The Tenth Judicial District MIDDLE.

The GLOBE yesterday mentioned the fact
that Hon. j. @. Farmer, judge elect of the
Tenth Judicial district, had duly qualified as
such judge in the presence of the full bench
of the supreme court, and was ready to as
sumo the duties of his Office. But it now
seems Mr.. Farmers troubles were not over
with this proceeding. he had been elected
and had qualified in accordance with the law
to assume the Office, but the trouble with
him was to find out just when his term of Of
fee commenced. A search through the
records of the secretary of states office was
finally successful in fading that the vote of
Judge Page was canvassed by the legislature
on the 9th day of January, 1873, but nothing
could be found to show when he qualified as
judge. Resort was then had to
the records OF the supreme
court, and it was soon found that
the court was not then in session, and it be-
gan to be question whether Page had ever
qualified at all. This doubt was finally
solved by Clerk Nichols, who discovered
among the papers of the Office certificate
of Hon. S. j. R. Mcmillan, the associate
justice, as to the appearance of Page before
him and subscribing to the oath of Office on
the 9th of January, 1873, the day following
the canvass of the votes.
Judge Farmer yesterday secured oertifi-
cate of the votes cast at the recent election,
and the decision of the canyassers declar-
ing his election, and copy of the Aforesaid
certificate of McMilIan's, and armed with
these he will, on the 9th of next month,
proceed to assume the duties of his Office.

until their successors are chosen. Of course
every effort will be made to have the Republic
can majority actully elected seated by the two
houses and constituted by the governor and
council, but the men who have carried through
the counting out by the governor and council
will devise excuses for keeping the rightfulIy
elected men permanently out, will not right
the wrong they have done until their leeisla-
ture has elected its officers. In a party point
of view the Democrats will find that the ad-
vantage gained by such unjust means will cost
them prestige at home and character abroad.
