the Judiciary of the Future.
For sonio time past we have noticed in
sc vend of our exchanges, in the aooohnts
given of the proceedings of Court in
their several localities, the significant
statement that the docket was cleared,
or the learned Judge unnounced that he
meant to clear the docket, or that his
Honor displayed equal zeal and ability
in the discharge of his laborious duties,
or that the session was protracted and
encroached upon tho hours of rest, Ac.
?'Thinks I to'myself," what does that
meanV After much; pondering upon the
problem, it stood revealed and demon?
strated. ? At the- next General Assembly
there will bo held elections for eight Cir?
cuit Judges to serve for four years. The
approach of this session is the approach
of tho application of a test to these eight
justices, whether . they have acquitted
themselves well, and whether thoy shall
bs entrusted with these high functions
again. The time has not come to discuss
their merits or to show the deficiencies
and short-comings of any ono of thorn.
Wo con only say in general that somo
have been assiduous in their duties, while
others havo not. Some are learnod in
tho law, others are ignorant and behind?
hand in reading, study and research.
Some have brains, but from this reproach
several can claim exemption. Wo will
say this, however, in favor of tho judi?
ciary. In the general prostration of in?
telligence and banishment of virtue and
character in tho departments of
the State Government of South Caro?
lina, it has stood fairer than any other,
because tho old impress was moro
deeply].imprinted upon it than upon
any other.. Unlike the executive and
legislative branches, it has not done any
very outrageous and scandalous things,
and not many positively bad. It has
been very blind at times; it has been
immensely, devoted to technicalities; it
has felt tho forco of tho corrupt public
opinion which surrounded it, in neutral?
izing its' independence, and it has been
content too much to float quietly along
the current. It has done somo good,
but has escaped doing a good deal that
was bad. But now that tho era of re?
sponsibility is dawning, and men of
force, of convictions'and determination
of character are required on the bench,
not to speak of the always indispensible
traits of learning, love of justice- and
strong abilities, these merely compliant
and complacent traits will not do. The
Judge of the coming period must not be
addicted to blinking or legging. Ho
must not consider so much the honor of
his easy seat as the obligations which he
owes to justioo and the people He
must realize that there are evils to bo re?
dressed, plunderers to be brought to
account, villains to be overtaken and
punished, rights to be enforced. He
must bo of a receptive, not repeilant,
mood. As ho has been indifferent and
unconscious all along?we speak not of
all?so must he now or soon be wide
awake, be able to look straight before
him, and to see not a primrose path
hedged with his own honors, gratifica?
tions and ease, but a rugged road of duty,
at whose end, when he has faithfully and
fearlessly traversed it, he will find the
good will and commendation of his
countrymen, and the approval of his
own conscience.

Too Much Massachusetts.
The Philadelphia Times makes com?
plaint of the centennial commission for
giving an undue share of the honorary
positions in the groat centennial exhibi?
tion to Massachusetts. Charles Francis
Adams has been named as the orator,
Mr. Longfellow tho poet and Mr. Emer?
son the reader of the Declaration of In?
dependence. The selection of Mr.
Adams could not be improved upon.
He is the grand-son of John Adams and
the son of John Qnincy Adams, and in?
herits the talents and accomplishments
of his family. As a statesman and orator
he stand." without a superior. But the
Times thinks that Mr. Longfellow is less
fit, as a poet, less American and virile than
Mr. W. C. Bryant; and that the appoint?
ment of Mr. It. W. Emerson as reader, is
oven move inappropriate Virginia
should have been called upon for somo
- ono to read the declaration whioh her
Jefferson wrote. The other appoint?
ments are respectable and appropriate.
Mr. Lamar will do very well, and Gene?
rals Sherman and Joe Johnston,
for the military part, make a capital
team. What the Times dislikes, is
that Massachusetts should be supposed
to have made a corner in brains.
The States of Guerrero and Michoacan,
in Mexico, seem'to btf cursed with a set
of bandits far worse than those of
Tarn adli pas"on tho Texas borders. Their

the name of religion they are'burning
houses and robbing and murdering with?
out stint They profess to bo waging
war against the reform laws whioh have
disestablished the Boman Catholic
Church and exiled the Sisters of Mercy,
bnt this is evidently only a pretext to
carry out their natural' proclivity for
plunder They are also seeking to de?
stroy the ? Masonic orders. The Liberal*
are arming and resisting- these disgrace?
ful raids. (/ .b iT il ? '?

