(Tljr Soiitljrrii Mmniip: For the Recorder. ' Judges of Superior Courts. Mr Editor : “Occasional,” the Atlan- : ta correspondent of the Telegraph & i Messenger, in his letter of March 221, ; usos the following language : “I learn that Gov.Smitb has come to the ! conclusion that the terms of the four year j ; judges do not expire until January, 1873, j aud that consequently bo has no power; of appointment, but that it will devolve ; upon the Governor to be elected next i fall. This position is correct, in my i opinion. If Bullock had not fled, we j certainly would have insisted that he i had no right to appoint judges after his j administration had been condemned by i the people. If the precedent is now set for an out-going Governor to appoint the judicial officers of the State, you will readily see that no newly elected Gov ernor, fresh from the people, will ever have the power to appoint the civil rulers of the people.

Besides its historic value, its statement of facts is especially interesting to Geor gians, and the exalted patriotism that permeates it, draws anew the popular heart to its venerated Statesman, the fa.oiite of our old mother.

Bullock was elected for four years, and three judges were appointed for four years, Are the four years of the Governor longer than the four years of the judges V As this is a question of vital import ance to our people, especially to those who are litigants in the Courts, it is well worth our time to examine the argument of “Occasional,” that we may test the correctment of his conclusion. He asks “if the term of the four year Judges ex pire iu July, doe3 not the term of the Governor himself expire also?” I an swer, clearly not; and why ? Because the Governor holds over, after his term of four years has expired, by virtue of an ordinance (passed by the Constitu tional Convention of 1868, entitled ‘‘An Ordinance to provide for the election of Civil Officers, (see pamphlet , of 1868, starvation, tion seems reached.

