Hon. Judge A. h. Evans began the first
regular term of his court for Essex county
on Wednesday. Ist instant. and adjourned
il on the afternoon of the Sd. There was
considerable amount OF business, especially
in chancery, done in court, which Judge
Evans dispatched with much ease and
readiness The Judge presldes with great
ceand dignity and with perfect courtesy
and respect 10 the officers and Bar OF his
court. The people of Essex-no less than
the entire Ninth circult-have great cause
of congratulation in securing so able and
Impartial Judge. Am ng the attorneys
from other counties, General Ii. l.. i.
Beale honored the Court and Bar with his
presence.
IN THE TEMPERANCE INTEREST.
He was there in the interest of many of
the temperance friends and citizens of
Tappahannock. A certain party had made
apphcation TO the County Court far license
to conduct bar upon Nam street in Tap
pahannOck. A lengthy petition from the
citizens Of Tappahnnnock was sent TO the
Court against granting the license upon
the ground of objection 20 the fitness of
applicant or place for such business. The
license was refused, and an appeal taken
TO the Circuit Court, General Beale appear
4. Croxton for the applicant.
TIE JUDGE TEMPLAB. TOO.
When the matter was brought up at this
term the applicant protested that Judge
Evans was a Good 1emplar. hence could
and ought not to sit III the case; that Judge
Barton, of Fredericksburg, should be
brought down to take charge OF it. After
some skrmishing among the counsel the
case was continued 10 the 90th instant,
when Judge Evans viii hold a special
term. Then the battle will be fought.
Great interest has been excited in the case
and the decision is looked 20 with deep
concern by the good citizens of Tappa-
hammock. The applicant, however. has
little, II any, sympathy in his protest as 10
Judge Evens's fitness 10 adjudloate his
right.

Carlton Will likely be tried on the third
Monday Essex County-Court day). Ii is
limited that some new and startling de-
velopments duplicating others IN the sad

vicinity of the tragedy in the least abated

trial.
TO HEAR JONES.
Hon. w. a. Jones, our candidate for
Congress, is expected 10 speak in lappa-
hammock on the same day, as ii is likely
the case may be laid over for the next day,
II not term, Of the court. as everybody is
anxious to hear Jones, and are going to
do IT. court or no court" The force

raj Treasury. aud other rascalities Of the
Reed Congress have aroused even the
heretofore most passive and indifferent
voters and sll want to hear all about it and
be fully posted. With two or three excep.
tions Jones will get every white yot,
IN Essx county, and would get those two OF

palatable.
