The Legislature is still hammering atthe StawLaw.-vainly striving tosat isfy the clamors of their constituonts by dovisilg some eh10o not obnox inns to court it uitional objeotions. The most plausible so far and one that un doubtedly vill pass the Senate, if it has not already- done so, is. tho-hill iu tiuducod by Senator TOWNrs of Greenville, providing for only one term of Court each year. In the House the Stay LaIw sentiminut has concentrated upon no plan as yet., and it is thought the Bill from the Sctiate will be accepted and umade a part of the Legislation of the Land. The authority is sought to be derived from the provision of the Constitution which invests the legisloture with power to establish courts and to pre scribe the periods of their Sesionms. Tho real effect and mauinaifest p1 Iose, is a pi actical Stay Law-by de erring execution ulponl debts.. With thi. Statuto in operatioi, the Spring Tormi of 1869, is the very ear) lest p.criod at which an execution call be ciiorced even if the caso' should move smoot blly through the breakers of technmical dtificulties and impediments. Credi itors- may. justly feel alarmed noiw. We doubt not the pract-ieal r-rul s will be a Im ultiplicationi of suits-al a fresh distress to dobtors instead of an amelioration of their condition.

It appears that at least one road ini the State-has violated its charter to such a degrowthat it is thought tihe publio attention and Legislativeu inter * forence is necessary to check it. It is rumored that thme President now on a Western tour will- return to WVashington via this phiace. . We would..liki to ses hijn down this wvay, A live P'resident is a i-rna avis in this section. George Wa hington made a tour through this St.ait when gigs * were the highest style of travolirg~ con veyances.. Talking 'of old times, there is ju'st - Chamber alias the Library of the University of South Carolina, a bust.of Christophoro Columbo, which being Atorproted, is Christopher Columibus.

With suebh a head, no vwonder ho struggled against principalities,. powers, Btorms and mutinies, and faced savages, to accomplish his grand undertaking. Hero too is the figuro reprosenting Huger who with another Carolinian (I forget his name) rescued .Lafayette from-Austrian tyianny, but who paid dearly for his noble spirit of adventure. The senato resolution to adjourn on .the 18th was yesterday in the Iouse made the special order of the day for Thursday next. Thero is a strong dis position in the House to make the ses sion indefinite. There is not a little dissatisfaction, and some are not slow to evince it., at the call issued by the Governor for this extra session. Tho Senate hus Lad published cop io of the opinion of the C'ourt of Er rors and of Judge Aldrich on the constitutionality of the Stay Law. It will have one ffeot, viz: to increase the unsettled dissatisfied state of pub lic opinion. No one who reads the dissenting w'gument of-Judge Aldrich can fail to accord to him credit for the clear, ablo and forcible preseitation) of his argument. It i.s, when road alone, convincing, and tihe impression imade on my muin~d was, that tie argument is very strong i llpport o the position takoi by its authtbr, but very impoli tio. A stay law may be of very great m'dvantago tothe .citizeus of the State considered without any rolation to .conmmnunities outside, but when so con, sidered, nothing can be more damag ing, except direct repudiation, to the credit of tie SIte. The Stay Law paissed inl '(1 anid coitinlued through tie war, an1id now called lor by 1111mY, hams ilemoralised time public swntiment, ofi te whole State. I wish the readers of tihe NEws could hear the delectable music now "at the dine of this writing" that is rever berathig throughout the walls of the old College buildings.

