Official Paper of Beaufort County, a
In view of the unconstitutionality ?f
the election of judges in the first and 1
third circuits, having been raised and to a 0
certain extent recognized by the cxeculivc
of the State by refusing to sign the c-ouimissions
of the judges elect from those tl
circuits, portions of a communication to
the Union Herald written by a legal ?
friead of that journal, are particularly ap- 11
plkrabic for reproduction at this time a^ s
the writer discusses the subject in a clear ?
and forcible manner and makes some good ^
points in favor of his construction of tl.e
meaning of the constitution. lie review.- 0
the case cited in the discussion of this
subject by the press, that of Wright vs. e
Charles, which relates to the term of of 'l
fice of clerks of court, and contends that
the point which the court was called up- 11
on to decide in that ca<e has no bearing
on the question as to whether judges C
elected to fill an uuexpired terui arc clec- ,
ted for a full term of four years a?
pruvided by the constitution for circuit t
judges: He says:
"The constitution provides for the elet- ?
iion by the people of each county of a
clerk of court, who shall hold his office
four years or until his successor is qualified.
The clerk can be selected in no other
way than by the people at an election, r
When thus elected he holds his office lor t
Jour years.''
"But for judges the constitution make: ,
different provisions ":
"Judges of the circuit com t arc elected ^
for term of four vears. (Art. 4. sec. 1.4.)
Vacancies in the supreme court and all *
other inferior tribunal* are to be filled I
by election, as provided by the const'tu- t
tiou: "Provided that if the unexpired r
ierui does not exceed one year such va
cancy may be filled by executive appoint 1
luent." (Art. 4, sec. 11.)
"If there can be no unexpired "term in [
the office of a curcuit judge which can be {
filled by an election or an appointment, j
why these constitutional provisions?
"The constitution clearly contemplates s
the appoiutuient, bv the executive, of t
judges when the unexpired term of the
vacant office does not exceed one year.
- But if the argument be sound that whenever
a vacancy occurs iu the office of a cir- 51
cuit judge, the i?ci>on elected is to hold :
the office for a full term of four years. >
there never could be an appointment
made by the executive, because there never
could be a vacancy for a shorter term 1
than four years. This is a complete answer
to the advocates of a four .Nfrars term to
every circuit judge."
" It is sain that what is meant by this
provision relative to appointments by the
.governor is, that the governor shall ap- 1
point a judge, who >ha!l hold office until i
the legislature can hold an election, but a
the language of the constitution will not t
bear any such interpretation.
'There can be but one meaning to the
expression unexpired term. J ha; 1
"meaning is the period which intervenes r
between the time a vacancy occurs r
and the time when the full term of the former
incumbent would havejterniinated.'"
u When, therefore, a vacancy occurs '
i a the office of a circuit judge, it is merely (
a matter of calculation to fix, the length ,
of the unexpired term. If it be for ies>
than a year, the goveruor may appoint
aud if more than a year, the general as 1
.seuibly shall elect a person to till the of 1
fice for the unexpired term. The prnc- t
tiee in this state since the adoption of tin .
constitution has been in conformity with
these views. Thus, in 1870, an election
was held to fill the vacancy in *
the first circuit caused by the resignation i
-of Judg.' Carpenter, and Judge Graham
was elected in his place. So also was
Judge Melion elected to fill the unexpired
term and vacancy caused by the
death of Judge Boozer. In 1871 .Judge i
Montgomery Moses was elected to fill the t
unexpired tcnu caused by the resignation
of Judge Vernon. Again, Judge Far- (
uier. was appointed by the governor to 1
fill the unexpired term of less than one (
year caused by the death of Judge Piatt. s
Yet judges were in 1872 elected for full '
terms of four year in all of the circuity
where these vacancies had been filled, and <
jio voice was heard to question the legali- t
ty of such eleet ions.'' c
No matter how objectionable certain ,
portions OX \ IIC Cll I^Clld v\nir*iuvi i ^
th we elected to the j?orlions of judges
may be, this question should be met
squarely, and uo consideration for the
personal preference of any set of men ,
should influence a construction of the t
constitution, .for in the language of a ' ,
quotation introduced by the governor in
his annual message.

The News and Courier's Washington 1
Correspondent "Cap" brings into prom
ineuci :hj following extract from the: J
Washington Tribune. "The H?n. Mr. | <
Smalls and other colored members of |

Smalls says that the judges removed, al- ' 1
though conservatives, were able lawyers 11

as fairly tested at the polls that those j ,

It admits however, that the quesion
has not yet been put to Judge Heed,
herefore the demand on us for the name

i which it dechTrcs the falsity of the
