Th? .ppliOation waa baaed ?poa tb?
ground thar the tel of Assembly au?
thorising tba appointment of magis?
trates with juriediotion,, euch as ia given
by that ?ot, ie in violation of the eon
?titotlOTj of this State. -
It was contended at the argument
that the act rofe ired to was-violative of
divers provisions of tho Constitution j
bat from the view whioh I have taken,
it will only bo ttoceatary to advert to a
single one.
Tho first section ol article 4th pro?
vide?: ''The judicial power of this
State shalt be vested in ? Supreme
Coort j in two Circuit Courts, to wit: a
Court of Common Pleas bating civil
jurisdiction and a Court of G?n?ral.Sea?
??008 with criminal jurisdiction only;
in Probate Courts ; and tn Justice* of
the Paaoe. Tba General Assembly may
l?so establish such'munioipil and other
inferior cooria aa may be deemed ne?
jessary." Tho twenty-first section of
the aame artiole declares that('a compe?
tent Bamber of Justices of the Pence
thal! be oboaen in each county, by the
?ualified electors thereof, in suob man?
ier aa the General Assembly may di
'oct They shall hold their offices for
i term of two years, and until their
luoeessore ar? elected and qualified.
They shall reside/' ko., "and bo . com
nissioned by the Governor."
Tho twenty-second section of artiole
Ith defines tba jurisdiction of Justices :
Justices of the Peace, individually, or
wo or more of them, jointly, aa the
?eneral Assembly may direct, have on
final jurisdiction in oases of bastardy,
nd in all matters of contract nnd ac>
ions for the recovery of fines and for?
aitures whero the amount olaiined does
ot exceed ono hundred dollars, and
uoh jurisdiction as may bo provided by
iw in notions ex delicto where the delu?
ges claimed do nut exceed ono hundred
ollara, and prosecutions for assault,"
nd so forth.
Thus, by tbe constitution, the juris
iction of Justices of the Peace is de?
ned, the source from whence they
ball receive their power is pointed out,
ad the tenure of their office is declared.
If we recur to the legislative not in
uestion, it will be found that the
irisdiotion conferred upon the Magis
atca is precisely that given by the
institution to Justices of the Peace,
ccept the amount numed in the net is
E)9 instead of 8100, and that the court
ttablished by that act is a substitute
ir that provided by the constitution,
ho first section of the act expressly
solares that "until the organization of
ie courts contemplated by sections
I, 2? and 23 of article 4th of the con
itution. tho Governor is hereby
ithorized, empowered and required to
>poiot a suitable number of fit aud
?acreet persons in eaoh county to act
i Magistrates of such county.
Here, thou, we have officers unknown
the constitution, not eleoted by tho
?opie, without a fixed term of office,
>pointedand removed at tho will of the
xecutive, administering that jurisdio*
DU conferred by the constitution upon
isticea of the Peace, who aro eleoted
r the peoplo, and have a fixed firm of
Bee indopeudont of the Executive.
It is constitutional for thc Legislature
mako this substitution? Can that
idy so ohange the orgatiio law of the
nd? Io my opinion they cannot, and
0 act by whioh the attempt has beeu
ade is in plain violatiou of thc con?
fution.
1^ follows that the Magistrate had no
risdiction in this case, and the Sheriff
d officers noting under or by virtue of
s authority are hereby restrained
>in carrying the said judgment into
coution.

It is now msnifeat that the agrioul
uralist of thia section cannot continue
he use of commercial fertilizers at the
>rcsent ruling prices. There must and
hould be a greater equality between the
irofits realised by the manipulators of
hese manures snd the plsntor or
iroducer of cotton. The truth is, that
rith cotton even at thirty cents, and
rith the most successful planting
trainable under existing circumstances,
he greater profi$ derived from the
rowth of tho great stsple is realized
y the manipulators of the fertilisers
hat have been employed in its produc?
ion. With cotton at twenty cents, the
isparity is of course greater; but with
tie prospect of still lower prioes, or, ??th
rices considerably lower, as now seems
) be the prospect, to pay for commercial
irtilizers at the prices now demanded
>r them, must prove nothing less than
linous to tho planter.
If the information at hand be correct,
ie profits derived from the manipula
on of the phosphates and other ferti
zer* now sold, is simply enormous,
nthusiasm in their behalf, and sn ear*
cst and legitimate purpose to realize
te advantages in increased yield to the
nd and labor and other capital em
toyed, which are the results of a judi
lous system of feeding thc soil, has so
roduoed and excited demand for them,
tat, tho present year, even at tho high
id disproportionate prices demanded,
some instances tho supply lins not
?en commensurate with the demand,
he cry was still for more. Tho result
' this, as previously intimated, may be
s?st rous to tho country. lu fact,
lould there bo any considerable failure
' the crop or dropping of prices (one
the other of which would seem to be
evitable, because, if thero bo an aver
;c orop from the increased area in
titivation, the price must fall) thon a
ry large and ruinous portion of tts
oceeds must go to pay for tho fcrtili.
rs which have been used, and to a
eat extent bought on credit. If this
ould bo so, and tho great scarcity and
gh price of oom, and inability to buy
whioh must be tho result, be coosid
ed, it will be soen that tho condition
our country must bo deplorable
deed. And tho rosalt will bo attribu
blo entirely to th? extravagant prioes
id for the large quantity of eoinmor
tl manures used and tho absorbing
tention given to cotton.
In any evont-whother tho prion of
Mon advaooe or fall, or remain even as
now rulos-foreign fertilizers must be
eapeoed. Aud. it would bo well for
r planting community to see the
Bculties and complications whioh aro

