CIRCUIT JUDGEs-THEIR DUTY.

Governor Holden has appointed the usual
number Of Superior Court Judges and Solicitors
for the State. 1t is not expected at present
that these Judges will hold the regular Fall
Term of the Superior Courts. The object seems
to be to hold courts for the trial of criminal
causes only, and for this purpose, term of the
courts will be ordered in every County where it
may be required.
Criminal cases of greater or lesser magnitude
are liable to occur at any time, and most certain
~ will occur in many Of the Counties OF the
State. The policy Of our law and constitution,
is that offenders against the peace should be
given speedy trial, snd should not be long re-
strained under bonds or in prison. 1t is also
believed that all citizens much prefer trial by
the civil law, to trial by military commission;
therefore these Judges and Solicitors have been
appointed, that so far az is in the power of the
Governor, an opportunity every citizen shall
have to be speedily tied by the Judges and
juries of the civil law, for all criminal offences
with which they are charged. 1t is according
to the education Of our people, and to the gen.
JUS of our institutions, that all men should have
a speedy trial, and should be tried by jury of
their equals, under the rules and regulations Of
the civil law. So far as the Governor has the
power, he has complied with these terms, and
so far be has power, every citizen of the State
shall have the opportunity of a speedy trial BY
Judge and jury under the rules of the civil law.

Do NEGROES VOTE. IN THE NORTH
There are only two States in the Union where
the negro is allowed to vote without a property
qualification. They are Vermont and New
Hampshire, the former of whom has only eighty
negro voters, and the latter one hundred and
ninety. =,
In Massachusetts, every voter must, within
two years have paid State or couAty tax, UNI
less excused from taxation.
In Rhode Island voter must own real estate
Of one hundred and thirty -four dollars in value.
A colored person is not allowed to vote in
New York unless he has resided in the State
three years, and is freeholder in value of two
hundred and fifty dollars, and paid taxes there
90.
Massachusetts,, which does not at home allow
any man to vote who has not paid State OF
county tax directly for they all pay it Indirect

shall allow negroes to vote without such a dis
elimination. She goes in for universal black

MURDER.-We learn from the Danvile Reg
lister that most shocking anG atrocious murder
was perpetrated in Milton, N. c., recently. The
individual murdered was Mr. W. T. Smith, a
highly respectable man about fifty years Of age,
who was salesman 10 stor. Of which Mr. James
r. Callum, OF that place, is proprietor, and the
deed was committed in theItore house, in which
he did business.
Although the act was perpetrated early in the
Dight-perhaps not later than 9, P. NJ, such
was the quiet of the village that no discovery
was made of it until the assassin had done his
work and made good his esGpe. Some persons
passing along the street about II o'clock had
their attention attracted tothe store house by
the door being a little ajar, when they entered
add found Mr. Smith lying upon the floor life
less, his head split open with Ratchet so as to
expose the brain, and his body weltering in his
own blood. The money-we have not heard
how much-ln the store was saken, and there is
no doubt that the foul deed was perpetrated
purely for the sake of gain, as the victim was
remarkably quiet and peaceabls man, and one
without enemies.
Suspicion OF the deed rests upon young man
named Bursh, of Milton, latelyEa soldier 10 the
Confederate army, who is KIND vn to have left
the place on the nj ght of the murder, upon a
boat, and who, after Disgusting himself as
Federal soldier, proceeded to Barksdales' Depot,
and took the railroad train at that place. Every
effort is being made to secure his arrest, and, if
guilty, he will doubtless be brought to the pun
ishment he so richly deserves (
