counties of the State there
is, at this time, no Commissioner Of Regis
tration, and this is an emergency which
may happen at all times. in such case who
is to hold the election Net the Coroner,
certainly, for he is not authorized to do so
by the law. If he even were authorized to
do so, in many counties he might be as IN
trustworthy as Sherilfs are 1t is in this
light that we have deemed it possible the
new law is slightly defective.

Out of EmploYment

The following sensible article, from the
Macon Georgia. Journal, applies in this
section as we'll as in Georgia:
There are a good many clerks and me-
ehanics out Of employment in the city, many
Of whom have been idle for two three, four
and six months, and most Of them are ready
to accept situations at almost any price
They are willing to work for bare subsist-
ence, but they cannot get anything to do
even upon these terms, for the simple reason
that trade and the money market do not
Justify their employment
Such as are competent should seek homes
and business IN the country They aught
to apply to the proprietors Of large plantas
tions for work IN some capacity CT other. II
is far better and far more honorable to pass
through the crisis behind the plow than to
loaf around the streets and do nothing, but
accumulate small debts which cannot be
paid until scme future day Ia other in
stances they might create business-cOm-
mence some enterprise that will at least pay
expenses But here objection Is raised .
" cannot 60 into business on my own ae-
count, because ] have nc money" This
may be met by the simple and truthfai
statement that the majority Of oar largest
houses began just after the war without q
capital of five hundred dollars 81 indus
Try, energy and integrity they have not only
made money, but established 4 good name
: y bat has been done by man can be done
By man again"
There IS one sure and certain way 10 make
a fortune BE Industrious, and SO regulate
y 1ur expen iiiures that each day there vii
be some money left, however small the
amount, to lay aside.

FLowERs.-It is said that almost all
kinds of flowers sleep, during the night.
The marigold goes to bed with the sun and
rises weeping. Many plants are sensi
tive that their leaves close during the pas
sage of q cloud. The dandelion opens at
five or six in the morning, and closes at
nine in the evening. The daisy opens its
days eye to meet the early beams of the
morning sun. The crocus, tulip, and many
others close their blossoms at different
hours toward evening. The IMPLICATED
lettuce opens at eight in the morning, and
closes forever at four in the afternoon. The
night Towering cereus turns night into day;
it begins to expand its magnificent, sweet
scented blossoms in the twilight it is in
full bloom at midnight, and closes never to
open again at the dawn of day. In n clover
field not leaf opens till after sunrise. So
says a celebrated author, who has devoted
much time to the study of plants, and often
watched them in their slumbers. Those
plants which seem to be awake all night he
styles the bats and owls of the vegetable
kingdom. -

KEEP Cool The idea conveyed in the
following might be adopted to advantage
in the latitude of New Orleans The late
tremendous showers made water quite ac-
cessible in every locality:
An Englishman, living near Florence,
has devised an ingenious method of keeping
cool. His study-so it is related-is walled
and foored with zinc, and is, in fact,
large tank, filed breast high with water.
A few articles of furniture, such as a
writing table, chair or two, and a we'll
stored bookcase raised upon cast-iron
by means of screws, complete the arrange
ments. In this aquarium the owner passes
the hot hours of the day, receiving his
friends and writing his letters with the
occasional variety of dip beneath the
surface.
