THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Hayes has sent in a long
message to Congress the burden of
which is, the elections in the South.
Mr.. Hayes thinks that these elections
have been unfair, and need investiga
tlon, and doubtless wishes that the
Democratic members of Congress
from this section should not receive
or retain their seats. It seems i'm
possible fol mch to look at and deal
with others as they would themselves.
If the people of The North we're
placed in the same positiorGthats8.e
are, and had the same politic;E pro-
blcm to grapplc with, would theyd6
any better than we do? We would,
like to see the tables turned for q,
short time merely for the experiment.
We would see then if they would
practice so devoutly what they arc
now preaching. 1t is very good to
stand off at a distance in safe and soft
places and talk morality and religion
to us; but to practice it, when sub
jected to the trial, is what proves the
man. We are rather inclined to
think that human nature is not much
different the world over.
We all want fair elections and we
will have them too left alone and
given time to work out our political
problem. The subject is now cngag
ing the minds of all our leading men.
Elections must be fair, and at-the
same time our civilization must be
maintained. II the blind partisan
ship and fanatical lcgisl lation of the
North is to ruin the South, weiwould
ask in preference to be treated as a
conquered subject and be given mill
tary rule. This is better than Radi-
cal plundcring to which the fore
shadowcd narrow national policy
', Il lead.
There arc other parts OF the mes
sage which arc worthy and we hope
will receive attention. The recon-
mcndation for national aid in educa
tion in the states is very proper.
The state appropriations are made
quatc to the purpose, and we Eope
that this scheme will be carried out.

TAXING DEBTS AS PROPERTY.

A correspondent of the "Nows and
Courier brings to the attention Of
that paper that, under the existing
laws, taxes arcpaid twice on the same
piece of property by the system of
taxing the property and then the
bond and mortgage given for the
same property, if il is sold
For instance, if Mr. \. has $1,000
surplus money he pays q tax upon it,
and if that money is safely invested.
he also pays tax upon it. If Mr..
B. borrows that $1,000 and pays for
tract ofland, he pays taxes on the
land, while Il tax is also paid on the
mortgage, SO that the same piece of
property is paying the State twice.
This is II difficult question oftaxa-
tion which affects other States he
sides South Carolina; but it certain
ly ought not to be as it is, nd we call
the attention Of our Legislators to the
matter.
The News and Courier" suggests
the following remedy:
"Now it is plainly wrong to tax
man twice on Che same properly, and
we most earnestly advise The South
Carolina Legislature TO take THE mat
ter into consideration. There are
two ways Of meeting The difficulty.
One is, to exempt from The taxable
value Of property the whole amount
Of encumbranccs upon it, so that the
person who holds and lends, not the
person who receives and owes, shall
alone pay the tax. The other md
6eHcr plan is, to exempt from taxation
every mortgage deed. In this way
the person wh0aends B Il thousand
dollars knows that he will get the
Agatc ofintcrest that was agreed upon,
lithout any rebate or reduction. The
Rortgagc is IN evidence of debt and
is utterly absurd to make what one
svcs pay as if it were something that
&c had"

The blind partisanships of the
colored people, is, perhaps, exhibited
in nothing more forcibly than their
refusal to vote for the proposed
Amendment to the Homestead. law
appended to the Democratic ticket in
tie recent election. The object was
to extend the law SO that those who
owned no land conld get $500 cx-
emption of personal property 1t
was therefore intended for the bcnc-
fit of the poor man.

LAWYERS FEES.

A lively discussion sprung up in
the Legislature on bill introduced
to limit the fees Of lawyers. The leg
al members of the House rushed to
the rescue with considerable aiacri-
ty.
1t was urgcdby the projectors and
supporters Of the bill that lawyers
fees were often ruinous, and in many
cases consumed the whole of the
estates to be settled. Mr.. Ward. the
father of the bill, cited cases in Edge
tield-in which estates were almost en-
tirely consumed by the cost of settl-
ing them. Mr.. Barber said that
costs were now so high that, although
he was Il guardian for three estates,
he would not settle them, because he
knows theywouldEbc absorbetlby the
costs.
Majcr McCrady, Col Simontun ant
others opposed the bill, The fnrnanr
said thut the cheaper litigation was
made the more there would be of it. F.
and therefore be favored the fee bill
rs it was. Col. Simonton took the
same ground. He thought the pas
sage of the bill would open the door
to useless litigation.
After lot fight the bill was killed
by vote Of u to 43, and the law
ycrs fee bill stands us it is. unscathed
by the assault.

THE pOMER.

- lns someIcircles a question has
arisen as to the practical @orkings
and benefits of the Dover Law as it
now stands in our State, and the at-
tention of the Legislature is sinvited
to the matter. As thelaw now stands
the widow is entitled to dowefin ali
lands alienated by her Husband dur
ing the. coverture in which she has
not formerly relinquished her right.
AS consequence Of this in IL sale
OF all lands by a married man his
wlie's relinquishment Of dover must
be taken before u magistrate at great
Inconvenience and the additional ex-
pense. OF two dollars.
The arguments urged against the
present law are, that it increases the
costof examining titles; that it causes
great Inconvenience in all tralEsstfegs
of property, that it works i1fufiousbf
and unjustly to all purchasers wt q
lose by it third oIronc 81 4

proposition was received with due consideration

Democratic members OF Congress are daily
receiving written protests from the prominent
men OF their party throughout the country
against the adoption OF the Randall plan OF
early adjournment. These protests are coming
from the north and the south, and the wisest
men OF the party join In advising against any
thing like hasty legislation. A letter received
to-day by member, from a democratic gov
ernor OF state. says Congress had better re-
main In session all the year than to neglect the
public interests or let them suffer by hasty
adjournment; that a hurried adjournment
means Tasty and ill-considered legislation. for
which the democratic party will be held to
strict responsibility. This writer thinks no
better scheme to benefit the republican party
could be devised, and hopes the democratic
party win not be drawn into It.

discovering any tidings whatever. The officers
who conducted the search felt confident that
the ATLANTA had foundered at sea, but they
hoped to find some sign that would tend to
how what had been the fate OF the ship.
