-- Ia recent issue, the Banner spreads
itself thusly, IN regard to the nanniaclu-
ring interests OF Bennington: We had
occasion TO be present at the paying Off
Of the hands in one Of the knitting mills,
the other day. They were paid their
monthly wages, IA men, and the amount
paid was a little over $4,000, amounting
annually to the sum of $4,000 paid for
labor alone, which SUN may, we suppose
be properly multiplied by four, making
S1l4, 900 paid annually 10 workmen by
the knitting mills in our village, to which
may be added the sum paid by them for
stock, COAL transportation aud other eX-
penses, and the reader will get an idea OF
the large amount of business transacted
by the knitting interest in our village.

The Senate OF our General Assembly has
before it bill to destroy tie efficiency of the
county courts. We believe that the Shenan-
doah Herald gives uttcrancc to the wish Of
the people i'll the following paragraphs:
"1'hc judiciary bill, after weeks Of labor
and cost Of thousands of dollars to the
State, llas been defeated, and we arc now
just where we were before The lie. isaturc
commenced tampcrins with tic courts.
While the experiment Of tho Legislature WAS
expensive the defeat Of the bill, we think
has saved the State thousands OF dollars, and
the people both money and Inconvenience.
The sentiments OF the people, as far rs we
can learn them, are favorable to the policy Of
making no changes in the present laws for
the reason that they fear that the LcSis!a-
ture, instead OF improving them, would
render them more burdcnSome. The wishes
Of the people can be summed up in a few
words: Make us few changes us possible,
pass the important bills at once. and adjourn
without unnecessary delay"
The county courts administer Justice
speedily. They empty the jails frequently.
They save much expense TO the State in this
way, but much more to the people, We cam
not and will not do without county courts.
Ii the present Legislature turns the judges
of them out of Office the next will take them
back and give them better pay.

negro in Fairfax county has rctiioncd
Congress to install him in the Office of clerk
of the County Court of that couHty. Mr..
PORTER presented lis petition. PORTER is Il
rare representative. He represents people
of color only. White men seem TO have 10
rights, no prcjudices, and no tastes which he
feels bound to respect.
The State journal deyotes III editorial,
conspicuously placed in lis columns, to this
petition, and uttcrs no word of dissent from
its prayer. Perhaps Congress will send UN-
DERwooD over into Fairfax county TO hold an
election Of clerk, as its committee has pro-
posed it shall send Judge WooDs TO Lonis-
ana TO hold elections In that State.
