The CRIMINAL CoURT.-Colonel Edward
Cantwell, Judge of the Special Court es-
tablished for this city by an act of the
recent Legislature, is in our city. The
matter of the removal of his disabilities
has been settled. They were removed in
the name of "Edward Garfield - which.
having been decided clerical error, is said
not to effect the fact of the removal
The regular time for the holding of his
Court is tomorrow, the first Monday in
October, and he is here in the city, we
learn, for that purpose. We doubt, how
ever, that the Court can be held, or at least
trial of cases entered into. There has
been no jury properly drawn and there is
no mode provided by law by which jury
can be obtained.
The act establishing this Court especially
provides that at least fourteen days prior
to the time of holding such Courts, the
Register of Deeds and the Clerk of said
Court shall draw from the jury-box the
names of thirty-six men to serve as jurors.
This not having been done, we can see no
means by which jury can be obtained
There is a hitch or strange Inconsistency
somewhere. The law also provides that
the Clerk of the Court shall qualify in open
Court, and there having been no Courts
held since his appointment, he has been
unable to qualify, and consequently there
was no Clerk to assist the Register in
drawing jury.

The Treasury Department has let it leak
out little in advance of the official state
ment that there will be another small in
crease of the national Indebtedness this
month. We use the language of the Wash.
ing telegram as to the "small increase >
but the correspondent says &c it may pos
sibly reach two million five hundred thou
sand dollars that is, at the rate of thirty
prised, however, if the sum named were to
be below the figure when the official state
ment is published It is said that this in
crease is owing principally to the unusual
heavy expenditures of the War Depart
ment in carrying out the Radical measures
of reconstruction. We learn, at the same
time, that the receipts from internal reve-
nue. are surprisingly small, and that the
cash in the Treasury has been pretty well
reduced.
This is anything but fattering prospect
of our national finances.
How could 1t be otherwise The expen-
ditures of the Government continue to be
enormous. They are war expenditures in
amount, though the country is at peace,
and has been for more than three years
past. The heaviest is for the War Depart
ment in carrying out the reconstruction
measures of Congress. It would be better
to say. however, that this vast expense has
been for keeping the South in disorgan-
lied and disturbed condition, for that is
what this so-called reconstruction amounts
to. Then the enormous appropriations by
Congress for ali sorts of schemes, bounties,
Freedmen's Bureau, and private enterpri.
ses must soon drain the Treasury dry when
the income is falling off. The stupendous
frauds in the internal revenue, and the de.
moralization of that department. through

The Peabody Fund.

The trustees of this fund, who have been in
session in New York. closed their deliberations
Wednesday, The World says the object of
their meeting was chiefly to listen to the semi.
annual report of the General Agent, Rev. DR..
Sears, of Virginia, and to make appropriations
for the next SIX months DIR. Sears's report is
highly satisfactory, as showing the earnest de-
sire Of the Southern people to cooperate with
the trustees, and the progress Of the system of
education which has been devised, and is being
actively carried out under the joint direction Of
the School Superintendents of the Southern
States and of the General Agent DIR. Sears
has been for the last six months travelling
through the States OF North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama and Tennessee, comforting with lead
ing gentlemen upon the object ofthis magnificent
donation, and addressing the people of the
principal towns and cities upon the subject of
Free School Education He has everywhere
been received with the utmost kindness and
cordiality.
The Board authorized the appropriation of
seventy-6ve thousand dollars for the ensuing
six months, and, in addition, about seventy
eight thousand dollars, conditioned on the rails
ing of money, in cooperation by the COM
munities receiving assistance-the sums con
tributed by the Board varying, according to
circumstances from one third to two-thirds of
the amount necessary to sustain the respective
schools DR.. Sears reports the entire people of
the South as enthusiastic In their gratitude to
MIR. Peabody and their appreciation of Insight.
Resolutions Of coincidence with the family of
the late William G. Rives, and expressing the
trustees sense of the loss sustained by his
death, were passed, and the Board adjourned
to meet in Baltimore on the third Thursday of
January 1862

The past week was one of interest in Staun-
ton The Fairs Concert, and Commencement
exercises of the three female Summaries in
Staunton furnished interest and entertainment
to the ladies and gentlemen not only of this
place, but to many from distance. The many
interesting and fne-looking girls who were
pupils of the Female Seninaries have gone to
their respective homes where they will receive
cordial parental greetings, and will, doubtless,
enjoy themselves greatly for a while, but many,
if not all of them, will soon desire to return that
they may enjoy the pleasant company of their
associate pupils We would be pleased to see
all the schools of this place filed the next ses
sion. Those having girls to be educated can
not do better than to send them to Stanton.
The locality is remarkably healthful, and the
schools as good as elsewhere.

CONCERT BY THE BLIND PUPILS.

Those who have attended the excellent con-
certs given by the blind pupils, at the Institution
for the d. d s. Blind, in this place. know the
character of the rich musical treats enjoyed by
them on such occasions. The larger numbers
who attend, attest the popularity of these con-
certs. On Monday night of last week the spacious
Chapel of the Institution was unable to contain
the vast numbers who attended, eager to enjoy
the fine music which they knew would be fur
nished by the pupils who have received their mus
ical instruction from Prof A j. Turner. That
Institution is fortunate in having the valuable
services Of Prof. Turner as musical Instructor of
its pupils the right man is in the right place.
The musical attainments of his blind pupils are
wonderful, and their skill excites the admiration
of all who attend the concerts given by them.

A Juvenile Concert under the direction of

Institution for D. d. and Blind on Thursday
evening" July End at clock This is some
thing new in Staunton, and we doubt not, it
will be highly pleasing and interesting enter
talnment The DR.. has.sbeen untiring in his
efforts to elevate the standard of music here,
and his efforts have been crowned with great
success. Our Musical Association which, since
its organization has been conducted by him, is
one Of which We may be justly proud; and In
asmuch as he has given to this, his services
without any emolument and has likewise unit
ed the Sabbath Schools of the town into class
and has been for some time past instructing the
young in the rudiments Of music, we sincerely
hope that our citizens will show their apprecia
ton by patronizing this Concert, SO that at
least this attempt to interest our youth, and
give an impetus to the cause of music, shall
not prove, by the expenses attending it, less
to him. We regard it moreover as duty we
owe to the young, to show our encouragement
to them, and manifest that we feel an interest
in their musical attainments. X.
