nivo manner :i,
Whereas, the tern of office of his P
Honor Judge J. M. Rutland, Judge L
of the Fourth Circuit, is about to ex- G
pire, and this is the last opportunity ti
we, as miembeis of the bar, practicing w
in the county of Chesterfield, will Of
ave to express to him personally the W
sentiments of regard for him as a man e
and approval of his course as on olli. te
cer, that we entertain, we do, in the t
following resolutions, embody those I
sentiments as a slight testino'nial of 6
our apprecietion ot his services. in the 0
fair and impartial administratiou of n
the law under the different circum- i
stancesof the t imes and the country. hi
Resolved, 1st. That we regret that
we are to be deprived of the services
of his Honor Judge Rutland, because t
we recognize in his ofliciul career an
a
earnest desire, and a determined pur- a
pose, on his pa t, to adminiuister the
laws faithfully, and to mete out jus- c0
tico to all classes of the people, with of
out regard to political opinion or hi
social cQondition, but with entire
reference to the requirements of the
law, the good of the country and the n
obligations of his oath of oflico. Cl
Resolved 2d. That under his ad. i
ministration, during the past four to
yoars, notwithstanding the di3courage- of
ients and hinderances of unwise and M
conflicting legislation, and the unset- at
tied conditiou of the country, it is
manifest to all candid minds that or
crime has been greatly checked, har. a'
mony and good will among the citi- t
zens promoted, and the prosperity and id
happiness of the community advanc- C
ed ; and that this, in a great measure '
is duo to the firmness and impartiali- gl
ty of the Judge, and the prudence d
4adoAity with which he has niot the h
diflioulties of his position, and exer- a1
cised the functious, of his high office. ft
Resolved, 3d. That as we appre- a<
eiate the benefits our people have de- ti
rived from the faithful administration d
of justice at his hands we do sincerely b
. wish that in his retirement from offi. d
eial duties %nd responsibilities, his
Ilonor may riobly enjoy the satisfac. y
tion which comes to all virtuous minds r
in the conscious'ness of duty fearless- r
ly and faithfully performed, and the a
approval of tihe people for whiom lhe b
has labored, and that in health and a
prosperity he may live to enjoy the
continued and increasing respect and hi
eonfidence of his fellow-citizens. l
Resolved, 4th. That a copy of these d
resolutions be presented by the Solici. f
tor, in behalf of the bar, to his a
]Ionor Judge Rutland, arnd that he p
be requested to allow them to be en
tered on the minutes of this court. r

shed to give expression to his sense
the justice and impartiality that re
id characterized his Honor's orneini AT
'iduct, as well as the courtesy ex. uI
anded to him, a colored memler of
e Bar. Mr. Green admitted that re
times he had not been -'easd with ar
me of his honor's decisions, but said
at upon reflection lie and the coloi. St
I people geneml ly were mati.'Iied of Of
F l[onor's intention to do justice to fo
, and of the general sounduers of Iv
s decisions.
We think it simply an act of jus, hi
'o to, Judge Rutland to mention J1
is circumstance, as lie has been p
cused in some quarters of undue i1
irshnesa in passing sentence upon wI
lored'offlenders against the majesty ai
the law, who were brought before de
DARLINGTON. as
The members of the Bar in attend- in
co at the June term, 1872, of the W
>urt of Geieral Sessions and Con- all
on pleas, for the county of Darling. fa
n, State of South Carolina, in view
the fact that His Honor, Judge J.
.lRutland, is holding his last court
this place, do resolve- [i
1. Tihat, although from his politi
A associations, and the fact that lie
id others in taking office, occupied
ie places of men long and honorably
entitied with the Judiciary of South
arolina, we received Judge Rutland
hleu he first came among us with It
reat unwillingness and a natural
istrust, we very soon recognized in
im a iman fearless and incorruptible, C
id a Judge who had left all party i
eling behind him when he took his
at upon the bench, and who was ae
iated by a noble determination to ,
ischiarge to the best of his ability, tl
ohdly and impartially, the high and
ifficult duties of his office.
11. That an acquaintance of four
ears has confirmed our esteem and

