We allude, in tiie beading ubove, to the question of filling vacancies on the Bench at the Supreme Court in this State; and agate call tbs attention of the Legisla ture, soon to be assembled, to the subject. We maintain that, as the law nou> exists, under the Constitution, vacancies on the Supreme Court Benoh can be filled only by election by the General Asmobly. We have no intention or disposition at this time, to go over the argument hereto, fore submitted on this matter; but will, at present, barely call attention to all the pro visions of theCongashon and existing laws, in relation to it—italicizing such parts as bear directly Upon the point in hand) Under the head of the Judiciary, Article V, Section S—we find this provision of the OmMAidum ; " The Supreme “Court shall consist of three Judges, two '■ of whom ah all constitute e quorum. “ When s majority of the Jadgnssre dis- •i qualified from deriding any case, by “interestor otherwise, the Governor shall “ designate certain Judges of the “ Superior Ooarta to ait iu their stead. “At the first appointment ot Judges of “the Sumpme Court, under this Const!- “tutioa^Re shell be appotniedrUM four ‘jfeery one fotfdMhtJbears, <me ^r “t#elA .jrrajJ; tiff ® jubeequeot op- "poiJmbnU,%eospl to Jiff unexpired terms, “■ball be for tbs term of twi Under seme head in the Article C, Section 9, we fiu4 tflrtli “The Judges of the Supreme, and Su- “perior Courts, tbs Attorney-General, "Sollciton-General, and tha District “Judges, and Attorneys, shall be ap- “pointed by the Governor, with the athioe "and content of the Senate, and shall be "removable by the Governor on the ad- “dresa of two-thirds of etch brauch of “the General Assembly, or by impcach- “meni.and conviction thereon.” These olauaee clearly refer to original appointments, or the manner in wbioh full term* ol these offices ars to be filled; for under the heed of Executive, in Ar ticle 4, Section 2. Clause 3, wo find this provision: “When any office ahall become nuxml “by death, resignation er otherwise, the “Governor shall have power to fill inch "vacancy, unlosS otherwise provided by law; “end persons so appointed shall eoutinne “in offioe until a suoocssor is appointed “agreeably to the mode pointed out by "this Constitution, or by hue in punu- "ance there-f." From these clauses of the Consti tution, we repeat, it is clear that the Constitution bos provided a spe cific uniform mode for making original appointments, or filling whole terms of these offices, while it only partly provides tor filing vacancies x>t unexpircil terms iu then), anil lost es that whole sub- jnct, including the partial provision in reference to It, to the regulations of law. The power ia given to the Governor to fit these unexpired terms himsef, without "tko advice and consent of the Senate,” "unices otherwise provided by law." The mode and manner, therefore, tor filing ratnnvks, are left to the law and the law-making power. On this point there cau be no doubt. So much for the Constitutional provisions. Now, at the time this Constitution was adopted, iu 18G8, the existing law on the subject, to be fouud iu the Code, Section 902, anil wliiab was siliruied by the Cbnslilution, (unless inconsistrnl with it), was, and la, in these words: “In ease of avacancy from any rails*',” (referring specially to the Supreme Court Bench) “the Uoviruor shall appoint and “oounnissigu some qualified person to “supply it until the next meeting of the > “General Assembly, who shall dm some “one for the mexpireii term. If there- “caucy occurs during the session of tha General Assembly, there shall ba no tip “pohdmnii t but if it closes without .an “election, the Governor shall appoint tome “person to hold the offico until the action "of the General Assembly. Can any one maintain for a moment that tlquyi jp auj thing inconsistent in this provision if law with the Constitution as it stands 1 Is it not perfectly clear that, by tfie Constitution, tire msuoer of filing vacan cies is left to be regulated by law, except that in the absence ot action on the sub ject by the Legislature, or in the absence of low on it, the Governor is clothed with power to fit vacancies himself, without “the advioe and consented the Senate?” Is it not e<) oally clear that, when the case is folly provided for by law, that the law, as ft exists, and until it ia properly changed, shell be conformed to? We think moat clearly an. We are, as we hare repeatedly said, for law and or der m all things; and we insist that than is but one of two things for the General Assembly to do on this subject at their approaching session. One of these is, to pfooced, under Misting law, to fill whatever vacan cy exists on the Supremo Court Bawds by steetion. If this be not done, the only alternative is, to pans an act ehoagiag the existing where, on able article, token from the Augusts (Go.) Chronicle and Sentinel, over the signature of Hancock. The Chronicle and Sentinel says it is from the pen of one ot the ablest lawyers of the State.

