Such charae. as thuese cannot fail of producin~ hief. but when invested with the cial dignity a broad field is opened the exercise of their pe'culian ties. If the memory of corrupt es in England calls down upon it ersal execration, what does the eg disgrace in South Carolina and ? ut there is another pe:~i2iarity ol the judiciary noticcable in ;ur State, especially i.i the upper p..rr.on, and that is the manner in which civi business has been almost persis tealy let alone. Th .r.ff:rers by this pJ1:eeiou ri 'f are widlows. orph:is and wards who have no voice at the ballot box. They, whom the law ought to protect, are the victims of th inacticity (we put it aiidly) of our Judges. Ier it may be r'nr:rk ed by some that the Bar have betn at ftult. To a cerian extt-nt is true-yet i-. our Ja.a,.s wer, JuPS, tle disposit1ion on the part of the I;ai to retard business could very easily Le overawed. 'Ihe ic stitutin says that justice shall be 'administercd witiou1 unnecessary delay," and it is the duit of the JudeCs so to ad:miniSter justice. Failing in this duty, they have utter' disregardud the pruvi:ion of the Con stitution which guarantees this riglH to the citizen. Two methods are ex ereised by the:n in delaying the regiiu lar course of business-the first is n141 to call the dokets and the second i; not to render a decision within th tilll prt;seribcd by law after the hear ing of the cause. By the secon< method the statute is broken and b5 ' buth the judicial outh is disreg-ard,d iPub!ic officials are safe fromt th( colsequences of their crimes for a seasn., but when the judiciary o South Carolina is purged and ou: Judues are micc- again mlen fearless i4 the discharge of evey duty, then wil opei the new era-S,iuith Carolina wii then renew her youth.

For this reason we have t lieretolure said nothing on the subject. o We will say, however, that. we trust a the great preachor will<ce o u of it all b with his skirts clear of any roal guilt. s We prefer as yet to believe him inne cent.

Aler a pleasant sojourn of three Y weeks in Spartanburg town and Coun ty, we are once more at lioii, and right well pleased to he so, for notwith standing the attractions of travel, anld the pleasure of mteeting kind friends, andi having ar good time generally, there is no place like home after all, and huon dlreds and( thousands who have already reachied hiome, and as5 many more whio arc still on the wing, will heartily agree wvithi us ont this point. Beforetung onr thoughts, h:owver, on home mat ters we wvould say a fewv words miore in (losing up our three wveek's exp)erience. The Raiil Road Barhecne at Spartan hurg was a big~ ahihir, sonic five or six Sthousand persons beig precsent, and 1the enthusiasm manifested gave atssu r:mIee that crc long the Asheville & Spairtainhurg Road will be built, and the rich producets of the great West poured into this State. Among the distiniguish ed visitors present on that oce:sion wais our formir towvnsman, Gen. Garlington, w;h:o m:nie :in eloquent and stirriug~ ad dress. Satistied that the ro:ad would be. buOilt and having (lone all that we could do for it and the town of Spartmihurg, we took the S. & U.. cars down. T1his road is most admirably served by Capt. W.~ W .avies, one of the youngest and pl1e:asantest railroaid superinotendents we have ever had the ha:ppiness of meet -ing. and whose courtesies we hi' ihy appreciate. Mr. Counts, secretary ai.d treasurer, and also Mr. Hea:th. condhue tor on1 thec line, will accept onr thanks for kind attentions. At Union it wa:s or r ipleasure to meet an old armly acquaint :miee, Quartermaster Powell, who in sisted on our giving the Silv< r Cor neti H:mnd of Spiartanhiurg fits. hut this we1 mst decline for the reason thatt R.

I low far enn religious people indulge Isneh gaies as croquet, cheeks, cards nd ther amusement of like type, and 5 inintain the inteigrity of Christian lrals, is a question tof no little impor- h mnce nt the(preient ',im1.

Let us try and disen angle ouirself fronm these and in ani nmpartial spirit seek the truth. Itignrlly argued that recreation vhichi relaxes the tention of the mind mid severe mental labor is necess:nyv 0 produce proper nmental vigor, and nye the intellect that tone andI power recessary to its highest achievements. Chis wve cheerfully admit.n It is further argued, that "'the excite nent produced by gaming is the b)est elxationl the mind1( can have." This ve serioutsly doubt. To be suiccessfl n gatming~ it is unecssary to f:asten the. ttetion and keep it closely fixed, and1 he exertion is tot) severe. TIo relax he mini, it shiouild b'e free from exer ion and the phyisical exercise should be tuardied by realsoni andt not taxed by he severe exeitemnt connected with emning.. These are the only arguments hich we have h,eard ini defence of gama a nieans of relaxing the mind, mdl these in our humble judgment do ot meet the case. Let us come to the consideraition off he other side of this gnuestion. The elce . tudent needs the exercise-the mind nust be r(-htxedl. Are there not be.tter nans of arriving at the diesiredt result. han that propo)isedl? Will not wailking. lrdeing,O~ ttr chop~pintg :answer a better rptosi?

Well, let us furn ish oh-t etions to :any game :is at mode of re axing thet mind. 1It wastes too nmech precious tiunet. b-laxation of the mind shtould aim at sing productive. It shotuld he some ' isefuil empltoyment. but gaming fails in hs im portan t respect, even supposing he taues to b e o f the simiplest antd ost in nocent kiutd.

It inspires daingerous propensity or gaming. Th sim ple game of Cro lict stands in' the samne relation to gamn ting that wine tdrin king does to drunk niess. Wine di nking is not drnu01k nness, but lhads to it by inspiring a ate and whectting~ the atppetite. So it swith the simpli~e games, such as Cro Iuet. It is not gmbling, but it is at >repartl ion for it. It is, a process of ocntal au'ni oral education which af- ja e a while mtav demiandt something t ronzer. All who drink wvine dlo not econite drunkards, and ail who indulge n these simopIe gaones do not hieeotme ~amlers: biut the taste inspired, like a areless spark. mat:y leadt to a dreadful onflagration. n This is a gambling age. The tenden-J v of the times is in this direction, and ose who are intliuenitial aure respon.si he in a large measure for public morals, d should not be careless in directing ublic taste and practice. :3. The example of gaming is perni ios. If age and pliety encourage idle ursuits, thoughtless youth will follow ~ithout tihe same diseretion, and the tste once engendered is e:asilv tramns ~rredi from one claiss of games to ano cr. FTe noxious seedl carelessly wn, will, without cultivation, produce F fearful harvest. 4. Religious studlents place them ?lves in a false attitude when they in ulge in games for relaxation, for it is significant fact that but few close stu ents engage in them. The great mass f players are persons who do not apply ' teir minds to books, and wvho play to L ill time andl prevent ennui. These ames are much better adapted to idlers tan students, and these take refuge n eder the wings of a few religious per- B >ns who study hard and relax their tinds by indulging in them. HENRY M.
