Nervous People.


We have observed among our ex-
changes .criticisms upon Judge Golf
who has recently signed several in
Afrnctfon orders, and also certain Attor-
yneys at law who went before the Judge
/ upon certain showings and asked relief
for their clients. Certain editors and
r others set up q howl at the institution
of these proceedings; they are adverse
to all action or proceeding and are en-
amoured of the STATUS QUO in all civil
and political affairs. Complaints are
made against Messrs. Pope and Cald-
we'll and Douglas g. Obear, that they
have rushed into the courts and dis
turbed the stagnant political waters in
South Carolina. These ervou people
are greatly to be pitied; in some cases
the condition results from the natural
organization; in others it Is the result
OF some abnormal complaint that has
become chronic for want Of prompt
treatment; in others it proceeds from
an exaggerated egotism that would deny
to others the liberty of action, politi-
cal or otherwise, that they assume they
rafoneshould be endowned with. Just
80. Charles the Second was content
with the status and Cromwell and his
Ironsides stalwarts kept things STIR
ring and the good order was broken;
later Johnnie Wilkes made a TODD and
kept upa monstrons disturbances; the
American re~volutionists had an inning,
and George Sd had his siestas broken
upon by disturbing accounts from the
aizggs in his colonies, and later the
hch revolutionists went with all the
stern world into Mysteries over the
Killing OF, a King, and some three mil
ions women and men. All this rest
Sness, and as you may suggest, outra-
shreach of propriety eliminated
In giving tothisgenerg:ssHfAeen and,
women the little liberty they enjoy.N
The world will not stand still. The
status quo was O good thing for Charles
I'd and Louis XVI. But in this age Of
schools and colleges and philosophy,
why should there be such a Juror over
the doings Of a few lawyers and a doz-
en- or so judges. There should be some
manhood, some show of equable de-
meanor, some grit to endure and keep
cool, when only q tomtit is struck by
lightning. The readers of the ADvER-
TIsER will not go into fits at high jinks
by Tillman, Evans, Trby, Samps Pope,
Golf, STRAY, Blanch, or Sweetheart"
big dogs or little dogs. Calmly, coolly
and traight-forward, the world moves,
and men who are men will not consider
or regard your passions or your preju-
dices or your interests. One other
point, 1t may be we'll to note right
here: this is a thinking age; it is enter
pris1ng, courage has not failed NOR nor
women and all around us stand heroes
and heronies who will not yield one
! inch OF homes conscience in the face of
millions in opposition. In the mean
while II Goff's injunctions hold, let
them hold; If your judges are dishon-
est remove them; if your course is
right and tyranny Expresses it, fight it
put. AS you travel through this life
you will encounter much filth and ras-
cality; much cleanness, noble virtue
and generosity. Complaining and
bowling will do no good; Dear the ills
or remove them. Stand for the right
and the light Is finished.
