CIRCUIT CoURr.-Civl matters, in the CIR
cult court, make the usual progress, and the
court will probably be in session some days
to come.
OF criminal matters there is not much of
interest.

Devoe Champions store, nearly year ago,
was convicted and sentenced to Is months In
the penitentiary.
John H. Watson. of Drury. was indicted
for stealing cattle from David Ewing, arrested
and committed to Jail, and case continued to
next term.
Alice Pierce was indicted for robbing
man she and Geo. Brace were riding with, in
Hampton, and case continued George was
not indicted and was released from Jail
Michael Gallagher, tried for stealing re-
VOlVer, was acquitted.
Charles Dale. of Port Byron, plead guilty
to stealing S., or less. He is only Is or l6
years of age, and will probably get few
months In the county jail.
These are all the criminal cases disposed
Of except the following, indicted for selling
liquor contrary to law, viz: j. j. Crosby,
Watertown; Jacob Guckhart, Hampton
Geo. Nehmeyer, ditto; VIM. Jones, David
Finley, and Erastus Rabbit, of Andalusia !;
Geo. Simpson, of Warrens Creek John
Goode, Coopertown. All plead guilty to
few counts, as agreed on between them and
the prosecuting attorney.

ALL HAIL, NEW-JERsEN.

We write without positive Assurance that
MARCUS l.. WARD has beaten Gen. Theodore
Runyon in the popular vote Of New-Jersey for
Governor but with very strong hope that even
that triumph has been achieved. The gains Of
Ward on Lncolns vote of last November are
50 large and uniform as 10 leave little doubt Of
the result. We have gains Of two-thirdS of
McClellsn's majority in less than two-thirls Of
the State, and presume the rest has done as
well. We hope to learn before going TO press.
But, at all events, THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT ABOLIsHIYG AND PROHIBITING
SLAVERY WILL NOW BIZ RATIFIED BY NEW
JERSEY. We had last year 80 to 80 in the
House and to 13 in the Senate. The House
is of course safe enough. And we have already

MERCER and ATLANTIC all represented by

their general tenor indicates the election of
WARD as Governor by about 1000 majority.

WORK FOR WOMAN.

The admission Of Miss Garrett TO practice
in London as druggist is exciting much COM
ment in England. She went through the usual
course, five years apprenticeship, preliminary
examination in arts, and two professional exam-
nations, each comprising five subjects. 1t IS
said Of Miss Garrett that her examination was
particularly brilliant, and that the Chairman OF
the Apothecaries "complmented her on her
preparation, expressing wish that all men
were as well prepared" Whether we are to re-
gard this as the Chairman's appreciation OF her
sex or not, the compliment seems to be de-
served; and we trust Miss Garrett will succeed
in gaining large practice, thus earning living
for herself, and, we venture to hope prospective
husband and future family. A London journal
remarks that toward this lady the regular
practitioners are understood to feel great
jealousy" 'just as the Irish in New-York do Of
negro candidates for work; and he will be a bold
man who first consents TO meet Miss Garrett in
consultation" There is about a. much sense in
the opposition Of the Irish chambermaid toward
the chambermaid from Virginia, as there is in
this dislike of London male physicians toward
women. According to all the authorities, this
woman is proficient in the arts and sciences; she
has passed through all the forms of study, and
certainly knows as much about the functions of
the body, the cause and course Of disease, the
nature Of remedies and the surest way of pre-
serving health, as the bigoted Sawboneswho be-
lieve that medicine is among the fixed sciences,
and that all attempts at innovation are en-
pirical.
II Is with medicine a. with all sciences. The
older we grow the more we know. The laws
Of nature are not mere instincts. We must
delve and toll, and 60 down to the bottom of the
ses, and search the bowels Of the earth, if
we would obtain the rarest treasures SO with
the science of medicine. The relations between
our wonderful compound Of flesh and blood,
and the vast universe wherein ii finds q myster-
ous home, are only indistinotly known, and
every year gives US some new thought. Why

NETWORK is TRUE!
Reported Maj0rities.

Our returns are. OF course, very ihPeiio0T
but they suffice to indicate the election OF inc
entire Union State ticket by at least 10000
majority. 1t may be double that, but it is better
to be safe. Enough that Henry ". Siofam Is
worse beaten than Mcclellan or Seymour was
last year. and John Van Burcs considerably
worse. even, than Slocum. We have
right to presume that every man
on the Union State Ticket is elected by hand
some majority. We especially rejoice that
those excellent men, able jurists and true
patriots, WARD HUNT and JOHN X. PORTER,
are chosen Judges of Appeals. We do not re-
oce that Judge John w. Brown is beaten; We
do rejoice that Martin Grorcr is.
So far as we have seen, Lucius Robinson is
beaten by THOMAS HnLHoUsE rather worse
than Gen. Slocum il by Gen. BARLOW.
The LEGISLATURES is even better than last
year-better morally as well rs better political

the Senate. We have two Cnstead of one)

probable, that Robert Christie is reelected from

Of the Presbyterian Synod of Virginia, and the

had taken place in Hungary, in which the Lib

a President, who held "an opinion as is an

power, President Napolo, it was said, doubted
that that debt was in strict accordance with
the legal rights Of Hungary, but that it rests
upon basis of equity and common interests of
Hungary and Austria. Who President Napolo
