General Candy and Governors Worth
and Orr held a conference yesterday and
the day before, relative to affairs within
District No. 2. 1t is understood that the
Provisional Governments will be continued
without modification. The decision reIa-
tive 10 the iuries for the Fall term OF the
courts will likely result in enabling the
Judges to hold all the remaining terms OF
the court without delay or Inconvenience.
The jurors drawn at the last Spring term,
and who have heretofore been summoned,
will attend the several courts, and will
serve, with this qualification, that either
party, in civil cases, or the State, or prs-
oncr, in criminal cases, shall have
the right to challenge jurors SO at
tending, who have not been registered
In drawing new juries, at the present fall
terms of the court, new lists shall be made
ND of all male adults who have paid ta0
for the present year, and the jurles drawn
from such lists. Persons who are not re
gistered will be placed on these lists, and
NAV be drawn but on attending mex
spring, or at the January term OF the Dis
trict Court, may be challenged by cause O.
non-recistratiOn. The juries drawn by the
Circuit and District Judges last week, IN
der Order 80, are recognized as the leSa
iuries for the courts when drawn. All lu
rors, therefore, who were drawn at th'
sprinr term for the fall courts IN the Supe
rior Courts, and all jurors drawn in th'
District Courts in July, Will attend IN con
formitv to the summons which they have
already received.

usually finish off with deep fringe. Now

such stock of goods, as cannot fail to strike
the beholder with bewildering amazement,
and please the fancy of all; and whereas hav
ing entered the field for the Fall and Winter
Campaign of Trade, am determined to re-

its, which have settled upon our whole coun-
try like mighty incubus, sinking the POOR
into deeper depths of poverty, and dragging
the affiuent down, and even driving many to
distraction. And whereas, have taken I'M
usual pains in theselection of my stock, and
have purchased them all at the lowest cash
prices which will enable me to accommodate
the purchaser at the lowest possible figures:
Therefore l, Simon H. Hilb, do hereby issue
this my proclamation to dispose of my stock
upon such terms as must give entire satisfac-
tion. Whereas, have this the goth day OF
