THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN
$AH’L a.CRAFTOH,
COUNTY PRINTER.
Jndgeo of the Supreme Court,
It will devolve upon the Legislature,
’shortly to convene, to elect two Judges of
the Supreme Caurt.
The qualities which are necessai} r to con
stitute a good Judge, of this august tribu
nal, so varied that they can rarely be
found united in the same individual. First
-of all, lid must be a just man; and this im
plies nmt only scrupulous honesty, but a
mipd capable of making the nicest discrim;,
ication between what is right and what is
wrong, lie has to follow the wrong doer
in nil the tortuous labiryntbs of iniquity and
condemn him. He must be a bold andin-
ccrroptib'e man. Hi* cheek must not blanch
at the threats of the violent, nor Jiis palms
itch for the gold of the opulent man. He
must be learned in all departments of the
law “for he reviews the decisions of all infe
rior tribunals; and not only learned, but have
the power to apply his knowledge, eo instan-
ti it is demanded by the exigencies of the
cases which come before him. By the pe
culiarities of our judicial system, no time is
given for lengthy investigation of authori
ties, and often none even for continuous re
flection.
There are not many men in Georgia who
possess all these qualities. Where ever they
can be found, they ought to be seized upon
bv our Legislators and invested with the er
mine of justice, Confident, that, at least,
two gentlemen reside in Western Georgia
who possess these qualities in an eminent
degree, we will not be restrained by a false
delicacy from presenting their claims to the
public. We allude, of course, to Marshal!
J.Wellborn and Henrv L. Beuning, Esqrs.
Mr. Welborn gained an enviable reputa
lion, some years ago. as Judge of the Chat
tahoochee Circuit, and has since extended
bis knowledge by foreign travel, and a par
ticipation in the complex legislation of this
great country, as Representative in Con
gress. Since his retirement from political
life, he has devoted himself to the practice
of his profession.
Mr. Benning, we believe, has never filled
official station, but has, for a number of
years, devoted himself exclusively to the
practice of his profession, with eminent suc
cess.
Both of these gentlemen have the entire
confidence of this community, and all at
tempts, here or elsewhere, to weaken their
posiiiott before tile county, are laughed at,
as the mere ebuHtions of disappointed po
litical hopes and aspiration, by the dispas
sionate and disinterested of both political
parties.
The elevation of one or both of them to
the suprem bench would give unqualified
pleasure to the great body of both political
parties in this part of^the State.— Colum
bus Times dfc Sentinel.
We publish the above editorial ir full as
-we find it in the Columbus Times of the
15th inst. We have nothing to gainsay
of the compliments paid in it to the two gen
tlemen of the Columbus bar, therein named.
They are gentlemen of talents, fair charac
ter and highly respectable attainments in
the legal profession. Did any general de
sire prevail among the people of Georgia,
the true source of power, and the constitu
ency whose wishes and interests are alone
to be considered, that any change should
be made in the incumbency of the Supreme
Court Bench, doubtless the fitness of Messrs.
Wellborn ami Henning for that high posi
tion would claim a fair and impartial con
sideration from the Legislatuie. They un
certainly among the prominent lawyers of
the State towards whom public attention
would be directed; but with equal certain
tv we may add they do not tower so pre
eminently in the profession as to mavk them
out as emphatically the men for the Supreme
Court Bench.
Most unquestionably they do not loom up
to a magnitude of intellectual power ami
attainments sufficient to overshadow either
Judge Nisbet or Judge Starnes whose claims
for continuance in ll.ieir present positions
will come before the Legislature. Indeed,
we have no reason to consider Judge Nisbet
inferior in,fitness for bis present position to
either Judge Wellborn or Mr. Benning;
while Judge Starnes, we consider, intellec
tually and in attainments, superior to them
both. We have a personal regard and
friendship for both Judge Wellborn and Mr.
Benning, and feel sensibly the invidiousness
of the task of making comparisons of this
character among friends. But as the friend
ly and oerhaps indiscreet zeal of the editor
-Of the Times <fb Sentinel has thrust these
"Columbus gentlemen tbus conspicuously be
fore the public, and thereby challenged com
parisons, we do not hesitate to speak thus
freely on the subject.
In regard to Jud^e Nisbet we have not
much to add in addition to what we said on
this topic in 1847.
In a letter from Milledgeville dated No
vember 1, 1847, we thus express our senti
.menis :
“So far, I have heard of no opponent to
Judge Nisbet for his seat on the Supreme
Bench. This I am pleased at, for 1 would
*Udihe to see a squabble to replace him bv
another of his own party—and so far as my
voice could go, iiad I a word to say on the
subject, I should be in favor of his remain
ing in preference to any other, whig or dem
ocrat, lor one term longer. The present
bench has had a most laborious aud respon
sible <Iutv to perform under many unfavor
abft circumstances, in putting tiffs tribunal
iutofuli and successful operation. They
have discharged their duty so far, well and
abjy, ao<J I am warmly an advocate of the
legislature showing those who have-doue
tbe prdfcMion and the State such good ser
vloefthat their exertion# have bgeu duly ap-
preaiated. At the same time, I am uoi'iiv
Juvw of a tile tenure for the Bench of the
Bw
H ______
•-* ’ T* ijlflfMKr
Since then the six years have rolled by,
and should he desire a re-election, his claim*
will be again before the Legislature. His
labors during that period have not been less
arduous than those of his associates on the
Bench, and we believe not less satisfactory
to the profession, and to the public. The
Court has become strengthened in the pop
ular esteem and its utility in accomplishing
the great objects for which a supreme judi
cature in a state }s needed, have been from
year to year more clearly demonstrated.—
Important questions have been finally set
tled and become established laws, on which,
previously, conflicting decisions and practi
ces prevailed in different circuits, which were
constantly liable to reversal with every new
change ot circuit judges. There is now a
much nearer approach than formerly to what
the tenure is by which property is held, and
the principles on which contracts are enforc
ed and rights vindicated.
