TUE PRESIDENTS HESS AUK.
President Hajes has sent in a long
message to Congress the burden of |
which is, the elections.in the South.
Mr. Hayes thinks that these elections
have been unfair, and need investiga
tion, and doubtless wishes that the
Democratic members of Congress
from this section should not receive
or retain thoir seats. It seems im
possible for men to look at and deal
-with others as they would themselves. |
If the people of the North were
placed in the same position .idm: we
are, and bail the same politicjebpro
blem to grapple with, would they dp
any better than we do? We would'
like to see the tables turned for a
short time merely for the experiment.
Wc would sec then if they would
practice so devoutly what they are
now preaching. It is very good to
stand off at a distance in safe and soft
places and talk morality and religion
to us; but to practice it, when sub
jected, to the trial, is what proves the
man. - We are rather inclined to
think that human nature is not much
different the world over.
"Wc all want fair elections and we
?will have them too if left alone nud
given time to work out our political
problem. The subject is now engag
ing the minds of all our leading men.
Eleetious must bo fair, and at the
same time our civilization must be
maintained. If the blind partisan
ship and fanatical legis lation of the
North is to ruin the .South, we'wottld
ask in preference to be treated as a
conquered subject and'be given mili
tary rule. This is better than Radi
cal plundering to which the fore
shadowed narrow national policy
V 11 lead.
There are oilier parts of the mes
sage which are worthy and we hope
will receive attention. The Recom
mendation for national aid in educa
tion in the stales is very proper.
The state appropriations are inade
quate to the purpose, and wc hope
that this scheine will be carried out.
TAXING DEBTS AS PROPERTY.
A correspondent of the''News and
Courier" brings to the attention of ]
that paper that, under the existing
laws, taxes are paid twice on the same
piece of property by the system of
taxing the property and then the
bond and mortgage given for the
same property, if il is sold.
For instance, if Mr. A. has $1000
surplus money he pays a tax upon it,
and if that money is safely invested,
be also pays a tax upon it. If Mr.
Ik borrows that $1000 and pays for
a tract of land, he pays taxes on the
land, w hile a tax is also paid oil the
mortgage, so that the same piece of
property is paying the Slate tw ice
This is a diilicult question of taxa
tion which affects other Slates be
sides South Carolina; but it certain
ly ought not to be as it is, . ml we call
the attention of Olli' Legislators to the
mutter.
The "News aud Courier"' suggests
the following remedy:
?'Now it is plainly wrong toTtuxn
man twice on the same property, and
we most earnestly advise the South
Carolina Legislature! to take t his mat
ter into consideration. 'I ber?' are
two ways of meeting the diflleulty.
One is', to exempt from the taxable
value of properly the whole ainotllil
of encumbrances upon it, so that the
person who holds and lends, not the
person who receives and owes, shall
alone pay the tax. The other und
belter plan is, to> exempt from taxation
every mortgage deed. In this way
the person whojonds li a thousand
dollars knows that he w ill get the
[ate of interest that was agreed upon,
Without any rebate or reduction. The
lortgnge is an evidence of debt and
is utterly absurd to make what one
^ves pay as if it were something that
lc had."
(The Fair! The Fair!! The Fair!!!
Kmc bill the brave deserve the Fair!
Jn some ejrcles a question bnB
arisen as to the practical Workings
and benefits of 1 he Oowor law as it
now stands in our State, and Jthc nt
tontion of the Legislature is invited
to the matter. As the law now stands
the widow is entitled to dower in all
lands alienated by her Khsband dur
ing the coverture in which she lias
not f?'r?i?rly relinquished her right.
As a cousequence of this in ti o sale
of all lands by a married man his
wife's relinquishmctrt of dower must
be taken before a magistrate at great
inconvenience and the additional ex
pense of t wo dollars.
The arguments urged against the
present law are, that it increases the
cost of examining titles; that it cau&'e?^
greai inconvenience iu all troragfgflfl
of property-, that it works iuiniiou
and unjustly to all pu
lose by it one-third .
what they pay for; and tin t .
ried women, und er t I?o new ????ntriff?'.

LAWYER'S FEES.
A lively discussiou sprung up in
the Legislature on a bill introduced
to limit the fees of lawyers. The leg
al members of the House rushed to
the rescue with considerable alacri
ty.
It was urged by the projectors and
supporters of the bill that lawyers
fees were often ruinous, and in many
cases consumed the whole of the
estates to be settled. Air. Ward.the
father of the bill, cited cases in Edge
field in which estates were almost en
tirely consumed by the cost of settl
ing them. Mr. Barber said that
costs were now so high that, although
he was a guardian tor three estates,
he would not settle them, because be
knows theytvouldjbc absorbed by the
costs.
Major McCrady, Col. Simon ton and
others opposed the bijl. /Elie_foruim
said thut Hie elieajFer litigation was
made the more there would be of it,
and therefore be favored the fee bill
as it was. Col. Simon ton took the
same ground. IK: thought the pas
sage of the bill would open the door
to useless litigation.
After a hot light the bill was killed
by a vote of 72 to 43, and the law
yers fee bill stands as it is, unscathed
hy the assault.
The blind partisanships of the
colored people, is, perhaps, exhibited
in nothing more forcibly than their
refusal to vote for the proposed
Amendment to the Homestead, law
appended to the Democratic ticket in
the recent election. The object was
to extend the law so that those who
owned no land could get $500 ex
emption of personal property. It
was therefore intended for the bene
fit of the poor man.
