If our distinguished fellow citizens and fellow journalists decide to forego the libel suit, however, let them pack away their little booms among the other beautiful dead things of~ the past and. earve over each o: them the familiar ' epitaph: **If so early I was done for I wonder what I was began for." Camden Journal. To us it is never pleasant to speak of a man who has fallen. Adversity, al? though common to men, is generally tbe break up among his fellow men. There are few people so generous or magnanimous as to regard with charity the misfortunes of hb fellow man, and when tbe clouds burst there are always, or nearly always those who will forget the past and join in the terrible cry of the present. ' Therefore we never like to say aught against any one upon whom trouble has fallen, but it does seem to us that there . is a point at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue, and we so regard it io ~ the case of Jefferson Davis, late Presi . dent of the Confederate States. His ; garrulity, his desire to contradict and stir up embers among bis brethren of the army is too much to eodure, and while we could cover him with-charity, * if he was veiled all over in silence, yet we are tired of hi?nonsense, and we fag under his love of discord and harsh ?f -criticism.

Abbeville Press and Banner.' * Thc decision in the Alabama case re? ferred to proves nothing at all as to the South Carolina case. The Alabama case may have been decided according to law. But if no;, two -wrongs do not. make one right. What we contend is, that the South Carolina case was not decided according to the plain words of ; the constitution and tho statutes. We j have had nothing to say as to whether j a law depriving a woman of the right j to mortgage her property as security for ber husband was right or wrong. But we do say that a decision contrary to the law ia wrong* and wo believe that there can be ao question at all that the decision in the Rush case was wrong. We further believe that such strained construction of a law whereby one class of our people are enabled to ob eat an? other, is demoralizing to the last de? gree, and calculated to impair public confidence in the administration of jus? tice in the State. We thoroughly agree with the An? derson Intelligencer ip a . demand for a re-organization- of oar Supreme Court. Ou; files will prove that the Press and Banner bas heretofore earnestly pro? tested against auy change in the Courts, but the Rush decision, taken with the former practice of granting bail to mur? derers, of every degree together, make us ready for a change. The Legislature should take such steps as may bc necessary to re-orgau ize the Court, so that our most vital in terests may not be so easily overridden. We do not pretend to say how the mem? bers of thc Court should be increased, but there ?S no doubt cf thc ueccssity for a radical change in the present ad? ministration of justice in South Caro? lina. There is an old superstition existing to the effect that once a judge, always a judge. This must bc gotten rid of. The judges are presumably put in of? fice for the public good. Whenever a judge fails to perform his duty fully and acceptably he should be retired with no more hesitation than if he were a Governor. Thc office of Judge is no more sacred than that of Governor, and judging from the past administration of justice we think a few changes might be beneficial to the public. Let the Supreme Court be reor? ganized. CoL Peters' Advice. One of tbe jnoatJionored advisory members of tEe Young Farmer" Club, aa well aa one of ripe and rare expe? rience, ie Col. Eicbard Peters, of At? lanta^ Ga., a^man of big brain, big h?artSj?ig e^erppeS"and big results I B?s experience |as a/'breetlef of?sll krnWbf %hwe;-%ra?n?*?ef Hv^foclr j bas been very fruitful of cheer or warning to leas presumptuous breed era. When asked by a reporter what, bia advice would be to a young man who waa thinking of going into the stock business, be said he thought it was best for.a beginner to start on low-grade stock and build it up to a good standard, for the result would .be better than, if started on costly thoroughbreds alone. I think, said he, that those wrbo know me will ac quit me of selfishness-and certaiuly those who know bow readily J sell a! I the animals I can spare: will acquit ?me of any need of being Berfish-when I say that one of the most important j things is to improve the breed of onr stock, lt costs no .more, io fact , it costs^fmlch^ess,- toik?ep^a good cow or hog than a poor one. For exam? ple, take a man who owns five or six scrub caw*. v II he will buy a good Jersey bull of a pre-potent family, the heifers of hi's first cross will give him 50 per ceut. more butter, on an aver? age, and of a much finer quality than their mothers gave. It is