Tin: cum-: woasK THAN THK KV li.. lu au article, beaded "Tho Law'? Dolny," the Newe ami Corn ier naya : "In tho North American Review for April, 1885, Chief .Justice Hargis dis cusses thia well-worn topic. Tho ai tide it-elf ?a mainly ntl animadversion ; a ropetition of the* reproaches, and charges which are daily inado and repeated. Tho causes of Ibo law's dolny, ho ?ilya, arc dernagogism, untaught nnd selfish legislators, lobbying, n poor judiciary, corrupt ami ignorant jurymen, tiie bulk nud, therefore, tho uncertainly of the law. All this may bu BO, but tho evils Judge Hargia nnmca nro evil? to bo cor rected. Tho legitimate conclusion, from his point of view, is that thc law'? delay is an inevitable evil, liko original sin, that can only be cured when tho body politic is Itself thoroughly purified ami made regenerate. * * * ? "A?suming uncertainty lo be an inevi table evil, how can the delny resulting therefrom bo practically reduced to a minimum? Thc evident answer is: first, by having questions Anally decided as speedily a? possible. When the first boat of a controversy is in (be minda of tho parties they aro beat prepared to go to trial, and tho moro speedy the decision tho flooner aro Ibo ill feelings consequent on litigation burk.', ami forgotten. When a cause once takes Ibo form of a lawsuit, and drags its alow length along, it geta cold, aa it were. Both tho parties and their attorneys dislike to take it up, nnd to prepare, timo and timo again, for trial, only to encounter a postponement, until the heartsick litigant cannot can not contain his reproaches for the 'lav.'a delay.' "An it now utanda in thia State, in a majority of the counties there aro but two terms in the year at which civil jury caaeB can be tried. AB a practical fact, overy lawyer knows that a case can bo and is continued by ono side or tho other at the first term ; but the clients have to bo prepared lest, by some mishap, they should be forced to trial. Indeed, out of the average of civil cases in the Stato the great moas never come to trial until they have been in litigation for over a year. Meanwhile, both attorney and clieut on one aide or the other have had to preparo and re-prepare until the client, at least, becomes sick of the whole thing. Tben comes the appeal. There ia a delay of aix mcntha before the case ?a heard by thu Supreme Court of the State, and thou of three or four months moro before tho Court decides. In tho case of the United States Supremo Court, it is .from throe to four years from the time of an appeal before tho appeal eau bo heard. -Tho remedy, no far as tho mere ma chinery of justice ia concerned, ia to have moro terras of Court. For thia in South Carolina an increaao in tho num ber of Judges, and a largo increase, is necessary. Inasmuch aa jurors dislike to be dragged from their work to try cases, the class of civil causes requiring juries should ba reduced. There is not . the ?ligtitest reason why tho large class i of civil cases not involving fraud should , not be tried by one or more Judges with out a jury: and certainly the absurd 1 and illogical rule that createa so many mistrials and delaya, via., that there ahnil i be tho unanimous concurrence of the jory, should bo abolished in civil cases ana n majority be allowed to control. Continuances should be more rarely ? allowed. Let it bo an understood thing that a causo will be tried at the first , term, aavo upon the strongest kind of showing; and enforce a penalty for de 1 lay, although both parties be willing. < "The Supreme Court must ait oftener, and if the Court as it stands would be overworked there .is necessary such an increase in the number of Judges, auch 1 a chango in the form, aa wilt allow di visions of the Court to decide ultimately < on different classes of caaes. And fur thermore there needs to be a change in the methods of the bar. . * . * m. * If our contemporary bad attended the < Courts and watched the administration I of justice in thu State with that close' ' ness with which a practicing attorney is I compelled to do, we Imagino that differ- i ont impressions would bavp boen made upon it in reference to judicial,proceed ings in ibis Stale. If we bad eight Circuit Judge? like Judgo T eaaley and < others now upon tho bench-learned in ; the law, diligent in work and ready in deciding-thero would be nocomplnintof ? crowded dockets in South Carolina. The i trouble comen from tho fact, that there i are one or two Judges who hero neither I the physical nor mental calibre to dis- '< charge the duties of their oiSce, and 1 hence they hold short sessions and do ' little work, leaving crowded dockets and 1 dissatisfied litigants. ' Tho law-sow ? provides for speedy trial, and no jury < case can be continued beyond the first i term ?nicos ??o party moving for a con- I tinuanoo shall oupmlt an affidavit that a > material witness ia absent, that ho cannot . go safely to tr'al without such witness < and that ho hos used duo diligence to . procur? thc attendabce of auch witness i To force a cito io trial under these cir- - camitances. would defeat' instead of . hastening justice. Neither would it be < wbO to abolish tho right of appeal upon mattera of law, for that vvctild placo the ( fights' of partie? at the capri co of an .