The public demand for the abolition of the

Senator Burnap writes us as follows con-
corning his municipal court bill : 1T ap-
plies to all municipal courts, aud is introduce
ed At the request of leading men in other
towns having such courts, and particularly
to protect the Bennington court, who's, judge
is appointed by the Governor. Rutland also
wishes the change. | also know that this
has for long time been the sentiment OF
some Of the leading citizens of Burlington. y
The purport of Mr.. Burnap's bill as APP
plying to all municipal courts, was distinctly
stated in our columns and if any remarks
in this paper have been understood us I'M
plying that the bill applied only to our City
Court, they have been misunderstood. The
bill of course hits the case OF our CITY Court:
but not that alone and from Mr. Burnap'.
note, it appears that the call for the bill camt
from the towns of Bennington aud Rutland
which have municipal courts. neither OF
which, We believe, has worked very sa'islac
torily, though the judge of one is appointed
and the Judge of the other elected.
While some aud We trust many, of on
citizens favor m appointivc State Judiciary

as long us the present mode gives lis goo
Judges, there will he no prevailing scnimen
in favor of II change. If Bennington ant
Rutland need legislation for their courts
they can doubtless best obtain it 10y specia
acts. Here. as our Senator has by this tim
learned, there is NJ general call for an
change; and us we are confident he has ha
no thought of flying in the face of the ger
eral feeling on the subject, We presume h
