Neither county judges nor circuit judges
ought to be required TO appoint election
officers. All men Of all parties should con-
cur in this opinion. The General Assem-
bly, is the proper body to provide for the
appointment OF these officers. Up TO 1861
the Governor selected three citizens in each
county who appointed the election officers
for al except the courthouse precinct.

Comfy superintendents.

X + said that when Hon. J0nN \. MASON,
who continued in the Cabinet few days
after General TAYLoR's inauguration as
President Of the United States, asked the
old General what he should do in a certain
case that had lust come up in his Depart
ment, the honest old soldier replied. "Any.
thing tina, Is lawful, Mr.. Mason" The
General Assembly OF Virginia should be as
careful as was General TAYLOR TO keer
within the law--that is, the Constitution
in all their legislation.
TIE gentlemen who have proposed the
billnow pending relative TO county super
in;endents OF public free schools are Of
course satisfied that II Is constitutional
but we are forced to opine that the masses
OF the people viii be more likely to concur
with General WIcKHAM in the objection
that the Constitution vests absolutely in the
Senate and the State Board together the
power TO appoint and remove all county
superiniendents OF public free schools"
The Constitution, IL is true, gives to the
General Assembly the power to declare the
cases in which any Office shall be deemed
yacaut--mark the Qualifying words
s.where no provision Is made for that pur-
pose in this Constitution" But the Con-
stituticn also gives to the State Board and
the Senate the power TO "remoye" such
superiu.eudents. II may be replied that
thar Is not power TO declare vacancy.
No; not in terms; but in effect. Surely II
the senate and the Board remove"
superintendent they create ''vacancy";
and II there be such vacancy, not even
the Legislature can constitutionally de-
clare or create another vacancy-a vacancy
on top OF vacancy-in that county; and IL
not in that county. in no county.
However, we did not set out with the
intention OF arguing the question. We
have every confidence in the sound iudg-
meni OF the General Assembly; and will
content ourselves with repeating General
TAYLoR's good advice: " Anything that is
constitutional"

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.I
LIBERTY, February 7, 1884.
The County Court OF Bedford county
has been engaged during the most OF the
week In the trial Of G.. l.. Martin for the
killing OF j. +. Hughes on the 2Sth OF No
vember last. Hughes and Martins father
were engaged in an alteration, when
Hughes fired three times at the elder Mar
tin, and young Martin fired upon Hughes,
inficting wound from which Hughes
died in few hours. The defence was that
young Martin did the killing In defence OF
his fathers life. At the end Of laborious
trial the jury brought in verdict Of "not
guilty" The trial excited great interest
in the county on account Of the promi-
nence of the parties concerned, but all
parties seem to agree to the justice OF the
verdict. The Commonwealth was repre-
sented by III. e. Loring, Commemorative
attorney, and 7. n. Williams, OF Lynch
burg. and the defence by i. A. Sale, W.

The present General Assembly has felt
itself instructed by the people to undo the
legislation OF the last General Assembly, so
far as that legislation was VIGOROUSLY par
tisan and unjust, as were most certainly the
laws turning out all the faithful officials of
all the asylums and other State institutions.
II was compelled, therefore. TO strip Cover

powers.
Is il partisanry to legislate Mahoneite Of
ficials out OF office! That's just what the
people wish 10 see done, when it can be
done without violating the Constitution.
AZ any rate, the Legislature seems to be
