Eight Circuit Judges urc to he elected s hy the Legislature ilttritig its approachi tig'Scssioti, Ft is very pro bable Ajrat Ihrco or ? a.r cf t!:->s; now upon the Befielt will' be ivhc t'to "step down und out." There arc object} nite tosomc of them which vfieidareJa?y; will have force with the General A:;?enibly , and consign tbeni to a foUrlh-rUtc prac tice at home. It is an undeniable fact that our judiciary needs^improv ing, nnd the only way to do it is to retire our objectionable* Judges' from tho public gaze, nnd supply their places with boLtcr material. Thcro ia no paucity of good men; wo have an abundance of thcin who will not, if elected, disgrace the ermine of the position by oppressing one class for tho benclit of another. It is such as these we would like to sec elected. Then tho lamentable fact of a Judge being too partisan to bold evenly the scales of justice, between Democrat and Republican, would no longer characterize tho judiciary of .South Carolina. Some of these dignitaripa are too fond of pandering to the w is lies of those whose opinions arc not in accord with the times, to have that independence and individuality of character which should distinguish the conduct of those whose duly it is to administer the lav. Let the "Legislature retire such judicial frauds as these to the background, null..fill their places with better and abler men. The General Assembly has made sotno sad mistakes in this matter in the past, and we trust that it will not go-from bad to worse. If honest, capable men are placed in these posi tions, the judicial robes that have been dragging in the dust, with a dis gusting sycophancy at the foot of po litical Muthusalns, will be lifted tip and cleansed. AVe want no Judges who arc book-It Us. One or two of those now upon the Bench would pay tribute to a baboon, provided he wa on intimate terms with Deacon Jones and Col. Whfltyoumaycallbim. Give us men for these positions; strong bold, fearless men; strong to resist the overtures of a certain clique; bold in their adhesion to their political con victions, and fearless in the discharge of their duties. We should have men of independence of thought and ac tion?men who will not regard them selves as infallible and perfect, and every body else as fallible and imper fect. We want Judges who will compel the respect of their fellow men, by their worth and honesty, and who will not cringe or bow in worship of an ec ho. We have no particular Judges in view, but write from a conviction that an improvement is sadly heeded in the judiciary of South, Carolina. We do not suppose there can be any op position to the re-election of Judges Carpenter, Cookc, B?cd and Mayber. The General Assembly, in our opin ion, will be doing will to continue these four faith fill public servants up on the Bench; but that ho ly would be making an egregious blunder by vo'ing for the other four. We I aru that 31 uj. A. P?. Knowl ton,'of our own bar, is a candidate for one of the upper Circuits. 1Jc is a gentleman of culture and refinement, and a lawyer whoso legal abilities arc highly t'Sleojiyed by all who know him. Thoroughly educated, und conver sant witli Ihe law, bis elevation 16 tho Bench would do credit to the Legislature, and give to South Curd lina a pure minded and tipriglii .Judge. It is to be hoped that our delega tion will do their duty in the coming fig'Ht. Let every man be at his pest of duly whon the day arrives, and \vt shall chronicle them as faithful ser vanls: But don't thrust devils and cdiols upon us, whatever else you may do. We see fliese every day. "We want Judges of learning, discre tion and honor. Shall we have tin-in ? Tho Elections North. It. is evident that the people of the North arc not satisfied with the con dition of affairs lu re in the South. The late elections demonstrate this fact, and place it beyond peradven tu re. By souk; it is claimed that the prime cause <d' the defeat of the De mocracy is tractable 'alone to the posilioti that pail}' occupies oil the ?tu'reney question. We do not assent tu this explanation of (be failure of ?hi Bill Allen's party. The ilupubli cans, nil over the country, believe that iF a, rcluni.to lu\rd money is the best thing for the >y el in re of the Govern ment, that thevipnvtion will a<Jjust' itself, no-mntter"' which parly should triumph next your. If the Democracy should carry the day, its loaders would clamor as lustily for specie payments as the Republicans, if they saw that the exigencies of Government de manded it. On the other hand, the Republican party would, not cut. i).A own throat by opposing a paper cur rency? such as we now have?if the tables should become, reversed. ?So it is not absolutely to the money issue, which was raised in Ohio, that wo are to trace the defeat of the North ern Democrats. The two parties split upon another rock. In the first place, the leading Re publicans are not altogether satisfied that Southern sentiment has become sufiicieiitly reconciled to the recon struction of the .South, to w . riant them in turning over the legislation of the country to their old antagonists in arms and politics. They desire, this problem thoroughly settled first. They don't want simply a promise that the laic rebellious States intend; to remain true in tlu-ir allegiance lb the Hag of tho Union; they demand more. They demand that the whole .South shall give strong and tangible proof of its fidelity to the Government of the Vnited States, and a gurhhty that its Legislatures,-when they shall have lullen entirely inlo the hands of tho Democracy, will not disgrace their Statute hooks with oppressive and class Legislation; they demand Lliat our fire-eating editors and stump speakers, shall cease with their vituperative abuse of every man that hails here from the North; who docs not fawn upon and cringe1 to I hem; they demand that a native New Kug lander shall have as much right to enjoy a home here, if lie pays,lbr it' and behaves himself, as a German, Frenchman or Scotchman; they de mand that the humblest of our citi zens shall have the unchallenged right to enjoy and express their poll- l tical opinions, and to exercise their right of franchise as scetneth best to them. These arc [some of the salient questions which the lenders of North ern uentimcnt desire to see established on a permanent basis, preparatory to leaving us to ourselves. It rvould have been far better for us if they had been settled long ago. Had such been the case, a better feeling would pervade this country to day, and the great heart of the Re - public would have been throbbing with joy over a united und happy people. Rut instead of this, we have a divided country, and as Northern voters are not to bo caught with chaff, it is beyond tho ken of prediction to say when the two opposing sections will become reconciled to each other. A large number of the Republican leaders at the North are of opinion that such men as Preston, Tod tubs, and Gary reflect really the sentiments of educated Southern society, and that it would be dangerous, by a passive policy on llioir part, to nllow the Democracy to assume the authority of Government. It appears that tho cautious and guarded utterances of such men as Gordon rnd Lnniar, have not quite convinced the Northern people that the South is a.paradise for Republi cans, or any one else who desires to come here IVoui abroad. And yet it seems that the nets of these two dis tinguished representatives of the Democracy, conform very nearly to their published expressions, Rut des pite this, l* res ton's speech is regarded as the true index to Southern senti ment. They think thai Gordon and Lamar partake too Iarg? ly of the latter day politician, to disclose their real feelings. It is their policy to profess a sincere loyally to the Government, with the hope to persuade their politi cal opponents that their constituents are also equally as loyal. Iliit the antipathy and insane hatred which a number of Southern blunder busses have manifested against the South taking any part in (ho Centennial of next year, have served to put the North on its guard, and it is quite probable that the words of l'rcston will hereafter have mop weight again.11 us away from home, than all the speeches of Gordon and l.nmar will have for bur good. It is not greenbacks, nor is il hard money, that divides tho country. These issues (all into comparative in i ignific inee. v. hen compared with tho greatur one which bus for its aim the preservation of our Republican, insti tutions.
