BseUem i Ts**4aj, DteCtabre 18, 1871 Ttie Siprtmr Court of Oconto Once More. In oar last article upon thin eabjeot, wc indicated • parpocc to recur to it ■gain, nod ecpecislty in nforeaoc to the proper mode of fUling wcanciea os they ooour upon the Bench. Thie higheit of onr Judicial Tribunal*, important at all time*, it rendered vitally *o by the praaent ■trugglo which ia going on between Law and Order on the one aide, and Usurpation, Lawlessness nod Patdfe Plunder on the other. If the Bu preuM Court ihaU be compoaed of Judge* whoa* ability, integrity and courage will command the reapeot and confidence of the oountry, all may yet bn well If the Legislature can, without delay, give na auoh Judge* in a perfectly legal tarry, and ahall fail In do so, they will be held re- apoaaible tor all tha incalculable aril oon aeqnenoes of the failure. The critda la dangorona only aa there i* danger that it may n<rt be wiaely met; and in erary criaia of danger, the higbeat courage ia. tha higheit wisdom. The oooree of safety ia to follow, nnfliaobing. ly, wherever duly and lave ahall point the way. In addition to what we have heretofore eahl, and on farther inveetigation of the ■nhjaet under aonaideration, we affirm that there are now two vacancies on the Supreme Bench, and that it ia the duty of tha Q aerral da—My, under the law, to flit fhemjrith man of their own ohoioe. Ona of tEeae vacancies ooonrrad by the reaignatlon of JudgoMoOay (who reeign- ed to get inoreaaod pay noder a new ap- pointment), and waa reappoint id by Gov ernor Bullock, with the adviee and oos- aent of tho Senate. We hold that thia reappointment expired at the meeting of the preaont General Aucmhly; for the advice and eonaent of the Senate has nothing to ilo with filling vacancies on the Suprome Court Bonoh, aa we have con- clnaivoly shown; and tho Governor's ap pointment for that vacancy lasted, under the law, only till the moating of the pres ent General Assembly, whoae doty it now ia to flit the nnexpired term by an elec tion. The other of these vacancies oooerred by tha resignation of Jndge Brown. He resigned twico: tha first time, like Judge MoCay, to get increased pay under a new appointment; and the second time, to take charge of the State Road under the Lease. Attar his aaoond resignation (which ooourred whan the General Assembly was not in session), Judge Loohrano waa appointed in hia place by Governor Bul- lock; and this appointment, like the reap pointment of Julgu MoOay, expired, taufar the law, at tha meeting of the pres- eat General Assembly. Tbe oirourostanoe that Judge MoOay'a reappointment was made with the advioo and oonaentof the Senate, and that Judge Lochrane'* appointment wswnot so made, cann t make the slightest difference be tween the two oaaoa. It ia certain that both theae offices were vaoant, whatever they may bs now; and we eay that they are both vacant now, became the unex pired terms have never been filled in the mode required by law. Onr argument, in onr iaeue of the 39th ulL, aa applied to Judge Loohrane, ia equally apptiaahla to that of Judge Mo- Oay. It has bot been answered—we are bold to say it will not be. The objeo- taoaa which were made to it, by our oo- leaaporertea, tke Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, and our neighbor the Constitu tion, ia their iaeuee of the 3d inat, and to which wa replied briefly on the 6th, are founded on obvious inattention to the very terms which they quote from tho Constitution of the State, and from the Code, and upon a vital mistake offset. They both fall into the same error of faat, m in stating that section 303 of the Code, in relation to filling vaoanoiea, eo far aa eoaoeraa the Supreme Court Bench, west into operation under a Constitution which made election by the General As sembly the mode of filling whole or eo tire tanas of thaw offices. On the con trary, the (.very reveree of thia ia true.— The Oede swat into operation under the Ooootitotowof 1861; and that Oonstitn tie* sad the present on* are identiad, not only ns to the,mode of appointing Supreme Court Judges, fail entire town, tort-aim m to the aftde of —dtatef aaeaa'u, with tha tangle excep- .tjota that the Couatitutieu o'. 1861 re quired the appointment for whole terms, to be Bade with tbs advice and oonsent ft "twolhtnh at Be Senate,» instead of, frith the advice and consent of a bare majority of the Senate. Tbe fact, when worracUy stated, throw* a flood of light on Be question under consideration.— Onr eotomporarie* have probably mista ken the intervening Constitution of 18CS, for that of 1861. They both maintaio that Section 202 of the Code is inconsis tent with the present Constitution, which provides that Judges of tba Supreme Court "shall ba appointed by the Gov ernor, with the advice and consent of the Senate." If *o, it was equally incon sistent with tho Constitution of 1861, which provided that Judges of tho Su premo Court should bo "appointed by tbe Governor, with the advice and eonaent of two-thirds of tbe Senate 1” Bat where, ae we sake 1, in onr article of the 6th inat, ia the slightest inconsis tency between the language of the Code, aad either the Constitution of 1861 or tbe present one of 1868 7 Thie provis ion, in both of tbe Constitutions, re lates tolely to original appointments, or those for whole