It is only a doiiur a head, and forty thousand dol lars would fill the bill.—Macon Tele- graph. Ot course Congress has no more right to amend the Constitution of Georgia, than the King of Dahomey has. And the attempt to procure such lawless ac tion by the wretch Whitely. at the hands of a body that ignores the rights of the States at their own pleasure, is an at f empt at moral treason, of the most infamous type. Is there no remedy i cannot a Stato protect itself against Federal enc“oachment, at least, to the extent of punishing her own citizen and representative, who seeks to humiliate, degrade aud disgrace her ? Is he not as amenable to State law as if he were not an officer of the Federal Government ? It there is no law on our Statute book, to reach his case, such a one should be pro vided by the first session of the Legisla ture. Democratic National Convention, It is understood, will assemble at St Louis, in June. Concerning its action, tbc Telegraph and Messenger, with more wisdom, than is common even to that staid and con servative journal, says : “Well, so far as we are concerned, they in »y do as they like. Lot the Northern and Western Democrats mark out the course. We are quite certaiu that Southern Democrats catronly hurt them selves and injure the common cause by attempting to shape events. The thing supremely needed by the Southern States is such a change in the National Administration as shall lift from the white race in the South the bau of Fed- eral proscription and tyranny. We „ 8e d, lo . wlt . ...looted or appointed by want such a change as will assure us the. ’ , .. r \ . ■protection of law, of which no Southern : tbe General Assembly next thereafter, white man has the smallest guaranty for confers upon that ‘‘Department” a » im* No man can assure him- plied power to appoint Judges of the Superior Courts, will not do—first, be cause there is uo provision in tbe Ordin- States, and all other officers to be elect ed, as provided in the Constitution.” What other officers are elected n uder the Constitution ? Surely not Judges of the Superior Courts, for they are “ap pointed by the Governor with the ad vice and consent of the Senate,” but Justices of tbe Peace are elected under the Constitution, hence it was necessary to prevent their election under the com prehensive language of “all other officers to be elected,” to specifically except them in the Ordinance, which was done in the latter part of tbe second section of it, thus showing that its provisions applied {exclusively to elective officers. It is true that the word “appointed,” oc curs twice in tbe second section, but when we examine the counectioo in which it is used, thus, “and the persons so elided or appointed, shall enter upon the duties of the several offices to which they have been elected," Scc , it is evi dent that the words, ‘‘elected or appoint ed,” as here used, have a reciprocal im port, and must be coustrued^wiih refer*, ence to their subject matter, to-wit: the persons so elected or appointed.” What ‘persons so elected or appointed’ ? Those before meutioued : Governor, members of the General Assembly, &c. Again, to quote from the Ordinance : “Aud shall continue in office till the regular sac cession, provided for, after the year 186S, and until successors are elected and qualified, so that said officers shall each of them hold their offices, as though they were elected on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1S68, or elected, or appointed by the General Assembly next thereafter.” As though who were elected or appointed—those same offi-ers mentioned {in tbe foregoing provisions of the Ordinance, viz: Gov ernor, members of the General Assem bly, Scz. To say that the language a week ahead, self for a week that he will not be wres ted from his family by a military raid and consigned to rot in a dungeon. At any moment Grant may proclaim martial law and put the life aud liberty of every white man at tbe extremest hazard.— Need we say, that under such circum-. stances as these, we seek first and fore most tbe most certain method of deliv erance? It will not do to fail. The first thing to be secured is the ordinary legal muniments to rights of the person, of which every white man in the South now stands divested. If we cannot hold our lives and liberty to some bet ter title thau tbe mere forbearance of a political enemy, we are not quite as well situated as a subject of the Grand* Turk. An Illinois editor thus sarcastically speaks of the marriage of a professional brother in Indiana: “He stepped upon the by menial platform, adjusting the fa tal noose, and was swung off into that unsilent bourno, whence ho can never return, save by the Indiauapoiis con necting lines,” ance for the appointment of any one to any office by the General Assembly.— On the contrary, the election therein provided for, was to be held by the peo ple for certain officers therein enumerat ed, and for tho ratification of the Con stitution aud the qualifications of voters thus prescribed, to-wit: “the qualifica tions for voters shall be the same as pre scribed by the act of Congress, known as the Sherman bill.” Again, when we scrutinize closely the verbiage of tbe Ordinance, to-wit : “as though they (Governor, See.) were elected on the Tuesday after the first Monday in No vember, 1868,” it is apparent that the language does not confer any power on the General Assembly to elect or ap*s point officers, but that it was used to de* fiue the extent of the terms of the officers aforesaid, by referring them to an ;odu* Judges of the Superior Courts ate ap'- poiuted “by the Governor with the ad vice and consent of tlie Senate.” If any power, therefore, wa9 intended to be conferred, it was not with a view to the appointment of Judges, because the pow er to appoint them is vested in the Ex ecutive and Senate, and these two De partments are not identical with "Gen eral Assembly.” These Judges, there fore, being excluded from the benefits aud provisions of the oft quoted ordin ance of the Convention, aud there being no provision in the Constitution to au thorize the extension of their terms of of office, the conclusion is inevitable that they hold for four years from the dates of their commissions, and no long er. I learn that the Judge of the Oc- inulgee Circuit was appointed on the 21st of August. 1868, but that his com mission dates from July 21st, of the same year. He was appointed by an Executive aud confirmed by a Senate, who held their offices by virtue of the | Constitution of Georgia. There was no Executive and no Senate until the adop tion aud ratification of that Constitution. The authority of the Governor to ap point, and of the Senate to confinn, ex isted, alone, by virtue of that Constitu tion ; they acted under it, and solely un der it, and nowhere does it provide for a prolongation of the Judge’s term be yond four years. He accepted office uu- j der it, and bis tenure of office, and es- j tate in office, are regulated by it. To j say that lie can hold over “until his successor is appointed and qualified,” is to evade the question. This argument might well be urged to sustain the le gality of his official acts, but should never influence a high-toned and intelli gent Executive and Senate. The tact that a Judge may hoid over and dis charge the duties of his office, will not justify the Executive and Senate in the omission of the plain duties required of them by the Constitution of the State ; nor have I any fear that they will prove this derelict ; on the contrary, my con fidence in their ability and integrity, j and that they will administer the Gov- ; ernment according to “the law of the land,” is the chief inspiration of this article. But “Occasional” says, “if the prece dent is now set for an outgoing Gover nor to appoint the judicial officers of the State, you will readily see that no new ly elected Governor, tresh from the peo ple, will ever have tho power to appoint the civil rulers cf the people. This ar gument is of no force, when applied to the judiciary. The tendency of all wise legislation has been, to make them inde pendent of tbe people. With this view their election was taken from the peo ple, aud the power to appoint them con ferred upon the Executive and the Sen ate. With this view, their terms of of fice were extended from four to eight years, and in many countries, “during good behaviour” ; and the reason of the law is as obvious as it is commendable— that we may have a pure and independ ent judiciary, free from party or politi cal influence. ‘Occasional’s’ argument— suummed up—goes rather to prove what the law should be, that what it really is. It may be a misfortune, not to have “our civil rulers fresh from the people.” but a misfortune cannot override the highest law of the land. If the Consti tution operates oppressively, let it be amended ; but so long as the law remains as it is, the plain duty of the hour is to enforce it, discarding as dangerous, a liberal construction of those dubious words, “until his successor is appointed and qualified,” for, as yet, they have no defiuite meaning, but may mean more in times of peril than their rrifcst zealous advocates imagine.

It seems that Mr. W. resided in tlie immediate vicinity of his store. On tbnrsday af ternoon a negro man giving his name as Nelsou James, came into the store and made some few purchases. Going out, he was seen no more by Mr. G. About 9 or 10 o’clock at night, some ouo called for Mr. W. to go to the store, which he of the Blood, it is founl evento exc*-ed ti.-ipations founded on its g;e tt repah’: According to the medical and ecieniidc j- ical of London and Paris, it possesses them • Powerful Tunic properties known to Jb: : I Medica. !

But of late this idea has been dissipated, and after care fully noting car toil and climate, East Tennessee has been proved to be as well adapted to tobacco culture as any State iu the Union. With this fact be fore them, it ia astonishing that more to bacco is not planted by our farmers.— With the same care and trouble in plant ing and culture a» corn, the return is four-Iold greater ;and the money is kept in the country instead of being sent out, for tobacco is now so extensively used hat the money speut for it in different forms is enormous. A few more acres on every farm would serve as a standby io case of short crops of grain, for tobac co is always cash, and good grades bring the highest market price as cer tainly as tho favorite brands of family, flour.’’ On entering the store she saw him sit ting with his head bowed forward, and askiug him what the matter was lie sim ply responded, “Nelson James.” A physician was called immediately and it was found that a heavy blow just above the temple bad fractured his skull, from which, in a short time, he expired. The house was robbed of money, and per haps, other articles. ’The negro has been arrested and confined in jail. Up on his person, when arrested, were found some bills of money which were identi fied as the same that were iu the fuonev drawer of Mr. Welborn the evening he was killed.
