The suggestion Of the San Francisco
postmaster. to write the abbrsviations Of
California and Colorado "Csla." and
"Col." instead Of Cal. and COL. Is a
good one. and IL generally adopted
would do much toward preventing the
postal agents from making any mistake
in the matter. To make assurance
doubly sure. however. 1t would be still
better to spell Colorado out In full.
Many do that even now. and their letters
never miscarry. Nevada and Nebraska
should also be spelled out in foil. for
similar reasons. Many people thus
spell out the names Of all the States in
full. After taking pains to write q let

solid rock bottom and solid rock banks
about 80 feet high. 1t is in a cotton

as a cotton growing State, than Col,

The Dinerence in SOLIDS.

In the Forty-frst Congress, out of
sixty-three Southern Representatives
admitted to seats. ffty-two were Repub-
Hcans, and Of Southern Senator'S twenty
two were Republicans The South was
as solid then as it is now in the 41th
Congress, but it was on the other side.
In the Forty-frst Congress the entire
body of the white people Of the South,
who owned all the property and paid all
the taxes, were practically without rep
resentation vet not one word Of disap-
prevail was uttered against this mon
strous wrong by press or speaker Of the
Republican party Now, on vague
allegations totally unsupported by re-
spectacle proof, that the colored people
Of two or three States are deprived Of
representation, the partisan press Of the
North Is in an agony Of horror and
reproach. 1t makes all the difference
in the world with the Republican agita-
tors, which side the South Is solid for.
1t was all right in the 41st Congress.
1t is all wrong in the 47th Congress.
The South Is ready to be Judged by her
actions. We have had six years ex-
perience Of the solid South. The events

Judge r. A. Hill.


/ The Z. 5. Circuit and District Courts
for the Southern District of Mississippi,
convened on Monday last Judge Hill,
with his usual promptness, was on hand.
and during the first day all the legal
machinery for the term was put in full
operation.
Judge Hill Is getting along in years
three score and ten last March-and
+ il will not be a great while before he
will have the privilege Of retiring, if he
50 elects; but he has vast deal OF
judicial work in him yet, and he Is 50
constituted that he may prefer to wear
ont than TO rust out In 1866. he was
appointed to the position he now holds.
He keeps a clear docket, and while a
.sstrict constructions" in matters of
law, we believe it is generally conceded
he has decided leaning TO equity and
mercy.
During his recent visit to Washing
ton. he was assigned by Judge
Woods owing to the sickness Of
Judge Erskine, the District Judge
for Georgia, and the vacancy in
the Circuit Judgeship-to hold the
L. ). Circuit and District Courts at At
lanta, for North Georgia. He opened
the courts on the second Monday in
March, and continued until the second
Monday in April; found forty-tw0 de-
PENDANTS in jail awaiting trial, and two
hundred and fifty on bond, with over
one thousand witnesses summoned.
Most Of the charges were for running
illicit distilleries, chiefly in the noun
tains. The owners of the distiIleries, all
who worked in them, those who took
the grain from them, and those who sold
the liquor, were prosecuted. There were
also some other cases for different of
fences, among them two men, brothers,
for way-Iaying and wounding three rev.
enue officers; these were convicted and
sentenced TO the penitentiary for two
years OF those in jail, all were tried
but one, and Of the whole number there
were 155 persons tried and who plead
guilty and about 125 jury trials in or
binary cases These Moonshiners, as
they are called, are very poor and igno-
rant; not one among them was able to
pay fine or costs; the lowest penalty
was inflicted for running the distillery
one month imprisonment and 5000
fine and cost for working or laboring in
the distillery ; one month imprisonment
for furnishing material one month and
two hundred dollars for removing the
three months and two hun
dred dollars and costs for selling.
Many of the parties came over 200 |
miles on foot, and camped out; among
them were a number of women, some
as defendants but mostly as witnesses
One woman had twin babies, some two
months old, and another not more than /
Is months. When the Judge heard the /
babies cry he could not stand it and /
ordered the cases continued at once and .
sent the women home. The defence set
up by some was that they were members
Of the church and therefore could not
be guilty. Just sucha court, composed
IF such crowd, has seldom met but
al promised to quit the business as they
found it did not pan out well. The
Judge found most able and courteous
