To the Editors of the Clarion


The recent announcement, over his own
signature, that the Hon. Jno. w. G.. Watson.
the Judge Of the Holly Springs Circuit
Court, has retired from the editorial man
agement of a political journal known as the
Holly Springs South, seems to me TO require
something more than passing notice.
Reverencing as | do the judicial Office and
honoring as | do manly, intelligent and
honorable Journalist, [ yet hold the posi-
tions utterly Incompatible union of the
Judge and the Journalist in the same
person, is an incestous union, one that de-
grades the bench and dishonors the
press. Justice has always been repre-
sented AS blind, and the man who
holds her scales, has no business to foul
the ermine in the muddy water of
partisan politics. As a Judge, holding
the life, the liberty and the property O.. the
citizen so largely at his disposal, how can
he hope to preserve the calm judgment and
the impartial temper requisite for the proper
performance of his honorable and RESPONSE
bic duties, if he engages daily, or even
weekly, in the heated and acrid political
discussions of the times The latter utter
y units him tor the former duties. and. as
result, brings both his judicial and edito-
rial functions into contempt.
Judge Watson is a man of learning and
integrity, but neither his ability nor his
honesty can protect him from partisan bias
he is but human, and the fact that men are

against the marriage of judicial and four
nalistic functions.
He who spake as man never spake, uttered
the essence of all wisdom when he taught
us TO breathe those divine words, 'slead us
not into tenn ptation." The fact that Judge
Watson, in his dual character of Journalist
and Judge, has been guilty of no startling
outrage upon either of his professions, is
due more to the caution and prudence of
his nature, and the upri ghtness of his moral
character, than to anything else, and it is
not safe for us to expect that every man
who chances to reach judicial honors will
be the possessor of his calm and equitable
temperament, either on or off the Bench or
the tripod. A furious partisan in poll
tics can never make a safe Judge,
and no man should attempt, or be
allowed to exercise the duties of two
positions so incompatible, as those of Judge
and Journalist, and sincerely hope that
the Legislature will pass law forbidding
such incestious marriages. If man de-
sires to be Judge, the ambition is an hon.
orable one, and will never say TO him nay,
but he must have but one mistress. and the

by the Southern Express Company, the
sum of three hundred dollars to Hon. r.

The greater portion of the funds sent
were contributed by the members of the

and we hope that the House will not be
behind in contributing handsomely for
this noble and patriotic cause. General

A Dreadful Mistake.

She gave him beautiful worked pair
of slippers, and, although tn ey were an
inch too short, and pinched him dreadful
" across the toes, he 3smilingly submitted
to the martyrdom which they imposed,
and vowed they never should leave his
feet.
This reckless statement must be re-
ceived by the reader with becoming
cautiousness.
And so the young man made a return
of her offering. It was his picture, en-
cased in handsome frame. He wrote a
note to send with it, and at the same time
replied angrily to an oft-repeated dun
from his tailor, with reference to an I'M
paid-for suit of clothes. He gave boy
encents to deliver the notes and package,
giving explicit directions as to the desti-
nation OF each. 1t was an unusually in
tell1gent boy, with freckled face, and he
discharged his errand in q manner that
should give him aniche in the temple of
fame. The young lady received note in
her adored ones handwriting, and flew to
her room to devour its contents. She
opened the missive with eager fingers, and
read.
I'm getting tired of your everlasting
attentions. The suit is worn out already.
