NEW YORK, August 20.
The result of the Barnard Impeachment
trial gives great satisfaction. The man has 8
few personal friends who doubtless sympathlze
with him ir his humiliation and disgrace, bul
the feelings of the community are arrayed
against him bitterly. He is very bad
man-as bad as Tweed-and his ju
dlcIal career has been simply inta
nous. He gets the severest penalty of the
law, removal from the bench, and dlequalia
cation from holding office In the State during
the rest of his life. The effect of his convc.
tlon will be to keep the other judges straight,
and eventually to purify the judiciary. 1t will
wipe away stain on our national character,
for 1t was but year ago that Barnard seemed
to be impregna5le In his position on The su-
preme Bench, and yet we have stripped him
of his honors and put the brand of ''ihlef'' on
his brow. If further consequence will be
that the absurd system Of elecLlng judges by
the popular vote is abolished, the cost oil over.