( unprincipled or weak Judge, and thereby r bring (ho administration or justice into contempt. Nor t-hould thc Supreme Court bc increased with H view of per mitting divisions of thc Court to pats on diff?rent classes ol cases, tt is a small portion of Causes that are appealed, and though our present Court has been hard worked, yet wo have it from the best of authority that the Work is grow ing lighter, and the Court docs not desire an increase in its mealb?rs?p, as they do not think such increase would add to the efficiency of our system. The greatest objection which we have, however, to ihe views of our contciupo rary, is to Hint portion in which it advo cates thc abolition of the right to trial by jury in all civil casen, oxcept those involving fraud, and thc substitution of a trial by one or more Judges. The sub ject of fraud is one of equity jurisdiction, aud though the verdict of a juryman he resorted to for the determination of specific fflctH, thc verdict is only to en lighten the conscience ol* thc Court nnd does not hind the Court; therefore in abolishing jury trinl in all cases except fraud, tho Ntvet and Courier would prac tically abolish jury trials in all civil cases. Hut this change would not relievo of tho necessity of summoning a jury, for tliey would have to be present to try questions of fraud, and the greater part of tho expense would still be incurred. Wo are old fogy enough to favor the jury system, lt lakes men from the vicinage, who know the character of tire witnesses, aud who can judge more cor rectly and justly between them than one or two Judges could do. The unanimous verdict is right, to prevent passion or prejudice from sometimes getting control of thc Jury. To permit n Judge to de cido questions of fact would cnuse thc Supreme Court to havo jurisdiction of appeals upon the facts, or place thc rights of litigants absolutely In the hands of one man. This would he too much power. It would Inevitably lead to corruption nud oppression. Wo ?runt as little one-man's power in this country as wo can have, and instead of abolish ing tho jury system, we favor elevating and improving it by ?laving tho law properly enforced nnd thc juries taken from the heft men of the country. The law's delays are vexatious and expensive, but they are better than a sysiein which would pince the country practically under u one man power. A ritOPKK DETERMINATION, The press for some time past, upon both sides of the Atlantic, has been in dulging in predictions as to tho probable result of Mr. Reilly's appointment to tho Austrian Mission, after his withdraw al from the Italian Mission. It has been frequently stated in a semi-official man ner that the Austrian government would not receive Mr. Keilly because it was not complimentary to bnvo assigned him there after he h ul been withdrawn upon objection from tho Italian Mission, and for the further reason that ho cannot he received because his wifo is a Jewess, and, as such, not eligible for presentation nt tho Austrian Court. Tho matter has been settled by President Cleveland, and Mr. Keilly will either go tn Austria or that country will have no Minister from the United States. There is uo reason in the first objection that it is uncompli mentary to send a Minister to one coun try who has been rejected by another, an is shown in tho career of Mr. Sargeant, who waa appointed Minister to Spain and rejected by that government, after which he was appointed to Germany, and nerved for some time, until personal disagreements with Bismarck led to his appointment to Russia, wher ? he was serving in the first diplomatic position of this government when President Cleve land was elected. Sure' y Austria can afford to receive a Minister who hos boon rejected by Italy if Germany and Russia could alford to tnko ono who had been rejected by Spain. Tho first objection by Ibo Ans!rian government is nugatory, under tho precedents which leavej the correctness of President Cleveland's determination dependent upon tho second objection, which is that Mr. Reilly's wife is n Jewess and cannot be received at the Austrian Court. If this is a fact, sod had been known by tho Administra tion in advance of thc appointment, no doubt the President would have selected s Minister not so situated as to incur this objection, but having been appointed the United States cannot with self-respect recede from the appointment. It is the cardinal point in our theory of Govern ment that all of our citizens are equal, nnd os such that they are eligible for such honors ns our government may bestow. There aro no distinctions under our laws between nativo-born citizens of sty origin, and but one between native and adopted citizens, and that distinction ls made by tho Constitution, which makes the adopted citizen ireligiblovfor the office of President. Therefore, if Mr. Keilly were himself a Jew he would be eligible for the Mission to Austria, and when appointed he is the representativa of the United States. It ia not a right which we can recognize for foreign gov ernments to select our representatives for us, or to determine their qualifications. They might as well object to a man because ho believes in tho doctrine of republican government while they adhere to monarchy, or to object to him because be is a Protestant while they are Catho lics, or because he is au adopted citizen of the United States while their laws forbid expatriation, os to Object that a man isa Jew because they do not like Jews. The United States cannot recog nize such dis?inctlona as to its citizenship, much leas eau they recoguize it wbere the distinction is attempted to be applied to thc wife of a citizen. President Cleve land has therefore, we think, very prop sri/ determined that Austria, shall not bo permitted to classify American citi zens. It ls the only dignified position ha could have taken, and shows that tho new Administration intends to make this1 government aud its citizens thoroughly respected abroad. The United 8tates has if lato been so subservient to. the whine rf' foreign governments that they natut illy havo become supercilious in dealing with us, and we are glad to seo tba- nu American policy has be^c restored which ?111 maintain the honor and Indepen lenee of our government ??tr The Atlanta Artesian well ia 1612 tet d-?p and no "ile yu," Henry Irauy will have an artesian well or a allroad to China one.

