The. Legislature having passed the bill
organizing a C ounty Court, it becomes a
matter ot great importance to every citizen
of the County, that the County Judge
should be chosen tor his high moral char
acter and known legal ability. It will be
a < ourt ot high dignity and extensive ju
risdiction, in many of the counties of the
while its rules, regulations and prac
tice, will involve all the rules and regula
tions, as well as legal complexity of the
•Superior Courts Let no man suppose
himsclt competent to fill so high and im
portant a position, unless he has devoted
several years, at least, of his past life to
| the acquirement of legal knowledge, and
we will take the liberty of telling him, that
even then, if he is not possessed of good
natural ability for the profession, the sharp
lawyers in his court will soon indicate to
him trom what class ol animals he sprung.
It must be remembered, too, that the law
provides tor the removal of incompetent
Judges, and it would be belter to take a
low seat than to take a high one and be
obliged to come down with dishonor. The j
man who knows nothing about law, and
.vet- considers himself competent to sit in
judgment upon the law cases of his neigh- I
bar, is already branded an ass by his pre
sumption.
The election for Judge, Solicitor, &c.,
for the County Courts, are ordered to be 1
held on the 27th of May next. Let our
people select a good man by that time, an j
able and worthy man.

Tim poor:
Reader, did you know that since the war
has closed the poor were all around you ?
Look at the helpless orphans, the bereaved
* and desolate widows. Some of them are
! even note struggling with disease, half
clad, in destitute rooms, AIJ are without
means, without clothes, without subsist
• cnee. How came them so? Some of these
- widows had husbands, noble, generous,
brave tellows, in the army, but a battle
was fought, and these ragged starving or
phans were made fatherless, and left help
less upon the world. Is there no help for
them ? When that destitute widow asked |
you for a few pounds of meat, or a small -
measure of meal, did you deny her ? N 0
no, no! lou did not—you could not’
but you gave her all she asked and more,
you gave her some money beside, or some
clothes for her children, perhaps both.
1 ou did not tell her there were “ too many
poor folks, that you could not support them
all. Cou were too generous and truthful
to wound her thus, for yen knew that Goo
had blessed you with all your possessions,
and He did not require you to support all
the ‘‘poor tolks. You knew that you
were required to be grateful for His bless
ings, and your gratitude could be shown
so well in no other way than in giving to
the poor.. If so be that you did all this
continue in the good old way, and in the
last davit will be said to you, -Come,
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
ot heaven prepared for you from the foun
dation of the. world, for I was anhungered
and ye gave me meat, naked and ye clothed
me, sick and in prison, etc,, and ye visited
me. Who can estimate your reward ?

‘•ln the conise of his testimony he
said there was more solid money in
Texas than in any other State. The
people, left to themselves would hold
the negroes in bondage. The people
are geneially in comfortable circums
stances. The keeping of a military
force in Texas is a necessity for the
next five years.
Lieut. Col. 11. S. Ilall testifies :
Thejp seems to be a very general desire
and earnest wish to be immediately
admitted to the Union which takes the
-shape of a demand of absolute riuht,
and there is no real iove expressed for
the Government; on the contrary there
is an expression of hatred for the peo
ple of the north, and of lankees gen<
oraily, while the idea seems to be that
they should at once obtain possession
of tne political privilege and ;ower
which they once had. They seem to
have an idea that they are entitled to^l
the rights under the Constitution which
they ever had. They express bitter
ness against, those whom they charac •
terizc as radicals, and denounce most
severely the policy of the party which
they term the radical party. They
consider the Freed men’s Bureau an
unmitigated nuisance. If it were abob
ished the negro would be compelled
j to labor without compensation.
ft™?- Gen. W. E. Strong, Inspector
■, General, gave testimony or, the condi
tion of thefreedmen When the ne
groes were held in bondage, they were
as a rule treated well, and cases ot ex
treme cruelty were very rare. It was
| tI,CD for the interest f the masters to
take care of and not ill treat them.
-Now it is quite different ; they have .
no interest in their welfare and seem
to take every opportunity to vent their
rage and hatred on the freed men.
They arc frequently beaten unmerei- 1
tally and shot down like beasts with
out provocation, and followed with
I bounds and maltreated in every pos°
srble way. It is the same old story of
cruelty, oniy there is more of it in
Texas than any other southern State.
Ihe witness declared that one cam
paign through the eastern part of Tex
as, such as was made by Major Gen
eral Sherman in South Carolina,
would greatly improve the temnerand
generosity of the people.

