APPOINTMENT OF REGISTRARS.
Mr. Atkinson moved TO take up his bill
\ in relation TO the appointment OF registrars
bv the circuit courts. Agreed to. Mr.
| Atkinson, who is chairman OF the Commit
tee for COURTS OF Justice, said that Mr.. Me-
/ Corlnick had offered substitute, which
was acceptable to him, and he hoped that
that would be adopted.
Mr.. Koiner said that the bill proposed
to make radical change in our system, and
he hoped the necessity for 1t would be
fully explained.
MIR. Mccormick replied that in his iudg-
ment the judiciary ought not to have any
/ thing to do with elections; we have seen
how some OF our present judges have
prostituted their offices.
The plan that is proposed is to have the
Judges and registrars appointed by an
! Electoral Board elected by the General
Assembly for each county and city III the
| Commonwealth.
MIR. Atkinson followed in support OF the
bill. and argued that the hands OF the !u-
dietary should be kept clear OF politics aS
| far us possible, and therefore he regarded
the Till as a step in the right direction.
Mr.. Koiner said that the object Is a
good one: there could be no doubt
about that. No doubt the law required
some amendments, but he would have the
Senate proceed catiouously.
THE bill was read by sections, and Mr..
Mccormick offered a number OF amend
ments intended TO perfect the OIL.
Mr.. Gaines said that he hoped the Dlii
would be passed by; that he proposed 10
offer bin declaring vacant all Offices held
Inv Readiusters, and that would do away
with the necessity for this bill. Laugh
