For the Spectator.

The subjoined communication eminating as
it does, from highly respectable gentleman, a
native of an adjoining county, but for many
years resident in one of the Northwestern
States, as tribute of respect to the memory OF
one of our representative men, is no less hon.
orable to the living. The encomium paid to
the County Court system of Virginia, which
alas for US will soon be numbered among the
defunct systems of the past, is no less true
than well deserved.
The Court sympathised fully In the wishes of
the gentleman who submitted the paper, but
deemed it best to await the assembling of a
full bench of the justices, if such an opportu-
nifty shall ever be again experienced, when be-
yond doubt his object will be attained, in pro-
curing the portrait
To the WorshipfM Justices Of the County Court
Of augusta County,:
Having received my earliest impression Of
the true dignity, and high mission of all Amer
lean lawyer, and an American Court by OBJ
servation of your Court, and having since, en-
joyed somewhat extended and diversified ac-
quaintance, with professional bodies and courts
of law, and being Of the settled opinion and
conviction, that through that long series of
years the County Court of Augusta, has been
among the most sure fountains of pure justice
the most orderly dIgnlhed and commanding IN
the exercise Of its legitimate functions assisted
by bar of the most learned, able, eloquent
and high toned, and having been long i'm
pressed with the belief that James Bell dec d. ,
presented the most marked points of repre-
sentative man, of that noble array OF unpro~
fessional justices, of this Court, and has per-
haps left the most mark impress, upon this
Court by the sound judgment, with which he
discerned the right, the lofty, unfaltering cour-
age with which he sustained it, and the kind,
open, frank, manner, of all his intercourse with
all the people, beg to submit to the Court,
the propriety of procuring at the public ex-
pense, a well executed likeness of him, to be
hung in the Court room, as a memento of the
past and high incentive to all future occu-
pants of his honored position

The rumor that Napoleon will abdicate IN
favor of his son, although it has appeared III
several shapes, and follows the announcement
that the Prince Imperial will be deciaieu oi
age, has still no confirmation. IL may nave
added to some of the Emperors groans 70
think that such stories have any element OF
plausbility; but yesterday his Majesty appeared
in the streets of Paris, and, for aught we know
NAV be able to smile at the rumor when
anticipates his death and bures HIM awe as
President of a Council to his son. Prince
Napoleon, after having wrought mischief upon
the Empire in his late speech, has, according 10
an eccentric habit left the crisis to ltself' ana
gone Yachting. One consequence, if not effect
of his speech is the demand made by deputy
that the Corps Legislatif shall meet OF us own
will at the legally appointed time, IN case IL Is
not called-a demand extraordinary, in view OF
the existing imperial facilities for proroguing'
Although but the motion of one man. IL Is hote-
worthy as threat of revolution.

that cultivated portion of the Province vi
cours.. the Brunswickers will try to get away
from the sting of this rebuke by pretending
that tbe royal visitor referred to the condl-
tion of the soil but that is all non

of tie observation, and, we trust, will be LED
Thereby to moderate the boisterousneSs OF their
loyaty. But if the young gentleman shOulu
chance to visit certain regions OF the Uniteu
Stats. we fear he will need something more
powerful than satire to protect him. Ills auVeh-
turea and those of his companions, at wood
stocl were like dreams on beds of roses com
pared with those which befell the Prince oil
Wahs's marty on their landing at Detroit. Here,
raging curiosity was in no degree tempered by
loyd reserve. and Albert-Edward was forced to
RIM n gauntlet, all alone, from the steamboat
landing TO his hotel where he arrived In SIN
gnlr and most unprincely disarray; his faithful
folbwer the good old Earl of st. Germans, had
his hat Knocked over his venerable nose before
he ,ould reach his carriage; and MIR. Penne-
fetier, an estmabe young member OF the SUITE
wh never did anybody any harm, was actually
cavsized into the river. 1t is all very well to
say that people should not put theli trust IN
prices; but there are occasions when princes
shalld not put too much trust In people-at
lest, the people of. as Mr.. Roebuck would say
"a certain free Republic"

No one can help admirng the happy appro-
prateness of certain selections in MIR. 5. ).
Cox's serenade, last Thursday night That the
bold Democracy should recognize the applica
ton of the Coronation March," symbolizing,
as it did, Mr. Cox's recent monarchcal expe-
riences, was hardly to be expected although
the significance of Home Again" was I'M
doubtedly plain enough even to their appreci-
alton. But when, on receiving the invitation
to walk in and drink to mutual good will. y
their ears were saluted with such bibulously
suggestive strains AS "When the Swallows
a" Homeward Fly" and Coming through the
Rye" their excitement must have pass ed a
bounds Whoever arranged this detail of the
festivities deserves infinite credit for his
aptitude and ingenuity.

Spain is said to be on the eve of issuing a
proclamation guaranteeing religious and cleo
tOral freedom, and another summoning depu-
ties from Cuba to the Cortes-for what reason
we cannot see. Freedom to worship and lib
erty of voting have both been decreed by the
new Spanish Constitution. If we are to I'M
derstand that they are now to be administered
to Cuba and Porto Rico, they are manifestly
irrelevant and supernuous, and year be-
hind time. Then it is cruel and feeble
Jest for Spain to summon deputies
where she cannot hold decent elections, OF to
order elections where she cannot get any but
Spanish deputies. Perhaps her best plan would
be to appoint the deputies from Cuba out of
the swarm of officials in Madrid, practice not
inconsistent with the existing law of elections
for her colonies. . % 1JITH

Mr. George Potter. delegate TO a recent Trades
Union Congress at Birmingham, England, has
been telling some very homely truth TO his
brother workmen. He informs them that Alco-
holc Drinks are costing the British Laboring
Class several hundreds of millions of dollars
per annum, and that il is nonsense to talk OF
eevating or improving the position OF that
class so long as third of their earnings-which
is nearly the whole of what might and should
be their savings-goes straight into the till of
the gin-shop and porter-house so fast as they
earn it, and is often due there before they
earn it. This is as true as the Multiplication
Table, and the very truth that needs to be
squarely considered. Steady work and good
wages are excellent; but, if the workman
drinks all his surplus earnings, what do they
amount to at lasts The Distiller the Brewer,
the Liquor Merchant, the Retailer, may pos
sbly save and thrive, but the workman Is
making a Decline for the alms-house, where
disease, decrepitude, or paralysis, must soon
land him. There is no possible future for a
beery, bOated whisky soaking mechanic or ar
tisan; he is going straight to perdition, and
Trades Unions can't save him. We trust Mr..
Potter may command attention.

September, or nearly twice as much as the re-

we shall have to report on the LIST of next
month a diminution of our national indebted

office. This is brave work, and the charm of
it is that it goes on so steadily. Meanwhile Mr..
