to the other more wealthy, more popu.
lous and more enterprising couuties to

tanned in the thirty seventh section OF
the bill, and which is as follows:
1.-THE Legislature shall have the
power, upon the application Of any
county, to reform, alter or abolish the
County Court established by this Con-
stitution and in lieu thereof, with the
assent Of a majority Of the voters OF said
county, to create another court or other
tribunals, as well for judicial as for
police and fiscal purposes; but with the
same powers, jurisdiction and source Of
compensation as are herein conferred
upon the County Court; provided the
courts so created shall in their pro,
visions be made to conform to the policy
Of the State as prescribed in this Con.
stitution."

two thousand dollars year. At the
top OF the system is the Supreme Court
OF Appeals. consisting of four Judges
elected for the term of four years aud
receiving salary Of twenty-five hun
dred dollars q year. In other respects
the Court is constituted as now.
The election OF four Judges OF the
Supreme Court instead Of three is prob
ably required by the amount OF bust.
A4es that comes before this tribunal,
and the twenty-five hundred dollars
proposed as the salary ofthese Judges
is below rather than above the mark.
The salary ought to be such as to
afford just compensation for the very
best legal talent in the State. We be-
lieve too that the two thousand dollars
proposed rs the salary of the circuit
judges is too low. 1t certainly is
in the First District, and as
each OF the other Districts
has been considerably enlarged and the
amount Of business thrown upon the
court correspondingly increased, it will
probably prove too small a compensa-
ton in each. A lawyer fit to preside as
Judge OF the Circuit Court can usually
realize from private practice and with
less labor than the judicial position
would involve, greater annual income
than two thousand dollars. II the law
yer best qualified for the place accepts
a judgeship he does so at q sacrifice OF
his private and personal interests.
The County Court provided for may,
and probably will, answer pretty well
in a majority of the counties in the
State. though we are inclined to think
il will be difficult to find president
and two associate justices in some OF
the counties whose decisions will be
likely TO evince a very profound kpowl-
edge OF the law But Ohio county and
perhaps others will probably avail
themselves Of the liberty afforded for
the creation Of some other tribunal, in
termediate between the justices and the
Circuit Court, that may be better
aSapted to their local wants.

The Radical press raised quite howl
last spring about the law providing for
the settlement of the accounts Of school
officers. The result Of the investiga-
ton as far as it has progressed shows
hat over Sixty Thousand dollars OF
school moneys have stuck to the hands
ofthe various officers. and it is probable
that when the investigation is compile
ted it will be found that the school
fund is One Hundred Thousand Dollars

THEJUDI"IARY SYSTEM.

We publish this morning over the
signature "Kanawha' letter contain
ing a clear and correct synopsis OF some
of the main features OF the Judiciary
system reported by the Convention COM
mittee having the matter in charge.
Since putting in type the letter refer
red to we have received copy Of the
report in question and accordingly pub
lish it in full. The letter states very
we'll the difficulties that surround the
adoption of a system that will prove
equally successful and equally satisfac-
tory IN counties that differ so widely in
territory and population as do the
several counties in this State. 1t is
almost an impossbility to provide a
plan for tho administration Of justice
and for the regulation OF local affairs
that will be equally applicable in Ohio
county with 10000 population and 100
square miles of territory, and in Web
ster comfy with a population OF 1870
scattered over nearly 5000 square miles.
The committee have therefore wisely
provided for some .fsribiHty in the de
tails OF the judiciary plan, and have
left a way open for each county tor the
organization of such local courts as are
hest adapted to its local wants.
A better understanding OF the system
may probably be obtained by viewing
it from the bottom, upwards, rather
than in the order in which it is pre-
scented in the report. Each county is
divided into not less than three nor
more than ten districts Corresponding
with the present division into town
ships) in each o; which two justices OF
the peace are chosen. The justices are
to have, we presume, nearly the same
jurisdiction as now, though the details
will be arranged by law. Appeals from
the justices will be taken before a
county Court composed OF a president
and two associate justices, and this
County Court has also original lu''s'
diction in cases OF higher grade
and greater importance than are
heard before the justices Of the
peace. The County Court has also
the management OF the local affairs
Of the county, and is for this purpose
clothed with powers that come properly
under each Of the two heads, legislative
and judicial, and this We think consti-
tutes the most Objectionable feature Of
the system. To lay the county levy all
OF the justices are summoned, and a
majority constitutes quorum. In this,
and in the regulation Of the roads and
other local concerns OF the county, they
appear as a representative body and
perform legislative functions; and the
same men act afterwards in a judicial
capacity for the enforcement Of the de-
crees they themselves have made,
Appeals are taken from the County
Court to the Circuit Court (and its at
tentiou is likely 10 be largely occupied
with business Of this kindly and the
Circuit Court has also original jurisdic'
ton in many cases. The State is divided
into eight circuits in each Of which a
judge is to be elected for the term OF
eight years and to be paid salary Of
