The Senate committee on counties.

man, held the most exciting meeting of
the session last afternoon on the bin to
provide four additional commissioners
for. Sampson county. John D. Kerr.
Esq, of Clinton. chairman of the Dem

ty, urged the passage of the bill and a
petition from nearly 200 citizens to the
same affect was read. MIR. Kerr recit-
ed incidents Of the partisan acts of the
commissioners, especially with reference
to juries and schools. Two Populists.
Messrs. Owen and Duncan, opposed the
bill. Mr. Kerr had expressed his views
very plainly and owen launched out i'm n
vile denunciation of some of the Demo-
Gratis Of the county until the limit of en-
durance was reached
Instead of discussing the measure he
indulged i'm the bitterest abuse and
Senator Morrison finally rose exclaim-
ing: Mr.. Chairman, have heard just as
much of this as l care to. / didn't like
all the previous talks, but you (Owen)

The chairman told Mr.. Owen that he
must desist from such a speech and adj
dress himself to the bill before the
committee. Mr.. B. +. Johnson, Dem

said that he thought the bill bad policy.
After spending three hours over the bin

criminal: so a number of rulings con-
trary to law, which had the community
to believe that the judge acts contrary
TO law. that he considers only his own
will, is dangerous to society. by dimin-
ishing respect for justice and mischiey-
ously affecting the rights of the parties
and should render him liable TO i'm
peachment.
After reading this Mr.. Rountree con-
tinued:
1T is also said with great confidence
that judge cannot be impeached for
merely declaring an act unconstitu-
tional, while this is at least doubtful.
Foster the latest and an admirable
writer on the Constitution says, citing
many authorities:
TT does not consist in an error in
Judgment made in good faith in the de-
cision of doubtful question of law, ex-
cept perhaps in the case of a violation
Of the constitution
In case decided by the Supreme
court of Louisiana, reported in As Louis
lana Annual at page 1855, State VS..
SHERIFF, it is said:
The great weight of authority is
that an officer may be Impeached While
in office for acts committed in a prior
term
There is no necessity in law for prey
ing corruDtion on the part OF the ;LGge,
before impeachment. In a former consti-
tuition Of the State il is specifically laid
down that q Judge may be impeacned sor
wiiful violation of the constitution Our
present constitution, like the constitution
of the United States, does not define what
are impeachable crimes, but leaves it tC
the common law which we derived from
England. In The Code however. it is
expressly declared that impeachment lies
for corruption or misconduct in office.
This conclusively shows that corruption
is not necessary.
Still another objection referred to by
Mr. Rountree was that Judge FurcheS
could not now be impeached because he
had resigned the office he held when the
act was committed and accepted another
This objection Mr.. Rountree considered
hardly worth serious refutation. In this
connection he cited the Belknap case, an(
added:
THAT would be bad form of govern
ment in which an unfaithful officer coult
| escape responsibility for his misdeed'
by running away from the charges agains

impeachment and the punishment pre-
scribed He went ON to say:
Some have taken the ground that ii is
criminal proceeding whose punishment
is of such awful solemnlty that it ought
never TO be invoked. Others hold that
1t is a mere inquest of office. l will not
discuss these views. but will merely stop
to say that in my opinion it is method
devised in constitutional governments by
which the representatives of the people
may remove unfaithful officials when
their conduct is prejudicial to the public
welfare.
1T has been argued to you that these
Judges must not only be guilty of inten-
tional violation of the Constitution. but
that such violation must have been COM
mitted with a corrupt motive. Without
stopping TO inquire what is meant by
corrupt motive in this connection, | will
say that ii what is ordinarily termed
corruption Is meant, that position is
unsustained by authority"
"A distinguished writer in the Ameri-
can Law Review, writing of impeach-
ment says:
9 There is one class of cases in re-
gard to which il is much more difficult
to lay down rule. that is, where the
acts of the Judge are discretionary, or
where he must act on his own interpre-
tation of the law In these cases it
must be shown that the judge inten-
tionally acted contrary to the law; that
he knowingly violated the rights OF the
parties. but il is not necessary, we
think, to show partial or corruptiNe
motive. II his motive be merely spite
against party or his attorney. an in

PRESIDENT LINooLRs PRIVATE oAR.
a Nas'OuAl Relic which /. F.., oolnr
% RuIn.

A NatioaAl Relic which Il Fast ooinE
% RuIn.
In the switch yards OF the Union
Pacific railway at Omaha, standing in
the open air and rapidly going 10 de-
cay Is Lincoln's private car, a national
relic, which, says the illustrated Rec
ORD, should have been preserved for all
time. On the contrary It is all but
forgotten and gets no more notice than
the junk Of the railroad scrap pile.
The old relic is ~ feet long and
So feet wide. II was built at the Unit
ed States military car shops at Alex
andrta, Va, during the latter part OF
the war and was used by the emanci-
pator on his visits 70 many points dur
ing the tFOu6led-filled times Of the civ
ie strife. No one 20 look at the bat
tered old hulk now would recognize in
II what was the marvel OF elegance
among early railroad equipment.
Originally there was but one en-
trance to the car, door in the cor
ner Of one end on one side. Entrance
to the then separate rooms was had
from this passagewsy. The rear room
was larger than the others, and was
used by President Lincoln for an Of
nee and study, and also as a reception
room. IN which he received the gen
erals OF the army. Il is safe to say
that in tails compartment Mr.. Lincoln
hastily wrote the notes for his famous
speech at the field OF Gettysburg. At
any rate. the President occupied the
coach on his trip to Gettysburg on that
occasion.
The old, battered and ill-looking
hulk also carried President Lincoln's
remains from Washington to SPRING
field, III. Il was in this car that the
body lay during that memorable jour
ney which lasted from April 81 to May
3, 1865. For some time after this the
car was placed in service and was used
as a directors car, but fits great weigh.
caused by the armOr plate, with which
1t was protected, made it Objectionable
and 1t was removed to a shed in the
yards at Omaha. There it stood for
years. but, one by one, the boards
OF the covering place vanished and to-
day, as above stated, the car is ex-
posed to all sorts Of weather.
There was talk in 1898 Of inaugural
ing a movement among the cOlored
population Of the United States with
a view OF securing funds with which
to purchase the car, restore It and to
provide for it a suitable building in
Washington, where it might be pre-
served. Nothing, however. came Of the
idea.

No government, however, corrupt,
selfish, venal, sxtraYagant, and exact
ing. can bring a population 10 starva-
ton in a land like Turkey. Grape
vines run all over the houses. The
Turkish vineyards are incompatible.
The poor Turk takes little trouble
about his agricultural implements. His
pillow is much like that which Noah
must have used, for it is simply long
piece Of wood, with a yoke of oxen at
one end Of It and a single handle at
the other. With this the rayah Just
scratches the soil. The crops are usu-
ally magnificent, but the waste is i'm
mense. Thousands Of sheep flourish
on the vast pasture lands OF the wide
valleys In Turkey. Yet the people do
not eat voraciously OF animal food.
They only need little lamb or mutton
to shred into fragments. that they may
stew Il with rice into the delicious
dish called pillar" The Turks relish
their glorious watermelOns. They can
eontentedly live as approximate vege-
tarians. No nation is at so little ex-
pense for dietetic commodities.
