Justices of the Peace.

We observe that the Sentinel and other pa.
pers are discussing the question of the civil
magistracy, and urging the Legislature to be
careful in appointing magistrates for the va
rious Counties.
The evil of inefficient and incompetent
Justices of the Peace will not be remedied
until the Constitution is so altered as to make
these officers elective by the people. Neither
ought they be appointed or elected for life
Life officers are not only inconsistent with
the principles of republican government but
their tendency is to render the occupant in
different to advancement in knowledge, and
independent of the people, who are the
source of all power. Our opinion is that
our civil magistracy would be materially i'm
proved if the election were vested in the peo-
pie, so many Justices to so many inhabitants,
whether in town or country. Small fees
might be allowed the Justices thus chosen,
first, because it would encourage them in
their duty, and second because they ought
not to be expected to give their services to
the public for nothing.
But while we give our contemporaries credit
for zeal for the public welfare in this bust
ness, we fear there is peculiar significance in
their repeated illusions to the civil magistfa-
CIV. These illusions may be intended to no.
tify the faithful of the importance ofappoint-
ing in all the Counties a majority of Seces
sionists as justices, so that those members
who are Secessionists, and those who believe
that they acted periodically in keeping
faith with their associates" in the rebellion,
may come to Raleigh prepared with names
to carry out this work. Competent officers,
excellent officers, good officers, admirable Of
fcers, when spoken of by those now in power
in this State, generally mean good Davis men
or good Vance men, who fought to the last
either in person or by proxy, and who, if
they did not at first believe in the rebellion,
at last got to love it, and "acted in good
faith with their associates We hear that
in some of the Counties, little village juntos
of Secessionists and faith-keepers with the
rebellion are getting together and preparing
lists to be presented to the Legislature, and
it may be that some Union members of the
latter body will be so weak as give in to the
schemes set on foot to build up the secession
party of this State. The cry just now is, let
the old Justices be re-appointed, and the rea-
son is that large majority of these were vio-
lent war men. Many of them persecuted

,Dr. Cheever and Henry Ward Beecher.

Alabama.

On the Goth of last month, Provisional
Governor Parsons, in the presence of the
Legislature, formally delivered to Robert M.
Patton, Governor elect by the people, the
papers and property of the State; and in
doing so Gov Parsons laid before the Legis-
lature in detail the work which had been
done by him, and informed that body as to
the then condition of the State He closed
his address with the expression, God save
the State of Alabama!" Gov. Patton re
sponded in appropriate terms. He said:
"The policy pursued by Governor Parsons in
the administration of the provisional government
had been emihently successful and beneficial to
the State. 1t was the key by which Alabama had
passed out from the confusion and state OF an
archy attending the closing scenes of the war; into
the broad sunlight of civil law and order. The
representatives of the people of Alabama had en-
dOrsed the policy of Governor Parsons admins
tration by comforting upon him high trust-a
scat in the United States Senate. He did not be-
lieve that we had passed the period Of our politi
cal trouble. The radicals in and out of Congress
were endeavoring to prevent the restoration of
the Southern States to their equal rights and priv
ileges under the Constitution.
He repeated his determination to endeavor to
do all in his powerto promote the general welfare
and advance the material prosperity of the people
Of Alabama, and insure the perpetuity Of the
Union.
Governor Patton, as the constitutional au-
thority, chosen by the people" has assumed the
complete management of the affairs of the State,
except far as the military hold the civil author
tiles in check It is understood that Gen. Geo.
H. Thomas had determined to recommend the
withdrawal of the Federal troops from the State
but there were apprchensions in certain localities
of trouble with tne freedmen during Christmas
week, and prominent officials of the State recon-
present.
Governor Patton is issuing commissions to all
State and County officers recently elected; and
also re commissioning the following officers ap-
pointed by Gov. Parsons viz: Judges of probate,
Justices of tile Peace, Notaries Public, 81"

