Thero is muoh to bo said, both pro and con, in roforonoo to tho continuance of said Courts, nud until wo have moro light upon tho subject wo hesitate to tako dooided grouuds. At tho oloso of tho war the alteration in tho status of tho negro transferred tho jurisdiction exorcised by tho magistrates over him into tho Courts of Common Pleas and General Ses sions. Tho two sessions per annum of this Court iu oach Distriot of tho Stato wore found to bo insufficient to dispose of tho immense accession of laroonics and other petty misde meanors wrought by tho sudden transfer of jurisdiction, nud" greatly augmented, more over, by tho chaotic condition of tho times, the gouoral prcvalonoo of violence, and tho wo fui depravemont of tho ouco happy and cOn tentcdslavefl. Upon tho nbolishmontof thoDis triot Courts, thc amount of business that will of tioocssity revert to the Courts of Common Pleas "will perfcotly overwhelm them unless provisions is mndo for additional terms. On tho the other hand, it may bo urged and with reason, that tho present system adds greatly to tho aggregate of taxation. Dut that anythiug in tho character or conduct of our judges justifies tho ungracious and unwarran table jnuoodoos of Robertson^ wo have yet to discover. Wc can speak for Dickens, though wc arc yet but o stranger within her borders, that she has been blessed with a judge who is a lawyer, a genial gentleman, and a man of unquestionable probity. This wo learn from his assoointcs at thc bar, and from others who kuow him well. Wc doubt not that an exam ination into thc reputation and qualifications of every District Judge in South Carolina, will expose tho baseness of this assault, and will demonstrate, beyond cavil, that our judg es now as heretofore, aro men of eminent ca pacity, flowing courtesy, aud invincible integ rity in tho dischargo of their fuuetions.

Proceedings of Public Mooting Held in Walhalla on tho 18th inst. On motion of Mr. Vim Diviro, Mr. James A. Doylo was called to tho Chair, and Whit nor Sy minos, Esq., rcquostcd to act as Score? tary. Aftor o fow preliminary romarks by tho Chairman, Maj. Whittier was asked to? explain tho objects of tho meeting, ?feo. Maj. Whither, in u clear and conciso maimer said, a previous informal meeting of tho citizens of tho town of Walhalla, had appointed a Com mittee to solicit subscriptions from those citi zens living within tho corporate limits to ?ecuro the erection of tho publio buildings for^ the new County of Oconcc in thc town. Somo 81,200 or 81,000 had been subscribed !)/([ these citizens. This Committee now desi rous of obtaining the co-operation of their ' friends and citizens without thc incorporation, had convoked this meeting. Thc Committee i did not wish the, additional imposition of J taxation upon tho people, but hoped tho i county would heartily and liberally rcspoud. j Tho claims of tho dormans to have tho I Court Ilouso in their midst were forcibly set forth by Maj. Whither. Gen. Harrison'wa? then called on to address thc inciting. Gen. Harrison in his usu il pleasant way, thought that the qucstiou ahould not be rejected by f reason of it being the not of tho Convention. That thepcoplo for the welfare of tho County nt largo should give it their immediate con sideration. That tho pcoplo who aro to bo benefitted should co-operate heartily, and that every citizen should subscribe willingly ac cording to his means. . The claims of tho Germans were shown by Gen. Harrison, and the unpleasant and pernicious res ul td that would inevitably accrue from thc proximity of two villages. He showed the great facili ties which the judicious and beautiful loca tion of thc town afforded.
