Mr. Raniamin.

When JUDAH p. BENJAMIN died, the
world lost its greatest lawyer, or at any
rate one Of its greatest lawyers. His re-
markable success in England. to which
country he removed when he was over
fifty years Of age, proves that it was not
because of any peculiar feature of repub-
lcan institutions that he attained to high

Nation, and that weekly tries to tell, why
The Nation, the New York Times, New

is in brief that there are other matters
more important than the tariff! Why cam
not the Democrats act with like prudence

The Legislature.

The decision rendered yesterday by the
Court Of Appeals as to the constitutionality
NJ the law passed by the Legislature at its
last session, providing for the appointment
4, election officers, furnishes another rea-
son why the General Assembly should be
convened In extra session before long.
THE presidential election Is only six months
of. In the mean time, IL is indispensable
that a law should be passed providing for
the election Of twelve instead Of as now
eleven electors, and redistricting the State
for the purposes OF that election. AS
the Court OF Appeals has decided the
law unconstitutional under which all the
present election officers were appointed,
the Legislature must either pass new law
on the subject. or else leave the right to
appoiut the election officers in the hands
of the very officials from whom that body
ATTEMPTED to take II. Taking these two
reasons together, we suppose that the
General Assembly will certainly be con-
yened in extra session in time to remedy
the blunder OF last winter before the occur
renee of the presidential election.
We do not like to "speak evil OF digni'
taries." especially the judges OF our high
est State Court. But II is rather hard to
understand howthey reached the conclusion
they did. We shall try to find out from
the opinion in the case. We may be al
lowed TO say, with Burns:
"Bus an. mankind is unco weak,
And little 10 be trusted;
II self tn wavering balance shake,
Ills rarely right adjusted"
Before we had heard OF this decision, we
had penned an article for to-day's paper in
which we expressed our opinion as to
what Governor CAMERON would do in GER
tain contingencies. He knows that the
Legislature intended and desired to pass n
constitutional law. So whether he himself
holds 1t to be constitutional or net, he
ought not TO allow this matter to influence
him in deciding whether the General As
sembly shall or shall not be called together
to provide for electing as many electors OF
President and Vice-President OF the United
States as Virginia is entitled to elect. 1t
will not do to wrong the old Commonwealth
out of one-twelfth Of Ter voting strength.

VOLUME x1.

| We stated is last weeks STAR that
Taylor, the old man assaulted by the
young scoundrels south Of L,idingtoi',
was dead. 1t seems we were nisin-
formed, and that l.c was alive, although,
I'm condition doubtful II death would
not have been preferable. The Pcnt-
water and L,ilington papers of last
week gave full details of the villainous
affair, and stated the old man was
suff' ring from broScn ribs, ~ broken
skull and nose, besides other minor
bruises. II soeins the two principal
actors IN the murderous performances
were young Cartier and one Gau.i.ttsi
and they had been to Pcntwater; re-
turning drunk, and assaulting every
one they met on the way, pointing a
revolver ut school children, &c. They
were arrested and fined for one of the
assaults, at Ludington, and 1t is sup
posed that having got wind Of tho
probable arrest for tlie dastardly crime
on the inoffensive old man they made
off. 1t Is pity no one here knew OF
the transaction In time to have stopped
them while they were here. We have
heard that the crime was committed
in Oceana county Jurisdiction.
