We suggest that rs the term OF all the
Judges expired the lst OF January, there Is
a vacancy In all NE counties, except those
in which the new judges were elected w ore
Christmas. This vacancy VIII nave 10 nc

The Nation says that the 3 RANT boom will
be strong enough in February toenable Don
CAMERON TO have the PenusylvGoia dele
gates TO the Chicago Convention instructed
to vote for GRANT, but will be so weak
when the Convention meets that Doy may
turn over the votes to Mr. SHERMAN. We
find everywhere eyideoce that General
GRANT would not run as well Ia The North
as BLAINE or SHERMAN. In the South the
negroes would OF course rather support him
than any other aspirant. 49, <atl i.t

As to the power OF the Legislature to
elect a Judge to serve for more than SIN
years, the following from the LQlc journal
for January testifies:
II 1t is within the power of the Legisla-
ture to shorten the judicial term, as this
resolution unquestionabIy does, why has il
not the same power to tengthen it? But in
State er rel. G0Odin Us. IkOman, auditor,
de-, it was held that " where the ConStitu-
ton OF the State fixed the term OF office OF
a district Judge at four years. ii IS not lcith-
in the pocer Of the Legislature to increase
or e9tend that term, directly or indirectly"
Now if the Legislature cannot increase
or extend a judges term, directly or indi.
rectly, it cannot elect a judge TO serve for
six years and eleven months. The ConstitU-
ton gave the Legislature of 1870 that
power, and thereby denied it to all future
Legislatures.
