Among the important State Laws, on our
fourth page this week is the new law, making
some radical changes in the present School
Laws, to which we call the attention of our
readers.
There are some other laws of general impor-
lance that our readers will do well to make
note of.
In our last weeks issue on 4th page,we pub
lished several important laws, but had not
space in which to call attention to them
Among those was the law, Regulating the
hour of manual labor, and fixing the same at
Eight hours per day. There are various
opinions in reference to the wisdom or value
of this law. Our own impression is that it
will not have the anticipated effect OF giving
laboring men just as much for Eight hours la
Dor as they have heretofore had for ten-hOurs.
If the Legislature could at the same lime en-
act that seventy five cents is dollar and
make it so, we should have some faith in this
law. 'Time is money" says the axiom. If
labor is decreased one-fifth throughout the
country, it is evident that there must be a
corresponding decrease in production and
men-wOrking men as well as capitals is
must be content with fifth less ofthis worlds
goods, than they now have. No body of legis-
lators can enact that eight acres will yield as
much wheat as ten acres with the same cult
tivation and expect to have nature conform to
the law. But we did not inOend to discuss the
merits either pro or con. We are willing to
| allow every one to enjoy his own opinion upon
the question, confident that the inevitable law
| Of supply and demand will, in the long run,
the same nature.
We also published last week can act for the
preservation of game,' which the people, es-
pecially the disciples of Nimrod, will do well
to make note of.
An act for the compensation of deputy
clerks of the circuit courts in the respectiv G
counties of the State, is another law that will
be interesting to those Clerks whose fees have
heretofore been hardly sufficient to keep body
soul together let alone employing Deputy
however much one might be desired
An other law of some practical Importance
| is one providing for the publication in one or
more papers in each county, of the official can
vass Of general elections, as soon after the
election as the county canvass can be made.
Another law of general interest is that
providing that the County Board of Supervi-
sors shall, at the annual meeting, in Novem-
Der, fix the annual salaries of all county Off
GERS to be elected during the ensuing year,
which salary shall not be increased nor dimin-
| ished during the terms of office for which such
| officers are elected.
| The law in reference to the duties of Regis
tiers of Deeds is one of immediate application.
1t requires the Register of Deeds to record in
a book to be provided for that purpose all GER
titled copies of Sheriffs certificates of sale of
action affecting the real estate, and all no
tees Of tendency of any action affecting the
title Of real estate. Another law ofimportance
to those interested is the law limiting the
time which applications for extra pay for the
relief of Soldiers Families under the provis-
ions of Chap. III, general laws 1864 to the Is
day of November 1865. Those entitled to
State aid under the law of 1864, should attend
to the matter at once.
The law providing for trial by jury in ca
ses Of foreclosure of Mortgages will be quite
an innovation on the established routine of
| foreclosures heretofore.
| The above are some of the laws of more i'm
mediate interest published on the fourth page
of our paper last week. In this connection
we will remark that those of our readers who
wish to keep posted on the General laws of the
State would do well to study our fourth page
for week or two to come.
