AT length a much needed reform has
been undertaken by the judges of New
Y ork with respect to the admission of
candidates to the bar. At a recent con-
yention at Albany resolutions were adopt
ed requesting the Legislature to so amend
existing laws that attendance upon a
law-school shall only be counted as SO
much time to be credited upon the time
of study which the Court of Appeals
prescribe for other students, and that
graduates Of law-schools shall be examin-
ed IN the same manner as other appli-
cants. In several states, the Lecisla-
ture have provided for the admission of
graduates Of w-schools to the bar with
out examination Such schools of course
throw upon the community a host of
young lawyers unfit to assume the high
responsibilities of the profession. A
rigid public examination should certain
ly be required in all cases.

by all people who have learned that
slavery is a crime, and human liberty a
birthright of nature. He was born at
Carhen, County Kerey, and educated

should in all cases be representative
men, not selected candidates as will in
sure that these sentiments will be put in
to pratice. The party has no system of
caucus drill, nor regency manipulation.
1t represents simply an honest impulse
