The Netvs and Courier has raised an important question in reference to the term of office of Judges elected to fill out the unexpired terms of their predecessors. Judee Carpenter was elected December, 1872 ; Judge Cooke Januar j', 1873 ; Judge Reed December, 1874, and Judge Shaw Jamiery, 1875-all elected to Oil va cancies caused by death or resigna tion of office, and for the unexpired term of those whom they succeeded. By the constitution the circuit judges .<.:?. elected for the term of faur yeats, and it is claimed these judgesJiold office for four years from ti a . ??te of Uieir election. The News ; m advance?. m support of ?s kjfj?1'1"';: :i?K/.< -ii -tate j iapWtne Cvur>-. whick-declares that ?

"term of the person who last pre-/ "ceded him." We have taken pains to get the opinion of our local lawyers on this subject, and find them almost unan imous in the support of this position. Messrs. Glover & Glover referred us to the following cases establishing the tenure of office in South Carolina, determined in tho Constitutional Court of this State, by L\ J. McCord, Reporter t State vs. Jeter.-r-.T-Ue tenure by which an office is held does not de pend upon the commission which the Governor may think proper to give It is only evidence of the appoint ment. The tenure must depend upon the provisions of the act creating the office, or upon the Constitution.-1 31cCord, 233. State vs. Ephraim Lyles-A person olected Ordinary under the act of 1812, which limits the duration of office to four years, is in under the Constitution, and is entitled to hold || his office during good behavior, al though commisionud only for four years.--1 McCord, 238. State., vs. W. M. Unison.-Ordina ries, by the third article of the Con stitution of this State, are judicial Officers, and hold their office during good behavior ; and when ibo Gov ernor, under the act of 1815, ap pointed*.**] ordinary to fill a vacancy, although the act authorizes him only to make a temporary appointment UDtU an election shall take place, yet Hie ordinary being in office, he is io linder the Constitution, and uold du rjpg good behavior.-1 McCord, 2?0. State, VB,. Thomas Mcclintock. By the Constitution the Sheriffs hold their offices ' for the term of four years;} and when the Governor,, under the act of, 1808, appointed a sheriff to. fflla* vacancy until an election ^hould fake place, such sheriff, being |n office is in under the Constitution, apd holds his office for four years. 1 McCord ?io. MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.-Mr. P.' M. Hullo, ol' Graham's Station, S. C., don't "read the papers," aud while traveling from, his home on Monday towards Augusta on the South Carolina Railroad, considered it a favor when a newsboy introduced him to GeorgcClark, an oily-tougued confidence man. The gentleman from the pine wilds of Orangeburg county became fascinated with his new ac quaintance, and alter a stroll around ibo streets, they proceeded to a hotel selected by Clark. The pair retired to bed about IO P. M., and two hours after Hullo awoke to the realizing sense of being a loser to the extent ol 5213 in money and $70 worth in jew elry, which Clarie had abstracted from under his head. Thc police were notified, but Clark, better known lo them as Hendricks Clark, had made good bis escape to South Caro lina, via Hamburg.-Augusta Consti tutionalist. Neighbors' Thistle. A person was once walking with a farmer through a beautiful field when lie happened to sec a tall thistle on the other side of the fence. In a second, over the fence he jumped, and and cut it otf close to. the ground. "Is that your field ?" asked his com panion. "O, no !" said the farmer, '.bad weeds do not care much for fences, and it I should leave that thistle to blossom in my neighbor's field I should soon have a plenty of my own. Evil weeds in yours neighbor's field will scatter seeds of evil in your own, therefore, every weed pulled up in your neighbor's field is a dangerous enemy driven of! from your own, No one liveth or dietb to himself. All are linked together.. Sages of old contended that no sin was ever committed whose conscquen ccs rested on the head of sinner alone ; that no man could do ill and his fell ows not suffer. They illustrated it titila " A vessel ?ailinyr from Joppa carried a passenger, who beneath his, berth,cul ali?le through tho ship's side. When thc men of tho walch expostulated with him/'Whatdoes't ihoui 0, miserable man?' the offender j camly replied, 'What matters it tu you ? The hole I have made lies under my own berth.' " This ancient parable is worlhy of the utmost consideration. No man perishes alone in his iniquity ; no man ..an guess the full consequences of his ransgression. Wno CAN COUNT THE STAUS?-Did on ever try to count the stars? 1 sed to try lodoso myself, butsome ow I always fell asleq) before I ould get through, and when I woke p I could not tell where I loft off. am told, though, that it has been one, and that there are only about ight thousand visible to the naked ye. Don't they make a great show or a number no larger than that ? But be Raven tells me that his master, he Astronomer, says that those we ian see with our eyes alone are but i very trifle compared with the number ,hat he can see through bis telescope. [Ie says, instance, that there are eigh een million ot stars in the Milky Way. Now it's of no use ! can't even think >f such a number as that. My head ia n't big enough to hold them. 'Juck-in-the Pufpit."St. Nicholas for Oct. Posthumous fame is a plant of lardy growth, for our body must be ,1K! seed of it ; or we may liken it to i torch, which nothing but the last ipark of life can light up ; or we may :orapare it to the trumpet of the arch ingel, for it is blown over the dead : mt unlike that awful blast, it is of larth not of heaven, and can neither ouse nor raise us. Fear debilitates and lowers, but lope animates and revives ; there ore rullers and magistrates should tttempt to operate on thc minds of -heir respective subjects, if possible, ">y reward rather than punishment. And tids principle will be strcngthed tiy another consideration ; he that is punished or rewarded, while he falls jr rises in tho estimation of others, cannot fail to do so likewise in his >wn. Tho martyrs to. vice, far exceed tne martyrs to virla?, both in endu rance and number. So blinded are we by our passions, that we suffer more to bc damned than to bc saved.
