The subject of another meeting of Congress on the 16th of this month, in accordance with th< resolution adopted in September, is beginning U engage attention in Washington.

Senators Tram bull and Fowler take this view of the probabilities -A new experiment in ship building isthu described in tbe Boston Journal: "We learn tha the Atlantic Works, at East Boston, have just con eluded a oontract to build an iron brig of abou three hundred and fifty tons, for the purpose o carrying molasses from the West Indies.

Cfn Friday last a number of our citizens had the pleasure of hearing an address at the Court House, by Hon. Wm. D. Simpson, the Democratic candidate for Congress from this Congressional District Col. Simpson is an eloquent and forcible speaker, and was listened to with marked attention. His speech went to prove that the Radical party was a lineal descendant of the old Federal party of 1787, and that all the despotic powers over the States and people, with which the Federalists desired to invest Congress, had been usurped and exercised by the present Radical Congress. He showed that Congress had violated the Constitution; paralyzed with terror the Supreme Court; tied the hands of the Executive; crushed labor to the earth and stagnated the industry and commerce of the country, by unequal and onerous to-rofinn TTa nrcmr>rt flmfc disnstrnna imnn public and private interests had been the tyranny, ! extravagance, and misrule of the Radical party, that the Northern masses?a majority of whom were Democrats before the war?felt that national and industrial interests demands a change, and that as a result, he predicted the triumphant election of Seymour and Blair. * THE APPROACHING ELECTION. Our readers should bear in mind that there will be but one day for the Presidential Election?Tuesday, the 3d day of November. Upon that day every citizen of this District will be entitled to vote J. for six Electors to cast the vote of South Carolina for President and Vice-President of the United Qfotoo n (Innnrrnoomon to f 4Ua T?Vit?wfrVt , J 1V4 ? vvu^ivooiuau %.\J lliu 1UUUU 5 District in Congress; and for a Solicitor for the sixth Judicial Circuit of this State. | The last and only hope for the country is in the I success of the Democratic party. To the success t of that cause, let every man address himself assiduously and perseveringly until the election is over. i The claims of the American Constitution is before i the people. Shall the people permit it to be re> pudiated and set at defiance ? Are we to offer no 1 objection, at the ballot-box, to the unjust and disj criminating Legislation of Radicalism ? Our only remedy is at the approaching ballot. We trust - that these questions will be satisfactorily answered 2 in this District, by the vote on the 3rd of Novem" ber. Let our Democratic Clubs in this District en5 courage the people to do their whole duty. Let 1 the clubs and citizens of the various neighborhoods ^ bring into requisition every horse and conveyance f necessary to carry the aged and infirm to the polls. 3 These arrangements should be made before the day of election. Let none be absent who have the 3 physical ability to walk or iide to the ballot-box. g The issue is top plain to be misunderstood. It is 1 criminal to manifest indifference to the result. Let 1 all, both white and colored, go to the ballot-box 3 determined to discourage all indications of force or violence. Let all vote for the Democratic candi. dates, hoping thereby to subserve the peace and 3 prosperity of our common country, fc f. APPOtJfTMENT OP MAGJSTHATE8, The Legislature, at its late sejfeiori, passed"!

The Act authorizing these appointments becan of force immediately on its passage, and magistrate now have original jurisdiction in all cases of ba tardy, and in all matters of contra# and actions fi the recovery of fines and forfeitures, where the i mount claimed does noteiceed ninety-nine dollar and in cases of actions ex delicto, where the dam: ges claimed do not exceed ninety-nine dollars j ai prosecutions for assault and battery, and other p nal offences less than felony, punishable by fine n< exceeding ninety-nine dollars.