and entire terms. Close attention to the language will show, that if it relate* to the filling of vacancies, then we bare tha vary inconvenience, not to a*y calamity, which is most eno- neonaly charged aa a eonsequanoe of our construction; for, in the event of two vacancies occurring in the recce* of the Legtalatnre, we should moat dearly be without a court: in other words, a vacancy ean never ba filled in a reeea* of tho Leg islature, They say that baoaoae of this provision the appointment must be made by the Governor in all cates, whether it be for a whole term or only for a vacancy. Our neighbor of the Conctitution, puts it thus: "It ia aa if the Constitution had said, no man shall be Judge unless he is appointed by the Governor.” Why lay so much stress on the Gover nor, and none at all an "the advice and oonsent of the Senate 7 ” Why not equally well say—“It ia aa if the Consti tution had said, no man ahall be Jndge unless hs is appointed with the advice and consent of the Senate f" Would this provision be any more violated by an election than by an ap pointment without the advice and consent of the Senate? If this provision pro hibits tho filling of a vacancy by eleotion of the General Assembly, does it not equally prohibit the filling of a vacancy by appointment of tbe Governor without the advice and consent of the Senate? With that view, has Jndge Lochrane any rightful olaim to the office whatever? Ia he not upon tbe Bench without any rightful authority ? Is there any possi ble escape from thia reasoning, if the as sumption of onr neighbor be correct? We agree with both of onr cotempo- rariee, that the appointment of Jndge Lochrane waa legal when made, bnt not on their views of the Constitution. It was legal only because tbe particular pro vision of the Constitution now under consideration—that on which they rely for the legality of his appointment—has no sort of application to the filling qf va cancies, or the circumstances under which he did come rightfully into office. He came in under another clause which provides for filling vacancies. Let u* now put another test of the alleged inconsistency between the Code and the Constitution. When are two things inconsistent It is when both of them cannot sUmil together; when both cannot be true. If the Constitution, after saying that the Judges of the Supreme Court ahall be appointed by tbe Gover nor, with the adveie and consent of the Senate, had added, “but vacancies may be filled by election ot tbe General As sembly,'' would it have occurred to any body that there was any inconsistency be tween the two things ? If both con stand together, and have fall effect io the Con stitution, why osnnot both stand together and have fall effeot, one being in the Constitution and tho other in a Stat ute 1 If there is oo nflict or iuoonsisten- oy between the two things, is that con flict or inoonaistenoy any the less intense or oouapiouous by placing the two conflict ing things in immediate proximity with each other io the same instrument? It they were so pltoed, would not the meaning of the whole plainly be that the appointment by the Gov- with tha advioe and oonsent of the Senate, waa applicable only to original appointments, or those for whole terms; and that election by the General Assembly was applicable to tbe filling of vacancies ? Is it not equally clear that the Constitution, as it now stands, pro- vide* one mode for filling whole terms, and another mode for filling vacaucies, or parts of terms ? Wlmt effect is to be given to that other provision of the Constitution, which de clares that, "When any offloe shall be- oorne vacant by death, resignation, or otherwise, the Governor,”|(not with, but without, tho adviee and consent of the Senate,) "shall have power to fill such vtoauoy, unless otherwise provided by law?” Is it possible that any ona will maintain that this provision has uo application to a Judge of the Supreme Court, because a different mode of appointing Judges of the Supreme Courtis provided in another part of tbe Constitution ? Then, can it be applicable to County Officers, who, by the express terms of the Constitution, are to be elected by the People ? If not to such officers as these Judges, and others, then to whom eon this pro vision hsve any application at all ? It it ia applicable to vacancies in any offioes whatever, than why ia it not equally ap plicable to vacancies ia the Bnpreme Court ? Shall we be told that where election by As people is tbe mode prescribed by Be Constitution for fllliog whole terms, ca- canciee may be filled by the Governor, if then ia no provision by law tot filling them, aad may be filled according to Ae provision qf law, when there is such pro vision; but that when appointment by the Governor, with the advice and con sent of tha Senate, is toe mode pre scribed by Be Oooetitukion for filling whole term*, vacancies can not be filled by Be Governor, if Ben ia so provision otherwise by law, and can not be filled in accordance with the provision by law, it there is inch a provision ? Can further argument be needed to show that in the case of Judge* who are ap pointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, just aa in the ease of County Officers who are elected by the people, the mode of appointment or election specified in the