With the end of the term of the present
venerable Judges of the Orphans Court
the people will lose the services of those
who have not only served them with rare
ability, impartiality and fidelity, but they
will part with men, some of whom have
passed the best years of their life in their
present position. That their ripe expert
ence and thorough knowledge of the
duties OF their place can be supplied by
their successors, or shortly when Others
may fill the place, we have but small hope.
Age and intirmity, which had overtaken
them in the public service alone prevent
ed the Democratic party from insisting
that they should again have accepted a
nomination at the hands of its Conven-
ton. But had this been done they would
have met the same fate as the rest of our
gallant nominees, for Radicalism is no
respecter of worth, intelligence and in
tegrity, whether it be found in the bright
promise of youth, the maturity of sturdy
manhood, or the venerableness of age,
which can point to long and well spent
life, without spot or stain. So it is now
that these gentlemen retire from the bench
they have graced, full of years and full of
honors-with no man to say aught against
judicial career.
Judge Dent is comparatively young in
the service, having been elected to his po-
sition first eight, subsequently tour years
ago. Judge Robert Digges, we believe,
was first appointed to the bench by Gov.
Ligon about two or three months before
the election of 1859, at which Judge
Digges was elected by the people and has
been continuously reelected ever since,
making his term of service sixteen years.
The Hon. Richard Barnes. the Chief Jus
tice, was first appointed to his present po-
sition by Gov. Grason in 1889 and served
until 1851-twelve years-when the new
Constitution, having been adopted, a gen
eral election of all officers took place. He
was candidate for the bench at this cleo
ton and remained in retirement for four
years. In 1856, however, he was elected
to his present position, and has there re-
manned in obedience to the popular will
repeatedly expressed at the ballot-box
ever since-making period of service of
thirty-two years. He was singularly suit
ed for his position, having been raised in
the Office of his father, who was Register
of Wills of the county, and afterwards
studied law. 1t is therefore not so re-
markable that with such advantages and
a mind naturally gifted and highly i'm
proved by EDUCATION, he should during
his long career have had but three appeals
from the Court over which he presided,
and in each instance the decision of the
Orphans Court was affirmed. We doubt
whether there is now living in the State
man so familiar with our testamentary
system as Judge Barnes. 1t is therefore
with unfeigned regret, in which we are
sure the mass of the people will join Us.
that we bid these faithful servants. fare
we'll! And as they advance in the down
ward path of life they will have the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that they will leave
to their children, even tho it be all they
have to leave them, the priceless heritage
of spotless name.

AT CON'S STATION.
Upon Very Accommodating Terms.

COX'S STATION is near the southern ter
minus of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad,
and is the point Mt which the passenger train
lies over at night and from which it starts in
the morning. There are two daily trains to
and from Baltimore and Washington. There
are Ticket Freight, Postotiice and Adams Ex-
press Offices already established at this Station
There is also a Hotel and Bar. Black smith and
WheeIwright Shops, and Carriage Factory. As
there is but one Store at this point il offers
unusual advantages to an cnterprising man,
who, in view OF the fact that the Stock can he
renewed daily from Baltimore or Washington,
can conduct \ good business with small capt.
tai. The business is about $50, 900 per annum,
well established and constantly increasing
Its location and health renders ii one of the best
Stands in the county.

The November Term of our Circuit
Court meets on Monday next. So far as
we can learn there is not much civil bust
ness for the action of the Court. II is
however believed that the criminal bust
ness will be quite large. There is one
murder case for trial, that of the negro
man Washington, who has been SO long
confined in jail. Court will certainly last
two weeks and most probably three, for
we have noticed that since we have had
three Judges on the bench our jury terms
invariably last three weeks-one for each
Judge.

These we believe to be the two great
agencies that are to revolutionize Southern
agriculture, and the one is the compile
ment of the other. Sheep will enable US
to grow clover, clover will help US to keep
our sheep in fine condition, and both to-
gether will work something almost like a
miracle on our wornout plantations. But
what about the dogs and the freedmen
we are asked by those who have lately
put this question to several extensive
wool growers in Abeville county, and the
reply 18th at with proper management
there is little or no danger Of loss from
either mutton-loving negroes or vicious
dogs. The sheep are penned at night and
during the day they run in their pastures
without being disturbed by anything. De
pend upon it, for large portion of our
middle and upper country, sheep and clo-
yer are the magic words of the new era OF

Fatal Calamity.
Mr.. James Raley, son ]. t. NJ. Raley,
ESQ.,, Register of Wills of St. Mary's coun-
ty, Md, met with an accident last Friday
evening, which, ere this, has proved fatal.
He was running race when his horse
threw him. As he fell, his foot caught in
the stirrup. dragging him for some dis
lance No bones were broken, but his
body was awfully bruised and lacerated.-
He never spoke after the accident. Dr..
VIM. H. Stone, of Baltimore, and DR.. a. j..
Spalding, of Leonardtown, were called in
to render him all necessary medical aid,
but they pronounced his case beyond all
professional skill. At last accounts he was
in dying condition. A peculiar sadness
is attached to this dreadful accident 1t
was the anniversary of the silver wedding
of his parents, and large party of inyit-
ed guests from Baltimore. had already as
sembled to participate in the festivities.
The house of rejoicing was turned into a
house of mourning. He was most ex-
emplary young man, occupied high social
position, and was beloved by all who
knew him.

CIRCULAR No. 2.-SERIES OF 1875.
STATE OF LOUISIANA. Auditors Office, !
New Orleans, May l3, 1875.
"EREWITH you will find a pamphlet
III copy OF the revenue laws now in force,
which mas been carefully compiled especially
for your guidance in enforcing rigid collec-
ton of the States revenue.
Carefully studied and enforced, you will
need little else to guide you i'll the proper
performance of your duties.
Act No. Z, extra session OF 1873, this day
approved, was, by it's title, intended to ap-
ply to overhowed lands only. You will,
however, receive taxes Oh all past years
assessments. without adding the twenty-five
per cent. per annum penalties, up to and in
cluding October 81. 1875, unless parties in
interest obtain an injunction against the OPP
erations of section three of said act, when
you will be advised by mail or telegraph, in
which case you will enforce collections with
penalties, as before the issue OF this circular.
Recordation and redemption fees, or court
costs. if any have accrued, must be collected
in all cases.
You will observe that this act, while it re-
mits the penalties, does in nowise postpone
the collection of taxes, and hence you are
expected to press the payment OF all delin-
q.leIt and the usual proportion OF current
taxes at once. Licenses now due must all be
paid, or proceedings instituted under the
provisions of act No. AZ of 1875 within this
present quarter. CHAS. CLlNION,

the occasion which will proffer itself
next week. An attractive programme,

been prepared, and the undoubted

entertainment enjoyable. The price

Seraphine Pinaro and Manuel Fall
con Of this parish, who have been on
trial before the District Court in St.
John the Baptist for horse stealing,
made their escape Wednesday night
and have not been heard of since.
The testimony for the State was all
in, and the defense was to have
opened Thursday morning, when the
proceedings were brought to a close
by the discovery Of the flight of ac-
cused. The evidence against them is
said to have been very strong, and
was the incentive to their disappear
ance. We understand that the Dis
trict Attorney will institute a rigid
prosecution against the bondsmen of
Pinaro and Falcon to recover Che
amount Of their respective securities,
$500 in one case and $1,000 in the
other.
