Extraordinary Conduct of q Judge.

We copy the following from the Greensboro Patriot,
and we do so with the sincere regret that Superior
Court Judge of North Carolina should exhibit par
tizan spirit in his Judicial position This is party
matter and we do not alude to it for the purpose Of
making party capital but for the purpose of letting
our readers see to what extent party influence Is
leading men in high position
GUILFoRp SUPERIOR CoURr-The first ses-
sion of this body under the new Constitution,
assembled in this place on Monday last, Judge
.Tourgee presiding. Up to this time the only
occurrence worthy of notice was the Judges
charge to the grand jury on Monday. In a legal
point we are unable to critic;se, as the New
York code" is so new among us that even our
best LAWYERS. and the Judge himself, acknowledge
their want of information in many particulars.
1t was perhaps the first time since the estab-
lishment of Court, that Judge ever deemed
it necessary to announce that he had been, was
then. and ever expected to be decided partizan.
Heretofore, we have been taught to look upon a
Judge as being above the ordinary masses
one whose purity of character and honesty OF
purpose kept him aoof from all the petty striles
of the populace, and did not permit him to dab
BILE in the contentious pool of politics. When
there is so much Of bitterness in campaign as
nj, the present, it is .unbecoming in one who is
SSOfu 10 JuotISO olIhC " "iit W ''J
aside the ermine, even for moment, to deliver
a bitter political address. (The judge, however,
thinks differently-as we learn he addressed a
Radical meeting in the court house Tuesday.
If this be true, how much more ccnsurablc Is 1t
to incorporate in charge to grand jury pOlltl-
cal ideas and positive ordinations against ones
political opponents?
La speaking of the prevalence Of theft the
Judge held the following remarkable and very
Objectionable language: That the unusual
amount of larceny was attributed to two causes
first the negroes, from the very nature of then
position have been taught to steal and believed il
was no robbery to appropriate their masters good:
to their use--it being merely change Of form
but not of ownership The second class o
rogues were the soldery, who from the lawlcss
ness imbibed during a civil war had learned t.
steal This was intended as slur upon thu
Confederate soldiery-which as whole receives
the praise of all fairmindcd men for their devo
ton, their patriotism, their submission to all law
--even though some ofthcsc laws are obnoxiou
to them and all other gentlemen. This was
,wanton, unprovoked and very undignifed assault
and can not be palliated, even by the fact tbs;
the Judge was probably speaking from experience
as he claims to have been for years i'll TIL

that ever robbed hcnroost or made war up0I
