To the People of the Southern States. The State of Virginia has initiated the noble undertaking of erecting an equestrian statue of General Robert E. Lee on the capital grounds at Rich mond, Virginia; and has committed this trust, by statute, to the care and keeping of a Board of Managers. This board constituting the Lee Mon ument Association, is composed of her Governor, Auditor of Public Accounts and Treasurer, whose names guarantee that this trust will be well discharged. In deference to the fact that the glory of General Lee is the common heritage of our country, the board has signified the desire that all the South ern States shall share in the tribute to him, and propose that all so sbar ing shall, when the tine comes, have an equal voice in awarding the con tract. We, your Senators and Representa tives in the Congress of the United States, being assured that you will not be slow to manifest, by an earn - est and liberal support, your veu eration for the life, character and ser vices of our great chief, express here by our warm sympathy and co-opera-, tion in the effort of the Lee Monu ment Association to consummate this work of love.

We give the following our most hearty endorsement.: The Election of Circuit Judges. To the Senator and Representatives from Greenville County: : The undersigned members of Green ville bar, in view of the fact that you are about to elect Judges to fill the vacancies which the Supreme Court has declared to exist, respectfully pre sent as follows: 1. We think that the positions should be filled by lawyers of ac knowledged legal attainments, and of high moral character. 2. We do not think that a position on the bench should be a reward for political service; but other things be ing equal, we think that those who have been consistent De'mocrats should be preferred to those who, at the eleventh hour, deserted the corrupt Radical party with which they had been for years connected, in order to continue themselves in office. 3. We think that the positions should be filled by lawyers whose character, attainments, social po"sition and general surroundings are such that no lawyer who practices before them, or party litigant would have any just cause to impute the Judge's de cision to partial or impure motives. We therefore express the hope that you will avail yourselves of the opportunity now offered to restore the judiciary of the .State to the high standard, for ability, integrity and experience which distinguished it prior to the late Radical administra tion, and urge upon you that a change be made in the Eighth Circuit, and that a lawyer who has the above qual ifications be elected to fill the va cancy.

The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam Uy Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see nrst page. The Vaeant Judgeships. The Supreme Court did exactly right in declaring the seats of six Judges vacant. They were not clected according to the method prescribed by the Constitution, and the Constitution must be obeyed to the strict letter. The most unfor tunate feature of the affair is that numbers of candidates have sprung up eager to fil the vacancies, and the race for the Bench threatens to become a scramble for office. Politicians, latter day Democrats and third-rate lawyers are aspiring to sit where O'Neall sat; to step from a practice of a thousand dol lars to a salary of three thousand five hundred. And their name is legion. The question now is, not who are candidates, but who are not. Influences are working in this quarter for this man, in that quarter for that one; petitions are being signed and forwarded; clubs meet and recommend; the wires ire laid, the wire-pullers are assign ed their places, and the members of the Legislature are expected to play the part of puppets. The Rich Hill (Chester) Democratic Club informs the Legislature that the efficient services "of Hon. T. J. Mackey in the late campaign enti te him to confidence and gratitude, and that his election to the 6th Circuit will meet the approval, &c. The idea of awarding the judicial ermine for'political services is mon strous in the extreme. But even if such a thing should be done, give it to a man who has stood by his State in her dark days ; who has chosen to suffer affliction with her people rather than enjoy the pleas ures and emoluments of office for a season under Radical administra tion. There are enough such Dem ocratic lawyers in South Carolina to fill all the vacancies--lawyers whose public and private characters are without stain or reproach, and whose legal ability far exceeds that of any Republican Judge whose seat has been made vacant. All thoughts of policy or political re ward are out of place here, and we have no doubt that the Genera] Assembly will rise superior to such considerations. Whatever may be the wishes of one club or one sec tion, the State at large expects the members to do their duty, and to give her Judges whose sole recom mendation is their pre eminent fit ness for the position. The Postal Savings Depository. Representative Waddell, of North Carolina, has introdu. -d a bill in Congress to establish Postal Sav ings Depositories. The general fea tureis of the bill are as follows: The chief office to be at Washing ton, and the Post Master-General o have authority to establish deposi tories at all post offices