along Lafayette Square, he noticed .

the cause. He was told that the nsn

After breakfast he sent for the proper

during those few days of hot and dry
weather the cotton crops progressed
rapidly. Caterpiiiars have made

JUDGE ORsBoRN.-The announce
meut of Judge John Orsboin's uame,
as candidate tor reelection to the
jndgeship OF this district, was banded
in too late last week for. rs to make
any editorial comments upon it. When
we spoke of another gentleman for the
same position, we gave him the reputa
ton generally accorded to him, and
which no doubt, lac actually merits.
Of Judge Orsborn's qualifications or
the Office he holds and desires t. b
reelected To, We know but little per
sOnally, and have heard conflicting
opinions, from members of the bar
competent to Judge. That he is not
popular with a certain class in this
community is not to be wondered at
from his political opinion, aud how
much attention ought to he paid to
thai prejudiced dislike, may be esti,na-
ted By the undeniable fact, that an
other judge or exjudge who is now
one OF the political and social pets OF
the class we speak OF, was once even Il
better abused man, by them, than Judge
OrsbOrn himself is now.
We are well aware that nothing We
can write can affect the subject of our
article in any materia, way, to his add
vantage or disadvantage, but We are
one of those old fashioned sort, that al
ways speak well of the bridge that
carries safely over, and as we lived
very near Judge Orsborn for several
years before the war in the country,
and had good deal of intercourse with
him, we can safely say that we never
knew better neighbor, IA kinder mas
ter or a more correct man.

THE TWO CONVENTIONS.
