embodied and made ready to hand for
applications, or rather for testing ap-
plieatitms forS claims upon jtstice.
Hence. there are too causes wherein
lie the defeating Of the ends of JUS
ticc. y, '%s3tsasy
The first is, when in the formation
of law it is colorcd with the prejudice
of selfish ends. The second is when
Its application to particular cases is
misinterprcted to subsorve 'Seltih ends.
In the first the, law is essentially,
Fundamentally and ofgahically wrong.
In the SECOND, however the law itself
may comport with u sense of justice,
however free from those taiHts that ut
tach to in tlio first case, It is over!
reached, not fully set forth, or it is
eradea. In both cases, while all tho
due forms of law arc gone through
with, it is after all a mere mockery, a
deformed representative of that SYM
metry and consistency which charac-
terise pure justice and law.
1t will readily appear from this
train of impressions how absolutely
essential it is that our law-makers
should be men above suspicion. How
essential that they should be selected
from those who have an acute sense of
right and wrong. We do not mean
only those who are simply respectable
for morality, for many a man may
commit an act Of injustice and wrong
who still has a very acute sense of
both. Not that obliquitics in conduct
should be passport to popular clcva-
tion, but that, when these exist in a
measure with the other in high de-
gree, tho last should not be rejected
because in combination with tho first.
And we could not but be gratifcd
on Friday last in the Court House,
when counsellor cited Il case of the
origin ola statute law, and stated that
it grew out of II necessity felt, but the
necessity wasnot attempted to be met
until demand was made upon the OK
Founders OF law to suggest the best
form i'll which the law tomcct that ne
ccssity should be cast.
IL is highly gratifying to us of South
Caroline to look back upon the list of
the framcrs, cXpoundcrs and admins
traitors of justice in our State. Our
Law and Equity arc a 'prond monu-
ment to the sense Of justice. But we
have prolonged these impressions.
We may embody Others that were
made. I'VE did intdnd ~ submit
some impressions IN regard to the re- |
lation between law and morals, as the |
latter appear to us to be understood in
with law and equity. but
we defer those. -,4

Great stress is laid by the advocates
of representation in the Convention
upon the announcement that it's pur-
pose is to sustain the Administration
But when that Convention has reach
ed the position of President JOHNSON, it
will have gone no farther than simply
to assert that the South ought to be
represented by men who can take the
lest Oath. Hence with allthoir blast

The Richmond Times, of a late
date, gives the following encouraging ao-
count of several of the educational institu-

We rejoice to learn that nearly all of our
leading Virginia Colleges have the promise
of an unusually large number of students
during their present sessions At Wash.
ington College and the Military Institute,
there are already more than five hundred
students, and they are still pouring into
Lexington and Charlottesville from all sec.
tions of the United States. The fame Of
General Lee has attracted students even
from Boston, most hopeful sign that the
American Sodom of goddess heresies, isms
and uncharitableness and cant, may some
day be saved by the three young Puritans
who are being educated in Virginia.

DISTRICT COURTS.

The Courts of Appeals recently held a
call session in Columbia, aud established
the times of holding the District Courts:
and code Of rules for practice therein. As
will be seen by the programme elsewhere
published, the first Court will sit on the Sd
Monday in January, for this District. Un-
der the Act organizing this Court, it has
exclusive jurisdiction in all cases of bas-
tardy and misdemeanors under the grade of
felonies; and concurrent jurisdiction to the
amount of 500 in civil suits. These Courts
will relieve the Circuit Judges of heavy
amount of business, and go far to secure the
administration of justice.
