With the former it ia bat ad inflniteaimal 'percentage Jof the voter* that can be pereooally aolicited and >. made promiaea to: neither cad any one yote or one influence be of aufficient val ue to be worth the price of 'purchaaing'. With the Utter, when a majority of bO voter* haa been known to elect and when total majorltiee rarely ezeeed b 1000, each vote ia infinitely valuable, s- and ia worth the expenditan of Hercu lean effort*. Since the publication ot the thort ed- - i to rift I to which Hr. Ward’* at tide waa 0 a nply, a auggeation haa been made to q the Timea-Enterpridb which appeala to g oawpnferable to our original idea of g of aelection by the aupnme court. Thia a auggeation call* for the election of the 1 Jadge* in their own home circuita pa 9 now, but their preaiding exclnaively in : an adjoining circuit. Thia plan would f completely aileoce our objection* to the - m elective eyatem, while still preaerving the democratic machinery. • It ia hardly practicable to have India- criminate rotation of the judge* becaun of the difference in condition* between * a North Georgia circnit for lnatanoe, and • the Thomaaville cUcuit. North Oeor- giana are not able to pay the flnee that 1 would be but juat in South Georgia. Thia great atate ia po*w*4d of anch varied reeourcee and varied condition* 1 that a man from the aorthweai can hardly be expected to be familUr with oondltlona in the aoutheaat. But aurely a man of aufficient prominence to be elevated to the Itooorable poaiticu of a judge would be of wide enough experi ence to know the conditions in hla ad joining circuit. j Let ua inoteaae the term of the judge to aix yeari, raiHhl* pay to' at ieaat , gAcOO and aubject Um to anaxamioa- , lion on tlie law and practice, his com- - miaaion to be dependant oo the result of the examination. The matter ia a weighty one, and ow ing to onr peculiar good fortune in being served most satisfactorily by the pre vailing system, we can dtaauao it* mer its solely (ran an ethloal ataadpoirt and without prejudice.

In reply to a recent editorial in the Timea-Enterprim regarding the present tuanner of aelecting superior oonrt judg es, Hr. J. 8. Ward, Jr., haa writtan a logical and axoallent defence of the sys tem now In vogo*. Hr. Ward votoM the sentiment of n great many people when lio eays that al most anything is better than the old way* of appointment by the governor with confirmation by the senate and election by the legislators. It waa ac knowledgement of this eentimiot in onr aelvewthat drove a* In desperation to the auggeation of s plan yet untried, ap pointment bv the supreme bench. Hr. Ward flnda only one fault with the preaetflVrootliod ofeleotlon by the people, and tliat is the tie re scary ▼ale having to be taken by the elate at He would lisvu the matter left r with the people of the circuit r whicli the Judge will preside. In this, our opinions are diametrically opposite, 'if tlio law requiring the dec ton of every judge by the entire state were an active force and not a dead fig. • ore, aa tt is.'we should be far leas anx- ion Tor e-change. Hr. Wild thinks that the judges, being onr most Impor tant officers, should be the ones of oil -others tobe chonu directly by tbo vote ■of the people. He regards an argument ■wgajnat the encceH of such a system as ‘an argument against the eooeaaa of >ubUcdn government Hr, Ward baa lost eight ot the real boose in the sspulohre. We acknowl edge that popular alection haa been adopted In many states that itia the aeem lug democratic method, and that it ia the system which brings poaitlve Immu nity front dospotism. On the other hand, we do not bdieve "immunity from influence" to be a trait of human nature. The public voloe of Georgia haa raised a mighty clamor against the so- -oeptam-e of railroad passes by onr legis lators on the ground that they must be thereby prejudiced iu favor of tho rail road. If t)nre be truth iu this claim, bow much more weighty must bo the influence exercised over a judge by a .prominent member 6f a family control ling one or two hundred votes in his cir cuit. While instances or judicial corruption la Georgia have been exceedingly rare in all times, we would call the gentle man's attention to the fact that the re cent disgrace in North Georgia was not anaaddentnoraninoidont, bat a di- mas. Undar ail three systems this Im mediate circuit, and mart circuit* In this section, have obtained complete sat isfaction, bat the satisfaction has been ia spite of the system and act beeauae or it. , On ita vary faoa, the idea of a judge iiltr ftltflirTiftiT-r to i before him le unjust.
