through it; and YET in two years time
Democratic Legislature turns round and
taxes us as no set of people ever were
taxed before. Some items they forgot:
TO tax people for the number of their
children, also for living and breathing
and then for dying. The Governor had
better call an extra session, and let them
finish their work, as it does not seem
right TO leave out such an important
source ofrevenue to the State. All say
the Legislators, if we did that we
should be included in the number, and
that cannot be, we are the lawmakers
and would be pretty set ofdunces to tax
ourselves when we can put it on the COM
mon people. If this Democratic party
has not run almost the length of their
rope in this State we are very much mis-
taken and think it is quite time it had.
To that party alone are we indebted fol
the heavy debt that we are now taxed
to pay. A debt contracted by them tc
prevent the government from obtaining
the means of settling "the tate onpteo,
entness" made by their Southern Broth
rem.
Clayton herald. (Clayton, Del.) 1867-1870, 1869-04-17

Under the new law reorganizing the
Judiciary system, the appointment of
ten or twelve judges of the highest class
Is devolved upon President Grant. We
note that the campaign for the places
has already begun and hasten to enter
our protest. Ordinary office hunting is
bad. enough but we insist that Il can
vass at this particular moment for any
gentleman, fora place on the Supreme
Bench, or an appolntment as one OF the
new Circuit Judges, should be held as
peremptory bar to consideration of his
name. Let us have some places left chat
are to be filled, not because the candi-
dates have hunted them down, but be-
cause the offices seek the men. Proba-
bly, one of the two Supreme Judges at
liberty, under the law, to retire on full
pay. win embrace the opportunity, and,
there being already one vacancy, we
shall thus have two places on the SUI
preme Bench to be filled, besides the
whole list of Circuit Judges. The choice
of these men determines, in considera-
BILE measure, the character of our higher
Judiciary for almost quarter of CEN
fury. Gen. Grant has no duty to per-
form that requires more careful, de-
liberate consideration-none In which he
should be more entirely delivered from
the opportunities of mere ofiice-hunters.
