The Supreme IccncFa

The Abbcvillc Press and Banner agrees
with us that 4ho man best qualified for the
place should b. elected Associate Justice.
1t says:
"For our part, we consider that the
course Of the General Assembly is clear and
unmistakablc. 1t is theirs to elect to the
Associate Justiccship tho man best quail
fed for the due performance of the duties Of
that high office Let them select from he
gentlemen nominated the one most distm
~uishcd for Ills icga! aiininmcni- and cxpc-
rlcncc, in whom tic legal pro c,>iou aud the
country can place nost confidence, whose
learning AGILITY and Judicial mind single
l.im out as the best fitted to discharge the
oncrous duties of the Supreme Bench
1t is wrong to look upon the honors
of the Judiciary as rewards to be given for
valor on the field of battle, or for faithful
party service in all election campaign; and
still worse as the price of compromise or the
bribe to an enemy to bring him over. Some
minor and less important Offices there arc
which on grounds of policy might be Sc
regarded aud awarded without much conse-
quent harm But the county demands
that the judiciary be kept high above SO
impure an atmosphere. 1t asks its Repre-
srntatives to be careful Of :his one thing
to elect to the Supreme Bench that one Of
her sons who is most likely to prove an
able jurist and an upright judge II not
disappointed in this its just demand, it will
forgive tn mistake Of last session when
many of its Representatives acted agains,
their countrys wishes and their own opin
ions. 1t warns the Legislature not to be
influenced unduly. 1t tells them to let no
secret influence have weight in their coun-
ellis or caucuses. 1t calls upon them to
guard jealousy their independence and
their integrity, and to emulate tho high
| character of that British Parliament which
would not brook the exercise of secret inhu
cnco and undue interference even by the
throne"

The Family Newspaper should havo attrac-

the paper should be devoted, every week,
to religious and moral improvement, to
current secular news, 10 agriculture, com
mcrce, markets, finance, to general litcra
