The Judicial Election,

Since the organization of our government,
ard the rise of parties it has been an un-
disputed axiom of men Of all parties that
the judicial bench should be as destitute OF
partizan spirit and prejudice as it is posi-
BILE for it to be. Each party after making
its nominations has almost invariably spo-
ken against the opposition candidate for
his partizan spirit. But scarcely ever has
the distinction in this particular been
greater than in the nominees for the bench
at this time. Judge Dunn, the democratic
nominee for Chief Justice. is well known
in this part of the state, and no one who
knows him will deny that he is, and ever
has been one of the most ultra pro-slavery
democrats. He opposed the war, contend
ing that the government possessed no legal
authoritative remedy in the matter, and
that the South should be permitted to 60
in peace. Judge Dunn is doubtless a law
yer of considerable ability at least he has
the credit of being such in this part of the
state, but he is so tinctured with party
prejudices, and so old and feeble, being
about seventy, that he is very unfit for
such an important position as Chief JUS
tice w s9I @
Judge Dixon, his opponent is man Of
experience and ability he has occupied
the position of Chief Justice for eight years,
having been elected by the democracy, by
the republicans, and once as an indepen-
dent candidate He has never been a
strong party man, but has ever pursued
that golden mean, which is so universally
commendable in person occupying such
position. The opposition universally
admit that Judge Dixon is an honest, ca
pable, impartial and experienced judge,
and we ask, what more is wanted? The
answer of the people is, nothing,-we are
satisfied But the answer of the copper
heads is, we want to get control of the SUI
preme bench, we are dying for the want of
power, and every little helps. The ques-
ton is, shall we make the change? Shall
we discard the tried, true and impartial
Judge for the superannuated, fossilized old
partizan experiment? We trust the peo-
pie will come out On the 7th of April and
give us their opinion. We are satisfied
what the decision will be if the people come
out and vote, but if only lightvotel is cast
we fear for the result laa1t a7'agso

Town Elections.

/ The annual town elections for this state
will be held on Tuesday the 18th day of
April. 1t is therefore necessary for the
citizens to be looking up their men to fill
the important positions Of town officers
and they are important positions, for a
great deal depends on the ability and hon
esty of the officers of town. Men should
be selected who are competent, who will
attend to their business, and who can be
found when wanted. The new assessment
law goes into effect this spring, and conse-
quently the real estate will have to be as
sessed again, therefore men should be
chosen as assessors who have education
enough to understand the law, who are
honest enough to be trusted with the pc
siton, and who have determination enough
to enforce it. As great amount of the
town business is done by the Clerk and
Chairman of the Board, it is highly neces-
sary that these Offices occupy central po-
sition, and be easy of access from the diff.
erent parts of the town. The Chairman
should be a mar Of experience, a man who
has no respect for friends or fear of enc
mics, and man who knows all the law in.
the books The Clerk should possess COM
potency and honesty, and should be con-
veniently located in the town. The Treas
urer should possess competency, and the
unbounded confidence oft people. The
Justices should be Supreme Court Judges
in miniature, and the constables should be
men without fear, and with determina-
ton to do their duty on all occasions.
1t is very necessary that all, or as many
as conveniently can, should be at the polls
at the time of opening, 9 9o'clock, as at
that time the important business of fixing
salaries and deciding on the number of as
SCISSORS necessary to be elected, and other
importan: business comes up. We hope
there viii be general turnout of the peor.

The Watertown Repu6sica,s, after speak.
ing of Judge Dunn's having voted for
Breckenridge and held that it was uncon-
stitutional to resist the attempt of the reb-
els to destroy the Union, says: q
"In addition to the above, we would
make another statement against Judge
Dunn, which seems to be overlooked in the
canvass, to this effect That the Judge vo-
ted in the constitutional convention of this
state against the clause in the suffrage ar.
ticle allowing foreigners to vote after one
years residence, and argued that five years
residence was short enough for foreigners
to become. acquainted with the workings
Of "a Democratic Government. The danger
he pictured was that they were too igno.
rant to be entrusted with any share in the
administration of our government until
qualified by time and observation; he con-
sidered five years even too short. We call
the attention of our foreign born citizens
in this vicinity to Judge Dunn's position
towards them, and ask them if they can
with any degree of consistency towards
themselves, support such a man..

position if Republican had taken such a

AT WoRK.-The frost is nearly out Of
the ground, and the farmers taking advan-
tage of the situation have been busy plow-
ing, but the cold snap of Wednesday eve.
ming has in a measure put a stop to their
work. The indications are that a very
large amount Of wheat will be sown; the
passably good crops Of last year and the
fair price received during the winter have
encouraged the farmers, and they are COM
mencing work this spring with renewed
sigor and brigh. anticipations. bafaS
From the piles of hop poles in almost
every lane and by every road side, we
should think that our farmers were going
into hop raising quite extensively. We
know Of quite q numberiof yards which are
to be started this spring.

impeachment.

On Monday the Presidents counsel filed
his answer to the articles of impeachment
1t is an ably prepared document, and has
tne recommendation of being frank. He
claims that he removed Stanton by virtue
of power vested in him by the Constitu
ton, and that Stanton being removed
there was a vacancy to which he appointed
Lorenzo Thomas, sad interim. He denies
the constitutionality of the tenure of office
law, claiming that Congress had no right
to take from him powers delegated by the
constitution. His defence against the first
charge is very long, and framed with the
combined ability of his able counsel. asa
He pronounces the second and third ar
ticles as but repetition of the first, while
the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
are said to be answered by the first. aei5a
To the charge against his conduct and
speeches while swinging round the circle
he denies the accuracy of the reports ol
the speeches attributed to him, and par.
ticularly the phrases relied upon as indica.
ting a criminal intent. The counsel have
asked thirty days in which to prepare for
trial. The court refused it,.and while the
matter of how much time should be grant
ed was pending the Court adjourned tc
Tuesday. sd ai 94a
On Tuesday the Board of Managers filed
