Rank Bourbonism.

4 contemporary, discussing the ques-
ton Of how judges should be selected,
INDUCES the old slogan about the con-
Eliminating influence of the passions
and preiudices of the crowd" That is
rank Bourbonism. John Anthony Quit
man and his compatriots were assailed
with the same sort of weapon when they
fought the battles Of the people, and won,
in 1S32-ffty years ago-when Missis-
sippi pioneered the way which nearly
all the other States have followed. A
Judge carries with him upon whatever
eminence he may be lifted, and by what
ever means, like passions with other men.
He is not made purer or better by the
manner of his choice. William l..
sharkey, C. p Smith, A. NJ. Clayton, A.
H. Handy, Henry T. Elicit, William
Cothran, and a long list of other
worthless who have adorned the jurispru-
Dental annals of Mississippi, and whose
names we're not born to die-were elect
ed by the people.
Another esteemed contemporary says
the negroes could not then vote in the
election of judges. Nor could they
vote in the election of Governor, nor
Attorney-General, nor members o the
Legislature But nobody gives that as
a reason why the people should be de
priyed Of their sovereign right.
From some other contemporaries, We
have reproduced the following expires.
sions:
! Summit Times and Intclligencer.
If it could be said that our present corps
of Judges are so pure and spotless thai
angels sing them to sleep and then sins
| them awake, still the fact would remain
that an important privilege of the people
has been usurped-a tresspass woefully
inconsistent with the principles of Repub
lican government-that of welding {
direct influence in the choice of theil
servants. If the question should become
one of expediency, would our judges
not be driven to a strict adherence t.
duty through fear of popular displeasure
and punishment for any abuse of Office
no matter how great the temptation
or desire-if their records were practi
cally subject to public scrutiny anC
judgment? Yet to view it in the light o
question of political expediency is tt
clothe it with a perfectly ridiculous in
consistency. 1t is a curious problem o
how best to bind the hand of justice t.
the rod so as to keep its fingers out of tn
flesh pots"
Tupelo Journal.
All that the advocates of an electiy
judiciary ask, is that the people of tn
State be given an opportunity to expires
their will on the subject. = !
THE colored voter is no longer menac
to good government in the South, ant
the opponents of an elective judiciar,
do him injustice and make themselve
ridiculous by their persistency in keep
ing him in that attitude.

give expression to their views on thi
subject, and then elect men to the Leg
islature fully in accord with them.
