FRIDAY EvEN'G. MARCH %.
Preparing for Defeat.

The Democratic politicians Of Virginia
are panic stricken. More than six months
in advance of the next general election they
are preparing for defeat. knowing that
the people Of the state will vote them out
of Office. they have 20; to work to extend
their their terms in all instances in which
Il is'possible to give their high-handed pro-
ceedings the least color of legality. Tho
legislature is their convenient instrument,
and Governor Walker appears to be willing
to render whatever assistance he can. The
Republican minority is so small that it can
only protest, and from the proceedings OF
House of Delegates on Saturday last it
would seem that even this poor privilege
has been denied.
The Legislature is at present engaged in
an enterprise which, if persisted in, will
certainly bring trouble, the design being to
forestalI the action of its successor, which
will yery probably be Of different politi-
cal compiexion. The constitution of the
state provides that the county judges shall
be elected by the legislature, the two
houses meeting and voting in joint session. it
also provides that the legislature shall meet
on the first Wednesday in December ofeach
wear. The terms of the county judges will
expire on the 3lst of December, and the con-
stitution contcmplates the election of their
successors by the legislature then in ses-
sion. and they must be commissioned by the
governor then in office. The politicians,
however. who are unwilling to risk the
chances of a popular election, are deter,
mined that these hundred Offices, which will
become vacant during the session of the
next legislature, shall be filled by the legis-
Judges shall be commissioned by COVER
nor whose own term OF Office will expire
before the judicial term begins. We doubt
whether such a legislative absurdity has
ever before been attempted. Even the
rival houses Of kellogg and McEnery in
Louisiana would be ashamed OF such a
fraud.
In order to get rid of the constitutional
provision which requires the legislature to
meet on the first Wednesday of December
joint resolution was passed postponing
the meeting Of the next legislature till the
first day Of January, 1874. We do not
think that either Pinchback or Warmoth
would recommend the abrogation of con-
stitutional provision by joint resolution
They may not be great lawyers, but they
are too wise to suggest such provision as
that. Yet this is precisely what these vir.
ginia Solons, who claim to have inherited
at least the traditions of great states
manship, have done, The consti.
tuition has been suspended by simple
resolution, and tile election for judges is
now going ON with all haste. The Republi.
cans asked that their protest against these
proceedings might be entered on the jour
nal, and permission was granted. On thu

stand over his shoemaker with a.
