An UnluckY DaY.

Why is it that the Legislature always selects
Friday on which to fill vacancies in the judi
ciary? Our lawmakers must certainly know
that it is regarded as an unlucky day. and one
on which ancient mariners invariably refused
to sail out of port. Besides, it is generally set
apart as hangmans day, and there is no use
in rendering the judiciary uncomfortable by
linking the beginning of an official career with
an unpropitious and suggestive time. We
protest against the usage, and insist that some
other day of the week be designated ON which
to launch the next barque on the judicial sen.
The mortality among the judges is sufficient to
appal ordinary individuals, without adding the
bad omen of Friday.

The time for final adjournment has not been

the business will be completed by the lst OF

tracted beyond that date.
A bill to regulate the sale of seed cotton IN
Anderson County has been passed to third
reading in the Senate. This bill makes it un-
lawful for any person to buy seed cotton in An

namely, the traffic in stolen cotton.

Chance Of Schedule.

The change of schelaie on the South Carroll
ma and GreesviFfs Railroads, which went into
effect last week, enables q person TO leave An
derson at $40 in the morning and arrive in
Charleston at 1145 at night. This is approx
imatiug the schedule in effect before the war;
and will prove great convenience to the trav-
cling public, as close connections are made with
other railroads for distant points. 1t is now in
order for the schedule to be arranged from
Charleston, so that the train leaving that city
at daylight will bring passenger to the p-coun-
try the same day or night. By this arrange
ment, the merchants and business men of. the
up-country could visit Charleston and return
home within three days, spending an entire day
in che city, which is nothing wonderful to ac-
eomplish, in our opinion, but which woe'ld re-
dound greatly to the advantage of cur eommer-
ciai metropolis, since ten trips would be made
where one is now made, under the slow and
provoking schedule cf the night trains. Our
friends of the Ne,os and Courier ought to make
vigorous efforts to bring about this result, as it
would not only facilitate travel, and increase
the business relations Of Charleston, but would
certainly add rapidly 20 the subscription list of
certain daily newspaper, which would reach
subscribers the day it is published, instead of the
day afterwards.

The New jury Commissioner.

Gov. Chamberlain has been exceedingly un'
fortunate in the selection of Jury Commits
siones for Anderson County, in failing to give
satisfaction TO- large body of our citizens.
We are informed that the Governor has stated
that be was aware the appointment was not
good one, but he was urged by Senator Coch-
ran, as personal favor, to make the appoint
ment, in spite of the protest of the three Rep
resentatives, whose opinions were sought by
the Governor. As Senator Cochran was elected
by the people of Anderson, without regard to
party lines, we are astonished that he has ez-
ercised his official influence to secure a per-
sonal favor at the hands Of the Governor, in
disappointment of a public officer, whose Sc
lection ought to be made on the ground Of tit
mess and capacity for the position.
