COURT WEEK.
81 nays.

Tho Court of General Sessions and Common
Pleas began its session at this p ace OIL Monday
last. The time Of the Court, up to last evening"
had been altogether occupied with Sessions busl-
ness, and the principal characters in the inlet
ments arc mostly of that class of newly made cit
izsns denominatcd freedmen. who are as Jealous
TO have n showing in this arena as all Others
albei, they stand arraigned at the bar Of their
country. The presiding Judge, Hon. JAMES
Oar, seems perfectly ut ease in his new position
and receives the highest cncomiums from every
quarter for patience, impartiaiily aud ability.
The new Solicitor. WM. IL. PERRY, Esq. although
= young man, without any great experience at The
bar, is performing his duties satisfactorily. and
will soon make an excellent officer. We will give
further particulars next week. as The Court will
probably remain in session for week or ten days
longer

COMPLIMENTARY.

We are glad TO observe that our FRIEND Maj.
youS B. MoonE, is earning laurels by his course
in the Legislature. lie has recently made speech
OH an important bill, which was effective enough
10 carry the measure 10 the tomb OF the Cnpuets.'
The bill authorized the fees now allowed by law to
Clerks and Probate Judges on sales OF propcr!
under decree of courts, TO be paid oyer TO the
sberirs. and we learn that several Republican
members requested Maj. MooRr TO ventila'c the
bill, and give them information on the subject
Whereupon, according to the correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, he '.madc an eloquent and for
chile speech. which struck to the heart of the BILL
and by its power it fell to rise no more" The bill
was indefinitely postponed b. vote Of oS yeas to
81 nays.

oBgAK1zAr1oN OF FORK TOWNSHIP.

Under the act of the Legislature ITO define the
jurisdiction and duties OF County Commissioners"
We are informed that the Commissioners Of Andcr
son County have ordered meeting to be held In
Township No J, known and designated as the Fork
township en- Saturday, the 18th day Of February
next, for the purposes designated by the pr0yis-
ions of the twelfth section of the act aforesaid
The County Commissioners have named Messrs.
z. f. HARRISON, n. L. VANDlvEn and BENZ HoL-
LAND as the Selcctmen to organize. the township
ewhose duty it shall be to preside at such meeting,
appoint clerk, open and keep the polls, and e1-
ercise the same powers as Justices of the Peace,
while presiding at such meeting" Theact organ
iging townships provides for the election ofa Town
Clerk, three Selectmen, one or more Surveyors Of
highways, aud one Constable, and We presume
that these officers are 10 be chosen Mt the meeting
above referred 10. Every male citizen Of the age OF
twenty Que years and upwards resident within The
township, is allowed 10 vote. The boundaries OF
the Fork township arc the Seneca and Tugalo Riv'
ers.
The organization Of townships, under this act
of tho Legislature, will naturally cause some con-
fusion and much trouble, and We think the Coun-
ty Commissioners have very properly began the
work by ordering single organization at this
lime In this way our people will gradually be-
come familiar with the practical workings of the
law, and will more readily understand its provis-
i,us. In our judgment, the whole scheme is un-
necessary and i'll adapted to the wants OF this sec
,ion. but nevertheless the law must be obeyed,
and without murnuring or dissenting from its
behests, we must put the new system into opera
tion, trusting for beneficial results in the end.

OUR DANGER.

The cotton crop of 1868 has been Godsend 10
the South. We have money in abundance, eur
credit is rapidly improving the chains arc broken
which bound us, our future is bright with hope
And vet all this will be an evil, rather than good
if ne do not persevere in that wise agricultur
policy whose first fruits We now enjoy.
| Our danger is that the planters may be tempted
by high prices-the result of moderate crop,
growing trade and reckless speculation to pitch
huge crops of cotton. Each map who sold upland
cotton at 25 or q or 90 cents wished that he had
twenty bales instead of ten, or hundred in place
Of fifty. This feeling, however pa,ura, we must
conquer or be undone.
We have made money by tho cotton crop of 1868,
because cotton was not first and principal care
There had been two seasons ofanxicty, disappoint-
ment and loss, which forced the planter to acknowl-
edge that his only safety lay in securing, at any
cost, what bread and meat he required. Tho dull
lest and most wrong headed could see this necessi
ty, and rs consequence the Soath produced all
the breadsuffs she needed, the corn crop Of South
Carolina alone being 2.G00, 900 bushels more than
it was in 1867. Cotton was secondary consider
alton with the planter; but the two-and-a-half
million of bales which form the crap of the year
have still brought us moro money than four mil
lion bales would have done at the prices of before
the wav. Had the whole strength cf the South been
directed to the culture OF cotton the crop would
have been three million bales or more, and then
our fortunes would have been staked upon one
cast of the dic prices would have fallen and the
purchase of Western grain would have swallowed
up the greater part Of the net proceeds of our cot
side help. We have not eaten into the MORROW, we
have HOT been obliged to throw our cotton upon
the market and We approach another season with
dstendcd purses and the fairest prospects of sue
cess
, But tire lessons Of this yerr and Of the years
which hn' preceded it will be worse than thrown
away, if high pri ces induce our planters to make
cotton their king and not their slave. The first
labor, the first thought, the first pains, should be
given 10 ,hc wheat, and provisions and them
and not before, might the reign of cotton begin.
We should have the best seed, so rs to Improve tho
staple fertilizers should be used freely, so rs to
increase the yield per acre; more land should
be planted lAaa can he cultivated regularly nnd
well. And cotton crop made in this manner will
repeat the lesson of 1868, and realize for us far
more money than larger yield at lower prices
with millions Of dollars to pay away in buying our
daily bread

DEATH OF JAMES A. BLACK, ESQ.

