Court at Pickens.

The Court of General Sessions and Common
Pleas, for Pickcns district convened at This
place on Monday last. Judge MuNRo presided
with marked courtesy and Kindness to the bar
and officers of the Court The proceedings of
the meeting, held by the members of the bar
and the officers Of the Court is n mcritcd COM
pliment to the presiding Judge, and we respect
fully ask for them attentive consideration.
The business of the term is much lighter than
usual so much so, that the Court adjourned
on Wednesday morning. The petit jurors were
discharged before the grand jury, an unusual
occurrence The prcscntments of the grand
jury. with kindred matters, will appear more at
length next week.
The BAR from other districts, was well rep
resented. The attendance by our citizens on
Monday, notwithstanding the disagreeablc char
acter of the day, was the largest we have seen
for several terms.

The Court at Anderson.

Tho cutirc week was consumed at Andcr-
son. and business cnntuuei to tho next term.
We were calel there rs witness dnring
the latter part of the week and conseoucnt-
ly were unable to give the usunl attention to
the last number of this paper.
There was no case pending or decided of
any great Importance, except that of BoRs-
TEL VS. JouN WILSON; which was decided in
favor of the defendant. The contest was
over N patent loom, or the consideration which
the first named party gave the latter for the
article in question.
The grand jury was dismissed late Thurs
day afternoon, after finding about seventy
five true bills" One of the urymen in
formed us that these bills embraced nearly
cvcry species of crime, not capital including
q "spcck of war on the borders of Hart and

English common law, made of force in this

We had tho pleasure of meeting Col ASH
MORE the member of Congress elect. lie
has been suffering from an attack of bilious
inver. but was able to be out few hours du-
ring the day. Itprcvcntcd his mingling with
his friends in Pckens this week 1t will be
gratifying to his friends to learn that, during
recent visit to Spartanburg and Union, he
found the asperitcs cngendercd by the re-
cent canvass wearing away. The "sobcr
second thought" was prevailing, which was
doing ample justice to the ability and merit
of our next Congressman. In a few weeks
Col AsuMoRE will take his scat in Congress.
where we predict for him the full measure of
success and widely extended reputation.
Anderson as we have before remarked. is
beautiful town. The terminus of the Green
vile and Columbia Blue Ridge and Airline
railroads give it prominence. and, when the
two latter arc completed, must bring her n

wealth and Importance of tho place Now,

being filled by men of character and sub

causes combine, in keeping with her former

proof positive on this point. The Masonic
