Tlic County Ccurls'
Much dissatisfaction has been expres
sed in various parts of the State at the
establishment of the County Courts, and
many counties praying for their aboli
tion.
The chief argument against them is,
their frequent sittings and the. require
ment of Petit and Grand Juries to be in
attendance upon each. That this is an
onerous tax upon the time as well as the
pockets of the people of every county
is too manifest to he denied. Could this
formidable objection to the system he
removed we apprehend there would he
no more complaint raised against it.
Presuming this to he the case, let us see
if it cannot be so modified as to obviate
all objections and make it answer all
the ends of justice it was designed to
accomplish. Our plan is simply this :
In civil cases let this Court have cog
nizance over all sums over fifty and under
one hundred dollars. Once every month
hold an appeal term to which any party
dissatisfied with the decision of the
Court could appeal to a special jury at
the semi-annual sessions ot the Court-
Let the semi-annual sessions ho held
midway between the sittings of the Su
perior Court in each county respective.
lv. x\nd at each of these let there be
summoned a Petit and Grand Jury to
dispose of all criminal cases as in the
Puperior Courts. In this way all offend
ers against.civil law- may he brought to
justice within three months in one court
or the other. Uy this arrangement
crime would be promptly punished with
no additional expense to a county, as
every case tried in the County Court
would lessen that much the business ot
the Superior Court. It is clear, there
fore, that the plan we propose would
tend greatly to the suppression of crime
while no additional tax on time or pock
et would be imposed on the people.
Indeed, instead of an additional tax
being Imposed, a very heavy one would
he removed in the form of jail fees-
Abolish this court and return to the
old system and throw all criminal cases
into the Superior Courts to be in ses
sion once in six months, and from two
to four weeks-may be calculated on as
tlie length of each session, all of which
time juries must he in ’attendance. —
And superadded to all this the jails fees
of criminals who would have to lie in
jail would amount to a tax far more
onerous than the plan proposed.
We say tl len instead of abolishing the
system let some plan be tried, and w r e
shall he much disappointed if it does
not work well and give general satisfac
tion. And with great deference- we
reccommend it to the attention of the
Legislature.
Tiik Chicago Republican says
that the eldest daughter of the late Gen.
Seott died broken-hearted in a French
convent, because her father would not
give his consent to a marriage with a
young nobleman and officer. Gen. Scott
did not wish to have a son-in-law against
whom he might have to draw his sword
in the event of a collision between
France and the United States, in which
the suitor to the hand of his daughter
would have to take, in his capacity of
officer in the French army. “The Gen
eral-in-chief of the United States army
shoidd not enter into such tangling alli
ances,’’was Gen. Scott’s obstinate reply
to his daughter’s and wife’s entreaties.
The poor young lady retired to a con
vent, where she died a short time after
wards.
The Cleveland (Tenn.) Banner of the
Ist inst. says: A man was found dead
about two miles east of the place, near
the railroad, on Saturday evening last,
lie was seen in the vicinity of where
found for a day or two. lie told one
man that he was from Ohio, and was go
ing to Ducktown. lie evidently died
from disease, as there were no marks of
violence upon his person. A carpet sack,
containing sonic isinglass and 80 cents
in money, were the only articles found
with him, being no papers to tell who
he was or wliere lie was from. He was
poorly clad in a suit of soldiers’clothes.
He was properly interred by the county,
in the cemetry at this place, on Sunday
last.

AFFAIRS AT BALTIMORE.
Baltimore, Nov. 5. ll P. M. —After
a conference, lasting up to ten o’clock
between the Police Commissioners and
a committee representing the Conserva
tive party, with a view to the latter
naming one judge and one clerk to be
appointed by the Police Commissioners
for each precinct, according to the agree
ment made at the conference with Gen.
Grant, the Conservative Committee
abandoned the whole matter and with
drew without making any nominations

A Strange Story. —A very singular
and complete Irish bull took place in ihe
country of Wicklow, in Ireland, a few years
since. Two gentlemen, brothers, were
married on the same day, anti the respec
tive friends of each, with the brides and
bridegrooms, determined on celebrating the
the happy event as jovially as possible.
Accordingly the whole party repaired to
a house a short distance from Wicklow,
where the day was spent in the usual style
of Irish mirth; there being uo lack of sup
ply of wine -and whisky. At night the
brides, amidst blushes and smiles, retired to
bed, but left the positive orders that no
candles where to be allowed the bridegooms
on their retiring. This doubtless was to
save a repetition of blushes, and evinced
great delicacy on the part of the ladies.
The gentlemen, as might be supposed,
soon followed the example set them by
their wives, and they retired to bed, strict
ly'observing the injunction* of their fair
brides. But, oh! dire mishap! in the
morning it was discovered that each gen
tleman had gone to what was intended to be
his brother’s bed ! the ladies in the dark,
and the brother’s voices strongly resembling
each others, not having noticed the fata!
error. Here appears to be it puzzle for the
lawyers, fur one of the ladies possesses a
fortune of ,£6,000, and tHpbne only 1,000
and'tbe gentleman who married the lady
with the latter- fortune wished to-keep pos
session of the lady with whom ho slept,
with tbe £ (qOOOj but this his brother
refused to accede to, and in consequence
the whole affair was made public,
. The Quitman Banner mentions an
affray which took place in that town Tues
day' last, in which Mr. William Wade shot
Mrs. J. A. Hardee in the thigh and out Mr.
Lyman in the left brest. The wounds of
both parlies ate severe, but not considered
dangerous. Mr Wade escaped with sundry
thumps and bruises.

