FIFTH NiGaT OF THE TEMPER
AkCE FAIR.
Grand Issemblage OF the Beauty ana
fashion OF the Clay.

The fair, so auspiciOusly begun on
Monday evening, for the purpose of fit
ting up a hall for the Sons Of Temper
ance. ends this night, and those who have
not vet attended should be sure 10 70 to-
night, as this will,be the last, and all the
/ pretty things not disposed Of are to be
sold at auction at the close of the even
ing. The cane to be voted to the most
popular editor has already brought a
great many dollars into the treasury OF
the fair, but il is yet impossible to tell
who will be the lucky recipient. Maj.
! Allen il ahead for the saddle yet, and
Rev. NJ. Hiues has the largest num-
Der Of votes for the stereoscope.
Mrs. ]. Y. Powell, who has charge Of
the stereoscope. is determined TO make
people vote for it, and the minister who
gets it must have a very large number
of votes. DR.. O'Riely has the largest
number OF votes for the watch 10 be
voted to the favorite physician. Mrs
WhitemoTe's refreshment table has been
quite a success, and we have seldom seen
a better place to procure a resl ~epieurean
feast. Mrs. Sharp's table has done a
splendid business also, and we do not at
Ell wonder at it when we take into con-
sideration the handsome articles on the
table aud the beauty behind it. Miss
Mollie Logan has charge of a very fine
silver butter dish at this table, which Is
to be rallied tonight. Most of the
chances are already taken, and thosg'
desiring TO invest had better do so earlyN
this evening. Mrs. Cooke, that
model OF energy and perseverance, who
has done so much for the fair, met with
even better success last evening than at
any previous night since the fair COM
menced. She offers many attractions at
her table, and those who enter the hail
are sure to find out her table. She coll
lectei upward of one hundred dollars
last night. The Misses Jackson have
supplied their table with many addt-
ti0nal niceties. and will rattle the beauti-
ful case made expressly for the fair, and
donated by Mrs. McAnnally and Miss
ROwiey, many chances having already
been taken. Mrs. Specernagle keeps the
best coffee warm and ready for her Gus
TONERS, IL connection with every other
delicacy TO be had anywhere. The su-
peTintendent, Mr.. Thomas II. Cooke,
deserves much credit for the IN
which he has conducted matters, and for
his untiring energy. But as u norm
contemporaries have spoken so highly
Of him we desist.

have always been, an ardent admirer Of
the habeas corpus, but there is such a
as, using an old expression, run
ming a thing into the ground, and we
think Judge Hunter at the present term
has fallen into that very fault. We have
been slow to ceusure, but are not
that an abuse of anything oTigi-
mated for the public veal should be con-
.inUed. Lately a negro cannot be ar
rested on any state charges but a habeas
is issued and the culprit set at
liberty. We a name instances where
.he parties arrested have not remained
n confinement over two hours before Z
an order from Judge Hunier has brough%
hem before him, and before the oppose
had an opportunity to collect a.
the guilty parties were discbz
rom custody. The law was not
'Or that purpose. II a man isE5ally
detained, and an examinatiM Leuied,
lien the habeas corpus skff~ be re-
sorted 20; but il a suspAS rSharaeter

aud justice demands that Judge
II 5r should be more restricted with
Siabeas corpus, especially when issued
cases where the prisoner is suspected
