If such amis fortune should befall our people, w< >shall endeavor to have him attend mor< fpromptKy .to the business of his ottice wid we should use our utmost exertion: to compel him to* .reduce the expense: of our Courts to a reasonable figure^w^tliree.thousand dollars^a.jear, in '^tead of five thousand dollars, - as ai picscni. The Court*dfpensei^w!th i ( in the, conscientious (lis H-oliarg6m the duti his office, in oiu opinion, could easily be^reduced to'-be tween two thousand and twenty-five hundred dollars. We intend to see even with Judge Cooke on tiie uencn that our expenses are reduced to witliii: three thousand dollars a year. We wil thus save to the County treasury twc thousand dollars in cash, besides Hit disappointment and annoyance to ou: citizens in their wasting much valuabh time unprofitably at Court. Cotton-Baggers to be Dealt With. We have been informed that 0111 Grange under the lead of the Maste have organized themselves into a clul for the purpose of regulating oflendinj brethren in the cotton-basr^hicr busi ness, and we have reliable authority fo raying that in other portions of th< County associations are being talked o for the same purpose, by good citizen! of the County, whether members of tin Grange or not. The business of steal l ' ing cotton has got to be stopped by lav t or by violence. If the law fails to pun | ish these offenders they will certainh [ * be dealt with in a summary manner We deprecate violence, but there is j point beyond which endurance will no go. Sale ok a Valuable Plantation ?The Cherry Hill plantation, long tin L residence of Gen. McPutfic, and lat< * the property of Mrs. Charles Pettigrew was sold a few days since by Win. II Parker, Esq.,agent, to Mr. P.P. Cade,o this County, for $4,300. The tract consists of over thirteen hundred acres, lying oi the Savannah River, and has on it f [.mansion once a very fine building, bu now very much out of repair. The lo cation is one of the most beautiful it the up country, and overlooks tlie sur rounding country for miles on botl sides of the Savannah, Jieforethe wai the place was purchased hy Mr. Petti[ grew for $15,000, and since the war ha? t>een held at SS,O0n. At the Commissioners sale some years since it sold foi $5,000. It is a cheap place at ? A Good Worto yon Aubuvit.i.e.? Mr. S. II. Hamuton, who has been canvassing our County as the agent of th? garden nurseries of J. Lindley it Son, ?f Greensboro, X. C., speaks in enthusiastic term* of the hospitality which he has received at the hands of the people of Abbeville. He has been through the different sections of the County and everywhere has been entertained most hospitably, anil except in one or twri instances, without charge. He says that he has never met a better people and perhaps none to equal them, and will always carry with him a remembrance 01 their kindness. He will bu \ back in November to fulfill his orders, _of which due notice will be given in the papers. We are always gratified to publish such complimentary notices, as the iiUUYl*, U1 UUi JJVUJMt;, UIJU UlC IIIU1V il.r we know that thoy are deserved. ? * *> Thk Skating Kink continues to be liberally patronized, and a large company of ladies and gentlemen assembled to witness the exercises on Monday night. There was enough "grand and t lofty tumbling" to give interest to the occasion. Our Junior was in attendance, but was on his best behavior and preferred to bo in the company of the iaaies 10 enjoy me performances tn ouiers than furnish amusement himself. The pupils are making good progress, and seems delighted with the amuse\. raent. We need something at this dull r. season to revive the monotony of our daily Fife. Judge Cooke.?This judicial functionary, who by some unaccountable dispensation of Divine Providence, has been elected to the oftlce of Circuit Judge, it seems, has a good opinion ol his legal learning and his judicial ability. Last winter when the Bill dividing the State of South Carolina iutc two United States Judicial Districts ] was pending ueiore congress, j uugt Cooke, we are informed, immediately applied to one of our Congressmen foi I his influeuce to get himself appointed I Judge of the United States Court in the Western District of South Carolina, i "0 wad some power the giftie gie us.' BP ? While Judge Cooke requires j>rititers to work for half price, or get no job he manages with impunity to waste I five hundred dollars of the people's rnonev-ftt a sinclft Pnnrh For in?tnnr?? in January, lie wasted $o27, and in May be seeks to gain a little notoriety by taking $8 from the printer. Perhaps be. thinks by such acts to divert public attention fron?liis own derelictions, bul it can't be done, and his apologist at Greenwood, with all his ingenuity, can't convince the people that he is not putting his fingers in their eyes when he talks about saving $8 expense on one hand in the publication of the presentment, and on the other hand wastes P$527 in Court expenses, and then says nothing about it. If Jtdqe Cooke should succeed in getting the United States Judgeship ol the Western District of South Carolina, we would like to nominate some of our Trial Justices for the office he now holds, as we have no doubt that wc could name several who would make better Judges than we now have. Foi instance, Trial Justice S. E. Grayden, ol Cokesbury; Trial Justice R. S. Beckhem, of Lowndesville; Trial Justice J Jl. Tarrant, of Greenwood. J" PIC NIC j One of the nicest -Pic- nlfte ^the 3#] 1 son came ofl* at LiJjtrfcy - Church near " iJord<?aux, 011 Friday Jasfc.

