Effect of the New Judicial IBIS
rrict Laws.

The act to establish Circuit and Chan
Gerry Court Districts, and the act sup
Elemental thereto, have become laws, by
the approval of the Governor. These
laws abolish the Chancery Courts and
vacate the offices, from yesterday, form
ing ten new Chaneery Court Districts,
to be filled by appointment. The Cir
cult Judges will continue in office till the
expiration of their respective terms, and
their courts are to be held as now provi-
ded by law, until the first day of July
next. AS the office of each Judge is
vacated by the expiration of his term,
his place is filled by the incoming Judge,
whose commission dates from the day
that the first county within the District
for which he is appointed, is left without
Judge, by reason of the expiration of
the term of any retiring Judge.

THE Pilot is in error i'll stating that
Mr.. Musgrove, Chairman Of the kadtcal
Central Committee, "was the Democrat
ic candidate for Auditor i'll 1873" lie
was the boiling Republican candidate and
received Democratic support. But he
did vote the Democratic ticket at the
last election, and has not only been readi,
" forgiven, but highly honored by the
Radicals for helping to win that terrible
"white league" victory. That's what
puzzle us.

IT is likely that Major Merrill, the
United States Army officer who has ia
ken special delight in abusing his author
ity to prosecute and hound the Southern
people, will come to grief. In his ex-
animation by the Congressional Military
Committee, Gen. Banning, of Ohio, Chair
man, he acknowledged that he received
over S21 600 for the conviction of Ku-
Klnx in South Carolina under SCOTS
proclamation. The affair will be fully
ventilated. Gen. Gustav charges that
Merrill accepted bride while acting as
Judge Advocate of the court-martial in
Texas, some time ago.

BRANDON, MISS, April 4, 1876.


EDITORS CLARION: / have just read
the letter OF Col. Holland, of the Holly
springs Reporter. and fully endorse his
suggestions with reference to the prices to
be paid for legal advertising. | will not
publish legal advertisements at the rates
all we'd by the bill which passed the Sen
ate and which is now before the H'uSe. /
am willing to work at living rates, but !
will not work for nothiGg aud board my
self" When the r tdical Legislature cut
the price down to 60 cents per square they
gave the paper publishing it all the legal
advertising of whole Judicial District,
and / know that most, if not all, Of these
II adical advertising mediums charged and
received full rates, Notwithstanding the law
for | have examined their receipte bills in
a number OF counties. If the present bill
becomes law the people of Rankin will
either have to start another paper or stick
their notices upon trees and houses, for
will not pub lish at such rates, and | believe
every other publisher of legitimate paper
will refuse to do so.

The Wool Question.
Editors OF the Register:


In your paper of the Goth is an item
from the Steubenville Gazette. The
writer says the htetligencer sis badly
mixed on the wool question " Now il
the nteiiiyencer was as near right in
everything as it is on wool, it would be
the most reliabepsper in this section
The truth of the matter is. the Steu-
benv,lle Gazette is some ten or fifteen
wears behind on wool. DIRTY Spanish
merino sheep" used to be the cry about
that long ago Now, if the merino
breeders cannot show as pretty and more
valuable wool, grown on the back of ne-
rino shoep, than any grown in the world,
| will agree TO take the Gazette and use
it Ms would the Bible.
The introduction of merino sheep has
beref this section by thousands Of
dollars, and il Ohio, Pennsylvanis and
West Virginia woods do not stand as
high in the eastern markets formerly,
it is because certain dealers have skim
med around and purchased at low figures
the dirty, bury stuff raised by the sub
scribers of the Gazette and pslmed it of
on the market as our wool.
Makeup, my dear fellow, and take &
ride among the wool,growers Of Belmont
Washington, Brooke and Ohio counties,
and you will learn how it is among the
true and enterprising.

"SORT o. SO.'

