The Courts Of General Sessions
and Cou1snoa Pleas.

=
@Tle experience of the past has
demonstrated that. so far as Sewberry
is concerned, the Counts Of General
Session and Commo fleas should be
$ ysrvd, and hold distinct and
separate terms. Crime has been
50 abundant and the trial Of the sus-
pected SO slow and tedious that ever
siuce the war the usual term of two
weeks has been invariably and ex-
clusively appropriated to the criminal
docket, leaving the civil docket u
touched, thereby working measureless
injury to the monetary affairs of the
County. The trial of criminals las
50 occupied the attention of the Court
that no civil business has been trans
acted in the Common Pleas since the
war. That docket is now loaded with
cases. and it would be difficult mat
ter to tell how long session of unin-
terrupted lsbor it would require to
clear it up. There arc now between
two and three hundred eases awaiting
adjudication in the civil court, the
number is being constantly augmented
and the difficulty of summoning cour-
age to scale their mountainous heights
increasing in the same ratio. 1t would
probably astound the people Of New
berry County if they were told that
there are locked up in the Clerks, the
Probute's and the Sheriff's Office the
sum Of seveuty-fve thousand dollars
awaiting the determination Of who the
rightful owner is, but it is more than
likely that the aforesaid amount falls
short of the truth.
Debtors susp their fingers in the
faces Of their creditors, and in triumph,
say, "Sue, and be d-ned. III contest
the claim aud put it on the docket
| where it will remain forever"
D tempora! 0 mores: the court
sees these things and the people know
them, and yet this dangerous nuisance
lives.
The remedy is contained'in the first
sentence of this article, the courts
should have their respective terms
With an interval between them, Or
what would be better still, a judge
should be provided for each court
The present plan is not iatrins cally
evil, but evil by the circumstances.
If our Judges were men Of indomita-
bic perseverance and iron constitution
the arduous session OF the criminal
court would but 'whet their appetites
and arouse their courage for the more
skilful combats of civil litigation.
But they are not, and We are con-
signed to the misery of hope defer
red"

The bill for the extension of thc time
for the payment of taxes has passed
both Houses and been approved by the
Governor. The limit expires on the 7th
Of March, when the penalty will attach
to all delinqUentS. This act Of the

In the Senate, Mr.. Whittemore intro
duccd Il resolution which WAS agreed
to, that the Committee on Education be
instructed to inquire into the outstand-
ing unpaid schoo! claims Of each county,
and to report :. bill Recommending what
legislation is necessary to Secure the
payment Of said claims. We hope the
Committee will discharge their duty
well, rs the payment Of these claims is
important to the community at large rs

Senator Corwin introduced bill 70
make appropriation for the payment Of
the outstanding pay certificates and
bills payable.
Mr.. Johnston introduced a bill to ;,u-
thorize the County Treasurers of the
State to receive. in payment Of taxes,
the audited account Of the S erifs,
Clerks Of County Courts, poor house
claims, jurors tickets and County Com
missioners' claims.
The satanic head of the Blue Ridge
Scrip once more appeared in the Sen
ate last week causing some co:nmotion,
bat 4 few judicious pokes from some Of
the Senators caused it to disappear for
a while under IN Indefinite postpone
ment.
Last Saturday both houses were star-
tied by 4 communication of F. l.. Car
| doZa, the State Treasul er. on the sub
ject of "bills payable" There is big
mistake somewhere. according to
records in the Treasurer's Office, there
remained in January, 1873, L balance
of outstanding bills payable Of Sl92,-
724.96. In the same month, commit
tee, authorized by concurrent resolution
to register outstanding Legislative pay
certificates and bills payable, reported
| lnat tney registered SZbO.3ub.S3 OF Olils
payable-being S6S, ,23l more than was
recorded in the Treasurer's Office. On
the 9TH inst Il portion Of this excess, in
the shape fa bill payable for $4,000,
WAS presented for payment at the Treas
ury by the President Of the South Caro-
lima Bank and Trust Company. Ii
was neither lettcred, nor numbered,and
there is no receipt which shows that
Legislative certificates were given in ex-
change fol- it."
In the Treasurer's communication
was also contained statement to the
effect that the President Of the Soutl
Carolina Bank and Trust Company had
attached without law SG9,00O, which
had been deposited by the State in thai
bank. 4 committee was appointed by
each house to investigate these matters

AN IMPORTANT BIIL.-The House
bin providing for the redemption Of
lands sold for taxes, which was sent
by the Senate to the committee on the
judiciary, has received seyera! impor-
,ant amendments. The bill covers al!
of those numerous cases relatinc to
Ibis subject, that almost daily appear
IN the shape of joint resolutions
The amendments of Senator White
more, snow understood. provide, first:
FOR redemption by the owners paying
taxes and costs only, secondly, prov'-
ding: for judgment holders, mort
cages, etc, to redeem the same, by
pay,nent of the taxes and costs; third,
in the event that, successfully, bosh
the parties fail to redeem, the State
NAV sell for not less than the lands
were assessed for the last time pre-
y;ous to the sale.
Payments are to be optional; that
is, in one, two and three yearly Install
!nents, or all at once. The Governor,
in case of sale by the State, IS to issue
letters patent for the property-the
urocceds-less taxes and costs-to be
devoted to educational purposes in the
uonnty where said property is situated.
Besides the various equitable points
covered BY Mr. Wh:ttemore's amend
meuts, the bill does awsy with the uu-
,aerous resolutions that are being 90
frequently introduced in tho General
Assembly for the recovery of. lands.
