OUR contemporary. Yosts Wceklu,
has in mild way taken us to task for
not discovering that the war is over.
We are sorry that our friend cannot
distinguish. We were not writing
about the war, but hypocrisy, thing
that existed long before the war and
has become very prevalent since.
Read us little more carefully and see
if this is not fact.

UNFAVORABLE CONTRAST. - The
conduct of Spain contrasts favora bly,
to that of this country in reference to
the disorderly acts of the students OF
colleges. When the students of the
colleges of Spain trample upon and
burn the U. S. flag, the colleges there
are closed, and the students sent to
their homes; but when the students
of the colleges of this country burn
the Spanish flag and burn in effigy the
infant king of Spain, the colleges here
are not closed, and so far as we have
learned, the students have not been
sent home, nor even reprImanded.

A New Courthouse.

If our Supervisors are not convinced
now that we ought to have a new
Court house nothing can ever convi nc
them. During the Andrews trial
which has just ended, there wer
about 140 witnesses summoned, man,
of whom were women, and some will
young children. These ladies wer,
compelled to remain within the call O
the court, and the only room where
they could be accommodated. or keeI
at all warm or comfortable, was the
county clerks office, and here fol
nearly ten days from morning unit
night, forty or fifty people were crowd
ed, with no seats, weary. half asleep
worm out, uncomfortable, with children
crying, and mothers squatted in
corners or on filthy steps, with not
even so much of comfort or convenience
as glass of water. During all this
time, it was absolutely impossible to
transact business in this office. and
with the long use by the crowd the
Odors became sitting. Then look at
the court-room-packed from morning
till night-the darkest, ding1est den
that ever people sat in, with only a
few windows at one end-the galleries
crowded with negroes splitting down
on the heads of the people below. At
the same time a grandjury was vainly
trying to dispatch some business in an
upper room, and the witnesses before
it had to stand on the steps and in
the lower hall, or on the outside of the
courthouse, for there was neither fire
nor shelter for them-the witnesses in
the Andrews trial having taken up
every particle of space. A fortunate
thing it was, that the weather was
not severe, for then there would have
been positive suffering.
1t is a shame, in such county as
this, that people, and especially
women and children, have to be
dragged to court, and held for days
and weeks probably, and not one
single comfort and convenience pro-
vided for them.
Modesty forbids, through our col
umns, to speak more plainly to our
Supervisors on this subject. but in all
decency they should never let such an
outrage on the public be perpetrated |
again for the lack of a court house |
suitable to the necessities of our PEG.
pie and in accordance with public con-
venience and demand.

relic Of barbarism and build a new
court house
