The Charleston Judseship.

The Republican members of the Leg:
islature commit fatal error, if they
suppose that only persons of wealth
and influence are deeply interested in
the character Of the persons who may
be elevated to the Bench in nthis State.
It is true that particular citizens Of
high position, who have made them
selves conspicuous by the persistency
Of their opposisionto corrupt practices,
may. be Singled out as shining marks
by any Judge who is so weak or so
willing that the cliques who elect him
can do with him as they will. And
-''ch a judge, may, at critical moments,
exert his official power in behalf Of
some man or some set of men whose
crimes arV known, and who have no
hope Of escaping punishment except
BY staving of investigation and trial.
Beyond this-the persecution Of par
ticular members Of the Opposition
and the; protection Of conspicuous
thieves in the ruling party-there is
nothing for any honest citizen to gain,
while there is everything to lose, by
the election of any as Judge who is
either. ignorant or corrupt, the slave Of
passion or the servant of party
A Judge who can be used to-day for
what seems, in party sense, a good
purpose, can be used tomorrow for a
bad purpose. What Republican who
opposes the Charleston Ring can have
a fair trial, if he be indicted by Ring
Solicitor, tried by a Ring Jury, and
sentenced by a Ring Judge? This
danger is one which confronts every
citizen. Unless the Judge be up
right and learned, no man is safe. The
peril to the humber citizen is more
imminent than to the man of wealth.
The poor man cannot employ counsel
to expose the Vaccinations of his ene-
mics; nor can he exert a back stairs
influence which, in these latter days,
is potent with the aspiring Judge.
The rich man has, at his command,
the learning and forensic ability which
only money can buy, besides the indi-
rect bribery of social influence and So
cial recognition. All tie way through,
the rich, where courts are yenal or vim
dictive, have advantages which the
poor, because they are poor, cannot
possess. The rich may escape, but
the poor cannot. For the poor, and
the majority of Republicans are poor,
it is Of the first consequence that a
Judge be high-minded and capable !;
especially in Charleston County where
party spirit has run high, and the
Radicals, who constitute the Ring,
have been defeated, at the polls, by
the Republicans who desire Honesty
and Reform.
We have no particular candidate to
urge upon the attention of the Gener-
al Assembly. We know that there is
little hope of the election Of such a
man as him who, with ermine all un-
stained, was on Saturday gathered to
his fathers. But we have the right
to ask, in the name of the influential
and rich, that theJudge to be chosen on
Friday be man of good standing, of
irreproachable antecedents, and of re-
spectacle ability.-Neoos O. Courier.

Capital Punishment.


About 1907, a poor woman, with two
children, one at the breast, stole from in
side shop door a piece of linen, worth
some seven or eight shillings. She, how
ever. had not proceeded far when she re-
pented of her. crime, and was returning to
the shop with it when she was arrested
She was tried at the Old Bailey, convicted,
and condemned to death. The jury and the
prosecutor unanimously recommended the
woman to mercy, on account of her hus-
band having been pressed as q sailor, her
starving condition at the time, and her
previous unblemishcd character. But all
in vain. The Judge refused to indorse the
application, and the woman was executed
at Tyburn, the child being taken from her
breast at the foot Of the gallows. In the
minds of a large majority of the public this
execution created great indignation, and a
bill was brought into Parliament to abolish
the punishment of death fer stealing IN a
shop TO the value of five shillings This
bill was at first thrown ont in the House of
Peers, the judges being against it. The
bill subsequently passed into a law. On
the Introduction in the House of Lords of
a bill for the abolition OF the punishment of
death for stealing ii a dwelling house to
tic value of forty shillings, the majority Of
the judges were against it. Lord Ellen
borough was particularly energetic in his
opposition, arguing, as tile law stood it
worked well, and why then should it be al
sereda One Of the peers was so strnelS
with the validity of the learned Lords ar
