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-

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.

will strike every cairn and impartial rca- discharge county btirimu*; with more
eonor as simply ui just, it
urcpMlcroiM. Section ‘2, a: time IH., ot
tho Constitution of tho llmtvd ..tales is
explicit on tins point. W e qu-»to ; 1 ho

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. Xj shall beconvicled
of treason unles- «»n the ic. timony ot two
wilneues to the s .me overt act, or on
Confession in open court. '
From these clauses inn intent oi luo
framers of tho Constitution is apparent.
The party charged with treason must llret
l.o indicted for treasonable practices, then
arraigned before a jury of Ins country-
—... »«..u ihe privilege <»t counsel

defoncc, and tried in open court, accord
ing to the forms prescribed by law and
universal usage.
When these formalities arc gone through
with, and the party bn; been duly con-
victw, the penalty ho is personally to suf
fer will he declarod by tho court, and a
suit for tho confiscation of his property
may legally commence; but oven then the
Constitution expressly m*U forth that “no
attainder oUtrea-on shall work corruption
of blood, or forfeiture, r.crept tin ring the
life of the person attainted. ' 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»

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

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,

loeision in the same caso, do so unless ho
is as well skilled as the attornoy? Wo

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

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.
Again, ft column on tho inarch onino
upon ft wretched woman, with n child in
her iirms, seated by tlio dying embers of
a burning homestead—-burning,, slio said,
bocauso her sola and only triced, her
undo (these ladies seldom have any near
er kin,) ‘stood up strut lor the kenlry.’
No American - ddier ever rcfu?od a ‘lift’
to a woman in distress. 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—

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

A good joke is told of a Judge in
Hampshire. il« always kept a domi
of'good Jamaica in his private olUo
his particular friends. Tho Judge
noticed, for some time, that on Moi
morning his Jamaica was consider
lighter than lie had left it on Satu
night. Another fact had o^tahlibhod
in his mind. His soil Hum was mb

days. One Sunday afternoon Sam <.

tho Judge put the question pointed'
him ;.
“Sam, whore have you boon?”
“To church air,” was tho promp
ply.
“ What church, Sam ?’
“Second Methodist, sir,”
“Had n good sermon ?”
“Very powerful, sir; il quite slagg

The next Sunday the son canio li