?. Tob Cotton Wobm.?Atheory hos been
recently advanced in regard.to the cot?
ton worm, that it is an immigrant from
more Southern latitudes. It comes upon
the young plants just in their most suc?
culent shite, end if mot with vigorous
and concerted opposition, con bo pre?
vented from doing any great amount of
harm. The kind of treatment to which
they should bo subjected, is not ox
plained with nny minuteness by the
writer (T>r. Groio) who puts forward the
thoory. Hut he dwells upon the fact
that tho eggs cannot come to maturity
here. The worm dies out every year
with its food-plant. Whatever steps arc
taken to prevent its ravages, are in their
application limited to a short period.
Thoro may bo specific preventatives,
such as Paris green and the like; but
perhaps tho most effectual would be laws
duly enforced which protect insoctive
rous birds, and the introduction of the
English sparrow, whose voracity and
courage may be relied on to do a great
deal.
Foundation or Home.--While we are
celebrating centennials in this country,
"eternal Rome,"on tho '21st of April, had
a commemoration in honor of the foun?
dation of that city. It is believed that
Kome is now 2,625) years old. The 21st
of April, at ony rate, is tho date set apart
in tho Boman calendar for this commem?
oration, though the subject is open to
dispute, like tho date of the Mecklenburg
declaration of independence. But there
is no denying tho fact that, whether
Borne will over have an end or not. sho
once had a beginning. The origin of
Borne is lost in \tho mists of antiquity,
but tho Bomans date from the time when
Bomnlns put hiB hand to the plow to
turn tip tho furrows around the base of
what afterward became known as tho
"Palatine Hill," on which there was ori?
ginally a Pelosgic town, one of tho races
which formerly inhabited Greece, and
who were finally in Italy reduced to the
condition of serfs or united with their
conquerors to form a new people, tho
Latins. Perhaps no such person as Bo
mulus ever founded Borne, and perhaps,
if he did, it was not on the 21st of April,
but the Bomans commemorate it all tho
same. Tho primitive act which laid the
foundation of a power which came at
last to rulo over 80,000,000 of the popula?
tion of tho world, and. to exist in the
memories and admiration of all genera?
tions sinco, was celebrated in Borne on
tho 21st ultimo, and on that night all the
ruins in the region of the Roman forum
wore illuminated with colored fires. No
one in Bomo or tho world has ever sug?
gested that the uncertainty of the date
should have prevented the celebration.
Madamo Christino Nilsson-Bouzand
has set a curious fashion, by which she
leaves an audienco its choice of a do
nouement. Sho has provided no less
than three endings to Ambrose Thomas'
opera of "Mignon." In the French per?
formances, Mignon marries Wilhelm
Meister. As this would be very ridicu?
lous to the Germans, especially thoso
acquainted with Goethe's heroine, and as
they would be sure to violently condemn
any such liberty taken with her, when
"Mignon" is given in Germany tho he?
roine dies. Bccently, Mme. Nilsson has
been making a tour of Belgium, and
giving "Mignon." As Belgium just now
occupies a sort of intermediate place be?
tween France and Germany, and the
audiences in the Belgian theatres are
mado up mainly of French and Ger?
mans, Mme. Nilsson has shrewdiy pro?
vided a denouement which suits both
classes and gives them freedom of choice.
As the curtain falls, Mignon sinks into
tho arms of Wilhelm Meister and quietly
reposes there. The German, if ho so
choose, can assume that sho dies thero,
and go away satisfied. The Frenchman,
on the other hand, is at liberty to infer
that she swoons away only to recover
and over after live happily as Mrs. W.
Meister. Tho Bolgian, being a neutral,
we presume takes the neutral view, and
regards Mignon as neither dead or mar?
ried, but indefinitely reposing in a;
comatose state upon Wilhelm Meister's
manly breast.

