PoLrr1CAL JUDGES.

ANYBODY with half an eye can see
that we have too much politics mixed
I'D with the election of our judges. Per-
haps we can settle upon no better plan
than the one now preVailing-but we can
easily agree that if this is the best
the others are very poor indeed Elec'
lions by the legislature got to be insult
ferable Trading was carried on-swap-
ping of votes was brazenly performed,
and some of the judges VINO were seated
on the oolsack-were contemplate not
only in their subservence to the people
who used them, but in their ignorance
of law. That plan beat itself it was
so promptly convicted of being an intol-
cradle method.
Some of the evils that were palpably
shown in legislative judges-have contin-
ued on, into these popular elections.
There is too much trading, too many
combines, with those who are seeking
other offices, as before stated. 1t is
glaring evil. when judges run for high
er-paid offices, without resigning the
iudeship No man should be allowed
to do it, without resigning from the
bench. II ne rs defeated-then he can
make the other fellows suffer-when
cases come before him, and in which
those who opposed hin, are asking Tor
justice.
Political judges-should las I believe)
be appointed by a political governor
one who can get some praise If he picks
out a capable judge but who will get
the blame if he falls short of his bound
en- duty-to select proper man for this
high and responsible position. Hon. A
H. Stephens used to say, that the repuo-
lie could stand until the judiciary be-
came rottne, with politics and bribery
then the crash would come.
A judge should, like Caesars wife, be
above suspicion. If Judge is some
body's useful man. on the bench, he is
not only a misfit, but unworthy to hold
