IErom the Judiciary Committed, re-os-
iablished the old fee bill, which isl
about fifty per cent. less than the.
present fees allowed; but inthe House
tho spirit of reform seemed to lbe 60.
deeply seated in the bosoins of the
members that they madesa still furth>
er reduction offifty per cent. This
action soon became ridiculous, and, if
it had been persisted in, would have
killed the bill; for there is not COM
petent man in the State who would
have accepted an Office ander'its oper,
ations. A majority of the members
were soon convinced of thes folly of
their action, and, for the purpose of
preserving the bill, it was referred to
q special committee of five farmers
and three lawyers. ~
The election of Judges is the all
absorbing topic now. All say they
regret the decision of the Supreme
Court at this juncture, and would
have preferred that the old Judges
should have been allowed to serve out
their time and then have retired
quietly. But the Legislature made
the issue, and now it is our duty to
meet it squarely and manfully. Men
to fill these exalted and important po-
sitlons should be selected solely for
moral and legal fitness for the posi-
ton. Political services in the past, or
prospective, should not be taken into
consideration, unless all other quaIifi-
cations were equal, Who will be the
successful men it is hard to tell.
There are many candidates and each,
of course, is sure ho will be elected.
The election will not take place be-
fore the middle or latter part Of next
week.

to the Chair, ard Mnj. T. II. Russell
requested to actas Secretary.
The Chairman briefly stated the
objects of the meeting; and, after o
full and free conference, the following
preamble and resolutions were unap>
imously adopted:
WHEREAS, Ithas long been a favor
ite idea with the railroad men of the
West and South to construct cheap
railroad route from Ohio to Port Roy.
al, s. c.; and whereas the dividing
ridge between the Saluda and Savan-
nah Rivers is generally conceded TO
be the bost natural road bed for such
J connection, extending from the foot
, OF the B!ne Ridge to Augusta, Port
Royal and Charleston; and whereas
I the proposed charter for u road from
Easley 10 Bolton will be an important
link in the progress of this great
Western and Southern connection by
rail. Therefore, be it #-r. -.
| ReSolved, That wo urge our Repre>
sentatlves, both of Pickens and An
derson, to press our Legislature to

said road.

interested in the proposed enterprise,

Election of Judges.

Tho Legislature were to have elec-
ted six Circuit Judges yesterday, but
we are unable to say whether it did or
not. For some reason, it has contin-
tinued this election from time to time,
cheit among which, we suppose, was
to give the candidates time to canvass
and to hear the expression Of the bar
and people upon the question. The
bars of Greenville, Anderson and Ab~
beville, three out of tho five counties
composing the 9th Circuit, have adj
dressed letters to the Legislature pro.
testing against tho ro-election OF
Judge Cooke, and urging upon the
members the Importance Of having O
puro and ablo judiciary, and asks
thom TO have an eye solely to the
qualifications Of tho candidate, both in
point of moral character and legal
acumen, and not TO elect q man to this
high Trust as reward for political
services. The several bars on Judge
Mackey's Circuit have done tho same
which, unquestionably, has blasted oil
hopos Of the election of those two
Judges. The bars of the respective
Circuits aroscertainly the best judges
of tho qualifications vf a man for this
position, and when they, with one
voice, protest against the election Of a
man, the Legislature could not, with
any show of justification, Disregard
their wishes. 1t is said that Col.
Thomas Thompson, of Abbeville, and
Maj. Whitner, Of Greenville, wore tho
most prominent candidates for the
place, and one or the other, in all
probability, is now Judge. s

THE MERCANTILE EXCURSION To-DAY.-The
excursion of the Grocers and Flour Dealers
to-day promises to BE- great success. Chand-
ler's full band has bsen engaged for the occa-
sion and will leave their band room and pro-
coed to the store of Twitchell, Champlin &
Co. From here they will proceed down Com
mercal street as far as the Custom House and
then turn and pass down Portland Pier to the
steamer Meta, where they will embark for
Little Chebeague at 10 O'Clock. Tickets are
not offered for public sale, but the friends of
the Commercial street merchants can procure
tickets of them early this morning. The mer-
chants pay the bills and invite their employees
to spend the day at their expense. Every one
is expected to take their family and a good
social time is expected. A clam bake, with al
abundant of fixings for those who do not like
clans, will be uncovered by Landlord jerks of
the Sunnyside House at $50 p. m. A boat
will leave for the city an houg later, while
those who wish to remain can leave by boat
in the evening. There will be an abundance of
amusements provided for all. Prizes will be
offered for archery, foot racing, SC. If the
weather is unfavorable, the excursion will be
postponed to another day.

Reform school Boys Cam ping Out.

A correspondent writes :-On Tuesday last we
were courtsously invited by Mr.. Wentworth,
the Superintendent of the Reform School, to
spend the day with the boys on Little Che
beague Island. Glad enough we were to go
and a very pleasant time We spent there. Be-
tween 20 and so boys are camping out on the
island, which is admirably adapted for this
purpose as it is only some 200 acres in extent
and can therefore be subjected to supervision at
all times A large barn has been converted
into dormitory, and the eals ale taken of
course sal fresco," under the whispering pines.
The boys seemed to be 10 splendid health and
spirits, and one could not help thinking that
this is the way to bring about personal reform
while there yet time.
For sports they have foot ball, base ball, boat
ing fishing and bathing, not to mention nun
erous other pastmes which a sort of free ma
sonry among boys makes them invent for their
own amusement. AS to eating, talk not OF it.
Such fresh air! Such bad thug thing for the
doctor! Such good thirg for the baker! We
found about pound aud half of gllsd mack
erel with the snowiest Of early Roses" and
theasual concomtants enough at last to fill
that vacuum.
We returned to Portland both batter and
wiser, because we had seen much to crafty us
and had altogether enjoyed red-leter day.
