They are Probate Judge Holt, who tried the negro; Sheriff Felts, who arrested him ; W. C. Brewer, who defended him; and Messrs. Win. Ed munds, Lee Martin, Clarence Aber crombie and M. Smith, who were wit nesses in the case. They were ar rested by Deputy Marshal Bandolph, on warrants issued by a United States Commissioner, and carried to Mont gomery, where they were to have been examined yesterday. The Ad vertiser justly remarks: “What rapid strides centralization is making, when petty officials of the United States claim the power thus to re view the decision of a State Court. It is a principle its old as the English law that a judge shall not beheld lia ble, either eivilly or criminally, for a judicial act, but in this day of so-call ed progress, those safeguards wtiich our forefathers thought necessary to the preservation of the liberties of the citizens, are held as nought if by dis regarding them party ends oan be ad vanced.’’ Nile Didn't (tare lo Nit Down. She went, into the badly crowded horse-ear at the junction of Congress and Whitaker streets. Several gen tlemen bounced from their seats and offered her a place in which to seat her lovely form —but her invariable reply was, “No, thank you, I prefer to stand.” When the conductor took her fare, she smilingly remarked: “Corner of Liberty.” “O. K.,” laconically replied the con ductor. Beaching Liberty, the driver put on his brake too quickly and stopped the car with a sudden jerk. Tins compelled her to sit down, but on the bottom of the car. She made one or two ineffectual efforts to rise, when several gentlemen rushed up to as sist her. They could ruise her entirely off the floor of the car, but she seemed to have lost all use of her lower members, and, overcome by her exertions, fainted on the spot. Four men rushed off for a doctor, the conductor bolted into an adjacent drug store for re storatives, and the driver holding on to his lines looked on and thought it served her right for not taking a seat like a civilized woman. Before the return of the conductor she regained eonsciouiuess, and sit ting up as well as she could, reached behind her and extracted from some mysterious portion of her person, one after another, seventeen pins. Then she shook out the ample back folds of her pin-back dress, arose, and went out of the car. The last seen of her, she w T as meandering down Liberty street with seven boys hollering at her, and thirteen yards of mohair plaid flouncing in the wind behind her.—Savannah News.

TUE RADICAL GOVERNOR REFUSES TO COM MISSION TWO OF THE NEW RADICAL JODGES. Charleston, Dec. 21.— Governor Chamberlain has refused to issue the commission of Whipper, and ex-Gov ernor Moses, the obnoxious Judges elect, giving the following state ment of his reasons: I decline to sign the commissions of A. J. Whipper and J. J. Moses, Jr., elected as Judges of the Circuit Court of this State by the General Assembly, on the 16th inst., for terms to begin August 26th, 1876. By the Constitution of the State, the Judges of the Circuit Court are to bo elected for terms of four years. By a series of adjudicated cases in the highest court of this State extending from 1821 to 1872, it has in my judgment been determined that officers elected under the provisions of law similar to this provision of the present Con stitution, are entitled to hold their offices for the full term prescribed by the Convention or laws under which the elections were held. It follows that the terms of the present incumbents of the offices to which the above named persons claim to have been elected on the 16th inst., will not expire until after another general election of members of the General Assembly. The present General Assembly has not tho right to elect their successors. While in some cases presenting similar le gal questions it may not be required of the Governor fo decline to issue commission, the circumstances of the present case compel nte to this course. [Signed] D. H. Chamberlain, Governor. THU lIKKCHIvIt M VMI U. MRS. MOULTON’S COURSE.

They then held a revolver close to the conductor’s face and snapped it, but it failing to go off, they closed in on him and beat him in a shameful manner.

One item was of 79,000 dollars for immigration. Hon. M. McDougald said that too many mechanics came to this country dur-. iug tho present depression of trade.
