Saturday, December |, In the House.-A

ncsday, December 5, in joint assembly, for the
yac i o oc by tho %resisnation Of [.
G. Northrop, Judge OF the It'll Circuit.
Mr.. Bradley moved that the resolution be
laid upon the table.
Mr.. Simpson demanded the yeas and nays,
which were taken and resulted as follows:
Yeas 4; nays 50.
Mr.. Bradley then offered the following
amendment; "And one Associate Justice, TO
supply the vacancy on the Supreme Bench,
caused by the resignation Of ]. j. Wright"
Mr.. II. r. Hemphill objected to the resolu-
ton and amendment suggested. and said he
understood there was some difficulty about
the mode Of electing Judges, and that a case
to test the question had been brought before
the Supreme Court for adjudication.
Mr.. Petty took the same ground, and opin-
ed tnat 1t would be the wisest course to defer
the election until the question as to the man
ner OF elections could be fully determined.
Mr.. Simpson moved to make 1t q special
order for Monday next.
MIR. Dibble opposed the motion. He said
there was no necessity for delay; that 1t would
seriously interfere with the business OF
O%rangeburg county not to have a court for
fifteen months, which would be the effect OF
delay, and that the interests oflltlgants would
be endangered.
Mr.. Y. ]. Pope took a different post ion. He
thought 1t best to defer tho matter for the
present.
After some short passages.at-arms between
the above members, the question was finally
put, and the resolution, as amende d. adopted.
These two important vacancies will, therefore,
be filled Wednesday, 9TH.

Sale Day,

Saleday in December Is generally consider.

large numbers assemble at the Court House

The attendance OF white people on Monday
was as numerous as in former years, but
there was q noticeable falling OFT in the num-
Der Of negroes. On no december Saleduy
since Reconstruction" has the attendance OF
negroes been SO slim. The poor labUrers seem
TO he making few preparations for Christmas,
and they are slow TO make arrangements 1Or
next years work. \ good deal OF land was
sold at distressingly low figures, lower even
than on last Saleday. Everything passed OH

Small Economy,

In oldcn times-the good old dnte-beuum
from the executive and other State depart
ments, were ordered to be published in every
paper In the State. Now they are inserted in
the Columbia and Charleston dailies. 1t may
be that the country papers are expected to
copy for Information, or It may be that 1t does
not matter whether their readers are inform
ed at all. We do not believe that the tax-pay-
ers sanction any such economy. II the State
Is unable to pay any paper for publishing Its
advertisements, then we are willing still to
work for it without reward, even as we have
struggled In the past for Its redemption; but
when advertisements are put In q few papers,
the people Of the whole State are equal
ly interested. we do not intend TO copy them
for nothing. We repudiate economy sO-called,
that operates for the benefit Of u few ut the
expense of many.-True &OtLhrOu.

disobey his orders and keep improper com.
pany, cvincins in that respect desire to re-
turn to her old life. Keator stated in few
days he meant to leave this city for New
York, and he would take her with him il

60 alone. Justice Crutchtield advised Mr..
and Mrs. keator to try to live together in
