DELINQUENT LAND SALES. Il

The following extracts from recent dis
cussion of the Supreme Court of this State on
the above subject, presents matters of general
interest: 81 80
It will be perceived by Section ia, that no
deed was to be made "for any real estate sold
at delinquent land sale until the expiration of
two years." and by section 116 of the same
act, that land sold at any such delinquent sale
might "be redeemed at any time within two
years from and after such SALE" Therefore, it
is clear, that when land was sold at any such
delinquent land sale such land might be.re-
deemed at any time within two years, or
before the deed Of conveyance was made to
the purchaser; but after the two years had
expired, the purchaser was entitled to the
deed as the title passed to the purchaser, and
there could be no redemption. go
The said section of the act of Assembly of
September 18th, 1868, was amended by the act
of Assembly of March 10, 1872, (acts of A.
1S71-'72, p. 1857 Section ia was amended
by striking out the words "two years." and in
serting in lieu thereof the words "ninety days."
Thereby declaring that mo deed should be
made for real estate sold at delinquent land
sale until the expiration of "ninety days."
Section 116, which defines the limit of the
time for redemption, as striking out the words
"two years" wherever the same appears there
in, and inserting in lieu thereof "ninety days."
Section III, which defines the mode of re-
demption, and requires persons desiring to re-
deem to. commence action within q certain
time; such action by the said section of the
act was to be commenced "within one year
after the date thereof, or within one year after
the expiration Of the disabilities named in
the preceding section" (section 1867 This
section was amended by striking out the
words zone year" wherever the same appeared
therein, and inserting in lieu thereof "thirty
days." and by striking out the words two
years" wherever the same appears therein, and
inserting the words NINETY days in lieu there
Of
Therefore, if person whose real estate has
been sold for delinqent taxes since the passage
of the act of March 18th, 1872, wishes to re-
deem such real estate, such person must COM
mence action for such redemption within thir-
ty days from the time of ssle or from the time
of the removal of such disabilities mentioned
in section 116, and as no deed should be made
until the expiration of ninety days, such per-
son has ninety days in which to redeem such
real estate and, after the expiration of ninety
days, no redemption can be had of real prop
erty sold under the above named act, unless
action to redeem should be stayed by due pro.
cess of law.

FACTS.

It is universally admitted that South
Carolnans are a disconted people. Nearly
every planter is ready to sell out, pack up
and leave for some place where things are, as
he supposes, better. What are the facts in
the case? South Carolinians are agricultu.
rists. To this they have been educated. The
mass of our people know nothing about any
thing else. We have facilities for manufac.
turing, but we are by no means disposed to
avail ourselves of these natural facilities
Now how does South Carolina compare as an
agricultural country with other sections Of
the United States? Taking all things into
consideration, we venture the assertion that
there is not another State in the Union which
has so many agricultural advantages In
some States more of some particular produc,
ton of the soil can be made; but so far as va.
riety of productions and certainty Of crops
are concerned, South Carolina stands unri.
vailed. Never, within the history of any liv,
ing man, has there been an entire failure OF
crops in South Carolina. In many Of her
sister Southern States it is no uncommon thing
for the cotton crop to be totally cut off by
rot, caterpillar, boil worm or something else
In some Of the best cotton growing States
about one crop in three years is all that is
made. We dread long droughts in South
Carolina. but the droughts in any and every
other section of the United States, are as
common and often more severe. In the mid.
die and upper sections Of South Carolina, the
soil and climate are admirably adapted both
to'the raising of cereals and cotton. Wheat
rye, oats, barley and corn do we'll on soil
which produces good crops of cotton. Glover
and timothy, and in fact all Of the better
kinds of grass, grow we'll in the upper and
middle sections of the State. South Carroll.
ma, as farming country, has as many advan'
tages, and as few drawbacks as any State in
the Union. The government of the State we
admit is unfavorable This we from our
heart deplore. 1t is pity that any people
possessing so many natural advantages, should
be oppressed by such freak as is the govern
ernment of South Carolina.

atty, only six months ago, the increase in the
ratio of crime has been enormous, and this
fact, coupled with the Interpretation of the
law by the courts in the case of capital felons,
has already created in some places determi-
nation to resort to lynch law and administer
unauthorized vengeance.

there's way" and it was no uncommon sight
in the environs of the burnt district to see
many Of these gentry quietly standing in the
streets, ornamented with "corporation brace
lets" awaiting their removal to place where
there would be little danger Of getting their
garments scorched.
THE SUFFERING
Of poor people in that portion of the city
where tenement houses were burned was very
great. Old men and women, with children
and sick people were obliged to exchange the
comforts of warm rooms for the open streets.
Those persons who were 80 sick as to be bed
ridden were carried into houses where it SEEM
ed impossible for the fire to reach, but in
many cases the worst was realized and the
temporary abiding places were swept before
the fury the blaze. At one place hundreds
Of the homeless poor were collected, and their
condition was pitiful indeed. In many in
stances inmates of the honses escaped with
nothing but their night-clothes. AS the fresh
breeze chilled the women and children, rough
looking men, with warm hearts, procured ar
ticles of bedding and carefully wrapped up
the suffering ones. The terrors of the fire Of
ten affected weak human nature, and many
instances of fainting and occasional loss of
reason occurred.
To add to the horrors of the situation, gas.
pipes exploded in many places, and the city
for nights was in

current circulation, and by some has been
questioned as savoring of irreverence. The
author, therefore, owes it to his orthodoxy to
declare that no irreverence was intended, even
to the dollar itself, which he is aware is daily
becoming more and more an object of wor-
ship"
The advance in the price of copper has
called out many hidden stores of the metal,
and steamships from foreign ports bring large
quantities oft to New York for sale. Forty
seven huge bronze cannons recently arrived
at New York from Mexico and were placed
in bond at the Empire stores in Brook lyn.
Ananalysis of the metal at the United States
Assay Office, shows that it is composed of
ninety-fveper cent. copper, and FIVE per cent.
of tin, both metals being of the best and finest
qualities. The weights range from 5000 to
1000 pounds each. The guns came from
Vera Cruz, where, with many others of the
same character, they had been recently con-
demned. E. A. & G. R. Meneely of West
Troy, N. Y, have just received fifty tons of
the cannoDs above alluded to, which they will
manufacture into bells.
- The question of capital punishment has
excited much comment and discussion. The
effect of its abolition in Iowa does not seem to
give satisfaction in that State. The Northern
Iowa Synod of the Presbyterian Church, at
its last session in Dubuque, passed resolu-
ton declaring that the action of the last Leg
islature, in abolishing capital punishment and
substituting therefor imprisonment for life,
was hasty and unwise, and recommending to
all Christian people that petitions be circula-
ted looking to the restoration of the law as it
formerly stood. Their action has been en-
dorsed by most of the leading journals of the
State, one of which, the Waterloo Journal
states that since the repeal of the death pen
