A Novel Case.

Trial Justice 0. r. Calhoun had novel case
before him on yesterday, the points involved
in which deserve the attention of our leSisla-
tors.
dictcd for disposng of goods under lien; Be
trial of the case, the defendant gave other Sc
cueity 10 the prosecutor fol the payment OF
the debt. The prosecutor then agreed to drop
the cast against him. Yesterday was the day
appointed for the trial, aud the county had
been put to considerable expense in the way
of summoning witnesses, &c. When the
case was called, the prosecutor, by his attor-
new announced that he wished to discontin-
ne the case. The Trial Justice had some
doubt as TO whether he had then the right To
discontinue, and after consulting nuthoritlcs
ruled that he had no discretion In the matter,
but to save the county the expenses or the
case, said he would discontinue II, provided
the prosecutor would pay The costs.
This was refused the prosecutors attorney
contcnding that he represented the State,
and had the right to say whether the case was
one for trial or not. The Trial Justice held
that he too WIS the guardian of the States
interests and IL was his business to see that
neither state nor county suffered In MS court.
Hc called the case, and the prosecutor was
put upon the stand. The prosecuting att"r-
the case. when the Trial Justice took the en-
animation in hand himself
The case finally went off on technicalify,
the prosecutor not having the mortgage Itself
with him, and the county was thrown IN the
costs.
We say this matter deserves the attention
OF our legislators. Here the whole machinery
of the Criminal Court had been brought into
action merely 10 enable the prosecutor TO col
sct debt and after the SeeurinS Of me dept
pay for IL. What the remedy Is our logisla'

The attention of the General Assembly has
heretofore been directed TO the fact that Arti-
Gle ., Section 1. Of the Constitution provides
that an enumeration of the Inhabitants of
the State shall be made In the course OF every
tenth year, after 1873, for the purpose OF an
apportionlnent Of Representatives among the
vides. that "if the enumeration herein direct
"ed shall not be made In the course OF the
'ycar appointed for the purpose. IT. shall he
"the duty Of the Governor to have IL Cficctcd
s'as soon thereaf; cr as shall be practicable"
1t is plainly the intention of the Section
last mentioned that the accomplishment of
the purpose stated in the first shall not Tor
discharge the duty thus imposed upon him
without an appropriation. Clearly, the Gov
ernor should not be required 10 perform Il
duty, and ut the same time be denied the
means by which TO discharge II.
recommend that an appropriation be
made for this purpose. This will be unneccs'
sary If you should ratify the amendment to
the Constitution relating TO the census.

The 18th of February, 1861, was q
beautiful Southern day, said Col. Capcrs,
who was private secretary of the first
Confederate Secretary of the Treasury, to
New York World representative at
Washington. The sun beamcd down on
the natal occasion like happy father,
and soft southwest wind was lifting
the leaves of the magnolia that twined
with the laurel in many large festoon
about the Corinthian columns of the
Capitol at Montgomery, Ala. An i'm
mense concoursc Of people gathered to
the Inauguration, but so solemn were tho
ceremonies and so earnest were tho peo-
pie, that Col. Capcrs, sitting on horse
back in the outskirts of the throng, heard
distinctly every word Of the eloquent
opening prayer Of DR.. Manley. The
venerable divine and Vice President.
elect Stephens rode in the carriage
with Mr.. Davis, and Howell Cobb, Presi.
dent of the Convention, administered the
oath of office. Mr.. Davis spoke his in.
augurol quietly, but distinctly, and upon
taking the oath raised hi, eyes towards
heaven and repeated the concluding
words, $50 help mo Cod" In tone SO
strong and clear that they could DO heard
by every one present, There was re-
ception that night and brilliant ball.
G. c. Memminger, of South Carolina, was
appointed Secretary of the Treasury, and

selected as his private secretary, opened
their Office in the Commercial Building

convenient. There was banking Office
on the ground floor. The State,

IT is quite wonderful to think how

the very children can carve in wood, in
others they can make artistic pottery; in
Egypt they cmbroider, inlay, and work
in jewelry; but in this country our pc }.
pie can do nothing, and have learned
nothing outside their trade. The agri.
cultural laborer, it is true, possesses a
very considerable and varied amount Of
knowledge-he is skilled in many ways;
but the mechanic, the factory hand, the
shopman, knows nothing and can do
nothing outside his trade aud, which is
worse, he considers every kind of handi.

would be learning another craft, after

A Dog thpt Could Couvt,

shady and grassy hooks, he at last gath

A part of the road ran through n low,
moist spot borlcred by a thicket of black
alder, and into this one of the COWS
pushed her way and stood quietly. The
others passed on, followed some distance
in the rear by Fetch
As tic cows approached the barnyard
gate, he qujckcncd his pace and hurried
forward as if to say "l'm here, attend.

was disturbed as the cows filed through
the gate. lie whincd little and growl-

rails. After looking at the herd careful.
ly for a time, he started off down the
road again on full run. His master
now observed that one of the cows was
missing, and he sat down on rock to
see what Fetch was going to do about it.
Before very long he heard the furious
tinkling of a bell, and soon Fetch APP

Without relief,
And paused moment when she heard that
moan;
Then raised her glowing eyes and met mine
own.
Never word sho said,
Yet still gazed and still was comforted.
Then bending low with wondrous grace
She laid her hand upon my eyes,
Her cool hand on my burning face,
And at her touch bright visions rise,
Fresh woods md streams and unimagnet
skies.
In softest tone
She sang the song that has no close,
That deathless song which no one knowS
Save she alone;
The song that leaves no memory.
The song Of endless victory
And future love:
And as listened to the voice above,
felt as one returning from tho dead;