Owing to the busy sea* son of the year the attendance was not * so.large as usual here, but this did .not " detract from the plgasure of the day.? "!Here were assembled all the staunch B j citizens, and blooming, matrons of the ,1 2j neighborhood, with a full representa? tion of the young, the gay and. the 4 . beautiful of both sexes. Here we "met s; the Giberts, theTennants.theMoragnes, the Harmons, the Guillebeaus, the Cades, " the Mclntoshes, th'e Cowans, and the ^ Marses, and a bright array of Carolina, 1 and Georgia beauty and many a gallant " young man to play the devoted, and while away the pleasant hours in con"jversation and dancing with his lady;j love. Dancing formed a prominent fea' Iture of fhe enjoyment, and the young; > people all participated with a zest which J 1 nn intermission. Our! 1 j old friotul Capt. Ed. Cowan lent his aid 'jat times to the musicians, and drew his j best bow, with his well known skill.? r At half past one o'clock the dinner was ' j served and such a dinner, we have perj haps never seen. The choicest meats, j the nicest vegetables, the whitest bread, j j the most savory biscuit, delicious cake, land luscious pies were spread out in! ?| varied profusion, and made up an appe-t r ti/.ing feast sufficient to tempt the palate j > {of an epicure. The ladies were iirst! ; served, anil then the gentlemen, and! - j full justice was done to the entertain-! rintent. After dinner, the dancing was! ?!resumed and continued until the com-i fj pany broke up at about five o'clock. 3 At night most of the young people! ; repaired to the residence of Mr. S. R. - Cade, where the dancing was resumed,! ,* and where the well ventilated rooms -land the spacious piazza furnished a pleasant change from the heated per. formances of the School room at Liberty, t! Here the young people seemed to enjoy' t themselves to their fill, and the enjoyment continued until about 1 o'clock in | | I the morning, when the company dis-j _i porsed. > Mrs. Jane Lee who is well known ? for her many good qualities of head ifind heart was nresent and seemed to! . enjoy the i>ie-nic and the society of the f! young people to whom she imparted no 5; little pleasure by the genial sunshine i; ami cliearful.nes.s of her face and heart. t j She was born in May, 1703 and is consequently in her eighty-third year.? i J Her grand-father Peter Morague over! , J one hundred years ago allowed the .

I " 1 Among others at Hie pic-nic we had .(the pleasure of meeting Peter 15. Mo. ragne, Esq., the brother of Mrs. Lee but who is some ten years her junior.?

I When on his death bed in May, 1821, I while in exile on the islaiul of St. Helejna, he said: "If fate had decreed that i I should recover, I would erect a monu-j Iment unon the spot where the wateri j flo\vsKand would crown the fountain ii:| Itestimony of the relief which it has; afforded me." "We were reminded ori | this little circumstance of Napoleon's' appreciation of a spring, on Friday and iSaturday last, when passing the place of! ! Mr. John Watson, where a fountain of 1 pure good water runs out of the rocks in I ! the shade of the trees around. Here was !an abundance of excellent water to Ba-I j tiate the thirst of the wayfaring man, but J there was no cup or dipper from which I to drink. If a dipper with a little chain fastened to the tree at the spring was j put there for strangers, many a grateful i heart would thank the Giverof so good a gift as pure water. I On our return from the pic-nic at Lib erty we stopped, as we always do, for aj ,! little while at Mrs. Clatworthy's where, I we never failed to got a hearty welcome. We have known her all our life, and aj long time ago her boys and ourselves | j were the best friends and we spent! ' i many pleasant hours together, but since than they have gone to their reward, . and we have transferred much of ourj affections to the mother of those whom! we loved so well.

