COL 4. Y. Harper, in Southern States.
In ante bellQn DAYS. before the NOrt hern
kttss and kestrels swoOped down upon Mis-
siseippi the people had the power OF select
ing their own Judges. In that good and
paItIen time, no second rate maneXpOund ed
the law in the courts of our Commonwealth.
Tic stainless ermine was placed In The care
and keeping of statutes men-men who
knew the law, and knowing il, did their
duty, without fear. favor or affection. But
The carpet baggers came and endowed the
Chief Executive with the p-filrus power OF
Swing who should and who should not be
our Judges. The result has beer ruinous to
onr State in unHumbered Ways IL has lie
stroyed the check aud balances OF the Gov
ernInent, by ma&ing the Judiciary SubsldI-

airy createdhy the Executive branch ct
the Government cannot, in the very ma
ture of thing. possess the same spirit OF
imparriality that would chararserize ii II
owed its existence 10 the people.
Whye
Because the present system gives the
Governor a personal follow iug IN every
judicial district made mp OF his up ponrees
and their friends. and The power and intlu-
tnce of the following is used 10 advance the

Why, ii would be just sens bic Tor the
Governor to Sc ect "A Legislature as to
choose a Judiciary. 1t would be equally

The appointing power in the hands of the
Chief Executive is mOuarchica lie i the
usurpation of d right that poloug to the
masses in their royal and sovereign caPar-
ity.
Under these circumstances it behooves
the people to rise ~ and demand that the
judiciary be made elective forthwith, Ia
10 other way can they hope to >irlngle the
present favoritism that crops out in the

DRIFTING.

Ny soul TO day
Is far away,
Sailing the Vesuvian Bay;
Ny winged boat,
A bird af1oat,
Swims round the purple peaks remote
Round purple peaks
Il sails and seeks
Blue inlets and their crystal creeks,
Where high rocks throw,
Through deeps below,
duplicated golden glow.
In lofty lines
Mid palms and pines,
And olives, aloes, eims and vines,
Sarrento swings,
On sunset wings,
Where Tassoe's spirit scars aud sings.
Far. vague and dim,
The mountains swim;
While on VisuYius misty brim,
With outstretched hands,
The gray smoke stands,
Ger looking the volcanic lands.
Here Ischia smiles
Der liquid miles:
And wonder bluest of the isles,
Calm Capri waits,
Here sapphire gates
Begniling to her bright estate.
| heed not, if
My ripping skif,
Floats swift or slow from cliff 10 elm
With dreamful eyes.
My spirit lies
Under the walls of Paradise.
Under the walls,
Where swelis and falls,
The bays deep breast at intervals,
At peace lie;
Blown softly by
A cloud upon this liquid sky.
The day so mild,
Is Heavens own child,
With Earth and Ocean reconciled:
The airs feel,
Around me steal,
Are murmuring to the nurmuring keel.
Over the rail,
Ny hand trail,
Within the shadow of the sail,
JOY intense,
The cooling sense
Glides down my drowsy lndolence-
With dreamful eyes,
My spirit lies,
Where Summer sings and never dies,
Ger yelled with vines,
She CLOVIS and shines,
Among the future oils and wines.
Her children hid,
The cliffs amid,
Are gambling with the gambling kid,
As down the walls
With tiusy calls,
Laugh on the rocks like waterfalls.
The fisher child;
With tresses wild,
Unto the smooth bright sand beguiled,
With glowing lips,
Sings as she skirs,
Or gazes at the far off ships.
Yon deep bark goes,
Where traffic flows,
From lands of sun to lands of SHOWS,
This happier one,
It's course is run
From lands of snow, to lands of sun.
o! happy ship,
To rise and dip,
With the blue crystals at your lip,
o happy crew.
My soul tn you,
Sails and sails, and sings anew.
No more, no more,
This worldly shore,
Upbraids me with it's loud uproar,
With dreamful eyes.
My spirit lies,
Under the walls of Paradise.

RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS.

BY. reference to Documents "a"
and "B, it will be seen that the receipts
exceed the disbursements to the amount
of $1S5,025 81. While this amount
is less than for the year previous, it
must be borne in mind that under the
revenue laws governing the collection of
taxes for the fiscal year 1877, the time
was extended from the 1st day of De
cember, to the 18th of the same month.
BY reason of this extension of time. a
large per centage of the taxes collected
for the fiscal year 1877, were not paid
over in time to be embraced in the re
ceipts Of this year. 1t must also be
remembered that that the tax levy for
the fiscal year 1877 was reduced Il

mills in 1876. | am gratitied to be
able to report the fact that while the
burden of taxation has been largely
decreased, the receipts have beer suffi-
cient to meet all demands upon the
State Treasury, and still leave a
considerable balance sufficient to
meet all accruing expenses. l
am of opinion that the rate of
taxation may be still further reduced.
