My ' ' ?'- X Weave glad to sec, that tbf Trial Justice? Systera/is 'abouti/^"6.1^ "revision by the LcriPf *0'?^ ho Modified, or tobcpff ^^ altogether. The fthole *s c'earb* ttnconstltattoddLiX?? COD8t,itut'on provides for ijj^yedTon of Justices of the Pence, by Jtrequalified electors of each eduh-jy, but conifers no power on the Legislature to give tho appointment of any (adjoin) masrtetrate-to the Governor. "TJys has" repeatedly been raado"the . subject -of judicial decision. But apart from its "unconstitutionality, the system, with its enlarged judicial powers conferred upon men necessarily oil limited capacity, is worse than use-, less aud inaffective?being positively prejudicial to the best interests of th"e country. The abuses from erroneous and corrupj, judgpippts, grow .natural )y and necessarily out 01 iuo bjoiuiu, where enlarged powers over property are conferred upon incompetent officials. Inferior magistrates with limited jurisdiction, in connection with ijhe present circuit court system, seem 'to fte all suf&cicnt for the juclicial necessities of the country, at the e'amii fimo, that a better guarautoo is lurpishecl for the proper ad/njnisira tioa of justice. The complaints against the present Trial Justice System, are long" an<i' loud', fcome of tho evils rio doubt are casual ancl incidental, but #>r the'most'part they are radical; and essential. They grow out of conferring large judicial powers upon! men dependent upon the fees of ollicoi fbr support, -^'nd hence tempted to make^ these the instrument of oppres?lon to the people.'*" ?-?i?' *m* The Usruy Law BUL seo that Mr. Wilkes, of Anderson, has introduced into tho Legislature a bi(l to repeal the Act of 1866, Which repealed the old Usury Laws of the Siafe. The bill is now in the Kftads oif the Committee of Ways and Means in the House, and' wi l meet, it ig- said, as w.e think it deserves, Very strong opposition. The attempt po exomgt money fYom tho operation M1 laws of-trade and to j subject"^ to any other law' than that 'Of buppfy and demand, must prbve Tutilef "The worth of tlilngis what it Will hring," and in this Respect fiotr 'does money differ 'from any other "commodity ? or what cqfoity is there in the jjjllempt By Legislative enactment' to force a man to take seven per cent, for that which is worth twehrfr? The attempt is fruitless, Xtid alt mercantile experience shown 'that no Usnry Law can bo rigidly enforced, flyep if practicable, the only effect -vpquld be to diyert capital "to sections where trade is unfettered, and the lender is free to receive the price which his capital commands in ito market. Is it to bo supposed the * capitalists here will bp b6 patriotic "and accommodating as to lend their laaonej; at seven pei pent, when thoy 'can get twelve in onr sister States 'Xr -*h?k Rrtiith ? ' "Even in Georgia, irhefs' t$e Usury Law is in full operation^n^oney commands thirteen per cent.?seven per cent, interest, and One-half per cent, per month in the "way of commissions.
