Tho Tenure of Offioe of the Circuit |
Judges.
The News and Courier has raised
an important question in reference to
the term of office of Judges elected
lo fill out the unexpired terms of
their predecessors. Judge Carpenter
was elected December, 1872; Judge
Cooke January, 1873; Judge Reed
December, 1874, and Judge Shaw
Januery, 187?-all elected to fill va
cancies caused by death or resigna
tion of office, and for the unexpired
term of those whom they succeeded.
By tba ?-institution the circuit
judges ure elected for the term of
tour years, and it is claimed these
judges hold office for four years from
the tijp of their election. The News
J!f ' advances, tn support of
!<8 jjwptioN, the decision of the .Stale
??opjpbe .Cwtrt win e li declares that
-...^fttj^y ^cfi'?'n ls"to fill a vacaticy, no
nntleif how arising ;" that "Mho per
".on-elected to fill a vacancy '<i-.>ca
"not succeed to the unexpired por
tion of the tero* of his predecessor,'
?but uolds by a? determinate tenure
-'prescribed by the Constitution;"
?ul that k'iio matter bow the office
.beeonTos vacant, the party elected
"to ssoeeed tc it is ?ot in aa tho mere
l-iu&uno ??ncito, on>y supplying thc
"term of the person who last pre
"ceded him."
We have token pains to get the
opinion of our local lawyers on this
subject, and find them almost unan
imous io the support of this position.
Meanra. Glover & Glover referred
us to the following cases establishing
the tenure of office in South Carolina,
determined in tho Constitutional
Court of this -State, by D. J. McCord,
Reporter >
Stale vs. Jeter.-'The tenure by
-which an office is held does not de
pend upon the commission which the
Governor may think proper to give.
lt ls only evidence of the appoint
ment. The tenure must depend upon
the provisions of the act creating the
office, or upon the Constitution.-1
JlcCord, 233.
State us. Ephraim Lyles-A person
elected Ordinary under the act of
1812, which limits the duration of
office to four years, is in under tho
Constitution, and is entitled to hold
his office during good behavior, al
though commisioned only for four
years.-1 McCord, 238.
State^ va. W. M. Jlxdaon.-Ordina

stitution of this ?statc, are judicial
officers, and hold their office during

pointed* m ordinary to fill a vacancy,
although the act authorizes him only
to make a temporary appointment
Ksti? an ejection shall take place, yet

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.-Mr. y.
M. Hullo, of Graham's Station, S.
C., don't "read tue papers," anti
while traveling from, his home or
Monday towards Augusta on th?
South Carolina Railroad, consid?r?e
it a favor when a newsboy introducei
him to GeorgeClark, an oily-touguet
confidence man. The gentleman, fron
the pine wilds of Orangeburg eountj
became fascinated with his new ac
quaintance, and after a stroll arouni
the streets, they proceeded to a bote
selected by Clark. The pair retiree
to bed about IO P. M^ and two bonn
after Hutto awoke to the realizing
sense of being a loser to the extent ol
$213 in money and $7? worth in jew
elry, which Clark had abstracted
from under his head. The police
were notified, but Clark, better known
to them as Hendricks Clark, bad
made good his escape to South Caro
j lina, via Hamburg.-Augusta Consti
tutionalist.
Neighbors' Thistle.
A person was once walking with a
farmer through a beautiful field when
he happened to see a tall thistle on
the other side of the fence. In a
second, over the fence he jumped, and
and cut it off close, tio. the ground.
"Ie that your field?" asked his com
panion. "O, no 1" said the farmer,
:4-bad weeds do not care much for
fences, and it I should leave that
thistle to blossom in my neighbor's
field I should soon have a plenty of
my own.
Evil weeds in yours neighbor's field
will scatter seed3 of evil in your own,
therefore, every weed pulled up in
your neighbor's field is a dangerous
enemy driven ofl from your own, No
one liveth or dieth to himself. All
are Hoked together?.
Sages of old contended that no sin
was ever committed whose consequen
ces rested on, the hea l of sinner .-.lone ;
that no man could do ill and his fell
ows not suffer. They illustrated it
thus "A vessel sailing from Joppa
carried a passenger, who beneath hu-,
berth, cut a hole through the ship's
side. When the men of the vvalch
expostulated with him,"*Wnat does't
thou, O, miserable man ?' the offender
camly replied, 'What matters it to
you ? The hole I have made lies under
my own berth.' "
This ancient parable is worthy of
the utmost consideration. No man
perishes alone in his iniquity ; no man
?SQ guess the full consequences of his
transgression.
Wno CAN COUNT THESTAKS?-Did
,ou ever try to count the stars? I
ised to try to do so myself, butsome
low I always fell asleep before I
?ould get through, and when I woke
ip I could not tell where I left ofT.
[ am told, though, that it bas been
lone, and that there are only about
iight thousand visible to the naked
?ye. Don't they make a great show
for a number no larger than that? But
Lhe Raven tells me that his master,
the Astronomer, says that those we
can see with our eyes alone are but
a very trifle compared with the number
that he can see through his telescope.
He says, instance, that there are eigh
teen million ot stars in the Milky Way.
Now it's of no use ! can't even think
of such a number as that. My bead
is n't big enough to hold them.
"Jack-in-the Pulpit."St. Nicholas for
Oct.
posthumous fame is a plant of
tardy growth, for our body must be
the seed of it ; or we may liken it to
a torch, which nothing but the iast
spark of life can light up ; or we may
compare it to the trumpet of the arch
angel, for it is blown over the dead ;
but unlike that awful blast, it is of
?arth not of heaven, and can neither
rouse nor raise us.
Fear debilitates and lowers, hut
liopc animates and revives ; there?
Tore rullers and magistrates should
attempt to operate on tho minds of
their respeutive subjects, if possible,
by reward rather than punishment.
And this principle will be strengthed
by another consideration ; he that is
punished ot -rewarded, while he falls
or riaes in the estimation of others,
cannot fail ta dp so likewise in hip
awn.
The martyrs to. vjce. far exceed
toe martyrs to virtue, both in endu
rance and number. So blinded are
we by our passions, that we suffer
more to be damned than to bo saved.
