"All vacancies occurring in tbs offices provided for by this article of the consti tution shall be filled by the appointment of the Governor, unless ether wise provi ded tor, and the appointees shall hold their places until the next regular elec tion." Con. art. e.aee. 31. The meaning of "next regular election" is the question to be settled. The adjective "next" is evidently used to qualify "election" so as to make il mean the first as distinguished from a re mote election. It means the first election in point of time. 1 be adjective "resrular" is used to Qual ify "election" so as to dtatingnish it from some other kind of election. It is there fore neceasary to ease r tain what art the several kinds of elections designated in the Coortitntion. There are two, snd only two kinda of elections designated or contemplated in the Constitution : regular elections and special elections. Regular elections are those by which the offices are originally and cootiououaly filled according to "attted and establish ed rules," at "periodical times." Web. JJict. Special elections are those by which the offices sre filled in case of accident. The usual election for members of the General Assembly on the first Thursday in Auguat every two years is an instance of regular election. An election to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death of a member, el such time as may be appoint ed, is an instance of special election. It is a useful inquiry, why is it thai the Governor is allowed to appoint a Judge in any case ? The people elect members of the General Assembly, whose term is two years, and if a member dies, making a vacancy, the governor does not fill the vacancy by bia appointment ; hut the people meet again and elect a new member. And so the people elect a Judge whose term ia eight years, and yet if a Judge dies, makiug a vacancy, the people do not meet again snd elect a new Judge, but the Governor appoinla. Why it this !

AN IMPORTANT TEST, PAID OVER 600 PER CENT. Salisbury, N. C, October 10th, 1874. Messrs Mrronev & Bio. C i. , Gentlemen : In reply to your inquiry aa to the merits of the Quanahani Guano, I will state that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, aad believe it to he one of the beat fertilisers now in use in our country. In the month of February I bought two tons and applied it over my (arm at the rate of 200 pound to the acre under CbUon, and 100 poundato the acre on Corn. On the 8th of October I nicked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I bad applied no fertilizer, 1 picked 1 ounces the same day shnaingS difference of over 8500 per cent, between land fertilised aad not.

I have not hsd ao opportunity to teat the Corn yet, but from general obsereatfon, I feel war- Bprang l0 my feet to find thst I had been On one sere of around, as a test. I sowed 400 ponnds of Guanahani broadcast, suhsoiling at nakm g fire pictures. Yes, fire pictures, the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstaaces, has average 700 pounds ot aaad cotton : this rear the visld will be at least 1800 pounds K- A. PROP8T. and guard tenderly yonr precious treasure ! Slowly the picture faded from view, but almost immediately another onn rose in its place. I looked into that self samo room agaiu, and I saw as before ihe same dark eyed woman, hot oh, how ehanged I This time she held no smiling "baby boy iu her arms, but sat in a listless attitude her hands folded on her lnp, and a rest-, less, uneasy light gleaming in her eyes. Presently I saw her spring to her feet with a great sob of pain, and fix her sad eyes on the form of a young man per haps eighteen years of age who came through the opeu door with heavy, un certain step, rlis eyes gleamed with a strange wild fire, his occe fair face waa flushed, and alter vainly endeavoring to lake a few steps forward he sank to the floor in a stupor of intoxication . With flowing tears I saw ber kneel by him and I seemed to hear the tones of her voice as she sobbed : "My boy ! my boy 1" God strengthen and help thee, poor mother ! Tbe picture grew dim, but another one rose before my gaze bright and vivid, and I shivered aa with cold while I looked. Again I looked into that room, and this is what I saw. A trembling, haggard faced woman kneeling near a couch on which was extended tbe form of a dyiug man yea, dying yet wild blas phemous oaths leaped like fitc from his burning lips. One moment he lay quietly, and then oh horror ! be started up ex claiming. "Mother I am dying-dying the death of a drunkard, and as such I am doomed !" Slowly a livid ahadow over spread bis swollen face, and with these last words he sank back dead. I seemed to her one wild wail aa the mother arose and look ed with streaming eyes out on the summer night. The clear, full moon looked calmly down on tbe earth -the bright stars on the fields of space as they looked pitying ly down seemed to whisper "doomed" the summer breeze whispered "doomed," and ber own sad heart wailed forth doomed doomed 1" The vivid pictute as if by magic faded away, and with a low cry I eases nein to ih ensiirarv V.vrr tbnlJ one case aud not in the other I 1 he pec- in erery b io f-TOf of pie are the elective power in both cases, ular righu ; to this, there is 00 exception, and one is just as important aa the other ; Cooley'a Con., Line 36, 37, 73, 74 182 and they will not allow the Governor to iw appoint in one case for a single day, and yel tlj.-y do allow him to appoint in the other for years. The difference is found ed on convenience, and on that alone.. Membera of the General Aasembly repre sent a county or a small district, aud it is but little trouble or expense for tbe peo pie to make a new election upon short notice. And therefore there is no necessity that the Governor should appoint their repre sentative or any county officer, and hs ia not allowed to do so. But the Constitu tion provides .bat all the twelve Superior Court Judges shall be elected not by a county, not by a district, bat by tbe whole State, (unless thereafter altered). Aud a : special election to fill a vacancy would involve delay to notify tbe people, to nominate candidates to canvass their mer its; and much expense to bold and certify tbe election. And so, lor convenience, tbe Tbe Constitution having provided for an election ot buperfor Court Jadges in 1874 ; and that being the next rrgular elecuon tor J udges after tbe vacancy, and Uie people having parted with the right to fill the office only temporarilv end for convenience, and it being reasonable and 1 .a a a fundamental convenient, it would seem to follow that tho election of the defendant in 1874 waa proper. Ao argument of some force against this view is, that Judgeships should be for tbe longest time, and that a reasonable eonsid a mm . erattoo ot the interest ot tho appointees would not call bins from his practice for a few months or years, and that no good lawyer would accent such appointment But an analogy unfavorable to this argu ment waa the appointment of Judges un der the old regime by the Governor onti the next General Aasembly, which a 1 mi mi sometimes only lor s tew months, aud Davis Co., N.

