The Election Of Judges.

wan 49, NNlAS
State seem anxious TO amend the Com
stilutinn so as TO extend the Judges
tenure of office for life. y moments
reflection we think would convince
The most obtuse citizen Of the folly of
this move. In I'll unsettled condi-
ton of affairs, no one man would pre-
sumo to predict with confidence rs to
. the political status of this country
four years hence. Under the present
system We can re-elect our Judges and
keep them in office for life, if we de-
sire to do SO. Under the proposed
change, if the Republicans should
happen TO have control of affairs az
the election four years hence, they
! would in all probability elect men not
to our liking-dnd they mouH &c eject
I'd tor Ntc. We have everything 70
lose and nothing at all to gain by this
proposition. Some men would have
us LOOK on Judges as q little better
lIlll QlIN pONN l
of holy reverence. This is the mcrest
absurd idolatry of Office. Why should
we not expect the same purity from a
Governor, q Legislator, q Probate
Judge, a Sheriff, or 4 Trial Justice?
Erery otfccr Of the state should ito his
Guty on9 TO honestly. If lie does
not do it, he should he turned out. No
Judge wEo is not willing to have the
approval Of the people Of the State cv-
cry four years is worthy of the office.
The experience of the world, and the
history of facts, will prove that there
has been rs vile corruption on the
Bench as elsewhere, and will we in
this enlightened age, tic ourselves
hand and foot, SO that we may have ITO
relief from an Ubiquitous Judge?
The Merchants.
Some Of orr farming friends last
Monday thought we ought to lecture
the merchants on the necessity Of be-
ing generous and liberal to their Gus
toraes. We think if u article had
been rightly construed, that it could
have been clearly seen that we took it
for granted that they would be as len
lent as possible. Wedo not 10Y speak
upon advice to any merchant, nor did
we speak by authority last week. We
spoke upon u OWL notion for the
public welfare. We believe it true
that every merchant in Abbeville coun
ty, who has done Il general business Of
advancing on the crops, has obtained
credit in the cities fora months longer
amount than they are able to pay, if
their customers fail to pay them. The
merchants obtained credit by uncon-
ditional promises to pay his city cred
itor. The farmer promises uncondi-
tionally to the me rchant. They made
no conditions about the rain and are
as much bound to pay the merchant as
the merchant is to pay the city credi-
tor. The city creditor has to be paid
even if it Ieccssitatcs the closing Of
this store. What VIC urged, was that
our farmers should stand to their mer-
chant in his eXtremi ty, and we be.
licvcj that it would he best for both
merchant and farmer for him TO do so.
The merchants we know will extend
every indulgence possible. They have
always done this, and will continue to
do so.
Upon tic facts and the records of our
last article we stand.

Minor Railroad matters.

The increase OF freight business on
all the Wilmington railroads is appar-
ent at glance to all who walk along
the tracks for a short distance within
the city. Freight cars o. sidings, and
freight trains in process of construc
tion are constantly seen, while the
main tracks are occupied with freight
traffic nearly every minute between
the running of the passenger trains.
The trestle work on the W. & N.
Railroad from the freight depot at the
foot of Madison street to the p, w. &
b. r. r. tracks, is being rapidly filed
in, and the tracks are now rc sting all
most entirely on solid earth, making q
decided improvement.
The w. 81 N. Company recently
succeeded in buying old Edward Arm
strong's property, No. 1O2 Maryland
avenue. The Company, it will be re-
membered, established their freight
office in the house adjoining Arm
strong's on the north and established
coal yards in the vacant lot on the
south. They, of course, then desired
to purchase the in1ermediate property,
owped by Armstrong, but the old man,
thinking he had the company by the
hofns, demanded the most exorbitant
prices, at one time asking $4,000 for
his li.tle two story brick house on lot
about 1880 feet. The Company
dropped negotiations, and the old man
weakened, when private party step-
ped in and bought the property for the
Company at reasonable figure.

MILITIA AT YORKTOWN.

s eldiers Complaining Because
Their Tents Are Not Pffched-The
Crowds.
Fo RTREss MONROE, Va, October IA.
Considerable dissatisfaction Is ex-
pressed by the advance guards Of the
militia organizations which expect to
to take part in the military exercises at
Yorktown at the unsatisfactory arrange
ments, or rather of arrangement made
by the committee for their reception.
Ii was understood that Colonel Corbin,
A. A. g., was to have 1900 hospital
tents placed on the grounds and properly
set up for their reception, but 1t is found
at this late hour that while the tents
are there they have not been pitched,
and what is worse, there ms to be
no one to do the work. If stringent
efforts are not soon made by the com.
mittee to remedy this defect the visit
ing militia will have to pitch their own
tents after arrival, a tedious job espec-
tally If the weather happens to be in
clement. The steamers George Leary
Jane Moseley and Lady Of the Lake.

now touching at Yorktown on theii

whore the ..Newsr was wrong.

A "citizen" who evidently knows
no better than to depend upon the
NeSs as an accurate chronicler of
passing events has the following in
this morning 'sissuel of that paper:
In your issue of September 80, l
noticed that Council granted petit
tion Of Quinn, Harrigan, and others,
for damages on account of overflow
of water from Monroe sewer. For
years the property of P. Magarity,
Maryland avenue and Chestnut
street, has been injured in the same
way for seven years he petition
Council for damages, but always res
fused. Did Council grant damages to
Quinn, Harrigan 6 Company be-
cause they are good Democrats, and
refused Mr.. Magarity because he ls
a Republican? A CITIzEN.
Had "Citizen" read the Council
proceedings published in the GA,
zETTE, he would have learned that
Council refused the claims of Quinn
Harrlgan and Others, INSTEAD of grant
ing them and thus avoided the mis-
take into which theIfoolish lnaccuraey
of the Nesps led him.

Leg Broken.

The well-known horse "Louis F. !"
belonging to George Nelson, Esq,
OF Baltimore, had one of his front
legs broken last Saturday afternoon.
The horse, which had trotted in the
races at the Elkton Fair, was sent to
Aberdeen by the owner, and from
there was being driven by a colored
man to Mr.. Jno. A. PYns's stables,
when the horse became frightened
and running, off, ran into a wagon
breaking one of his front legs. To
end his misery the owner afterwards
ordered the horse to be shot. 1t was
Mr.. Nelson's intention to enter him
in one OF the races at our County
Fair. The horse was valued at 81, 500.

FINANCIAL MATTERS.
A Gradual Tightening OF the None,

A Gradual Tightening OF the Money
Market all Around.
Wilmington finances report q
gradual tightening Of the money
market both local aud general
with a decided tendency OF higherrates
OF in terest. As an instance they re-
cite the fact that low rate bonds are
not so eagerly sought after as they
were a year or two ago, thus showing
that capital is seeking other channels
of investment. T., only low rate
securities that L We not deprecated
slightly in the general market are the
government four per cents, which
have long rln-until l9l0-and
therefore possess an element of
stability that makes them valuable
despite the low interest rate, as
safe, permanent investment.
It is stated, on reliable authority,
that q week or two ago the banks of
this city received In one day from
New York brokers million dollars
worth OF good, well.secured paper
for discount. lThe home banks re-
fused the offer, however, as their
local demande we're about as muc ch
as they could con veniently attend
to.
The Al per cent. bonds recently
issued by the town of Delaware City
are still held at l03. The town of
Dover is now engaged in negotiating
iour per cent. loan of$20, 900. The
issue OF Wilmington city bonds to the
amount of $50 ,000l for the benefit of
the Board of Public Education, has
been deferred until February next.
