MAGISTRATES OFFICES.
By appointment all Of the magistrates in
the eight magisteTial districts we're con-
vened at the, court house on July 3, when
their books Bersr Systematically examined
in the criminal and civil dockets. As a
general thing We found all their books
neatly kept, and we discovered but few
errors-their charges appeared to be iusti-
fable and in accord with the list of legal
charges furnished us.
Many Of. the magistrates complain that
when theyare required to go out Of the city
to make anaFrest they are never allowed
compensatory for wagon hire or extra ser
vice. We would, therefore. respectfully
recommend that some provision be made to
meet such cases.
A communication from resident of Isle
OF Hope informs us that no protection is al
fOrded the citizens against parties VINO visit
there on Sundays, and that the residents are
often terrOrlZed by rOughs, who use unbe-
coming language, and otherwise interfere
with the peace of its inhabitants The office
Of magistrate appears to have been vacant
since tne resignation of NJ. n. DeLettre,
and notice of the acceptance of the same by
the governor has been submitted TO u.s.
Upon the petition of many citize s, we
would therefore recommend Mr.. Edward J.
Benton for the position of notary public
and ex-officio justice of the peace in the
Fifth district.
COUNTY ROADS.
The county roads are in what NAV be
called ordinary condition for this season Of
the year. just preceding the general yearly
working. The bridges on the Augusta road
all want slight repairs, with the exception
of the third bridge over Pipemaker creek
and the bridge over Cherokee creek, which
are in a dangerous condition, and should be
almost entirely renewed. The grading of
Cherokee hill would be of great benefit to
the people living beyond that point. The
Louisville road between the four and six
mile posts has some bad places, which are
almost impossible in wet weather. On the
Ogeechee road, the upper part and bridges
are in good order the lower part in fair
order, except q few washes caused by the
late rains.
In taking leave Of his honor, Judge Fall
giant, we beg to thank him for his courteous,
learned and eloquent charge at the begin
ming of the term, when he SO forcibly i'm
pressed upon us the Importance of the vari-
GUS duties we were about to assume, and we
congratulate the people Of this county and
Judicial district that our laws are admins
tered by so able, affable and just q Judge.
We thank Solicitor General Fraser for his
uniform courtesy and readiness to aid US at
all times with his counsel and ad vice, and
commend him for his vigilance and atten-
ton TO the public interests committed to his
care. We also commend the efficient bailiff
Mr. A. Jones Franklin, who rendered us
valuable services in securing prompt at
tendance of witnesses, and finally we rec
ommend that these presentments be pub
llshed in each of the daily papers of this
city. JOHN n. JOHNSON, foreman.
