ATPRoACuIEG A SETTLEMENT.-- IC j.
probable that the Louisiana question viii
he soon settled in such II manner that the
Nichols government will be left in pos
session. We do not approve nor do We
condemn, the policy which has brought
about this result. We recognize the fact
that the Southern question is tie mot
difficult one with which the admuistra-
tion of President Hayes will hnye To deal,
and tha. the New Departure" which
has been inauguraed may hold out II
hope Of paciEcp;on which VA, mol offered

give the President credit for being inAu-
enccd by patriotic motives in his course,
whatever the result of that course may
be. II it brings out the better elements
OF the South, and thereby creates party
III Louisiana and other Southern States
which will avoid the errors into which
both parties seem to have fallen, it will
be we'll, and there are strong reasons for
hoping that such will be the case. One
thing is quite certain, that if the South
can control its own local government the
great burden Of its complaint will be re
moved, and if, under Democ ratic rule the
rights Of all Glasses are maintained we
viii have no cause of complaint. The
policy pursued for the last twelve years
has proven d failure so far as the pacih-
cation Of the South was concerned, and
while it would not have been saie to let
the ex-rebel element have sway under
time-server like Tiden, it may be that
conciiiatory policy sanctioned by Repub
lcan national rule will be attended with
good results. That such will be the case
we devoutly hope.

MATTERS SENATORIAL.

The discussion OK the Senatorial ques-
ton still occupies a good share of atten-
ton at the hands OF the press, and vari-
Gus opinions in regard to the merits and
dement's o. the various candidates nam
ed are expressed. Our view Of the matter
can be given in a very few words. The
election of United States Senator be-
longs to the Legislature of the State, and
until that Legislature is chosen, there is
very little that can be said. The first du-
ty of the people is to select men who are
perfectly reliable to serve them in the
Legislature. That done, the solution Of
the Senatorial question becomes very
simple. If reliable men are chosen to
represent the people at Sacramento, we
can depend upon their choice for Senator
being one who will be a credit to the
State, and we can depend further that no
improper influences will be admitted to
determine the question of the Senatorial
succession.
| The Senate was destined to be a con-
servative body, which from the mode and
manner of its selection would not be in
huenced by the excitements of the hour.
In this respect it was entirely different
from the lower house Of Congress, which
came fresh from the people every two
years. 1t is true that our Senators are
generally as extreme partisans as are
any other class of our public men, but
the principle remains the same. Nor
can it be said that there is any of the di-
rect political questions Of the day, with
the exception of the general one Of party
policy involved in the election Of United
States Senators at this present juncture.
The Senator TO be elected this year will
not take his seat until March 1879, by
which time it is TO be hoped that the
questions now before the public will be
satisfactorily disposed of.
II we look to the one thing needful-
the choice of good reliable men to the
Legislature, we can safely let the Sena-
atorial question rest in their hands The
Senator and Assemblyman from each
District are the ones to whom the people
must look for true representation in ali
things. These two officers are the ones in
whom the greatest latitude is vested
They have the charge of She interests, not
only OF their own Immediate constituency
but ~ the State as well. The duties Of
other officers are merely ministerial, thev
arr defined by law. If W have that con
fdrnce in the discretion Of Legislator
that we delegate 10 him the aw-mabinq
power, he should also he one TO whom We
could commit the trust of eecting Uni
ted States Senator, with an equal n-,ur-
ance that his choice win be one Of which
we need not be ashamed Thi, j. all that
need be said on the Senatorial question
until the political complexion Of the Leg
islature is known, when we can discuss
and determine the merits and claims OF
the different candidates.

M EXTRA SEsstoS. There now ap

and the President wishes to avoid AS long
As possible the Congressional hostility
that is sure to be manifested toward his
policy. BY December his Southern poll
cy, if unimpeded by hostile influences,
will be able to stands on its own merits or
will fall to the ground by reason of its
dement's. Should it be hnmpered Mt the
outset by hostile Congressional influences
it would he very apt to fail, whether
wise or otherwise. But the real opposi
ton TO the President is occasioned more
by his Civil Service Reform policy than
anything else, Senators not liking the
cool manner in which they have been set
aside in the matter of making appoint
ments. But thnt policy will not be di-
rectly assailed, it will be only covertly
attacked. In case there is an extra ees-
sion the Presidents Southern policy will
be strongly assailed at the most critical
period with the expectation of breaking
him down altogether. This the Presi-
dent and his friends desire to avoid by
dispensing with the proposed extra ses-
sion Of Congress .-Sdcydmcnto Bee.