where the post master's salary is not less than 600. The credit of the United States is to be pledged to the de positor for his money deposited. No person can deposit more than $150 The interest on deposits is to be not more than 3 per cent., and shall, on the 30th day of June and December, be aidded and be come a part of the principal. The plan appears to be a good one. People who count their money by fives and tens and not by thous nds, need some secure place for depositing it. Savings Banks were instituted to meet this want ; but exprience has proved that no re liance can be placed in them. In deed, for a Savings Bank not to fail now, is a rare exception. The Pos tal Savings Depository will have all the conveniences of the Savings Banks without their insecurity. No depositor will feel uneasy while the United States Government stands pledged for his deposit. ' We hope Congress will pass the StldByn Dubt.l ASett l Beynd th Doubt.i The Trial Justiee System. A committee was appointed at I the last session of the Legislature z to devise some means of lessening s the evils of the present Trial Jus tice system. The committee could not agree, and three separate plans were submitted. One was,to retain r the present system of Trial Jus- t tices; the second was to establish I County Courts; the third to in- i crease the number of Circuits and t Circuit Judges to eleven. These I reports were read in the House the , 29th ult. The second plan was I withdrawn. Mr. Simonton, of Charleston, offered the following resolution, which was adopted al most unanimously: "Resolved, That the whole ques tion respecting the trial justice and judiciary system and the measures seeking amendments therein, be re ferred to a committee to be ap pointed by this General Assembly under the provisions of the 3d See tion of the 5th Article of the Con stitution, to revise, digest and ar range under proper heads, the body of our laws, both civil and crimi nal."

Gentlemen of the General Assembly: I take great pleasure in submitting to you a letter from the Hon. Peter Cooper, of New York, proposing to wake a valuable donation to the State and my answer to the venerable phil anthropist is also transmitted for your information. The generous action contemplated by Mr. Cooper deserves grateful reoognition at the hands of the State authorities, and I trust that the General Assembly will express to this gentleman the sense of the deep obligation under which he has placed the people of the State. WiDE HAMPTON, Governor. 162 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, January 12. Hon. Wade Eampton, Governor of South Carolina. SIR : I have been requested by the Hon. Peter Cooper to transmit to you the-foregoing letter of inquiry relative to a plan he has in view of promoting technical as well as rudimentary edu cation in South Carolina. I do so with great pleasure, not only from the fact that it has been my privilege to call his attention to the pressing needs of the youth of South Carolina for such education, but also becauss I have for ten years past at any and all times endeavored to promote the in terests of South Carolina and the other Southern States in every possible way. I am, sir, yours very respectfully, THEODORE BROWNE. NEW YORK, January 12, 1878. Hon. Wade Hampton, Governor of' South Carolina. DFAR 8IR : Allow me to present to you for your consideration, and also that of your Legislature, the follow ing inquiry concerning a donation which, upon conditions, I might make for the benefit of the youth of South Carolina, viz: What are the best conditions on.which the State of South Carolina would .accept the do nation from me of a certain property situated at Limestone Springs, Spar tanburg County, South Carolina, con sisting of the buildings and 100 or more acres of land, and maintain a "Manual labor institution, or a school of sciece and arts," applied to the useful and necessary purposes of life, for young women similar to the branches and pursuits now taught in the Cooper Institute, of New York. If there be any need of an orphan asy lum, this might be included in the general design, -as there are buildings on the estate sufficient for both pur poses. My attention has been di reted by a friend of Southern educa tion to the great needs of the youth of South Carolina for instruction in use ful arts and trades, which, in my opinion, is one of the best methods of securing tbe prosperity of our glorious Union of States, which is my ardent desire. I am, dear sir, yours very respect fully, PETER COOPER, No. 9 Lexington Avenue. EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, COLUMBIA, January 20, 1878. My DEAR SIR : Your letter inform-~ ing me of the munificent donation which you propose to make to this State, in aid of the cause of education has been received, and I beg to ex press my great gratification on ac ount of your generous action in this matter. I will but forestall what will, [ am sure. be the sense of General Assembly, when I tender to you on behalf of the State the most heartfelt thanks for your beneficence. Your communication shall be sub mitted to the Legislature, and its ac bioun in the premises shall at once be transmitted to yc.u. With my own earnest thanks, and the assurance of my respect and es teem, I have the honor to be, Very truly yours, WADE HAMPTON. To PETER COOPER.

