second, is not the purpose of such &C.
ton by the party to prevent the very re-
suit complained Off third, are not the pre-
cedents uniform. where judicial offices are
made elective, for political parties to cen
centrate upon candidates who are duly
nominated2
We do net think that any one will con-
tend that any candidate, who would re-
ceive the Democratic nomination for the
judgeship, would SO poorly appreciate his
high trust, as to allow political prejudices
to influence his judgment in private liti-
fairly maintained that the nomination and
election of candidate for the iudgeship
by the Democratic party, would place the
candidate under any pledges to maintain
the principles of Democracy, even upon
such public and political questions as
may occasionally come within the juris-
of the convention, as we understand it, is
to select from the four counties csmpos-
ing the circuit. two gentlemen. who, in
the aggregate judgment of the representa-
tive men in convention assembled, are fit
ted, by their probity, learning and conser-
vatism, for the judicial office; and the rea-
sonable presumption would he, of course,
that a candidate SO selected would be
found, in his adjudications upon public
questions, opposed to the un-conservativs
and radical pr 'nciple of Capitalization of
power in the Federal Government
The action of the central committee was,
we think, predicated upon the assumption
that the Republicans in this circuit would
make nominations for the judgeships.-
Why they should have thought proper to
forestall the Republicans in their action,
is something that we certainly do not un-
derstand, but it is undoubtedly too late
now to find fault with their action. As
Stunning, therefore, that the Republicans
will make nominations, and that they will
nominate men who will be opponents of
the Republican idea of Capitalization, We
think that it will unavoidably follow that
the defeat Of such men, and the election
of gentlemen of undoubted conservatism
upon constitutional questions, would serve
to protect the Judiciary of the State and
circuit from the contamination of new
found and dangerous partisan heresies.-
It is well known that the great disiin-
gushing principle of the Republican par
ty, upon constitutional questions is, that
by the 'lresults of the war;" as they term
it, the federal nature of cur republic was
effectually changed, and from that period
it has become Nation with big, big
N" Democrats believe that the enforce
ment of that principle would be destruc-
tive of the true principles of our Govern
ment, and, ultimately, of tho liberties Of
the people. Wherever the appointing
power to judicial Offices is invested in
Democratic Executives, they deem it q
paramount duty to be very careful that

Judicial Nominations.

There seems to be few Democrats who
are averse to the recent action of the State
Central Committee, in calling convention
to nominate candidates for Chief Justice
and Associate Justice for this circuit
We observe that our neighbor, the hide
pendent, is inclined to concur in this view,
and thinks that the action of the commit
tee was ill-advised and hasty. We OBJ
serve, too, that our neighbours article has
been copied by the Calvert Journal, whose
senior editor is an independent candidate
for the judgeship.
The objection that the judicial Office
should not be made political one Or sub
servient to political influences, is certain
~ an incontrovertible one. 1t is undoubt-
eddy true that, when a lawyer is invested
with the judicial ermine, he should lay
aside all, political, religious, social and
other prejudices, and, in the discharge of
his judicial functions, know only the
science of law, and labor singly for its i'm
partial application to the facts as devel-
eped in the legal investigations before
him. 1t is true, too, that the Office of the
judicial department of Government, so far
as it bears upon public and political ques-
tions, is to counteract and control the par
tisan s1iiit which may sometimes per-
vert mt and misguide the wis
don departments, and thus
principles of constitu-
should be careful
by those who are
p with the action OF
the es, are. first, will the
elect licial candidates, nominated
by the vMocratic convention, serve to

4 Shower or Fish.

Last week a small fish was left
at this Office, which was said To
have fallen upon the street in a
rain shower. We sent it To Mr..
{. J. Smith, of Brookfeld. for
Identification. AIR. Smith was un-
able to classify it, but thinks it
most resembles a small sickle
back. He was not inclined to in
vest largely in the story Of ITS
having trained down." but admit
ted that such thing was not abso-
lutely impossible, as small animals
are sometimes taken up by whirl-
winds and waterspouts, and car
considerable distances. But this
is not the time Of year when such
things are likely to occur. 1t Is
not possible. however, for our IN
formant to be mistaken; and in
continuation Of his statement, we
find the following in a Portland
paper OF Thursday last: The Re
publican saws: ~ lumhernan
named Rhodes. who resides in the
neighborhood of Westport ON the
Columbia river, came up on the
Astoria boat Yesterday evening
and put up at the Minnesota house.
He brought with him a pickle jar
filled with live fish averaging an
inch and a half I'm length, and of
the genus orthagoriscus, or sun
fish class. Mr.. Rhodes saws that
about half past seven a heavy dark
cloud passed over his cabin, which
is away from any stream or swamp,
and Of "A sudden it commenced TO
rain heavily. 4 flash Of lightning
and light clap OF thunder were
followed by shower Of fish,
which kept coming down for about
ten seconds. The little fellows
kicked and squirmed along the
ground, and Rhodes succeeded in
gathering up the jar full Of live
ones before they gave up the
ghost. When seen last night they
were swimming about as though
their fall had not injured them at
all. Mr.. Rhodes left this msrning
for Eugene to present the jar to
the faculty OF tho State University.
The gentleman looks like an hon
est and unpretentious man. and as
serts that his story is true and can
be verified. We give it for what
it is WORTH
