A SPECTRE THAT WILL NOT DOWN.
The Late supreme Court Must Disg0rse
&5s, 900 of the Peoples Money.

Editor DemocrnLThe late Judges of the
Supreme Court drew, for several years, from
the Treasury OF this State salaries not au-
thorized by law.
The constitution of the State is the supreme
law OF the State. By article rs of the consti-
tuition, under which they held their offices, the
Chief Justice was entitled to receive salary
Of $500, and the Associate Justices salary
OF $1,000 each. These judges were sworn to
support the constitution. Regardless Of their
obligation, these judges each received from
and after February 27, 1871, an excess of sal
ary above the constitutional limit of s2500.
They attempted to Justify the robbery of
the State by an act of q corrupt and servile
Legislature which increased their salaries.
The same constitution which declared what
their salaries should be, prescribed also that
their term of office should be eight years.
1t was equally in the power OF the Legisla-
tlre to say that their term of Office should be
increased to twenty years, as to say that
their salaries should be increased by an adj
ditional amount of $25O0 or $4,000 Oh $4,000.
The act of the Legislature increasing the
salaries was manifestlv unconstitutional 1t
was the duty of.the Judges so to declare it,
and 1t is now the duty of the law officer OF
the State to compel Ludeling, Howell Howe,
Wiley, the estate of Talieferro, and Morgan
to disgorge what they have unlawfully re-
ceived. The aggregate Of money thus url-
lawfully withdrawn from the treasury is
about SIS, 900. Several of the ex-judges are
able to refund. They should be required to
do so. LAWYER.
