damaging effect u; on the e'ettion in New
Hampshire, that it was questioned whether
the republicans could carry the State

partial returns that have already been re

The A tic# and Courier takes a very
sensible view of the Centennial and the
South, by showing what an effect the ex*
hibition of her resources will have in
drawing the attention of strangers who
will visit the centennial, who may thus be
induced to invest their capital here, and
illustrates this by the impetus given to
Tennessee by the exhibition of her
minpruls at the Vienna Exposition, which
caused $1,200,000 of capital to be invest
ed.ra that State the following year.
A large portion of the Southern press
xhavc ridiculed the idea of this Centeuniahexhibition,

So.VK of our up country exchanges are
beginning to look at Port Royal in the
right light. The Progressive Age this
week calls attentiou to the importance of
having commuuicatiou from the interior
portion of the State, by railroads counect
"ing with the Port Royal R. R., and "are
satisfied that life and vigor could be imparted
to our waste places by coiumuication
with any point capable of sustaining
direct trade with Europe, and such thi.port
most undoubtedly promises." ItcoudSudcs

the energy of the two gentlemen in whose
hands this road is at present:
"Since the P. R. R. R. has passed into

Judge Mackey, has always been con I
sidered a wann friend but an iujplacable
enemy,?a man of contradictions?a man 1
of such versatile attainments that the p> ople
would not be surprised at anything
that he might do. On the bench he has
pursued a very cratic course, taking unto
himself powers that were never intended
to belong to any judge, it) some instances
making hiuiselfjuuge, jury, and prosecutor,
in fact such is his temperament that.
it would not be Mackey if he acted other j
wise. |
An attempt has recently been made for
an investigation, an initiatory step for his
impeachment, but it has fallen through,
not from any inherent love or respect that
the members hold for him, but from the
circumstances .that surrounded some ofj
his accusers, that cast suspicion on the ]
motives that actuated them. It fails, and !
immediately Judge Mackey orders the |
arrest of one of his accusers, Treasurer j
Yocum, on the train near Chester, to an |
awer charges, that he had himself made
against him of defrauding the county of I
Chester by abstracting and re-issuing u?-1
ca nee Hod school certificates, for years tu
which a tax for deficiencies had been
levied.

Ills Honor was a lit Je bit out of sorts
this week, the boys knew it at a glance
and the Marshal evidently felt it keenly,
when he brushed past him without
poking his ribs, or even winking or smiliug
ouce. Tiie bloom of youth had a
* ? .i .
grayish cast, and it struts us mm prubablv,
sonic one had palmed off on hiui
an inferior brand. We noticed that lie
did not play with his eyeglasses with
his accustomed sprightliucss. He
was ahead of time, and the Marshal
had not yet marshalled his host of offenders
against the numerous ordinances that
the council amend, repeal aud re-enact
with such striking regularity. He gave a
faint smile of recognition, as he passed us
before taking his seat, and we thought we
might venture a few remarks, and probably
draw him out'as to the cause of the
change we noticed on his fair yet man.

u Xow Robert Stoney, I have had my
?$es on you for a long time. I know
I you make a stray dime now and againi
but the trouble is you do n?t make
enough of them, so you have been arrested
for vagrancy, for having no visible
means of support. It is a very grave offense,
which is assuming gigantic projjor.
tious, in fact only last night on uiy way
home, I saw three young men clinging
very lovingly to lamp posts, which wathe
only thing that prevented me having
the 111 arrested on a similar charge. Can
you lay bricks, Robert ? '' "1 do'no ?SiY

the court. " You don't know anything

j this youngster and introduce him to the
boss of the board of public works, and
tell him to make a bricklayer of him in
the next ten days. "
''Emanuel Sauches, your offence is a

They say you have not a cent, and there- 1
fore you should not stay round here. Wc j,
call it vagrancy. But you have a bright i
and promising countenance, and as a [
friend of'mine lias paid a small fortune I
for the privilege of selling pop corn at the I
great centennial, if you will promise to '
leave the town, I will discharge you and i
give you a letter of introduction to him,
and he will give you a job. Start right
now, and avoid populous cities like Beaufort,
where her lynx-eyed officers may nab

i young man;" said his Honor, putting on
one of his blandest smiles. 4 'You are evidently
a good hand at taking down bricks,
i as you made a pretty large hole in
j the guardhouse wall last night.. It is a
J pity that you arc charged with vagrancy,