If uniformity of decision and fixedness o
law and of legal construction be dtstrai le,
the ends cannot be best promoted by fre
quent changes in the Supreme Judiciary.—
When the Judges are learned, upright, im
partial, possessing the attributes specified iu
the editorial of the Times dfc Sentinel, the
public interests are not promoted, to say .the
least, by removing them to try the experi
ment ot finding others who mug do as well.
We'have no evidence whatever that the
people desire any such experiments made at
this time. We do not believe that any
such desire exists. A few aspirants for the
Judicial ermine, and their personal friends,
like the Editor of the Times & Sentinel,
may have a personal wish to gratify by such
a movement, and we doubt not Messrs. Wel
born and Benning have, and deservedly too,
as many personal friends interested iu their
promotion as any two other gentlemen to
whom seats on the Supreme Beuch is desi
rable. Bui all these do not constitute pub
lie opinion, nor do these embody the voice
of the Stale.
One word as to the qualifications of Judge
Starnes. Since comparisons are forced up-
ou us, we do not hesitate to pronounce him
the ablest man of his age in the State as a
Lawyer, and in all the attributes, intellec
tual and moral, needful for the high station
he now adorns — he has no superior ou that
Bench or on any other iu our Slate. Intel
lectually, Judge Starnes is highly gifted.—-
A mind ot more searching analytical power,
ot more comprehensive grasp, of more dis
criminating acumen, of more logical force,
is not otieii found and has seldom, if ever,
been called io preside in our Courts. He is
not a mere case lawyer. He uudeistan d
Law as a science, and tests questions upon
elementary principles. He is a student and
a man of letters. He was early destined
by uupropiliuua fortune to carve out his
pathway in this world by dint of his own
energies aud indomitable will, without the
aid ot family influence or the prestige of
distinguished names, whose friendship could
smooth the way and make honors and suc
cess the rewards less of merit than of favor
itism. He early learned to trim the mid
night lamp, and to garner up in the immor
tal treasury of lire mind, those riches which
jiminish not with the using, but are a bles
sing to the public, while they enrich aud
ennoble the possessor.
Iu the kindly qualities of the heart which
make men good citizens, and which secure
respect and confidence among his neighbors,
and win on the admiration of his friends,
we claim for Judge .Marnes a high place in
the social calendar. He enjoys in this com
munity and in the Middle Circuit, over
which he presided with unsurpassed ability
for nearly four years, the very highest de
gree of confidence and popularity as a
Judge—a confidence and popularity never
yet reached by a Judge iu this section of the
State. TheD, what would be agreeble to
particular sections of the State in the com
position of the Supreme Court Bench, is

The Weather.—As chroniclers of the
times, we notice that until Sunday evening
last, but little rain has fallen this month,
and Planters have had a tolerably fair sea
son for gathering cotton-—on Sunday night
we had a heavy fall of rain, and the wind
coming fiom North West while we write,
we have every prospect of a killing frost
which as yet we have not had. VVe are
glad to learn that the health of our couuty
has materially improved, and we entertain
no doubt that a few killing frosts will put
an end to chills and fevers, which have
been quite prevalent.
Rail Road Projects
Among the various Rail Road projects
which are being set upon foot in different
parts of our State, the purpose of which i»
to draw trade, approach markets, and culti
vate friendly feelings between different lo
calities, aud thereby forward mutual inter
ests, there is one locality which seems to
have been overlooked, and whose intelligent
and industiious citizens have ever been
keenly sen»itive of their wants in this par
ticular. We refer to the county of Han
cock. For several years past, the people of
that couuty have been doing their utmost
to effect a junction with some of the Rail
Roads which hem her in, and, in this day
of progress and steam locomotion, leave her
almost inaccessible to the travelling and
trading world. But every project \vhich
she has set her hand upon, has hitherto fail
ed for the want of encouragement from
those with whom she wished to link her
destinies. Truth compels us to say howev
er, in the connection, that she has not at all
limes consulted her personal choice as to
whom she should be connected by Railroad
ties, but has yielded to an impulsive desire
to betaken some where, and has counte
Danced almost any proposition that prom
ised a consummation so long and heartily
wished for. We do not mean by the fore
going that the people of that county are, or
have been forced into an unwilling alliance
with interests foreign to their own, or that
the present purpose in which they are pre
liminarily engaged, that of connecting War.
ronton and Milledgeville by Railroad, does
not meet the hearty approval of all who have
entered into it, nor do we iritewd to. insinu
ate that the connection thus formed will be
an) thing el e than profitable to all con
cerned iu it. But we do say that if the peo
pie of Hancock county, were voluntarily to
decide w hether iliey would prefer a con
nection with the Georgia, or the Central
Road, they would unhesitatingly give pre
ference to the latter, for they would then
have a chance at the Augusta market, and
upon nearly as good terms, as a more direct
route might giveAhetn, and we are borne
out in this assumption by the fact, that a
large part of her product is waggoned to
the Central Road ; and a great part of the
supplies of her merchants and planters pas
ses through the same channel; now it is
unfortunate for Hancock,"that it is, or has
been tbe belief, that a connection with the
