Jflttw law Kcjxm Is Are made. A Committc of tlie Bur Association, in s? recent communication, call attcntiou to the evils uf tlie present eystqui nf Law Reporting, which they show up in n great variety of ways, and by a exhibition of some facts uh'ch show that the makers of law books, liko etiler gentry, are "a commercial' people." This matter is chiclly interesting to the lawyers whose pocket* are depleted for tho purchase of these book", Und whoso shelves arc on - cumbered with tho ponderous tomes. Rut tho people are interested, also, in Whatever adds to the cost of legal services ns the lime and money consumed over these useless hooks certainly do. Mow unnecessary and how nndisci imiiialiug these law reports arc, a few statements from the Committee's communication w ill show. Seven independent reporters in this Stale now issue seven series ol tegular reports, iu all averaging some eighteen volumes annu illy. In the 505 years ending in 1 .S7:2, the law reports published in England Ulli (tinted to 1,03(1 volumes, while during the last 71) years ?100 volumes' were-published in this Stale alone. Besides, there are 190 volumes of the I"tiiic.d SlatOS Reports utfd taken all together, the published reports of this county number more than 2,000 vol times, which shows how mach more a young Republic can accomplish in 7:( years than an "effete monarchy" can in 565? These reports arc encumbered by useless rcpotitious. Six volumes of Abbott's Practice iu^orls, Carefully examined, .show one case reported seven times, and one reported six times, eight Luces five times, thirty nine three times, and ECVOUty seven twice. One liuudr d and fifty-one of these cn*cs arc itltroduc cd iu other Ri ports. None of these re appear iu the Common L'leus lleports, and tlio Ear Association Committee compliment Judge Daly on his diacrimi nation, [n eight examined vnlumo* of Earrour, one care is reported eight times, nno one six- Seven cases arc reported five times, and fifty-eight are reputed twieo. Very often the opinions ofSpc cial Term and Gtucrttl Terni .no r?p ir ted together, and Supreme Court dcci si?irs are roportod uftvr they have boon uffirilicd or reversed by tho Court of Appeals. This of ouriQ is iibso'utcly liunecessary, a mere waste of words and 11 heedless disregard of what the Courts arc doing. The books ate filled with bad laws and no law, and hundreds ol ?pu?stiuns of no sort uf importiineo are raised, the appeal often being made sole for the purpose of delay. There is also it*needless prolixity in the reports, und tho vohmos ore padded and distended beyondjill reasonable proportions. Si me of the English reports contain more than two hvudrcd cases. The earlier volumes of,John-on contain one hundred and lil'ly cases; while the av rage of ouf pre, ent Eeports is something like sceiity five or eighty. Another peculiarity of Law Reporting is the archaic side ol it. and the delving after fos*ils, So consi le rately indulged in. Thus llaih nir re ports a c.isj iu 187*2, which wa* decided in lSO'J. This case was rep u ted by him in ist;;;, though it bad baon reversed al that timo. Another 'oasoj decided in 1882, was reversed iu 18G3, and repor ted in Harbour last year In one of Keycr's reports, a head note contains a proposition which tho Court distinctly said it did nut determine. There are also long delays iu publication, and im portaut ciisos are four of five years in getting into print. The Ear (Jmumittci conclude their review of this subject without unking any recommend it ion, and they appeal to the lawyers of the State f"r suggestions before ihcy suhniil ti dofiutts proposition. Enough is known ni l his liti v lloporliiig business now lo show that it is an evil from which the Ear should bo rescued and ono win e n men dm cut is of vory greit importance. ?N Y. Com. Ad.

All over the country the polorrd pc<> pie are proving what we have so .dien writ! ti about thorn, they are bard work ing, economical, thrifty population. In the up country, in (he low country, all over the State, it would surprise any but a newspaper man, whoso business it is lg look into these things, lo realize what the colored people are doing. In tin' up country they nre working bard, sav ing their money, buying live, ten and twenty acre tracts an 1 building up (lieu own bumble and prosperous hnuiusloads. I ii the middle counties thoy are progress ing still more rapidly and successfully. In the low count- the amount ol cotton the colored pro|>'< send to market is astonishing, and in some pi nes they, have iu copartnership purchased some ol' the fines! plantations along the coast. All over (he State they ate buying at 1 the close of the bUsjuCSS SC 14011, lands. horses und farming stock of all kinds. I pon every species ol this property they havo to pay tax, and those who own uo property have to meet tho tax gatherer through their daily labor; because, if they go to the country store to buy ba con, codec, sugar, Hour or any of the necessaries of life, they have to pay a price that will cover tho store keeper's tax and other expenses of his business. These truths tho people are beginning to learn, to talk about to euch other, and they are beginning to investigate the conduct of their public officers. They sec a man go to the Legislature or into some county office who bad not money enough to buy a new hat, aud in a few mouths he can drive a horse and buggy and wear a gold chain that dazzle the eyes id' the very men who sent htm in* o office.