To thc Editor of the News and (Jourier; An there seems to bc some misunderstand ing about thu arrangement for tho joint Summer meeting, 1 ask lo make tho fol lowing explanation, which I would Uko lo get before our farmers before Monday next, and through your columns ia the mont available source. I nm daily in receipt ol letters asking if the panses obtained are to include tho Orangem, or if the same courteay will not be extended to thc membern of the Orange as I have obtained for members cf the Agricultural Society ? Last February I had the pleasure of attending the spring meetiug of Ibu Georgia Agricultural Society, held in the city of Brunswick. I lound in attend ance nome '?'26 delegates. These dele gates, three from each agricultural socie ty, had transportation furnished by the railroads. 1 compared thin meeting with our last meeting, bold in tho city of Orcenviile, S. C., where, outside of the immediate Piedmont section, there was ' not two dozen delegates present. Furthermore I wan very favorably im pressed with the fact that our meeting?, were growing into seemingly more favor with our political friends tuan with our farmers, and that in a measure they were failing in tiieir intended mission. So after learning how the free transportation niau lind built up the Georgia meeting?, now lt had been the means of organiz ing agricultural societies where nono before existed, I determined to make an e iib rt to obtain tho same privilego for our (armers, and with that view opened a correspondence with Borne personal railroad friends. Mainly through the assistance of Mr. Sol. Haas, trallie man ager of tho associate lines of Virginia and the Carolina?, I obtained tho con sent of all roads in the State to transport three delegates from each County to tho Bennettsvillo meetiug. I am asked why I did not ask for three Fasses for each society. Io the llr.it place was fearful of asking for so many passes, and, in fact, at the time I wan only thinking of building up the State Agricultural Society, furl was well aware that tho Grange was most ably presided over by tho present Master, and that furthermore tho subordinate Oranges paid the expenses of their delegates to the Spring meeting, whilst our membern paid their own expenses. I am also asked if in a county where there is no agricultural society tho Grange of said County could use tho passes. My ar rangement ia for passes for three delegates from any agricultural organization prop er; no matter, then, if it ia called an agricultural society, club or grange, so any County that has no agricultural society or club, but baa a grange, will moat certaiuly bo entitled to the passes, and, I hopo, will send the names in due time to tho secretary. Now, one word more for fear I may be miiunderatood for a remark I made above about our meetings being popular with tho politicians. 1 hope they will contin ue tu attend ; we will be glad to sea them and to hear thom talk. Many of them talk much better than they plant, and practical fermera get some good ideas from their tbeoriea. But the brat motive I have ia to get a full delegation of all classes of our farmers that they may reap all Ibo advantages po.-uiblo to these meetings ; after that wo will bo moat pleased to eco any and all of our friends who uro interested in tho material pro gress and prosperity of South Carolina. D. P. DUNCAN, President Foreman's Fearful Fall. Several days ago the Constitution con tained an account of the frightful fall of young B. F. Foreman, of New Orleans, from a precipice at Tallulah Falls laat Friday. It was at first thought impossi ble that he should recover, but now there is hope that he may survive a fall which it seems imposaiblo for any buman being to bavo Buffered without instant death. Yesterday Dr. Willis F. Westmoreland returnel from Tallulah Falls, whore be bad been called to see young Foreman. Tho doctor Bays that hia injuries are very severe, but are not necessarily fatal. Ula right arm is broken and there are several bruises all over the head, face and body. A severe wound waa made in one of the legs, which penetrated the bowels. The patient suffers Boverely, but 1B perfectly conscious and relates tho cir cumstance;, of his accident. He was walking on the edge of one of the lofty precipices near Tallulah Falls, when a itono turned and be was precipitated down. At every fow feet of bis frightful de Kent ho would strike, a lodge of rock or a troe which would break the force of his foll but would not stop him. Thus he bad a succession of falls until be reached the bottom of a ravine nearly three hun dred feet below the point from where he tell. At ono place he br.d a perpendicu lar fail of fully thirty feet. By the time be had reached the bottom of the ravine be was, ol course, unconscious nud almost lead. For twenty-four hours be lay Ibero while hi? family and friends were icarching for him. The young man ia a strong well-formed fellow and may sur vive an experience such probably aa no living mao ever had. He ia a son of fudge Foreman, of New Orleans, and ia i young man of fine promise.

