Hot-Headedness. "Wo Sprint elsewhere in to-day's pnper a short article from the Journal of Commerce in which that paper, while it gives us credit for shrewtl nessj^ceuses us of being "grand motherly" and mistaken in our opin ion of its temper, and the spirit which inspires its course. ~\Vc greeted our contemporary with such a cordial welcome that it is with considerable reluctance that wo arc constrained to differ from some of its conclusions. If to .advocate an honest and economical government for all South Carolina-be "grandmotherly," we tell the Journal of Commerce that we are content to occupy that possition, and to continue to do battle op that line; for it is our opinion, forced upon us by .the. .united expressions of the people, that the prime and para mount object of nil parties now is to secure to South Carolina a just, in tcllc'gch't, and honest administration of public- affairs Of course they want men for this work whose garments arc not stained with the corruptions of the past, and whose antecedents will be a sufficient, guarantee to the people that if elected they will rule fairly and righteously and help to raise this tax-i idden State from bankruptcy and .ruin and place her once more on the road to prosperity. The "mild mniincrdness" of the Journal of Com merce will not be effectual in bring ing about this consummation. Its editor needs first a cold hath to show him the excited :datc of his pulse, and salts, and snrsaparilla, and sassafras tea to cool and tone down the unnatural warmth of his Bourb on blood. After going through a pre scription of this kind for a mouth or so, he might be brought down loa level with our common and practical humanity, where, upon reflection, he would,,acknowledge that his sweel temperdness was nothing more nor less than bold, rash, inexplicable hot-hcadedncss. lie would then be of use. The Journal of Commerce is a new venture and we should like to see it Esuccectl. If, however, its success is to militate .in any way'against the interests of the people, we cannot hope ioT-it that career which we would otherwise be glad to sec it enjoy. Charleston is tho metropolis of old Soi\tU-..Gftrolina, and one of the most important commercial cities of the Southland she should have a journal of principle and character to speak for^bjar- merchants,' her lawyers and her doctors; but thetoncof that paper, to make it acceptable to Mm masses, riiuffgjggrjJ$ accord with the interests : of nil the lax-payers of the State, and liot'j^inj; to. the corrupt level of the miserable mouth-piece and apologist of this oY'llial political faction in its owif*Mtfyhe.j Until recently a large and influential class of the citizens of Chajrl^t^i)' jtj'cro., entirely without a newspaporv to represent them. Wo allude to the.1 Germans. In the last city election tho A'ejns and Courier not ourF, "ignored that wealthy and influential,class ;of people, but actually insinuated that they had ho particu ]hr right tpj <say who should govern their<> cityi> It went around them in its love lor jMnckcy, Cunningham, and Iho A'r.xs'uud Guvricr, and as good as said jiax it did not care the snap of one's-linger for their wishes. These and f35'U?if J'jjjnsons rejoiced us when the bright newsy face of the Journal of QfoKMffW? n)ri?e its first appearance upon our table. But we tell it to-day it in a spin^of candor and friendship, that if it*'course is tobosulfish und Te?Jr'?irty'">h; the people will not sup porl0,If.^ T$d' News and Courier re presents a clique, and is endeavoring to polbthc?,people of tho State after it. It is delighted with its view of the situation, and presents dally pictures of it in varying.colors. If one wont fake the eye the ?ither will. Now Ute ] people iWQKel Id?uhiry are not asses. | Thry^i^tjw^a :-;nal;e when I hey see its tuijzrynP?lrcv haye determined to do n bJ^Oy-thiiuiiug' for themselves this year. ?" They see in the News and Couftp*?'". ijoursc a Cunuinghnm M 1x^9^ "varmint," a sleek, fat cor ru jS'rlfilhVt, who would steal the ino JnsFoa out of a '.'ingerenke if hfcould, and they have decided to have none of it iu theirs. And they begin to suspect now that the Journal of Com merce bns a little plnn of its own that it will present to them shortly; a plat form 10x20, embodying the act of secession, Ben Hills speeches, and the Black Code; nil of which they arc prepared to consider nnd cast behind them. Docs the Journal of Commerce still think us "grandmotherly ?" Tho Courts of Sessions and Com mon Picas.

Zimmerman ngainst Amakor?suit for injunction and reliof. W. J. Dc> Treville, Esq., and Glover & Glover for the plaintiff, and Messrs. A. B. Know]ton and Izlnr & Dibble for the defendant. This was indeed a cause eelebr e% and quite n number of persona f rom Lewisvillc nnd elsewhere came to witness the measuring of swords by 11 ir; distinguished counsel engaged in t ho case; but it. .seems (hat they wero destined to be disappointed. After argumcct the Court ruled out the answer of the defendant ns irrcspon flivc and insufficient, nnd made the injunction ngainst the defendant ab solute.

Glover & Glover for motion and A. B. Knowlton. Esq., against. Motion denied The Court wns a very ? interesting one, and will long be remembered as oue fraught with much excitement. ??????>? mmmmmmmm [COM M L'XICATKD.] Mr. Editor?Having casually heard that the communication in* News ami Courier with reference to ''Trial Jus tices," has brought out a reply, al low me to say that the remarks were made upon iho system, and no allusion was had to any special officer. The Court iu itschaigc located \t generally, referring to the useless litigation and anuoyance brought about by incompe tent officials, and my article used the term general, which should have been applied only by those who fell under the lash of the Judge. A competent officer in that position will always be able to show the public that he is an excepticn to the rule that has been set upon the many incompetent, who have brought odium upou the system and themselves. News & CorniEti Colt. Bitter Sweet. Our Orangcburg contemporary, the News and Times, is shrewd in some things, but a trifle graudinothcrly in others, as the extract which we print elsewhere will conclusively prove to ever) discerning reader. #,T^be News and Times shrewdly observes that our Broad street neighbor docs not repre sent the Democratic population of the State. In reality, our Broad street neighbor does not profess to be a Democratic .paper. It talks Demo crat sometimes, to bo sire, as Grant talks horse, by way of diversion, and it frequently tells Democrats what they ought to do for their own good and the advancement of its favorites. But it don't profess to be anything but an independent paper, nud knows more of what ought to be done from its own standpoint than all the Demo erats that ever got together in con vention. The News and Times says the Journal ok Commerce is bitter and therein the * etc* and Times is graudmothcly. We are not bitter at all, wc arc only straight. Wo are the sweetest-tempered and tho mild est-mannered paper that is printed in South Carolina, but wc are straight. The old notion that Democracy is only another word for hotheadedness and excessive zeal is altogether tin exploded notion. Level-headedncss is the most useful quality for Demo crats to possess. To be level-headed in all things is the constant aim of the Journal of Commerce.?Journal of Commerce. certifTc ate^fToIvTm k n d ation . This is to certify that Elder A. P.