An Incident Os Tile. War.
During the occupancy of Brownsville by
the Federal forces, and while Major Gen.
D -was in command at that point, and
incident occurred which wc cannot refrain
from telling ‘‘as ’twas told to us.”
It seems the General had ‘‘confiscated”
—to use a polite term—two beautiful blood
ed horses, the property of the Hon. Dun
can F. Kenner, of this State. Deeming,
probably, his title none of the best, and
knowing the partiality of Texans and Mexi
cans sor fine stock, he determined to se 1
them at public auction. Accordingly a
crier, with a bell, announced to tbe citizens
of that bolder town the sale of these won
.derful animals that could trot, gallop, run,
and got along generally so swiftly, that no
watch had ever yet been found fast enough
to time them. The excitement grew to fe
ver heat, extending far over into the- Mexi
can country.
At length'the day arrived, and with it
came the auction. A motley but numerous
crowd assembled, and as the horses, care
fully blanket! and led by grooms, stepped
daiutily to and fro, snuffing with expanded
nostrils the morning air, the expectations of
all were raised to the Highest pitch and ful
ly realized. The animals were very beau
tiful indeed as they stood stripped of their
coverings, perfect models of symmetry and
gtace. The bidding of course was spirited,
and soon reached tall figures, but the auc
tioneer knew a thing or two, and in the
midst of the excitement, suddenly ceasing
his almost unintelligible jargon, and drop
ping both arms with an air of supreme dis
gust, exclaimed, “What ! I thought you
knew a fine horse when you saw one.
Only one thousand dollars for a through
bred ! h'onnie, (to a lad who appeard par
icularly appreciative) jumpd on the chest
nut and show the gentlemen how she moves;
and you, sir, (to another anxious boy,) trot
the sorrel off.” Nothing could have been
more easy or graceful than the motions of
the horses—they wi re all life and action,
an 1 the bids reached still higher notches.
“Let them <io for a hundred yards,
boys!” cried the auctioneer, and with the
word both animals darted away like arrows
from an Indian bow; and, almost sooner
than it takes to tell, the clattering of their
mailed feet 1 ad died upon ihe air and their
very form melted into distance. The auc
tioneer, true to the instinct'of h is race, was
the first to recover from the shock.
“Going—going—gone ! General, apply
to that infernal Rebel, Col. IL, ior your
money.”
Out past the farthest picket,, whose
‘ halt !.” wA scarcely uttered ere the objects
filled the daring youngsters
s«ed, nor slackened rein until surrounded
companions in the Rebel camp,
where, they, received the warm
of their commander for
ably executed his little stratagem.
Gen. P.. r being a church member did nut
use any “cuss words” on the occasion, but
was as tenil ly exercised as it. is ever allow
ed by tbe “regulations” for a Major Gener
al to become.—A 7 ! O. Picayne.
Romantic-
A short paragraph appears in a late Lon
don paper which could easily be worked over
into a first class sensation romance of real
life- The pick of the story is about as
follows
A young Trinfy graduate, smart, elever
and fast, was disowned by bis parents.
But bis address arid accomplishments se
cured him a handsome situation as a corres
pondence clerk in an infiueutial Liverpool
firm, where his efficiency soon brought
both aD increase of pay and of his responsi
bilities. At length however, the ‘Old
Adam” asserted i!self and in order to cover
his personal extravagance the young man
helped him self to his employer’s cash to
the extent of £3OOO. 110, of course, him
self eloped, and all the ingenuity of the
detective officials could not discover his
whereabouts. In the meantime tho fugi
tive went to America, and (as afterwards
transpired) engaged himself to a well known
dry goods merchant of New York, with
whom he remained until the outbreak of
the American war. Xlis master being an
ardent patriot, offered 1 to advance handsome
sums of money to any of his clerks who
would volunteer for the war, and the hero
of this brief narrative was one who accept
ed the offer. Ho went through some of
the severest brushes of ihe campaign with
out receivinga wound , fought at Freder
icksburg, Seven Oaks, and othes places,
and held a subordinate command during
Sherman’s great march. At tbe close of
the struggle he fell in love with and mar
ried the wealthy young widow'of one of ihe
Federal Generals who was killed at Gettys
burg. After their marriage the lady wish
ed to visit England, but there was one lit
tle difficulty in the way—thc£3,ooo. Ul
timately, however, ip was decided the wise
est course would be to refund the amount,
and to tho delight of the Liverpool fimi
they received by the last steamer and or
dered for Ihe amount with five per cent, in
terest from the date of the cashier’s elope
ment.—[Boston Dost.
An Indian Curiosity. —Among the
Oriental Juriosita s in the Loan Exhibition
at Southampton, England, is an official dag
ger of a Hindoo bard, the property of Mr.
Tennyson. The following curious state
ment has been affixed to it by the poet: “In
Guzezat are a number of petty chief called
Thakoors, whose condition somewhat lesem-
Jdes that of the old Highland chieftains of
Scotland, or did so a few years ago. Each
chieftain had his family bard, who was al
so the family historian. These bards were
called Bhats, Bharofes, Bhaiuts C'haruns.
No treaty or marriage settlement was com
plete unless countersigned by the hards of
the respective families, whose signature
was a rude representation of the kutha, oi
dagger, worn by them. Those daggers
were often heirlooms, and by no means easy
to get. This one belonging to the family
of Bhat, or Charun, of Veerangarum, a
town about forty miles from Ahmedabad in
Guzerat, Presidency of Bombay.”
