ROckIand-A Plea for its Inhabitants. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Will you suffer word in behalf of the people of this abused locality, whose misfor- tune it is to have achieved wide and unde- sired notoriety in connection with the Hayden trial. The notion has in some way been ex- tensively circulated through this community that the inhabitants of this section are as a rule coarse, degraded and immoral, and that therefore such evidence as they might give in the case should be received with suspicion. I may say that know that this impression regarding the character of the Rockland con- just.
 It was my privilege when boy to visit the place frequently, and among the most pleas ant memories of youthful days are those of the time spent in their hospitable homes, in the huts of the charcoal burners while watch ing coal pits, in hunting and fishing, or pick ing blackberries and huckleberries which grow here in immense fields and in the great est perfection.
 It is now well known that this section is ex cesdingly rough and rocky. High ridges and precipitous lodges enclose scant meadows and a small amount of arabic land. From some of the highest points used to be delighted with the fine views of green forests, with Long Island Sound in the distance, upon which white sails were drifting back and forth The acquaintance of childhood among the people there has been continued, and at inter vals of a few years have been glad to quit the highways of busy life in the city for a brief sojourn in the semi solitude of this rus tic community. I have thus come to know some of tine people there, and am familiar with of the elderly natives. You can find here perhaps the best examples of the old fashioned New England dialect. Nature has been a rugged foster mother, and the children are hardy, self-reliant and sometimes hard-fa-

Election of Judges.
[From the Hartford Courant. 1

On Tuesday two amendments to the Consti- tuition relating to the choice of judges, which were passed by the House last year, were re- ferred to the Committee on Constitutional Amendments. The first provides that Judges of the Supreme Court of Errors and of the Superior Court shall upon nomination of the Governor be appointed by the General Assem- bly, in such manner as shall by law be pre- scribed." The second makes the same pro- visions as to Courts of Common Pleas and District Courts. These amendments were recommended by the State Bar Association, and at it's meeting yesterday that association directed it's committee, one of whom is the Hon. k. D. Hubbard, to appear before the committee of the General Assembly and pre- sent it's views. Five States of the Union elect judges by the General Assembly. They are, Connecticut Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia. Ten States choose by Governor and Council or Governor and Senate. They are Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mas sachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Michigan, Delaware Maine. Most of these ten States have courts of the highest character. The people of Connecticut do not change their organic laws for light reasons. But there is a great dissatisfaction with our mode of selecting judges. The proposed amendments do not take the appointing pow CT away from the General Assembly, They do take the nominating power from an ire sponsible party caucus and lodge 1t with the Governor, who will be responsible. It is to be hoped that every member will fully inform himself of the facts relating to the subject. full discussion of matter so important is to be desired. The people have the most di- rect interest in the ability, learning and high character of their courts. Many States elect judges by popular vote. New York is one of these. The Court of Appeals of that State stands high, but there is complaint as to many of their elected judges. Judges of the courts of the United States have been celebrated for learning and independence. They are nomi- mated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Constitutional amendments which may be approved by the Legislature will go to the people with much more force and weight if they are fully discussed while pend ing before that body.

Platform Of the New York Scratchers.
 l. Independent Republicans adhere to the Republican principles of national supremacy, sound finance and civil service reform, ex- pressed in the Republican platform of 1876, in the letter of acceptance of President Hayes, and in his message of 1879, and they seek the realization of those principles in practical laws and their efficient administration. This requires :-
 1. The continuance on the statute book of laws protecting the lights of voters at nation al elections. But national supremacy affords no pretext for interference with the local rights of communities, and the development of the South from it's present defective civ ilization can be secured only under constitu- tional methods, such as those of President Hayes.
 2. The passage of laws which shall deprive .greenbacks of their legal tender quality, as a first step toward their ultimate withdrawal and cancellation and shall maintain all coins made legal tender, at such weight and fine ness as will enable them to be used without discount in the commercial transactions of the world.
 3. The repeal of the acts which limit the terms of office of certain government officials to four years the repeal of the tenure of office acts, which limit the power of the execu- tive to remove for cause the establishment of permanent civil service commission, or equivalent measures, to ascertain by open competition and certify to the president or other appointing power the fitness of appli- cants for nomination or appointment to all non-political offices.
 II. Independent Republicans believe that local issues should be independent of party. The words Republican and Democrat should have no weight in determining whether school district or a city shall be administered on business principles by capable men. With view to this, legislation is asked which shall prescribe for the voting for local and for State officers upon separate ballots.
 TIL Independent Republicans assert that 8 political party is a corporation among voters to secure the practical enactment into leRisla- ton of political convictions set forth as it's platform. Every voter accepting that plat form is member of that party; any repre- sentative of that party opposing the princi- ples or evading the promises of it's platform forfeits the support of it's voters. No voter should be held by the action or nomination of any caucus or convention of his party against his private judgment. It is his duty to vote against bad measures and unfit men as the only means of obtaining good ones, and if his party no longer represents it's professed principles in it's practical workings, 1t is his duty to vote against it.
 ". Independent Republicans seek good nominations through participation in the primaries, and through the defeat of bad nominees; they will labor for the defeaS of any local Republican candidate and, in CO., operation with those holding like views else- where, for the defeat of any general Republi- can candidate whom they do not deem ft.
