THE "ECONOMY" OF THE CIR
QUIT COURT SYSTEM

The economy of the cutting down of the
County Courts was the main reliance OF
it's advocates when the change was made.
How little they knew Of the economy OF
the matter, and how they looked alto
gether to the Spite and not atall to the
bunghoIe. may be seen from the cost OF
keeping prisoners i'll Jail between terms.
We iind by the records that the amount
paid by Augusta county for the support OF
prisoners for the is months previous to
the cutting down of the County Courts
was S843 Is, while the cost for the Is
months ufte, the cutting down was 81 1882 50
Just 81, 139. 40 more. AS all the counties
make the same complaint OF prisoners de-
tanned in Jail by the new Circuit Court
arrangement, we may reasonably set down
that since the new system went into opera
zion the people OF the State have paid
$lOO, 900 more than they paid before, though
doubtless it is more. for the jails OF East
Virginia are generally fuller than those of
the Western part Of the State. 100000
lost in Is months: 1t saems to US that
such figures as these should call npon legls-
qat0rs to retrace their steps. They have
ehirty days to do it in, so there can be no
excuse to complaining constituents OF
want of time The extrayagant change
was made against the interest OF the PEG
Die on the plea Of economy. Now that
the mistake is made plain, is it not the
part of good judgment to Feetify it

THE Spring STYLEs.-The New York
"World" of Friday closes an account of
the first spring opening of millinery goods
at A. T. Stewart & Co.'s with the follow
ing statement, which will interest the la
dies ifs
Generalizing out of this large selection
there are few decided points which set at
rest the rumors of fashion already afioat.
First, flowers enter more largely than ever
into the trimmings, being used with the
scarfs, which are very popular, gros grain
and the new hrocade ribbons. Long stream
ers behind will be much worn and all trim
ming is seen masSed on top and in the fronts
of the hats, rather than behind or on the
sides. Feathers are not much used with
flowers. .s (.

THE END.

We can heartily congratulate our readers
this morning that Congress adjourned YES
terday and, that for many years to come
they are safe from legislation inimical to
tho whole. country and particularly to the
South. The Force bill, that iniquity
which was intended to give the Republican
party the control of the 1873 electoral votes
Of the Southern States in the next Presi-
Dental election, and which was passed by
the House was not taken up by the Senate,
which adjourned yesterday at noon.
Thus ends the power of party which
for fourteen years has held the govern
ment Of the United States And now
what has it done with the best opportunity
for doing good that party ever had in this
country? They have managed the inanr
ces Of the country so as to make it neces-
sary this year, the last Of their power, to
increase taxation forty millions of dollars
With promises Of giving the country peace
it has utterly failed, and had it remained
in power there is little doubt the Ameri-
can Union would have drifted into state
of anarchy With a show to have re-
tanned the government for life
time it has been repudiated by the
people North and South with una
nimity which is startling, and the
last session has been spent by a congress
which represented nobody, fegislating in
the interest of party which no longer ex-
listed. It's end reminds one of the demon
alization of routed camp: each man for
himself In the confusion of their flight
they disregard even the voice of their lead
er. Grant sent in message asking them to
recognize Brooks as Governor of Arkan-
sas, which the House refused to do by
vote of 100 to SO and then went farther and
disapproved of any Federal interference
in that State, by vote Of 149 to S2-a stun
ming blow to the Commander in-chief And
yet two nights before, they passed the
sented to the representative body
of free government. They passed
the Civil Rights bill to vex and worry the
Southern States into disorder, and yet cut
out of it the mixed school feature, which
was what the negroes chiefly wanted and
They seemed bent in their madness on
destroying themselves, both at the North
and South While refusing to seat Pinch
back in the Senate, yet another branch of
their party in the House endorsed Kellogg,
but gave Grant a blow by recommending
the reseating Of the Democratic members
of the louisiana legislature who were ex-
PEELED by Grants soldiers. Altogether it
has been wild legislative orgie for the
last month, and we may all be thankful it
has ended no worse for the country.
But though Radical legislation is ended.
Radical rule is not. A man with little
Judgment and less scruple is left stranded
IN the White House, his party washed
AWAY. and himself left with only a little
following of reckless political friends who
are in as bad plight as himself. The ma
ton will not breathe free until the tidal
wave' reaches him in rs and sweeps him
into obscurity. To-day he sits in the
Presidents chair sullen and friendless,
without party and almost without
country. The most that is in him is the
mischief he may do, and we must trust to
luck that that will be little.

FDR SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.


