Mr. Sn'u can be found at 'the Meoffice. 8tayLaw Again. -The last intelligence we have ofi this subject represents that" all the measures looking to that end in the House, have been tabled by a large and ive hope decisive vote, ou motion of Mr. Mullins, one of its most ardent snpporters. It is to be hoped that this is signifeant of a quietus to this chimera of Legislation interposition, and thpt it may continue to lay upon the table forever. Now as we pre sume this question nay be re arded as remanded back to individua; parties where it properly belongs, we are sure that it wil be imanaged with the patience 4d forbearance that we believed ve heretofore mark ed tile posi h of creditors, and with the policy and good sense which characterize individual transactions and which will sdroly furnish the safest solution. By our Editorial letter in to.days .issue it will be seen that the Senate ias passed without opposidion the Dis trict Court Bill. Editorial Correspondence. COLUMBIA,.Sept. 18, 1-866. You little Printer's devil, you little big old humbug, you- but never, inind, I won't quarrel with you now, but don't you do me so again. look at the l8th's issue, Where you way "special with here and there a %courting scene," I said "spiced" &c. Where you said "rescinded and pass ed with amendments," I said recon sidered" &c. In the Senate yesterday the Bill to -establist Districts Courts was again taken and passed without opposition, after being amended. It was an nounced in the course of the discus-' sion upon it, that there was the high est authorit'y for stating that if the General - \ssembly 1 assed thip Bill, the Provost Courts would be abolish .ed throughout the Ftate' within two weeks after these Courts shall go into operation. Wonder if 'tis so ? All the measures before the House smacking of Stay Law prifciple were yesterday laid on the table. 141- is .likely that to-day the Bill fromi the Senate, suspending action in certain cases before the Courts, will ,come up beforp the House. It is an evil omon that so many Leg islators are counselling a repudiation of the highest Judiciary in the State,' and trying by subterfuges to evade the letter of a Stay Law while they enact a law of that kind in spirit and in fact. We have for months been charging the Federal Legislative de partment with gross violations of -their Constitution, and now we Ignore our e own. 4 . ,What is the country coming to 1. .Wh.ile the elements of discord, aye, of civil war, are gaining in strength every day in the North, apples of dis cord are lavishly -strewn in- our midst. In Missouri, what iis the exact state of political disturbance ? Gather it t'rom the appeals, not of Radical jour nals, but of the Conservative ones. "Get' say these journals to their par ty-"yot caps and guns and amitni tion, and be ready for 'the conflict." To reny mitld it is a foregona concli sion 'that such a conflict will take ,place North. See 'the declarations of the New York .UeaW, a paper whicki sue of Vriday last, it declare's that the success of the Radicals in Maine is but the ground-swell that will sweei the North ; and it adds, which Is preg nantly significant, "we bow to the de oision of -the mighty North." ' . We then of the Soith should preserve a calm and united body, not that we can do anything for the benefit of our friends in the so-called loyal States, but that we may not aggrivate the evils incident to our present political Atatus, by admitting and cherishing domestic disturbing elements. Those two savage wild beasts, des ?otic power and ddmocratio ambition, as Alison denodlinates. them, arQ ram. pant now, they are broken' loose from the confines of conservatism, and are seeking whatever they may devour. The womb of the future is filled with horrors for this country before which the bloody record of.the French Reign of Terror may turn pale. As' for my longer hope of a return to first principles on the part of the poo ple of the United States, there is not a particle of ground for it. A bloody civil commotion is now inevitable, and when its howls an4 shrieks are passed, will arise a repetition of the scenes of the last days of Bome and of the vari ous experiments by France to estab lish government three-quarters of a century ago. I pity the sanguine spirit than can look at the facts now staring us in the f4ce, and say that all this is the wail of an alarmist. He ill be most wofully disappointed. McC.
