Exeter, England, at a rocoi.t ordination

in saying that he looked upon the min

Country as true miuisteis of Chiist. lie
knew no test by which their work couid
be tried which would not come to that
result, because ho saw that men under
their ministry had aceep'eu God’s truth ;
that the Lord had so blessed their work,
that he could not doubt for one moment
that their "work had his appiovul, and
that lie had sent them.

of a more liberal spirit in the religious

Incident of the War.—Many sad
stories have been told of the late war.
One of the saddest that wc know of oc
curred at the well known battle of Cbick-

tillery company from Eufaula, were or
dered to pursue the enemy, who were
giving away at all points, one of its
members suddenly stopped, and kneel
ing down, kissed a dead body which lay
in its line of march, ll was his son, and
two years had elapsed since last he saw
him. It was indeed a sad meeting, but
duty impelled the father onward, and
however much his heart might might be
agonized, the true soldier of the South,
could not stop to shed his manly tears.
Ilia sou, he felt assmed, had done his
duty, and he was going to do his. His

battle, but the touching incident we

Archbishop Spaulding.
The death on the 7th ins 7 ., of this
eminent prelate ol the Catholic Church
has bpcn the occasion ot profound sor
row throughout the whole country. IIo
was buried at HnUiuini*—many' of tile
Bishops and Priests of Lis Church being ! ;

all classes and chinches. The ceremony
was as solemn and imposing as it could
be tuade. A funeral oration was pro
nounced by Archbishop McCioskc

Th
■try of the Judge is ail the ex-
p use I know of, worth noting. And
suppose his salary to be 81,000, and it
ought not to be less, for tbe services of
a competent ntau.
That is the debit. Now let us enu
merate the credits.
Id. Tho records of the Court of Or
dinal'" will show that tho expenses cf
locking up and feeding of criminals iu
our County Jail is not less than from
twelve to fifteen hundred dollars per
annum. It is a fair estimate to say' that
thive-ll ths of this expense will be saved
to the County under this Court system,
which will leave about nine hundred
doll: rs,—an item of itself about sufficient
to pay the Judge’s salary.
2l. The cases tried in the County
Court will abridge one-half of the busi
ness of the Superior Court, consequent
ly curtail the duration of its sessions to
one half lhe length of time. This item
alone will save in money, and ia time
consume! by jurors and witnesses, an
amount of considerable importance, as
the Judge is the court and jury both, in
all cases, except in criminal causes, and
even then, unless the defendant de*-
mnnds a jury trial; and, in that event,
the process of obtaining ajury and trial
is a short and convenient one:
3rd. Tbe,costs iu tbe criminal cases
and County business together, with the
fines and forfeitures, all of which go
into the County Treasury, will well nigh,
if not quite, pay the Judge’s salary it
self.
So much for the debt and credit iu a
financial point of view. But there are
other aud important reasons for the or-
gaaiz ition of such a court.
4 h. Tito concentration of civil suits
if dcFra le at the Court-house, saving
trouble and expense of traveling to the
vatious districts in the County is cer
tainly convenient if not economical.
5th. The importance of having yotir
County business with its finances, sep
arated from the Ordinary’s, and under
the immediate supervision of the Graud
Jury is of momentous consequence.
6th. The summary process iu which
this Court disposes of vexed litigation

The Snow Blockade.—The Union
Pacific Company issue a history of the
snow embargo, from which we learn that
the road has been pretty ranch blocka
ded ever since October 12, 1871. Snow
fifty-four inches deep. Snow-sheds and
fences no protection. Snow-plows a
failure. Twenty-five locomtives disa
bled. A thousand cars snowed up.—
Same trains twenty-eight days out.
To the above add forty through mail*
from San Francisco, snowed up.
Wont he Vaccinated.—The papers
say the Charleston negroes bar their
doors against the vaccinating committee
of the Board of Heabh, and when these
are opened by the police, Sambo and
family retreat up stairs aud make a res
olute staud against tbe doctors. Tbe
Charleston darkies don’t believe iu
white man’s obeah, no how. “Da no

Death of a Miser’s Daughter.—The
Albany Knickerhoch r tells a sad story
of the death of a young lady residing in
that city who was to have been married
the day on which she died. She suffered
from a p-cstratiug though not necessari
ly fatal disease, and hci father, who is
reported to be worth over 8100,000, re
fused to secure medical care. Finally
the young lady’s bethrotlied secured a
physician, but it was too late. The fu
neral was a very large one, aud it is re

The Mobile Board of Trade is dis-

were raised, and the amount produced
was very encouraging to the planters.
A firm iu Sheffield, Englaud, have

