saw has met with such universal denuDcia-
ton. and been received in the Senate with
such proresnd Indifference, that even Moa.
TON Nknewst that it is'borelessly dead.
But the rindemitable party manager dies
.saule. He proposes another scheme. AloR-
.yos is 80 prone to party trick for party
benefit that everything he proposes is at
once suspected as sinister and dishonest.
TEs. profession of a'idesire to avoid trouble
and strife by the amendment be first offered
was tresesd with contempt. He having an
object to carry out introduces an oNec-
tiouable bill. This provides that no vote for
president shall be excluded except by the
concurrence Of both houses of Congress- AT
oslce people see the--eat in this meal.tub-it
MS to force upon Congress the amended're-
turns Of the southern Radical returning
boards.
MIR. MoRToN will hardly get through ehher
constitutional amendment or bill at the
present session. Even good thing stands
no chance roming from the hands of a petit
oahlmonster such as MnnToN, who never best
tatts to- violate the Constitution wheneveran
orshcr ftom, GRANT or the advantage Of the
Radical party requires it.

-iine, three weeks for mischief; but that is
a short time' Cor the Radicals to carry out
their schemes. They hare much to do.
They will, however, hare the consolation
impaired by .Gcneral GIANTS assurance
that he will do the work that they may lease
undope. We tcust the party will show its
hand fully before the Adjournment. 1t will
be T. good thing for the people to know TO
what llengths the war party&s disposed to 90

are as bold us they are sordid and vicious
there will be yet much TO startlc the people
Of the United Seues.
Senator MORTON is ripe for anything ; but
he no doubt fears that his more ecorouS and
fastidious .ce-laberr will not b. quite up to
the high.water Be.rk of Radical necessity.
The extremists fear or Eat hesftapey amongst
abe better men who are called Republicans.
There is trouble liz the wiggan. But as
we said in the beginning, the ultras can still
rely on GRANT. Indeed, he is aAo1t all the
reliance of the parry low. keihing but
force can drag them out Of the slough, and
GrrANT is that force. Let us hope that the

We are glad to see it stated by authority
that there we're but twenty-five men present
at the so.called "pubIic meeting" held at
Spotsylvania Courthouse on Monday the lst
instant, by which the position of Mfr. j. II.
Lacy on the public debt question was re-
ported to have been endorsed. Not even all
of these eitizens-presumably Of all classes,
colors, and politcs-were in favor of the re-
solution approving the legislative course and
arowed reputation principles of that gem
tleman. We repeat, we are gralitied by this
information. Ii we believed in truth that
any considerable number of the people OF
Virginia were in favor Of the dark doctrine
Of reputation we should advocate with un-
usual yigor the question of new lunatIc asy-
lums, not to. speak of other public insttu'
tons, for the fit accommodation OF such per-
Petersburg appeal.

THE CIRCUIT AND COUNTY COURTs.-ltr from
the CuIpeper Times The great decrease or
the business throughout the State not only
forbids any increase of single judge, but
calls aloud for reduction, If constitutional
and proper. So great has been the falling OF
in the legal business OF the county that the
Legislature is about to reduce the number
of the sessions of the terms from three to two
sessions, and but for constitutional provl-
sion would no doubt reduce their salaries, as
they seem determined to cut down all Off
GERS, especially the most important, always
Saving and excepting themselves. refer
ence to the reports Of the clerks OF the differ
ent courts OF the State will show that Six
eighths of all the judges of the State enjoy
from five to seven months holtddy-that Is
to say, that of the sixteen judges OF The State
Twelve out of the sixteen are not in session
for from five to seven months in the year!
Doubtless much business is done in cham
berS, for which they must have credit. The
purpose of this article is not TO suggest re-
duction of their compensation, for reilly DO
believe in the converse OF The old saw "poor
pay, poor PREACH" 10 every vocation Of life.
but to show the great improperly of any at
tempt 10 increase the nunber of judges.
Ard when it is suggested that that increased
number is to be made up of members of the
Legislature who probably proposed, advo.
Gated, brought in, and voted for the bill, it
would most emphatically be "scdnaal
and a shame" upon them and all who vote
and cooperate wtth them. | trust, for the
sake of decency and honor, this will never
take place.
In conclusion allow me to suggest that the
Legislature should give all criminal jurisdic-
ton exclusively TO the county courts, With
right of appeal, Of course, and power, as
heretofore, to impannel grand juries, and
you will see in very short time the crimi-
nal expenses Of the State greatly diminished
instead of being increased by thousands, as
the Auditors last report shows has been the
case under the present. system.
