OUR COURT.
j Our Com I adjourned on Saturday last, after
j being busily employed during the week. Not.
Kiiuiv criminal eases were tiiod, but from the
number of Bills found by the Grand Jury, we
suppose thut tlie Solicitor will have full employment
at the. next Term.
One of Ihe eases tried, was an indictment
against the Captain of a I'atrol for shooting
niul wounding a negro wl'.o was attempting to
; e.?cnpc. i 11 charging the Jury, hi# Honor stated
! the law to be that the 1'uli. had no right to
use h deadly weapon, except in a clear case of
I self-defence. The defendant was convicted,
hut as the wound indicted was Might, and
ll.ov.1 Wi |'I> In t I'Mliliff tMlVIiril^f !?/* ?? ?..
sentenced iiiervl/ to pay a fine of five doll a re.
Another was the indictment, of two of
?iir mo.?t resjK. tal.li> physicians, for disinterring
the dead body of a negro for the purpose of
li? < lion. Tliey plead guilty to the indictijj.-iiI,
nr.d alleged, in extenuation of tho offence,
that, it was done with the design of advancing
their professional knowledge?the noSi:i\?ng

one <]? ''av upon each, roinarlunc: that tlie comniois
law ollVncH'.?, mnt:y of llietn, required
sonic .statutory modification.
The l.-.-uc Docket presented few c;>33s o! imporUftit
litigation. One of the interesting
front t!so principle involved, was tItu ease of
Tic r hi 1'i/itifi/ vs." J'urlloir, being
suit upon a bond for the purchase money of a
negro, sol?l nt tlic Cotnmi-'sioncr'd Sale, and
|.i?ini i<? u?! unsound. riiysioinno testilled
that the i;cgro did of a disaa?e, which
existed at the time of the sale, and the chief
<1 nostion to ho dof^rmiticd was, as to the right
<if tho purchaser to claim a deduction in tli? j
price, where the Commissioner hail expresal}* ]
lefn-ed l<> warrant. Tho counsel for tho plain ,
tiii contended that this Very refusal to warrant j
had already diminished the prie.j of the negro,
ami this li. :: t ii I having ctiur>d to the purcha.-<r,
musl fiiljict. him to all rial's. ThoJudge
so charged the Jury, and aHirmod the light of
the Commissioner to disclaim sill warranty ait
hi-> salts. In accordance with this charge, the
Jury found for tho plaintiif. An appeal wil
he taken, and the law upon this ipicstiou set
tied definitely.

Tin. ilnglish and lYeneh have sixain renewed

f the Kng!i.-h ni:J Fret.--;> Governments, by
which the iii'u; '.rea y was ratified. And for
tl.i - |?mi | <is.- it does not.-eer.i to have been necessary
th.-.t the English and French Kinbassadors
shor.ld go to 1'eUin; for the exchange of j
the acts of ratification could have been lunde
just as well at Shatighae, or even at Cantrn.
But admitting that by the terms of the late
treaty the great contracting powers were allowed
to send Embassadors cveu to l'ekin, this i
lid not justify the English and French in ta- j
king witJi them .1 (."''siil: rable armament, I
amounting to upwards of twenty-five armed

ami French, and oilier envoy?, could liave !
gone to I'ekin in n peaceful way, and by such j
a route as the Imperial Government indicated
for tlie jmrpoie of exchanging ratifications of,
the treaties already made ; but it is not probable
tlat the Chiueec Commissioners ever gave j
I licit* consent to tlie introduction of an armed
lleot into their water*, in the interior of the
country. The conduct of the embassadors
seems lo have bi-cn precipitate in the extreme.
Upon their arrival at the principal mouth
of the I'eiho, and being informed that at the
more northern mouth of the river a high officer
was waiting to conduct them to lb-j capital,
they should at least have made an attempt to
ascertain its truth before forcing the river.
Our own journals are generally very severe
upon the course of our .Minister, \Vai;i>, ami
Cotnmodoiv T.itnajx, at violating our neutrality
in China, and some surprise has been felt
at the approval of their conduct by our Government.
Our minister, by being present with
the British attacking squadron, and by permitting
Commodore Tatnai.l to aid in bringing
up the Iiriluh reinforcements; seomo plainly
to have transcended his duty, under the inter
notional law.

complication is likely to grow otit of the

The St. John Morning News says the people
of Newfoundland are looking with intense
anxiety to the report, soon expected, of the
committee appointod hy the English oud French
government to inquire iuto the difficulties
existing between I'.ngland and France, with
reference to the Newfoundland fiMieries,
In 1857 the British government engaged in
negotiating n trea'.v with France bv which
tlicy conceded to the French cxclusivo rights

nations hove long enjoyed equal rights. The
news that this trenty was received in New

among thfe whole population, leading
to clamorous meetings, tiie tolling of all the

