displayed throughout the terns hi* usual
High judicial ability and satisfactory ad
ministration of the law.
There was ease of Dower, BehethtenBstes
vs. JotiM Baths, in which the decision
ot Judge Ok* is of puhlio interest. The
claimant., in 1862, with another, administer
?d on her deceased husband's estate. The
same year she petitioned the Ordinary to
sell the land to aid in raying debts and for
distribution .end " to get her rights" fn the
name. The land was duly sold by order of
the Court of Ordinary, as the result of her
application, purchased by the defendent
Batks, and paid for according to the ternaa
of sale. Th? debts w ere Istger than anticipated'perhaps
enough to consume the proceeds
ol the sale. But nothing further was i
done, and the money laid 1.1 the Court and !
finally perished with all ether Confederate
paper. In 1869. the widow ened Batrs the
purchaser, for dower. The Piobate Court
gavs judgment in her faror. Batks ap j
pealed. Judge Or.R sustained the appeal, j
and revieed the decision of the probate
Court, on the ground that the land having :
been once sold hy virtue of plaintiff*s own
petition, she could not afterwards claim Her J
dower out of the land itself. Her remedy
might have been in the proceeds of the <
sale. If the money was lost, it was- her J
misfortune. The Judge sustained- his opinion
in the ease in a clear and forceble man.

The Wife'# Dower.
We were surprised to see that a bill h?g
been introduced by Mr. Wilkes in the House
of Representatives in this Slate, to take
away the wife's tight of dower. We hope
the measure will he abandoned. Surely, in
this age Of favorable legislation for woman,
such a hill will not be pressed e>i? aJTowed to
succeed. If it is founded on the fact that,
itie law now [ro'ects the wifes property.
It is n wholly insufficient consideration, for
it aesnmea I hat nil w fves have separate prop
crty, lands, Ac. Aa the law stands, it can
work no injustice. Every one has notice
of it. Power is often the only stay for a
widow and children out of a wrecked ea
tat?, and the only menus the wife may have
of living ; besides it gives gome assurance
whilst the bit-band is living against ultimate
destitution of the wife. If the husband
dies sol vent, his estate is bound to disks
good losses by dower, and the wife cannot
taken distributive part and dower also;
?he must cboose. The wife's fight of dower
is even a protection and advantage to many
a husband; it lessens the temptation of
pharpera to cheat him out of his lands, or to
run hiin in debt to sell him out.
Qov. Scott's Message in Relation to Disturbances
in Certain Counties.
We publish in full the able Message of
Gov. Fcott in answer to a call of the I.egis
latere for information on the above question.
It is wise and patriotic in its spirit
and language, and reminds one of the old
gemiine Re pub Uranism of the Jeffersonian
atari,p It is very gratifying to see, too,
that the Message is heartily approved ami
applnude > by the press of this State, of all
parties; and if the views it contains are carr

The state of things in Franco i* the old
story over again?the masses of the people,
the million* are sacrificed for the ambition of
few, for the rulers for the time, and would*
bo rulers and oSre-helders. and for the fieri
Oration of a particular General. IVe think
enlightened history will stamp with crime, and
perhaps infamy, the General who shuts up
bis army in a great city and holds out to its
destruction by the engines of modern war.
It is different now from what it was in old
times. Sealing over or battering walls, when
bopc might coat in ac to the last, and destruction
only coald ensue when a hostile army en- :
tend tbo sity. Kuw whenever the great
bombshells can rain down thick among the
Houses and inhabitants of a city, the foo i,
practically villiu it; and if the besieged
army is unable to drive biui speedily from
the besieging point whence the guns send
their missiles of desolation, that army is already
defeated, and worse than defeated?it
is attempting to save its rcpntution l>y the
destruction of the place and people whom
they falsely boast- ol defending. Shame on
such heroism; it is vain glory?folly and
moral cowardice?the very opposite ol the
virtues displayed by Gen. Lf.f. in his surrender

