The Investigations now in progress in
New York into the conduct of GER
tain high judicial djgnitaries are attrac-
ting general attention in this country
and in Europe. All nations recognize
the Importance Of q pure Judiciary.
Neither life, property, or character is
safe in any country when the fountains
OF justice are liable to be corrupted. It
is most deeply to the interest of every
department in civilized life, high or
humble, that the judicial ermino should
be pure and mspottod. With pure
judges on the bench injustice is scarce

tice is no longer blind. 1t sees with
