moss, Esq.


To the Editors of the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, April, 1870.-Taking it for
granted that the new Constitution has
been adopted, may l presume to make a
suggestion as to the candidates for Su-
preme Judges for Middle Tennessee?
Could we do better than to place upon the
bench A. L. Demoss, of Davidson county
and John w. Burton, of Rutherford?
These gentlemen both have high aspira-
tions in their profession, are of acknowl.
edged ability, and are men of integrity.
They are both young men. who would
labor assiduously, and would build up a
reputation for themselves, and would re-
feet credit upon the Judiciary of the
State They are favorably known to the
profession. In being permitted to sug
gest their names through your columns |
do not propose to disparage the CLAIMS of
others of high merit who have been
spoken of.

Education. Justice Maxey did not desire
to be a candidate for the Office, and did not
| wish to be so regarded
Justice Hinton, from the Select Commit
tee, submitted report in regard to the
matter in dispute between T. G. Nilsson
and the Sealer of Weights and Measures,
stating the law on the subject. Report re-
ceiyed and fled.
Petitions from anumber of destitute per-
sons were received and considered.
Justice Ewing stated that he would
not vote further appropriations to apph-
cants outside of the Almshouse, as that
place was intended for taking care Of such
persons.
Justice Paul took different view of the
subject, stating that it was not desirable to
send all destitute or disabled persons to the
Poorhouse. His view was that it was bet
ter in certain cases for the county to make
a small appropriation, especially to the
heads of families, and enable them to live
together and strive to get along.
Justice Maxey took different view Of
the subject from Justice Ewing's position,
but was opposed to indiscriminate appro-
priations. He thought that where the APP
plicant was not the head of family the
almshouse was the best place. But when
worthy persons who have families apply
for county aid, it should when possible be
given.
Justice Walsh stated that he had since
member of the Court made but one appli-
cation for destitute person, and never
would do so except in a case where it was
deserved. He thought it best where fami-
lies were SO unfortunate as to need public |
aid, to give what could be spared, rather |
than separate them by sending the father or
mother to the almshouse.
Justice Ewing explained his position on |
the subject, saying that he simply desired |
some rule established on the subject. lie |
would not in all cases refuse pecuniary aid, |
but felt the necessity of having some uni
form legislation on this vexatious subject. |
The discussion of the question was as |