The Abbcvillc papers record the death OF JAMES
AUGUSTUS BLACK, widely known citizen of thai
District. which sad event occurred in Columbia OH
Tuesday, Iath instant. He was IL member elect to
the Legislature, to fill out an unexpired term. but
had not entered upon the duties of his office in
consequence Of being disqualified under the four
.eep,h amendment at the time Of his election. His
liabilities were removed, however, and he had
jus. repaired to the scene OF future lahors, when
he was seized with the fatal illness. 1t was thought
,bat his conservatism and experience would gre'.tly
benefit the Sao, and great regret is felt that these
authorizations are not to be realized. For many

THE PEABODY EDUCATIONAL FUND.

The annual meeting of the Board of Trustees OF
the Peabody Southern Educational Fund was held
in Baltimore Inst week. There was full atten-
dance of members. and the meeting was presided
over by Hon. ROBERT G: WINTHROP, of Massachu-
se;ts, the President of the Board SAMUEL WAT
SON, of Tennessee. was unanimously elected 10 NIL
the vacancy occasioncd by the death of Hon. W.
C. RlvEs, of Virginia.
The report of tho general agent, Rov. Dr. SEARS
as givento the press, is confined particularly 10
operations in Western Virginia, Arkansas, and
Tennessee. II says: "Since the making of my last
report have been able TO complete the general
survey of the eleven States which fall within our
province. Special attention Turing this interval
has been given to West Virginia, Arkansas, and
Western Tennessee had hoped also to complete
some unfinished work in the eastern part OF South
Carolina, but several causes prevented"
He remarked "that in some of tho States the
political excitement of the last six months had not
been favorable to that cooperation of all parties
which is necessary for the establishment and sup
port Of public schools, and that for this reasonthe
execution Of some of his plans had been pospon-
cdn7 '.Bnt;" he added, considerations Of 4 char
acter contrary to those mentioned above strength
ened nv purpose to visit the more Western States
at this time, where system of public instruction
was already existing, and was at that very time
going into operation"
A particular account was given Of the conditions
on which appropriations we're made. In general,
it would appear that for every one Thousand dol
lars given from the Peabody fund.- about three
thousand dollars were raised By the people, bo-
Dides what they paid for school houses. Some fur
th.r conditions we're generally made, such as in
creasinr the number of teachers, and prolonging
the schools to period of ten months instead Of
four, fire. or six months
On motion of Mr.. Evarts, it was voted that the
next meeting be held On the third Thursday of
January, 1870, and that thereafter that day shall
be the time of the annual meeting until otherwise
ordered. -.
On motion of Gen. Grant, it was
Re,olrcd, That in token Of our grateful remem'
brance of the founder of this trust, copy OF the
proceedings of this meeting, signed by the chair
man and secretary, be transmitted 10 hm' win 'He
respects of this board.
Resolutions were adopted recognizing The Wis
dom, fidelity, and diligence which have marked
the course Of the general agent in his aPpropria;
lion of the means committed to his care and direc-
tion. The Board then adjourned.

THE. VIRGINIA CONSTITUTION.

We have already noticed the change of tactics
among the conservative politicians of Virginia, and
that All Influential and able committee were in
Washington, cndcavoring to effect some changes
and notifications in the proposed Constitution:
In the National IntclAgencer, We find lengthy and
able exposition of their views and purposes, con-
tained IN letter addressed to the Senate Judiciary
Committee. and submitting amendments 10 the
House bill, now under consideration ofthe Senate
committee, providing for an election in Virginia
This letter is written on behalf Of the delegation
and il accordance with the request of the Scnate
committee. They propose 10 modify the constItll-
tion t, such an extent as they believe would be
accsp ed BY the people Of Virginia. In connection
with shich, they say that The real feeling of the
ocopl. of the State is expressed when they declare
The belief that the freedmen of the South, in their
present uneducacd condition, are not prepared for
an intelligent use ofihe elective franchise, &c, yet
in view of the public opinion expressed in the re-
cent elcclion, they believe that the majority of the
people are willing to incorporate universal suffrage
in their fundamental aw offering mn altar OF
peace ami hoping for n restoration OF the Union
with harmony on the basis Of universal suffrage
and universal amnesty, and considering that the
policy of the government requires from Virginia
constitutional recognition of the civil and political
equality OF all men before the law. They have in
the amendment. proposed inserted al! the rrovis-
ions looking to that result hcre oOrc deemed proper
by Congress, and have left untouched any pro-
visions of the constitution relative to the subject
