Of a new and yet very disaTreeablo sensation.
Through all her history, from colonial times to
the prcscnt,she has pointed with just prdetohe
judiciary. and until lately has Dolsted that there
had never been occasion to impcacb Tor dis
honorable conduct asirgc one OF those who had
worn her crminc. But with the new wear have
come two Interruptions IN this long line OF
judicial succession. and public attention Is
riveted on the trials now going OH b".ss- i-s;is-
latve committees.

bagecrs had come from tie East u tinker ana

was transacted by bench of magistrates
selected from the most influential and highly
eiucatcd class Of landOwners-mcn whose
common sense made them almost infallible In

ruptibilty was beyond the breath Of suspicion.

country into townships and school districts,
ordaning that for each county there should he

have original jurisdiction, commensurate with
that Of the Circuit Courts. Then came
scramble to get men enough to nll all
these vacancies then a discovery OF the
general desire on the part ~ the Legislature
t. starvc the unworthy out, aud to Keep
the competent out, by small salaries; and
then the natural result. that some people were
willing to accept the on 80, and exc out tho
