a Memorial from Judge stone.

Hon. Frederick Stone, chief judge III the
seventh judicial circuit, has sent memorial
to the Legislature, in which he gives his rea-
sons for being opposed to the requirement that
j ,jgss Sh Ill appoint school commissioners
Judge Stone says he has become satisfied by The
experience he has acquired in the appointment
of these school commissioners that the making
of such appoia tmsnts, is, TO say the least, very
inappropriate for judge, and that such duty
has strong tendency to impair the usefulaess
and lessen the respect due to tie bench. These
appointments are much sought after, and in
some cases they have largely influenced the
judicial elections He IS satisfied that this
trust could be better discharged by other
agencies than the judiciary, and that the ex-
errse of this patronage, if he may so term it,
strongly tends to impair the usefulness OF every
ildge " no exercises il, ana il should he at once
changed The memorial was spread upon the
journal and referred to the Judiciary committee
Mr. Muschette, of Chsr,es county, asked
lenv. in The House on Wedn" sday TO introduce
a bill 10 take from t. t Judiciary OF the seventh
Judicial ireuit the appointment If school com
missioner 1t is in The line Of The petiIien re-
ceived from Judge Frederick Stone As above
The till places the appointment in the hands OF
the Governor.