Constitution, ia sppiicable to whole terms, while vacan cies are to be filled by the Governor, if there is no provision by law for filling them, and to be filled according to the provisions qf law, where any such law ex ists? When there is no provision of law on tbo subject, then appointment by tbe Governor alone, without any concurrence of tbe Sonata, is tbe sole mode, ot AH' ig vacancies on tbe Bench, and whan there is provision of law to meet tbe then that is the sofa mods. With onr existing provision qf law for filling vacancies in the Suprems Court, a Judge appointed for a vacancy by the Governor, with the advice and eonaent of the Senate, would be, or rather fa, (for we have the actual ease) aa unconatitu ttonal Judge, just as another elected for a whole term by Ba General Assembly would be an nnoonstitntioDsl Judge. On the other band, two Judge* elected by the General Assembly to fill vacancies would be aa much constitutional Judges as another is, who waa appointed for a whole term bp tbe Governor, with tbe ad visa and oonsent of the Senate. The door ia open. The duty is plain. If the Legislature shall refuse to dis charge that doty, and throw away the present opportnnity to inaugurate so great a reformation in the reforma tion of Justice, they will make them- selves largely responsible for the evils and wrongs which most ever attend the official abuse and perversion of the laws among a free people. We ore for law and order in all things. Even in righting the great wrongs heaped upon us, and in rescuing onr State from the hands of tbe spoilers and plunderers who have trampled upon our liberties, and devoured our substance, we are for resorting solely to the instrumentali ties of the organio law, aa they them selves made it They overturned onr entire system of State Government—Ex ecutive, Legislative, and Judicial Depart ments—by open nsurpation—backed with bayonets. Wo propose to restore peace, qniet, law, order, and the right ful administration of Justrice through the primary medium of ballots alone. These are sufficient tot onr ultimate riddance from the terrible misrule under wbioh we have suffered, if we shall bnt prove true to principle in the maintenance ot right These dearly legal and constitutional instru mentalities are weapons which no people who are fit to be free, will fail or refuse to wield for their protection and security, whenever and wherever oooeaion calls for their nse. It wa* by resort* of this character, with an unfaltering firmness, an patient forbeamnoe, unsurpassed in history, that the Legislative Department of the State Government has been [rescued at the polls, and that, too, through the tribula tion of the most iniquitous dection law ever oonoocted by wicked Rulers for tbe perpetuation of'their ill-gotten power. The rescue of this Department is, of it self, likely soon to secure that of tbe Executive also; for the crimes ot the into incumbent of tbe Gubernatorial Chair were so uutnor ius, so great, so fla- grant, that, by self-cuufession, his only safety from condemnation and punish ment lay in flight and escape from all investigation into his official conduct by tbo true Representatives of tbe people. It is Only by oontinned like resorts on the part of the people, and their Repre sentatives, that the good old State, under tbe Providenoe of God,[will, ere long, be, in like manner, completely disenthralled and redeemed in every Department of her Public Affairs. The people have done their part tbua far. Will tbeir Represen tatives do theirs with equal nerve, integ rity aad Patriotism ? A. H. 8. The Democratic Nominee for Gowernor. The Hon. James M. Smith of Musco gee, Speaker of the House of Represents tires, was yesterday nominated by accla mation os the Democratic candidate for Governor. He was born in the county of Twiggs, of honest and poor parents. At an early age hia father removed to Culloden, in Monroe county, where the subject of this notice obtained a limited education at the village school. At ail spare times, however, he devoted himself to stndy, and read everything within his reach.— He took part in tho village debating society, ond his gifts as a speaker were so striking, though a mare boy, as to at tract the attention of his neighbors, who urged him to read law and apply for ad mission to the bar. This lie did, and entered the law office of the Hon. I* T. Doyle, then of Onlloden, bat now a resi dent of Griffin. Mr. Smith was soon admitted to prac tice, and in m short time obtained con siderable business. He subsequently re moved to the adjoining county of Upson, and soon rose to distinction in all the countie* of tho Flint Cironit It should be stated that daring these yean he was a doss student, and that he did not confine his reading to the law; but extended it to all branches of uaef ul knowledge, and ia now one of the best in formed men in the State of Georgia. The county and Oougreosiunai District in whieh he lived wan strongly Whig, and though hs was more than onoe called upon to lead a forlorn hope in the Con- grsaaioaal con testa, he was never sleeted. Mr. Smith was opposed to the seces sion movement; but the war cams aad he oast hia lot with his friends and neigh- bore, aad ted the old Thirteenth regiment in the battle* around Richmond in 1863. Ha waa diaahlad ia tha fight, bat