THE JUDICIAL ELECTION

Upon the whole, the people Of Cook
County are to be congratulated on the re-
suit of the recent election. The system of
an elective judiciary is not unlike the pro-
verbal bramble-bush into which the COM
munity may jump and get its eyesscsatched
out or scratched IN, as the case may be. In
the election of Farwel, Booth, and Rogers,
as Circuit Judges, we have BIZ gh-tonedand
incouuptible bench, free from deuaagog-
ism and learned in the law. It is painful
to think, however, that candidate totally
unfit, in every point Of view, should hare
come within one Thousand votes of boin 2
elected to administer upon the property
and liberties of three hundred Thousand
people. The result proves TINT We are not
so corrupt and debased as some other cities
that we are still capable of maintaining
order and decency under an elective judi
ciary-and that is all. For this let us be
thankful.
:Asregards the election of Supreme Judge
We deeply regret the defeat of b1r. Hitch
cock The result was accomplished mainly
by the faction fight in the Democratic
ranks, which brought out nearly q full
Democratic vote, all of which Was cast for
MeAllister, while, there being no such in
centive in the Republican ranks, there was
less than half vote. polled. Il, in aadi-
ton to Farwen and Booth, there had been
ticket composed Of Aver and Gookins, or
Jewett and Clarkson, TO cumulate
their votes upon Mr.. Hitchcock,

Kansas and Nebraska as Stock
RRiatuE ReKiQnAx

10 ths Editor Of 7hs Chicago Tribune:
Ny attention Was called to-day to recent
letter in The TRIBUNE, headed and signed
'' Nebraska" setting forth in glowing terms
and imaginative figures the productiveness Of
.Nebraska, and its great advantages as stock
raising country.
I am always willing to concede honorable
points, but there seems to be want Of knowl-
edge or personal interest manifested here that
has chilled out my reply. It is we'll known that
the Nebraska winters are very severe on cat
tie, especially Texas; that cold weather comes
ou very early, compelling owners who winter
stock TO 1ay in large quantities Of fodder, or
sell 1t . very low figure, while in Ksnsas the
climate Is mild and genial the entire year.
Cattle winter better there than in any other
State. I am rsRident Of Kanaas, and vii a.
Ways stand by the truth in vindicsting her
rights. Abilene, Kansas, il the great stock
uoint of the West. Paraes who wish to judge
for themselves ahould visit both pisces and
chen decide. Yours truly, .KAHsA1.

TEE NEW ORDER OF THINGS III LIZ
NOIE

The new constitution has been adopted,
and from and after the sth day of August
viii be the law of the State. The opposi-
tion to the several articles and sections
submitted separately has been so purely
local, md has existed in such few places,
that ii has probably failed to defeat any
one of them. They are all part of the con
stitution, and the new order Of things in
troducoa by this complete constitution may
be briefly stated as follows:
Each Of the members of the General As
sembly hereafter elected shall swear " That
I have not, knowingly or Intentionally,
paid or contributed anything, or made
any promise in the nature of bribe, to
directly OF indirectly influence any vote at
the election ut which was chosen to fill
the said Office, and have no. accepted, nor
will accept or receive, directly OF indi-
rectly, money or other valuable thing,
from any corporation, company, OF person,
for any vote or influe ence / may give OF
withhold on any bill, resolution, OF appro-
priation, or for any other official act"
The General Assembly is to be composed
of 81 Senators and 1853 Representatives,
but at the first session under this constitu-
ton January, 1871, } for which the election
viii take place in November, 1870, the
number OF Senators will be 80, instead of
a5 as at present; and in each of
the present Senatorial districts, when q
Senator holds over, there is to be al addi-
tional Senator elected, and IN the other
districts two Senators. If the population
Of the State, under the Federal census of
1870, can be ascertained by the 23d of Sep
tenber, the Governor and Secretary Of
Shte are to apportion the Representatives
under that census, according to q prescribed
rule but if the result of that enumeration
cannot be asce1tained by that day, then
they are to apportion the State according
to the CENSUS of 1865, which will produce
1he fn11nwinf raen1t.
