TN Timasofymtarday had two

o. which yea seW do Hstthiak
s3,6oOa suacent salary for our
Ciroalt Judge There is not q
lawyer competent for the position
but Who must make q pecuhiay

sion, 70 accept the position At the
salary named b
In respect to the amount Of sal
AIRY, We agree with our neighbOr
that il should not be less than
$1,000. The position is q high
and an honorable one, and al
though It may seem strange to
say 1t, yet It is true, that the
wisdom and legal ability Of the
Bench depends greatly upon the
salary annexed to the Office.
Good men, suitable and compe-
tent men cannot be had to ill that
position for an interior stipend
unless by mere good fortune, and
it will not answer to make the FILL
ing Of such positions q matter Of
chance, but there must be q just
emulation among the able mem
bers of the bar, to occupy SO digni-
fed and valuable a position. While
we write this We feel that we are
advocating the interest Of some
"Jack.leg'' lawyer, who because he
is a good Southern traitor, or aregr
ular Yankee, will have such a po-
sition-for we have no confidence
in AlcOrn's great "bloW" about
honesty, competency and sObriety.
But, nevertheless, we try to look
at the right in this matter, for the
common good hereafter, and we
do feel that this question Of sala.
ries is no unimportant one.
The next matter in which we
can agree with the Times,is in part
Of the subject Of a aLOOker On's''

RAIDS not to elect him again,
should he come back for the pur.
pose Of acquiring a residence.
AS to the cuts made at the Pilot,
we care not, st is not our funer.
al" That Ames should have the
unRushing effronteryt to come back
here for such a purpose, is
so
just like him. That the Radical
party should dare violate all sense
Of reason and justice to re-elect
him-we do not think they are
quite fools enough TO do. And il
reelected, that Congress would
then admit him would be Q com
plete qualification Of their action
in refusing him admission in the
first instance, il such action they
finally take.
If there is justice enough in
Congress to reject Ames now
(which We seriously doubt) then
certainly, there viii be enough to
reject him should he return with
added degradation upon bis head.

~ VIII result ia the introduction
q > 6ne stock Of horses, farm,
road and racing horses. No sOun-
lFy iV the world should have better
horses than this section Of the
sOath should exhibit Especially
should we have the best farm and
road stock.
We know Of no suEer and speed
Ter way to briag such stock here
than by the institutiOn Of such an
Association as we speak Of for the
purpose Of exhibiting the speed,
appearance and general good quail
tiles Of oil and any horses that
might be entered for purses to be
offered.
We are much more in favor Of
en- Association Of this character
than one for the purpose Of railing
of Q quilt or some such article at a
fair because while both embrace
the principle of betting or gamb-
ling, organized horse racing is pro.
ductiVe Of good to the public and
In the other case-Well there is no
great harm done but It isa singular
way for churches to raise money.
But to the point.
Let Us have 8 Jockey Club, Tor
whatever name Il should be called,)
organized At once, so that a meet
ing can be had by fall.
Form a joint stock company, and
sell shares At, say, twenty-five dol
lars each, emitting holders to GER
tain privileges. TwentY-h Ave share
holders can be had in two hours
time. After shares are taken to an
amount sufficient to justify, select
9 ground for q track and have Il
prepared. 1O'
First, get q charter Of incOrpora-
ton, organize by electiBg officers,
and then there win be no difficulty
In getting stockholders.
We suggest a track be made in
neighborhood Of the National Gem
eteFy II possible. We hope soon "a
have agOOd road there, and It will
DO delightful drive. Even lift cosI
more money to grade a track there,
It is best If It can be done.
Let some one move In this mat
ter ct once, and perhaps the County
Fair Committee will cooperate in
the matter and help purchase the
ground II allowed to have its use
algO.