Why are photographers the most un
civil of all trades people ? Because when

Worth Pieserving.—The following
useful hints as to what to do in emer
gencies are worth preserving:
If a person falls in a fit, and begins
to snore loudly, with very red face, it
is apoplexy. Let him he seated so as to
favor tbe blood going downwards, away
from the head; apply cold cloths to the
head, or cushions of equal quantities of
sr.ow or pounded ice and common salt.
If the person is perfectly still, face
pale, and there is no perceptible breath
ing, it is a fit of faintiug. Do not touch
him except to loosen the clothing; then
keep off five or teu feet distant so as to
allow the air to come in; make no noise,
and there will vety soon be a calm, quiet
return to consciousness and life, tor it
is ouly a momentary cesi-ation of the
circulation of tbe blood to the bead.
But suppose there is a very violent
motion of the hands and feet, and all
sorts of bodily contortions, it is epilepsy.
Let the man contort uutil he is tired;
yon esn’t hold him still; all your efforts
only tend to aggravate the trouble aud
to exhaust the strength; all that ought
to Le done i» to keep the unfortunate
from burling himscif- There is no felt
suffering, for as soon as he comes too. he
will tell you that he remembers nothing
whatever of what has passed, appears to
be the ouly calm and self possessed par
son iu the whole crowd, and is appar-
ensly as perfectly well as before tho
occurrence. Dizziners often comes in
stantaneously, and we begin to reel be
fore we know it. Shut the eyes, wheth
cr you are walking along the street,
looking over a precipice, ascending a
ladder, or climbing. to a ship’s mast
head; the liar or dizziness disappears
instantly if you look upward.
About to F/ummux.—The YY’aslting-
ton Republican, of Tuesday, says that
North Carolina Radicals in that city are
in rrceipt of telegrams from leading
Repiiblicuiis in all parts ol that State,
asking whether it is true that tbe Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
lias decided against tbe claim of Abbott
in favor of Ransom. If it is so, they
say that they will make uo cffoit what
ever to organize tbe Republican party
iu that State, and let the election, which
takes place on the 4th of August next,
the first of the campaign, go by default
for the Democracy.
Col. C. YYT. Styles, editor of the Al
bany News, has been nominated for the
Senate by the Democrats of tbe lOili
District. The election is a special one,
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Senator Welch, Radical.

The “Reform Movement.”
YYe accept the inauguration of this
‘‘movement’’ as a hopeful “sign of tbe
times”—hopeful because it evinces that
some of the dangers which threaten our
Government are being felt and appie-
eiated in tho North aud among the
members of that party which is working
the ruin. It ii dieates a split in the
Republican party, aud its consequent
weakening in (be coming campaign. It
is tbe indignant protest of that wing of
the party which urges upholding the
Constitution and maintaining the sove
reignty of the States against further
wicked assumptions of power on tho part
of the Government. Tho leaders in
this movement of reform are Governor
B. Grata Brown and Senator CariScLurz, !
who are men of ability—and what is |

The Convention is culled to meet in
May, 1872, when they will doubtless 1
ascertain what strength they may be able
to command iu tbe coming campaign,
and fully set forth a declaration of their
principles. Among other things they
dcncunce the despotic control over those
sections which had sunendcred and ac
quiesced in the settlements of the war,
arid the refusal of amnesty to all our
people, as not only blunders, but crimes
T he following extracts from u speech
of Governor B Gratz Brown, speak for
themselves :
Day by day the firm foundations of
your constitutional forms of government
arc being insidiously sapped, under one
excuse or another ; now to mold judicial
decisions, now to control cleelions, now
to suppress an alleged disorder; aud
thus uuder the guiso of maintaining the
liberties of some, there is being prepared
lliai. fatal lethargy of local independence
aud sell-government which hut smooths
tbe way for the slavery of all. The as
sumption aud continued exercise by the
General Government of powers largely
self-asserted in time of war, never
dreamed ol heretofore in time of peace,
the military marshaling of all its funct
ions into the control of a single will, aud
the fierce partisanship which accords to
toy, in } stitutiouality. But the question of re
funding is attended with difficulties to
which we cannot be blind. The tax
I was really paid by the producers ; bat'
in most cases they did not pay it direct*
j ly. Most of tlie small planters sold
their cotton at two or tinea cents a
i pound less to tbe agents, who actually
j paid the tax ; and if the tax was retail*
ded to the agents who actually paid it,
but lost nothing, there would be a maoi-
f.-st injustice. Equity requires that the
reimbursement should be made to the
small planters who sold their cotton at a
discount and bore the burden of tax;
but there are great practical difficulties
in the way of doing'them justice. If the
tax were to bo reiunded to agents and
speculators who did not suffer, it would
be a scandalous misappropriation of the
public money.
Tho bill, of which we have an early
copy, stands on solid grounds enough it
the tux could be restored to the parties
who really paid it. It recites, in its
preamble, that, after two solemn argu
ments, the judges of the Supreme Court
were equally divided as to the constitu
tionality of the tax, thus leaving its con
stitutionally questionable. The pream
ble also recites that no other raw agri
cultural product of any Slate has been
so taxed ; a statement which is true in
point of fact, and convicts the authors
of the tax of an injurious and unjust
