Talk of Military Government in
Louisiana

Dr. Redf4ld, correspondent OF the Cncia-
nat Commercial, telesraphs from New Orleans
that the indications are that The Republican
leaders there will favor a military government
for louisiana He SAYS here isl growing inn
preston among them that it will be impossiole
for a Republican State Government 10 sustain
itself aud execute its laws, even though sus-
tanned by the National Government. They
are about satisfied, it is said that the people
are so convinced that the Democratic party
carried the State fairly at the iae election that
they will respect and obey only Democratic
or military government. The correspondent
adds that several members of the House inves-
tigating committee now 10 New Orleans have
about come to the same conclusion. The DEM
ocrais of Louisiana would doubtless greatly
prefer a military government 10 the rule OF
the political cormorants who have held high
carnival there since the war, 5ankTupung the
people and involving every interest in chaos.

Tho Homestead Law.

A recent decision Of tho state
supreme court sets ut rcst Il Qucs
ton that has long lcon aHitntol and
That IS of great interest to tlse bust
ness community. A party in
Charleston mortSagod tho premises
on which no resided, as security for
money lcnt him by Il building md
loan association. The circuit Judge
before whom the case WAS tried
hold that tho borrower was entitled
to his homestead exemption, and
ordered that certain portion Of the
proceeds of snlo bo paid to him.
From this decision tho associati ON
appealed, and the supreme court
unanimously sustained tho appeal.
Tho opinion fled in tho case SAYS ::
"Ihcro is no doubt but that Enslow
| tho ccFcndnni ! could make q valid
mortgage A homestead had mover
been actually set apart. Tho
homestead provisions do not in
terms prevent tho owner of lands
from mort;raSipg them.
Iho sale for foreclosure WAS not
forbidden by tho constitution us il
regards The homestead in onustiolr
and the mortgagor has no right to
claim Gny part of tho proceeds of
sale by reason OF tho alleged occu-
patton Of the mortgagcd premises
rs family homestead" This
decision will work no h;lrlu. When
" person mortgages propcrty as
security for debt, he docs so with
the full knowledge that the proper
ty is liablo to sale for such dobt.
Whatever hardship ,oay DO done
to mans family in such u case
must be traced to the mans own
act and not to tho nntuue of the
creditors claim. The decision is
or peculiar interest to building md
loan associations, as s1oh bodies
lcnd their funds upon scarcely any
security other than that of n
mortgage upon real estate. It will
now bc much less difficult to raise
money upon mortgages.

The True Policy,

Several Of the ,newspapersaof tho
state.arc deyoting much discussion
to the proper policy to DO pursued
by tho democratic party lin tho ap-
paoaching campaign. This is almost
q waste of timo and words. The
first and the great ond to 10 accom-
plishcd now, is comploto organiza-
ton. When that shall have boon
done, thoro will be ample timo and
ample opportunity to determine. tho
right platform upon which the party
is to act. That thcro is diversity
Of opinion upon this subject is true,
and such diversity is not only
natural but necessary. Ono great
point to DO gainol by thorough or
ganization is full opportunity for
an olchango of opinions. Tho
state convention should be 30 con-
stitutcd as to DO fully representa-
two in it's character, and tho dele
gatos should bo permitted to go,
untrammelled by any instructions
or limitations Of action from the
county organizations. Thoro arc
many grayo questions to DO settled
by tho people before they enter
upon tho next canvass, and these
oan best DO disposed of by a proper
ly constituted state convention. All
efforts at prosont should DO directed
towards an organization of tho
honost people, that they may como
togethor, dispassionately discuss tho
issues at stake, and then determine
upon that limo Of action which may
SOON wisost, and surest Of SUCCESS.
We arc by no means to bo under
stood as considering tho question
az to democratic policy an idle one.
1t il, on tho contrary, ono OF the
gravest and most difficult to handle,
that have ever been presented to The
people Of South Carolina But wo
think any discussion us to tho right
policy premature at this time All
ondoavoys should DO directed to
wards bringing tho pooplo together,
and prcparinS tholn for such ac-
ton rs may at tho proper timo and
by tho proper authority DO deter
mined upon.