The Young Mems Christian Association
PRAYER Meetings are in full blast. The
name sounds a little dry and prim, doesn't
it? but the meetings are not the least SO.
They are conducted just in the right way
to appeal to the people they want to bene-
fit There is no boring about them. First
the singing is sweet and good to hear. The
drawing old church hymns-fOr writing
the music to which the composers should
have suffered death-are discarded, and
the music is as sweet and fresh and NOV
ing as the little hymns sung by Sunday
school children. which never chill the
heart. And the singing is by male voices,
and good ones at that. Then the addresses
are short and to the purpose, and, barring
the occasional lngging in Of hackneyed
Bible quotations, which unluckily every
other man who rises in a religious meeting
feels himself obligated to use, are unaf-
fected. Then the prayers are genuine,
earnest, and above all, short. Some men
in Stanton are hearing those prayers
Sunday afternoons who havn't heard
prayers before for twenty years, and who
wouldn't hear them for twenty years more
if they were long ones. The conductors Of
the meetings have wisely Invested them, as
far as practicable, of all formality. They
are kindly, friendly sort of meetings, just
the thing to develope that hand-clasping
feeling of fellowship which exists Ill every
human heart, no matter how wicked the
wild blood that courses through it may be.
There ism i ''I'll teach you to be good, -
but ''Come now, we are all bad enough,
and We'll all try to be good together sort
OF feeling pervading these meetings. The
staid people attend them, and, we are glad
to SAY, the wild ones, too. Some Of the
visitors go there with the smell Of whisky
on their breath, and it's good sign, for
there is no place more likely to get the
whisky out of man S breath and his head
and heart too, than d good honest prayer
meeting held after the fashion of these. 1t
is sort of ante-room to a better life, the
first Enclosure near the pool of Sloan.
In this ante-room they have good insti-
tuition call silent prayer. In church
congregation you never feel quite sure of
your neighbor. He may be thinking of
business, or she may be peeping over the
pew back at her neighbours bonnet; but
when the people at these assemblies kneel
they mean something. 1t isn't dress pa
rade with them; they are not due there;
they lave dropped in either from curiosity,
or, as is often the case, because they have
nowhere else to go, and unexpectedly they
are turned on their knees and looking into
their own hearts. And it is III these still
solemn moments Of introspection that the
first faint tickings of d new life are often
heard.
Altogether, there is no place we can adj
wise those of our readers who wish to gra-
lily curiosity OF while away a dull hour OF
see what is proving SO interesting to 9th
ers tile managers want all of just these
kinds of people to come-to go to the
Young Mems Christian Association Prayer
Meetings Sunday afternoons.

Beecher has no data to go upon, and then
the household memory Of. this little lady is
at once applied. She no longer exchanges
public speech with Mr. Beecher in the
court room. Her little coterie is separated
from him by q lawyers table covered with
tin boxes OF documents, and there she sits
ensconced, watching Triton as he testifes,
but looking toward rather than at him.
Her eyes, winking rapidly, are directed
about at his feet. She wears a look of
what somebody called s'vigiiant demur-
rer," that is, denial on general principles
with keen outlook for denial in specials.
On the whole it is a winning face. which
grows upon spectators; its pain, modestv,
finish and intelligence giving a separate
character from that Of the surrounding
combatants and their seconds. AS con-
trasted with her husband, his height,
stride, legs and profile at first examination
appear to be the noble creatures, but he
is nearly all of one line.
His lair is sort of powered f1axen, with
out polish his eyes of a greenish gray,
with resolution but no twinkle in them.
In passion or earnestness, they vitrify, but
their ordinary hue is nearly that of a coup
lie Of headlights in North River trap
pavement. Tilton's exterior has immense
ly altered in the past year, The alteration
has been most rapid in the past three
months. No wonder, when his occupation,
as he has testified, has been for nearly a
whole year trying to live in the face of the
society around him. His life has run into
intelligence, like that of Ethan Brand,
who came back to his charcoal pit with the
secret OF the objectionable sin, and had
nothing else to do but to perish in the fire.
Mrs. Tilton has not lost color, blood or
flesh, in this long trial Of temperaments
and endurance. She has not been On the
rack of the witness stand like Tilton and has
been deferentially treated by everybody.
Hence she is generally good-natured'
THE OPENING FOR THE DEFENCE.
The first witness for Beecher was pecu-
liarly unlucky. His name was E. J.
Ovington and the N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser" says Of him
''Judge Fullertor's cross-examixation of
Mr.. Ovington developed the facts mat the
witness had been mistaken in nearly every
point made in his direct examination
Every time he confessed The had been mis-
taken'-which was very often-the audi
ence burst into laughter. The witness
was entangled in such a web Of difficulties
that four OF five times he contrad cted him
self fatty, and if it were not for the phra-
ses, Il must have been mistaken there, he
would have left the stand in sad plight. -

FATAL ACCIDENT.-Near the Relay
House, Saturday, an engine turned over,
catching Daniel L. Maloney, the fireman,
under it. He was to have been promoted
to the position Of engineer Monday and al
so to have been married that day. The
''Sun'; says:
The steam and scaldimg water poured
upon him, causing agoniZing pain and
peeling off the skin while he was held I'M
derneath the wrecked locomotive with one
limb mashed and broken. He remained in
this position, in the most terrible agony,
for an hour, his cries and groans being the
stimulus to extra efforts on the part of the
train wreckers who were trying to extricate
him. Powerful -jackscrews were placed I'M
der the locomotive, but the poor man was
in such position that he could not be re-
lieved until the engine was raised up al
most perpendicular. When the accident
occurred ne was outside the cab on what is
called the sideboard, cleaning the window.
As the engine overturned he was crashed
under the driving wheels The locality Of
the accident was near the Relay House
and during the time the men were at work
raising the locomotive several hundred per
sons witnessed the sight. About A. III .
the fireman was released and conveyed to
his boordinghouse. After hours Of the
most intense agony, at 2. M. the injured;
man died. In addition to the scalds and
broken leg, all his teeth were knocked out
and his body was very much bruised.

A ROMANTIC BUT TRUE SToRY.-In
1922, Joe Hodges and Parma Ashley, both
slaves, became husband and wife, in Nan
semond, their native county, according to
the custom prevailing among slaves at that
time In 1881, nine years after their
union, Joe was sold and taken to Georgia.
Parma bemoaned his absence for several
years, without hearing froln him land final
ly decided to take another husband, one
Farold Ball. She lived with him twelve
years and he died, leaving Parma a widow.
In 1866, after the close of She war, and the
slaves were freed, Joe, who had never for
gotten his first love, returned to Nanse-
mond in search Of his long lost wife, and
ascertained that she was in Richmond
He went to Richmond. found her, they

Nansemond, where they lived happily to-
