We have no fears of the result OF
any so-called combinations bstween
Independent Republicans of the Third
Circuit and F. ]. Moses, Jr., to elect
him Judge. There are abundant and
good gronnds upon which they should
refude to enter into any coalition with
him to serve him in his present straits.
They should, therefore, be spared the
taunt thrown out by the UMion- Herald
that they are seeking to reward "po-
litical treachery and official crime"
because, however true these charges
against him may be, the particular
specification given by the Union. Herald
is not calculated to sustain thom. The
Herald passes by all Moses chief fol-
lies and crimes to brand him for the
only act of his administration that
good and fair men can commend.
Whatever special purposes ho may
have had in view, whatever motives
may have swsyed him in the act, the
selection OF Election Commissioners
in equal numbers from the three par
ties then soliciting tue suffrages of tho
people. on the 22d October. in itself
considered was just. proper and ne
cessafy step on his part. The Herald
says it was the "greatest transfer of
public Offices from one parry to another
ever seen in politics" The office of
Election Commissioner should not be
regarded az political or conferred
As the reward OF party loyalty. No
man who would accept it in order to
subserve mere party purposes, is fit to
hold it. o Nor in making appointments is
TO it should 'tha Executive of State
prospeotively have in view, except to
hold them in just equipoise, the po-
litical or party predictions of his ap-
pointees. In that act We hold +. J.

and as it is the only one upon which

to be t1ve bales. The proposition was
warmly debated. Some OF the mem
