Under the late Act of the Legislature, the busiuesa on the Sessions side of the Court may be carried on as usual.? The Common l'leas business, witli the exception <>t cases founded upon toils, remain iu abeyance until Spring Wo understand that in those District* where the Court has recently been lirld, the State's business on hand, with the exception of capita. ca.-es, has been turned over to the District Cuuits, soon to be organized. It is oar beLe/ that these District Courts will prove to be lie greatest lolly of which the I.egisla'ure of Srjtb Carolina has ever been guilty. We propose to show iu sonic future issue of this paper that they arc useless appendages to the Judiciary of theiitnte; that the Stipeiior Courts are ample | for the discharge of all the business ot which I the District Courts will have jurisdiction ; that I the latter are created ut sit expense wlileh the j impoverished eonditi mi ol the State and people J can illy btl'ord ; that their tendency will be to 1 multiply litigation, lower the Judicial errnineof the Commonwealth, and will be of no real advantage to anybody, except, possibly, the law ycrs and its own officers. Thad. Stevens' Platform. Hon. ThadtJeus Stevens made a speech to liis cooslituerits, recently, at Bedford Pennsylvania in uthi^h l?? J i cbsracteristicaily Iris vtnomoui doctrine* of confiscation and negro equality in the Southern Stitea, For the banefit of our readers who are uohcjtainted with the platform of the Rtdictl party, we make the following iTnoptit: 1. Ite intends that Congress shall pass laws overthrowing and discarding tins present State government* in the United States, as utterly illegal ?and providing governmenta for them a* conquered province*? tixing the qualifica* thin* ot voters and requiring universal ut'gro , ?utl'i age. 2. lie intend* that Congress shall pa** law* l>y which "a su'ticient land shall be levied out of the property of the southern people to pay the expense* and daimgea Of the war.' 1. lie intend* to force on Congress to give homesteads and the right to vote to all the colored men who fought in the Union armies.? This is also to come out of the property of Southern people. J. That thq southern people have no rights whatever?that they can claim nothing whatever un ler the Constitution It need not look to see what powers arc conferred upon it by the Constitution. Its own will is !i* only law) that it has all the rights of a conqueror?that the livks, fortunes, property, rights, innnuni ties?everything belonging to the rebe'hous section?are at its absolute disposal. That the Constitution has not only beeu changed, but abolished by tho war. Was there ever anything in secession to compare with these monstrous doe trines. If they are true, then success in a war to p at down rebellion, utterly de stroys the Government of the conqueror, and overthrows the Constitution rebelled against. These doctrines may sound vsJLsnurd to us, and we may fear no danger of their speedy execution, yet they are deliberatei ly put forward as the programme of the Radical party?of which Xir. Stevens is <1.. 1 1 ?:.L ?..W ... nuoniV'l^gil liriU, Willi C 011 11' I C fl C? of sue n>a. That they will rnssa nil their available power to further these designs, cannot he doubled with the lights that are now before us.
