COURT.
There IS no possibility of the denomination OF Judges
Gross and Joachimsen An immense amount Of business
Is transacted in the Marine Court It's jurisdiction
has been greatly increased, and necessarily men OF
first class character and ability should occupy the
bench The entire process Of tho Court by an act OF
the last Legislature have been handed over to the Sher
III instead Of being under the control OF the CITY Mar
shall as formerly These necessary reforms make
the Marine Court Of the most important IN the city
far the interests OF the business community are
concerned The latest understanding IN regard 10 this
matter Is that Mr. James II Snnitt talented young
lawyer and friend OF Governor Itlden's VIII receive
the Tammany nomination for one OF The iadgeshps.
There is also probability thar Mr. John H. Harnet Or
Cv Justice Kane may be taken up for tho other place,
Mr. John T. o'Neil is also strong candidate.
THE NEW CITY JUDGEsHp
In view or the large increase of business in the Court
Of General Sessions a bill passed by the last Legis-
lature creating additional CITY Judge Efforts were
first made 20 increase the number OF romeo Justlees
and then the creation OF Central Criminal court was
suggested But the two latter propositions failed TO re-
ceve the sanction OF the Legislature and compromise
Xyag eff ag
OF this increase In Judicial offices was quite APP
parent ana District Attorney Phelps sent a communi-
cation TO Legislature strongly urging the passage Of
the bill The candidates mentioned are ex-City Judge
Cunning $ Bedford, Agernon 5. Sullivan Judge Spen-
Ger and Mr.. John y, Townsend.
THE ATTORNEY
lively fight is likely 70 cnsue over the election
Of democratic candidate for this ONCE. 1t
is probably in political sense, the most important
and influential in the county. Hence the anxiety
Of each party TO capture II for their especial
benefit Those in authority assert that the Tammany
nomination now lies between Mr. Peter 3, Olney and
Mr. Frederick Smythe The latter is well known
lawyer Of this city and partner q Mr.
OF the Seventeenth district MI. smythe has
been given the Craftsmanship Of the General Com
mlttee 50 as to pave the way his nomination IL was
originally intended that the District Auorneyshig
should be gwen TO Mr. William a Beach, whose great
abilities and eloquence would have 50 uly nttcd nm
for the place; but II IS SAID the gentleman refused 70
He IS probably right not 70 sully MS legal lame
in the pool OF politics
The republicans and anti Tammany party propose TO
unite their forces upon Mr. benjamin u Phelps, the
present incumbent. II this threatened coalition =
entered into il may result IN close race between
Phelps and the Tammany nominee. Besides the vast
machinery Of his office which the former now possesses
to aid him the he Is favored by following
or hosts Of personal friends of al parties whom nc
las become endearcd since his election 70 the District
Attorneyship three years ago AT that time he was
chosen by a small majority over Charles
the Supreme Court But the political atmosphere
Of those days different from that Of the present
period The Ring robberies aroused the people IN their
futyh nd hpV rejected
no matter how pure, who smeed of Tammany procliv-
ties The voters have expressed Willingness 70 give
the old shp-steered reCklessy upon the breakers
of corruption by Tweed Co-another chance. Let
us hope that they may be deceived, as they have
often been before. The criminal classes have long
ruled in New York Crime has increased Of late 70 an
alarming extent The District Attorney office can do
much put down tnis rising volume 81 violence ana
robbery. The people, therefore, VIII nave y III Their
power on the % Of November next 70 determine
whether this great lever for evil OF good VII pc lodged ~
the hands OF Mr.. Benjamin X. Phelps, Mr Frederick
Smythe or Mr.. Peter Il. 0!ney.