The Clerk receives about one hundred copies
of the Acts and Resolutions of the Legislature
annually, and disposes of about twentyfive
copies lo Magistrates and to tho different
Boards of Commissioners for tho District. The
remaining portion of said Acts and Resolutions
remain and arc accumulating in the Clerks Office,
to the great inconvcnirjice of the Office, and
on annoyance to the Officer. "We thereforo
recommend that the quantity now on hand in
said Office bo returned to Columbia by the
Commissioners of Public Buildings for this District,
.at the expense of the District. Wo aho
recommend that the Commissioners of Public
Muildiog* make some room Tor the keeping of tli?
Record Boohs of the Clerk'w Office.
Tito Sheriff's Office neods six Chairs. The
Ordinary's Office needs a Safe and six chair*.
The wood in the Offices should be kept to as not
to injure the plastering.
We rccommend that the Sash of Jailbefilled
and the blinds be taken from their present, position
and put up Inside, 10 prevent damage to the
glass b}' striking the Sash.
The Jail lot continues damp, and needs thorough

vcrsity of New York, and when he had tiuUhcd
his collegiate curriculum, he entered upon iho
practice of his profession, at White 1 (nil, in
; Abbeville District, in 1821.
} In ls>"2ti. Dr. Barratt intermarried with the
! widow of Richard Watson?the si.?ter flf 'WesJ
ley, Slaiiiuore, and Roller Brooks, and a more
| noble and spirited matron does not. exist in
j South Carolina. It is enough to say that she
; is the mother of the gallant Richard and lid'
waul Watson, of Palmetto memory.
! It was no difficult matter to augiir success for
! Dr.liari att, for lie possessed ill an eminent degree
, all those necessary qualifications which always
j ensure success in any pursuit?a constancy of
' purpose, determined will, great energy, inde;
latigablc industry, frank and open in hi;-, intorI
course with men: anil add to iln-so im.ni nm.
, ficieney and knowledge in his profession. It
I was not long until he attained to a high rank
j in iiia profusion, oud the reward of liis lalior
' was a largn and lucrative practice, which he
i held for more than thirty years. No one could
I he more deeply impressed with the grave rcj
sponsihilities of the Physician, both to his felj
low-men atid to his profession. His constant
! efforts were exerted for the amelioration of the
I one, and the advancement of the honor, dignii
ty, and usefulness of the oth. r. Every scheme
! Hint aimed at the elevation of the standard
I of Medical education, received his zealous support,
and lie was no inactive member in the
j inceptive organizations of our National, State,
I and District Medical Associations, liven after
I he had retired from ?hc active duties of the
. profession, his ardor in their behalf was uuaI
bated.
| ]Jr. I5arra(t's vigorous and active mind could
; not be satisfied by a restriction to the study of
: mere practical medicine, hut was wont to push
| its enquiries into nil those collateral sciences
| which tended to elucidate the great problem
,.ri :r.. 0...1 i??..?i. 'i\. ' i >
Natural Science lie contributed many valuable
, Kssays nnt| Lectures. which were replete with
profound research ami thought. To the study
i of Natural History, particularly, was lie enthu!
Blast icnlly devoteil, ami a large collection of
specimens, illustrative ol most all tlie natural
sciences, was - the result of iiis investigations.
11 is Museum, probably, is the largest private
| collection in the Southern States, lie was in
dcfatigahle in whatever he undertook, whether
; in his farm, garden, or Museum, Work ho
! would, and even after his physical powers had
been exhausted by the ravages of his terrible
! disease, he would cultivate his taste for the
j fine arts by his hartdi-work.
i It is not, however, to lir. liarratt as the T'hy
sieian ami man of science, that we are to look
i alone for his many excellencies. In the vari;
mis relations of private lif<-, of husband, father,
] friend and companion, iu the sick chamber and
around the domestic fireside, were exhibited
; those exalted traits of character which drew
. around, uud attached to him all who were for(
lunate to have formed his ncoiiaiiitance. Asa
citizen, he was nnrii'lii. liKon.l n?,l o..;..
. ? i - o?? i - -r"
ited, always ready to assist in any undertaking,
| whose object was the development ofthu Agri;
cultural, Mechanical, Floriiuturnl and llorticultural
resources ?>f his District and Slate. It
would not be saying too much to announce the
j fact that the inception and organization of tho
j present flouriiihing State Agricultural Society
' is due to Dr. lSuriutt and his friend and co-laborer,
Cnpt. Thomas 1$. Bvrd, now deceased.
I do not think I would incur the charge of eulogistic
exaggeration when I say that Dr. liarrait
whs no ordinal*)' man, that'nnturc had ns|
signed him no dubious position, but that lie
blood an intellectual chief in our midst.
Above all, his mental endowments were
adorned by man}" christian graces, patience
and fortitude, under all trials and altlivtiou*,
tempcrance and prudence in all things, humane
mid charitable to all who needed his humanity
I in uM>iu n>r jiih cnurny. ne accepted the will
of his Maker ns the rule of his conduct, and
steadily looking forward to Christ ns his grent
I Exemplar. lie lived n christian's life, and
I when the "dark vulley and shadow of deatli"
had to be parsed, he could any "I kno-v that
niv Kedeetncr livetli." No terrors were preI
edited to him. lie conld snv, "O death where is
| thy sting, O grave ivh?rc is thy victory." lie
, looked upon death a# but the entrance to "that
house not-made with hands, eternal in thehenv!
ens." Although laboring under intc-nse pain
I from his fatal disease, his inimi, though conscious
] of the result, was calm and clear to the Inst.
: No one could have witnessed his humilty, unI
repining submission, and earnest devotion, and
I 11*ji Lie- convinced 01 me truth of the religion of
Jesus Christ.
11 is death has can sod a loss to hie numerous
friends and society; but to lhnt fnmil}- circle ol
which he wns the centre of love, his loss is irreparable
and ead indeed; but they mourn not
ns those without hope, lie has gone to meet
life rewards of a well spent life : "Be ye also
ready"-~and may this bereaved family be able,
through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, to say?
"the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away.
Blessed bo the nntue of the Lord." lie leaves a
widow, eon and daughter, besides his numerous
relatione and friends to mourn his death.
