H. 8. P. Kin ard, Nowborry Q. H." Suspension of Civil Causes. Tho following reply of Judge Al? drich to a request of the . citizens of Williamsburg District, that he would suspend the trial of cases on the civil docket, as. far as the collection of debts was concerned, is published in the Kingtree Star: RO?OSTREE, April 9, 1867. GENTLEMEN: Through our mutual friend, Gen.- Harllee, I have received the proceedings of an "informal meeting of a large number of the citi? zens of Williamsburg District, held this morning,',' in which you*request me, if consistent with my duty after consultation, with tho. bar, to suspend the trial of cases on tho civil docket for the collection of debts. You also say that you havo no disposition to evade tho law,.but that your action is taken simply from considerations of tho present impoverished and suf? fering condition of tho community generally. I need hardly assure you of my en? tire sympathy with tho sentiment which has induced you to hold this meeting and make this application. But I havo no power to.entertain your proposition, nor do ? seo how the. gentlemen of the bar can do it without tho consent of their clients. It is my duty to administer the laws enacted by the Legislature. It is tho duty of all to obey them. I think, however, there is needless alarm on this subject. I do not be? lieve it is the intention of creditors to press their debtors; generally speaking, tho purposo is to obtain a lion in order to secure the debt, and when this is done, the creditor will, bo satisfied. It seems hard to bur? den the debtor' with costs now; but permit mo to say, in all 'kindness, the debtor is more to blame for this than tho creditor. My experience convinces me that many suits have been coramoncod becauso tho debtor refused to pay tho interest account on his debt, although he was well aware that without that interest it was difficult for his creditor to pro? cure the'necessaries of 'lifo. Such debtors deserve no sympathy, and are entitled to no consideration; yet I feel certain that even in these cases the genoral purpose is not to collect more than the interest due. It is a curious fact, too, that tho most earnest complaint against the opening of tho courts and tho collec? tion of debts, comes from those sec? tions of the State which 'breve been least injured by tho " in vat ,g army. I do not'pretend to account for this, but tho fact is so, aud it is a curious commentary on human nature. Trusting, gentlemen, that tho good God will bless us with propitious seasons, and that the Fall Court will find you able, from the proceeds of abundant crops, to satisfy the arrear? ages of interest, and thus >btrdn an extension of time from your liabili? ties, who, I am persuaded, will in? dulge you to tho utmost limit. I am, very respectfully, your obedient ser? vant, A. P. ALDRICH. To Messrs. >T. M. GRAHAM, W. D. FULTON and others. THE MARYLAND ELECTION.-Tho Baltimoro Sun, of Thursday, says: The electiqn which occurred in this State yesterday to determine the question whether or not a constitu? tional convention shall bo held has probably called out a fair but not a full'vote. Tho returns are not suffi? cient ns yet to show tho result in tho State, but tho prbbabilities are that tho majority will not be large either way. In Baltimore city there wero up? wards of 20,000 votes polled out of a regirtered voting population 29,000, and the majority in favr [ tho convention is 1,890, and iu it? ~ of tho cars running on Sunday l,9b?. Silty ladies, of Now Albany, have boen initiated into tho mysteries of thc Eastern Star degree-a sido issue of Masonry. Tho Baltimore Presentation Concert. We observo that several arrests have been made . iu Baltimore ai parties connected with " this affair, oharged with obtaining money under false pretences from funds belonging to tl*e Southern Orphans' Associa tion. . The following paiagrnph in relation to the matter is from- tho Baltimore Gazette: Upon the merits or demoriis of the caso which has been brought into the courte by tho members of the "South? ern Orphans' Association," wo do not intend at present to pass any judg? ment. Neither do wo presume ns yet to say one word about the charac? ter or conduct of any of the parties to the controversy. But vro nave a duty to discharge to the public in this connection, whioh wo must promptly accept. -We have no hesi? tation, therefore, in warning Mi o community against subscribing for tickets in what is termed tho Grand Presentation Concert, advertised to be held under the auspices of this association. Not only has the whole business been wretchedly misma? naged, but it has been carried on in a way that has caused tho .public to suspect, whether rightfully or wrongfully wo do not pretend to say, that certain persons connected with the association will derive consider? able advantage from tho