The Press and Manner seems dull o apprehension. It gravely asks, it speaking of the relations oi' the North ern and Southern Presbyterians, "\Yh; should one set of Christians demand o their neighbors that they humble them selves in the dust before them?" The best answer is the following ques tion to the Press and Banner.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ! b :i- Weekly Review of Augusta Market in .r Augusta. Ga., Friday Afternoon, 1 01 X. Jane 11, 1875.^ f a r, general remarks. l/t ie Trade is emphatically dull and beyond the nsual regular trade on a small scale there is absolutely nothing doing. Of course, as we stated last week, nothing la more cau be expected at this seaspjo.. The receipts of cotton have narrowed down to an exceedingly fine point and farmers are staying at home, so that business is mainly confined to the city proper. thk financial situation. I. The financial situation remains in u. Hlalu quo. More people want money 3. than can get it, even when they get colr'( lateral security to make good their prom' ises to pay. We sfciil find a considerate ble difference in the reports of the heads L of our leading banking institutions, n, The President of one informs us that he rt has ample funds in his coffers to disv count all the gilt-edged paper that is e, offered on short time. He does not deVI sire long date paper, and, in fact, has . done nothing on that sort. The dj^aw^; ? has been only fair, the largest apuTtav- : a. tiou during tbft, week b^ing'for seven ( [i( thousand ocllaw, made to day. He has < ;\t in no instance charged a higher rate f) than one per cent, per month ; per con- j tra, tl)e chief officer of another bank | states that money in undoubtedly tight . ir and the demand very active. He has ig discounted but little paper duriug the < ir week, and hardly considers that he was a ablo to do that. There were parties, . however, whom he felt obliged to carry. ss He could readily loan money at one and , i- a quarter per cent, per month, if he had ,n it. He does not expect to do anything ' more in the way of discounting for at < " ,least ten days to come. Gold and Silver , y remain practically unchanged. Stiver has somewhat a downward tendency, on account of the new coinage by the United States Millt. Wequote: < ? gold and silver.

' ?. ' ' VrJ A thrifty Yankeee lias opened a skating rink al-Brightoii. England. M. D. Conway who visited it, thus writes: In front of it stood (it was about 4 iu the afternoon) several scores of carriage * es, with liveried servants, and some of i them marked with devices indicating the prfcence of aristocratic families* i The rink covers about one acre of nerI fectly smooth stone. A fourth of it Is I; divided ott'into what is termed the i; "nursery," being devoted to those who UIC J not lUUlIJJUg. ^\il XIUVC IU - through the "nurseryfor it does not ' follow that the skater ou ice can skate on wheels. On the larger section the scene is most singular. Considerably' ! over a thousand gentlemen and ladiea are gliding about, sometimes .haud in-.' ' ' hand, or arm-in-arm, sometimes tfoe j gentlemen leading backward, as lie J holds both hands of his fair partner and ' I at all times manifesting plainly that '! here is the paradise of flirtation. . The > accidents are fortunately few, for a fall ', on this stone pavement can be r.o slight . ^ i mailer, noieu Dene 01 jongum is at : this moment laid up by an accident &yf?' v ; j fered at the rink. All her upper teeth 1 were pressed through her upper lip, the teeth becoming dislocated, aud she has , I been under the combined attentions of 1 j the surgeon and the dentist for a week. J A second beauty has broke her thumb, and a third her leg; but they arereporti ed to be heroic, feeling that they suffered for a great cause, and complaining ; only thatsome little interval must elapse before they can again tly over the rink. One thing was especially observeable, I thought, that 110 company of English * * i ladies ever appeared out of doors U\ such really beautiful costumes bclore. : It is true that when 1 selected, l>y the invitation of a UriKhton friend, the la I dy that seemed to me the moat beautiful ami the best dressed, 1 was informed she was an American; but the complacency with which 1 learned this did not prevent that these was not an ugly or Mill-dressed women among tlmgal lent six | hundred' There was not a highly coljorefl, not a scnsatiatial, not a "loud" dress among them. The dresses were | short, though not so short as is usual among fair skaters in America, aud I they were all free from any heaviness. There stood on thesidesof the rink looking on a few ladies dressed in the "tight French fashion, which is just beginning to appear among us, but that* : fashion was in strong contrast with the loose t'.raperies of the skaters. if the new fashion should become general over here there will have to be a special skating costume for Brighton, for it is difficult lo see how in the tight style any of those young d:imes could perform the I graceful curve and bravo evolutions I which now excites so much admiration. , I am told that the physicians declare that for siwutary advantages the seaside air and bath are of little importance compared with this new exercise, which it- gradually finding its way to all pla-' ces of resort. The riuk lias already raised the price of real estate in Brigh* foil which has now become the city of (butterflies.