THE JUDICIAL ELECTION.

So far as this county is concerned the
Judicial election thi, year will be a com
pIetc humbug. There will be nothing to
vote for but justices of the peace, and the
probabilities are that no polls will be
opened in majority of the precincts. -
The same may be said of nearly every
other county in the State
In this county the County Judge was
elected in 1915 to hold office for four
years. The District Judge was elected
ut the same time, to hold for six years.
There is no State Judicial Ticket to be
voted for this year, consequently there
will be nothing to be voted for here ex-
cept justices.
Fortyiive Of the counties elected their
judges in 1875 seventeen Of the twenty
one districts the same. This leaves but II
few judicial officers to be chosen, but the
Constitution and the law provides for the
special judicial election NIL the same.
1t was the undoubted design Of the
trainers of the Constitutional amend
ments of 1868, TO have one ofthe Supreme
Justices go out of office every two years.
1t was provided that at the first meeting
Of the five Justices they should arrange it
SO that each should have different term
Of office, the one having the shortest time
to serve to be Chief Justice. Sander
son's term expired in 1868 and he was re
elected for the term often years. In 1861
Sprague succeeded Curry. Soon after
this Sanderson resigned and his place
was filled by Crockett, appointed by Gov
ernor Haight and elected in 1869.
Here is where the trouble about terms
in the Supreme Court may be said to
have begun. Crocketts. election was to
fiji Sanderson's unexpired term and it
was expected that he would go out OF
office in 1875. The resignation Of Justice
ShaIter and death Of Justice Sprague ser
we'd to still farther complicate the matter
In 1873, the question first came up as to
the true construction to be placed upon
the amendment, and eminent lawyers
held that there could be no election to the
Supreme Bench for less than ten years.
Under thi, decision the Justices hold
their offices as follows The terms OF
Crockett and Wallace will expire in
in 1879 of Rhodes and Niles in 1851 and
Of McKin-trey in 1888. We had no eIcc-
ton for "a Suprcme Justice in 1873, uol
will there be one in 1877. 1t will be seen
that tn" resignntion, and deaths Of Su-
prrme Justices have caused an entirely
diiiercnt situation in the Supreme Court
from what was contemplated.

that they are a nuisance to the fishermen.

have to return them to the water or lay

GoIHG DOwN The annual meeting Of
the National Grange was held recently in
Chicago and though its proceedings were
secret, synopsis of them got into print
From the report it would seem that the
Granger movement, which Mt one time
assumed a formidable appearance, is de
clining. In eighteen States there has
been marked decrease over 5000 Grang-
ers having gone out of existence while
there is II falling off in membership Of
IS0, 900, compared with the report of 1879,
In this State while there are fewer Grang-
ts by "a, there is an increase of between
tour and five thousand members. The
great trouble in all societies where men are
united to advance their interests as labor
ers, either ms workingmen, mechanics, or
farmers, they are apt to fall under the
control Of fellows who never do a days
work in their lives il it can be helped. -
They manage to fill the Offices, control
the funds, and bring the society into dis
rpute with the really hard working and
i1teligedt. Those remain who are sus-
ceptiblc to the influences of demagogism
in this State the Grand Lecturer of the
Changers undertook to use the in
fuence of his position to make prose lytes
for Democracy, and Of course dsgusted
the sensible part of his audience. Cali
frnia, where the Grange movement did
not begin until it had obtained a firm
toot-hold in the older States, showed an
increase of membership last year, but un-
der the depressing influences of the Grand
Lee urer to whom we have alluded it IS
not probab'e that the next report will be
o character so encouraging.

get to it, but the Supreme Court has fin
ally issued .he writ Of maudamus order