speculation, and the Southern orphans littlo or none. The names of a number of gentlemen, who repudiate all know? ledge of or responsibility for the {)reseniation concert, have been iree y used, as though they had agreed to patronize it, and the managers state that tho affair is to come off at the Maryland Institute on the 30th of April, althoughtho institute has not been and cannot bo engaged for any such purpose. A great deal of money has already bceu -sent to the agent, but, until farther advisod, wo would caution benevolent" people to refrain from sending any more. ) v ? ? ? There is an interesting question before a jury in the Supreme Court, .New York. It is, in brief, as follows, William A. Sanborn, bought of Silas O. Herring a safe which tho vender alleged, under warrantee, was bur? glar proof. Tho safo was forced by a burglar, and $26,000 taken therefrom. The question for the jury to decide is, is Herring, under the warrantee, responsible for tho money stolen? If held responsible, the burglar-proof safe business will bo rather an unsafe one for any gen? tleman with money to engago in. Tho jury will, probably, definitely settle tho question this week. . TH? CASE QF MR. DAVIS.-Some persons seem to think that tho allot? ment of Chief 3 ustico Chase to the Virginia Circuit indicates that Mr. Davis is to bo tried. Wo think it in? dicates no such thing. Mr. Chase has repeatedly refused to hold a Cir? cuit Court in Virginia, because the State was under the control of the military. He will adhore to this de? termination. His own record shows him to have been at ono time so de? cided a believer in tho doctrino of secession as ta render it improbablo that he will ever willingly sit upon tho case of Mr. Davis. ^Richmond Dispatch. A PROPHECY.-Over thirty years ago, Fanny. Kembla wrote tho fol? lowing sentence in her journal, while on a visit to this country: "I believe in my heart that a re? public is tho noblest, highest and purest form of government; but I believe that, according to tho present disposition of human creatures, 'tis a mere beau ideal, totally incapable of realization. What the world may be fit for six hundred years hence, I cannot exactly perceive; but in the meantime, 'tis my conviction that America will be a monarchy before I am a skeleton." --. ?? ???.--? J. WILKES BOOTH'S DIARY.-The publication of the contents of the Wilkes Booth diary, nbout which so much has been said, will not take place until tho testimony of tho wit? ness who took it from his body can be obtained and printed with it. This witness is now in Ohio, and the Judiciary Committco of tho House will shortly secure his deposition, which will prove, beyond dispute, that the diary is uow in precisely tho condition in which it was when taken from Booth's body. At Vienna, an "intelligence office" of a novel character has been open? ed. Hero marriageable girls in quest of husbands aro to bo found. The blondes are in one room-tho bru? nettes in another. Rouge ou noir ? is tho question asked of tho visitor, and as ho loves blondes or brunettes, ho is shown into ono or tho other room. The next thing we shall hear will bo that daughters aro disposed of by lottery. G?nnt Bismarck, ih the German Parliament, in a caustic speech, has settled, so far aa Prussia is interested, all hopes of Polish nationality. Ad? dressing the Polish deputies, he said : "The re-establishment of Poland is a fantastical dream. There are not Poles onou?h in the world to accom? plish it." It should be remembered that thc Count is an aristocrat, and does not know how many Poles it would take to do the Cracow vienne. Referring to the unsettled condi? tion of Southern people, tho Thomas villo (Ga.) Enterprise expresses the belief that no less than one-half .of the Southern white people have changed homes since the war, and about one-third of them have changed States. Rev. J. J. West, of Winchelsea, England, refused to read the burial service over the corpse of a man who was washed up at sea, because "he did not know whether he had been baptized!" Several thousand small stills, each capable of making from one to three barrels of whiskey per day, were made in Cincinnati last year for the South. SPECIAL NOTICES.

A gentleman told me that his son IISB been taking tho Queen's Delight, and is moro benefited hy it than by any other medicine. Uc wants a dozen bottles." Extract from a lotter: "It is duo to you to state in this public manucr, in order that tho people may know tho truth, that I have tried your Queen's Dolight, and found it not only what you said it was-"a Euro medicino"-but tho best medicino I ave ever taken for eruptions and genoral ? bad health.

I have taken ono bottle of your Queen's Delight, tho eruption has disappeared, my appetito is botter, my liver and digestion is im Eroved. I am satisfied ono or two moro ottloB will euro mo."
