But Iht lhere are murmurs of discontent and dissatisfy tiou (and I think well-founded,) it is not wert while to di:guiso. Thc District Courts thai arc engrafted upon th organic law have occupied about six weeks of th four Sessions, and aro now alm-:st universal!; conceded to be not adapted to our impovcrishei condition. And I have no doubt they will bi discontinued by tho next Legislature, as lb present Legislature has airca ly erased ib:<t bar tion of tho Const Un tion making it obligator upon t'?s Legislature to establish Diitriet Courts I havo ever considered them as huge monument . of folly, even in tho modifie 1 form they now ex is!. They hilve c ist the Stute about forty thou rand dollars in the timo they havo consumed o the Legislature, printing, Ac. The Stay, or rather the installment Law, whiel was set u?-ide by the Judiciary, I considered I wiso measure, one which would have given, ns J believe, general satisfaction to the people. ARC that decision certainly was an unfortunate ono Since then, much of thc time of the Legislature has been consumed in dncussing remedial meas ures, ami, as I informed you in one of my leiten fr -m Columbia, elections have been held in several Districts in the State to fill vacancies occasioned by members accepting db qualifying offices; in nearly all which cases tho candidates in favor ol relief have beta'elected. But. owing to a disa greement between the two Houses, and some merobora who had heretofore neted with those of us in laver of remedial measures going over to thy opposition, all remedial measures were lost Thc Bills of thc House end Senate to provide Corn for tho indigent of thc Stato experienced a similar fate. Thc Legislature at thc lato Session, Transferred from thc Charlotte Bailroad curtain stock held by tho Stato to the Augusta k Columbia Railroad, and endorsod tho botids of the latter Company six thousand dollars cu oar' mile of tho Ro&d. In reference to remedial Legislation tho delega tion from this Di.-' .-?ct actod in concert, and we all came to tho u losion that if wo could not get our own plans wo would tako thoso of others. In reference to tho Tax vBi!l, wo also acted in concert, except ns to thc dog tax, tn which I was tfpposed; thcbalnngcof our delegation favored it. The two parties, the relief and anti-relief par tics, wert) very nearly equal in bolh Houses. Tho President of tho "Se?alo and tho Speaker of thc House were strong auti-felicf men; they had tho appointment of all committees, which gave them decided advantage. Besides, alargo proportion of tho logal profession wcro anti-reliof mon ; but sovornl of the mont influential lawyers of the Stato advocated relief measure's. Bonham at the extra and regular sessions, and Butler at the ex tra sosiion, Carlington, Sauber, Mullins and others, (1 i'd all they could for relief ; and tho contest was ono of the most stubborn, I suy.poso, that hos cvor taken placo in tho State. But all was lost I hare written this with no other design but to sot myself and colleagues in our true position bo foro tho pcoplo of tho District. As the pe?pie hn(ro cn mired, both verbally and by letter, of tho condition of tho Courts and tho prospects of litigation, I can r.nly answer that there aro now no restrictions upon tho Court? I The Court of Common Plcaj will sit in March and October as heretofore ; and tho Court of ; Equity in June as heretofore. Tho District Court' j sits on tho Second Monday in January, and after 1 that, quarterly. Voa will thus percoivo that every - I body can sue everybody nt will, and I havo but I little doubt t?,o peoplp will have litigation to their heart's oontciit. But, Mr. J; 1 i tor, I da not de-pa:r of tho future if our poople will act considerately. There is no earthly doubt that tho privato in debtedness grcatl** exceeds tho means of tho poo ple to pay, even if tho remaining property were sold at a fair ralue ; and if a general financial crash conv, Iflv not brifar* tho froptrty cf tao Stat*; ai forced salea, will pay cost of suits an J twenty cents in tho doljjtur. Aguja it mu.