cob tin ned to lead hia regiment until after the battle of Gettysburg. At the next election of members to the Confederate Congress, he waa chosen by a large majority, and remained at hia post until the dose of the straggle. Upon the cessation of hostilities, he resumed the praotioe ot his profession, and in ISC7 went to Columbus, where he now reride*. At the State election last winter, Mr. Smith was elected by a large majority amember of the Legislature, though much opposed to entering upon public life. Upon tbe assembling of tbe Legislature, be vus made Speaker of tbe House, and yesterday be was nominated as tbe Democratic Candidate for Gov ernor. Mr. Smith ie in the prime of life, a man of commanding person, a forcible speaker, of robust honesty tad devotion to principle, conservative in his senti ments, and a great favorite among the people from whoae vigorous loins he sprang. He is somewhat By among strangers, and baa no taste for public life; bnt the people have forced him out, and wa trust and believe he will soon be Governor at Georgia. )• The Supreme Court. The Savannah Republican, ot the 3d insb, copies in fail, onr first article an the Chief Justiceship, and tolly indors es onr statement that than is legally no each officer a* Chief Jnstiee in Georgia. That paper also gives onr vie** its un qualified indorsement After quoting the 203d Section of the Code, which pro vides that the Governor shall make ap pointments to fill vacancies, until the next meeting of the General Assembly, tbe Editor says: It may ne objected by some who have not before read this law, and its connec tions, that it applies only to cases of va cancy where the original election wa* vested in the General Assembly, and that, aa the creation of Jndge* of the Supreme Court ia vested by the Constitu tion exclusively in the Governor and Sen ate, any vaoancy in tbeir body most of necessity be filled by the original ap pointing power—that the General As sembly, wbioh, under the Constitution, hod no part in the election of Supreme Judges for the full term, eould not fill a vaoancy in their body under a general law. This objection ooourred to our mind on reading tbe argument of Mr. Stephens, bnt upon a careful examine- tion of the law and its context, we think Mr. Stephens is certainly correct. In fact, all ground for doubt is removed, for tbe section quoted above appears in Article I of Chapter II of the Code, which treats exclusively of "The Su preme Court and its Judges,” and con, by no possibility be construed as re ferring to any other official of the State. It ia directly and exclusively ap plied to vacancies on the Supreme Bench, and in language unmistakable gives the filling of unexpired terms to the Qeneral Assembly, without motion, nomination or any other notion on the part of the Gov ernor. They have exolnaive oontrol of the question, and by resolution ean fill the precast vacancy by eleotion on any day the two Houses may appoint for that purpose. We think this too clear to ad mit ot a donbt; and we agree with Mr. Stephens that the Legislature should forthwith perform tbe duty imposed up on it by the law. The language of tbe law is net only plain, bnt imperative, al lowing no discretion. The Governor's appointment shall only last "until the next meeting of the General Assembly, who shall elect some one lot the nnex pired term.” Au election is made their plain duty, and they oauuot rightfully omit it if they would. But, it may be contended, as a color of argument against this conclusion, that tbe section of the Code imposing thia duty upon the General Assembly, ante dates the present Couatitutieu, and ia but part of the old system wbioh required the Judges to be elecred by tbe two Houses in joint convention, and therefore cannot apply in tbe present condition of affairs, where the Governor and Senate consti tute the appointing power. Thia argu ment might have some placsibUity, but for tba neutralising foot that the Code, aa it existed before reconstruction, ha* been adopted by a Legislature elected under the new Oon*titation,and is, there fore, se binding aa any other law of tbe State. No provision has been made for tiling vaeanoieson tbe Supreme Bench un der the new mods of appointment; there fore the law applicable to the old mode most still obtain until formally repealed and another substituted which will be more consistent with the present const! rational plan for original appointments.

Elbebton, Ga., Dee. 4, 1871. Editors Daily Sun: Tbe people of old Elbert, Hart, and Franklin, have beeun to make efforts to have a Railroad built from Blbsrtou to intersect the Air-Line Railroad. The prospect for a large landed sub scription seems to be very flattering. Onr plan ia to aaonre all tbe subscription for stock by bonds for titles to real estate. When the road in completed, tha land to be estimati 1 at its present value, Xfc expect to use these land bonds as collat eral security to the bonds of the compa ny, believing that Bey will bebettertban State aid bond*. With energy on onr part, and encouragement from Atlanta and Air-Line Railroad, we expect to bs able to raise the land subscription to from one hundred to oue hundred and fifty thousand acres. This, at $3 per sore, will realise from five to seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
