Poor john S. Young. None SO poor
as to do him reverence now How faith
ful he was to his friends, and with what
ingratitude his fidelity has been repaid !!
He had hoped to put on the judicial err
mine; but he has been spewed up by
his friends like an unclean thing and
relegated to private life, TO ruminate on
the ingratitude of man to man. No
one, however, need feel surprised at bis
defeat for the circuit judgeship. His
action on his ever memorable returning
board satisfied even his friends of his
unfitness for judicial position. The
verdict of the legislature will bs ap-
proved by tue public.

The election of Judge w. +. Black.
man, of Rapides, to the circuit judge.
ship of this circuit is very gratifying te
the DEMOCRAT and its friends here
The Judge was not only an original
supporter of Gov. McEnery but a
staunch believer in the wisdom of ac-
cepting the lottery proposition, and it
was owing principally to the latter fact
that he failed to he reelected to the
district bench which he had graced for
years, aud for which by his learning,
sterling integrity aud incorruptibility
he was so cminentIy qualified. Had he
sacrificed his conv ictions and played
the toady and the sycophant to the un~
reasoning rabble, he would have had no
trouble in retaining his seat Oh the dis
trict bench; but his native honesty
rebelled against such contemplate
course and cherishing his convictions
as objects too precious for barter or
sale, lie went manfully forward, turning
neither to the right Dor to the left,
though conscious that he was marching
squarely into the jaws Of defeat. The
sequel is another illustration of the
fact that honesty is the best policy