erful conversion of .our county
rom a region of lawlessness, terror
nd bloodshed, to one of coinparative
eaco and safety.
IV. That in view of the serious and
nprecedented difficulties that sur

lie good will of all parties and all r

The llerald has a long account from
Stanley, narrating his adventures in
reaching Ujiji, where he cime tip with
Livingstone, whose story follows. In
Mareh, 1866, he informed the Herald
explorer, he started with twelve
Sopoys, nine Johanna men and seven
liberated slaves, and travelled up the
Rovuma River. Before they had been
gone long, the men became frightened

reports of hostile tribes up the coun

Livingstone proceeded on hiA jour

after some difficult matches, reached
the Chambazi River, wbich he crossed.

vinced, in the consequence, that the
Chambazi is doubtless the source ot
the Nile, and that this will make a
total length fr the mystic river of
Africa of 2,600 miles.
Ilis explorations also establish the
fact that the Nile is not supplied by
Lake Tanganyika. Ile reached with

plored the surrounding ground, when.
tindivg himiielf without supplies, he
was obliged to return to Ujiji, and
was in a state of destitution there
when met by the, commander of the
lerald expedition, en the l6th of
Oetober, 1871. The two explorers
left Ujiji and arrived at Unianyembe
toward the end of November, where
they passed twenty-eight days togeth,
er, exploriig the district. They then
returned and spent Chritmnas togetlh
er at UIjiji. The Herald explorer ar
rived at the point of sending this im
portant intelligence on the 14th of
March, .. 1872, leaving Livingstone
at Uninnyombo. As to Livingstone's
further plans, he will explore the
North shore of Tanganyika Lake and
the remaining 180 miles of Lualaba
River. This herculean tasks lie ex
pects will occupy the next two years.
Iltpubllican1 feclinjfot Greclty,
It is fregnently asserted that Gree.
ley only has a Denocratie support
and does not in the least detract
from Grant's strength. The Cincin.
nati Convention omitained several
hundred delegates from every portion
of the Union aind thero was not a
Democrat amoml them. The Spring
field Republican has the most influ
ence of any paper in New England
and it supports Greeley with zeal
and abilitv. The circulation of the
New York Tribune is certainly the
most widely circulated paper in the
Western States. Other Republican
p-ipora in different States support
Greeley, but these only are mentioned
because of their great influence with
the members of that party, It is
useless to say that they do not in
fluence hun*r ids of thousands of
hitherto G rant men to the support of
Greeley. A majrity of the Grant
clectorial ticket in Ne York in
1868, is~ now supporting Groeley,

The Long lirancl Campaign.

coolly. lie persists in vilwing th
mortal struggle between his oppc

breezy beach of Long Branch. 11
seems to imasgine that he will be te
elected, of course, and that ho. ndei
not give himself any trouble about it
11is partisans are not as sereno a
their chief ; they are not certain tha
he will be re-elected as a matter o
courso ; they fear ho will not be re
elected at all ; and the most sanguin
of them know that he will not be re
elected without a hard struggle. . Ye
on the eve of this hard strug;;le h<

he hies away to the seashore to watel

to have a greater fascination for lhin
than his own omitest with Greeley
he, therefore, leaves the latter busi
ness in the hands of his friends
while he gives his personal attentior
to the former.
Iis friends evidently do not hali
like this conduct of thcir chief.
They are willing to do the fighting
but they expected, at least the en
couragement of his prescuce. It is
iot pleasant to them to know that hei
has turned hi-- back upon them- that
he is at Long Braneh when he ought
to be at Washinxgton. It is not en
couraging to fight for one who does
not care for his troops ; and tl.is is
the explanation of that deail-aliv;e
s.irit of the Grant party. There is
a perceptible lack of enthusiasm in
its ranks. I1s camp is idle and unin
tere.ting. Wo hear no bugle blasts

of it ; and when Senator Morton ceases
to vomit fire and sulphur, it shows
that there is something lacking in his
task. The enthusiasm which the
Indiana Senator lacks, his whole party

Philadelphia, and there the matter
rests. They are not going into con

Last Thursday night about forty mocn

started out with the determination
to capture the robbers. Three small
boys hearing of the act resolved on

for the cave. When the attacking
