RANDOLPH COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT
This court was holden last week by his Hon
or Judge Gillian. We are informed, that there
Dever were SO many people seen on the Court
green, and there business of legal charao-
ter, since Randolph has been county. Nearly
every DAY of the week, she Court house vas not
simply crowded, but packed, damned and cram
med Lawyers who came n late, could scarce
ly make their way through the throng to the
bar; and the Solicitors office was like an
Enrolling Office in the busiest days of Con-
federate CONSUMPTION. From what We learn
tie people of that county have each other en-
phatcally by the and pulling one an
other like the very deuce. Instead Of letting
by-eones be by-gones, with the restoration of
civil government and the reopening Of the
Courts, they are renewing something of the
strife and trouble which SO afflicted that and
other counties in the hottest times of the revo-
luton out Of which We have so recently emerged.
We regret this no little; but as faithful chroni-
cler Of the news it is our duty 10 publish facts
and approve or dsapprove them. The animus,
with which that people is moved, is net
mendabe.
OF convictions and submissions, there were
not less than fifty; of all the bills of indictment
found the number is at least eighty; and there
were great many prcsentments and Old
rants on which the parties had to be re bound,
because Mr. Solicitor Settle did not have time
to draw bills. He worked day and night, drew
over one hundred bills; but the Grand Jury,
who coald net on account of its numbers work
so rapidly, acted upon only about eighty. We
understand there are several bills charging de-
PENDANTS with murder. The old citizens and
such as were called loyal during the days of the
Southern Confederacy are prosecuting the bush
whackers and robbers; and on the other hand,
the bushwhackers, who now set themselves up
as par ercellence Uuion~ citizens, are indictng
the military ulcers and such as acted under
their orders for assaults and batteries, forcble
tresspasses false imprisonments and .murder--
The spirit of retaliation has just begun to move
them and it is difficult to tell how far and to
what extremes it may impel them. We greatly
hope it will Soon expire, and that peace, concord
and brotherly regard may succeed it.-Greens-
