TO THE VOTERS OF MONTGOMERY
AND HOUSTON COUNTIES.

/ feel called upon to say a few words
in reply to Judge Tyler's circular of
the Ord of July. As to the counts
sions paid Judges Kimble. Bentley
and King before the act of the Legis-
lature passed July 6, 1870, there is no
controversy between US, for | express
ly asserted in my first circular that it
was Illegal to receive the commission
only since the passage of that law. BY
that act the offices Of county and Grim
inal Judge Of Montgomery was made
one, and the salary of $500, was for
the services of the Judge who should
fiji that office. The act of the Legis-
lature creating the Office of county
Judge of Montgomery county original
ly was passed February, 18th, 1853,
and among other things, said act de-
fiued what the duties of said County
Judge were and of those duties one
was to act as financial agent" of the
county. This same act declares that
the compensation of said County
Judge should be five dollars per day
during the sitting of the monthly and
quarterly courts, and such additional
compensation as the quarterly court,
may appropriate. Clearly under this
law the quarterly courts could make
appropriations for the benefit of
the County Judge. Now it will be
borne in mind that the act of 1853 left
it discretionary with the quarterly
courts TO fix the compensation of the
County Judge, except as to the per
diem. but the act of 1870, declares
,ohat shall be tie salary of the County
and Criminal Judge, to wit The
same as the salary of the Circuit
Judges and Chancellors of the State
thus taking the power of fixing his
compensation from the quarterly
courts. / repeat that the quarterly
court has no power to appropriate any
thing for the benef tof the Coun-
ty and Criminal Judge. Sections 42l
and 1913 of the Code have reference to
the compensation of County Judges
only, and none whatever to that of
County and Criminal Judge.
The act which created said Office of
County and Criminal Judge declares
what shall be the compensation of the
County and Criminal Judge. But Judge
Tyler argues that this compensation is
for his services as financial agent"

TO THE VOTERS OF MONTGOMERY
ANDHOUSTON COUNTIES.

I am a candidate for the Office of
County and Criminal Judge Of Mont
gomery County, whose duty tits to hold
the Circuit Court of Houston, and in
asking your suffrage, promise, if l am
elected to give all the attention requir-
ed by law to the duties of the Office.
As Judge of the County Court I shall
advocate and recommend the mostrigid
measures of economy, the lowest rate
of taxation consistent with the credit
of the County. and a faithful collec-
ton of the taxes when assessed.
propose to correct an abuse by
which the County is annually losing
seven or eight hundred dollars. al
Jude to the practice on the part of the
County Judge of charging and receiv-
ing commission ON the Railroad Tax.
This, l say, is wholly illegal, since the
passage of the law creating TIE Office of
County and Criminal Judge. The same
act which created this Office fixed the
salary at the same as that Of the Cir
cult Judges and Chancellors all over
the State. which is twenty five hundred
dollars per annum.
Now, the Constitution of the State
provides, Art. 4, Sec. z. 1.-THE Judges
of the Supreme and Inferior Courts
shall at stated times receive compen-
sation for their services, to be aseer-
tanned by law, which shall not be in
creased or diminished during the time
for which they are elected. They shall
not be dlloioed any fees or perquisites.o %
office, nor hold any Office of trust OF
profit under this State or the United
States"
The act of the Legislature creating
the Office of County and Criminal
Judge for Montgomery County passed
July 6, 1870. Sec. Is provides, That
the salary of said Office shall be the
same as that of the Circuit Judges anG
j. Chancellors. From this it seems tC
me that the Judge of the County and
Criminal Court has no right whatever
to receive a commission on the Rail
road Tax. Entertaining this view o
the law, [ shall, if elected, not only
stop this drain upon the County in flu
ture, but shall insist that every dollar
that has thus been received shall b,
paid back to the County Some ma.
say that the Judge of the County Cour
is entitled to this commission by virtue
of his being the financial agent of TIL
County. In answer to this, | will sim
ply say, that he is financial agent b,
reason of his office, and entitled to re
ceive no more pay than for any othe
service rendered officially. If he cal
g receive the commission on the Railroa,
Tax, he can as well receive the fv
dollars per day for holding the Count
, Court-ln other words, receive the pa
of two offices.
As Judge of the Criminal Court Q
Montgomery and of the Circuit Cour
of Houston County, | shall endeavo
to mete out justice to all alike, regard

by substituting appointment, for cleo
ton, of every official that pertains to
the Judiciary. Such was clearly the
intention of the founders of our insti-
tutions, and the intention was carried
out by the original thirteen States, IN
til the absurd doctrine that all men are
created free and equal, gave birth to
specious demagogues, who succeeded,
by appeals to passion and prejudice, in
subverting that stronghold of justice
and liberty Judiciary ssundefiled
by contact with the political arena,
teeming with corrupt ambition, con-
ceited ignorance and unreasOning pre-
judice. Every man will admit that,
with the voting material of the South,
the less the voting, the better for the
well-being of all-and especially Of
the whites who have to foot the bills
of cost, made by the ballots Of blum
dering ignorance and the intentional

SOME men in the South, are jubilant
because Grant as reported to have ex
pressed some sympathy with the OPP
pressed citizens of South Carolina.
If this is the sole evidence of his re-
pentance for having aided in creating
that oppression, his sympathy is of
little worth. IF he feels what he pro-
fesses, let him prove it by removing
every carpet-bagger and scallawag from
federal positions and filling them with
honest, high toned conservatives or
Democrats. This will do more to-
wards restoring wholesome government
than any amount of sympathy, accom-
panied by the hypocritical declaration
that he is powerless to relieve the suf-
ferers.

In 1860, Beecher used to quote a
passage of Scripturelthus, He that be-
lieveth and is baptised" (aud don't own
a nigger) shall be saved" This sour
rilous perversion of the text, and the
Christian spirit that suggested it,
so demoralized the character of the
Plymouth saint, that he may derive
comfort, if not salvation, from inter
polating the passage thus: He that
believeth and is baptised" (and don't
own more than dozen mistresses)
shall be saved"