We have no doubt, that in the rage

It ie of gre?! inporta oce to tte, throngh
history, to study the manners of the
diflorcut estions, their lews and cus?
toms, character, disposition, Uloola,
virtues and gea i us. 8uch indeed should
be the object of tho study of ?noient
history ai to bring in review before a?
the several governments of the world,
and the great men who supported or
opposed them, having before os their
examples, the regulation? of policy,
and principle? of oivil government.
We acquire also a knowledge of the
manner in whieh the sciences and art?
were invented, ?nd perceive, with ad?
miration, the greater perfeotion of the
?rta aod sciences in those countries
where the pons of Noah dwelt. We per?
?oive the greatness of the Almighty, bia
power, his justice and the wisdom with
whieh he governs the universe. Wo per..*
oeive that He alone determines the fate
of kings ?nd the duration of empires ;
disposes all events as supreme Lord and
Sovereign.
And although the Almighty seems to
bave dovoted his attention more particu?
larly to one nation, his "beloved people,"
ret is would be an error too inj urious to
His supreme meroy to suppose him Lord
>f one nation only. Wo see his mighty
trna and heavenly wisdom controlling
md direoting all the events and affairs
)f the entire universe, for bis own mys
?rions and wise purposes. The monarohs
)f the earth bia instruments, war, fa
nine and pestilenoo instruments of pun?
shment and signals ot divine wrath-in
he rise and fall of empires we see and
loknowledge his might, we read and
?ow in humility before the glorious
najesty of his presence, clothed in all
tis kingly attributes. .
While some princes have been the
optruments of his vengeance, others
lave been the d?sponcers of bis goodness
nd meroy.
We cannot refrain from here assert
ng, that in the scriptures we find repre
ented the true glory of regal power.
Ve are induced to give the honor and
everence due to it. The monarehal form
f government is given under the iutago
I a ?very large and strong tree, whose
Dp rcachesito heaven and whose braoohes
ztend to the extremities of the earth/'
<ike the sturdy oak, it resists the storms
f wind and rain, and the blasts of time,
bettering millions beneath its kingly
ranches.
But to return to our sobjeot. It will
e readily seen that apart from the vast
and of important information acquired
i the study of ancient history, there is
ngendered in tbe heart of the student
profound reverence for, and faith in,
tie revealed religion of Qod.
Having disposed of ancient, we will
ow take up modern history, and au
;mpt to show the equal, if not greater,
nportance of the latter, and the indis
utable claims it bas upon the student.
Modern history- really takes its ori?
ta from about the sixteenth eentury,
aeval with the Reformation, which inc?
reases our mind with the simile of a
rook, whieh having taken its origin
rom a solitary spring, murmurs on its
ey, yet subject to sad disturbances,
util it inoreases to ? mighty river,
hose volume sweeps everything before
?-imperfeotions, impurities, gross au
erstitution, everything-oleanaing the
mire oivilized world, and beoomes one
rand ocean of reform.
But we are again digressing. Modern
?story is important to ?how us the
nprovements upon the ancient systems
f government and policy-to show
herein mankind has takon advantage
T, and been benefited by, the example
f those men and govern tn en ts that
ave risen, flourished and fallen, before
ir day.
It ia of absolute importance that we
tould be thoroughly acquainted with
te basis, establishment and form of our
?n government and of that of others.
And to train females for the respon
ble positions they must ultimately
soapy in life, too much stress cannot
3 laid upon the nil-important study of
iatory. First among theae positions la
