BLAND POND, DECEMBER 10, 1884.
TIE TRUSTEE LAW.

l
THE TRUSTEE LAW.
Our last Legislature passed an act
providing that trustee suit could
be maintained where the sum from
1he debtor exceeded five dollars. Iii
was ten dollars under the old law.
This act is severely criticised by
many of our contemporaries. The
Rm5and Herald says, in substance,
that it deals with the laboring man
in a spirit of justice as savage as
Shylock, and as sharp as the knife
Ae whetted for his victim, etc. 1t;
NAV he true that the laboring man
ought to have his wages to che "a
mount ef ten dollars exempt from
attachment by trustee process ordin-
arilv. But it was claimed by the
friends of the latter act that it was
in the interest of the poor men in
that it prevented a man who had
debt of five or six dollars from bring
ing a suit as was the practice under
the old lava suit for the express
purpose of raising the debt by means
of costs, interest, etc, to the required
sum of ten dollars, and then bring
his trustee process, thus piling up
the costs against the laboreF and
vexing HIM with two suits, when
one under the new law would ac-
complish the creditors purpose. II
was claimed that there was large
class, especially choppers and the
like, who came here only for few
months in the year, who made a
practice of getting supplies of less
than ten dollars in value, being care
ful that the value did not exceed
that sum, collect their wages and
snap their fingers in the face of the
man who had, in good faith, sup
piled them while they squanderec
their wages or went safely out of the
country. So the substance of the
claim of the opponents Of the bill !
that the debtor should be exempt t,
the amount of ten dollars, and o
the friends of the bill, is that takin!
into consideration all things connect
ed with the matter, less injury AM
fraud would occur under the neN
law. Now this is mere matter o
Judgment to be determined fror
experience. Having had no sue
experience we do not assume to dc
termine the matter; but are in
formed that men of sound judgmen
and large experience presented bot
views. We will, however, yentur
this suggestion; That if it is tru
that man is obliged to get his pa
every day or two to avoid the opel
alton of this law, if he woul
pay his creditor as fast as he earne
the money, then he would honestl
avoid its operation. Besides, if it
his purpose to avoid the law, doe
not the ten dollars double his chance
for avoidance? We are not "
prepared to say that the majority
our legislature is narrow minded an
oppressive. But with these sugge
tions of a portion of the consider
tions moving each side, we add, TIL
il Ave dollars would Cypress an hol
est laborer, ten would have the san
effect, and therefore the trustee la
should be abolished, or restricted
very few cases.

He says his ship laid off the Cape
297 days waiting for a chance to
get around, and finally, they sent a
man around in a row boat, who
fastened large rope to an iceberg,
and then they pulled the ship

DECEMBER 80. 1884.
Mr.. William +. DrummOnd, OF BlInd-
ford Lodge, No. 3, to-day received his APP
uointment from the Grand Master Of the
State as District Deputy Grand Master for
this district rice John +. Townes declined,
hui his private business engagements are
such that he was forced TO return the COM
mission and to decline the appointment.
As an evidence OF the resuScitati0n OF
business here, 1t may be stated upon what
is regarded as reliable reports that early in
the coming year, wealthy combination
will omen large tobacco factory TO compete
for the domestic trade. The firm will be
backed by wealth and experience. and will
cOnd6ct operations on large scale.
Accordingto the records IN the Office OF
the Clerk OF the Hastings Court. 20j mar
riage-licenses were issued during the cur
rent twelve months, Of which 105 were To-
white and III TO cOored couples.
II was mentioned IN this correspondence
some DAYS AGO that dispositions were being
taken on behalf OF the state. TO be read ~
evidence in The pending suit 10 inyalidlte
the deed made by the directors ofthe Plan-
tiers and Mechanics Bank. by winch 1t was
provided that the assets Of the bank should
be distributed pro rata among the creditors.
The State claims that the deed is invalid
because il was not authorized or sanctioned
by the stockholders. II may now be stated
that the dispositions have been completed,
and that the 23d Of January has been agreed
upou rs the day on which TO hear argument
in the ease. The court meets on the nth
Of the month, bat it will require several
DAYS to dispose Of the criminal docket,
which will he quite large one.
II is estimated that the value OF property
destroyed by fire in this city this wear Will
rot exceed $3.50, C00-hardly as m"ch as IS
sometimes destroyed in one day IN some
cities Of equal size. The most destructive
fire of the year was that which burned
Messrs. G. A. Jackson & Co.'S tobacco-fac-
tory few weeks ago. The New Year will
omen with The iire-alarm system in use. and
bv this mems. it is hoped, the destruction
Of so much property will be prevented
hereafter.

Mr.. Randall In L.0ulsNillc.

LOUISVILLE. December 29.-TO-uight
Liedcrkranz Hall, the largest in the city,
was crowded TO overlooking to hear Mr..
Randall speak. The audience was COM
posed Of the substantial businessmen and
mechanics Of the city. Mr.. Randall was
introduced by Ex-Governor Blackburn.
As he arose 20 speak he was applauded for
seyolal minutes.
Mr.. Randall said he was overwhelmed by
his reception. He proposed briefly TO state
hi. position on the subject OF taxation. He
held that the Constitution conveys no right
to levy more taxes than are necessary for
the economical reeds Of the Government.
The Republican party has violated tins
principle. There is now 500, 00O.000 sur
plus in the Treasury. lie favored the re-
peal OF laws which produce such surpl@s.
Al revenue, be argued, should be raised
by tariff on imports. Intcrnal-reyenue
taxes. that remnant OF war-times. should he
abolished. lie did not believe the Constl-
tuition conferred on Congress the right
TO levy protective tailif Tor pro-
tection's sake. Duties should be so levied
as TO preserve thc just WAGES OF American
labor as against foreign labor. Long APP
plausc.l Mr.. Randall went on 10 say be
neither favored a high protective tariff
which fosters monopoly, nor free trade
which encourages direct taxation, but was
foI a tariff with incidental protection. This
was the doctrine Of Jefferson and Jackson,
Of Madison. OF Wright. His position, he
said, mad often been msrepresentcd. The
ChicagO platform expressed bis views exact
ly. He wanted the platform on which Gro
yer cleveland WIS elected President. APP
plause1 lie was not 80 much in love with
her manufacturers an advantage over our
own. Nj. Randall closed with an eloquent
picture Of the new South. lie said the re-
cuucratiOn OF this vast section from the de-
yasiatien OF war was the most wonderful
thing in the history OF nations. lie eX-
horted the southern people TO make the
most OF their resources. The South i dcs'
tined TO exert an immense influence on the
progress OF the worlds civilization.
Mr. Randall spoke for forty minutes. and
was followed by Congressman McAdoo,
who made very favorable impression.
lie spoke Of the warm and hearty reception
tL,y had received IN Kentucky, and said
they were almost killed with kindness.
After the speaking hundreds OF citizens
shook hands with MIR. Randall. To your
correspondent he said:
"Tell my friends that my reception was
the most generous any people could posi-.
bly, extend"
At midnight Mr.. Randall left for Nash
vile in charge OF a committee headed by
Colonel Colyar, editor OF the american.
Mr.. Randall and his friends are more than
pleased with the events Of the day. Dis
tineuished Democrats from all parts OF
Kentucky were here to welcome him. and
his visit is without single unpleasant in

ever endured has been the result OF

State when the Constitution was torn away
