Is 1t Peace or War7

Russia is at present master of the stu
alton. Her armies and guns. though not
in Constantinople, command the coveted
city. The British fleet is in the Darda-
nelles, and troops and munitions of war
are being sent from Britain to the Lcvant.
The vote of six million pounds .terling
has been granted by q two hundred ma
jority in parliament. Around the parlia-
ment house and through the streets Of
London and other cities, excited crowds
sing "God save the Queen" and v~ociier-
ously applaud tho governments anti
Russian policy. The windows of Glad
stones town house, and of the Daily
News office were smashed by the crowd.
All the great powers have agreed to
Aastria's demand for a Conference, but
Russia prefers Il small town to Vienna as
the place Of meeting.
The ridiculous Greek fasco has ended.
The Grecian army has gone home after
the loss Of one killed and three wounded.
The Turkish fleet under Hobart Pasha
threatened Athens and other towns, and
Greece begged to be allowed not to fight.
TUESDAY nights mail brings us grave
news from Europe. The Sultan refuses
permissioS to the British fleet to approach
C~onstantinople because Russia threatens
to occupy the city if he grants it. Russia
seems combative. Her people are not
averse to war with Britain. Russia
claims the right to protect Christians
with her army, which England claims to
do with her fleet. The hour is CRITICALLY

The Blue Ridge Railrond.

The proposition to build the Blue
Ridge Railroad by convict labor in this
State is now before the Legislature in q
tangible shape, under a resolution offered
by Mr.. Werner, Of Oconee, authorizing
the Governor to furnish 200 able bodied
convicts to any company who will guar
antee the completion of the road with
in four wears. This Is not as liberal as
we were in hopes the General Assembly
would be towards the completion of this
grand national highway, and we trust ii
will vet be amended so as to give two
hundred convicts absolutely to the enter
prise. and furnish them with clothes and
rations during the time they are engaged
in this great State enterprise, taking stock
in the company to the value of the labor
so furnished. This is the policy which
North Carolina has pursued with her
convicts, and it is well worthy Of our I'M
itation.
The above we take from the Anderson
I~ntelligence,., and endorse the sentiments
therein contained in reference to convicts'
This road could be built by convict labor
and it would be a standing monument Of
our enterprise and an inestimable bless

Hell and Circuit Judges.

The two great questions of the day seem
to be, first, the existence of hell, and'
second, the election of Circuit Judges.
We ask this third question.-Which of
these two will be first solved? The first
question has been discussed for two
months in nearly every pulpit from the
North Pole to the Isthmus; and the end
is not yet. The election Of our six Cir
cult Judges has filled the public press
and the public ear for three weeks, and
the end of it is still invisible. The
Senate and-the House are playing a sort
Of see-saw game with it, and the 'poor
taxpayer" stands wonderingly gazing at
said game. Is the game worth the can
die? Every days delay costs the State
800 FOR prisoners feed,-not to speak Of
the expenses incurred by calling and adj
journing Courts. Very likely half Of
the prisoners now awaiting trial will be
acquitted, and still the poor fellows are
kept lingering in durance vile when they
might be at work in the field. We have
failed to discover in the reported pro-
ceedings ofeither House any reason what
soever for this expensive and unintelligi-
BILE delay. Our representatives should
take the people, 'the poor taxpayer who
is their peculiar pet, into their conf
dence.

Known Inebriates.

The Kentucky Legislature, says the
Louisville Courier Journal, have passed q
very stringent law against the sale OF
liquor to known inebriates. The Motfet
Bell Punch law did not pass in u Leg
islature. We hope that some faiend of
temperance and morality will frame for
this State, a bill similar to the II just
passed in Kentucky. The "known inc
briates" are very we'll known, and it
would not be difficult for saloon-keepers
to obey the law. 1t would, moreover, be
a great comfort to those of us who some
times take a dram, to be able to procure
one in a bar-room. It would be q kind
Of public certificate that the purchaser
Of a glass of whiskey is not a
known inebriate." The general custom
has been to dodge about a good deal,-to
20 in by the back door,-to call to sec the
bar-room-keeper ION business,"-to do
anything rather than be seen entering a
bar-room. But let such a law be enacted,
and then each bar-room-keeper is a cen
sor Of public morals, a glass of whiskey
is a certificate of good character, and red
noses and blood-shot eyes will never
more be seen.

