Oar Judicial System.
A number of our exchanges tire
giving expression to the well-founded
complaint, that in many Counties
tho criminal busino e, occupies almosl
the optirc time of the Court, to the
neglect of tho civil business of the
term ; and tho ChcBterfield Democrat
tho Greenville Mountaineer, and the
Anderson Intelligencer, suggest as xi
remedy for the evil tho establish mcnt ol
separate tribunals for the trial of civil
atid criminal causes. With propei
deference to tho opinion of our c&
teemed contemporaries, we do not sec
however, what is to be gained merely
by a separation of tho tribunals. Il
tho object is to dispatch tho business
promptly and efficiently, and at the
least expense, the Judges must sit longer
and work hardor. Under out
old system two terms wcro all sufficient
for the dispatch of the civil and
criminal business of the District, and
surely tho increase of crime has not
been each, that an additional term oi
tho Court is insufficient to meet its
requirements. Is it proposed to establish
additional judges drawing the
largo pay of the present officers ? II
tlie civil and criminal business bo assigned
to different courts, this will
fce necessary; for tbey equally require
enlarged judicial learning, experience,
and ability. But is there any necessity
for the additional expense?
Tho ovil seems to ariao from the
multiplication of petty causeB,
which should either not como iuto a
court of justicc, or should bo dispatched
summarily beforo the inferior
jurisdiction. To send these to the
higher court, is to be guilty of the
blued or of employing costly machine

of tho ladies of tlie Villago to
say to the ladies of the District, that
they aro respectfully, and earnestly
requested to unite with them in n

the objects of this Association.
It is the desigu of the Association to
erect a monument in the Capital of
the State which shall perpetuate the
memory of "tho lost cause," and signalize
our appreciation of the virtues
of its martyred dead. It is'cumhati
&
cally- woman's "work, and eminently
proper that that sex which contributed
so much of devotion and
self sacrifice to the cauBO when living,
shou'-d cherish its spirit and pcrpet1

are sure tMht the appeal will meet a
cordial response and that the true hearted
ladies' of our District will unito in
contributiiig a votive offering which
sitall t>o -commensurate with their
past exertions, and worthy of the

have received tho appeal which we

requested to say in behalf of tho
ladies, whose names aro npponded,

APPKiL.
Wooion of South Carolina, thero
needs no urgent appeal to your sympathies
in a cause so sacred as that
which wo now understake. The great
tido of adversity which has swept
over our unhappy land, has hithorto
stifled effort in this direction ; but not
therefore, havo our hoarts ceased to
beat for the glorious dead. Scarcely
is there one among us whoso thought
does not, on the first montion of our
object, turn at once, with loving affection,
to some grave which this monument
is iDtended to honor.
Mothers, widows, sisters, daughters,
whose hearts thus cling to the soldier's
gravo, let us then unite with an
earnest, loving effort in this holy duty.
Lot even our lisping little ones be
brought to give their mito to its ac.
eomplishmcnt ; that thus impressed
upon their minds, they may never
forget to love and honor the memory

canso. If a lost causc, ev'cn therefore
the more holy. Even therefore docs
it become the moro incumbont upon
us, to bring to this groat sacrifice of
pure purposo and heroic deed, that
homage and veneration which the
world pays only to success.
' With the wish that all who have
shared in a common sorrow, may
share also in tho privilege of raising
this*testimonial to our heroes, the annual
subScrption for membership is
put at tho lowest point practicable; j
that thus it may ho within tho reach j
of * <9o, who, having littlo to give,
have-still tho right, through tears and I
suffering, to join us in the fulfilment.!
of this most sacred duly.
To all others?men as well as
women, old and young?to all who
chorish the name of Carolinian, and
cling with a fond lovo to whatever is
left to us of our "good old State," we
would say, give to us freely according
to your means; give generously ; give
gratefully to the memory of those
gave their lives for us.

No words of ours are needed to

would but say, that as the soldiers
of Abbeville were second to none;
we feel confident her women will
not be backward in this hallowed
cause, and that'every one, from
the aged matron to the little orphan,
will throw in her mite to
raise a Monument worthy to
guard the memory of our dear and
?~i.u A 1
uuuiu ucau.
The following extracts from the
Constitution of the Association
will explain its object and its plan.
"1. This Association shall have
for its object the building of a
monument, in the city of Columbia,
by tbe women of the State, to
the memory of the South Carolinians
who tell in the service of the
Confederate States."
"2. All women of South Carolina
may become members of this
Association by enrolling their
names, and by contributing the
sum of Twenty-Five Cents."
"7. Committees shall be appointed
in every District of the State to
invite membership and to collect
funds, and these committees shall
~n ' ? - 1
lumam uii names 10 iue itccordmg
Secretary and all subscriptions to
the Treasurer of the Association."
A regular meeting ot the
Association shall, be held in thd
city of Columbia in November."
As we must act in concert to obtain
success we would earnestly b6g
all ladies of the District who are
able to meet in the Marshall House
on Monday, the 7th of February, at
12 m., to giro in their names as
members, to bring any contributions
