County Courts—-The Convention. It is believed Ly tlmie who linvn taken tho time and pains to investigate the mat ter, that at least ono-half oi the criminals in Georgia have heretofore gone unv/hint of justice. Why wes this tho case? It was not attributable to tho disinclination ot the Courts and juries to maintain tho dignity of the law.-, or a desire on tho part of the citizens to -*uro*-n the guilty. Tho failure to punish arises from a do* feet in our judicial system—the non-oxist* eneo of a clause in our constitution pro viding lor County Courts, with jurisdic tion over petty offence*. ITndor our laws, tjie otfender, on fuiluro to give bond, is 0 lien com poled to lie in jail six months before the sitting of a cuiyt at which a true hill cun l*o found; and nt said term, oftener than otherwise, a oonti nuance is granted, thereby placing his trial twelve or more months utter the commission of tlm indictable act. In tho meantime the prosecutor relents, the witnesses die or emigrate to other Slates, the violator of the law is acquitted, tho county forced to pay heavy jailor’s foes, ami a belief i- forced upon the public mind that pro«o- tuitions should imt be resjrted to except in high or capital offences. The conse quence is crime iiiereasoo. The Superior Courts, in many counties, owing to a press of other and equally important business, can not give Inals to one-half tho otlenders. though both par ties wore prepared and anxious. If such have been the facts in tho past, what will be the condition of tho c »untry with tho negro emancipat’ d and living amongst us? Our people well know the black?’ inclinati m t> lawlessness when 1 left to themselves. j Again—it is nor. the harshness, but tho certainty and swiftness of punishment, | that deters the evil door. A penalty may be so sevoro as to excite the sympathy of tho jury for the accused, and thereby work his or her acquittal. \Yliat we need, then, wo repeat, is a Court in each,county having jurisdiction over minor olienees, and so constituted as to administer speedy justice. Tho Inferior Courts are no longer sulta- blftto the times; and, besides, the numb Narrow Kao a hr ok (Ikn. Sh human. Thu train on the Ohio & M.i-*-*i**ippi rail road, which left St. Loui*alo:!0, p. m., Tue-day, met with an accident which came near proving serious, twelve miles oust of Vincennes, about 12 o’clock the same nighi. We luurn from pa?s-ngers that soon af f er leaving Hast St. Louisa f.eight train off the track was encountered, and caused some delay. In trying to make up lost time, the train jun faster than the schedule provided, and owing to tho roughness of tho road, passengers expe rienced an uncomfortable ride. When twelve miles this side of Vincennes, tho two sloping cars jumped from tho track, and rolled over mixing up things gener ally, ami bruising most of the occupants, but fortunately killing no one. Tho for ward cars remained on tho track. Gen. Sherman was a passenger on one of the overturned c irs, but was not injured. Having dragged himself out, lie was seen “making for the front,” which point he reached, and taking a coat in another car, lm succeeded in reaching Lawrcnceburg, about throe hours 1 chind time. This accident to Gen, Sherman occurred near about the same limn that the special train convoying Lieut. Gen. Gram from Indianapolis was thrown from the track.

Section ‘2, a: time IH., ot tho Constitution of tho llmtvd ..tales is explicit on tins point. W e qu-»to ; 1 ho trial of all criinra, except in cu.es of mi- lienchtncnt, s/«iH he h}, jun,: and such trials shall beheld in the Stale where =ueh crimes shall have committed, etc. Suction •!, same article, declare.-: ”1 reason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in ad- 1,oiing to their cneinie?, giving them aid and comfort.

' From these clauses inn intent oi luo framers of tho Constitution is apparent.

