TELE TRIAL JUSTICES ACT. Two protests bftvc been pre routed in the House Against tb Trial Justices -Act, a synopsis o which wo gavo in our last issue The pvt)tests are signed by the lead ing Democrats of that body, an< let forth the vevy grave objection founded upon the unconstitutional] of the measure. It is shown to b in violation of Section 21st of Arti cle IY, which -provides that, "J competent number of jusflces c the peacc ana constctoies eiinu u choscu, in cach county, by tli qualified electors thereof, in sue manner as the General Assotubl may direct;" and also in direc violation of. Article 8 of the Coi; stitution, which makes the onl provision for the removaj of an oifi cer. According to the Constitution fhere are only two ways in whicl an ofllccr can be removed Iron ofiice?one is by impeachment, nrn the other by the Governor, 0:1 tin address of two-thirds of each hous< of the General Assembly, sU.tim at length the cause for which tin _j*cmoval is required: nn<l in al eases the o/Iicer charged shall be admitted to a hearing in his cwi: defence. The power of appoint mint a:i'i removal conferred b\* this Act, i; . thus shown to bo plainly in derogation of these clear provisions oi the constitution.

If there bo a Constitution in South Carolina, it is a lie publican Constitution, ami embodies all tho favorite dogmas of thc-ir creed. If it be worth auy thing at all, it is worth keeping. The Legislature derives from it all- of its legitimate powers. Any power which it cxcrcisos beyond is revolu tionary. ^>o . . A CONFERENCE OF THE PRESS, OB A CONVENTION OF THE PEOPLE. Tiio Charleston News approves tho suggestion of tho Guardian, arid winch has been endorsed by the Courier^ that there, bo a Conference of ilio Tress of the State for ir.e purpose ot discussing the political situation, and securing harmony of views, and concert of .action. The Columbia Phanix suggests a Convent von of the people, mid so does also the Yorkville En, quircr. ' In any point of view the one would be but preliminary to the other.- The action .of the Press would only be advisory, that of the Convention final and conclusive. "Cpon certain points Vc are all agreed?that we mnut ignore dead issues, and address ourselves to a living, active and progressive policy?that we ranst concede civil and political rights iu lurgest measure to the black, man, and unite with him if possible in electing houest and capablc men to otlice. There is however a difference of opinion as to the policy of dropping old party names and party organizations. Upon the first point we need neither Conference nor Convention to secure harmony; would they bo effective now, in reconciling the differences of opinion, which exists V With due detenco to the opinion of onr contemporaries, we thin:< it prematnro ito attempt to adjust differences now, by means of Press n. - ? v^miereneea ot Party Conventions. The difference between ourselves can efctftlt^he adjusted, when the propettfafre'cpmes. What we want ?0w^ji.toXnpw. whether tho l>k\ck man wilt unite with us?wilTgo into iConveptiow ua.
