As we uuder.?land thoi situation, the Imihliiu; committee liayol on hand, or in good subscriptions abauM ?4,5(>0 with '.xliieh to erect a houso ofl worship. This sum we deem entirely ir.adcqt nt* to build such a church naj should be built at Duo West. The times nre too hard just now to make further M^plication for aid to the membership or i to friends, and, in consequence of the J liard times there will he tho greatest deYnand for the money on hand. Then let the building committee, under advice und consent of the proper authorities or j persons most interested, loan this money on Gist clas* security, for a term of years,. say for three years or longer, and let t lie annual interest be eollerted, and loaned t out in the same way. At tlie end of; throe or live years tho present sum, Avould lie greatly increased by interest! then another call could bo made on their friends f<?r further aid to build their. Iiouse of worship. In case of another r.iihire to raise tlie full amount, the building could he deferred a little longer, a lit* ??au 1 rl 1 \r* nn<l in* muiu ?twiu<i ??v x.t , other contributions to the pile would enable our friends to put up, what tliev! ought to li.ive. a speiulid church building.; tone West is the head centre of the denomination. and it is a plaeo to which every other congregation looks for exam- j pie. It is an educational centre, and for this reason, it is the place, above all others, upon which the eyes of all classes' and conditions of men in Abbeville' County look with more interest and pride than to anv other. For these and many other reasons IHie West should ?:ave a line church, a building which Would surpass any structure of the kind in the up-country. They should not think of laying the corner stone until twenty thousand dollars are in hand, and then they should not commence until the best architects in the country are consulted. The church should be a fashionable one. Sinner and saint can worship better in a fine hous.\ The adv incennnt of religion and Christianity is a practical work, and a magnificent structure would be more promotive of that end than would be a barn. Due West has many tine buildings, A ...? c an Iir> nwtnn U'liw vhrmlil not ??u ogv ??\? IVU.1-/.I .. ..J have a magnificent church, built on tho latest style of architecture. Heretofore the plainest building in the town lias been theehuroh. Now let them build tin elegant house in honor of the Lord Vrhom tbev worship so devoutly. \ltrrations to the Court Honse. His Honor Judge Hudson is a practical man, as evinced by his conduct of tho Court, and by his practical suggestions as t-> needed changes on the C'o'irt House buildin<r. He snprsests that the stops bo 7>ut up on the otitsid; to land on a piazza rt front of the Court Room, and that the waste space *n each side of the hall, vlown-stairs and up-stairs, he converted Into office", which are needed. Then the cryer of the Court won Id not be in the Court Roo-n wljile callinc jurors, witnesses. or otliT persons. As the buildincr now stands, the constable who calls C'?urt, stands immediately in front of the Judee, within the same walls, with only a partition bettveen them, in which is a laree door constantly open. As the constable who calls witnesses is not a ventriloquist his voice fills the Court Room with a mnMcal sound while the Court is deliberating on the matters at issue?this top, despite the fact that he cranes his hea<font of the window, and around tho corner, to the extent of his ability. The Jrid'-'C also recommends that a tow cr be built, which should M surmounted by a town clock, from which the Court and all persons interested should take the time of day. The practical results from this latter snirsrestion is readily to be seen. and witnesses, juror?, plaintifl's, defendants, and fonrt officials need have no excuse for delaying the Court by their flhson?*p under a plea of mistake 01 ignorance as to time. -Another suggestion of his Honor was tovcntillate tiie hntiding better, so that the comfort and health of spectators nmy not. he injured. i< To nil of the smrsr^stions of tho.Tndire , we readily assent. The rhantresare needed and it is the part of wisdom for the Comity Commissioners to give the matter their consideration. Theeost would not 9 he greaK in comparison to the advan-; tiir?s. The necessities of the situation Remand that these changes should be made. At present the grand jury havo | Tio room of their own for the deliberations of that body. The Clerk of the Court n^eds another room. The Probate JUflirO HISO need* ail aumuonni ninm. Let the work 1 ?r? done. The cost will he , "little. Four rooms?two down-stairs and two tip-stairs?ran l>o added for a very' small co?t. The tower and the eloek will add hut little more to the cost. Abbeville; <*omitv is able and willincr to finish the: splendid structure, in order that we may utilize the valuable spac which is now! wasted, and in order thnt the noise in the ball, and the sound of the crier's voice. may not disturb the Court. ? The Xortocs Occupy the Court Ivoom.; We hear complaint that the colored 1 | ~ people almost crowdrd the white people: out of the Court Room at the recent term of the Court. The colored people on j notne occasions occupying hilly three-j fourths of the auditorium. Heretofore the Court Room has hoon equally divided j bv common consent-the colored people! taking the left side of the aisle and the white people oecupvinsr the right side While no one would deny the colored i people the right to sit in Court, and no one has ever objected to