THE JUDGES SOCIAL.
These dignified and learned Judges do
not dlsdain the social life OF WytheylIe nor
even decline societl's gaIeiies. Three OF

that they were dancing) and they seemed to

This, by the way, gave me the chance OF
seeing some OF Wytbeyille's charming
bellies under better auspices even than At

feeble illumination Of the room, which only
half revealed their features and expression.
THE DEBT PAYING PARTY WILL REFLECT
THEM.
Before | dismiss ms honorable body,
will say that The term Of its judges will ex.
pire in a year or two, and it is very i'm.
portant for the character Of the court and
the due administration OF justice that the
next Legislature be rescued from the Re.
adiuster faction by the success OF the
Funder or Debt.Paying party. If not, the
next Legislature will not Ieappoint these
judges, but will ill the vacancies with Re-
adiuslerS. Now, there are not, am told.
In that party five equally competent iurist,,
and so one may imagine the loss to the
court. This dmger is forescen, and so the
true friends OF Nirsinas credit and honor
will strain every nerve to succeed in tHe

GENERAL JCBAL 4. EARLY.

Last week had the pleasure of an intro
duciion to General Jubal 4. Early, whom
we Georoians 80 much admire for bis gallant
war record, and for his subsequent fidelity
to the Lost Cause. "Old Jubal,' as we
iondly call him, does not even now, after
the war has been over for sixteen years,
seem to be ali old man. He has STOPPING
gait and venerable beard; but, in spite OF
these, his fac i, full and resolGte, and bis
voice, though not loud, is firm and steady.
His physique and his spirit will proloDg bis
life, | trust, for many years. n touching
distinction that appeals through the eye to
the southern heart is the Confederate gray
full suit which our hero always wears, and
which is both reminder Of our struggle
for freedom and token OF General EarIy's
proud memories OF the war.
