strong sentences: "Do yon know the way
Prussia triumphed in the field of buttle?
'Twas not because there was a lack of
bravery on their side; it was not the ef?
fect of that wondrous weapon, for the
acquisition of whioh men are now so
eager; but it was because the assailant
was better' educated tuan tho assailed,
and had a .superior religious training; it
was because every Prussian solder had a
Biblo in his oap or helmet. In other
places I have asserted, and I assert it
again hore, that which constitutes the
strength of Protestant nations is, that
when tho people come from their work,
they onter the family circlo, and sitting
by their hearths, read the Biblo and tho

with thoso that dwell beyond tho Atlan?

jy tho article from the Press:
At the close of the two weeks' tor m 'of
tho extra. Court, which adjourned on
last Saturday, Creneral^HcGo wah al the
representative of the, bar roso and ad?
dressed Judge Orr in a few well-timed
and eloquent remarks. ' He said, before
your Honor leaves the bench, .excuse the
bar ia say/ng one word at parting. Tho
business of tho Seventh Circuit being
h oft vy, and Judge Vernon over-worked,
yon were kind enough to consent to
leave your own circuit and to hold; in
mid-summer, our extra court, now ab rt nt
to close. Thia was to you doable duty,
after you had cleared the dockets on
I your own mountain circu? t. When you
I came our isaho docket waaf very heavy
havinp ?booti increased since tho war
fand then numbering about 500 oases.
The weather hos beeb intensely hot, and
the Iftbor arduous, but your Honor hus
nearly:.cleared the docket..' Over 400
judgments bave been rendered, of which
, ?t least seveutv-flve wete verdicts. All
this labor, in tue roost oppressive wea?
ther, baa been performed,in a manner so
patient and conscientious, so courteous
and kind, and so olear, lucid and able in
'judgment, SS to command universal ?p
I probation* lu the name pf thia bar-in
the name of litigants, witnesses and ju?
rors-in the name of this whole commu?
nity, w? thank you, and Svlsh yon, a safe
anq happy return to your circuit and
home.1***.-'- . .?omtf?3B
To which Jnrlg? Orr replied* ret nr mu g
thanks in a few,appropriate and touch?
ing xemarka. He said.that an addition?
al inducement had been furbished lor
his acceptance of office from the conside?
ration, that its duties were to bo poi*-"
formed amid the scenes, and amorig the
?a saw fates of bis early life, and -that it
would afford him tho means of contri?
bu? ing to tho restoration of order and
extending to friends and neighbors the
blessing of civil law. Prompted by the
same desire, he had Consented to aid in
relieving tho crowded dockets of Abbe?
ville; and that ho had discharged his
duty to the satisfaction of a bar so dis?
tinguished as this was, to him, a source
of unfeigned satisfaction. To the ability
and zealous c-operation of tho members
of that bar, and to' the patient industry
and intelligence of its juries, the County
way very much indebted for the rapid
despatch of business.
No compliment was ever better do
served by a judicial magistrate, than
that paid by the bar of Abbeville to
Judge Orr. It was praiseworthy to have
consented to hold a two weeks' term iu
tho hottest month of the year on another
circuit, and it was above all praise to
have discharged its duties with the abili
' ty and untiring patience with which the
work was done. Judge Orr has tho ele?
ments of the accomplished judge-readi?
ness in grasping tho facts of a case
sagacity iu applying the law-patience,
despatoh. His charges to the juries are
models of clearness. In the leading
characteristics of his m;ud he constantly
reminds one of the late Judge O'Neal,
We learn that with characteristic public
spirit he has consented to hold an extrt
conrt in Newberry.

"ber of ifflpofianfr^aubjeota W*?re
poatponed ; among them that of the mar?
riage laws introduced by Sir Roandell
Palmer. An intelligent writer to tho
New York Times makes the following
notice of this matter:
"Tho princip? of Tellgious equality,
HW prartlTOrly recognised -for tho first
timo three ccu tu ri CH after the reforma?
tion, seems to require some sort of equal?
ly, and, if possible, uniformity, in the
laws relating to marriage. The laws, as
they now erxist, Sir Rou udell may well
call extraordinary. In Euglana people
are,married by bans, jar dispensed from
them by license. ID church marriages no
registrar is required to be present; among
non-con fdr mists bis attendance is requi?
site. Tho Quakers- have a separate law
all to t hom Helve.?. If the place, whoro the
marriage.is celebrated has not been pro?
perly-consecrated the marriage is invalid
It can only bo performed within certain
hours-never later than ll A M. , In
Scotland there ia marriage by simple cou
sent of tho parties; marriages according
to three qr four di li?rent laws, and irre
gular marriagos, which make people lia
ble to a fine; but the payment of the Gue
legalizes the marriage, and this is a com
mob -mode of procedure.. In Ireland
'there-is ono , law for Protestant chureli?
men, another.for Presbyterian's, and BO
law atv all for Catholics, except a law .of
pains and penalties in certain cases. If
a Hornau Catholic priest should presume
to celebrate a marriage between a Kornau
Catholic and Protestant, or even between
a Komm) Cafjio?iu ond a person who had
been a Protestant wi Un u a year of the
marriage, --till- comparatively - a- ran eu t
Ume Lb at was a oap i tal offence, and even
now lt TS V cfrmin?l: drnoirc? Vf?fcTOry.
high order, and the marriage-is absolute?
ly void. Of the irregular Scottish mar?
riages, Sir Bonndell has the horror that
might be expected in an Euglish lawyer
and churchman, and his description of
them is .technical and droll, Ho says:
"The system of irregular marriages, in
Scotland is a very startling tiling to those
whoso minds ?l'O not, thoroughly accus?
tomed to Ht. ' It is contracted" in two
different ways. ' Suppose any gentleman
in this house visited a house in Scotland
where a young lady happens to bo stay?
ing, and that bo and the young lady took
a walk together, and in the course of the
walk ho took a piece of paper out of his
pocket, on which they wrote down a
mutual promise to marry; though the
piece of paper might be simply put back
again into his pocket; though nothing
might bo Gaid to anybody about the
writiug; and though, nobody else might
bo there at the time, if the persons after?
wards lived id a certain way together
that would be a valid marriage, although
nobody might know of the fact of the
marriage for years afterwards. No mero'
promise will constitute a marriage unless
it be in writing, and unless subs?quente
copula. A promise so given and so fol?
lowed constitutes a good marriage, how?
ever long it may be kept secret. There
is another even more extraordinary
mode, in which no writing at all is neces?
sary; and that is where the promise is
made not de futuro, but de present?
where the woman says, 1 take you,
John, for my husband,' and where the
man says, 'I take you, Mary, for my
wife,' before witnesses. A promise of
that kind being brought up at any future
period, u although the people have
never liw d together, will hold good, and

morning, a colored man, named-,John

cattle from Mr. B?ngle, Of Newberry,
was pursued several squares by officer

Finding himself pressed, he turned and
fired twice at the policeman. The shots
were returned, but the shooting was bad
on both sides and nobody was hurt.
Finally the fugitive was met by Chief
of Police Radcliffe, arrested and car?
ried to the gnard bonse.
A CAS? OF MURDER.-A young woman,
Eliza Boyer, was found dead on yester?
day, near a stream about 3)? miles from
the city. From the marks upon her per?

petrator of this foul act. The jory of
inquest empanelled by Coroner Thomp?