John W. Ricks, Collector of Cus

pression among the people was that
they had been overcome but not cons
quered. There has been no material
change for the better in any portion of
the State lately in rebellion. The
people have a bitter aversion to what
they call the iankee?, or oorther 1

To Prevent Pitting bf Small Pox.
Mr Solon Bobinson in a communi
cation in the Plough, i/oom and Anvil,
recommends the following to prevent
jotting by the small pox;
# “Get Iron the apothecary a little
vial of stuff called liquid cuticle, and
as soon as t lie pustules are fully formed
a PP I y a bttle of the liquid with a little
brush or feather t each one. •As sh.-t.
as they get ripe, remove the scab and
wipe away the matter clean, and apply
the liquid again. If any one of them
fill a second time, yon, must remove
the covcring and repeat the process.
It will smaitlike fan for a moment,
but my word for it, When you recover
\ you will not find a mark on that pretty
face of yours to prove you ever had
the disease. I am told the article is
made of gun cotton, dissolved in chlo- ‘
reform. It forms an artificial skiiwi !
over a wound just as good as the reaT
one.” . ■ ‘

. Many of our Northern brethren„are
quite put out when designated as Yan
•kees, ‘ Nqw, this is a most extraofains
ary fatuity, when it is remembered
that-they perpetually glory in this dis
tinguished • epithet, preaching it in
their pulpits,, recording it it their an
nals, singing it in their songs, and se!v
ling'it in their ingeniously contrived
notions. We of the South never would
have heard the title if it had not been
dinned into our years; unceasingly,
since the day that Wa hington Irvjng
recorded the smart, cute tricks of the
Jessed pilgrims, when the Bed Man
icgun to melt avftiy before them as
the Black Man bids fair \o do. Ex
ultantly did they rear the name aloft,
and enthusiastically have they adored
it as the emblem of the r peculiar I
adroitness, surpassing the wisdom of
altercation. <_>f course, there is an of
fensive tone in its. pronunciation, but
how can even the satire that is distill-
ed from the vinegar of ants disparage
that which s essentially glorious to a
New England man? When Mr. Beech
er, holy soul, dared the combined Fed
eration to keep- New England, out in
the cold, characterizing her as the
Pick-pocket of the Universe, not one
syllable of wrath escaped from North
ern mouths against him.. Why, then,
this flurry about the word Yankee-?’’
A man cannot help it, if bo-rn in a lean
streak of Massachusetts; let him stick*
up for the name that lie has stuck to
himself.—Aug.. Constitutionalist.

1 [Special Despatch to the X. Y
Washington, L>. C March 11 66.
•At the Cabinet meeting on Friday
the Fenian expeditions against Cw*'’
ada. now’ siting out in the New York
; and Chicago, were discussed at’consid
erable length, in conneot.ion with the
demand for- the'arrests of th-e known,
leaders of the inurement ’ which has
been- niade by the British Govern,
ment. through the British minister
here. The Government is by no means
inclined to comply -with the demand,
I and it is not probable that the Goverm.
, ment will take any action -on the sub
ject. It is understood that, the matter
will bo brought before Congress to
morrow, though the General impres
sion here is that Government will not
i interfere with the progress of any Fe
| nian movement.
Since the deteat of the Constitution
al Amendment in the Senate, the most
strenuous efforts have been made by
the Radicals to agree upon s< -me gen.
oral principles in pursuance of which
they can control the future legislation
of Congress ; but the attempt has com
pletely failed. The fate of the Con
stitutional Amendment will be the fate
of every oiie of their measures. ’ They
can agree upon nothing, and the pow.
wi.l soon be introduced, discharging
the Committee of Fifteen from the fur.
sher consideration of the’ Southern
States, and that immediately after its
passage, which is said to be assured
tfie credentials of the Southern mem
bers will be properly referred. It is
said that a majority of both Houses m
in favor of this course.
It is said that the opinion of the
Supreme Court has been made up on
the case that was argued last week,
and w l l l be pronounced to-morrow, and
that it. will decide, that the trial of
civilians ■by military commissions is
unconstitutional.
