The Expatriation Question.
The unjust and illiberal poliey of Europ

havo to undorgo amendment and modifient!
This is demanded by tho increasing iutc
genooof the age, and a moro just view of
obligations of citizenship. Thc ridiculous
titudc occupied by Great Britain on this si
jeot, is attributable to an essentially feu
concoptiou of personal allegiance. As r
estato has boon wrested from thc unrensona
clutch of tho barren theories developed
Blackstone and Coke,-so all other fcatu
resulting from or remotely appurtenant to tl
grinding system, must give way boforo t
onward march of enlightenment and ti
progress.
In reference to this matter tho frigid mn
hus of tho common law, rudoly violative
thoy aro of all thoso rights and privilcg
which wo instinctively feel to bo natural ai
inherent, need but to bc repeated to casu
their condemnation. Herc they are, "Net

District Courts.
Ouo Robortsou, who bails from Columbia,
iii a speech Iatoly delivorcd boforo tho Cou?
voution, took ocoa'don to sovoroly animadvert
upon tho .District Courts and thoir judgos.
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.

J. W. Harrison, the able and untiring Presi

will not only explain but will rooommend itself
to every person who has tho substantial good
of this section at heart. Wo earnestly adjure
tho people to heed tho call therein made, to
strain a point, aud gird their loins for a fresh

nullity of a gentleman from tho country, who
mildly requested from our sportsman dam
ages for his shattered wagon and broken har
noss- a demand with which our marksman
goncrously aud good-henrtedly complied.
Fourthly, it furnished an exciting topio of
discussion as to tho numbor of larks it would
require to exhaust a fellow of all his sparo

to tho danger and impropriety of discharging
fire-arms within thc corporate limita of tho

LADIES' EDUCATIONAL SOCIKTY.-Our
.linn ks aro duo tho abovo Sooicty for a com pl i
iioutary tiokot to their tableaux and soooio
roprcsoutatiou on Friday ovouing last. Tho
)bjeot sought to bo effected by this organiza
tion is a most commendable ono, and tho re
mits of their indefatigable exertions is, SO
Far, highly gratifying. In addition to tho
regular contribution of stock, n handsome sum
lias already boon realized by tho efforts of the
Ladies, towards building tho Feuinlo Collogo
at this point. Woro tho performances of less
intrinsic merit, their aim and design would
commoud thom to tho patronage of all those
in our midst who believe iu homo growth nud
ontorprise.
Tho ladies (who are muoh tho best part of
oroation) have boon foromost io this good
work, and wo trust will allow of no abate
mont of zoal until success has crowned their
9xcrtions. On tho occasion referred to wo
wore pleased. Tho iunocont hilarity and
aontagious joyousness of tho lads and lassies
iftcctcd with sympathetic touch, even our
lieart which has grown soiuowhat hardened
by rough contact with a boisterous world and
for a little while wo feel ourself growing young
igaiu. Tho ladies in ohurgc aro entitled to
jrcdit for their energy and tasto.
Tho wardrobo is tasteful and, we suppose
30S?y. The rendition of tho various pieocs
exhibited n just conception of character and
plot.
Tho ? Camp Sceno" was particularly well
lono and elicited, on thc descent of tho our
iain, a hearty round of applause. The little
jills threaded tho witching mazes of tho
lance most gracefully, and reflected credit
lpon their instructress.
Wo shall not soon forget tho lovely and
uniting countenance of tho " veiled Prophet
>f Korassan."
Circumstances urged our departure before
Axe closo of thc performance, but from others
vc loam that general satisfaction was given,
ind complete enjoyment characterized the
woning.
Our friend P. was on hand, and discoursed
i harmony of swoct sounds, without which
'he enjoyment would have boon exceedingly

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. Tho Chairman
said from his losses he could subscribe no
money, but made the very generous offer of
100 acres of land, live miles from Walhalla,
to be appropriated ns tho Commissioners
think proper. Thc petition to tho citizens
of thc County was then read by Mr. Van Di
viro, and left open for subscription.
Mcctinir adjourned.