' As soon h» tim man dies, or is executed by duo pro cess of law his property must be restored to Mb legal heirs. The practice in many places has boon to charge men with treason, lib«d thoir | arty, confiscate and sell i'., without trying the parties stigmatized as traitors in open court before a jury, or paving any atten lion to the imperative and uniidstakahh requirements of the Uonstitution. N.» won.lur, then, that President Johnson, ms a Constitution and law-abiding man, should determine that such procedures wore opposed to the pupretno law of the litii.l, as well us destructive in their ten dency, and that they should not bo per mitted any longer. Tim position attributed to the President conflicts with that held by Judge Trigg. NYc arc surprised Jo find to able a jurist as tho Judge taking a position which strikes an unprofessional observer, at leas’, as so untenable. -Xa*/n\ Dispatch, 2\\th» From tho Cincinnati OuMtte, 2Sth. Attempt to Kill Licutcnaut-Geucral Grant. Special Train Thrown from the Track. Lieutenant General Grunt, in order to gratify th.- wishes of tho people of Indi ana, visited Indianapolis on Tuesday last, where lie waa received with that enthusi asm which lias greeted him everywhere on bis round of travels through the Uni ted Suites, lie was conveyed safely to the Capital of Indiana by a special train on the Indianapolis and Cincinnati rail road. Dashing to return to thi- city Tuesday night, a special train, cor.bisting of a lo comotive, tender and passenger eoac.ii, *ai placed at his ditpofal. This started from Indianupolis late in the evening,ami no mishap wa* experienced until the train reacted Guilford, about ten miles wo-t of LawTenechurg.at 1 o’clock A. M. At this point, Just before mnehing the bridge, tiio switch hud been partially displaced. Tho OBfino, lender, and tin* loro truck of tho pfUsengor Coach, however, Ic pt iho track, hut the hind truck of the latter wus thrown off, and was dragged over tho croaaties, and across liio bridge, before ill promptness and correctness. Tnis change in tho “Oouit system” can bo oQbctcd without cost by our approach ing Convention. Wo trusw the alteration will bo thorough, and that a clause may be insortod in tho constitution making all persons ineligible to tho Judgeship who do not possess legal attainments, and that authority bo given to tho Legistlulimi to provide rcaeouablo salarios for these otll- cors. It may also be necessary to create the otlice of Oounty Solk Itor. It is a mistaken idea, which wo hope is exploded, that any good, clever and in telligent eltizou, unread in tho law, can tnako a good Judge. No one can repre sent properly a case in Court unless ho be a nmu of legal learning, and how can he, ivlioeo duty it is to render a correct legal loeision in the same caso, do so unless ho is as well skilled as the attornoy? Wo have thrown together hastily the o Lb-.»- nuuia Uu rejoiccn to know that they mcof tho approval of tho people of Georgia.—Neuman Hr raid. Important Decision.—Tho Memphis Bulletin ot a recent data snys: The fol lowing extract of a recent decision of tho Quartermaster General, will ho of great interest to holders of property in this city, who have had their buildings taken for Government uses. It is very refresh ing when woaie told that Tennessee was never in insurrection, and .Imt tho late war was fought as a rebellion, loyalty be ing recognized wherever it was found,and loyal persons protected, not only in their pursou, but in tho rights of property. Messrs, liras & Hudson, attorneys and claim agents, No. 20 Madison street, have this decision, which was made in a case presented by them not long sinco—the loyalty of tho claimant not being ques tioned : “Memphis was a hostilo city, captured by our troops from an enemy who did not surrender on terms, but were driven out by force of arms. Everything was a prize of war, as at Savannah mil at Atlanta; buildings wore occupied for shelter of troops and for sick and wounded soldiers of the capturing army. “It docs not appear that tho Military Department should ordor payment of any rent under such circumstance*. Now that the active Opel aliens of win are over, and pence is restored, the Government will doubtless give up property which it does not consent© us rebel properly, or will pay rent from the time of restoration of peace.” « A Fayetteville correspondent of tho Chattanooga Gazette thus attempts lii.s hand at “sensation” : General Htwedmnn, the commander of Georgia, has lately issued an toiler to have all tin* anus in the Stab* turned over to tne Government. This is all well enough. But il falls very short of what the General intended by his order. It is well known that Joseph E. Brown, late Governor ol Georgia, caused to be made millions of magic selfacting pikes, with which the cnlii e Yankee army waa to he killed in an instant. These pikes are con cealed somewhere ill tho State, ami no person knows where they are except doe Brown and the editor ol tho Atlanta In tel liguncor.

Scouts. The service rendered the South by vol unteer scouts bj.s often been of tho most important character. Ono stormy nigh!, early in tho war, a young woman set out from a garrisoned town to visit a sick uncle residing a abort dislnnco in the country. Tho sick uncle, mounting Ids horse nt midnight, rode twenty miles in tho ruin, to Forrest’s headquarters. The result whs, the important mwn of .Mur freesboro’ and a promising major general fell into tho hands of the Confodorat«*p; and all because tho said major-general normitted a pretty woman to pass hi? lines on a ‘ mission of mercy.' At another time a rebel citizen, profes sing disgust with secession for having the weaknnhs to be ‘on its lust leg-,’ look the oath of allegiance and assumed tho U nion uniform. Informing hinwlf fully of the deposition of our forces along Urn Nash ville railroad, he suddenly disappeared to reappear with Basil Duke and John Mor gan in a midnight raid on the ulumboring outposts.

This woman wni soon ‘lifted’ into an empty saddle 1>5' tho s>id«» of a stall officer, who, with many wise winks and knowing nods, whs discussing the intended route of the expedition with a brother kimpielon. A little further mi the woman suddenly remembered that another uncle, who did not stand up quite so ‘strut fur tho konlry,’ and, conse quently, had a house still standing up for , him, lived * plump up that ’ar* hill ter the right ol the high road.” She was set down, tho column moved on, and— fc.ivigLF.. . .1 ptunned expedition mis carried. But no one wasted a thought on tho forlorn woman and the .-allow baby, whoso skinny faces were so long within oarshotof the woodtfn-headed staff-oilicer. Means quito as Ingonius and quite us curious were often adoptod to conceal dis patches, when tho mes-unger was in dan ger of capture by an enemy. A boot, with a hollow heel; a fragment of corn-pone, too stale to tempt u starving man ; a strip of adhesive plaster over ft festering wound, or r ball of cotton wool stuff'd into the ear to keep out the wost wind, often hid a message whoso discovery would co.-t a life, utul perhaps endanger an army.