Tin-: National Bo.\ m > of Tiiaok. The
annual meeting of the National Hoard of
Trade will tako place in Philadelphia,
Juno 15, and will be attended by some
of the most influential merchants and
ablest financiers in the country. Impor?
tant questions, involving the commer?

mentioned tho "capitation tax on immi?

of national importance.
MiBS Anna Dickinson has temporarily
ceased lecturing on the social evil and
has gone solidly into politics of tho
Badical order. She lectured in Chicago
recently, and displayed tho "bloodv
shirt" like a veteran outrage-maker. A
report of her lecture says: Miss Dickin?
son then went on to speak of the poverty
at the South and their feeling to the
North, as she had observed in her recent
visit there. Southerners wore looking
for reform, a new party, and then they
expected compensation for their liberated
slaves. But it was the duty of the peo?
ple of the North to see -no ohange in
party. It was necessary to keep the
party that secured victory for liberty in
power and hold .it, over the heads of
the Sohth. Miss Dickinson closed by
speaking of her visit to tho groves of
12,000 soldiers in Salisbury and 13,000
in Andersonville, and the message she
resolved to carry to the North' from the
fallen heroes who fought for liberty was,
that liberty was still at Stake.

A-Washington letter; alluding the
notion of several Republican County
Conventions, in Ohio, in pronouncing
emphatically ng&inst tho third term'
soheme, says; "That the Ohio Conven?
tion will tako this action in looked upon
now as'very certain. It is ahws thought
here that the efforts which have been
at work to provent tho Pennsylvania Re?
publican Convention, which meets on
Wednesday, from making any . allusion
to tho third term, will certainly fail. The
example set by Pennsylvania, and Ohio
in this matter will, without doubt, bo
followed by the Republican Conventions
of most of the other States which may bo
called together in advance of the meeting
of tho National Republican Convention.
A rumor was circulated a: long the politi?
cians around the hotel.; to-dny, that a
letter from tho President, od the third
term, which would settle all doubts,
would bo produced at the Pennsylvania
Convention. Although some affected to
have confidenco in this statement, the
great probability is that thero is no
foundation for it."
Not Akiiaid of Death.?At ? o'clock,
yesterday evening, Ouachitn, the wound?
ed Cheyenne chief at tho barracks,
seemed to be in a sinking condition. He
was drowsy during the day and ate but
one meal. Ho is as nnxious as ever to
put an end to his life. Yesterday, one
of the officers determined to have a
thorough test of the brave's desire to die.
Taking a musket, and standing a few
paces off, ho took aim at the warrior.
"Good," said Ouachitn, as he folded his
arms and closed his eyes to await the
result. After waiting a few moments, he
opened his eyes and seemed very much
disappointed when ho found the officer
would not shoot him. Corporal Allan,
who was stabbed by Ouachitn at Madison
Station, was much improved yesterday,
and still stronger hopes are entertained
of his recovery.
[XashvilU (Tentu] Union, Mny'll.
Here are two straws which have some
significance as showing the financial
condition of tho country. The one comes
from thrifty, economical Connecticut,
and the other from quite-tho-reverse Chi?
cago. The Rank Commissioners of the
Nutmeg State report an increase in tho
savings bank deposits of Connecticut
from $70,7(;'J,0t)0 to $73,78:1,000 in the
past year? a gain of nearly four per cunt.
The May quarterly statement of the na?
tional banks of Chicago shows that since
January 1, 1874, there lias been a gain of
$8,000,000 in the loans, of moro than
$4,000,000 in legal tenders and cash, and
of $13,000,000?more than sixty percent.
?in deposits. These two reports from
widely-differing localities, pretty clearly
prove the recuperation of tho country
from the panic of 1873, and indicate a
sure if slow approach to an era of busi?
ness prosperity.
The Dunkers held their annual con?
vention at Covington, Ohio, last week.
Half the States in the Union were repre?
sented, and 50,000 people were in at?
tendance. This peculiar body of Chris?
tians has been in existence 167 years, and
they have been more steadfast to their
principles than have been most of tho
sects, in that amid all the changing
fashions and pomp and glory of the
world, they stick to their primitive cos?
tume and mode of life, and go through
the feet-washing process with a loving
zeal. The Dunkers allowed nothing to
be sold on the grounds at their meeting,
but shared their refreshments with their
visitors as far as they went.
An inquisitive colored citizen made
himself rather unpleasant to the Vice-Pre?
sident in Little Rook the other day.
Mr. Wilson was waiting at the depot for
tho tmin, when ho was startled by the
following conumdrum: "Boss, is Mr.
Grant gwine to run for President next
time?" "Well, I can't tell you, my
friend," was the reply; "he has not yet
informed his friends and the country
what his intentions are." "Well, boss,"
returned the incorrigible darkey, "if he
don't run, will you'.'" The Vice-Prcsi
dent hadn't time to answer, for the train
summoned him away.
It is intimated that the Pennsylvania
Republican Convention which meets
this week will give Genera Grant al very
strong hint to retire. It will pass a re?
solution taking it for granted that he will
retire to private life at tho end of his
present term of office; thanking him for
Iiis "eminently worthy, prudent and
patriotic administration;" and calling
upon the Republicans of the country to
make an early selection of a suitable
j Presidential campaign.
While riding in a stage coach from
Kinderhook to Albany, N. Y.. many