It really looks now as if the Demo ratic majority in the House would control the House proceedings. There are indications that on the questions of any reduction, reform in the civil, military and naval service, and in the enforcement of economy in all Govern ment affairs, there will be harmony in the majority. The army will be re duced to.20,000 men and the exorbi tant pay of the higher grades of mili tary officers will be cut down. At the same time, and at a slight total cost, the pay of non-commissioned officers will probably be increased. As the army is now organized, it is a machine for stifling ambition. The places to which men may aspire who enlist in the regular army-the positions of Don-commissioned officers-give little better pay than that of private, while the commissioned officer, to whose grade our enlisted man can never rise -though he might do so in Russia or in any other unrepublican country is paid an extravagant salary. The result is that,, in time of peace, the respectable citizen shuns the army as be would the penitentiary. Anything that is done to correct this evil will be a benefit to the army and the country. Though only 43 out of 65 Senators voted for the Matthews silver resolu tion, lacking one of a two-thirds vote, and six of the absentees were paired, and the sentiments of other Senators absent when the vote was announced are not positively known, the friends af remonetization express no doubt whatever that a remonetization bill will pass the Senate and, it' vetoed, receive a two-thirds vote. In the House such a majority is assured, the vote on the resolution yesterday being 187 for and 76 against. Sincere pleasure will be felt by early every one because of the fact hat the members of the Louisiana Re burning Board are on trial for some of the crimes by which the vote of Lou siana was stolen a year ago. There hould be no hesitation in trying and punishing these men. To be sure the people of Louisiana have secured jus bice so far as her own State Govern nent is concerned-Mr. Hayes having ~raciously given up such plunder as e did not need-but that does not xcuse the villains who perpetrated tie robbery. There should be no re enting. The prosecution should not be dropped, as has been intimated would be the case, but a "necessary witness" has left the State. The wit aess can be found, and if he is not sound the country will be confirmed in a belief that the bargains of which we hear so much were not the patriotic md unselfish measures taken by hon as mn for the good of the country. ernment aid to that road voted for the resolution. Their idea is that the road is a national necessity and that the resolution is a sort of negative en dorsement of the project of giving it Goveinment aid. The same sort of resolution was passed at several pre vious sessions, but has never, so far as I know, saved the Government any money. Yesterday the Supreme Court ren dered a decision of considerable inter est. During the war the Confederate Government confiscated the stock of a chartered company at Charleston, S. C., and sold it. The party owning the stock at the time of its confiscation claims it, on the ground that all acts done in aid of the rebellion were ille gal and of no validity. The Supreme Court sustains that view of the case. Fred. D. Stuart, who died last week in this city, was in some respects a remarkable man, and he will be wide ly and kindly remembered. He held a responsible position in the Wilkes Exploring Expedition to the Antarctic Ocean, was an officer in the Navy during the late war, and was probably the nian best known of late years among the Odd Fellows of the country. He leaves numberless friends and no enemies. Francis Murphy is speaking here nightly to all who can crowd into our largest Hall, and says that his recep tion is warmer than he expected. The ,ewperance revival here of late has been wonderful, and Murphy will find it hard to do better than our own workers have.done. SOLON. Congressional. In the Senate, Jan. 28, Mr. Mc Donald presented the petition of 400 citizens of Indiana, asking for the re peal of the Bankrupt Law. In the House, Mr. Brogden pre sented a bill to regulate appointments to office, and to secure to each State an equal share in proportion to popu lation.
