The District Court.
The Court closed its sittings on
Tuosday afternoon, after disposinig of
what entisos woro on docket.
We havo observed in our exchanges
somIo sovere animadvrions upon1 the
District Court system, as burdening
the Stato with a heatvy tax for which
1here is no adequate oquivalent.
This scems to us to ho altogother an
error. It is absolutoly necessary that
mnore tribunals of justico must be es
tabilishied, tromt the nature of thte cir
coinstances ini which we are now pilac~
ed.
ILtiut bto remtombleredl that about
four hundred thousanud more inhabi
tants in South Carolina haveo rcently
been addpd to the nmnbtller of equals
in law. The coutmmon s0enso quest ion
then arises, will it not requiro mtoro
Courts to d1ispense jutstico to a popula-.
Lion of seven hundred thousand, titan
to onie Of three hiundredl thousand.
Resort must be had either to the Dis
trict Court system, -or to another
eqanlly an expensivo, or rather mnoro
cxpensive, which is to oxtend the
taerms of the Superior (Jourts, which
would require a greater number of
uircuitr and of judges.
There will be thousands of enses for
two or three years to comec, tried in
the Distriot Courts, whore there is no
rand Jury, and but one petit jury,
and that consist ing of but eight jurors.
Ifere then is a feature recommtend
ink the District Court as one of econo
my. Dispense witht this now addition
to the Judiciary of the Stato, and the
docketa of the Superior Courts would
b)0eoncumbered with a burden of oes
from witich they never would be
cleared.
There are other f'eatures in the sys
tomt in question rocommonndinag, it but
we do not pr'opose at present to recur
to all of them.
Below are the sentences prononced
by his Honor, Judge R obertson, avho

Who Pays the Cotton Tax?
Having been led to the conclusion
that the cotton producer in Fajrfold.
pays the trx of three cents as a pro
ducer, or in other words, that the tax
is a direcot one and each one pays in
proportion to the amount of property
in cotton he holds, we are now to no
tice another relation sastained by the
producer to the income dorived by
Government or by trade from the ar
ticle of cotton.
The first point deserving attention
is that every cotton producer in Fair
field is also a consumer. This is a
point giving rie to considerable con.
fusion. The confusion is in confound
ing a direct with an indirect tax.
There can, however, be no conflieting
here. Either the producer pays all
the tax, or the consumer does it., An
exanple will perhaps best illustrato
this proposition.
Assuming that froo trade is estab
lishod betwoon.the United States and
England, the producer would realize
a profit upon his cotton equal to the
amount be received for it in Liverpool,
less the costs of production and trans
portation. Of courso that proft
would be In proportion to the cost of
production vit-h the demand for cot
ton. But now suppoe a revenue
duty to be imposed to tho amount of
three cents a pound. It iI certain
that the importer of cotton goods
must pay in addition to the profits al
lowed by demand, three more cents
more ccnts upon his manufactured
cotton goods than he othcrwio woul4
have to do. Now if that importer is
only a consumer, as for example a
planter, ho has of course the revenue
to pay upon cotton cloth, and lie only
has it to pay. It is true, contingon
cios may arise wheu cotton goods may
be bought by the consumer and Ie
not have the duty to pay, as when a
broken merchant is sold out at public
out-cry below cost.
But suppose in addition to tho tar
iff upon cotton goods, a tax of three
cents a pound is imposed upon the
raw material, which is really now the
ease-does the producer pay part of
that three cent. and the consumer an
other part 1 Is the tax divided be
twoon them I or does the producer pay
the whole of that tax I
Of courso our remarks apply now
particularly, to the cotton producer of
Fairtiold. They are applicable to
what is really the caso hero now, and
not to whatmighitbo the case if so and
so were true.
If cotton producers could control
the demand for cotton by controlling
its unipply, they cotild thon make the
burden of a direct tax of three cents
a pound fall upon the consumor.
But they have no control whnatever
over the domand.
A supposable case ofecontrol might
arisio under the following circumstan
es :If every mill in England and
the North were still to-day for the
wont of rawv cotton, and every pro
ducer in the South and in all other
countries where cotton is grown, held
the cotton and had no inmmediate use
for the money, thon thme cost of prod uc
tion, and th'o tax of three cents, as
well as a fair profit upon the capital
invested in cotton, might be realiznd.
But such a ease is not possible, and
therefore any additional cost to thme
produodr in the wvay of a tax upon the
raw material, is that much added to
the cost of plroduction, anmd the whole
of it must be paid by the producer,
without a probable reimbursement by
thme consumer.
Our remarks are mnado more to
draw out discussion upon the subject
involved that as a final exposition of
the principles in political economy
embraced in it.
The Newspaper in School.
It is a strange and accountable fact
th'nt, though newspapors are the in
dices in every country whore they
thrive, of the progrossof' over'y art and
science, of p)hilosophy, of finances, of
trade and of practical philosophy,
they have never yet been introduced
as an important feature in the educa

great reservoir into which flow strearns

Woman.
The' grootest opIo poet who 1has
written in the E]nglish language uses
two superlatives to describe wonian.
Sho is the "last best gift to man."
Man was mado to onjoy intelloutual,
social nud domestic life. In the first,
ho goes within himself for material of
enjoymoit ; in th second, abroad in
tile world, lhe finds a field for the ex
eroise of socialiky ; but in the family,
at hisown fireside, is drawn out ii
full play those tender, afiect.ionate,
and soul-delighting faculties with
which the Creator bansendowed him.
The union of hearts, is simiply the
consumimation of e natural' teldon
cy of the hearts ta' man and woman.
This tendency is to sook "a help
met." If the coalition Is not sus
cptible of all tile qualifying torus

Southern StAtes are getting back to
the days of tyranny and oppremsion
which sorely afflicted them just after
their surrender. But it is not be
cause they are doing anything to re

tyrannical rule. Deliberately, per
sistently and vindictively, the Radit
cals in Congress are dragging them.
back. Read again the bill published
in-the NrEsof the 14th, called the
Stovens' bill, which forces us of the
South under arbitrary military rule.
That bill since. then published has
passed the IHouse by a large majority.
No doubt it will be vetoed, but' what

It is no use to repine howevor.
The only romedy, tile only relief be

question about It, there ought to

of raising not one pound of cotton ex

If tyor a greator farco was played
in South Carolina, upon the po'itical

like to know it. This is the nomina
