BARHwEIL.. August 25th.-Afiairs are get
Ting on more quietly in this section since the
Sleepy Hollow tragedy. People have apparent-
~ acoeptel that affair as the outpouring, by
proxy, of their own wrath. h
HIS Honor Judge Platt has the parties be-
fore MIN this week, at Blaokvile, where the
courts are now held for this county. The
parties, however, being all whites, and the
jury two-thrds blacks, it is not known whether
they will take much interest in the case, but
probtbly snooze. most comfortably during the
trial.
The lawyers are complaining that Of the
many criminal cases before the court, scarcely
one defendant has employed counsel. The
1uo8e. therefore, appoints member Of the
bar to conduct the case. and thus hid valuable
services will be obtained for nothing.
The Cops. which before the drought in June
and July we're the best ever made in this dis
tnct, have been seriously injured, especially
. corn. 1t is thought nov, since we' have had
rereshing rains, that three-fourths Of cotton
crop will be made, and probably two-thirds OF
corn crop. A few sections Of the county
have not suffered from drought, and there the
crops are very fine. Other parts where thew
were seven weeks without rain, there will be a,-
nast nothing made. ~ ~,
The removal Of the courthouse from this
place to BAckyille.. is the ,apsorbipg topic

on potn sides Of the question, who are ready at
any time t. prove that his side is right. The
