snch men have to sever the fond associations o

many others will be added to tho list remains tc
be seen. One thing is evident, that it the people
Of any and al denominations wish to retain tie

commission all the District Judges elected at tue
last regular session OF the Legislature. =Inc
Judges elect are requested, forthwith, to notify
tho Secretary or OLaLo OI llHi poseolHCo aOuleos,
and upon receiving this information he will inllne-
diately transmit to each one of the Judges his
commission Columbia Phtgnir.
The Observation-Disclosures has been very lii tlo
done in tho Legislature except talking, Of which
there has been enough to satisfy any reasonabl,
man. All seem to think that something should
be done to carry out the object of their conyoca-

the difficulty. Our wise men seem to be as much
in q fog as the rest OF us.-Caneten Journal 80