smoke away. I have often thought if
ever I was rich enough, I would hire
some loafer to smoke in my face." Mr.
Van Buren threw his cigar of out the

A Wholesome Stimulant, that is Ab?
solutely Pube.?Physicians throughout
the world agree as to the necessity for
diffusive stimulants in medical practice,
but complain, and with good reason, of
the impossibility of obtaining them pure.
The difficulty here presented would bo n
serious one indeed, if the class of agents
was limited to the adulterated liquors
and wines of trade. It {vanishes, how?
ever, when the absolute purity and ex -
traordinary restorative properties of
Hostetter's Bitters are taken into con?
sideration. Ab a stimulant the article is
absolutely free from everything objec?
tionable; but this is only one of its re?
commendations. If it were nothing
more than an excitant its effects would
be fleeting. It might refresh and revive
the system for a few minutes, but could .
produce no permanent benefit. The
stimulating elements of the Bitters is a
means, not nn end. The tonic, anti
bilious, dopurativo and aperient vegeta?
ble juices combined in the preparation
are the agents that impart vigor and
regularity to the weakened ana disor?
dered organization, the spirituous princi?
ple being ohiefly useful in diffusing their
influence through the system and other?
wise facilitating their operation. Alco?
hol, even in its purest form, is not so
much a medicine an a motive power, by
which the specifies of tho vegetable
kingdom may bo brought to bear upon
the debilitatod and disordered organs
that require renovating and regulating;
and it is in this way that the pure es?
sence of ryo incorporated in Hostetter's
Bitters increases the efficiency of the
purely medical ingredients. M28f3tl
Ii\is truly wonderful, the variety and
ingenuity of tho conveniences for the
desk and office?pens of varied patterns,
inkstands possessing nninberless ad?
vantages, letter files, each one the best,
envelopes of sizo and qualities infinite.
It is almost bewildering to enter the
large Broad street storo of Walker.
Evans A Cogswell, in Charleston, and
sec the number of these attractions.
Here you find the largest stationery
stock South of Baltimore, and you only
have two troubles?first, sufficient cash;
and, second, tho difficulty in deciding
among tho many things offered, each
equally suitable to your wants. M7f