Tbe Mode of Filling Vacancies on tbe Bench of the Supreme Court. To Out Editors <f the Chronicle and Senti- nd: Gentlemen—The invitation wbioh yon extended to members of the legal profes sion s few days sgo induces me to submit some views on the above stated subject, in reply to those which have been ad vanced by yourselves, by the Atlanta Constitution, and by your correspondent "Junius.” In the first place, then, how is it that you now consider au election by the General Assembly to be an nnconstita- tional mode of filling vacancies on the Supreme Bench, while In your^rsf article on this sabjeet you suggested that tbe Legislature ahould pass a law to have these vacancies filled liy election of tbe Senate ? Is an election by the General Asaembly open to any objection which ia not equally applicable to unjeleotion by the Senate ? The only objection mode by yoa ia that ai>poinltneni is the only constitutional mode for filling either whole terms or vacancies. This objec tion is as fatal to an election by the Sen ate as to an electtomby the ~ tilled fo tbe la. to tVexiatini mp, lujm is it thut you, rdtTtfoinv' &nd U^AUalU Constitu tion, *11 agree, os mdu do ogr cjC th*t IjM •iotment oyfAgeJjoqhPBMQM dbir w - nstituj *1 very time, althi t tbe “advioe and ol the tiefCto,” Budget affirm, affirm, that an election by the General Assembly would be unconstitutional be cause the Constitution, in section IX, article 6, requires Judges of the Supreme Court to be appointed **iciih tbe advice and consent of the Senate ?” You say this means all Judges, as well as those who go in lor vacancies or frac'ional terms us those who go in for whole terms. Then it means Jutbje Jsodtraac, and ren ders his appointment unconstitutional, since it was not made with, but teas made without "the advice and consent of the Senate.” To maintain that his appoint ment was consistent with this section of the Constitution, you are obliged to admit, just what I affirm, thut this section has no application to vacancies, but is con fined to appointments for whole terms. The only way in which you accomplish the feat of milking this section contlemi. an election by tho General Assembly, without, at the same time, condemning the appointment of Judgo Lochrano, is by tamstiog on that part of it which re quires the Judges tube appointed, ami ignoring that other equally clear and im portant part which fives the mode of the appointment, by requiring it to be made "with tho advice and consent of the Sen ate. 99 “Junius” speaks of appointments under this section as things which are to be made "by tho Governor, subject to the consent of the Senate.” I take this to be a timid intimation that the appoint ment takes effect os soou as it is made by tho Governor, and lasts till it is rejected by the Senate. Such a construction gross ly violates both the language and the plain meaning of tho Constitution.— There is a yory similcr provision in tho Constitution of the United States, iu re lation to the making of treaties and the appointmeut of Ambassadors uud Judges of the Supremo Court. Did anybody over dream that a treaty made by the President could take effect without the ad vice and consent of two-thirds of the Senate? This section IX., article V, of our 8tate Constitution, like the similar one in the Constitution of the United States, is too plain tq leave rqom for even plausible mis construction. It does not require tbe appointment of Judges any more clearly than it points out the mw/e of the ap pointment by requiring it to be made "by the Governor, with the advice <tud consent iff the Senate." The very iirst step in making the appointment is tbe Gov ernor’s submission of it to tho Senate. advice and consent 0/ the Senate. The other—for filling vacancies—is alterna tive. It is appointment by the Governor without the advioe and consent of the Senate in one event, that is to say, where there is not any provision of law regula ting the matter. In the other event, that is to say, where there is provision of law regulating the matter, Uien the mode is thut whioh is prescribed in such provis ion of law, whatever that mode may be. This, also, may be appointment by the Governor without tire advice or consent of the Senate, either for a part or for the whole of the vacancy: it might be appointment by the President of the Senate, or by the other Judges; or it might be election by the Semite or by the House of Hepresenta- tiyes, or by the General Assembly; or it might be any other mode. Undei the pro vision of law as it existed when the Con stitution was adopted and os it was then adopted by the Constitution itself, and as it still exists, the mode was, and still is, appointment by