= y
poorer by three hundred millions Of dollars
than it was in 1860 It may be, however,
that we have underestimate the value of the
whole property of the State, and that at least
fifty millions should be added; but granting
this to be so, the clear loss would still appear
TO be the enormous sum of two hundred and
fifty millions. Many years must elapse, even
with the greatest industry and economy on
the part of our people, before they can hope
to be as "well Off as they were before the
war. s
The sayings of Benjamin Franklin, in his
Poor Richards Almanac, have had no small
influence in forming the character of the New
England people. Many of us, in former
times, have ridiculed aud despised these say
ings. For example,
''He that by the plough would thrive,
Must either hold himself or drive"
Or this
GA penny saved is two pence clear,
A pin Days groat year.
But these sayings, with the natural sterility
of the soil, which enjoined economy from ne
cessity, have contributed in no small degree
to make New England what it is.
We would all do well, in beginning the
world anew-for that is what most of US are
doing-to keep in mind these sayings of the
wise printer, and practice them. That which
is saccd is made. We know that old habits
are hard to break. We by no means suggest
parsimony on sting iness as trait to be adj
mired either in nations or individuals. Such
things are not only mean, but they exhibit
bad economy. But we respectfully urge that
all should be not only diligent in business,
but frugal in their expenditures and econom-
ical in their habits !" How use doth breed
habit in man" We have been used to
many things that we must dispense with
Fortunately for us, as some aid in this pro-
posed reform, the last two or three years of
the Confederacy, so-called, reduced us to
many expedients taught us the value of real
money, and how we could live comfortably
without Injuries. Let us profit by this les
son. In the first place, economy is necessa-
ry We cannot omit to practice it. If we
would, and hope to accumulate any thingfor
the future. In the second place, it is vir-
| tue which will reward us in our fortunes and
in our enjoyments, in proportion as we prac-
tice it. In the third place, the example we
will thereby set for the rising generation will
be of incalculable value and not only this,
as an inevitable incident, the colored people,
patterning after us, will be benefited and i'm
proved. We expect to be great people
over here in North Carolina, after awhile
We are laying anew the foundations of the
social edifice Let the chief corner stones be
Virtue and Intelligence, and let them be sue
ceeded in regular order by Industry, Fru-
gality, and Economy. Such house will
stand The winds and the floods will beat
upon it in vain But other structures, founded
on Ignorance and Vice, and dedicated to
Idleness, Extravaganza, and Luxury, must
inevitably fall

and oppressed our people during the REBEL
ion. If the members of the Legislature wish
to appoint good and loyal men to the civil
magistracy, let them look first to the list Of
Provisional magistrates; and after making
their pick of loyal men from that list, let
them look elsewhere.
Let the Union members of the Legislature
be on their guard in appointing Justices An
advantage will be taken of them, if they are
not firm and watchful.

There never was time in the history of
our people when it was more incumbent up
ON them to be economical in their expendi-
lures There is no doubt of the truth of the
old saying, Economy is the road to wealth"
Not parsimoniousness or stinginess, but econ
omy- A stingy person will seldom venture
enough of his treasure to realize gains in
trade, but he hugs it, and adds to it in
little ways, and so grows rich by very slow
degrees; and when rich, the habit of hoard
ing and holding has become so fixed with.
him that he cannot get rid of it, and he is
thus unhappy himself, and an object of aver

economy is a virtue, that sheds contentment
and satisfaction as well on those who prac-

Mr.. STEVENS PosITIoN-During the re-
bellion, when the rebels had complete pos
session Of eight States, and disputed with the
Government the possession Of four more, we
claimed, and so we believe did Mr.. Stevens,
that those States were never out ofthe Union
that State could not take itself out of the
Union. and the war was fought on the prin-
ciple that the Union could not commit sui
eide by allowing any part of it to Withdraw
from its allegiance. Non, when we have
possession of all the States-now that the
flag floats over every inch of territory ever
belonging to the Government, Mr.. Stevens
hold that they scere and are out of the Union
reversing completely the position he as
sumed four years ago, and the principle
which justified us in carrying on war Mr..
Stevens is valuable man, but he is frequent
ly impracticable.- Toledo Blade.
