A com:hiss:ol h h'ben al>pOinttid to;revise the tax laws of the State and said commission will report to the present Legislatnre. We await with interest their report and the ac tion of; the Legislature in reference to the same. It will require wise and judicious legislation to meet the re quirements of the situation without resulting in hardships to the tax-pay ers. The Governor recommends that the ame of making returns and col lecting taxes be changed. Great trouble and iicouvelnience and fre quent mistakes occur from the fact that we are one year behind in the paying of taxes. To overcome this will require an extra levy or the col lection of two years ax in one year, either of which would be very hard upon the taxpayer in the present condition of the country resulting from the short crops of the last few years. The treasurer ought not to be required to open his books before the first of October and be required to keep them open until the 15th of November of each year. The Comptroller General estimates that there are 2,000,000 acres of land in the State not upon the tax books at all, and as a consequence no tax is paid upon it at all. It is also esti mated that the total taxable prope:ty in the State is abou?t 51m;XtflR)UC0 while the tax book, sl,ow that only $150,000.00 are ass ssed. This es timate shows that nearly half the taxable property in the State escapes taxation altogether. This should not be. The burden of taxation should be equally borne oy all the pt operty owners. In addition to this the ine quality with which the property is as sessed makes the burden bear une qually. It is a fact that some per. sons give it. their property at its full value, while others assess it at half or less. These are only some of the evils, and their adjustment. if adjus ted at all by legislation, will require judicious action by our Legislature. OLR JUDICIARY. A bill has been introduced in the present Legislature providing for hie redistricting of the Judical Circuit s of the State and the creation of two new Judicial Circu s. and conse quently the election of two new ('ir cuit Judges. Some measuore Es need ed to bring about u tr.ore speedy tral of issues. P'ersons who are forced to c-arry cases into the c-ourts have frequently tu suffer great in convenienCe and ex~penlse from long waiting on account of the slowneCss with wnlich the~ judicial machinery moves, and the conbuenjiIt de'ay of justice. 'I he doecets ig all the coui ties are cro-wded and more cases arec put on each court than are di-sposedI of as a rule. It seems to us it would be out of the quetion to require more work from our preser.t jud(ges than they now perform. anid o.f course to perform more work the number will have to be increased. But there ig anothe'r want~ fel' in this mastter which the er-estion of two more judgc-< with twp additional cir cuits will not Supply. la the e-vent of the sickness of one of the juidges. the judicial machinery of a w h county or circuit should not he stOl) ped. It not only works injury to httiat', but the accusedi are en titled to a speedy tria!. It fregnent ly happenr, that they hav to lie injail awaiting a h:eang as long as their sentence wol4uld be, ini case they are guilty if they could obtain a 5pe edy triisl, Simple justice demandls that they shouldI be speedli iy tried guilty- o- innocent. In o:.r county we have had no criminal court since June and will have none till next spring. owing to the sick ness of Judge Presley -at the time of our regule-r term. Some rovi~sion *should be made to supply this want. While legislating on this subject we think it wouid be a good idea to hae our judges elected for life or durig good behavior. Then select the bet and purest men in the State. and then lift them as it were, above the necessity or even possibility of stooping to meddle with politics a A State Bar Association will be formed in Columbia during this or net week. Such an Association has lon been needed M-r. Be-net hga been instrumnetal in gin this de sirable ma~ties well adi~et way.--a w-c-onaty whiat he o,ught to he pt-r; ea ' LIu n.,e I 14 Uh ot e::Ou .U*' N' THANKSGiVING DAY. W: reoice to say that the day set apart by the President as one of thanksgiving and prayer was oh s(rvetl in a manner reflecting credit on our citizens, and in a way which s:owed that they rightly appreciated the miercics anti the blessin.:s and the inca:cul:e1v t enefits b^stowed ulpon then by an all-wise cre:itor. Of much that has calle I for grief in other sections of the country we in i this community have been spared. We are thankful for this. The gen ral health has been good-we thank God for that. As an entire people we have great cause for tihanksgiving in the e'e tiou which has helped us. The land ot God was in that. like the children of Israel we have been led out of the wilderness, and out of the bondage of Radicalismn-how great the cause for thanksgiving here; we are thankfu. blessed be the name of God. An! Li:t this community and thz- whole country rightly ob served the day gives us cause for deep thankfulness. EDUCATION. Mere intellectual education is not the panacea for all ills that one might suppose. We long since cane to the conclusion that the highly educated intelligent man is no better morally than the n:an whose mind has re cieved but little knowledge of letters. The intellectrLal edlucation quickens and enlarges the muind, so that the man la rus to know his own value in the world and is not so liable to be come the dupe of others. In other words he becomes better able to take care of himself and is more worthy to be a freeman. But so far fron being a better man he may be a worse one in consequence of his in tellectual training and culture. 1)r. John Ellis of New York, him selt' a New Englander. in his essay on the causes, of the decline of the descendants of the Puritans, .gives some terrible facts in regard to the eifects of culture, so called. upon tie morals of the women of New Eng laml. HIe says that the practice 4i fot:tichie prevaiits to an atr1iing ex telnt amtong"-t the educated. refincd and -ultureiI' women or' that see tion, who ought in the caise of un ture to be mothers. It comes, he thinks. as a lesult of the refining process of intellectual training with out the corresponding process of high moral and religious educa tion. The result then of intel lectuial and esthetic traiining, with out the moral and religious, would appear to be to -!raie men and wo men devils instead of angels. Let the friends of education pon der this subject well, and let aHi well wishers to humanity look to it. LEGISLATIVE PRtOCEEDINGS.

