New YORK JUDGEs.-The corruption that
is all powerful in New York city does not spare
its judiciary. In recent case there before
Judge Cardozo, the fact was developed that il
is common practice with Judges to carry mo-
lions, unheard, from chambers into circuit or
special terms, for the purpose OF maintaining
control OF matters throughout. In the same
case it appeared that the Judge had given no
tice to member of the bar that il he under
took the case for the defendants he must never
expect any more favors in that Court, and that
this also is not an uncommon popularity OF New
York Judges. The Times says says that it is a
frequent saying, Take your case into Smith 5
Court aud engage Jones for your counsel, and
you will be sure to win. The converse, that
some lawyers are incapable OF gaining cases
before certain Judges, is no less true. 1t is
stated that tae late James T. Brady, having
once incurred the personal ilwil OF a certain
Judge vas never afterwards able TO gain a
cause before him, and was obliged to abandon
practice in his Court and that more than 4
score Of first class lawyers have lately with
drawn from the profession rather than yield TO
the often infamous conditions imposed by
Judges - Bait American.

AGRICULTURAL EXCHANGES.

We are glad to note the improved appearance of
the Farm and Garden, published at Clinton, S. c.,
by JAS. r. JACOBS g. Co., at One Dollar per annum.
The low price and excellence of this publication,
in connection with the fact that there is no ether
agricultural paper in this State, comnends it to
the favorable consideration of the farming eommu-
nifty. Send for specimen copy.
american Agr,calturist for February ranks with
its predecessors for useful aud practical informa-
ton. Each number contains several fine engrav-
ings, executed in The best maner. The subscrip-
ton price, only s1.50 year, places it within the
reach of all. Published by ORANGE JupD Co,

GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION.

A fun attendance of members at the meeting
held in Atlanta last week shows that our neighbors
are wide-awake and in earnest respecting the de-
velopment of their resources as q people. Great
harmony prevailed, and the Convention adjourned
upon the second day. with considerable enthusiasm
among the delegates. Among the resolutions
adopted, we observe the following: Resolution in
yiting, Northern capitalists, farmers, merchants,
asd manufacturers to come South, and denying ru-
mors of lawlessness and disorder; standing wages
were decided to be the best mode of hiring labor;
committee appointed to inquire into the subject of
cheap nanures, the chances Of cheapening Peruvi-
an Guano, ani if deemed best to memoralize the
Legislature, invoking State aid in furtherance of
these obje.ss. Gel. BEN. YANcEY was elected

late the people on this side of the Savannah, and
every exertien made to further the enterprise.

, ,rHE LEGISLATURE.

So little has been accomplished in the way of
permanent legislation that we have refrained from
occupying our limited space with the reported pro-
ceedipgs ,as published in the daily papers, and for
the additional reason that these reports stale,
fat and Improbable" We prefer to await the
publication of acts duly ratified, and which may
possess general interest Among the work already
completed, we note the following most impor-
tant ::
Joint, Resolution authorizing the Governor to
employ an armed force fer the preservation of the
peace and m Act to alter and amend the criminal
laws of this State.
The join. resolution is already familiar to our
readers, and authorizes the Governor to exercise
large discretion in arming body of men to pro
,eet the so-called 'loya element against imagina,
~ foes The Act to "alter and amend the criminal
law abolishes capital punishment, except in cases
of wilful murder. Rape, burglary, and arson,
and other crimes heretofore punished by hanging,
are in future rewarded with Imprisonment and
hard labor in the Penitentiary for term Of years
ranging from one to thirty. These and other
measures will be published when We can procure
correct copies.

= The negroes in Washington, on being refused
chance to participate in the Inauguration ball,
have decided not to attend as walters, and to get
up ball of their own which. they are assured,

they would not attend the ball of the white folks,
so many of the white women there invited being
other than respectable.
