"a few years ago the impression produced
upon Europeans by our women was scarcely
d favorable one except for beauty. Their
clash, their independence and their case OF
manner were misconstrued into symptoms Of
last" behavior, and 1t took some years to
open European eyes to the fact that the Amer

SIIEET'
THE, JUDICIARY.

Since our article on the report Of the judi
,ciarv Committee. wherein various objections
were pojnted out, we notice that D number Of
changes have been made. TheSupreme judges
are appointed. The circuit judges are to be
elected by the Legislature. The district
Judges are to be elected by the people, except
iii Orleans, where they are to be appointed.
This assumption that the people Ut Now Or
leans, embracing large Democratic maiorities,
are not equally as capable Of selecting their
Judges as the country districts, many Of which
have large negro majoritles, La bitterly re-
scented by the people Of this city.
The bar III New Orleans have tried for years
10 control the nominations Of judges, but the
people have regarded this matter as one
touching their interests and their liberties In
too vital manner to be subjected to the com
binations and intrigues set on foot In the pro-
fession prior to every nominating convention
and so Jealous have they been Of the dlctatior
of the bar that It's recommendations are sci
dom needed, the people, whether rightfully
or wrongfully. fearing that the bar would
seek to pension off old practitioners, or place
On the bench lawyers Of lucrative practice
with q view to their succession.
Notwithstanding this fact, 1T cannot be SAID
TINT the bench ot New Orleans will not com
rare favorably With that OF the country
some OF our able judges have been continued
on the bench for fourteen years Not breath
of scandal has been whispered against the
Judges selected by the people; many OF then
are recognized as men OF the very h1ghes'
legal standing; all are painstaking, hard
working, incorruptible men, and are go re-
aarded by the people and the bar.
The sentiment among the masses OF this
city ID one III Indignation at the dlscrimina
tion made against them. 1t appears that tht
Inwyers in che Convention have thanked tht
i people by the assistance Of large number
delegates. who seem to think that the masses
uf the people III New Orleans have no rights
which they are called upon to respect.
