Our New Judge.

We have made the following ex-
tacts from the different papers in
the district IN order to let our read
ers see what our contemporaries
think OF the appointment of Major
S. Ii. Terral MS circuit jndge of the
Se,enth judicial district:
Meridian Mercury.
After II long time OF watching
waiting, and OF hopes deferred, the
appointment for Judge for this,
Seventh judicial district, has been
made and confirmed, on the day
before the last of the session. Why
il was not made before, and all
doubts and hopes set at rest, God,
in his iuscrutable wisdom only
knows-and that leaves out the
Governor. Gov, Lowry, in making
this appointment appears to have
consulted only bis own private
feelings aud wishes, and all this
thing in trying to bring Influence
to bear upon him by gentlemen OF
Influence supposed-and by dele.
gatious from seacoast or inland,
amounted to nothing. The enquiry
arises why didn't Governor Lowry
say Mt once and stop this thing OF
dancing attendance upon the Gov
ernol's private office for so long q
time in season aud out of season
| AS il is. no man who has invaded
the Governors private office to
make a recommendation for the
judgeship of the Seventh but feels
d little queer, and rather little and
mean, AS If he had been bucklng
up against stocked hand, ana
curses himself tor being u fool not
to know any better. AS was said
the Governor seems in this ease to
have consuoed his own feelings
and predictions without regard
to the advice of gentlemen OF IN

district, though said to have had
strong backing outside. or fouI
applicants in this end OF the dis
| tlict, they ali had more "lniluences'
than Terral-we NEAR inside theii
district. Far be it from MS to blame
Gov. Lowry for having a VIII aho
n way OF bis own. Ii we hau any
influence at court, we wohlu say
that Gov. Lowry made a mistake

UNTFIoArIoN OF THE PRE-RMPrIoN AND
HOMESTEAD LAws-As the agricultural
lands of the public domain grow gradu
ally less each succeeding year, it would
seem to be policy on the part OF the
government to retain them for the
benefit of the actual settler and not per-
init the few to have monopoly of them.
A step in this direction could be accom-
plished by doing away with the selec-
tion OF lands under the provisions of
the pre-emption law. When the public
domain was much larger than now, it
was policy to have the country settled
up, hence the passage OF the pre-emp-
tion act. The law was good enough in
ITS time, but the subsequent passage Of
the homestead and timber culture acts
have virtually done away with the ne
cessity or usefulness OF the pre-emption
law. The question now is, not how to
get settlers, but TO divide what remains
among those who desire to permanently
settle on and improve it. The gradua.
ton act had failed to accomplish the OBJ
Ject designed, as its provisions were too
easily circumvented and great frauds
were practiced under il, and the records
OF the Land Office to-day will show that
as great If not greater ones are perpetra-
ted under its successor-the pre-emption
law. Especially are these frauds noticea.

one revoking the pre-emption law
