We begin, says that sterling paper

dences of the old idea that State can
better afford to pay one dollar to poor
Judge than TO pay five to good one
In answer to those who advocate the
payment Of ample and generous salar-
les, the old cry is raised that thers are
plenty of men who work harder than
the Judges for less money. AS re-
cessary consequence the better portion
of the Bar are driven from the Beach,
and legislatures will elect to the judi
eiarv men who have failed, through
want ofenergy, experience or ability,
70 obtain livelihood in the practice OF
their profession. Now, as we hare got
to commence all over again, as our pre-
sent Judiciary system is to be thorough
ly reorgaaized, and judges are to be
elected for all of the various Courts es-
tablished under the new Constitution,
let US commence in the right way and
secure for tho judicial service ,oi the

Bench integrity, experience and abili-
ty, and who will reflect honor upon the

The State Auditor reports loss OF

that State, in less than nlne years
There has 3sen heavy decrease in all
the other Southern States. This in
creased mortality has resulted from
emancipation which, in casting the
blacks on their own resources, Ignorant,
destitute and improyident, cast them
forth to idleness, hunger, exposure
disease and death. MOI have the Rad
icals attended to the real and pressing
wants OF this class. To be sure, they
have given them food and clothing, but
at the same time, political orders and
societies have been instituted among
them, and with these come idllness, dis
sipation and dls;nclination to attend
to the proper duties of their new con-
dition. AS consequence, the colored
race is on the downward trace. III the
descent is rot arrested, in less than aalf
a century there will not be enough ne

result of heartless agitation for selfish,

SOUTHERN PosTMAsTERs.

The UNITED States Supreme Court
has just decided a case affecting South
eril postmasters who held office at the
commencement of the war, and the
sureties on their official bonds. The
question was whether, under the--com-
pulsory payment to the Confederete
authorities of moneys of the United
States IN their possession at the time,
the principal and sureties remained La
ble therefor. The Supreme court has
decided that the defence OF irresistible
force. etc., is not sound, because such a
consideration WAS not within the con-
Clition OF the bond. and that the defend
ants are liable for the amount due.

sFARzERs' CLUES.

tfIn several Of the counties of Virginia,
says the Richmond Wing, there are not
only county agricultural societies, but
neighborhood associations for tho pros
motion ofhusbandry in all of its branch
es. We have observed with no little
satisfaction that these organizations are
generally 10 prosperous condition.
The members attend the meeting and
enter with proper spirit int the dis
cussion of subjects pertinent to the in
terests of agriculture. This is right
We hope that the farmers throughout
the State will form county or neighbour
hood societies where none exist at pres
emit. They aze productive" of much real
benefit not only to members, but to the
Commonwealth.