The GrseninNe Ne1rs in AN ahla arpn

The Greenville INems in an able argu.
ment in favor of reelection of most OF
the Judges as matter of policy, says:
"Without going into the many argyll
ments and reasons for this rs the best
policy, We think our representatives will
act wisely to ~rc-elect several Of the re-
cent incumbents, at least Cooke, Mackey
and Shaw, and we believe the people will
endorse their action in so doing"
The Lancaster Ledger is stoutly oppo-
sed to increasing the number of Judges.
1t says:
Resolutions were introduced in both
Houses of the General Assembly, as soon
as the decision was made public, to 90
into an election to fill the vacancies Mt an
early day, but it appears that the Senate
is in no big hurry, and it is said that that
to redistrlct the State and increase the
number of circuits to ten. The consum-
NATION of such u Measure wOuid be an
outrage upon the people. Better by far
reduce the number of judges than in
crease them. Better for the tax payers
that an i,yi,na1y be established at once
for the pets"
The GeOrgetown Times is q friend of
the State University. 1t says:
''That state must he poor indeed, and
its, people penurious to a crime, that will

The Judicial Elections.


The Senate has again postponed the
consideration Of the election Of Circuit
Judges. The matter has been brought
before the Senate three times since the
decision of the Supreme Court, and
without any adequate reason known to
the public, the time for considering the
resolution has been delayed to a future
day. When that day arrives, the MAORI
w of Senators agree to put oil the reso-
luton again. No one car object to a tu-
ture day being named for the election,
but the Senate has not yet reached the
point to set the day. What is the diff
Guilty? The action of the Senate has the
appearance of triiing with an important
question, and there is no doubt that the
business of the country will be further
delayed by non-action. Before the de-
cision of the Supreme Court was rem
dered, there was SOME impatience mani
tested in the Senate at the brief delay,
and the proposition was seriously made
to declare the judicial offices vacant in
advance of the decision. The change OF
tactics has been u~naccountable, and the
people would be much enlightened ii
the reasons were made known. Is the
purpose to defeat nominations by party
caucus? The House of Representatives
will not be caught in that trap, we are
confident.

Abbeville Trading in Greenville-Bad
Roads-An Awakening Needed.

Editors Press and Banner:
Of late we have viewed with regret the
storm of trade that has been flowing with
unimpeded current W G~recnville. The
newspapers have adverted to the fact re-
peatedly. Still, however, the stream is
unbroken. Taking into consideration
the loss Of time, the wear and tear OF
OF stock and wagon, and all the exposure
incident to the journey, it afforded fewer
advantages than would, Mt first view APP
pear; but the public generally fail to ace
1t in any othe: light than that which they
behold through the medium of their pass
ings. I might mention different reasons
for the peculiar ideas which the farmers
in the Western portion of the county en-
terrain, but l shall coniine myself to one,
and leave the readers to conjecture the
remainder. The great direct channel con-
Meeting Abbeville Court House with
Lowndesville and the section immedi-
ately South and South West OF it is clos
ed, and though many of he most
enterprising and spirited citizens have
called the attention OF the County Com
misSioners TO the necessity of rebuilding
Barnett's Bridge over Little River and
the bridge which crosses Penny's Creek
at Miller's old mill, and though theC Com
missioners signified a desire to comply
with the demands of the people, still they
have deferred the matter and neglected it
until they cannot any longer forbear Civ
ing vent TO their disappointment through
the columns Of your paper. Why is 1t
that we have been thus cut off from mar
ket, and compelled by the apathy Of u
Commissioners either to haul by indirect
and impossible roads to Abbeville or else
90 by better roads to a more distant mar
ket? OF these two evils the latter is the
best. Our merchants who have goods to
sell, u citizens who have built fine
dwellings and surrounded them with
beautifully ornamented grounds, in. u
word, all whom a love Of gain or a fond
ness for the enjoyments Of social life
have attracted to Abbeville should eXer-
else all the Influence which they possess
to induce the County Commissioners to
rebuild and keep the bridges in 4 thor
ough state of repair. Thousands of dol
lars were lost to Abbeville last. Fall, and
tens Of thousands will he lost next Fall,
unless some measures arc taken by those
who disburse the public money to pro-
the interests of those who pay 1t.
1t is not necessary that the Treasury
be filled with county money in
order to construct those bridges. County
might be eniployediin cancclling
county debts, and afterwards he received
for county taxes. In making these sug-
gestions we are actuated not less by q de-
sire TO promote the public prosperity than
a zeal to advance u private interests.

Spelling.

A. movement is on foot in England to
obtain the appointment by government of
a commission of classical and English
scholars to reform and fix English spell
ing. An authorized standard is greatly
needed in both England and America.
1t would be well to appoint an interns-
tional ommission for the two countries
who use the same language and should
practise the same photography. 1t is
high time that the u~nphilological and
unscholarly innovations Of Webster
were done away with. The original
american Dictionary of the English
Language" which Webster published for
the expressed purpose Of making n
new dialect of our mother-tongue for the
use Of this country, has been purified Of
most of it's ridiculous absurdities and
plumbers in spelling and derivation !; but
YER the greatly improved "Webster's
English Dictionary Unabridged" needs
correction and expurgation. The great
est injury ever done to English orthogra-
ply was by the publication of Webster's
American Dictionary and Spelling-book.
