A Good Governor.

When the New York Times praises Wade Hampton, we may be sure he is pretty good governor. In it's Fridays issue, it speaks edi- torially as follows:
 Let us give Governor Hampton his due. With all his faults, he has striven with tolera- ble consistency, since his accession to office, to fulfill pledges which go far towards atoning for the doubtfulness of his title. It will be remembered to his honor that he has protested against, and as far as possible resist ed the project of repudiation which Demo cratic extremists have urged with some likeli- hood of success and that if it finally fail, the result will in no slight degree be attributable
 He has treated colored militiamen asfairly as the white, and had the satisfaction, on Wash ington's Birthday, of seeing both in excellent condition. It is evident that he has kept his word and is doing what he can to break down the jealousies and animosities of the two races, and to protect equally the rights of both.
 In other words President Hayes and Gov. Hampton have kept Loyalty to their original program of reconciliation. If all Republicans and all Democrats had done as well, the sec tional issues that have everywhere followed Reconstruction would have been long since at an end. Bourbon Democrats in Louisiana and Bourbon Rebublicans in Washington are striving to keep the old fire burning, but the people-of all sections-are with Hayes and Hampton. Indeed, in these times when sell fish politicians swarm over the face of tho aAnd, and sheer at honesty and honor and pat riotism wherever they find them, it is cheer ful Si~ht that of Sl1ch a npos;dent If tho TTn;ta States and such governor of South Carolin, as we have been vouchsafed in this year o grace 1878.

A few of his friends in Rome illuminated their houses in honor of the event, and had their windows smashed by the popu- lace for their pains-an intensely stupid per formanee, no doubt, but scarcely less so than the pope's game of sulks with the government of Italy.

The bill relative to appointment of trial jus tices has been rejected. We know nothing of the merits of this particular measure, but there is great need of some reform in regard to justice trials. By existing law there are large number of justices in each town. A plaintiff generally brings his case before jus tice so partial as to make the trial thoroughly one-sided. An appeal follows, and the dock cts of the higher courts are numbered up with petty cases, to the great cost of litigants and delay of business. Were there few oompe- tent justices appointed in each county, with jurisdiction to the amount of $200, and right of appeal only in cases where the amount of judgment exceeds $50, it would be great relief to count dockets, and a great conven- fence to the public,
