One of the bills reported on j ^ unfavorably was to reduce the number of j i 'Trial Justices in this couuty aud pay * ;them a fixed salary. In previous issues we have shown how ; t >ihe fee system is detrimental to the in- t Merest of peace and order, by offering an j ^ inducement to multiply the number of j j petty cases, at an enormous expense to I c .the county, engendering, strife, bricker- t - ing and qnarelling that ultimately | culminate into a breach of the peace, to \ be adjusted by a Trial Justice, each case ! j forming a nuclus for other disturbances, | thus increasing the expenses of thecoun- ? ty and multiplying the number of eases j ad libitum. fa With a fixed ealary for Trial Justices c - and constables tbis incentive would not t * exist, u the remuneration would not de- 1 poad on the number of eases adjudicated; justice would be better subserved, as tri- ? vial eases that oi^ht never to. come into t . iJ J: i ?-.-.St. i? i WU4V WUU1U UV UI UiUV^U, ailU TCAlttlll 1U~ , ca litis that have a chronic affection in > ihifl direction, wouM be greatly benefitted thereby. This iaa inform much needed and we hope the bills will pass, and be come a law. " ' The Census of this St ate as published by the Secrctaiy of S Vtte shows the 1 amount of crops raised ex closively by the colored people. It does n>H include the crops raised on shares. The result is ^ 'blattering to the freedmen, vTho are cer- ^ tainly efficient laborers. 'They rai-ed 1,177,732 poands of loug stable cotton ; (all, with the exception of 460 .pounds, k beiqg produced in the two counties of ( Beaufort and Charleston,) 27,153,871, 1 pounds of short staple cotton; and of rice 176,194 bushels; of com 36,793 bushels; j of oats, 47,555, bushels; of peas aud beans 143,016 bushels; of potatoes, * 361,802 bushels; of hay, 1,544 * tons; of turpentine, 211,190 gallons, and 1 of rosin, 27,357 barrels. They own 10,- J 431, horses, 10,244 mules and asses, 25,263 milch cows, 7,365 working oxen, 3,- ? 866 sheep, and 78,186 swine. Their farming and mechanical implements aggre- * gate in value $265,956, slaughtered ani- v mak $227,067, market garden productions $211,051; while the fertilizers they used in die production of their crops ag- J . gregated 11,631 tens. ' Add to the above almost the entire f crop of the State, produced under the di- 11 rection of white planters, and we have a : ? record of the industry of colored neo - pie which is not equaled by anf similar ' j, class of people in the world. In the face ( of these figures it is all nounsense to d <. say that colored men will not work. Thi Barnwell resignation committee 9 - that was to have waited upon Gen. P. L. \ Wiggin, and request him to resign from ii liia elected position of Judge of this cir- i* - cuit, failed to perform their mission, thus j showing that the last spark of common t] ; sense has not yet become extinguished in a the old village of BarnweM. We thought tl that in their cool, calm moments, they ^ would think better of it and abandon a their mission. fi Br the report of the State Supt. of ^ Education, its appears that there is a a acholastic population of 239,264 in this *j atate, of whieh 1 S3,698 are colored j, and 85,6.16 white, af this number 46 0 per cent, attend the free com- v moo schools. The schools during the past j s( jear, were in session four and a half ( S| months. The total amount of money ex-: pended during the year for school pur- : p poses was $426,462 99. The amount rc- ' J, quired this year to keep the schools open : j, six mo' ths, is reported as $600,(XX). j t, j Q The joint committee appointed annual- j ly, in aeoordance with the law by the I tj .genend assembly, to examine the books \ ^ of the state treasurer and comDtroller- \ i. r , ln general, has submitted it6 report It is | t] signed by V. B. Nash, on the part of j r( the senate, and P. Simkins and M. J. ! Hirch, on the part of the house. The ex-1 amioation has been more thorough than ever before. Every item in the books of the fiscal officers of the state has been examined and cheeked off, and the tables accompanying the report give inter- ^ osting and exact information as to the source from which the revenue of the e3 jtct^ has come, and the object to which every paymcut has beeu applied.

C A rumor has been extensively cir- 1 ulated ihit the proprietor* of this paper 1 ogether with the collector of the port it inve formed a combination to obtain the i J on tract.for suppiyiug, the fleet with wa^r, at present enjoyed by Messrs. Dick i 1 nd Small. To deny every rumor iu this j t own that is circulated, having no foun- i ( ation in fact, would keep us constantly ; t mployed, but this is so void of truth j 1 hat we cannot let it pass by uncontradic- ' 1 ed. Messrs.

The commis- { iouer claim that this will interfere with . heir work, and the committee will not. rield. Mr, Langston, says iC that Con- i jress ha3 uo right to pursue the course * narked out for the investigating commit- | ee. The bank wa$ incorporatccr by Congress, and is a private concern, and un- j ess the government proposes to a-?snine 1 he responsibility of paving the deposiors in full, it has no right to make politi- ( al capital at the e.vpense of the poor recdmen. " Tlie point is considered by >rom:nenfc lawyers as well taken, ani an * sfi'ort will be made to check further inerference by Congress. ( The National Democratic Committee \ rill meet at Washington on the 22d of February, to determine the time and dace for holding the Convention to noinnate candidates for President and Vice- j President.. As the Republicans have se- , ected the 14th of Juue, it may be asiumed with confidence that the Denio:rats will chooso a later day, in order o profit by any blonder of their adversaries, and to improve on their platform.

The Xew Xaral Station. I Description and History of Port Royal, the "flew city oftXe gontk." [Correspondent N. y. 3a*.] Port Royal, 8. C., Jan. 17.?The ' Congress, carrying sixteen guns arrived 1 lere to-day, and Port Royal will hence- < forth be designated officially as a Uuited States naval station. Its adaptability to j ;he wants of the North and South Atlan- l ;ic squadrons is most admirable. The , larbor is one of the largest and most shelered along the entire coast. Port Roya! ( jar is situated between Charleston and i savannah, on the 32d degree of north lat- < tude, 3 minutes and 46 seconds; longiude 80 degrees, 30 minutes and 46 sec>nds. There are three entrances to the 1 larbor; one 17 feertn depth and a little ?ver 300 yards in width, another 19 feet 1 n depth and 1200 yards in width, and a hird 20 feet iu depth and about 300 yards . ride. < There are two tributaries to the harbor, ( Iroud river, having a wide channel aod n average depth of five fathoms for neary twenty-seven miles, ami Beaufort riv- ] r with a depth of seventeen feet to with- i a three miles of Beaufort, and thence ,{ bout fourteen. Far three or four years the settlement ] f Port Royal, twelve miles back from the s iarbor, has been regarded as the uNew i Hty ot the South," in couscquence of its ( esignatiou as the eastern terminus of the t hortest line of railway to be constructed j .1?

Much work is now necessary in 3 lie way of shops, Ac For the present, . ist)ad of a special building, a commodius vessel will be anchored here, to be de- a oted to hospital purposes, and the con- a truction of buildings will be advanced as pecdily as the appropriations will permit. 1#> The shipments of guano through ^ 'ort Royal has, during the past year, n cen steadily increasing, and an entcrprbe t 1 the city of Augusta will tend to its fu- a irt extension.
