THE NEW CODE OF PROCEDURE.!
T1?? Timv C.tuln T"*n t?o
adopted at the lust session of the
Legislature is now the law of tlic
laiul. At one "fell swoop," the
practice of our Courts, which was!
imported into this country from |
England, and xvInch Uas been band-j
ed down from early colonial daysj
iias been cut off, and instead, wej
have the New York practice trans-;
planted bodily, an.l engrafted .into!
the old stock of Soivth Carolina j
law. The attempt would saeni to!
boas absurd as that which the lio-<
avian poet ridicules of joining a;
*0\npafl'Q fn o linnvui It mill 99 I

Tliese new doctors of the law
liave attempted n feat which con-1
travenes every natural -law, and;
mocks a'fl power of assimilation.
As soon attempt to nnite oil and
- water, as join together two systems
of law necessarily artificial, w'liicli
liave grown up under different cir-j
'cumetauces, and arc adapted toj
diverse feeling's, habits an J customs, j
^Jlere tliore Las been no attempt'
even at assimilation. The skill of
the framera was unequal to llioi
'taelc. "Whatever thev niav have
known of New York law, they '
were totally ignorant of South1
'Carolina law. Hence the first con- i
-dition of success was wanting.!
'The attempt, is not less absurd |
thau that of a foreiguer who should i
anake innovations in the body ofj
our language, of which lie knows!1
nothing?of a Frenchman who'
1
should supplement Webster's Dic-j,
tionnry by engrafting the latest jj
Gallic idioms. jj
But even if the requisite skill',
and learning liad not been wanting,
the change was too sudden, the rc- <
form was too complete and revolutionary,
to effect any useful pur-p
pose, ljaws are I lie growth ol 1
time, and here especially in rclorm- J
ing, we should according to Lord
Bacon, follow the example of "time
which iunovateth gently." Ilerc,
however, the chauiz-e has come
' 0 <
upon via like some vulcanic erup- (
tion or eoine overflowing flood j,
which has destroyed the old land- j
marks, and involve whatever we't
hold most <5car, in one seething vcr-11
tex. 11
The Legislative changes "which <
have of late been introduced iutoji
our laws au-d institutions 6ccm tOj'
have arisen either from a ect pur- j5
pose to obliterate the Carolina otV
the past, or from an overweening
. attachment of an nlieu people forr
n their ow? laws aiwl customs, which 1
1 {
-they esteem the best, semper,
nbique cl omnibus. To the fell spirit
which would prompt the first, we ,
have -nothing to say. To the
second we would say, that abstract
right is concrete wrong?that J,
which may be best for New York '
may be the worst for Soath Caro- i
lina.- Tbey who legislate for a j
people must be. one of thein?to
know their habits?to be cognizant
of thueir wants?and above all, to
know .lapw far these have. b?en
provided for in-the great body, of'
t exiting law.

reconcilable with the' view that

lacnt of tliin conference, a convention
of the people of the State opposed to
Radicalism, and in favor of good and
.honest government, should be held in
llicecity of Columbia, at somo cohve-j
nient time, for the purpose of nonii-j
nating a State ticket, which, while!
assuring equal and exact justice to all, |
will afford some degree of security.;
prosperity and.good government. j
4. lit solvtily That this conference j
respectfully suggest to the people ol'j
the State Wednesday, tho l.uh of j
1 unn itntn'nif no n enll < !i?n ? !
holding said convention.
These resolutions recognizo in theiri

equality of the black man?his right|
to yote and his right to hold office?j
his right not only to "equal and cx-i
act justice," but to ofllco and einolu-j
incut?recognize all ot this", not as a|
mere abstract truth, but as a controll-j
ing principle in the coming elections, j
These resolutions give prominence to|
that polipy which in the present crisis j
rises above party principles and national
issues?the prime necessity of
securing good governnieut at home-*jf
elevating honest and capable men ;
lo ollicc ? and this bv tho. KM fVl-.-i frr* ?f".

'all tbo citizens of the State, irres-j
oective of color or previous condition." j
Here is a platform broad enough for j
is nil Lo stand upon. . j
As ft matter of course, the actiou j
r?f the conference, is only advisory.;
With a view to some determinate and:
authoritative action, they suggest ai
mcoling of a Convention of the people
on Wednesday the 113th June next.
Wo had thought that a later day

lclcrinined the selection. 13nt whaj^i
>ver difference of opinion there might |
je as to the time of meeting, wo had j
hought, tht-rc would be none, as to the j
niportuncc of the meeting itself We I
lo not understand the reasons which!
.he Winnsboro jYcws suggests rather!
.han urges, or why the holding aj
?ouveutiou should involve any arith-j
netjehl estimate of "loss and gain,"
ivhy it should be necessary to lose
some counties and gain others. Jlj
ivo arc to gain anything at alt, it is by j
union?by concerted purposes and
jnited efforts. As a lirst and necessary
Btep to this, wo must have a
L'owvontion. The Conference have
suggested the 15th Juno next, and
ivo suppose tho people of tho State
tvill ratify and confirm.
The News, Courier, Phoenix, and j
Guardia i, and other leading papers of
State fully endorse and earnestly sustain
tho foregoing resolutions and wc
are sure thnt they will awaken a response
everywhere.

Tribute to Wm. F. 3JkSavksx:rv.?
The Columbia Bar assembled on Monday
last to pay u suitable tribute lo
the memory of tho lute Wm. F. l>eNanssure,
the oldest and most eminent
of (Is members. Chancellor Carroll
was called to the Chair, and Col. A.
0. Haskell requested to act as Secretary.
Appropriate resolutions were
introduced by James L>. Tread well,
Rsq., and were supported by
M <-ssrs. Josoph Daniel Pope, John
Watics, and Wm. If. Tally.? The
decensed was a noble specimen of the
Carolina gentlemen?of great cmi:
nenco in his profession, of high integrity
of character, and rare amenity
of temper, and graeo and courtesy
of manner.

Large Turnip.?If any of our
agricultural friends can beat a turnip
raised by Mr. W. W. Sprouso of this
vicinity, and which has been submitted
to our inspection, wo think we
can assure them of a premium, at our
District or State Fairs. The weight
and dimensions as taken by our townsman,
Mr. J. F. C. DuPre, arc as follows:?weight
12 lbs.?circumference
Ii21 inches. We havo heard of turnips
weighing S and 10 lbs., but 12 lbs.
novor before.
