JUDGE BoNHAM.

Hon B. F. Bonham, Judge of the
Third Judicial District, donned the
ermine and took his seat upon the
Bench for the first time on Monday
of this week, in this city. Upon as
suming the responsible duties of his
position he delivered a neat little ad-
dress TO the members of the Bar who
were present, asking their assistance
and cooperation in successfully and
speedily conducting affairs, coming
before his Court and urging upon them
the practice of those amenities and
courtesies toward him and toward
each other which add so much to the
profession and conduce to the profit
and pleasure of all concerned. He
alluded in modest terms to his lack of
judicial experience and asked from
gentlemen that forbearance and charity
which all of them would desire under
like circumstances. His remarks
were received in the spirit in which
they were intended, and he proceeded
with the business of the Court with
dignity and selfpossession which
argues we'll for his future success and
popularity. Seldom has the judicial
ermine fallen upon atruer shoulders or
covered an honester heart than B. I.
I lBonham's.

GOOD FOR ILLINOIS.

The Democratic State Convention
of Illionis was held the first of the
present month, and true to their
Democratic instincts they declared
that "the Democratic party has no
departure to take, being always sup
porters of the Constitution, and be-
lieving now, as they always have, that
it should be obeycd."
This. declaration has the ring of the
true metal and is sentiment to which
all true American citizens can cheer
fully subscribe. 1t is no new depart
ure for the party who made the Con-
stitution to assert their fealty to it
and to pledge hearty support to its
fundamental measures. Democrats
will never lose their identity as true
patriots and strict partizans so long as
they continue to- stand by the Consti-
tuition and uphold the legally adopted
measures of that sacred instrument.
Illinois has the champion Democratic
platform of 1871.

The New York UcralI's special
from Columbia, South Carolina, states
that information has been received
from the Committee of Spartansburg
and Chester saying that great excite
ment prevails, owing to summary pro-
ceedings OF the U. s. Marshal and
troops. Forty-four citizens had been
arrested and put in a Jail already full
Of negroes. Several hundred citizens
have deserted their homes in coDse-
quence of the wholesale arrests, and
haye sought refuge in the woods un-
til an opportunity presents itself of
seeking safety elsewhere. A reign of
terror exists in that entire section Of
the State. Depredations are being
committed on property Of citizens by
negroes and evil disposed persons
A fight il said to have taken place at
Broad river between q band Of Ku
Klux and United States troops, and
the conflict Is said to have been severe.
Reinforcement have been called for.

Advices from South Carolina say
women and children are the heaviest
sufferers by martial law. Whole fam
lilies are fleeing from Spartansburg
and Union counties. Citizens are
lodged in Jail at Yorkville.. Private
societies are advising citizens to fly to
avoid arrest.

TEXAS HEARD FROM.

The Texas election occurred some
weeks ago and the reason why the tele-
graph never mentioned that event
is now explained It goes Democratic
on the State vote by 10000 majority
and the Democrats elect all four OF
the Congressman. When we reflect
that in 1850 Texas went Radical By
IL 900 majority the resent status OF
political affairs in that State are de-
eidedly cheering. A gain of over
forty thousand votes in two years
shows a tolerably healthy condition
of affairs for the Democracy of the
" Lone Star State" Texas had no
voice in the last Presidential election,
but will add her electoral vote to the
Democratic column next year.

THE Atlanta San says: Perhaps
never before, in the history of Ameri-
can politics, did two such disorderly
conventions assemble upon one day
as the Republican State Conventions
of New York and Massachusetts,
In New York the police had to be
called to the platform to preserve or
der, while in Massachusetts, the
body seems to have resolved into {
mob. These are two admirable in
stances of the excellent harmony {?
that exists in the Radical party

THAT HONEST ADMINISTRATION. "
Radical stealings which have been
unearthed within the last month, are
as follows:
Major Chas. Thomas, Z. S. Quar-
termastcr, $4,000.
Major Hodge, paymaster of the L.
S. army, 100000.
Norton, cashier of the New York
post Office, s115,O00.
F. N. Lamper, Receiver of the Z.
S. Land Office, Washington Territory
and second cousin of U. S. Grant,
100000.
Semmes, postmaster st Atlanta, Ga.
$4,000.
Here are $4,000 of stealings from
the public treasury that has been
brought to light within the last four
weeks.
Besides the persons above named
the books of the Radical postmaster
at Hartford, Conn, show him to be a
defaulter to a large amount, but ex.
actly how much, has not yet been as
certained.
This is pretty good showing fol
an honest administration"

THE official returns show that
s260,O00,0O0 in gold was collected at
the United States Custom Houses
for the year ending the Both of June,
1871. This is equal to about $685.
100000 in legal tenders. The whole
amount of our foreign imports upon
which this enormous sum was levied
is only s400, 100000. In other words,
for every four dollars of goods that
the people buy of the world the
Government collects two dollars. Is
not this monstrous and outrageous p
Let the farmer and the mechanic re-
member When they go to store and
purchase four dollars worth o1
goods, that they are required to hand
oxer two dollars for the use of the
National Treasury. Tn this way they
can judge of the amount of their taxa
