Our Court.
Our Court adjourned on Saturday last, but
without furnishing the business of the Term.
Tltu press of bustncrs upon the Criminal Doei
keis, occupied so large a portion of the week,
that his Honor was forced to leave manv cases
on tlie civil side of the Court untried.
The most interesting trial of tho term, was
j the cat": of Is:ia?' Logan, tricil for the homicide
of Wnlhtco Wilson. Tiie prosecution was conducted
by the Solicitor, with hi* usual zeal and
ability, and the prisoner was ably defended by
Mrs<r?. Marshall mid McGovvnn. Tin; trial occupied
the whole of Tuesday; and tin; jur}- of,
ter ht-veral hours deliherution, found the j?ris
oner guilty of manslaughter. He was pentcne.
ed to pay a fine of one thousand dollars, and
to be hiijirifOiwil for twelve months.
Another ca.?e of homicide, wan the arraignment

about. 15 yearn, for the killing of n negro hoy
of the Mime age.'helf nging A the estate of Miss
\ Catharine Wnlson.* The hf^i^Av was clearly

The only point >> tlio I Scull, i<?si of
: prnctieal utility to tlit* South, is the averment!
that. Shivery exi.-ts in tin- lert it*?i-i? 9 of the
| United States under the protection of llie (.'on
; slitniion, nin! that no territorial legislntuio
j can constitutionally refuse to legislate for it*
| protection. Ilallirnis, that Congress Inn no
(right. to abolish Slavery in h territory, and
' consequently can authorize no tcrritorinl lcgisj
latui'c t?? exercise the I iglit : that the Constitui
tion recognizes the right of the Master to pro
I pertv in his slave, and makes no distinction
i between thnt species of property ami others,
j am! then fore that no trihunul acting under
; the authority of the United States, can deprive
t!ie institution of its const itutionnl guarni. ties. j
These positions arc entirely repudiated in i
! the following extract from Ju.lgt* Douglas's i
Freeport Speech : j
The next question Mr. I.in>'oln propounded ;
to me is, 'Villi t he people of a Territory cXvluile j

A Southern Work.
Wo arc indebted to ihc author for a oopv of
I a work of'JlM passes, entitled a '"Catechism of
! United States History, etnhrajin; tho chief
j events in the history of the nation from its car|
licst period to the present time, by li. R. Car
' noLi., Charleston S. C."
The object of the Book is to present a comI
pendioiu view of lho history of the United
; States, and in carrying it out, the experience
i of tho author has induced him to adopt, the
method of question ami answer as affording
i the greatest amount of matter in I he Emallevt
j space. The work is intended to be tho record
I of facts, not opinions, and claims no special secj
tional favor.
| Tlie Author has dischnrg/gd his task with
: great care and ability, and has furnished'a val;
liable contribution to tho causo of school cuu
j cation. The work too iu its neat and tasteI
fill typography, is highly creditable to Southern
i enterprise and skill.
No w Cottou Screw.
i Wo have recently examined says tho Chronj
icle and titnlincl, the model of a new Cotton
Screw, tlie invention of 0. 13. Hack, of this
! county, which we think is superior in its coni
slruction to auy other Screw we have seen. It
' combines simplicity of construct ion and cheap;
ness. with strength and speed, and occupies n
I very amall space, not exceeding six by ten fc*t
I square. It may be put up in the gin house,
having the lop extending into the cotton loom,
! and may be driven tty a belt connecting with
j the gin gearing. A hor6e at ordinary work j
I speed will pack a bale of cotton in threo or I
| four minutes, weighing six hundred pounds.
Mr. Hack will exhibit his model at tho State
Fair nt Atlanta during the present month, when
planters will do well to cxamino it for themselves.

that it seems th<-y I'lvrjnviit 1 v have large amounts
of Cimli on hand, sometimes s>o long ii* twelve
months without accountiti<? for any inti.-rc?l?
for instance, the 0?*t eral ami Suh Trcsurer of
the Commissioners of Roads ami Hriilu-'S have
on hats<l at this time, ca-.li to I he amount of
$'S50o; tlo- Commissioners of the I'oor, SlRiti'i,

lu vi. iv, therefore, of the largely increased

would sul'iii-si that tin: Commissions of the fluid

for reeci* ing ami 1 per ecnt. for disbursing.

tlicv return again to former usage nn<l have
I heir reports published in the /tanner and I'rcM
( r the in-peetioii of tJio | uldio.
We would also rojxM-t, thai the Oilt.-dnor
I* n>ion system of tlie Commissioners* of the
I'oor is not in neeordanee with nn economical
<xp"liditu!-e of til.- public money, and liable to
v? ry p-eat abu.-e, and that, therefore the whole

j \Ve would also report that thi? con-mission^

I double what they were ten or twelve years
j ?g?>, whilst llio hihor of collecting them is no

at present, not. less than I f.OO, a remuneration,

tliat we find 1 lie Jail, particularly the
! prisons in the Jail, in lather a lilthy condition,
and in much need of the scouring broom ami
white wash l>ru.->h, ami we tnneh fear there is
carelessness in the keeping of the keys of the

We would apnin revert lo the report of the
Commissioners of 1!<>?<U nnil Bridges. ami report
that the Board of Commissioners have
I i in it eil t he coin mission of t he General Treasurer
to $10, ami yet, noLwithstnml inp such an order,
he has received commissions to the ainouut of
fliiS ; ami would also report that their whole
business seems to be managed carclessl}' and
extravagantly.
Also, the Little River Bridge at Searh-'s
| Mills has been r<ported to as in an unsafe
condition.
We also hejj leave to present the Retail Liquor
shops at Abbeville C. II. as a public nuisance,
not only as a curse to the village but to the
sui rounding country, and wo regret to find
; iiiciii noi only loirrateil lint countenanced, pa
i lionized and supported l?y so many prominent
I citizens at Abbeville C. II., and wliiUt we have
to confess that tin-re lias been 110 advance in
(lie cause of Temperance, anil are const rained
to feel that any, ami all reformation must conic
through .the agency of the Church of God and
thrpuglrtiio influences of his Spirit, we very
much fear that any more stringent laws than
the existing laws could r.ot be enforced, and
would remuia a dead letter upon our Statute
Looks.
We would also present the Town Council ol
Abbeville Village as careless and inefficient.
All of which is respectfully Mibiuitle?r.

materials, imnh .!s, Ac., belonging to the Crystal
I'alaee Asocialion. An attempt was innilc
by some nf tho managers to stop tho progress
?f tho flames hut without success, and in less
than fifteen minutes frotn the lime of alarm the
dome fell, and the whole edifice was enveloped
in ll-imes. The loss may bo estimated nt
ovei a million <>l dollars ; the original cost of
the l'alaeo win oight, hun<lro(l tliounaii'l, mid it
i> inf ]>ro|i- riy 111 it belonging to the
contributors was woith over a million of dollars.
TI if iv were about a thousand vis iters
di>tributed about the premises at the breaking
out of the fire. Considerable ex?iteinent prevailed,
and many became eon fused ami unablo
to liipl their way to the do.>1-4 of ogress. The
whole structure was brought to the ground ill
lo<s than thirty minutes from the discovery of

vided in city companies. The origin of the
