Our Court.

The second weeks session of the
Court is still pending, and the for
Elidable Dockcts with their five
and six hundred cases arc raridly
melting down before the persistent
efforts of the Court, Counsel and

week, some three hundred unl;ti~"-

only some fifty Or more cases whic!,

Jur!cs. Judge Orr deserves the
thanks of the country foy tLo zeal
and ability which he hqs I;Yuyht

which he has relieved our crowded
Dockcts, and set the wheels of ius.

In all cases whicl. have been
brought upon "antc-war' debts.
the .lurics have fixed the measure
OF their verJicts at one-half OF the

january, 1861. And tho majority
iof these cases, by agreement o.
counsel, have been referred to tho
Clerk, t. asscaa the amount of prin.

The rule for scaling debts, which ::
furnished by Act 1860 has been ap

hardship, WIerc evidence las 'bcel
gone into as TO the true value @
the property.
The rule which has been adoptcl
by tho Jury will no doubt work iniur,

the best that could Lo adopted, IN.

iAnl-Y IN TIE WEsT.-Thc Wash.
.Ington correspondent Of tho 1yeraW
states that = prominent RcDub,ican
politician Of InGiana, who arrived 1T
as!iing'on Monday evening. gives ii
as his opinion that the Democrats will
be successful! at the local elections in
that State this Fall. The ds*atisG,c
ton with the administration is very
great, and has been brought about by
the character Of CRAFTS appoint
m2nts, his lack Of q decided foreign
policy and the extravaganza of the
Congressional Travelling Committees
ColiaX, this gentleman says, has lost
whatever popularity he had in Indi-
ana, and strong party Of politicians
is being organized to oppose his aspi-
rations to the Presidency. The Re-
publicans have lost all confidence in
Grant, and arc bitterly rcgrcttirg his
election. The gentleman who brings
this report was delegate to the Chi
cago Convention and tho most prom
incnt manipulator for the nomination
Of Colfax.

Now that the Southern States aro

wh"'r OF their cotton business on n
GOA 1aSlS; just as the foreign bankers
have always done in their dealings in

"ho'c Southern States might gradual
~ place themselves on gold currcn-
cy basis, precisely The samc'as practic,
ed in California: thus ignoring the lc-
gal Ten'!cr Act of Congress, lust ~
.He 'oy"!Statc Of California always
HAS ac"", from the beginning until
now The Southern States, by follow
ing The example Of California in buy
','S ,S IN" selling only for gold, would
'h"h accumulate ~ gold and silver
currency Which would bring about u
l'r'c''ca' resumption Of specie pay
''leh'S ana protect them from danger

arise III tho market value of thc

'r"Ads gold i'll every market, at home
and abroad, and it is q better basis

''on Of specie payments in the South
'rn States than the gold and silver
mines Of California; Every Southcr-
'cf Is Interested in the question, AID
every :j"aTna' in the South ought to
exert its influence to lring about this
result Without delay. Let the South

HoM1cIDE.-We regret to learn
that negro namod Bob Richardson,
was killed on last Monday night, in
the lower. part of tho District, by a
party of men disguised, who called
him to the door and then shot him.
No clue has yet been found to tho
perpetrators. We cannot too car

upon the fair fame of our District,
We trust that they may be brought
to deserved punishment, and thus

a NEW PHASE OF TIE WELc:!
a&o BHIsCoE DIrrIcUIry.-Itsc seems
that though it IS to the interest OF
the country, that there should be
peace, yet that the 1cud between
these notorious indiviluaIs-lil,c
that Of the "Aiontaguca ana Cap
ulcts" lis still stirring up the en-
bcrs Of strife, and making orr
community to some extent par
i!cipant i'll their difficulties. On
Tuesday of last week, we learn
that Erlscoe and his party recap
turcd the horse about which there
has been so much dispute, and
crossing the Savannah River, made
off to parts unknown. Briscoc's S
party consisted Of three. Wclch
followed with q party of four in
close pursuit. After several DAYS
riding, the B"iscoc party was over
taken on Sunday last near Barks-
dale Ferry, and being surprised,
were ovcrpowcrcd. They all cs-
capped however, except one Curtis,
who was badly beaten over the head
and captured. The horse was re-
captured also another which Bris-
coc lad been riding.
These mcn-Wclch and Briscoc
arc Tcnncsscans, and so long as
they fight among themselves, and
bear the odium of their own quar-
rcla, VIC shall not complain but
VIC protest against their making
our District a bear garden for their
unscemly disputes. HrocM!!procM.'
