Ex-Presid nt Ilarrison writes of "The Judical Department ot the Government," in the January Ladies' Home Journal, and siys with refer ence to the general mode of selecting Judges iu the majority of States: "There has been much diBciiKsi in as to the proper tenure for the judicial odioe; and the tendency, as expressed iu the later State Conotiiutions, has been in favor of limited terurs. The earlier State Oonsti'utions gaye the .ippoiutment of the Judges to the Governor or the Legislature, but along with the demand for limited fertna for th Judges came another for their elemion tj the people, and in a majority of the States tbey are no w nominated in the party conv n cions and elected by popular vote j ist as a governor or sheriff is chosen, I do not think that either of these changes it a reform. Limited terms, if they are long, may b supported by many considerations ; t ut short 'emts, com'uined witti popular eleo tions, have cot, in my opinion, se cured a hth a judicial slaudurJ ae prevailed before. A Judpe who must go ut short lu'.ervals before i political couvention for nomination, and baroe the people for an eleo tion, cannot bavo the snme Sense of udrpendeuca and eeenrity that be would have if h s term were long or ItHng good behavior.

Tbe statement of its plans and purposes, or exac.lj what reform it propozes to iffrCt, is oot very defioite a fact whuh is tc 03 regretted. But it is to bs hoped that it will address itself to the curt of tbe custom if it is a custom out in thnt country which people have down here, of planting themselves in he end of the pew next the aisk Len they go in church aud refusing to budge for new-comeis, thus com pelliug those who enter afkr them o 6tumbleover their feet and crown themselves Into the pew as best thet can. When the country was young tnd a worshipping congregation was tpt to be surprised at apy moment by au atta- k of Indi tns, our fore fathers carried their guna to meet ing and the men sat next the aisle in order to be ready upon a secondV aotioe to grab their guns and rush tut to repel the red men and save the women and children. Such it the power of heredity that the de scendants of the men of those dayr, in North Carolina, at least, will an chor every time in the end of the vest, if it be vacant, atd cannot be induced to movj over, although the Indian has long since beej driven toward the setting sun and th danger of attack upon peaceful wor shippers is the remotest of proba oilities. If in its cuiriculum of church manners tbe University oi Chicago is (etching its students to move over, we bid it hail and Ood speed, indulging the hope that itE Hues will go out through all the earth.
