The Circuit Judges.

On the 22nd instant the Supreme
Court rendered decision in the case
ofthc State Of South Carolina against a.
J. Shax, the action having been brought
by the Attorney General, under instruc-
tons from the Legislature, against HIM
for the purpose Of testing the validity
of his election to the Office Of Circuit
Judge. the same having been by ,ica
rocc vote, instead of by ballot. The
decision is based upon Article w., Sec
tion 13, of the Constitution, which pro-
yilcs that "for each Circuit Judge
shall be elected by joint bullet of the
General Assembly," The decision of
the Court was rendered by Justice Has
ken, Justice McIvcr concurriug, but
filing a separate opinion, aud Chief
Justice Willard fling dissenting opIn-
ion.
The action of the Court, though
manifestly correct, has nevertheless been
received with considerable surprise
throughout the State, the prevailing
opinion being that so early conclusion
would not be reached. Judge Shaw is
oustcd from the Office of Circuit Judge,
and along with him all of the Judges
who were elected by era rocc vote,
instead of by ballot, viz: Judges Reed,
of TIE First, Wiggin, Of the Second,
Townsend, Of the Fourth, Mackey, Of
the Sixth, and Cooke, of the Eighth
Circuit. Elections will be held to-day
by the Legislature for the purpose OF
filliug the vacancies. 1t is sincerely to
be hoped that tho best men for the places
will be chosen; but, as is usual on such
occasions, candidates arc as numerous
as they can be.

The University.

The indications are that the bill be-
fore the Legislature for rcopeninS the
University will fail to become a law.
The debate in the House, where the
measure originated, has been prOtractcd'
warm and exhaustive. Those who op-
pose the bill do SO upon the ground
that the taxpayers arc just now too
moor to pay tax to revive the Uni.
xersity and raise it TO the standard OF a
first class institution 4; and that 1t is un-
necessary at the present time, the de-
nominational colleges being amply sutfi :
cient for the accommodation Of all young
men who may seek education. 1t is
likely, however, that tax will be levied
for the protection Of the University
building and library.

Factories.

Of all places in the State, not one is
better fitted by nature for the building
of factories Of every description than
our old town of Camden. Situated at
the terminus OF the railroad aud at The
head Of navigation on the Wateree river,
and surrounded by large aud never iai.'
ing streams upon which may be iOuud
innumerable sites for mills, from the
smallest to the largest, she must some
day become great manufacturing CEN
ire. So much confidence have wc in
the correctness Of our estimate OF the
advantages OF the place, that we arc
quite sure it is only necessary for the
capitalists Of the North to become ac'
ouainted with them in order to be in

Cannot some novel plan be instituted by
which these advantages can be con-
vcyed to the ears Of those who have
money TO invest? Sumter has been
doing something Of the kind, and with

How to Get Rid Of a Wife.

A Paris gentleman, M. Duval,
has discovered new way to get
rid of troublesome wife. She was
fond of spirits and society, and he
had endured her presence as long
as he felt he was in honor bound
to do. So he rubbed her all over
with petroleum and then set fire to
the oil. AT IL o'clock in the MORN
ing lie burst into q neighbours room
to tell how his wife had Just
burned herself and how he had
scorched his hands in attempting to
put out the flames. The neighbor
followed him to the scene of these
experiments in oil and found the
woman lying on the floor senseless,
but still breathing. After a little
she regained her consciousness sui.
ficiently to speak, and with her
last breath she charged her hus-
band with having murdered her.
nj. Duval, on being arrested, de-
clared that his wife was in delir-
ium tremens when she accused
him, but the physicians insist that
she had her full senses. From
first to last the story is peculiarly
French, and the result of the trial
doubtless will be Il fitting sequel to
it; the murderer will be sent to
prison for few months.

Hint0n's Handbook to Arizona.

Having given some casual atten-
ton to this work, we endorse it as
of decided value. Imprimis, one
of its features is map which we
have heard spoken of by engineers
familiar with Arizona as a very
valuable and conscientious achieve.
ment. Col. Hinton has made two
quite thorough explorations of
Arizona. He is gentleman of
quick observation, a keen eye for
the practical as we'll as the
picturesque and quite graphic
powers of narrative. He has
called literally upon the notes Of
earlier writer's on Arizona and has
thus made his own treatise a
storehouse of fact, fancy and topo-
graphic detail. We think that he
has timed the advent of his book
very happily. An unusual degree
of attention is now concentrated on
this territory. Experienced pros
pectors are IF opinion that, from a
mining standpoint, it is the "com-
ing land" Thousands of interested
persons will find in Col. Hinton's
book a something that will abridge
the field of their own inquiries, as
sist them in making visit to the
territory pleasant and profitable;
and, besides, the Handbook" will
give the merely curious several
hours of enjoyable reading, There
will undoubtedly be n large de.
mand for the book in this section,
as there certainly ought to be. We
should learn all we can of our
priced "back country"

EDITOR HERALD: A com NUM-
cation appears in this evenings
Express which does great injustice
to myself and William X. Badger
with Hecht Bros.) and which is
untrue in all essential particulars.
1t is true that Mr.. Badger and my
self visited Downey on business,
and that we hired u team from Mr..
Pollard to take us to Ell Monte, for
which we agreed to pay So, and
which we did pay to the driver,
who took it, and remarked that he
thought the price was to have been
"a. We replied that the price
agreed upon was So, but rather
than have any dispute we rendered
him another dollar, which he re-
fused to take and left seemingly
satisfied. We retired to led think
ing nothing more about the mat
ter, until we were awakened by
Constable John McGaryin, of
Downey, who attached our baggage
for one dollar, claimed to be the
balance due for driving us to Ell
Monte, and attachment costs. Be.
ing DESTROYS of leaving the town,
we of course paid the Judgment,
amounting to Sl9 10.
We notice the communication
referred to simply to correct the
false impression it is calculated to
produce and to protest against the
exorbitant and unjust charge of
the Constable and Justice of the
Peace, to which we were obliged to
submit or leave our property in
their possession. The above state.
ment can be substantiated by dis
interested witnesses.
