We have heard in Republican cir cle! considerable comment on the interview said to have been had by a New York correspondent with Gov. Chamberlain, in regard to Gen. Grant being the candidate* of the Republican party for a third term. Of course, there was considerable di vision of opinion. Ab for us, wc would have no objection to seeing Gen. Grant, President of the United States, lo, these many years, if the Republican party was a fixture; a party invincible, and incorruptible. Under the rufe of such a party, we would vote for Grant, just so long as he stood by the Constitution and the rights of the people. But what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. No certain political organ ization on this continent is perfect, and all are liable to defeat at times, and we would not like to see the pre cedent aet by the Republican party of making even Grant, Presideut for a third term. Wo have, in our politi cal experience, discovered this one fact, and that ia, it is hard to oust a Democrat from office once he gets in. He sticks tighter than coui t planter. And if the Democratic ..party gets possession of the White House again, then farewell sweet dreams of graiury plains, and svcetjsmclling flowers. Up amidst the lagoons and muddy lakes of Salt River will we, as a party, sojourn for many times,"many 'days? and you put'this third term business in their head,and they will not stop there. Rotation in office is not a fundamental' principle of the Democratic party'. We might elect* Grant the third time, and we might not. ...Let the result be ^S^r^mSif^^lo^^i^^^^tyta power aeca fit to put hita there. A man's ambition, in political lifo? is seldom stayed. He would work for the third term, the fourth term and so on, and on. The Democratic party iu our opinion, is just the party to staud by a good man for life, even as Presi dent. 60 we object to the third term business for any office, and stand by President Grant aud ?. Ooverh'or Chamberlain, who both denounce it. V c- The Court House. At last it really appears that we are agaiu to have one, and if the plaus and specifications as shown us are fai'hfully carried out, we will have good reaeon to be proud of our Court House. In response to the advertise ment of tho bounty Commissioners asking for bids for its erection, four estimates were handed in, the highest 530,500, and the lowest, that of Mr. J. H. Livingston, 828.90C. The contract of course was awarded to Mr. Livingston who we understand will begin work at an cnrly day, as it is said that its completion will be re quired within ?is ?h?rt a tira& :u possi ble. It is no email job to put together such a pile of bricks, mortar nndgrun ito as this will be. The gentlemanly architect, Mnj. K. E. B. Hewetaon of Columbia, who fur nishes the plans and specifications for the building, has given us the follow ing particulars in regard to its sis*, finish, and general accommodations. The structure will be 61 feet in width and 106 feet long, with a porti co projecting 10 leet in front suppor ted by four handsome Corinthian col umns of brick, but iron Cupitnls, tho whole colored to represent granite. The lower utory will be divided in to separate rooms for the use of the various county officials, and will be 13 feet ftom floor to ceiling. This story ii traversed from front to rear, and across from side to vide by an open arched corridor' 9 feet wide and 11 feet 0 in che* high. Euch offi cers room opens both, on these corri dors, and outside upon the grounds, nil to have fire places in them, ami the more important ouos separate and strongcr^smaJJ ^OQJU}S^tUUe>.pro?erva-. tion of their records. All of the stops, lower window sills, and water table running around the base of the build ing nis to be of Granite which will give quite a finish to its general appear ance. Passing up cither of the hand some flight of steps that gracefully wind their way to the portico on the upper story you will enter a . spacious hall occupying almost.the entire bulild ing,,and with a;ceiling- of twenty foot in the clear, ebout two thirds of the way down a handsome railing cuts of jthe further progress of outsiders, the ire maining portion being sacred to {he Judge, the Lawyers and jurymen who each havo their private entrances from the rear of the building, and will not be compelled on interesting occasions, to push and elbow their way through the. crowd, to their seats. In the rear of the Judges seat are two Jury rooms, and a private room for the Judges uso there will be four large firo places, in the c??rt robraYoPwiuter. use, and a thorough system of vcntilatiou for pro tection against the heat of Summer.. Perhaps some may say, all of this sounds well, and looks well - from the architects plans, but uro we going to have it ? We think so as the contract has been made with a responsible par ty, and there aro other responsible parties who are willing to try it at the snme price should he get sick of hit bargain, but Mr. Livingston means business, and we trust that next summer will see the court ^house completed as we have described it above. The building we understand will front on Main street) opposite the Baptirt Church, this is certainly a good idea, as persons passing up and down main street, see not only its hnndso.nc ornamental front, but both ?tides of the Main building, in their rich, plain, architectural beauty, which "Is well worth looking nt, we think our commissioners have shown a good deal of taste in locating it as they have d me. Prejudice. How many . men there are, whose 'prospects in life have been utterly forfeited,- whose honor and happiness liavc beeu wrecked, by a single pre-' 'judieo! mo3t of us have ample powers and menus, to judge And appreciate I things and persons; then why not use ; ^em^^^^et^^he^^^^y^^^^n^J I ?^WP?y^nTm?^rl^^h?b^a^ *orc doubtful (.of. its weight or purity, you )ar?;.vcry likely to assure yourself of the truth by judicious means, and yet, 'because he. has a good cunt ou his back, air oily tongue, and a pleasant countenance, 10 look upon, you will introduce to your family, without due inquiry, some dissolute person, who will steal your money, under the pre- < tenco of borrowing it, disturb your I domestic ties, and involve you in financial embarrassment, and mental mortification, and repentance. Beware, then, of prejudice. On what side soever you employ your judgment, whether to "approve or disapprove, look well at the thing, and turn it over on all sides, before you furin a judgment; a rash judg ment is a prejudice*, and thai prejudice is an error, which may beget other errors. The minds of ordinary people are mndn up of these prejudices or false opinions, which create more misery in the family circle, and the social sphere, than probnbly arises from any other cause. And the judg ment of this class of n*rml?? ?-? ---si led astray by the wilful and purposed media tiny of those, who desire to reek vengeance, and vent their spite upon their betters. Prejudice degrades the mind, and when wrong is done under it, it becomes a co-worker with the evil one. I ?Render*, bewareof prejudice. A Gentleman. One cnnnot be polite and well m.nn ncred without kind feelings and a good heart. All the rules of etiquette, all tho haud books, and "guides to socie ty" iu the world, are worthless, if you hnve nothing within your soul which tenches you, to do unto others as you would have thein do onto you. You may learn to bow, and to shake hands accordiug to the best rule* ot deport ment; you may mnke calls, exactly at the right time, and understand tho corners of your visiting cards thorough ly; but if you have $pite in your heart, and envy iu your soul, you will never bottuly well-mannered. If you de sire to beast, to be conspicuous, to monopolize attention, to hurt the fee? j iugs, of innocent peoplo, and to sow detention bctwo.cn "friends, you can ; not mako a gentleman of yourself, by I nny number of airs and gracc3. But j if you arc kind and good, and wish I people well, and prefer to say plcas ' ant things when you can, you will be polite without trying to bo, and only silly peoplo will criticise nny form of hearty welcome, any effort to make them comfortuble that may appear proper to you. Uarnwoll ra Blackville. Tbc Stete Board of Canvassers have decided tho( Court House, question. The Court House will be located here after at Blackville. The Barnwell burghers have our sympathy.
