BarnsvcN Sentinel which has on its
fourth page, some six columns OF sue
profitable advertisements as prospcc-
fuses of Northern papers, and a few
advertisements of ''patcnt' medicines
that would kill the devil if he were to
swallow them. There are some print

set up a great deal more matter than
the BdrnweN Sentinel publishes on
both sides Of his paper. Such ably
conducted pagers RS the Charleston
NCus and Courier the 1u9ustd CHron-

StHution, have never felt disposed t.
''crow" over their superior attain
ments as journalists and have never as
far ~ we know. presumed to dictate
how their county neighbors shall con
duct their own business. The very
refined and elegant BarnwcN Sentinel
would like to throw mud at men who
have independence enough to conduct
their business OH an excellent and
economical scale, and at the same time
make better and cheaper papers than
the BarnWuU Sentinel.

Captain Eads, engineer of the Mis-
sissipri River improvement at South
Pass, has accomplished the first stage
of his undertaking by deepening The
channel through the liar to twenty
feet and for q width of two hundred
feet. The success which has attended
this important work reflects great
credit on Captain Eads and encourages
the hone he c%ntcrtains of securing a
channel thirty feet for the largest yes
sells. With such a channel New Or
leans will take her place among the
chief commercial ports of the United
States, and q new era OF prosperity
opens for the Mississippi Valley. The
other passes will naturally suller, as
the main volume OF the river waller is
directed through the South Pass, and
we may therefore look for important
changes in their condition which will
eventually lead to their o~blitcration rs
navigablc channels. This improve
nlent gives New Orleans magnificent
outlet to the sea; but it also renders
the operation Of blockadiug the Mis-
sissirpi mouth by Il hostile fleet much
easier than formerly.

The Judgment OF the Supreme Court
Practically Recognized as Law.

The R~cyistrrsays that in his charge
to the graud jury Of Chester this week
Judge Mackcy took the ground that
n O act or pretended act Of the social
ed Legislature shall be obeyed Or have
any force in that county or anywhere
within the limits or the Sixth Circuit.
He will recognize no commission sign
ed by ID. III. Chamberlain, and priSo-
ncrs committed to Jail by the sentence
of his court cannot be released under
any pretended warrant OF pardon is
sued by him. The Judge gave the
opinion that the payment of the lG per
cent. contribution called for by Cover
nor Hampton will be good rs IN offset
when q tax bill has been regularly
passd. The further emphatic dcc!ara-
ton that his court will not ''pcrmit the
tax attempted to be imposed by Cham
bcrlain's ~so-callcd Legislature to be
collectcd' will arrest attention and
bring things to a head in that circuit.
Judge Mackcy places his decision up
the following impregnablc grounds:
The Supreme Court having decided
upon the illcgality of the so-called
House Of Representatives, the circuit
courts are relieved from all response
in ihe premises. and have but to
yield obedience to the Judgment of
this the highest tribunal in tho State.

KINDNESS between church members
and pastors of every Christian denom-
inatinn should be- habitual. Nothing
is more lovely than to sec different
Christian denominations working in
harmony, as is more and more coming
to be the case in this country. With
manity and divinity acknowledged,
all Christian souls, like vines out of
one soil, warmed by n sun, should
Intervene themselves and climb.

: READING THE PAPERs.-It has al
ways been q wonder to us how the
Columbia, Charleston, Charlotte, At
lanta and Augusta dailies read 80
many papers. 1t seems to usthat not a
single item escapes their notice ever in
the country papers, to say nothing of
the great daiIies. We do a small bus
mess but confess that we cannot read
half that we receive.

pointment by Governor Hampton of

pertaining to that Office.