The debts of the counties. cities and towns have b)eenl decreased in the last four years at least l.200.(00. a sure indication of the progress ani ,ros perity. of the State.

The attention of the General Assembly is called to that portion of the Comnptroller-G eneral's Report which refers to the year.which was lost in the collection of taxes, in consequence of whiclh loans have to be obtained from the banks in order to meet the necessities of the goveru inent. The pressure in the money market during the last suummer forced the Comptroller-Genlcral to suspeud for a time the issuing of warrants to all charitable institutions and gene ral claimants. coipeilling them to (iiscount their ci :mills and thus entail ing upon thcmn losses which should properly belong to the State. I:EVENt'E .\ND EXPENSES. It is estimated that it will require ) 2.195 to m;eet the ordinary e:gei ses of tie government for the tiscal year 184-5. and $391,337 to pay the intere-t on the public debt. The phos phate royalty should yield $150,000, and there will be in the treasury an estimated surplus of $124,255, leav ing but +489.7G to be raised by tax ation, and requiring a levy of 3 mills. This amount will probably be increased by appropriations not in eluded in the estinate for c'rrent ex pelses. but the rat"- of taxation need not exceed that of last year.

'That in country having fallen off $90,000. Rleal es:ate is assessed at G8 per cent of its value and per sonal property about one-third The Comptroller-General esti mates thait there are 2 000,000 acres of land in the State not upon the tax-books. The v-alume of taxable property of the State may fairly be e-timated at 25,0, 000 instead of $150,00'0,000. as as sessed. There are $956.292 *geres of land nomninaly in the custody of the Sink ing Fund Commission representing a valuation of $2.503331 upon which there are due the State atccumuated taxes and penalties amounting to $313,866. Vi hen it is remembered that not one acre of this land pays taxes, and that it is nominally in posession of the State. while the ownW er neaini undisturbed in the en. joyment of the revenues th,erecfromn, on t he sui jE'ct is appjareuit.

No doubt the law is abused, a but -iv credit syst-m will bte abusa(d. b i-s re'peal it will driv"- the sial farmer with no property other than his labor to sim 'ti.in.~ eIS,. To rIpeal it, we cannot stt" where the l nefits will come in. We bt lit_ve the far mers are ende: vorin, to chanze their b modlC of farming and a'' e(ndeavor ing to r:Lle heir o-.,n si; plies a homl, and by so doing We liope.they will soon become independent of the Lier. Law, and then they will repeal it by their own aits to all interests and purposes.
