THE COUNTY CoURTs.-The authors OF
the movement cutting the County Courts
down to nothing, have shown their hands
and now want to increase the number OF
Circuit Judges, better places for ambitious
lawyers and members of the legislature
The Richmond Dispatch says:
| It is proposed in a bill pending in the
Legislature to add five new judicial dis
tricts, with five new judges at 1000 per
annum each: Estimating the saving in
the bill degrading the county courts at
5000 for each county judge, this bill will
absorb the amount thus saved in the salary
| OF fifty county judges--a very plain exposi-
sition Of the original purpose Of those who
proposed to destroy the county COURTS
Economy was one of the arguments used
by them; and now we see that argument
was mere delusion. The State is really
to save nothing, while the expenses Of
by curtailing the power of the county
courts, and reducing them to the condition

the Virginia Legislature can bring itself
to inflict SO great a wrong upon the people,
The county courts are cherished in their
hearts as the tribunals for the prompt adj
ministration of justice and the preserYa-
LlOn OF order ana Sa1cFy an the countless
The answer is that the old courts we're
courts held by magistrates whose dignity,
wisdom. and conservatism were ensured
by the manner OF their appointment and
the holding Of their offices for life. 1t is
true that this rendered them noble institu-
tions for the people. But since we can not
now have such magistrates, are not coun-
ty courts presided over by lawyers "learn-
ed in the law" the next thing to them,-
Would not the dignity and justice of the
county courts be well maintained by such
gentlemen Do lawyers distrust their own
class ? Do they distrust lawyers whom
they themselves choose to preside over
these courts Do they not think that those
courts would be improved by being ruled
by reliable lawyer judges instead Of magis-
trates Y
1t is not the fear that the courts with
such judges would not give satisfaction,

PUBLIC ScHooLs.-The last number of
the Staunton "Vinaieator - contains a
long and interesting account of the public
schools Of that city, and asserts that not
less than Twenty-Five fpnlilies have settled
in Staunton solely to secure the education
al advantages to be derived from the pub
lie schools. The same increase of popula-
ton might be counted here. if the people
of the town and the corporate authorities
could be aroused to such interest as would
lead to the organization and permanent
establishment OF first-rate graded schools.
Without undertaking the Importance of
railroad workshops, we humhly submit
that liberal annual appropriation to the
public schools, and the hearty cooperation
of the town with the school trustees in the
effort to establish creditable and efficient
series of schools for white and black, would
do as guch, if not far more. for the inn
proyement and prosperity Of Charlottes-
vile, as will accrue to the town from their
liberal donation to railroads. But it is no
use to pour water on ducks back. The
city doctors will treat their debilitatea pa

rial quack ventures a suggestion they only

ROGER A. PRYOR.

The New York ''Sun'' gives a pen and
ink sketch of the Virginia orator, Roger
A. Pryor, who is of the counsel for Theo-
| dore Tilton in the famous Beecher scan
dal suit, now in progress in New York. The
Sun says:
''The engagement Of an old-time South
ern fire-eater as counsel for a former ac
tive abolitionist is the odd point in Gen.
Roger A. Pryor being one of Mr.. Tilton's
legal party. Mr.. Pryor is Il typical man
thin, tall, nervously aggressive and hot
blooded. With irregular features, long,
stiff black hair, and large piercing eyes, he
IS the singular component of che party
His oratofy, as shown in an argument be-
fore the actual commencement of the trial
is of the John Randolph sort-fery, bitter,
and ambitious, He wears SLOUGH hat
and cloak, in which guise he is the ideal
OF Southerner with duelistic inclining. In
courtroom demeanor he is the most court
Gus Of them all, and the most open in his
partizanship. He has nothing to saw at
this stage of the trial. except in the way of
whispered conference. He sits at MI. Til.
toms side, with his under lip pretruded in
an almost grotesque way, his forehead
wrinkled into a frown, and his flushed face
expressive of the acme of combative-
ness"

BEECHER ON TROUBLE.

In his Wednesday evening lecture, Mr..
Beecher said of trouble

here who has lived for sixty years, and

thirty years ago can scarcely remember
them. A boy might as well 60 down to
