If Judge Johnston we're an old fossil
or old fogy his position would be known
and read of all men. BIT he is neither

and out Of the State is completely puz
zled in giving him position upon the
political oh ess board Of the day. We
desire to state decisively that be is no
autedeluvian, no an'iqustcd geological
specimen petridsd in the history Of past
misfortunes. He is live man of fine
mental sndOwments of spOilsss integrity,
splendid ancestry and is really afflicted
with modesty. Now this combination
Of virtues would be incomplete did we
not state further that bewas always,
prior to the war, democrat Of unswcrv-
ing devotion, and favored v The secession
Of Virginia. Yet after that veteran Of
the world, X, Il. Lee, had surrendered
Judge Johnston surrendered too. That
act was in good faith, aud observing
course dictated alike by good taste aud
by brave spirit he has held himself
aloof from every movement tending to
delay or embarpass the reconstruction
of the government. To the committee
of nine and its legal sequence the Walk
err movement he gave his unqualified
support aud to day no stands

mmonwoal,h into those channels Of
greatness which were scooped for her
by the hand of generous Omnipoieuce.
Judge Johnston is one Of a new class Of
men which is destined to supercede the
political psalm-singers who have just
buried the old Virginia. Ho is about

JUDGE JoHNsT, belonged to none
of the old political rings, aud hence
there have been efforts to render uuga-
tory his election by the publication Of
many stories too silly for repetition.
AS last trump card it was averred
that he was yet obnoxious to the Four
tenth Amendment, because said amend
ment was ~ adopted prior to the action
Of Congress in his case. Even in the
the event that this statement could be
true, VIC do not see how Congress could
propose the attaching Of certain disa'
bilities which we're to be removed by
their own action only, and after giving
the relief provided fer, allow disabilities
to attach ) in other words, we affirm
that the power which could stain the
record of a class could by its own action
make special exceptions !. ard this is just
what Congress would have done had
