Judge Shaw is holding court at Sum
ter At the opening of the term, he de-
iivered strong md impressive charge
to the grand jury, urging upon them the
proper discharge of the high and i'm
portant functions which devolve upon
them. 1t was their province and pecu-
liarly their duty to bring md present to
the court all violations of law which, in
their Judgment, were of consequence, to-
gether with the names of witnesses. He
discussed several other subjects of inte-
rest. The Hatchnan expresses itself Us
much pleased with the tone and spirit of
the Judges charge. He presides with
dignity, courtesy and ability, and has
evidently made fine impression.

believing, and having good grounds fol
our belief, We distrust, IN toto, the
statement TINT any good citizens OF
the up-country demand troops to be sent
amongst them. There is not q bit of truth
IN it, from beginning to end. In the close
of the article to which we have referred,
the difficulties of the Collector in arrest
ing whiskey peddlers arc presented in n
,piteous and rather ludicrous style. IA
revenue officer would be extremely fool
hardy to attempt, unnssistcd, to arrest
one of these traders while pursuing his
vocation" s'The revenue official must
go alone, or, at best, is only nccompa-
MED by civil officer, whose heart is in
anything else but the work in which he
is engaged" This is melancholy, and
reminds one of the pursuit of knowledge
under difficulties. But as there is no
roynl road to learning, 10 there is, no
primrose path to the Revenue Collector
In the collection of tax. He must en-
counter it's labors and troubles and face
its dangers, oheered by the hope of his
reward, the olink of gold, and the smile
of his patrons. But let him not surround
himself with guards and household
troops, if he expects to be agreeably re-
ceived. AS long rs he is civil to the people,
they will treat him civilly in return. 1t
liz poor way of introducing ones self
to the discharge Of duties of this kind,
or of any kind, to berate them and show
desire to use force against them. Let
the Collector be satisfied with the rebuff
already received, and let him address
himself in earnest to the discharge of the
duties of his office, and cease to impor-
tune his superior officers for what he
does not need, and could not handle
wisely.

everything seems to be directed toward
one man. You have Allen, and Thur
man, and Pendleton up there in Ohio,
and Hendricks in Indiana. Hendricks