their havinc half the house, yet there are now complaints that they excluded their white brethren | from the sittings of the Court. We take . it that it was an oversight on the part of . the colored people, and bcucve mar mov i did not intend to occupy the seats, which j by common consent, had been allowed for their white neighbors. As a rule the colored people of thiscouutv are polite j and respectful to everybody, and we I know that they intended no disrrspect, nnd had no idea of excluding Their white neighbors from the Court IIoom. If the j matter should come to their attention we, venture to say for them, that they will not again occupy a seat which by rieht, belongs to others. Their pride and selfrespect would not allow them to do so. Whatever else may lie said of the colored ! peopleof Abbeville county, we have nev- j er hoard them charged with impoliteness: ti either their own race or ours. We are; mire that no colored mnn intended to be disagreeable. While on this subject, tho colored people will pardon lis fcr suggesting that the Court room is not. at all times the best; place for their wives and daughters. Tho more congregating of a {treat maw of men, women, and children in the Court room of itself is not to bo commended, and then the evidence in the trial of some criminal cases, i< snob that modo^t wo- | _ men and good little children, are not benefitted by being present. We give place to a letter from Maj. B. F. Whitner. It speaks for itself. He claims that we did him injustice, ns to the amount which wo published of his argument. The statement of the ease we understood to be common to both lawyers in the eoiitest. A-fter that the space given to Mr. Nonet and Mr. Whitner is not very different.' With the present publication Mnj. Whitner certainly is ahead. The argument of the gentlemen in this rnsfe have been very grjinr*llv re:id. and with much iutf,re.?t. ton. We thought it wruiM be JotercMlng metier, but ve are ri-W 'p s -o ?- much interest in it.

In :ni inters Mins anil iiiMnirtUe article on tli?''l.nw of I.!l?l.'v piihlUlu'il In tlie American Journalist, the writer, Frank W. Peebles, [ mii s : It has heed stated Tlmt It if not necessary to show n malicious motive in a publication to sustain an nation of lib"!. The ijcneral exceplion 1? where the matter treated of is of pnt>lic inicicit and "enerai concern." Of suoh matters every one ba< a rinht to comment,' provided he does ? > fairly, and with an linn-' est purpose. Such comments are not libel-' iiii--, however severe In their terms, unless ihey are written intern pcrutely an<l maliciously. Every cltiz-n has full freedom of speech on Mich snhjects. hut he must, not abnse It. Fair ami honest criticism of matters of public concern Is denominate)^ "privilcjrCrtli<i?m iltTer" from defamation In the followinir part Icnlars: 1. Criticism de-iN only with such thin?* as Invl/c public attuntion, or call for public comment. | J Criticism n?ver attnehs the Individual,' but only his work. In everv case the attack Is on a man's acts, or on some thine. and not upon the man himself, A true critic never indulges in personalities. :i True criticism ivvcr Imputes or Insinuates dishonorable motives, unless Justice ati-1 sotntcly requires it, and then only on the I clearest proofs. I The critic never takes advantage of the occasion to en.tl'v private malic", or to at-j tain any other oblcet beyond the fair discus-; slon of mntters of public interest and the ju-,' dlcions guidance of the public taste. All comments hum oo lairano uoufst mai- 1 tors of public Interest. and must be discussed temperately. Wlckofl and corrupt motives! should never ho wantonly asslcnoJ. And it. j will lie n>> defence that, the writer, at Ihe time lie wrote, honestly believed In the truth of: the oiiartres h<? was making. IT snob charges ho made re -klos-ily, unreasonably, ami without; any foundation in fact. Some people an-! very credulous, especially in politics; and can readily believe any evil of their oppo-j nont?. There mu?t, therefore. be some foun-1 dation.in fact, for the charges made; the! writer must brlnu to bis task some degree of moderation and Judgment. Slight. unintentional errors, on the other I hand will be excused. Ifa writer in the' course of temperate and legitimate criticism j falls Into error as to some detail, or draw* an : Incorrect inference from the facts before him, j and thus goes beyond the limit of strict truth, i such Inaeeum'-los will not cause Judgment to I co against him. If the Jury are satisfied, after I reading the whole publication, that It was I written honestly, fairly.and with regard to' what truth ?nd justice require. ]t is not to be; expected that a public journalist will always j be infallible. Hut the critic must confine himself to the; merits of the work before him. lie must not J follow the plaintiff Into his domestic life or i attack his private character, lie must care-] fully examine the production before him, and ; th"ii honestly state his true opinion of it. The public conduct of every public man is a ! mutter of public concern. Baron Uramwcll, j In Kelly v. Sherlock, says : "A clergyman with bis tlock, an admiral | with his fleet, a general with his army, and a | Judge with bi? Jury, are nil subjects of public 'discussion. Whoever Mis a public position! renders himself open thereto. He must no coptan attack as n necessary, though unpleasant, appendage to liis otllce." "Death Warrants." The following decision by the Supreme; Court of Georgia, taken from the Atlanta Om-1 ttitutinn, In