under the title of General Commission. to
finish up all cases which were on the calendar
last January, about a thousand in number. A
new court is to be elected some time next
spring, to be designated by the Legislature,
which will also probably designate town meet
ing day. The new court is composed OF seven
judges, chief justice and six associates,
modelled after the United States Supreme
Court. Judges Of the Supreme Court, there
fore, no longer sit on the Court OF Appeals in
rotation as now, and the absurdity is no longer
presented of judge in higher reviewing his
own decisions made in lower tribunal
One new feature Of the new article is that at
the first election for judges Of Appeals only
five names can go on the same ticket thus
| securing as minority at least two judges
| The Legislature is allowed to fix the salary Of
| judges commensurate with the times. Add
| tional powers are conferred for civil jurisdic-
! ton on County Courts, 30 as to relieve Supreme
| Courts in the country. The County Courts
will now assume a degree of Importance like
that of the old Courts of Common Pleas, and
such courts as we have in this city, Superior,
Marine, &c. The County Clerk, now elected,
will hereafter very properly be appointed.
| Judgments at circuits will be removed directly
into the Court of Appeals, thus avoiding the
circumlocuton Of General Terms. The more
comprehensive reconstruction Of our whole
| judicial system proposed, we daro say, will be
adopted by the people when submitted to
| laJ for
which will 60 into effect, VIC think, viii prove
to be wholesome reforms. The adoption Of
this republican article in a party view is, with
the assistance of republican votes, q great
democratic success, achieved by boiling In OPP
position to the Democratic State Convention
and the ediots Of Tammany Hall, and gained
over the combined forces Of the radicals Of st.

am not one of the admirers Of George Eliot
who regret that she ventured on the production
of n long poem. l think "rhe Spanish GYPSY

il so high in artistic rank the best OF the au-

praise, for Englishwomen have seldom done

aurora Leigh;" and l think THE Spanish

Most of our English critics fell to discussing the
question whether "The Spanish Gypsy" was to
be regarded MS poetry at all, or only as n story
put into verse; and in this futile and vexatlous
controversy the artistic value of the work itself
almost escaped analysis | own that l think

critics discovered, by the application OF such

what you call the work. ''Hhe Spanish Gypsy"
has Imagination and beauty; it has exquisite
pictures and lofty thoughts; it has melody and

it hardly worth considering what name we are to
apply to the book. Such, however, was the sort
of controversy in which all deep and true con-
sderation of the artistic value of "The Spanish
Gypsy evapOrated. l am not sorry Mrs. Lewes
published the poem; but am sorry she put her
literary name to it in the first instance. Had it
appeared anonymously it would have astonished
and delighted the world. But people compared
THE Spanish Gypsy with the authors prose
works, and were disappointed because the wo-
man who surpassed Dickens in fiction did not
likewise surpass Tennyson and Browning in
poetry Thus, and in no other sense, was "The

10 the Editors Of the EUeRiag Post
The recent outrage perpetrated upon me
which has had such full exposure and awak
ened so widely the public Indignation, will
be reconciled to my mind if it tend to pre-
vent similar conspiracies. AS the pieces Of
silver given to Judas displayed the motives
for the betrayal of the Saviour Of Mankind.
so did the marriage of my daughter the
morning after my entrayment shed all the
light needed upon that atrocity.
] may find reason for speaking more at
large upon this subject hereafter NV i'm
mediate purpose, in this card, is to tender
my thanks to my true and warm personal
friends, to the public press, and TO an indie
pendent Judiciary, as indicated through a
warm hearted, honest, bold and clear
sighted judge.
AS it is not always the good fortune Of

That appointment TO the Supreme
Bench.

Certain of the rebel-denocratc organs of Ten
nessee make much ado and spluttoration over the
appointment of George Andrews, Esq, of this city,
to the Supreme Bench of this State. To read their
utterances, one would suppose that Mr.. Andrews
had just come 10 Tennessee; that his appointment
was therefore unconstitutional that he lacked the
personal and professional qualifications for that en-
inent position that bis selection was gross, out
rageous injustice TO native Tennesaeeans; who by
this and many other like instances, had been over
looked ignored showed aside for inferior carpet
baggers If the contrary Of all this is shown and it
shall, moreover, be made to appear that tho origi-
nal attacks made upon Judge Andrews have no
other foundation than petty personal spite the ut
ter want of csndor in these vituperative assaults
win be appreciated.
We affirm, then, and we challenge denial, that
Mr.. Andrews had been in Tennessee over three
years-the required term Of the Constitution-be-
fore be was appointed; that be had proved him.
self an able lawyer, gentleman of culture and in
tegrity; !hst before the office had been rendered
him, it was offered and urged upon f1e old Tennes-
seeans, of unquestionsble loyalty and ability that
the State and Federal Offices in East Tennessee be-
sides this, sre filled by native Tennesseeans.
Now, in addition to ali this we affirm that the
motive of these assaults is personal spleen and vim
dictiveness. It is known that Judge Andrews has
sometimes welded forcbls pen in describing aud
denouncing the errors and sophistries of some who
arrayed themselves against the Republican party
and lis leaders. For this he has been pursued With
unrelenting and inscriptions bitterness, and by
epIthets which nc gentleman could wantonly apply
TO an opponent. His enemies cannot gainssy his
abilities. They dare not question his integrity
Hence the last resort left Them and which they have
not scrupled to use is to cover him with contempt
uous epithets We hardly think the case needed
this ventilation. Yet, unknown to the Judge, we
have ven!ured this showing that those living re-
mote from Knoxville may know the character of
the attacks upon Judge Andrews and his appoint
ment 20 the Supreme Bench.
