The Tenure of Offioe of the Circuit
Judges.
The Netvs and Courier has raised
an important question in reference to
the term of office of Judges elected
to fill out the unexpired terms of
their predecessors. Judee Carpenter
was elected December, 1872 ; Judge
Cooke Januar j', 1873 ; Judge Reed
December, 1874, and Judge Shaw
Jamiery, 1875-all elected to Oil va
cancies caused by death or resigna
tion of office, and for the unexpired
term of those whom they succeeded.
By the constitution the circuit
judges .<.:?. elected for the term of
faur yeats, and it is claimed these
judgesJiold office for four years from
ti a . ??te of Uieir election. The News
; m advance?. m support of
?s kjfj?1'1"';: :i?K/.< -ii -tate j
iapWtne Cvur>-. whick-declares that
? W&nJ clectJifH la io lill a vacancy, no
, nattier, bow arising ;" that 'Hue pt:r-"i
^"^?'sonielected io lill a vacancy 'does
'not succeed to the unexpired por
. ?tinn nf t h? tern* of his predecessor,'
'?jut >] ls by a determinate tenure
prescribed by the Constitution;"
.ad aatter how the office
.beeon int, the party elected
"to suoceed to it is not ia as the mere j,
"locvrn- tenen*. only suppiyiug tue I.
"term of the person who last pre-/
"ceded him."
We have taken pains to get the
opinion of our local lawyers on this
subject, and find them almost unan
imous in the support of this position.
Messrs. 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 L\ J. McCord,
Reporter t
State vs. Jeter.-r-.T-Ue tenure by
which an office is held does not de
pend upon the commission which the
Governor may think proper to give
It is only evidence of the appoint
ment. The tenure must depend upon
the provisions of the act creating the
office, or upon the Constitution.-1
31cCord, 233.
State vs. Ephraim Lyles-A person
olected Ordinary under the act of
1812, which limits the duration of
office to four years, is in under the
Constitution, and is entitled to hold ||
his office during good behavior, al
though commisionud only for four
years.--1 McCord, 238.
State., vs. W. M. Unison.-Ordina
ries, by the third article of the Con
stitution of this State, are judicial
Officers, and hold their office during
good behavior ; and when ibo Gov
ernor, under the act of 1815, ap
pointed*.**] ordinary to fill a vacancy,
although the act authorizes him only
to make a temporary appointment
UDtU an election shall take place, yet
Hie ordinary being in office, he is io
linder the Constitution, and uold du
rjpg good behavior.-1 McCord, 2?0.
State, VB,. Thomas Mcclintock.
By the Constitution the Sheriffs hold
their offices ' for the term of four
years;} and when the Governor,, under
the act of, 1808, appointed a sheriff
to. fflla* vacancy until an election
^hould fake place, such sheriff, being
|n office is in under the Constitution,
apd holds his office for four years.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.-Mr. P.'
M. Hullo, ol' Graham's Station, S.
C., don't "read the papers," aud
while traveling from, his home on
Monday towards Augusta on the
South Carolina Railroad, considered
it a favor when a newsboy introduced
him to GeorgcClark, an oily-tougued
confidence man. The gentleman from
the pine wilds of Orangeburg county
became fascinated with his new ac
quaintance, and alter a stroll around
ibo streets, they proceeded to a hotel
selected by Clark. The pair retired
to bed about IO P. M., and two hours
after Hullo awoke to the realizing
sense of being a loser to the extent ol
5213 in money and $70 worth in jew
elry, which Clarie had abstracted
from under his head. Thc police
were notified, but Clark, better known
lo them as Hendricks Clark, had
made good bis escape to South Caro
lina, via Hamburg.-Augusta Consti
tutionalist.
Neighbors' Thistle.
A person was once walking with a
farmer through a beautiful field when
lie happened to sec a tall thistle on
the other side of the fence. In a
second, over the fence he jumped, and
and cut it otf close to. the ground.
"Is that your field ?" asked his com
panion. "O, no !" said the farmer,
'.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 seeds of evil in your own,
therefore, every weed pulled up in
your neighbor's field is a dangerous
enemy driven of! from your own, No
one liveth or dietb to himself. All
are linked together..
Sages of old contended that no sin
was ever committed whose conscquen
ccs rested on the head of sinner alone ;
that no man could do ill and his fell
ows not suffer. They illustrated it
titila " A vessel ?ailinyr from Joppa
carried a passenger, who beneath his,
berth,cul ali?le through tho ship's
side. When thc men of tho walch
expostulated with him/'Whatdoes't
ihoui 0, miserable man?' the offender j
camly replied, 'What matters it tu
you ? The hole I have made lies under
my own berth.' "
This ancient parable is worlhy of
the utmost consideration. No man
perishes alone in his iniquity ; no man
..an guess the full consequences of his
ransgression.
Wno CAN COUNT THE STAUS?-Did
on ever try to count the stars? 1
sed to try lodoso myself, butsome
ow I always fell asleq) before I
ould get through, and when I woke
p I could not tell where I loft off.
am told, though, that it has been
one, and that there are only about
ight thousand visible to the naked
ye. Don't they make a great show
or a number no larger than that ? But
be Raven tells me that his master,
he Astronomer, says that those we
ian see with our eyes alone are but
i very trifle compared with the number
,hat he can see through bis telescope.
[Ie says, instance, that there are eigh
een million ot stars in the Milky Way.
Now it's of no use ! can't even think
>f such a number as that. My head
ia n't big enough to hold them.
'Juck-in-the Pufpit."St. Nicholas for
Oct.
Posthumous fame is a plant of
lardy growth, for our body must be
,1K! seed of it ; or we may liken it to
i torch, which nothing but the last
ipark of life can light up ; or we may
:orapare it to the trumpet of the arch
ingel, for it is blown over the dead :
mt unlike that awful blast, it is of
larth not of heaven, and can neither
ouse nor raise us.
Fear debilitates and lowers, but
lope animates and revives ; there
ore rullers and magistrates should
tttempt to operate on thc minds of
-heir respective subjects, if possible,
">y reward rather than punishment.
And tids principle will be strcngthed
tiy another consideration ; he that is
punished or rewarded, while he falls
jr rises in tho estimation of others,
cannot fail to do so likewise in his
>wn.
Tho martyrs to. vice, far exceed
tne martyrs to virla?, both in endu
rance and number. So blinded are
we by our passions, that we suffer
more to bc damned than to bc saved.
