violence. Let all vote for the Democratic candi
dates, hoping thereby to subserve the peace and
prosperity Of our common country.

HON. ". D. SIMPSONS ADDRESS.

On Friday last number of our citizens had the
pleasure of hearing an address at the Court House,
by Hon. VIM. D. Simpson, the Democratic can
didate for Congress from this Congressional Dis
trict COL Simpson is an eloquent and forcible
speaker, and was listened to with marked atten,
ton. His speech went to prove that the Radical
party was lineal descendant Of the old Federal
party of 1857, and that all the despotic powers
over the States and people, with which tho Fed
eralists desired to invest Congress, had been u.
surped and exercised by the present Radical Con,
gress. BE showed that Congress had violated the
Constitution; paralyzed with terror the Supreme
Court; tied the hands of the Executive; crushed
labor to the earth and stagnated the industry and
commerce of the country, by unequal and onerous
taxation. He argued that so disastrous upon
public and private interests had been the tyranny
extravaganza, and misrule of the Radical party
that the Northern masses-a majority Of whom
were Democrats before the war-felt that nationa
and industrial interests demands change, and
that as result, he predicted the triumphant elec
ton of Seymour and Blair

THE COURTS.

Under the new Constitution of this Safe (st
called) the Sixth Judicial Circuit is composed @
the Districts Of Chester, Lancaster, York and Un
ion. It's provided that there shall be three terms
of the Court, during each year. in each District 81 O
the Circuit. The Courts for York Distrlct WI
commence on the ilst Mondays in March, July and
November and will continue in session for such
period during eachof said months as the business
including civil, criminal and Equity JIrisdiction-
may require. Hereafter there will be no separate
and distinct Courts Of Equity as heretofore The
members of our bar are of the decided opinion that
it will be impracticable to hold Court next month
and it is highly probable that we viii not have
session of Court until the March Term, unless the
Judge recently elected may deem, it necessary to
call an extra term to try State cases. Of which due
notice will be given. In view Of the crowded con
dition of our Jail, and the expense to the State Of
dieting prisoners, Court of Session seems imper,
atively demanded. mis-. .a:,y., ~ .r yg5..
Our inexperienced Legislators neglected to order
an election for Solicitor by the people, as the Con
stitution provides In consequence Of this grave o.
mission, we are informed that Judge Boozer was
compelled to dismiss the Grand Jury, at the open.
ing of the Court last week in Columbia, as he was
not authorized to supply the omission by appoint
uent. He could not do otherwise thap!to dismiss
the grand jury, as questions would naturally arise
hereafter as to the regularity of trials and convic.
tions in the absence of Solicitor. ~, .i71ag !.
Our attorneys, under these circumstances, are
not expecting Court in November, and we can
now see no necessity for the attendance of jurors
and witnesses on the first Monday Of next month.
Should any definite information indicate that Court
will be in session next month, we will give due no
tice of the same .g .,...-' q. .og. ~;
