plains tirat the Route agents at Prairie
refused to deliver the mails for Aber-
deem, unless a sworn agent of the Post
Office Department, would appear to
receive them. Aberdeen is city OF
more than two thousand inhabitants,
and supports two daily papers. II
would be strange if such population
were to be wholly deprived of mails.
DR.. Geo. Y. Woodward has contract
ed to carry the mail daily from Prairie
to Aberdeen, nine miles, but the con-
tract will not take effect until the first
of next month. The Examiner pro-
poses, if no other arrangement can be
made, to have the iron-clad admins
tered to a negro and send him after the

The Lerislatnre and Relief Law

The Kosciusko Chronicle has
discovered that some of the jackson
papers are elomoring for a call of the
Legislature to pass relief measures
and takes occasion to ventilate eener-
ally against the Legislature and
against the policy of relief laws. We
have not "clamored" for the Cover
nor to convene the Legislature, nor
have we favored the stay law passed
at the last session. Its provisions
were too stringent and the act was
properly decided by the courts to be
unconstitutional. Yet we believe the
Legislature might have passed law
that would have greatly relieved the
debtor class and at the same time been
free from constitutional objection
Another term might have been given
to make up the pleadings, and a forth
coming bond law passed.
The fault with the Legislature was
they tried to go too far. The object
they had was to give the people relief,
but attempting too much they failed
altogether. AS general thing we do
not approve of stay laws, relief laws
or any legislative interference with
contracts. But the situation of the
country at the end of four years war,
in which the great bulk of the wealth
of the State has been destroyed, and
thousands of our people left bankrupt
from no act of theirs, presents an ex-
ceptional case. Debts contracted be-
fore the war were made on the faith OF
property. The war has destroyed
that property, and with it the ability
to pay. In most cases the debtor has
lost since the debt was. contracted
from one-half to four-ffths of his
property, while what he has left is
greatly deprecated in value.
There were many judgments rendered
at the spring term of the courts in
1861, on which executions have is
sued. A great number of other judg-
ments will be obtained at the fall
courts If the same haste is made to
levy the executions that there has been
to sue on the debts, large amount OF
property will be sacrificed at Sheriff 5
sales and great distress exist in every
part of the State.
We believe that legislation extend
ing the time of collecting debts would
be a relief to debtors and at the same
time benefit the creditor The forth
coming bond law has been tried il
this"State, the High Court repeatedly
sustained its eonstitutionality, and il
practice it secured to plaintiff many
judgments that otherwise would have
| been lost.
Industry and economy would enabl,
many to pay their debts and save
remnant of property if the period TO
collection could be extended If thi
could be done, and the legal rights o
the creditor remain unimpaired, tn
effect would prove beneficial to tn,
State.
In speaking of debts we refer en-
tirely to those made before or durin.
the war. There should be no obstacle
to the prompt enforcement of all con
tracts made since that time We d.
not know that this matter is of suffi
cient importance to cause the Cover
nor to convene the Legislature. Tha
discretionary power, we doubt not
will be. exercised, when the Executiv
believes the interest of the State de
mands it. Should they assemble, i
will be matter for their consideration

meratiRg the advantages of being a
woman states that she can say what
she chooses without being kicked
down for it. She can take a snoose
after dinner, while her husband goes
to work. She can go into the street
without being asked to "stand treat
at every saloon. She can stay at home
in time Of war, and get married again
if her husband is killed. She can get
divorced from her husband whenever
she sees one she likes better She
can get her husband in debt all over
until he warns the public not to trust

fact that she cannot sing base, go