A few days ago, at.a meeting of the magistrate of Charleston, Attorney-General Chamberlain st ted that the old magistrates would oont^nue to a as heretofore, subject to the will of the Govern? but with an enlarged jurisdiction. He also state that there would be no removals except for j.ui cause, and that the Governor would make sue new appointments as might seem proper. Nej week we will publish the "Act to provide for temporary appointment of.Magistrates, and to di fine their powers." , : * * .. . . . . -r THE COURTS. Under the new Constitution of this SRte (s |called) the Sixth Judicial Circuit is oomposedt [ the Districts of Chester, Lancaster, York and Ui ion. It is provided that there shall be three tenr of the Court, daring each year,ip. eaphJHrtrict < the Circuit. The Courts for York District wi commence on the 1st Mondays in March, July an November, and will continue in session for sue period during each-of said months as the businessincluding civil, criminal and ijquity Jurisdictionmay require. Hereafter there will be no separat and distinct Courts of Equity as heretofore. Tb members of our bar are of the decided opinion tha it will be impracticable to hold Court next month and it is highly probable that we will hot have session of Court until the March Term, unless th Judge recently elected may deem it neoessary t call an extra term to try State cases, of which du notioe will be given. In view of the crowded con dition of our Jail, and the expense to the State c dieting prisoners, a Court of Session seems impei atively demanded. _ .. Our inexperienced* legislators neglected to orde an, election lor ooucuor uy me pcupic, as we \>vu stituticm provides. In consequence of this grave c mission, we are informed that Judgq Boozer wa compelled to dismiss the Grand Jury, at the. open ing of the Court last week in Columbia, as he wa not authorized to supply the omission by; appoint rnent. fie could not do otherwise thap-to dkmii the grand jury, as questions would naturally aris hereafter as to the regularity of trials and ooqvic tions in the absence of a Sohcitoz. t, j v Qur attorneys, under these circumstances, ar not expecting a Court in November, and we ca now see no necessity for the attendance of juror and witnesses on the first Monday of next month Should any definite information indicate that Corn will be in session next month, we will give due nc tice of the same. THE REPUBLICAN MEETING. It is generally understood that now that th Lcfeialatuiu liaa adjuuiued, thtr ^Hattchlg Tlien" 0 the Republican party are to engage in carrying 01 a vigorous canvass in the interest of Grant au Colfax generally, and for themselves especially With this purpose, an effort was made in York vilie, on Friday last, after several weeks' notice t the faithful, to get up a demonstration; but of al failures on a large scale, it was one of the grandest Very early on Friday morning a number of th local Moguls of the party could be seen on th wing, hurrying to and fro, trying to produce i moderate degree of enthusiasm among their dele ded followers, but with little success, as was after wards demonstrated. Ten o'clock arrived, and al 1 nmAiinf Ap rJ Ml mitsinff ft nrAAAfiUlA!

This huge proces sion wended its way in the direction of the depot to a place known as "Hannibal White's Grove,' where all needful preparations had been made fo the expected momentous exercises. A. S. Wallace, Esq., the Radical candidate fo Congress; P. J. O'Connell aocK-Hannibal White members of the Legislature from York; amhWim bush, from Chester?the two latter colored?ad dressed the assemblage, which is said to have num bered about two hundred, including women am children. We were not present at the speeches but learn that they were in the usual Radical style abounding in appeals to the passions, prejudice and ignorance of the negro. The indications are that Radicalism in YorkDis trict is on its last legs, aud before many month have elapsed, it will, doubtless, only be remember ed as a thing pf the past. Rumors are curren that many of the freedmen who have heretofor acted with the Radical party are deserting it, hav ing become satisfied that their true inteiest is iden tical with that of the respectable white men of th country.

Before the 01 e publication of another Issue 6f ihis paper, the re- D it suit will be known; and white We are. hopeful that ; the Democratic party will triumph in the struggle, ci a we are by no means sanguine as to the result in tc e these States. The Republican party, for the past T o two months, has bedn pCrsiBtently misrepresenting <S e the purposes of the Southern people in the event i- of the election of Seymour and Blair, and these j? if misrepresentations have not, we fear, been without ,w effect. Y It is impossible t!o arrive at any conclusion as to oi r the result by reading the partizan newpapers, as T !- each party claims that it Will succeed by handsome * k majorities. The following summary of previous ni a election#, will, however,: prove interesting just at i- this time, and furnish food for speculation: ; D; a Pennsylvania kt fee 'last Presidential election pi . gave 20,075 majority firtrthe Republicans. At the tl last State election (1867} she gave 922 majority for fx the Democrats.
