The term of the court for Spartanburg closed on (an
S tlurday evening, nhcr a pretty laborious fcssiun. I1"'
during which much business was despatched by
llio indefatigable and amiable Judge O'Neall. No (
cases of special moment to the general reader were u
disposed of on either the civ.I or crint'nnl side of the ,||c
eourt, though ninny of importance to tlio parties ,|in
litigant wi re adjudicated, and some in a way any- G||
thitig but agreeable. As ntaclt business remains a 1
upon the dockets, his honor has ordered an Kxtra j
Court, to begin ott the third Monday in August |U-|
next. With the same energy on the bench, and ((U|.
the same cheerful co o|K ration on the part of the
bar which marked the recent term, we think the jl;n
Clerk's books will then be cleared of old cases. |JU|

Notwiihktandiitg his arduous labors on the bench, ,
extending from U to G o'clock dtiily during the sit- ! '
ting of the court, Judge O'Ncnll found leisure and
strength to deliver two addresses on temperance? j
on Wednesday and Friday nights?one in the ) ,
Methodist Church to the general public; the oth?r . ^
chiefly to the students at Woffbrd College, in the ,
chnptl, where many citizens attended.
On the first Occasion the general subject of tern ! "
pcrnitco sv.'.s presented with the force and seal I j
which h long to litis enthusiastic advocate of total ; Fr
abstinence. He declares for a prohibitory liquor ' riM'
law, na the only icmedy against the misery prodn
eed by sp rits, ami urges upon the people unceasing
effort to induce legislative enactment of such law gel
At the College his remarks were inuinly designed I
for the young men lie was addressing, though ol to i
general application, and were listened to with much 17?
interest. : sec
The long and pun lift of Judge O'Ncull, rich ex- IM

and natural as we thought them, they urc found

vilhout labored protestation) that our nrticlc wu> I
ought to bo mild, candid, and freo from ofFutice. 1
hat it proved otherwise was no'null of ours. We
u alao s iy, in go d conscience, that we have usi<
i secret u>ir open desire fur wrangling, llut to 1
e two |M>intn.
And, first, as to lottery advertisements: Tlie cdi- i
ra of the Express do not ill terms disclaim the in- '
relioo we indicated as d.-duciblc from their pros- !
elus, but express surprise how "aueh intention" ,
no be gathered frotn "their words!" We suppose !
is is intended as a disavowal, though the purpose 1
not fully devt loped, and we must be satisfied. ,
The second p>'int referred to the assertion that |
cir subscription entitled them to the district ad
rtishig. To which we replied, that both pnpcrs '
Wished that class of business by virtue of an ]
rangement betw een the late editor of the Express !
d ourselves. This they repudiate with an ncerv
which wo will not imitate. We prefer our '
t
3 to be yea, and our n?v nay. I
Now, we really thought we had s'nted n literal i
>t; but, if our mentors are right, we were labor- 1
f under ''mental hallucination." Apprehensive
our error from so confident au assertion of our j
ighboi s, and that our "uncancelled arrangement" *

either side. Ccitainly it did not warrant sneh I1
how of temper as effervesced in tins connection,
forbearing to touch other points made protniit

Should Texas and (California eaeh be divided into *

Idiesc calculatioiis serve to convey an idea of the 4

lukes of nil these the grossest perversions, or runs
ihwart them as ot no uulhority whatever, but it also
dieules and deiiounei-s those who interpret these
hvine teaching according to their plain and obvin*
meaning, and act in uecordanee with their in
nciions.
Recently it has heen regaling those of like tastes

ie "IJnpulilisln-d History of Slavery," in which

- w ' -wv
by ?boir Ml and thstr disposition toward tbs lew
which he then and there delivered ?and the deck ions
in then days given under it?it m but fair to
conclude that their anti-barbarian feeling* would
have been great!/ allocked; that an indigoulion
meeting would have been called at the foot of the
mountain; that, through their denunciation of :ha
law, they would hare liurhd their contempt at the
Lairgiter?Jehovah though he waa; and then, in
a fit ol holy horror, have retired from thai scene of
atrocity and outrage! And Muse#. had be iu any
case passed aenteiico under that law?and then,
had he, "colibloodid" and bloody "barbarian," attempted
to officiate publicly aa expounder of the law*
of their worship and government?the "modern
red sensibilities" of those "higher-law" humanitarian*
would have been :ia deeply wounded na they
now are* at seeing Judge Holler ill the I oiled
States Senate,and Judge O'Ncall an active and
lionorcd official member of the great Temperance
Union, and also of that noble iM-titulion the American
Hible Society. And licte it is proper to remark,
that the announcement of this latter fact in the /few
V-irk papers, the election and the acceptance of the
lion. John Helton O'Ncall a* Vice President of said
So< icty, appears to have been the immediate cause
of the present ri?urrectioc of the John L Drown
ease, and the publication, at this late day, of all
those hitherto "unpublished" d<K-urnents! The ob
ject aimed at is. In show that the a nd Societies are
e-olitaniilisted and dmgrnecd by connection with the
"cold-blooded barbarian" who passed a si uience in
perfect aeeordanee with the Divine law, and the law
of the State in which he has long and honorably
officiated as Judgr!
A query, however, arises here, which it certainly
becomes Abohtiondom to solve, ilow is it commendable
in the Hible Society to put into circulation,
far mid wide, both among christian nations
and outside barbarians, a book which contains laws I
at ? nee shocking to humanity, and for pissing sen- j
tetice under which it is declared that a large portion
of the christian world have heaped deliuncia- j
t ons upon the head of one of our moot eminent
Judges?yea! and after thirteen years of "Time's j
abating process," men still turn nwny in horror from ,
the <lei df Tills, this is the question for the "shriek- I
rr?" lO solve!
Hut now that th<?o "unpublished" documents |
have been re dug up and re-paraded before the
public?now. also, that the law of God, the God of