This point is iot to be in tihe route f tlie returning P'residential party. That. listitition is on its way back to the City of Magnificent Distmnces by another touto. Had you been here yesterday after noon you would have thought, and correctly, that this city does lie in the rputW of lawlessness In so far as the pledgp of the military authorities that thme ci'vil poweu should have sonmc re spect shownm it after the agreemnt be. tweon Gov. O'rr and Generail Sickles. The Gieneral is here, anmd yet in spite of promises and agreements theo.jail of this place was broken open by Major Walkor and a prisoner taken out by mnore brute force, by mobocracy. It, appears that the' prisoner wats a citizen confined for debt.. In tha4 con.. dition lie was enlisted in' thre a rmy Maj. Walker demanded hsis release. Those in charge of thre jail delined to give hinm up until a written order tvas received for his release. No respect was in this particular panid to the right of civil authority. Thme said Major not only forcibly took out the pr1isonler, hat abused the. Shoriff, Mr. Dent. in his absence, to such an. extent that the son of the' latter' tohl the officer he would report his language to his fath er. So lhe did, Mr. Dent msade a personal matter of it, attacked the officer and was about to chastise him a la fisticuff, when two 6thei' soldiers came ump, drew pistols and 'threatened to shoot. Th'le assailed eitizen, polite 13y invitedl the valorous three (the Ma.. jor had in the meantime drawn a pis tol) to perform the flashing . operations they piromisesd. '.IBut they didn't. Th" Major romarkdd 'that ho was call ed upon to fight in a ihanner lie was not accustomed to. The solo party challenged all three to walk round the corner and lie would fight all of thorn interown styl'e of belligerency. Wihthis eldsed the episode 'of anti civil 'order. The enmignrting element of the coun try may be accelerated in thoso plana by such high handed measures as this, and the noeo~migrating may well ask, "amnd who can blarme them for getting 'ont of' such a country 1" What will como of it -we cannot say. It . is thought that 0oen. Green, Command ani ';athi Post, was not a party in thi mater Heis highly respooted In thme Legislaturn thme matter en gaginig' imost attention is relief for the deobtor class of' the State. The vari schemes seoms to have culminated in "A bill' to- alter and fix the times for Isolding the Courts of Sessions and ~iiUm(On P'letia in this Stte" Theore wili ltm:tless be a considerable die cusin in~ the So'nate to-day upomlthrs Bill. It will be likely to pass. .Tis bill provides for .relief in this #ay. It proposes to have the Spring Lerms of the Courts of Laff held as usual, but that all suits and "other "process of the said. Courts, mesne and. ''Anal, now made retrnable to tie "Fall Terms heretofore ostabli'shod, "shall be returnoble to the Spring "Torms of the Court, in the yday of "our Lord one thousand . eight Bun.

"tablished by the first sotion of this "Act." It will be observed that this mnas urc would dispense with two terms of the Court in Fairfield, and substituto one in their place. This is unques tionably tamporing with Courts, and according to the decision of the CourU of4)rrori, it scons, it is in a - round& a-bout manner impairing the obliga tion of contfabts. It is a groat pity that any action is to be taken that smiacks of stay law principle.* More harm is to come of it than good.

COLommIm, Sept. 13, 1966. All day yesterday W'as taken up in the Seunato in- the discussion upon Mr. Townes' Bill for the suspension of the Courts. Mr. Sullivan-, of Laurens, made a spoch of about an hour's length in opposition to tho bill. He argued ably upon it, and declared that iT his constituents wanted a Sena tor to give them relief in the manner proposed in.that bill,- they must send somie other one than himscjf.. I ad mired him for that announccMiit. Catering to the popular sentiment is too nch of tho. reprcsentati've- style noiv-a-drys. . The Legislaturoean. do nothing that creditors and debtors cannot do better among thomselves. Look for a.moment at. the Bill un, der consideration. How does it con: pare with what was known as the Stay Law 7 1 will eneloso a copy of the original. bill with the report of the Committee on tlio Jumdiciary upon it. Lot your roaders judge for theanmmslvcs of the merits and denmerit.i. The Stay Law blocked dUecl7 tde' prosecution of suits.