THE ELECTION OF SOLICITORS.

On this page appears a communica- tion from Hon. Erie Pettus, a member of the Constitutional Convention from Limestone County, in reference to an editorial in this paper yesterday upon '"The Election of Solicitors by the Peo- ple." --... -
 MT. Pettus makes the point that The Advertised erred in stating that the majority of the Committee on Judi ciary made the report in favor of the existing system of electing Circuit So- licitors by the Legislature. Mir. Pettus is correct. 1t was the minority of the Committee which made that report. The majority, a total of IS out of the 25, recommended that all Solicitors, of circuits or smaller subdivisions, be elected by the people.
 The error of The Advertiser was in advertent and is regretted. One of the editors was present in the Convention during a short part of the discussion of the matter, and got the impression in that way.
 
 the force of the argument of yester- days comment. But that was incident al and no. of primary importance. The two main arguments advanced remain unaffected by the error. They apply whether the report for elections by the people was made by the majority of IS or the minority of :. Those arguments were the danger of making such inn portant court officers subservient to the people, and the prospective in- crease of expense of the new system. They are not weakened in any way.
 It is clear that the aim of the ma jority report, in changing the system of electing Solicitors by the Legisla- ture, was to break up the more or less admitted evil of trades and com binations of candidates before that body, by which the lawyers with the most political pull may get the posi- tions irrespective of their special quail citations for the duties of prosecuting attorney.
