The Court closed its sittings on Tuosday afternoon, after disposinig of what entisos woro on docket. We havo observed in our exchanges somIo sovere animadvrions upon1 the District Court system, as burdening the Stato with a heatvy tax for which 1here is no adequate oquivalent. This scems to us to ho altogother an error. It is absolutoly necessary that mnore tribunals of justico must be es tabilishied, tromt the nature of thte cir coinstances ini which we are now pilac~ ed. ILtiut bto remtombleredl that about four hundred thousanud more inhabi tants in South Carolina haveo rcently been addpd to the nmnbtller of equals in law.

Who Pays the Cotton Tax? Having been led to the conclusion that the cotton producer in Fajrfold. pays the trx of three cents as a pro ducer, or in other words, that the tax is a direcot one and each one pays in proportion to the amount of property in cotton he holds, we are now to no tice another relation sastained by the producer to the income dorived by Government or by trade from the ar ticle of cotton. The first point deserving attention is that every cotton producer in Fair field is also a consumer. This is a point giving rie to considerable con. fusion. The confusion is in confound ing a direct with an indirect tax. There can, however, be no conflieting here. Either the producer pays all the tax, or the consumer does it., An exanple will perhaps best illustrato this proposition. Assuming that froo trade is estab lishod betwoon.the United States and England, the producer would realize a profit upon his cotton equal to the amount be received for it in Liverpool, less the costs of production and trans portation. Of courso that proft would be In proportion to the cost of production vit-h the demand for cot ton. But now suppoe a revenue duty to be imposed to tho amount of three cents a pound. It iI certain that the importer of cotton goods must pay in addition to the profits al lowed by demand, three more cents more ccnts upon his manufactured cotton goods than he othcrwio woul4 have to do. Now if that importer is only a consumer, as for example a planter, ho has of course the revenue to pay upon cotton cloth, and lie only has it to pay. It is true, contingon cios may arise wheu cotton goods may be bought by the consumer and Ie not have the duty to pay, as when a broken merchant is sold out at public out-cry below cost. But suppose in addition to tho tar iff upon cotton goods, a tax of three cents a pound is imposed upon the raw material, which is really now the ease-does the producer pay part of that three cent. and the consumer an other part 1 Is the tax divided be twoon them I or does the producer pay the whole of that tax I Of courso our remarks apply now particularly, to the cotton producer of Fairtiold. They are applicable to what is really the caso hero now, and not to whatmighitbo the case if so and so were true. If cotton producers could control the demand for cotton by controlling its unipply, they cotild thon make the burden of a direct tax of three cents a pound fall upon the consumor. But they have no control whnatever over the domand. A supposable case ofecontrol might arisio under the following circumstan es :If every mill in England and the North were still to-day for the wont of rawv cotton, and every pro ducer in the South and in all other countries where cotton is grown, held the cotton and had no inmmediate use for the money, thon thme cost of prod uc tion, and th'o tax of three cents, as well as a fair profit upon the capital invested in cotton, might be realiznd. But such a ease is not possible, and therefore any additional cost to thme produodr in the wvay of a tax upon the raw material, is that much added to the cost of plroduction, anmd the whole of it must be paid by the producer, without a probable reimbursement by thme consumer. Our remarks are mnado more to draw out discussion upon the subject involved that as a final exposition of the principles in political economy embraced in it. The Newspaper in School. It is a strange and accountable fact th'nt, though newspapors are the in dices in every country whore they thrive, of the progrossof' over'y art and science, of p)hilosophy, of finances, of trade and of practical philosophy, they have never yet been introduced as an important feature in the educa tion of tho young.

A Real Model rarm, From an artiolo published in the Caroliniamn of the 16th, wo find thefol lowing description of the National Model Farm, at Glassnevim, in Ire land. The British Farmer's Magazine in speaking of this school says : "Per hais the most successful example of the capabilities of land under proper manage ment and of the immenso crops which can be raised, may be son no the National Model Farm under the Board of Ed ncation at Glasnovin, noar Dublin. This farm strictly conduct ed on the improved system of green cropping and house-feeding, contains fifty-two acres, and there wmore kept on it during the year, twenty-two head of cattle, and throo horses. It supplies on an averago, ninety persots during the yerr with farm produce, milk, but torl potatoes and vegetables of vari ons kinds, furnishing the farming es tablishnent with pork, bessdes a nuihber of privato families with the above artieles.

Woman. The' grootest opIo poet who 1has written in the E]nglish language uses two superlatives to describe wonian. Sho is the "last best gift to man." Man was mado to onjoy intelloutual, social nud domestic life. In the first, ho goes within himself for material of enjoymoit ; in th second, abroad in tile world, lhe finds a field for the ex eroise of socialiky ; but in the family, at hisown fireside, is drawn out ii full play those tender, afiect.ionate, and soul-delighting faculties with which the Creator bansendowed him. The union of hearts, is simiply the consumimation of e natural' teldon cy of the hearts ta' man and woman. This tendency is to sook "a help met." If the coalition Is not sus cptible of all tile qualifying torus doseriptive of the tenderost affection, It is often owing mot-e to tile frailties of fallen' hunan nature, than Q to a deliberate purpose to produce a rip plo upon the tranquil surface of its )eacOful bosom.

With rapid stridos the unfortunate Southern StAtes are getting back to the days of tyranny and oppremsion which sorely afflicted them just after their surrender. But it is not be cause they are doing anything to re mand them baek'to the prison house of tyrannical rule. Deliberately, per sistently and vindictively, the Radit cals in Congress are dragging them. back. Read again the bill published in-the NrEsof the 14th, called the Stovens' bill, which forces us of the South under arbitrary military rule. That bill since. then published has passed the IHouse by a large majority. No doubt it will be vetoed, but' what signifies that 7 It is no use to repine howevor. The only romedy, tile only relief be fore the people of the South, is to cul tivato the soil with firm onergy, and be considerate and forbearing to wards one another. There is no question about It, there ought to be an experiment tried once at least of raising not one pound of cotton ex cept for home use. It migh prove somlewhat of a self-.defonoe. It is cor t ainly tile only hope of any defenco, though its trial is almost wholly imn probable, Qen. Garibaldi. "lHe thlat hlath ears t'o bear, lot iml hear."