AS we were "sort O courting rather
than sort O. not" and In order to be more
explicit in our statements, we propose to
accept the challenge Of the Intslligencer
on the following conditions:
We will select our expert at oar own
cost, and the Mteiligencer can select, or
as it has already selected its man, at its
own expense, and let these two gentle
men examine the accounts and report,
and if they can not agree let them select
an umpire. If this proposition is agree
able to our contemporary we are ready
to name our man. The second letter OF
his name is E. l.. BILL, Esq who is an
acknowledged expert in accounts, and
whose duties have made him familiar
with the work in hand. This interesting
little committee can invest itself with the
power to send for persons and Papers. we
presume.
While making this Investigation, how
would it do to 60 little further into an
examination of the question, so often pro-
pounded, "why is it that about $4,000
of interest on State deposits was not col
lected that ought to have been, snder
Republican administration?' Ard then,
too, it might be of interestto know some
thing more about the agricultural scrip
business. How much was expended by
the State in defraying the expenses OF
Board OF Registration? All of these
things, and perhaps great many more
that might legitimately come in the way
OF the committee, would prove interest
ing work, and would serve to enlighten
the public.

profound lawyer, and keen and incisive
debater. Thurman is all that Edmunds
is, and with broader and deeper mind
He is freelp spoken of by leading Repuo'
licans rs the ablest Democrat IN the
country; and Others regard him as the
ablest man of any party which this
country has yet producsd. Asa deoater
he has no equal either in or out OF the
Senate; as reasoner, be is just, logical
and correct; as q lawyer, he is precise,
ju1icious, critical and exacting; as con-
Stitutional lawyer he is without peer.
He despises trickery, and pites and con
tennis the arts OF the demsgogue. he
does nothing for policy, and never speaks
unless he has something of value to say.
And when he does speak, he speaks
plainly and to the purpose-neither
CLOSING nor mincing. He will do moth
ing he deems to be wrong for friends or
party, nor oppose q just proposition be-
cause it comes from theother side There
Is much of the old Roman
in Thurman's character which
commands universal respect, and
his ability stands out like shining
light in clear sky. II the people de-
sire to bring the administration of the
government back to the simple practices
OF the days of Washington, Jefferson
and Madison, here is their chance. Un-
der Thurman, purity, integrity and sim
plicity would be restored IN official places.
BOSS SHEPHERD AND GRANT.
Last night, Boss Shepherd, the man of
poverty six years ago, the millionaire
TO day, gave the most expensive and
brilliant party of this gay season in this
gay metropolis, at bis grand palace.
With his thievery jobbery and corrup-
tion as notorious as Tweeds, he gives a
party to which over one thousand guests
are invited, and his great parlors, halls
and corridors are brilliantly lighted and
the air made redolent by the perfume
of a profusion of rare flowers. The
President of the United States, his, wife
and family, the Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court of the
United States, aud members of
the Cabinet all attend and vie
with each other in doing honor to this
peer of Tweed in crimes; this debauchee
of society and OF government. 1t is
terrible commentary on the morals of the
people that these things dare exist.
Time was, and within the memory Of
men not over two score, years old, when
no man in high position but would
have spurned as base insult an invita-.
tion to dine and wine with such char
acter. People who, by silence approve
these things, should not complain OF
being robbed, plundered and burthened
down with taxation. b.

TOO FAST."

The Chicago Ltcr-O OcsdH thinks that
the people of the country have been 'too
fast in ulshin. up iheir minds to de-
stroy Rsdicalism and restore the Demo
cratic party to power OF course. From
the Inter Oceans standpoint they have
been entirely too fast For, be 1t known,
the InLer-Ocean is the champion OF al
that pertains to the Radical party, and is
the special champion of the thieves and
carpet -baggers, who have preyed upon and
desolated the South. In short 1t Is the
particular friend of KELLOGG, MosEs,
AuEs and others of that ilk, and out

that from this source should come

result OF the said determination.
has proven so disastrous To itself and
friends. For What has it accomplished?
Not only has il caused Mr.. HAM, one Of
the editors cf the above mentioned paper,
to lose fat political situation, but how
completely has it destroyed the fond
hsoes and snticipations of many loyal
patriot" Why, this speed of the people
has probably nipped many Credit
Hobilier speculation in the bud; many
Cprressmsn has been forced to yield

deans of uncounted wealth which was

silics and schemes; and not only have
whisky ringsters not been permitted to
Halt down" more than half the millions
tlev had counted on, but, sadder sdl,
tie convictions and sentences to prison
yhlch have been brought on them
bcause of this rapid determination
G the people, has thinned out the
nmber of Radical voters most wofully.
Nor is this all Indeed 1T is hardly hslt.

ig able to trust to the United States
rmy and navy TO upset the Louisiana
legislature; arrest his enemies-the
eople Of Louisians-and maintain him,
iautocrat and despot, to gather in his
wealth from the hsrd-earned taxes of the
.ctizens of the State. Only consider
bw there is no longer any chance to
certurn the peaceful government Of

nd confusion, so that the will of the
oters may be trampled on, and the car