reference to tlio liability of Railroads for accidents and injures where the etn- j ployees have sitrned the so-ealled "death wr.r-; rants" has a general interest, among: railroad . men. as well in Carolina as Georgia, declaring j them contrary to public policy and void, a \ principal of universal affliction. We doubt! not but the same documents exist in this State. The case Is as follows: In l^SOa brak^man named Cook fell from a car ladder at the Chattahoochee river and was run over and killed. His widow, Mrs. Ktnnm I,. Cook, brought sull,and thedeaHi warrant! dulv slsrned bv herself ami her husband and ! by Governor Brown, as President ot the company, was produced In Court. The death warrant reeltcd th<?t : "In consideration that thesald Western and ; Atlantic railroad fomnany will hire and pay ' him the wages stipulated, which Is more than < he can get elsewhere, he will take upon him- j self all rNk conneet"d with or accident toany position on the road, which he may from time to time occunv. and will in no case hold the I, company liable for any Injury or damnje he ( may sustain. while employed on the road. In his person or otherwise by what are ea'led accidents or collisions on the trains or road or which may result from the negligence. carelessness or misconduct of himself or any other employes or persons connected with said road or in (lie services of said company or for 1 any oth?*r course whatever." The document contained an agreement < ft lined by the wife not to sue In case of accl- 1 dent to her husband. i Conk was climbing a ladder to get to his i brake when he fell and was run over and kill- i ed. The accident occurred near the Chatta- ] hoochce river In October. lssa i Mrs. Cook brought suit in Whitfield Rnpe- i rior Court and was awarded a verdict of Sfi.'Ht). A new trial was secured nnd the verdict was i made St.GOO. The Judge non-suited the case on th? ground thnt It wasn't shown that Cook \ms blameless. The ease was taken to the Supreme four' bv Mrs. Cook. Thp decision was rendered yesterday.! The Surname Court reversed the ruling of the ! Court below, holding that the question ot I damage* or negligence was one for the Jury, rind f>at thcirflndingsbould not be disturbed. The Supreme Court held that nn employoofl a raflrond company mlirht by eontraet. waive ! his right to Mie for Injuries notarising from) criminal negligence on tlie part, of the com-I" pany or its other employes, hnt any negll-11 Kcnee. either of omission or of commission, 1 on the part of the other employes of the road, | In connection with theirbusiness. from which | serious injury reunited. constituted crimlnnl 1 negliaence, and that the waiving of the rlsrht 1 sue for injuries resulting therefrom was con-J1 trtry to public policy and void. This is the first decision of the Supreme j i Court, under the Invv of JS7<5. defining crlml nnt nfgll'-'enee. Two previous decisions were different, but the Court held that since then (he r,egisiatu"e ha< parsed an act- (In lSTfi) | which supplies tlio irround for recovery.) which was wanting in the two eases referred ,, to. !, ? A lending minister of the <?ospel, in the! interior of I'ensyivania, recently wrote to the !, PiiilmUlphift Timr.i to a*-k why that journal j dltl not vigorously attack and condemn what! the writer termed "the present depraved and ! vicious status of tlie American stage?" In !: answer, the Timrx among other things says: | "The reputable public journal recognizes' the fact that the 'American stage' Is with us, audit will remain while the press and thej pulpit remain as factors in our civilization.) To attempt to abolish If, would be simply] baying the moon. It has been a feature of every civiliaHon of history and has been one i of the agents for Hie dissemination of Christianity. And It has ever been Just as eleva j ted or degraded as theci vllizatlon of the time.) I.Ike the pulpit and the press, the stasre has always been a reflex or 1 he people. Pulpit,] press and stage have been corrupted by cor-t rupt civilizations, and when corrupted, the! pulpit and the press have i>oen the most dan-: serous, because they are the assumed censors of licentiousness. The stage Is one of the in- ! tesral rarts of our social system, and it. with remain n.nri I because it appeals t'? the sense, tiie sentiment. and all tiiebest and file worst tastes of man-! kind. The best Journals of this nnd every other enlightened civilization treat the stage as one , of the Important agent oof progress. Belngan- > eeeeptedand irrepressible element of our civ (ligation. and being capable of vast good or evil.it becomes the plain duty of the public! jonrnai.es the censor of all agents designed "to elevate or degrade society, to discuss it, erltieise It, comniend it when good, condemn it when had, and bring it under the caleiutn : Tightof the growing intelligence and morali-, ty of the ago. I.et it not bo forgotten that the three great teachers of to day are the pulpit,1 the pre** and the stage, and of the three the pulpit Instructs the least In numher, and the1 press the greatest: and all are agents for good or for evil in their respective channels, as they are pure or defiled, '('lie stage lias the greatest temptation to prostitute its power,, aiul it lias been made greatly better by the influence of thereptitable press in restraint of dramatic license. The puMie journal takes tne world as it finds it., an-1 seeks to make itbetter and in that it tills the full measure of its grave public duty." Greemrood, Her Jlailroaks aud the Crops of the County.