an axiom that tbe bull is half the .herd. I have seen grades of the third cross that no ono could tell, by looks or butter, rrom:^e%?ster?? Jerseys; If ie bard to calculate how much good a fine, vigorous Jersey bull 'can db in a coun? try neighborhood. One mistake is frequently made that should be avoid? ed. -A4ialXrbreed male^should.never be used" tb Breed^tom. Itis the-male that lifts the grade, and a half-breed will lead a herd downward, no matter how'fine tn? females may'be. Where a Jersey is introduced hissons should be killed for beef or used for oxen, and bis daubters crossed to another pure-bred Jersey. In one cross any nran can- see , su ch a dirTerence that he will thank me for my advice. In three crosses' lie will have a rooet valuable hexd-as good butter makers almost aa registered^'Jeiseys. And Bo of;| hogs. A tanner, by crossing his scrub bogs to firmer breeds, will get, in One cross, a Compacter' and better hog that will fatten more . readily and on less food than his scrubs. Another thing will follow: When a farmer im? proves his stock he will take better care of it, more pride in it, and will increase bis herds and flocks. The compost heap, the - pasture,,the hay rick and corn .field follow cattle and sheep, and this gives us diversified farming, -without trenching one bale on thc cotton crop, which, of course, mast and should remain our great crop.-Southern Cultivator for June. v JIr*i5^t8 Got a Reply A correspondent who has been read? ing the anecdotes about Senators in onr last number was an eye-witness of the following occurrence : ..?At NeW; York., ?ty> in the fall of 186-, a case was tried before Judge Sutherland, in which the law'firm of Evarts, Soatbmayd. & Choate appeared for the defense. Mr. Evarts made the concluding argument,- and the fame of the great counselor secured for him a considerable audience of lawyers from qetgJhberieg courts, in .addition to many persons who had' more or less interest in the proceedings. ? Mr.-Evarts bad been speaking for some hours and was evidently nearing bis peroration. He began to som up his arguments, and asked impressively what answer, could be made to them. Again he placed the points in lucid array, an d again asked a similar ques? tion. Theo a third time he restated bis cass with vivid' eloquence, and once more, in louder tones, wound up with : - 'What is their anSweri' < He paused. You could have . heard a pin drop. ' Suddenly the door bf the court-room opeaed, and a peddler, sticking his head and a feather-duster into the opening, cried oatt 'Brooms/ : Io a moment the room was ringing with uncontrollable laughter, in which everybody joined-even the judge on the bench and the orator himself. Mr. Evarts, however, kept on his feet, and was the first to recover composure. With his hand raised to command at? tention, as the roar subsided, he said, solemnly: 'That was not, indeed, the reply which I expected. But yon may rest assured that when you do get their answer you will -find it equally frivolous and inconsequent.'-From the "Por \ folio" of The American Magazine. Declaration Filed. The Catawba Fall Improvement Company, of Chester, has filed their declaration with the Secretary of | State. The company has a capital stock of $100,000, and is organized to conduct the business of buying, sell? ing, improving and making loans on real estate. Mr. Lamar asserts that while tbe population of the South baa increased over fifty per cent, since 1860, the large cotton crop of last year was only twenty-five per cent, greater than the crop of I860* He thinks that our po? pulation is increasing about twice as fast as our ability to feed and clothe it, that many of the Southern cities which depends upon agriculture for their trade are languishing ; that almost every Southern plantation is encumbered with a mortgage, and it takes all the money the small planter can get for his crops to pay for the supplies be consumed while raising it That miserable old reprobate, J. Madison Wells, who as President of the Louisiana Returning Board, helped to count poor Hayes into thc Presiden? cy, is in New Orleans now for the pur? pose of collecting bis share of the pro? ceeds of that infamy, be ciaiius that ho had an agreement with Kelo^g where? by he was to have au appointment as tax collector. He was not appointed because Badger, one of thc carpet bag knaves, held the place and could not well be .removed. He then secured j from Badger an agreement to share the proceeds of the fat office. This con? tract was subsequently repudiated and old Wells is now threatening to resort to the courts to have his corrupt con? tract confirmed. This seems to be one of those remarkable cases in which thieves having fallen out, the public may hope to hear of something to its advantage. Something You Need-Shorthand. "Why?"
