A number strong papers having come out bold against the system now in vogue among same being the Albany Herald and Augusta Chronicle. While the Journal would admit that there are some good arguments that can be brought against tbe present system, yet we would also maintain that the system of electing judges of the courts of the sUte baa fewer ob jections, and more virtues than any other system that could he used. The old system of electing the judi ciary by the stole legislature waa so full of faulto that It permitted of the building up ot one of the most powerful political machines that any •tot* ever endured. The Albany Her ald to speaking of the old system mildly saya: “The old system under which the judiciary of our atate waa elected by S* ^ •» ktodi of vehicles to the legislature, had Us imperfections, we fast learning that ths|for no system la without defects. , Mieaco regulating traffic was [imposed a tremendous responsibility home iuat tor the fun of the upon the tawmaktog body, which waa visit t [often obliged to choose between men city. — 1 0 f whose fitness it could only Judge Jitoh he has said It but If t through the prejudiced eyee of tbelr Mrf aW unburden himself a lit- partisans, and mistakes were not tn- fiouc* P rot *kly say being preal- frequently made.
