We are thus particular in stating
what the Legislature did, o.. their
action ha' been miscon-lmcd, and
lH- oeea-Ioncl several very unjust
and di-ugouuou. criticisms from our
cntcmporarlc. ~ the press. These
bills passed both house, by very de-
ended maJortlcs. The net allowing
appeal. and writs Of error without
bond, except for costs, has been ap-
proved aud Is now q law. The act
allowing iniunctlous in certain cases
without bond, was not considered by
the Governor for want of time, and
the net to regulate process allowing
the plaintiff 10 collect annually
twenty-five per cent. OF his iudg-
mcnt, o. our readers are aware, re-
ccivcd the executive veto. None Of
these laws propose to interfere with
the creditor in obtaining his Judgment,
the hen on the property of the
debtor is fully protected, while time
is given the defendant, which would
enable a large number of those who
are embarrassed hut not wholly in
solvent, to pay their debts, and at
the same time save their property
from sacrifice at execution sales.
Few, except those who are inter-
csted in the collection Of old debts
either as plaintiff or attorneys, but
regard some such legislation as Just,
equitable, and really necessary in
the present condition of the country.
The uncxamplcd losses OF the
people during the war, the failure OF
the present crop, the scarcity Of
money, the absolute certainty that all
kinds of property at shcriir's sales
will be sacrificed, appeal strongly to
the Legislature for .ome intcrposi-
tion. OF the three bills plopo !,
there Is but onc-that in reference to
executions--abont which there il any
doubt as TO constitutionality. Many
Of the best lawyers in the State are
satisfied on this question, and believe
that il passed, ii will be sustained as
a law by the High Court. We have
seen nothing so convincing on thi'
subject as the speech of Mr.. Simrall
Of the House of Representatives.
When the Legislature meets in
January, one Of the first questions
for it, consideration will be whether
the bill shall become a law, notwith
standing the executive veto. II th'
people desire the bill passed, let then
80 instruct their members. There !,
ample time Tor this to be done, ant
for Senators and Representatives tc
ascertain the wishes of their con.
stitucnts. Clarion, 81.
