The New Judicial System-The Commits.
sion ~ Rules OF Practice and Proce-
dure THE Recent Corporation Act"
MeSsrS. Editors Upon the adoption of
the "new Constitution" the County Courts
and the Superior Courts, as regulated
under the old regime, ceased to exist, and
we are now, in fact without State Courts
of any description, save, perhaps, Magis-
trates Courts.
The late Convention appointed three
Commissioners to report to the present
General Assembly "rules of practice and
procedure y adapted to the changes in oul
judicial system contemplated by the new
Constitution.
The Commissioners entered, of course
on their labors as soon as it was ascertained
that the Constitution had been adopted by
vote of the people. The wiseacres of the
late Convention declared that, in abolish
ing all distinctions between actions at Law
and equity. and in reducing all the ole
forms of actions to one (which shall be
denominated civil action" they had sue
ceeded in simplifying our legal proceed
ings Their purpose evidently was to dc
away with the necessity of legal learning,
| 80 that negroes and carpet-baggers might

Doubtful of the Negroes.

It seems now regarded by the Radicals
in their recent caucuses in Washington as
advisable to make sure thing of it and
cast the electoral vote of the Southern
States through the Legislatures already
elected, and not permit the pee lie of the
reconstructed - States to vote for Presi-
dent.
Carpet-bag Devices said in his speech in
Congress the other day, that if Congress
adjourned without arming the negroes the
governments established by Gus carpet
baggers would not last six months, and
if the Democrats were allowed any show at
all. So we suppose they will determine
the election beforehand, by ordering the
Legislatures to deprive the people of a
vote by appointing the electors themselves.
We have no doubt these men will stop
at no outrage to secure the Southern vote
for GRANT. Their hopes of carrying the
North are vanishing. Their awkward
back-downs in the last days of the session
are now followed by their own confessions
that things do not look prosperous for sue
cess, but that, as the election of GRANT
was "patriotic necessity" which must
be achieved, the shackled South is required
to contribute her strength for this purpose.
Consequently, as six of the States have
Radical Legislatures, and the seventh,
Georgia, is doubtful, it is decided to secure
what they were certain of while they could.
In fact, the elections in Mississippi, and
also in Alabama and South Carolina, have
demonstrated that the negroes, like their
white fellow-citizens, are "m;ghty unsar-
tin" and prudence, if not justice, deman-
ded this course.
We have made the prediction, and we
repeat it, that, after few more elections,
the colored people will find the Radicals
their chief opponents, extending not only
to political privileges, but to their civil
rights.

Municipal Affairs.

Knowing that our Mayor and Board Of
Aldermen, in surrendering the municipal
government of the city into the hands of
the persons recently appointed Mayor and
Aldermen by "Gov." Holden, acted from
the highest motives of prudence and policy
for the welfare of the citizens, we have no
words of censure for them. They agree
with us-in fact they were so advised by
their legal counsel-that the act of the
Legislature is void, and could not stand
the test of the Courts, but acted from dis.
position to do nothing to promote discord
or excite party feeling. We fear, how
ever such considerations are thrown away
upon the mercinary and vindictive partisans
who control the party usurping place and
power, and these concessions will rather
invite new aggressions than serve to ap-
pease or conciliate the cormorants who
seek to devour the substance of this fair
land.
We cannot approve of the resolution OF
the Board to test the constitutionality OF
this law as citizens. It looks as if there
was a little fear of the "pains and penal
ties =" threatened by the law. Brave sol
diers who are determined to fight would
hardly be silly enough to desert impregna-
BILE works and permit the enemy to occupy
them before the battle begun. Before any
decision could be reached in the Courts,
the terms of the present appointees will
have expired and the decision rendered
useless.
We take it, therefore, that we must abide,
as peaceful citizens, to the government of
these men who have been forced, without law
and contrary to the wishes of the people, up
on us. We are party men and can appreciate
the motives which actuate others in doing
all in their power for party success, always
limited by the bounds of honor and truth,
but how men can occupy such positions
and look the honest people of this city in
the face is one of the unexplained phenom-
ena of the human heart. We shall have
more to say OF these men hereafter.

Philadelphia.

We have received letter from friend
in Philadelphia, who formerly resided in
this city, congratulating us upon the en-
thusiasm with which the nomination OF
SEYMOUR and BLAIR has been received
throughout the country, and the satisfac-
ton which the Platform has given. tie is
reioiced at the enthusiasm manifested at
the Ratification Meeting in this city, re-
minding him of the happy days gone by.
The letter contains the assurance, based
mon the opinions of well-informed men,
that the city of Phi iladelphia will give five
thousand Democratic majority and the
State of Pennsylvania is certain Tor SEY-
MoUR and BLAIR by large majority.
This hopeful message is confirmed from
all quarters. Appearances all indicate the
success of our candidates. The backing
down of the Radicals of Congress during
the last week of the session, the first real
indications of want of confidence in the
people to sustain their revolutionary
schemes, gives the surest evidence that
thew believe their success is doubtful,
and that it is necessary to "grow circum-
spect " in their aggressive policy. Let us
go to work with good heart the skies are
bright and Frightening. There is hope for
q peaceful and prosperous solution of our
present difficulties and dangers in the
stern and powerful voice of the people at
the ballot-box.

The University.

We learn that Colonel G.. L. Harris, who
is the Superintendent of Public Works
elect, Holden's man Friday, has, by order
of his master, taken charge of the build
ings Of the University, and that institu
ton is now under military guard. The
former military services of Colonel Harris
have been confined to hunting Confederate
deserters, and not stated with the glory he
won in that field, he seeks the "bubble
reputation in another.
We understand this movement is caused
by the impression that the members of the
two Literary Societies would do something
to remove their libraries from Chapel
Hill.
