reproachable as those of any men in
the district, so far as he knew, he adj
vanced as an objection to Judge Han
cocks reelection the statement that
the latter had accepted "A free railroad
pass, and against Mr.. Bearden that he
had been employed by the railroads
as their attorney. The argument of
Mr.. Burnam was advanced with a
mellifluous ingenuity that was well
calculated to captivate his audience
and probably did until a second sober
thought interviewed. The fact that
there is no railroad litigation in the
chancery court would show the ire

BILE to sustain the charge of corrupt
bility in gentlemen whosereputations

even of Mr.. Burnam himself. Mr..
Burnam devoted most of his speech

thought Rutherford had had more
than her share of judicial chicken pie
and that Lincoln was now entitled to
slice.
The above comments from the
Woodbury. Courier we endorse in so
far as they relate to the custom of
making place in our judiciary the
object of public Debate or political
scramble. Judges are elected for the
purpose alone of administering the
law, which is a fixed and certain
thing. This leaves but one unsettled
question in choosing judge, and that
is, who is the fittest for the place ?
The candidate who makes this ques-
ton the subject of public discussion is
certainly guilty of egotism. To dis
cuss any other question would be so
irrelevant as to prove his incompe-
tency for the place he seeks.

men imperil their lives to save the
Union.
Some of the vetoed claimes were so
grotesqne that the president, in his
message, could not refrain from pre-
senting their ridiculous aspect, for
instance this case. A soldier re-
manned in the army one month and
seventeen days, having entered it as
a substitute at time when high
bounties were paid. Fifteen years
after this brilliant service he descov-
cred that an attack of measles had
had some relation to his army enroll
ment, and that the disease had "set-
tied in his eyes," Another claimant
asked a pension because of the death
Of a son killed in action. Being poor,
he sent his son to live with an uncle
and afterwards with a stranger. The
son was killed in '62 but the father
did not know of it until '64. The
President thought after such an ex-
hibition of abandonment and heart
lessness on the part of the father, he
should not be allowed any benefits of
a patriotic sons death.
The Republicans in the House of
Representatives are engaged in the
business Of filibustering against the
introduction of rule making it in
order to provide an income tax for
raising the necessary revenue to any
pension bill. This is clearly and
almost confessedly done to catch the
soldier vote.

Pan-Electric Trouble.

Nashville Banner.
The latest phase of the Pan Electric
scandal is the institution of a suit by j.
Harris Rogers, the phenomenal cleo
trician, against Messrs. Garland, Har-
ris, Atkins, Johnston and Young, his
distinguished co>partners. for a dissolu.
ton of the partnership, for settlement
of accounts and for damages in the
sum of 100000. In his bill Rogers
charges that his distinguished co.part,
ners to whom he had donated stock,
despite their declarations that they
would not sell stock, or state and city
rights until the litigation with the Bell
company had been terminated, had
sold stock and state and city rights and
failed to make fair division of the
money, A courteous averment in his
bill is the statement that the notoriety
given the distinguished stockholders
by reason of their connection with the
company had seriously damaged the
Pan-Electric business. The next thing
in order will probably be poem from
the pen of DR.. J. Webb Rogers.