Th!s Is Indeed a serious complication, and if we take the results of previous years as a criterion to ; Judge by. we will not be able to unravel it. A change in our system of agriculture is Imperative. and until this fact Is recognized and acted upon we need not expect to witness a I change for. the better. An experience of a quarter of century ought to he sufficient to convince a people of the necessity of a change 1 ot practice, when the results are pressing them to the wall. Would it not be wise to i divert a large proportion of this 8SO.OOO from : cotton, to the production of corn and other ' articles of food, and let. the country resolve ; to secure first of all a bountiful supply tosub, slst on. and alter that as much cotton as may be desired. t ,| The election at Allien for subsrlptlon or no i subscription of S50,<KX) to aid In building the !

"Beautiful thoughts make a beautiful soul.' and a beautiful soul makes a beautiful face." , Once I know a little girl, Very plain: You might try her hair to curl, All In vain ; On her cheek no tint of ro?e I'alcd and blushed, or sought repose; I She was plain. But the thoughts that through her brain (.'iimo and went, j As a recompense for pain Angels sent: So full many a bcautt-ousthiDg, In the young soul blossoming, Give content. Every thought Is full of grace, I'ure and true; And In time the homely face Lovelier grew. With a heavenly radiance bright, From the soul's reflected light Shining through. Shall I toll you. little child. Plain or poor. If your thoughts are undcflled, You are sure Of the loveliness of worth ; And this beauty, not of earth, Will endure. Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine. !

We regret tha* th?! great number of bills handed in for our consideration j does not speak so well for i.he law abiding spirit of our citizens, and believe! that if the law was more rigidly en-, forced there would be far less use for I ^rurid juries hereafter. We take pleasure in congratulating the county ou the efficiency of its olli ' cers. We have examined the offices j and records, and find the same in good ! L-ondition and neatly kept. We did not examine the office of the i Master, the Master being absent ou ae-; count ol sickness. Wi'h the exception of Jmtices M. 1 0. Tolinan and John R. Tarrant, we have examined the books of the Trial Justices of the couuty and find same correct. The above named justices, were absent ou account of sickness. i We find from the Treasurer's report that the funds collected by Trial Justice , J. F. Hodges have not baen turned ' Dver to him. We have, by committee, visited the! county jail and Mud that the prisoners! nre well cared for and the jailer disj charging his duty. We find that the: iail needs some repairs aud would recommend that the whole interior be| whitewashed, the plastering repaired and that an iron bound cell he constructed upon the third floor. We, also, recommend that the stables attached to the jail be moved, the same beiiig in bad condition. We have, by committee, visited the : Poor House aud find everything very neat the paupers properly cared for and the farm in good condition. Complaints have come to us from \ every part of the county as to the bad j condition of the public highways. We ' would State that while the loud law ( may not be perfect, still, in our opin- j ion if properly enforced it would meet t nil the requirements of practical pur- I p-ses. We fear that little attention in, \ paid to its enforcement by those hav- ' itig the matter iu charge, and that in many instances, wheu the hands are f called out to work they meet at nine I or teu o'clock in the morning, walk J ?ver the portion of the road assigned j them, drop a few pine brush here and > there, make a frolic of the day, bull-it doze the overseer and return home at 1 uight feeling that that trouble is over ? with.
