Mortality Among our Judges.?
The Union-Herald says: "The positiou
of circuit judge in South Carolina seems
; to be rather dangerous. In 180S there
was eight elected by the legislature, of
whom live are dead, two resigned, and
one onljfremains on the bench. Orr,
Piatt, Green, Rutland and Boozer are
dead : Thomas and Vernon resigned;
Judge Carpenter is on the bench, though
j not in his original circuit. Of seven
judges since electc . three are dead, viz:
Lee, Graham and Townsend. In spite
| of this mortality, we hoar of several
gentlemen who are anxious to take the
risk of filling Townsend'sseat."
There is already a movement made to
fill the vacancy which must be done
quickly as the session draws to a'close,
judge Shaw lives in the Fourth circuit,
and it is suggested might be accommodated
with the vacant place, without
being forced to move his household to
the third circuit, to which he lias just
j been elected.
.By late advices Townsend is not dead.
Waiver ok Homestead.-We see
that a bill is now pending before the
Georgia Legislature, authorizing parties
entitled to the right of Homestead to
waive the same. This is, we think, a
move in the right direction, and we
I would be glad to see some such law on j
our own statute book. A party has now
I the right to transfer his Homestead, but!
| cunnot mortgage it. There is here an j
! inconsistency, and more than that a:
| positive hardship to the owner, since itj
adds nothing to his credit, and in this;
j respect is so much dead capital. Let us
1 make it available, and subject it to the
j ordinary incidents of property.
j CS?* The New York Ilcrald makes
| this rude reference to the leaders of the
!dominant party in Congress: "Osten
sibly a Republican caucus considers]
I plans for protecting the negro in the
(South; in reality it considers how it
can carry the elections in the Southern
SUitcs; and in these two points are all
i the policy of the dominant party?how i
i to carry the elections; how to get the I
j offices and distribute plunder, and howj
Itomaketho manoeuvres contrived fori
this end seem like movements taken to!
secure the rights of an oppressed people, j
CongrkssionAll.?Senator Robertson
; has introduced a bill which provides
j that the government shall assure the li- j
labilities of the Freedman's Rank. Itj
recites that the bank was established i
when freedman were wards of the na-l
jtion, and that they deposited their mon- ;
I ey in the belief that it was a government
institution. Jt also provides that when1
! the concern is wound up, and the assets I ]
are paid over, the secretary of the treas-j
ury shall issue bonds sufficient to pay !
the balance due the depositors in full'
in currency. This bill if not acted on i1
this session, will be pressed at the next! (

The Charleston Market for the Week
Charleston, Feb. ,13 1875. J
Tiik Financial and Commercial ,
Situation.?There has been an ample
supply of funds at the chief financial
centres during this period, and the rates
for loans for first class collaterals have ]
been at easy figures,'the Bank of England
discount charge remaining at 3 per
cent., while call loans at New York
were at 2?3 per cent., and prime commercial
bills at 5(S)(j per cent, per annum.
At this point has been in good J
offerings for the undoubted obligations j
atabout 1 percent, per month, with increased
rates foriuferiorsecurities.' The '
commercial movement has been quiet t
and limited, with a moderate businesss j
doing in a jobbing way, but more ac- J
tivity is anticipated witli the opening of '
the spring trade.
The New York gold market exhibited 1
the following fluctuations during the <
week: On Saturday, February 0, was '
at 14|, 14jj@14J. On Monday, Feb. (J, f
was at 134, 14J(^14i. On Tuesday, was (

On Friday, was at 14|. 14j, 148, 14i@
? * 1
i-i?.
The Chops.?The weather for much of
the time was dry, cold and winter like,
and ice was generally formed around
this vicinity, but afterwards became
wet and unsettled, closing clear. There
is an increasing necessity for a dry and
moderate spell which will permit planters
to proceed to a proper preparation '
of their lauds, the work on which is at present
somewhat backward, caused by
I the wet period during January. The |
'area to be given to cotton will probably
| be lessened, the low price of the staple
rendering increased attention, to the
provision crop absolutely necessary and
the greater difficulties which planters
experience in getting loans will force
them to adopt a policy which will render
the plantation largely self-sustainTte.