FROM COLUMBIA.
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 21st, 1871.
Jfrnrs. Editor??Since my Inst letter, business
lias been constantly accumulating upon
the calender. There are now eighty-four hills
on the calendar awaiting their second resiling.
Alter the call of counties for the
last four days, the inevitable question of martial
law in the refractory counties, already
referred to, has engaged the time of the House.
winpper, liyas, Jones and Juno MoMey, all
colored, are the principal speakers who advocate
the passage of the bill. The House has
been ready for a vote upon the bill two days ;
but Mobley, although he says he docs not
fully approve of the bill, is unwilling it
should be voted down until some other adequate
remedy is adopted. He has held the
floor for the lust two days, and the fuither
consideration is made the speoial order for
Tuesday. The bill will be voted down by a
large majority. All the white Radicals have
opposed the bill, for which they were taunted
by the colored orators. Toe most rampant
advocates of the measure, have bcon those
farthest removed from danger. This did not j
escape the notioe of the Radical speaker* of
the opposition.
The proceedings io the impeachment e?s?,
were initiated on Friday, and at the request
of council for the defence, Mr. J. D.
Pope, farther action waa postponed until
Tuesday next. A motion waa made in the
Senate for lha State to pay the expenses of
Judge Vernon's witnesses. It bowevet failed,
hut Mr. Leslie, oa tbe Senate floor, declared
bis purpose to pay tbe costs of Judge Ver
non'a wtrneaaav httneeif, and atnhorlted Mr.
v Pope to summon a* many witnesses a? be
nnaded. Mr. Lnaile advoaoted tbe jontice of
tba Stat# paying all expanses in tbe caae, ax
' tba State w#a at mneh int erotic J in aa acquit*
tal at in a coarlotion, tfhe trial ought not to
oocaipy mora than b*o or jfonr 'day*; but if
tba Sonata U at dilatory In this, aa iu matter*
of legislation, it may take a week or two.
Col. Crittenden baa introdaced a bill to
amend tha present road law, by including all
from 10 to 00 year# ol age, Inatead of 18 to 45(
and to collect forfeiturca in the tame manner
at tazct. Another bill on tbe tamo subject, {
|irvnuc> tuiriy aays imprisonment for failures.
The Utter remedy will reach some ease* where
jhe former will fail.
An appropriation of half million for free
schools, is talked of. I trust wo shall be able
to scale down the exaggerated ideas the Radioal
members entertain on this subject. A
hundred thousand dollars, with the poll tax
rigidly collected, will be adequate to tho
general necessities. It is at least as much as
the people can dcento to this purpose. The
salaries of School Commissioners will be reduced.
The hill now pending is undergoing
amendments. I think they will bo curtailed
nearly half.
Two railroad charters arc now being asked '
for?the Savannah Valley Railroad, to connect
Adcrson with Augusta?tho other called
Tugalo, to commence at the point where tho 1
Air-Line Railroad mar cross the Blue Ridge, I 1
and terminate at Hartwell, (ia., and to connect
with Augusta by the llartwcll and Aa- ' |
gufta Railroad. The Savannah Railroad is i
not a new project. A charter was obtained, |
I think, in 1854 ; and Governor Perry, if I I
mistake not, opposed it, upon the grounds,
that the road woald detract fro in the business
of the Greenville A Columbia Railroad, (
and would build np the cities of Georgia in- r
stead of Columbia and Charleston. This view ;
of the case is still pertinent, and I bare grave j
doabts as to the expediency nnd jnstice of the ! .
matter, as it relutcs to tho interests of the ! I
State ar* large rand would be glad to have the j (>
opinions of gentlemen of large experience, and
who have thought mnch on the subject.
Sineo my last, several other military companies
havo been incorporated. The recent
war-like speeches in the Legisfatorc seems to '
have aroused tho entiso colored population '
i in the low conutry with a martial spirit. '
The llonso to-doy adopted a joint resolution
i to adjourn on the 1st March. I hope the '
I Senate will concur, or amend to adjourn at an 1
earlier date?the sooner wo adjowsu t-kc bet- I
tcr fos the country. ;