gcIleral. That the Whipper-Leslie
combination should oppose the
goyfrnor'smeasures, we ore by no
means SURPRISED! True, they we're
hhissI1@post ssI1@p Snthusiastic advocates in
the last election: it was to theil, in
terest to be such. Tho party had,
under tho three administrations
previous to tho present, won
nothi4ag bptdishonor, disgust and
shdnie,, and it WIS necessary that q
strong man be put forward to
rescue it from lower depths of
infamy and from final annihilation.
Chamberlain wis selected, and from
tho beginning Of his gubornatorial
career he has surprised his oppo-
nents and disappointed many of his
former supporters by acting; in the
line of truo reform. And the more
he has endcavorcd to keep his
pledges, tho moro hus he been
condemned and abused by the
leaders of his party. We arc not
surprised at tho stand taken by
most n of tho ring politicians, but we
confess wo had expected of Attor-
ney General Melton something
botter than is attributed to him by
tho loyal commissioner. If he has
boon correctly represented in the
matter. the public will not be slow
to- conclude that all his professions
in 'the'past have been insincore, and
that heIs quite rs bad as any Of tho
corrupt crew who are now opposing
Goyernor Chamberlain for doing
what he promised. But tho COVER
norris suspected ofgoing over to the
democracy. Of this wo do not be-
lieye him guilty. The charge thus
made would seem to provo con
seriousness Oh the part of tho radi-
calls that honesty is not real
clement in their platform of princi-
pies. If honesty of action and
fidelity to pledges make man a
democrat and prevent him from
being n republican, it is about time
for the ruling party to "stcp down
and out" and admit their un
worthiness to have charge OF
the public welfare. Yet such would
seem to be the impression conveyed
by the spirit and action of the
radical party towards Governor
Chamberlain. AS wo have before
said, his chief support now lies in
those who most bitterly opposed his
election-tho democrats und the
independent republicans. These
labored hard for his defeat, because
his previous career was not such as
to encourage tho hope that he
would be true 10 his plcdgcs-thcir
sole object being the publication of
tho state government. Truo to the
principles enunciatcd i4a their plat
form, they no sooner found HIM
endcavoring to reform abuses than
they gaye him a support as vail, bic
to him as it is honorable TO them.
From these two sources must como
his chief strength in future. The
attorney generals dcscrtiom would
cause him mo great harm.

The School Funds.

BY reference to table Of school
fdnds published elsewhere, it will
DO seen that Fairfield county is
adjudged entitled to S3,342.O5. The
taxable property in tho county is
stated in tho auditors estimate for
tho last fiscal yoar to be S4,27G, ,O34 ;
and levy of two mills--tho regular
state tax for public schoola-would
produce $S,552.O6. 1t will bo seen,
therefore, that by tho unreasonable
and unjust method of apporton
ment now pursued, tho county re,
ceives much loss than half of tho
Sum paid by the people for the sup
port Of tho schools. Tho best plan
would be to keep tho levy for
schools in the county, just as the
county tax of thrco mills is retained.
This would encourage tho people to
establish and maintain schools, il.
eyory noighborhood, and make them
much rcatGcr to bear their share OF
tho burden Of taxation.
Tho totn} sum to DO malizod for
schools in Fairfield (not deductine
delinquent taxos) is $7,718.22. Tho
school commissioner estimates that
thoro aro in the county about seven
ty teachers, whose average monthly
pay is $25. The expenses Of all
the schools Nonld therefore bc about
S1,S0O a. month. At this rate, If the
local tax were cV1,ally divided, the
schools could bo kept up in tho cn-
hro county for four months. But
in some townships there is no local
fund, and allowing for delinquent
taxes, contingent expenses, etc, it is
safo to say that tho school term will
not average moro than throu months.
