THE NEW DISTRICT OF BERKELEY.
BnRKELEr D1srn1cr. 5tb December

BERKELEY DISTRICT, 5th December.
To the Editor Of tie Daily Ne,os:
take the liberty Of calling your attention to a
communication which appeared in the Mercuru Of
Monday, headed, Berkeley a Judicial District.
with Summerville as it's Court Town. In looltino
at the map OF South Carolina it viii be seen that
each district has it's Court House located as
ly as possible in the centre. The object Of this
conceive to be that the distance may be equally
divided between those living at the extreme ends.
Summerville, instead Of being in or near the CEN
tre, is on the western border, the line dividing
Berkeley from Colleton running through the town.
1t is thus arfrom being eligible location True
it is on the South Carolina Railroad but consult
the map again, and see how much Of the esgreat
artery runs through Berkeley District, and what
advantage it is to the great majority of it's resi-
dents.
On the other hand the Northeastern Railroad
passes nearly through the centre Of the District
and there are several beautiful locations on that
road on which to erect o Court House. Pineyille
is too far up being near the northern boundary Of
the District, and seven or eight miles from the
nearest station on the railroad (St. 4Stephen,s).
Pinopois is more central, bnt it is between four
and five miles from the nearest station (Monck,s
Corner), and nearly. . mile further from the
Monck's Corner road; but there !. is at Gail

not only the most central location, but the most

those living on The eastern side Of Cooper River

the service was dispensed with.
The Barrowes is the most popular location for
the Court House,; It is central and convenient,
and land can be got f6cient on which to build
city. It is true there hotels public Places
but there are several ,sawmills very near, and If
tn Court House is placed there, hotels and other
institutions win speedily follow; and, far in
teligenee is cpncerned there are few places which
can boast Of 6 more Intelligent community than
that Of the Barrowes and vicinity. =

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, December "A remarkable feature
at the banquet given by the managers of the Con-
gressional ovation, last night was the intemperate
tone OF the orators among whom were Hiram
Walbrldge "a quondam Democrat Of the strictest
sect), who presided, Thad. Stevens and Hon. Hem
" Wilson. The recent conversion of the latter
does not appear to have moderated his malice
towards the South, nor to have appreciably en-
larged his Christian charity towards his fellow
men, except those Of q particular hue. Manifestly
he yet makes wide distinction between people Of
different seolor and race, Of the equality Of which,
great event Of the evening, beyond doubt, was the
aood Of historical lore e1lcited by the speech Of
Mr. Stewart, OF your city, who, I understand, in
tends to contest the seat Of Mr.. Phelps in the For
tieth Congress-. Stevens after, in most audacious
terms, advising the black soldiers Of the army to
President to Cromwell.
. Mr. Stewart (who is already dubbed stthe Hon
j. ]. Stewart" by the Chronicle), in responding to
the toast, s'The Recent Elections, compared Ethe
usurpaGons Of Andrew Johnson to those Of
Charles ], and Of Louis XVI, and warned him to
beware Of their fate...' These comparisons show
something Of an .'irepressible conflict" between
the historical "reminiscences Of these distinguished
statesmen. As to Charles the First, / own there
is room for debate but it is very doubtful whether
he ever attempted the exercise Of any prerogative
not exercised and fully accorded to Ave Kings and
First his immediate predecessor. But what viii
the public think Of this discovery Of the tusurpa-
tions' Of Louis xvi? Verify, the ssHon. j. J.
Stewnrt' has unwithngl made mcst suggestive
comparison, and one which, II the country would
ponder upon, in connection with the reign Of that
that succeeded his sate, might be Of incalculable
value at this time, when we are on the brink Of q
revolution equaling in it's horrors the condition Of
France from 1883 to the fall of Robespierre.
