The State Constitution.

The ALboville Press and Banner regards
the present constitution Of South Carolina az
without an equal in thcso United States"
and opposes oil changes and amendments.
While we care but little about tho tenure of
Office Of tho Governor, mcmbers of tho Log
islature, &C., or whether the sessions 10 an
nual or biennial, we think there are defects
in our organic law which should be rcmcdied.
We desire no changs in the bill of rights or
provision for elccting Judges every four
years does not meet our approval, yet this
could stand without much detrimcnt. We
do chjcct. however, to those provisions which
attempt to define the jurisdiction Of courts of
inferior jurisdiction and the election Of JUS
tices of the Peace and Constables by the
people. The question Of tho true jnrsdic-
diction Of Probnto Courts has cost litigants
thousands Of dollars in this State and we do
net believe there is a lawyer or Judge in tho
State who properly understands it to day.
Whether Trial Justices are properly invested
with the Jurisdiction given them by statute
has been often litigated. and as to Consablcs
there is not lawfully appointed one n the
State. If the constitution had designated
these courts and officers and gave them such
jurisdiction as the Legislature might confer
by law, then no conflict between tho cons,i-
tuition and statutes would have taken place.
We think general provision rs to tho crea,
ton and Jurisdiction Of inferior courts would
have been better. Tboro arc many amond~
ments, which, On examination. might inn
provo the instrument. but, as VIC stated be-
foro, we arc not willing to advocate conven.
tion at this time.

Seneca City.

we spent q day last Friday in Tho noighbor-
hood Of Senccn City, and part OF the time In
that aourishing town. Wo found the crops very
littlo better than about Walhalla. the drought
and heat showing their blighting influence on
both corn md cotton. The lands appear to
have been we'll cultivated and will yield over a
half crop, but far short Of an average In
driving out into the country VIC met several
loads Of cotton, somc going to the gin, and
others baled and being carried to market. Wo
understood cotton was bringing l04 cents. II
oil accounts of the cotton crop be correct tho
staple will 60 higher as the yield in the Cotton
States is estimated at one half to Two thirds Of
ON average crop. The rise will not likely take
place until the liens for fertilizers and advances
| are paid of, rs the settlement of these claims
press large proportion of the crop into mar
ket in tho fall.
The dny was so warm that we did not stir
| about town much, but wo noticed improvements
were going up at several places. Tho oommo-
dious dwelling house OF Mr.. NJ. w. Coleman
appears from tho outside to be completed md
presents an imposing appearance. Wo noticed
a new two story building also being put up by
Stribling Ramsay, nenr the one heretofore
finished by them.
good deal of cotton was coming in and the
stir Of trade and noise Of trains coming and
going gayo I" lively business appearance 10 the
town. With the completion of Tho B!uo Ridge
Road Scnccn will enjoy advantages equal or
| superior to any town in tho State, and will
doubtless extend her limits and population
rapidly.
We spent our leisure time in Seneca ut the
Kcowce Hotel, recently completed aud put in
operation by Mr.. John c. Cary. an enlerprising
cotton merchant, who has in few years accu-
muaed good property by strict attention 10
business. Mr. Cary is n native of our county
and prominent citizen of Scneca, holding Mt
this time the position of Intcndant Of The town.
His hotel is thrcc story building. neatly
finished inside and outside, and is the best
furnished hotel We have been in this side Of
Charleston, all the ROOMS having carpets and
first clnss he'd room furniture II has been
built and furnished at cost of little less than
$4,000. 1t is we'll conducted, well supp,icd
with servants and walters, who are neatly
dressed and courteous, SO that no one stopping
there is neglected. The browning attraction of
the hotel, in our judgment. is the dining hall
about meal time. Here there is no stint in
variety or quantity, the bill Of fare Offering
almost any reasonable article lla could be- called
for or expected in the up. country. prepared,
