EXTREME1s MEET.-A member of the House of Representatives has offered a bill reducing the salary of circuit judges to two thousand dollars per annum. If the bill becomes a law, pettifoggers will -wear the ermine. No jurist of any eminence Will have the position, even if thrust upon him. In our opinion the salary should be in creased to five thousand. R. 0. X. REMOVAL.--Mrs. Simmons, the aecomphpshed teacher, who his been sojourning in Ridgeway for two years, has accepted an invitation from Captain Stack to move to his neighborhood, a good school for ten, or even twelve, months being guaranteed, and a handsome stipend paid monthly, with dwelling and school- rooinfree. Mrs. Simmons carries with her the regrets and the best wishes of the entire com munity of Ridgeway. ILLUSTRATION BY PICTUREs.-One of the great contrasts between the School books used by the fathers and mothers of the land, when, young, and those now used by the childron, is the use of pictures. As a curious inst'ance of illustrating the meaning of words by pictures, look at the three pictures of a Ship on pago 1751 of Webster's Una bridged Dictionary,-those alone illustrate the meaning of more than one Au?ndred words and terms far better than they can be defined by any description in words. DENTAL NOTICE.-Dr. Isaiah Simp son, Surgeon Dentist, Winnsboro, S. C., takes this occasion to return his grateful acknowledgments to his friends and the piblic generally for the confidetico reposed and patronage bestowed during the past two years.

Call early, as lhe will be absent two weeks from the 20th of 'February. * RocKY MOUNT ITEus.-The solid men here are conservatives and old fogies.

Endure and get straight, or look for the sheriff -The Temple of Janus, Justice Scott's office, is closed until the next battle.' GUNTER. LET JUsIoE PaHva.-.A tract of one hundred acres of land near :Ridgeway, the property of a white person who died intestate and without heirs, was eacheated to the State, and was ordered by the Radical Legislature to be sold and the proceeds expended in building a sohool-house for colored children. It was done ; that is, a portion of ; the proceeds was. used for that I purnase 'Aft4rwads the same Legislature passed a law placing the building in the hands of the school brustees for free school purposes, ind now, as ever since the erection, the negroes have a good school house, JVhilO the white people either have to rent a vchool--house, or remain everlastingly toithout / Now we rise to object to the escheating of the land of a white person to the purpose of building school-houses for negroes-while our own little Confederates are out in the cold. The State should provide (according to Judge Mackey) for both her twins-the white as well as the colored, without fear, favor or affection. R. 0. X. THE SIXTH CIRCUIT. Xessrsq. Editwr .---In your issue of the 26th imh,ii. you mention the names of ce,hinl gentlemen as fit and proper persons to fill the vacancy now existing in the judge ship of the Sixth Judicial Circuit. Those who appreciate a pure judi ciary, and treasure the memory of the judges of the olden times, earn estly hope that tho spirit of your remarks may strike a responsive chord in the breasts of our Demon cratic legislators. No reform in South Carolina can be complete that passes over the judiciary, and there is no department of our government that stands so much in need of purification as the judi ciary. It would seem almost a crime against civilization itself to place the judicial ermine upon the should ers of a man who was notoriously corrupt and unscrupulous. Are the rights of persoeis and property safe and secure in the hands of a judge in whose personal integrity neither bar nor'people have any confidenco whatever ? Does it not offend against the genius of our free insti tutions to entrust the * administra. tion of justice to a man whose only qualification for so exalted a station is the facility with which the judicial functions are p.orverted I Too m-iy of our people are prone to allow considerations of expediency and "policy". to influeDee them in determining grave issues. The Legislature has a serious work before it in the selection of circuit judges, a work that will affect the future of the whole State, and it behooves the members to act cau tiously, and with all the- wisdom they are capable of exercising. The fate of posterity is involved, and it will be jeopardized by hasty and imprudent action. A pure judiciary wais once the brightest jewvel in South Carolina's crown ; and there was a time in the history of our State when to sit upon the Bench was to enjoy the proudest distinc tion that could be conferred upon any citizen. Thei'e was once a time too when so high an honor was awarded only to those members of the Bar who were conspicuous for purity and integrity of character. May we not hope that the Legisla ture now sitting in Columbia, to whom the people look to efface every stain left by Reconstruction, will revive a custom that added so much in the days of our prosperity to the glory andl renown of the State? i Rmrv Cuss.
