South CAROLINA BoNDs.-In the
financial article of the New York
World, of the 4th instant, wo find
the following:
In the now South Cardinals there
IVES large business transacted out
side the Stock Exchange, and $500, 900
bonds were bought by some banks and
savings banks at .86 to 81. These
purchases on the introduction of n
bill into the State Senate, which prom
ises to become law, which will tend
to materially enhance tho credit of
tho State of South Carolina. This
bill creates q commission, ,csignatcd
as the Sinking Fund Commission, and
authoriscs the samo to sell the public
lands and other property of the State,
including 100000 to s3,OOO,oOO of
railroad and other securities belong.
ing to the Treasury, and to employ
the proceeds of all this property to
tho purchase and retirement of the
State debt, on the principle of Secre-
tary Boutwcll's sinkiug g-fund opera
tons for the General Government.
1t estimated that this measure would
place at the disposal of tho commits
sion at least s2,oOO,ooo during the
present year, for the extinguish mcnt
of the debt of the State. If this
bill becomes a. law, tho credit of
the State of South Carolina would
probably take equal rank with that
of California and Massachusetts,, the
only two States which have paid
their interest in gold, and whose
bonds rank high both here and in
Europe, and sell at and above par in
gold.

Our Judicial System.

A number Of our exchanges pro
giving expression to the wcll-foundcd
complaint, that in many Counties
tho criminal businc g, occupies almost
the cptire time of the Court, to the
neglect of tho civil business of the
term; and the Chesterfield Democrat,
the Greenviile Mountaineer, and the
Anderson InteNigeneer, suggest as a
remedy for the evil the establishment Of
separate tribunals for the trial Of civil
aud criminal causes. With proper
Difference to tho opinion of our cs-
tccmed contemporaries, we do not sec
however, what is to be gained merely
by separation Of the tribunals. If
tho object is to dispatch tho busin css
promptly and efficiently, and at the
least expense, the Judges must sition-
ger and work harder. Under our
old system two terms wcrc all suffi-
cient for the dispatch of the civil and
criminal business Of the District, and
surely tho iucreasc of crime has not
been such, that an additional term of
tho Court is Insufficient to meet its
requirements. Is it proposed to cs-
tablish additional judges drawing the
large pay of the present officers9 If
the civil and criminal business bc as
signed to different courts, this will
be necessary for they equally require
enlarged judicial learning, experience,
and ability. But is there any necessity
for the additional expense?
: Tho evil seems to arise from The
multiplication of petty causes,
which should either not como iuto a
court of justice, or should be dis
patched summariiy before the inferior
jurisdiction. To send these to the
higher court, is to be guilty of the
bluRder of employing costly machine
1y to do inferior work. Judge Orr
at Edgefeld or Anderson, and Judge
Vernon at .Abbevillc, arc weeks en-
ployed, With q retinue of learned
counsel, witnesses and jurors, at the
expense of hundreds Of dollars day
to the State, in deciding cases which
call for tho imposition only of slicht
.ponaity, and which any police Judge,
'or justice of tho quarter sessions is
equally competent to decide.
Magistrates under our present sys-
tenn have enlarged powers, let them
exercise them. Let them discard all
trivial causes, or .clse try them them
selves. There will thus be only a
tnediGum of this business for tho
Superior Courts, and thus the civil
business will,be takca mp and dispatch.
ed, the dockets cleared, and importu-
nate 'suitors will at Inst cease to hurl
inapreeations upon "the laws delay"
The sum then of what we asavc
said, is simply this-shat in cur ,opin-
don, the present machinery is amply
sufficient for the legal 'business of the
country, if worked to its utmost ca
.paoity. -. q.

COST OF GOVERNING THE WEST INDIA
ISLANDS.

The government of the West India Islands by
this country is so cumbrous and costly that these
dependencies have no chance of prosperity, and
the mother country has little benefit from her
possessions. The chief curse, to which thieSS are
subjected is a monstrous swarm of officials, who
prey upon the colonists, and draw away from the
islands the capital which would otherwise tfuctity
in the dependencies themselves. Let us take for
example the group of the Leewards Islands, com
prising St. Kits, Antigua, Nevis, Montserrat, and
Dominica, for the purpose of ascertaining the
amount of their population and mmerce and to
investigate the manner in which they are ruled.
The five islands we have named have an ag-
gregate area less than one-third of the county OF
Norfolk, while the portion which could be cultiva-

New YORK, August 23.-The first of
the new crop of Carolina rice was re-
ceived here to-day, and is the earliest
arrival of this staple recorded by nearly
three weeks. The season in most sec
tions is reported rs favorable.
RALEIGH, August 23 In the case of
the State against Wiley, t:,c evidence for
the prosecution, closed. Nothing posi-
tive was developed. kirk's case for
contempt is still under consideration in
the District Court. The Judge dis
charged sixteen moro of Kinks guard,
who produced prisoners and attempted
to enter the Court room with arms The
Judge ordered the Marshal to restrain
them, remarking: No armed soldiers
will be allowed in this Court When
necessary, will ask for them.
Kinks Lieutenant Colonel, Bergen, is
under arrest in this city, for not observ-
ing his bail. Quite crowd is in the
city, and much interest is manifested.

The Steele says the 100000, 600 loan
has been more than taken. It seems
certain that o project has been brought
before the great powers to prevent the
dismemberment of Franco. Assurances
have been sent to the Pope by the French
Government that Italy has no intention
of attacking Rome.
MADRID, August 23.-The Government
has taken measures to repress instantly
any revolutionary outbreak.
LONDON, August 23.-It is reported
that the Crown Prince has abandoned
the march on Paris and gone to the
support of the Prussian armies West of
Metz, which is threatened by formidable
attacks from Bazaine reinforced by
NIcNIahon.
A despatch from Alexandria says the
frigato Hcrthn, twenty eight guns, was
captured by the French.
LONDON, August 23.-Nothing Official
from either army since yesterday. Pri-
vate advices assert that the Chalons
army is moving toward Theonville, in q
desperate effort to effect junction with
Bazaine, thus escaping the Prince Royal
and passing the German army North of
Veidun. McN1ahon is left n choice of
two evils, either to leave the road to
Paris open or, bylholding it, sacrifice Ba-
zaine.
A special to the Courier des Etas Nmis
says there are preparations for combat
all along the lines.
Paris is virtually in state of siege.
1t is generally conceded that the issue
of the campaign will be decided under
our walls, if we are able to hold out for
week, and We are able against an en- emy
destitute OF material for carrying on q
siege. All France will come to the sue
cor Of tho capital.