-: bc reir.ouihorcd that the wholo matter goeB before tho people be fore mitch properly cap be sold, only ?mal? debts of one hnndred dollars' and un d'or, trod on judg ments already obtained. Aud tho more distress and litigation, tho moro radical tho next Legisla ture will he, and thc natural consequ?nc? of liti gation irill bc to cxlle'our white population from thc State. For hero itmust'bc frankly acknowl edged that although South Carolina, wai thc first Stato to Kcccdo, and virtually inaugurated the great revolution which has mud? bankrup&of moro than half of lier people, yet all of her sister States that co-operated with her have made more liberal provision for th?so bi their people who were ruined by tho war than. South Carolina her self. After making-thesc statement?, I shall venturo a ferr suggestions to tho people of tho Dislricf, promising not again to obtrude my opinions bo fore them. . First, let cvcrjutebtor go immediate ly to his creditor, mako a fr?"*"pfull and frank ad ?ini-sion of thc amount of his .indebtedness, and thc nature of the debts ; and p;iy cvory cent he can to his creditors, pro rata, after . selling all stock, land, or other property ho can spare, and cancel his obligations as far r.s lies in his powor. Second, lot every creditor facet hts debtor in a rpirit of compromise, and suspend tho interest .during thc war, and only exact inch a portion of tho principal as his debtor will bo oblo to pay with two year's industry and economy. Take ?hat your debtor can pay at QUCO, and give ono and two years to pay tho remainder. And in no case, except whero tliero is a manifest intention to defraud, increase tho debtor** liabilities and blunt his enterprise by an accumulation of costs : and let litigation bo tho last resort; and you will by this means mnke a powerful appeal to your debtor's honor ; you will infuse lifo into his latent energy; jou will not be thc ungenerous instru ment of driving from tHo Stato hor unfortunate but cherished sons. l'h?ve practiced what lhere advocate, and in no case has my appeal been in vain; both in reference to debtors o^rid-creditors. Let (Ubers do likewise, and thc clouds of adver sity that hover over us may soon be driven away : tho sunshine of prosperity, hnppincss, virtue and contentment may yet bo ours. Let uS make new andmore" vigoron? exertions to restore our op pressed and down trodden commonwealth to her former position of prosperity; and fetus think it no longer dishonorable fur our sons lo plough ; and let us teach our daughters to bo moro domes tic. If wc can succ'csfully manage out own inter nal affairs, I believe the effort: of tho Radicals will recoil'upon their own head*. Of one thing I a:n certain4; they never can degrade and Hight our future pro"p;'j'.s if we aro true to ourselves, without becoming themselves tho equal partakers of all thc calamities they may attempt to bring upon us. And finally, Mr. EDITOR, I suggest to the peo ple of the District the organisation of a voluntary Land AssoeiatioK with a President and twelve Directors. Let every land owner in-Edj;cfield donate to tito Association, if he owns over four hundred ncrcs of land, or mor.-, one-sixth of his lauded estate, or as much more or less as bc may think fit. Let the Association give first to each family, or other person of our own pcopio, that is uoahlo.to purchase, one hundred acrcj iu perpe tuity, up.m thc condition that iuch family or por son shall settle and romain no .n the same. Let the President of tho Association advertise both in America and Europe, that free white men will be furnished land to thoamountof enc hundred aeres ; to heads of each family, buna fido settlers; to their, and their heirs and assign-:, as Ijng as they remain on tho same. I nm certain that hy this means..wo would not only rctuip ?ur own white population, but also in duce emigrants fruin -vurious purls "f thc world to come and settle among us. And our lauds in ten years would apr rc-tiate in value, ?nd the re mainder hold by us-would bc Wurth ?uur limes as much as at present. We would have our country settled and cultivated by small platters; and our agriculture, which is the keystone ia the arch of our futuro prosperity, would be stimulated aud j revivified ; und all other avocations would partake of thc general well-being. i And, as tho Freedmen aro either leaving thc .State, or setting up fer themselves, in such num bers, as to admonish' us that wc cannot depend upon them as laborers for any considerable length ? of time, tho alternative :? presented to ns of adopt ing sjinc scheme like tho one hircin indicated. Otherwise our lands will become a waste, and fall loin tho hands of Fr tc dm en. Thcs-; suggestions may excite a smile, but they have at ?east as much merit a- the Doctor's bread pille,-if they do no good, they can do ?o harm. T!I03. JONES. lu ?llcmorinm.
