The weather seems to bo as bad ly mixed up us the Coosaw muddle, but we trust that the weather will clear up and bo all right long bo fore the aforesaid muddle will pro bably bo Hottlod. Law suits are ex pensive pleasures and we are atrald our "mother, the State," has got an expensive pleasure on her hands in tho Coosaw business, but perhaps our "one-eyed" officials can see further into the muddle than we can, wo will awuit results with groat interest.
