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.
The Columbus Sun ot the 3d instant
gives full iudoraement to tbe view* to)
have presented, and make* these perti
uent remarks
An intelligent, virtuous and independ
ent judiciary ia the firmest bulwark of
freedom. There ia always hope for a
country so long aa the ermine of onr
judge* is pure and ■ potless. A country
like ours, rich in resources, may flourish
in spite of executive and legislative cor.
motions, but an ignorant and dishonest

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.
If the city of Atlanta aad tho Air-Line
Railroad will join us, we donbt not that
this read an be built ia a short time,
and will baoi benefit to |all parties con-