tbe Governor, (withont the advice or consent of the Senate) whenever the vacancy oocnrs, as it did in the case of Judge Brown during a recess x>t the Legislature; the appointment ' o last till the meeting of the General As sembly, and the remainder of the unex pired term to be then filled by election of the General Assembly. This is my con struction of paragraph IV, section II, ar ticle 4—the only pari if the Constitution which provides or authorize* tha Legis lature to provide by law, for filling va cancies on the Supreme Bench. By virtue of this paragraph the existing provision by law is the sole rule of the case, and must be carried out in all its parts, unless it iu inconsistent with other portions of the Constitution. I have already shown that it is not inconsistent with that other por tion which prescribes a mode for filling* whole terms. I will now show that it is not immnsistent with section II, article 5, w§jcb I alluded a little while ago. If must be particularly noted that both of the alternative modes for filling vacan cies ap pointment by the Governor, where e is no proviaon by law, an ointment still by the Uov» rnor, (to uutil the next meeting of the Legis lature) under the provision of law as it ecisled when the Constitution was made— involve appointment as a mode of filling, or partly ftiliug vacancies. How consis tent with all this it was that tbe framers of tho* Constitution, when they were fixing twelve years us the term for alt appointments after the first, should except, just as they did, except appoitUmenls to fill vacancies ! for appoiu tmeuts were alfcerna tive modes of filling vacancies, while at the same time there well might be,uud tually was another mode under the law. When they w ere using such a brood phrase as all subsequent appointments, it was very prudent, if not absolutely necessary, to except such appointments as might be made to fill vacancies, under either of the alternative modes for filling vacancies unless they had intenJed, as they have taken pains to say they did not intend, that these appointments for vacancies should, like all subsequent appointments for re gnlar terms, lost twelve years. This is just what they did ; nothing more—nothing leas. Instead of incan Histency, there is consistency and sym metry. The different parts of tbe Con stitution, and the provision by law for filling vacancies by virture of one of those parts, do but form but one harmo uious, consistent and symmetrical whole.

These must be filled by ap pointment, and that appointment cau only be made "with the advice and con sent of tho Senate.’’ This seetiou, if it pnwros anything for you, proves too much, and upsets your whole theory about va- oanoies. But another part of the Constitution is invoked; the last clau3o of parogrHph I, section II, article in these words— "but all subsequent appointments e.r- cejit to HU unaxpii'+t terms, shall be for the term of twelvo years.” Tbe Atlauta Constitution ssys this means "except ap pointments to fill unexpired terms.” Granted. I admit that to be the mean log. He then drew, the amcimiim that vaoaucioe or unexpirod terms can l>e filled only by appointment. A uontc/uilur, it ikon ever waa one. To bo aure, re cencies may bo filled by appointment, bat how doe. it follow that they cau be filled only by appointment? The truth ia they are to be filled ia one of the two alternative ways, wbioh the Constitution prescribe, for filling vacancies Appoint ment forms a port in both of these alter native inodes; and, therefore, such ap pointments ss might be made to fill va cancies, had to be exoepted, when all appointments after the fint were declared to be for twelve years. There is no room for two opinions about tho meaning of these words, when they are closely and fsirly considered in connection with their immediate context The leading idea ol tha paragraph, relates to the length o. terms, and not to the mod. of tilting themt Thu part of tha ^institution has intention to pohrt ont a mode filling either whole terms or fractional tanas. Any light which is here shed on the question as to the mode of filling terms, is merely incuteulU, or more prop erly, axidmltd, and it cannot possibly do ntero than indicate what the framers of the Conatitalioa thought they had done in those other parts which ilo provide the modm in which terms are to be filled. There ere two such other porta—section IX, article 5, which provides one mode for filling whole terms, and paragraph IV, section II, article 4, which provides a * llfercnl mode for filling mcancia. One ot these modes—that for filling whole terms—is uniform and unvarying. It is Notice to Contractors! ENLARGEMENT OF THE AUGUSTA CANAL.
