FRIDAY. MARCH 30, ’8S. j
Hen Hill baa been nominated for J
Attorney of tbe United Stales for
tbe Northern District of Georgia. |
It is a nomination that will give j
general satisfaction.
Atlanta was the scene of a most j
destructive fire on Wednesday
morning. The James block was
entirely destroyed and one man
burned to death, while several per
sons were severely injured. The
loss is about $30,000.
We have received from the au
thor an address delivered before
the Georgia Har Association at its
last annual meeting in Atlanta, by
(.'has. C. Jones, Jr., in which lie
takes tbe ground that the Judges
of the Supreme and Superior
Courts sheuld be paid larger sala
ries. He makes a good argument
and we are inclined to agree with
him, lor it is a noteworthy fact
that our best lawyers cannot alTord
to take a place on the bench, on
account of the smallness of the
salary. There are only three States
which pay as small salaries to their
judicial officers as Georgia. Wo
are not an advocate of high sala- '
ries, but we believe in paying
enough to secure the services of j
the best men for tbe position.
The Chicago Tribune professes
to bare discovered a plan by which
tbe Democrats in the Illinois legis
lature expect to elect their candi
date for United States Senator.
Tbe plan is as follows : On the first
day when nearly a full Democratic
vote is present, and some lte
publicans absent, Haines, ns speak
er, is to direct his large force of
sergeants at arms to close the doors
of the house. Then the roll call
for Senator will proceed. The Re
publicans in attendance will refrain
from voting, believing their failure
to vote will make them, under par
liamentary rules,absentees. Haines,
however, will direct the count to
he made and verified of (hose actu
ally present in the flesh at the joint
session. He will then order the roll
called again. Perhaps ninety-odd
Democrats will vote for Morrison,
and eighty or less Republicans
actually present will not vo’e.
Haines will then say : “Tbe count
of the legislature in joint session
shows there are present, say, one
hundred and sixty members, or
one hundred and four, being more
than the quorum required by the
United States statute, and of that
number a majority having voted for
William R. Morrison, I declare him
duly elected," etc. We hope the
Democrats will succeed in their
plan.
It looks now as if the Illinois
legialatnre would fail to elect an
United States Senator to succeed
Logan, and tbe vacancy will have
to be filled by an appointment by
tbe Governoi. We shall look for
this appointment with peculiar in
terest, as it will show which is the
strongest with Governor Oglesby
—party pressure or personal resent
ment, and thereby bangs a tale. In
187* Senator Logan a lime expired
and be was defeated for re election
by Judge Davis, after a long and
stubborn contest. In 1879 Sena-
