A writer in the last Arkansas Blnner endeav


ors to prove that Judge Lacy is no longer cri.
zen Of Arkansas, and ergo no longer Supreme
Judge. This writer, we are advised by a gen.
,eman who has long made the laws of Louisiana
his study, laboTs under a misrepresentation as to
the requirements of the Statutes of that State in
admitting practitioners TO their Bar. No statute
ever required yea 5 residence prior to license
but rule Of court did require sucha residence
rule which was oftn relaxed. az in tho case of
Preniss of Vicksburg, and many other Mississippi
lawyers. Tha; rule has been 81 me Two years
abolished. and persons are admitted npon cxami-
nation and evidence Of good moral character
Rut TO beco me n citizen ofLoui,ana, the resident
must file n declaration of intention of twelve
months. We therefore presume that Judge Lrcv
has not forfeited his office by practising law in
Louisiana-nor would the Governor we apprc!
hend, take the responsibility OF filling the office
bv superseding Judge Lacy, however gratifying
such course NIGH. be to some hungry expectant.
Should the Judge neglect the duties of his Office


the Legislature may remove him by Address.
