Have we ANY Officers?

The new Constitution, article VI, Sec
ton Is, provides:
s'Judges and all other officers, elected or
appointed, shall continue to discharge the
duties of their Offices, after their terms of
service have expired, until their successors
haye4ualifed."
The schedule adopted by the Convention
which framed the Constitution also pro-
vides tas follows -
"That no Inconvenience may arise from
the changes in the Constitution of this
State, and in order to carry out the same
into complete operation, it is hereby de-
clared that
"sEoT1oN /. The common law and the,
statute laws now in force not repugnanf ID.
the Constitution shall remain in force until
they expire by their own Limitation, or are
altered or repealed by the Legislature.

INSPECTIONS,

The Journal of Commerce of New York,
one of the most intelligent journals in the
Union, gives its opinion decidedly against
compulsory inspections. The declaration
of this opinion is elected by an interroga-
tory from correspondent relating espe-
cially to tobacco. 1t draws distinction
between the products the supply of which
is q subject of competition, and those in
which there is o monopoly, and which are
supplied by contract. For instance, if one
company only was allowed to sell milk in
New York its milk should be subjected to
sharp censorship; SO, with the gas of COM
pany having the exclusive legal right to
supply community, the corporators should
be compelled to give their customers de-
cent light. But, says the Journal, "we
"would have perfect freedom for all do
" mestic products, and no official restraint
"except where the law or the nature of the
lease has prevented the healthy competition
"hat furnishes the best protection to the
&" consumer" Exactly. This is the true
ground. The Journal says, moreover, that
the old law controlling the inspection Of
-four in New York had serious evils. "The
!" inspectors made good thing of it. They
"could give any brand to the -four they
"chose and through prejudice or actual
bribery they committed great injustice.
Gone man could have -four branded as SUI
"perfne which was scarcely merchant
cable, while another had his Offering re-
elected, although of much better quality"
The Journal adds: Its abolition resulted
1" in none of the evils predicted, and the
"reform was happy day for the trade"
This is the very highest authority. What
New York decides to be useless and in
| furious in the business of commerce may
be set down as, indeed, fit to be abolished.
Competition is the best safeguard against
imposition, and trade should not be cum
bered with regulations rendered by this
means entirely valuelcss. AS Virginia
means now in earnest to 60 ahead, we hope
she will cut loose from old obstacles and do
everything to stimulate commerce in its
freest and most liberal spirit. It is for
tunate that there are now no old incumbents
filing places that are not needed. This
facilitates the process Of their abolition.
The merchants in all the principal towns
should take measures for canvassing this
subject fully with the Legislature now soon
to assemble.

Life In nnessee-under the Test-O Oath.
We have "an anecdote" which we de-
sire to tell. 1t is story told by Bob O.,
that best of good fellows, and now repeated
with dramatic excellence by F. r. Weare
not skilled as these men are, but will tell it
in the best way we can. The imaginative
reader may adorn it, or, as the oookery-book
says, season to suit"
One day not long since lone horseman,
on lank steed, was riding along forest
road in East Tennessee, when suddenly
leaped from the wood six men crying out
"halt!" Amazed and fearful, the rider,
arrayed in submissiveness, refined up, cry
ing out "Idone halted, gentlemen" Hold
ing the steed by the bride, the leader in
terrogated him as to where he lived-where
was he going-what for, &c. He replied
that he lived fifteen miles from Morris
town-was going after medicine for his
daughter, who was mighty sick-and while
he "was in Morristown would buy little
coffee, sugar, and molasses." That was
all, and he begged to be permitted to pro-
coed.
10 this the leader replied, "Not so fast.
