r *>cric4ViM*Eft. ? B od^M dpinion that there lit' grav*,J dissatisfaction inoog *11 classfej^bf our people Itregarda oiy Resent judieitil system. Withoy^iaWtHion t*V , tp anywise relief. , upon tfc* character sod fitness of our Jvdgts for the positions' which they occupy we way say with out prerijudice that sooie mem ders of that honorable body are l)Ot giving satisfaction in their oonstrcement of the law, their rulings on legal points, and in their charges to the juries. Il there is just cause for this feel ing of dissatisfaction, w hy ? We can only ascribe it to the fact that, according to the Constitu tion, Judges must be elected by the Legislature. The candidate for the position of Juoge who happens to have the strongest pull with that body usually se. cures the job, regardless of the Quperion fitness of an o;>]h njnt lor the plu<;e. . That lliU is not the inteut and pur]K??e ot the clause in our Constitution re gulating and requiring the ele ction of J udges 1 u the tnannei abovd staled, goes without say ing. iiut where is the remedy V We cau see but one. That is the introduction of a resolution it the next Legislative session, at 'which that body shall authorize the holding of an *.ection pro viding for a Constitutional ^raeniimeu*. This umendmen.' will be for the purpose of eliui foaling that cluusu iu the Co? atitntion providing lor the elec tion oi Judges by the Legislature, *nd providing thai they (the Jai^es) shall be appointed to nerve at the regular terms as ' heretofore, but that the Judge shall be the lawyer recommend ed aud asked for by the bur ol ?ach county in which court is to tm held. This rule will natural ly apply to speciul terms ol court, called to dispose of urgent and important casus. We consider this an excellent idea, aud do not claim credit foi Ifci 'inception. That credit, ll CTfediVthere is, is due to Gen. J. Wilier Floyd. The idea would perhaps have never occured to ?is had we not been engaged iu a casual conversation with him tlu other day, and the matter in question come up. In this con nection, we waut to own np to the fact that several bright ideas to which we have given utter ance and expressions have been gleaned from the fertile tield of the ex pun*ive brain of Generu) Floyd. It is an old saying that any fool can learu something from a wise man, and while we donotthiuk that we qnite an swer to that fool proposition, we a rat always open to the adoption of suggestions such as the above. We think that General Floyd possesses one of the brightest iniuds in tlw State, and wo hope to have him usaco-udjutor when we go to the Legislaturom 1!)00.

We had the plensure of meeting Mr. "Richards in our office on Inst Friday.
