of their com til istions. " Tim Code also
provides tiiat otlwr county ofTn ets « all

of the Legislature. Now, according to
the Code (and it is the only law Gov- ,
erninjf in the case,) lint election for Or- j
dinaries in the various Counties of this
Stale, should have taken place on the
fust Wcdn. stlay in . Jnnmuy last, a
their ciminiiasionH will expire in Novem
ber next. In pursuance with the pro
visions of the Code, an election fu
Otdfnary was held in tint county of Slim
ier, on the day designated, hut we learn
from the Americas Ihqmhliran, that Gov
ernor Smith declines In recognize the
election as a valitl one. In a letter
trom the Executive department, he says j
"that lie considers the election I eld in
Sumter county, on the fiist Wednesday
in January lust ns invalid, and that tin
present incumbent will hold tho i ffice
until his successor is elected and rjuali
fled; but another and the regular < lee
lion will he held at the time ft nil hi/
lain.’’ Now, the question arises, when
is that "tinTe fixed by law?” Wo opine
Ihat it will puzzle the Governor n<>t with-1
standing he lias the reputation of a good
lawyer, to discover any other day ih
ignated, in the Constitution and Cede,
than that prescribed hi S-ctiou 1340.
It is the only law on the Georgia statute
bnoks governing (lie case. In our opin
ion the people of Sumter county In Id a
legal election, and the Governor is de
cidedly in error when ho declares it in
valid.
Under tho circumstances, it will be]
incumbent on the Legislature, at is Ju
ly session, to enact a law enabling the
people to elect Ordinaries at the name
time that other comity officials art* elect
ed. Otherwise all such elections will be
illegal.

The Grand Jury, organized for the
May Term of the Superior Court for
Brooks County, will have two very ini- I
poftaut matters before it for considera
tion. The School Law and the Von nip
Court. To the latter id'these we rch i
reri several weeks ago The law estab
lishing a system of public schoo's, re
quires that the Grand Jury shall, at tin j
Spring term, chin ae five freeholders as '
a County Hom'd of Udncution; and as
this Board will have very important du
tics to transact, it should lie mm posed
of our very best and most prudent citi
zens.
For flic proper n niiitenai ce of public

derived from revenue, arc appropriated

each 0- nnt,v lloaid of Education (select

to make nn estimate of the amount nee

The limes arc distressingly dull.
; Tiade, of< very a- sci iption, is at a aland
still, and merchants, business men, me
<;l nail n,.etc , wear long face-, and in
doleful strains lament tho condition of
affairs. But why have we dull timer?
Tin; scarcity of money and continued
had weather, il in line, has roinelhing
todowilh it—hut this is not the real
cnlise. The Coluiti In- flnquirer thinks
tiiat it consists in the fact, that we have
t.,0 many people here and elsewhere who
are willing to consume, hut are not will
ing to produce. We have too many
who are laboring under the I allucina
t’on that the world owes them a living
and mu t pay it. We have too many
who, to In er> up appearances, must needs
live beyond their minus, not considering
j that ill ho doing they neer-s. ai'ily live
! and splurge at other people’s expense,
j We can can never again he pn speroti
as a whole until ult classes res -gnize our
changed pii cue stances and fall ill with
the situalion. Work is the new Aider,
and all must he willing to assume their
share of the duties and r< nponsfi) lit ies
■of the new era. White people must
i work, and negroes must work. Those
j who have tho hone and sim vv must do
! thr drudgery, 'in accordance with the
I ordinary provid'-nee, while those letter
fitted lor lighter employments mast fall
into line at. their places. E-pccinlly
would we advise those m-4, profitably
employed about towns lo try their look
at agriculture. Tin's being the fuitida
lion of all industry and prosperity, will
yield remuneration when every thing else
fails. There is no excuse for any hody’s
starving or going naked in this country,
I if all will propi rly exercise the physical
and menial powers which God lias given
them.