- Thiir bil does the saitoi',thming mndrecty... In.tho-Arst the engine is removedi frotin the' tra and thus the traian is preventedd running. In the lost,tho Wi en away, so thi even with this etie attached, thore is no' ehane for tli~ trainm to move. So tho-.dilerence be. tweeo.tho-Staiy Law and the -present proposed action', ik twcodiceaduur. and tweed le-dee.-. 'The better plain is for the' Lcgislag turo-to issue an address to the people of South Carolina, setting forthm thiq *mnpediments,oonst itutionu,11y, in. thme wimy of any action of theim- to give re lief in- the way in which- thoe' popular vojice sceoms t'o d'omand it. Yesterday I had a communication 'vritten and ready for the press, suggesting this course, but in looking over the pro ceedlings of the House published in this mornings issue, I find that just suchm a course-was begun yesterday in that body, introduced by Mr. Ilaskoll I hope such an addlress will be issuedl. Much is said by the advocates of this bill upon the distintion . drawn by Judge Aldrich in his dissehting opin ion, between tlio obligation of the con tract and the remed'y, and that'legis lation, upon. the latter implies no legislation upon the; formier. . "Thme remedy in no part, of .the contract," say they. Tfhe opponcnts contend that it is certainlhy'inoident to it.. It scenms to me that if special legis lation isnmade based upon this me abstract distinction, tshere will be no end to temporing with the' Courts, and eventually crippling and impaIring thme credit of the State. Contracts n'nd the means of enforcing the obligations assumed, are certainly .correlatives. Remedies were enncte'd for contracts ; eontraets are mado -with a. view to remedies. B would not lend,0 Cmon ey ini any great amnotmt -merely upon his wordl to refund it.. 'H10 -willvi himself Brat of the remedy in so far as it consists in getting sureties for pay.. mont of the anlount lo aned, and .sec ond of the remedy in so far as it- con sists in sueing and .gott'ing j tdgmen t, ifIthe frsbfals.. Now the rolwtion of the contract to the remedy is so close that to touch onie -produces anm effect upon the other. To illustrate.. E~ loaned. C a hundredl dollars in July 1866, and recived his note paya ble on thte first of July 1866. The note becomes ilue, but C is unable or unwilling to redeem it.. 'B knew when ho~mado the- lean the remedy could be ap' lied at the Fall Term.. of the, .Court. But th6 Liegislaura abolish& 'es that Court. Hlas It interfered' with the contract by abolishing the reme. dy ? Does that'aet impair thme obli gation of the contract 2 To my hunm ble judgmeht It does.. 'But say the advoonte,, the Connstju tion gives the Legislaturo power to establish vnd alter the . Coutts from timo to -time as it may think fit. This may do for a general proposition, but appealean hardly be made to the Con 4titution when the proposed logisla tion upon the matter in question Is mad'o'to- meot the domandi of one class of the people to the irect detri nient of another class, it wil! 'hardly bear the . crucible of reason. But enough for this time. - McC: P. 8. I opon my letter to add a note. At quarter past twolve to-day the final voto was taken upon Mr. Towines' Bill,-and was rejected by a vote 16 to I 12. Our Senator, I am glad to-pay, votpd against it. All the votes are re corded... Moc. COLUMarU, 1oet., F4,,1866.. In the Senate yesterday a Bilf was passed which will oncourage the ener gy and enterprise 'of the 'State to a great degree. . It is a bill. to seouro advances for agricultural purposes. It provi(des for the security of the par ty advancing money by granting him a lion on the crop which rnay be made during the'yoar in proference of 'all other lions existing or otherwise, t6 the extent or such advanee or ad 4 vances. Tho discussion upon this bill was one of much interest., It. was intro ducod by the Hon. T. C. Weatherly, S6ntator from Marlboro.. The Houso yesterday postponed un. til'Saturday the consideration of the Senate's resolution to adjourn -on the 18th..

