TIE CHEF JUsrIcE.- E.-Forty-cight
hours ago VIC announced positively
through the columns Of the Regisier
that Chief Justice Willard would not
yield tho Chief Justices chair without
a contest, and, as our statement has
been contradictcd, we arc now pre-
pared, for tho benefit ofthc public, to
rcitcratc that statement, which we
made so late in the day for the simple
reason that we supposed everybody
who knew anything knew that the
Chief Justice intended from the be-
ginning to contest tho election of Gov
crnor Simpson to be his successor.
These facts have been known to near
] ~ all the prominent members Of the
Columbia bar for months past and TO
all tho parties interested, and mono of
them have had any other opinion from
tho beginning. Our readers through
ont the State may, therefore, rely upon
us for this much, viz: That, unless
Judge Willard has changed his mind
since our article published in tho Reg-
istcr of August ,ith, he means 70 per
init Governor Simpson to qualify and
then present his case to tho Supreme
Court. 1t is due to the Chief Justice
to say that he claims to be moved bv no
partisan spirit in the premises, but
simply by a desire to have the oucs.
tion rs to whether or not he was elect.
cd Tor six ycrrs settled by the highest
authority in the Statc-thc Suprcmc
Court--of which court he considers
himself q member until removed bv &