And then to the Governor, instead ol being reserved lBe General Aasembly resumed the elec oy tne people. I tive power, snd sometimes used it with It is also a usetut inquiry : for new cnwUtog, DOt My croe eff Bpon lbe long a time would tbe people be likely to appointees, nnder the idea that the public pan wun uiis irnporwu eicue power 1 -ood or some Other consideration As iney parted wun 11 temporally to suit their convenience, they would resume it as soon as convenient. The next inquiry is, is such convenient time indicated in the constitution f It is thu "stated, established, usual'' period where tbe people meet together for tbejirsi time after the vacancy occurs to vote for judges of the Superior Courts. Then it is as convenient for them to fill a vacancy resulting from accident, as from tbe expiration ot a term. And it ta joat as convenient for them to vole for seven as for six. If tbcu we nse "regular" in tbe sense of usual or established election, we have still to determine what arc the us ual or eseablished limes for elections of judges by the people f The Constitution provides that twelve Superior Court Judges shall be elected by general ticket, and aball hold their offices for eight years from 1870. That would make the usual, established, er what is the same, the "regular" elections come off in 1878, 1886 and so on, every eight years. But there was a further pro vision that one-half tbe judges elected at the first election should hold their first terms for only four years; tbe effect of which was to have an election every four year for six Judges, instead of election every eight years for twelve Judgea, evi dent ly fur the purpose of seeuriug a con tinoous and uniform practice and admin istration of the law, and at the same time popularising the system and keeping the Jndges and the people close togethei, with a frequent reminder to the Jadges of their responsibility to tbe people, and a frequent opportunity to the people to make them feel tbat responsibility. Whether such a policy is wise or unwise, T express no opinion, not because I have none, but because this is nol ihe place to express it. With this ooliey in view, and ia view of the fact that the people are the electors of Judges, are we not to suppose that the Constitution would have so provided as that as much as possible of tbe terms of Judges should result from the popular vote f When il is clearly intended that tbe Judgeship of a district shall be held eight years under the election by the peo ple, can it be that in case of accident it should be held one year under the election, by the people and seven years nnder the appointment by tbe Governor? Why was paramount. There is a general idea that to fill a vacancy, is to fill it as full as yon would a barrel, so. thst there is nothing more to do. That is true, where the electing power to fill tbe office originally, is the same power tbat fills the vacancy ; at where the people elect a member of tbe General Assembly and be dies, and they fill the vacancy. They fill it full and there is an end. But where the appoint ing power is not the electing power, then it reverts to tbe electing power as soon ss it can be conveniently exercised, nuleas tbe contrary clearly appears. And doubts ought to be solved io favor of the rever sion. It fa objected that this construction would disarrange lbe provision, that lbe J udges of tbe Superior Courts are to be derided snd kept in two classes, sis snd six, to be elected every four years ; for,$f eight are elected in 1874. then only foor will be to be elected in 1878. Non sequi tor. Tbat would be so if lbe two Judges elected to fill vacancies in terms which end in 1878 were elected not only to fill the vacancies, but for four years of the next term. That would he an anomally, for which I remember no precedent, either to sppoint or elect an officer, not only for the unexpired term, but for one half of tbe succeeding term. A Senator in Con-, greaa is elected for six years ; bat if elec ted to fill a three year vacancy , be does not fill that three years and three years of the succeeding term. 80 here, when two Judges are elected Iu 1874 to fill vacan cies in terms which end in 1878; their terms expire in 1878. They fill vacancies and not terms. Again, it is said tliat if the construction for which I eouteed, L c that lbe Gover nor is to sppoint antil tbe next regular election for J udges of the Superior Courts, and theu the people are to elect to fill the remainder of the vacancy, then, if lbe va cancy should happen just before tbe elec tioo, say twenty days, so that no election could be held, the vacancy would remain for four years ; Non sequi tor. The Gov ernor can appoint to fill any vacancy. He could fill the vacancy for twenty years, and then if the people failed to elect, either his appointee would hold over, aa in Battle vs. Mclver, or he could agaiu appoint to fill the vacancy occasioned by the failure of the people to elect. 1 1 is not effrcts the o Court. It that it does not. 1 ana proper construction not. The eleeUAn n( J udges arc every eight, four years.