A writor in thb P nix~ of thuis date anotes largely from gimsey's History of South Carolina to elhow -that the State is not for the first time embar rassed as to what kind of legislation the necessities of the peOople demand. It would be well for you to publish at ,least so much of said article as em.. braces quotations from history. Be yond all d{oubt history in this ease is wonderfully in support of these who contend that while legislation .affect ing the relation- between debtors and creditors, may give temporary relief, yet its effect ultimately is to do more injury to the State that the immediate gqod pan over compensate. I hope this State is forever done with Stay Lot me tell you' one fact-which has impressed itself upon my' mind by ob sorving closely our legislation. It is thet, however some persons may affect to treat sli ghtly th'o nomination of lawyers as representatives; I f'or 'one will heoaftee go for the general. prin eiple of sending at l.at a part of each dlolegation fri-m. thar. I )mot the iensible ydomanry and . artisans can legislitte for the general good,'nobody doubts thiat, but it is nuot all. of legis-. latlon to make law.

The Bill to alter amnd fix the. times fr holdi'ng Courts, whith was kifllisi t he Senate day before. yesterday, as8 yesterday (Frida) recotlaidered ozi motion of lir. Tompson, of Ab ville. The v6te- to reconside? was ,to 12, just the evoss- of .ha I utpon the motion to adopt the BIll .9-. on Thursday. The renson given for reconsideration was there were sonmo Senators who had not expressod'.their VioWs'upon-it.. They' had two days to do it ile.. So to-day botli Houses will enter upon, ndi doubt a long debate-up on similar moasurps.: * Some attention has beon called by Senators to the shifting legislation of the8'tate. The action upon this inens ure is an instinco in point. It is, to say the least, unfortunate, all thi dilly-dally upon a measure which- the Judioiary- has declared to outside of the prerogatives and powers and powers of legislation, It only proves expensive to the State,. to- the people. - The General Assembly is do bating unconstitutional measures day after day, at an expense to the people of from fourteen to fifteen hundred dollars a day. All the proposed icas u'ros onry onervato the recuperati-vo powers of the people. Here is a singular fact. Ropreson tatives from Districts least injured by the march of hostile armies through their limits, or by tho inroads of raid ing parties, are 'actually crying more lustily for help 'from the State than those which have boon riddled from the same causes. The great voluminous Pub.. Doo. containing alt the vituperation and slander that the Congressional Inquisi tion 6ould buy out of its suborned witnesses has come to the light. Iow pussillanimous its contests. What do you think Saxton testifies ? That svhen he walkod the streets of Charles .ton, somo. persons "made faces" at him. His conclusion-thorofore, tno South is disloyal. Sensitive -.General, that. P. S. After writing the above the House took the- final vote upon the Bill to suspend the Courts, and laid the original bill and the amendment on the table by a vote of 59 to 49. In the Senate the Bill of Mr. Towncs, rejected on Thursday was re scinOled and passed with amendnonts by a majority.of one. W. McO. tFR THE A ERALl,.] MFlsss.- Emim'ons* The prosent tin preodented sitiationx of the country rendersthe- okaraoter of its futuro quite, a problom, but bine will furnieh the solution.. Twenty-five year.4 hence the country may be in a condition. of prosperity,, even greatei- than. its past, wi'tie -products of',ogri'culture and 'the mqoh'lani'o artsinore--abimnclc and commerce more flouikling,or it may be in a state even-wo'se- than some o-f the mere despond ing antieipate, with, instead 9f cultivated fields, un improv ed and neglected lands ; istead of cities and towns, cllections 6f rude huts the abode of squalor and wretch. ednoss ; instead of inatoligenee, v'irtue, and religion, ignorance, nd -every form of vice, instead of the liteature of the p~ast or present, peOrhaps one or two .poorly supported newspapers In the territory of what was the once proud South Carnlina. This retro grado progress, if without a precedent would not be impossible, but as great, changes have occurred ; perhaps not in so short a time, but this is a fast age. Which of those will be the future condition of the country deends upon our action. The political -condition of the country and the character of its legislation effect much its prosperi ty by influencing industry and econo my, but these, en'couinaged by the form'er, and energetically and skillful ly exercised, can and will produce that desirable future condition, and their neglect will as certainly induce the undesirable condition mentioned. This industry and econonmy'in'order to. effctthe desired result, must be come general. .Ferhiaps the greatest difficulty. to be encounttered is, to- pro-. duce the praoti'ea-h eonyttion that the sauees~s of the gwhole- depends- uj5on the conduot of individuails. In convers ing on .this subject-the temai-k is -often hoard "nothing that you or I ean- s'ay or do will affect the condition of thme country." Il may be well sometimes for a man to bo-sensible of his insignifi cance but this does not relieve him of a responsibility, proportionate to his power, as a member of society.. An sure as rivers are formed by thme union of smaller streamsi so sure does the prosperity of a country consist in the prosperity of the individuals of which it is coniposed. Here the purest pa triotisiu and self interest unite ; as soon as aliabecome convinced of' this fact and' act accordingly,. so soon-will the prosperity of the couritry begin to mncrease in gieometrioal proportion, but the man who thinks and says that ho enn do nottling only adds-to the leaden weight that retards the whole. The press and public speakers-of thme sountry might effect much. by repeat-. adly presenting to the minds of men the idea of individual' responsibility. Phie Idea adopted, there must be omethingto~ work ik, and a way to go 0 work. The labor systom ofthe eountry is the . . . * first.subject that, demands attention as oil its success depends the ability to mako,improvemnonts in other depart ments, f6r as this fails capital 'will disappoar. Can the ljesent 'laboog class be relied on for tho 'prop , d necessary agricultural rabor he country ? 'M a grave qptestion. I am one of the few who thought thut tlihiope of rewird and the desire of acquisition would stimulate tho' in dustry of the emancipate-d negro to p .sufficient degree- to' make his labor as productive as bcf6re, but my obsorva tion leads n1:0. to conifess that I was mistaken. . Man is niaturally aversd to wearisome labor ; to prompt to it there niust be fear of penalty or de siro of reward. The education of this people has had no tendency to create a fear of want, it is a thing of which (nover lmving had to provido) they are utterly ignorant, and a degree of intelligence beyond what t.hoy possess,. Is necessary to produce-that ambition which arises from a hope- of gain.. The power of habit, opposed to these -stimulants to exertion, is equally op posed to exertion itsolf, wiken there is no immediate prompter, and to the ability to labor successfully without the direction of a superior judgment. The- want of montal culture will much retard the acquisition of means, the want of means will oporat' against the auquisition of mental culture, and the mutual action and reaction of these, though, probably not the great est hindrance,, would alone, in the face of the greatest encouragement .render improvement inl intelligence extreme ly slow. The want of intelligenceo and the absenco of the fear of punish ment, there being no way to punish common offences until a man has ac quired character or capital, will ren der moral improvements equally diii oult. It is to be feared then that the hope of the country's redemption, from its wasted condition, by the labor of the former labQring class, is a chinera. If this be so, and the country is to be redeemed, others 6f its population mu.st go to work in earnest, assisted by such immigrants as can be induced to take up thqir abode among us, by rep resenting to thmoim what can be done by energetic and intelligent labo.r.. - CivFrs.' .ETNGoF SorMUCs --A meeting of the survivors of Bonhiam's.
