Of the many individuals who are willing to sac
rifce themselves for the sake Of serving the
county for the next three or four years, but
the agony is over and Jnce more local excite

in eliciting an expression OF the will OF the peo-
pie. Prince William has about one thousand
Conservatives, but at the election, held on the
second Saturday in this month, only about pine
hundred and fifty votes we're cast, and as tar as
your correspondent can learn. all the candidates,
both victors and vanquished, were satisfied,
with the exception of one of the nominees who
has raised the black flag and decrles all who
voted for bis oppoheuts, and procalms them as
euemies to himself and the public.
Our Circuit Court convened on the 10th.
There were no criminals to be tried. The grand
jury found a true bill against r. g. Troth, COL
ored, Tor an attempt to buro the barn of VIM.

County Court tor trial, the law providing that
misdemeanors shall be tried in the County
Court. On the cbancery side of the court
large plumber of DEGREES we're entered and some
cases disposed of finally. On the common law
side more issues we're decided than at aoy pre-
vious term of the court for several years past

WEDNESDAY, MAY 10.

In the French Assembly yesterday, bills were
introduced defining the relations between the
public powers and regulating the organization
of the Senate. The former provided that the
Senate and Chamber Of Deputies should meet
ANNUALLY in January, and sit at least five months
in the year. The President of the Republic
was allowed to communicate with the Chambers
by message, and the latter were obliged to re-
consider any decision if the President should
make the request. The President aud Minis
tiers could be iupeached only by the Chamber
of Deputies, and were to be tried by the Senate
The bill for the organization of the Senate pro-
yided that the election should be by decree,
which was to be issued six moaths before the
day appointed. Minister Dufarve, moved that
they be referred to the Committee OF Thirty.
The Left opposed the motion, and 1t was de-
feated, whercupon NJ. Bathic announced the
resignation of the Committee of Thirty, which
was promptly objected 10 by other members OF
the committee, who announced it as irregular.
The failure of NJ. Dufavre's motion was not re-
garded as defeat Of the Ministry.