YVJI-KON, N. C., July 3.-Willie .Sams, aged 0 years, son of a farmer living near here, to day murdered his infant brother, aged 3 months. Tho child had been given him to hold, and he went out in the sun with it. ile had some time ago been taken to a child's funeral, and man ifested great Utterest iii its burial, which he did not seem to understand, ile hui frequently prattled about it recently, and asked many questions as to how the child was got into the collin, and when it would come out. To-day, when he reached the ?;rove, about three hundred yards from lis father's home, he took a small box, which ho had previously carried to the spot, and after scooping out u grave in tito saud hy a small brook, he placed thc infant in the box, nailed down tho top, and buried it, even going through the form of delivering a prayer and singing thc hymn. After he had filled thu grave he stamped on it, and slowly went back home and told his mother what he had done. Ho said it "was just like Mrs. Arthur's little baby'c funeral." The mother hastened to the sc?ne, the grave was reopened, and the infant found dead, with its right arm broken and its -kuli crushed.-New York Sun. The Electric Bell Wire. Thc following description of an inven tion of Mr. A. O. Warren, of M ayes vii le, fl. C., will bc read with Interest : Wires are to be permanently fixed to cars of any kind, forming a complete circuit on each car separately. When the cars are coupled together the connec tion in made between thc wires on one car and the wires on the car next to it, forming ono circuit over (or with o* througn) as many cars as may be coupled together. Cars may be shifted out or taken in without interfering, and even "foreign" (those not provided with this attachment) will not necessarily break thc circuit bel ween the engine and the last esr. It is an electric bell line, intend ed to take the place of tho old, heavy and uncertain bell corn, which is imprac ticable un freight trains, It can be ired not only by tue conductor while on the train, but also by tho coupler while on tho ground or between the cars. This will be appreciated where shifting is done, especially at night. Several attempts of this kind have been made, and nome have been patented, but we have heard of none that went auy further. There is a working model of th? attachments, which was pronounced by Mr. Munn, of the Sienti?c American, thu best design for tho purpose that had ever come to thc patent office. The inventor will in a few weeks bo prepared to put it ou the cars of any railroad that may wish to use it. - "You may look out for a brilliant couiot in the no-,i th western heavens early in August or the latter part of July," said Prof. John M. Klein. Kentucky's astronomer. "Upon what theory do you baso such n prediction?" "Well, the fact ol tho matter is that I have noticed for several nights the unmistakable path or orbit of the comet. Look I Do you Bee that great streak in the beavens resembling nome what the milky way? it ?B the path or orbit of a great comet, and that great streak of light is the gaseous Inalter that follows in the wake of a comet. It is impossible lo seo it at present, as it travels in the orbit of the sun, whoso brilliant light during the day prevents the human eye from gazing at it. The deflection by the latter part of July or August will, however, bring it above the horizon during the early even ing hours when it will be plainly visible, and when it will be of the first magni tude." Aa Prof. Klein has heretofore predicted and discovered comets with unfailing accuracy, the fulfilment of this rircdiction will bo looked forward to with nterest by thc scientific world generally. - Fifty years ago it cost six cents to send a single sheet letter any distance less than thirty miles. Between thirty aud eighty miles the rate was ten cents ; between eighty and 150, twelve and one half conts ; between 150 and 400, eigh teen and one-half cents ; and over 400, twenty five .tents. For two sheets double prico was charged. In 1845 the unit of weight was fixed at half an ounce and the rate for any diatanco under 300 miles was fixed at five cents. Above that distance tho rate was ten cents. Six years later the rate was reduced to three cents, for which letters could bo sent anywhere under 3,000 milos. Io 1863, three cents waa made the uniform rate throughont the Union ; and in 1888 the rate was reduced to two cents. Every one of these reductions has been productive of an increase iu revenue: and it is not likely that the reduction just a fleeted will prove any exception to the rule. - Au Arizona editor thus records the virtues of a dead townsman : "We drop a tear os we record the demise of poor Billy Muckrow. His genia) presence and hearty laugh added a new grace to the most exclusive saloons of the town.' We nay it without fear of contradiction, Billy was as a chessboard. He was no chump. He never killed a man without cause ; he never forgot to settle his score on the slate. He never refused to go out on a hunt for boss thieves, nor toante up his little pile when he bucked the tiger and lost. And he was a rustler when cut with the boys. Bat bis crown ing virtue was that jost before his death ho paid us a three years' subscription in advan o for the Howler, and we assure his widow that the paper will, be deliver ed to her on tims every week. Stranger, go thou and do likewise." - The New York Mail and Express reminds tho public of tho following facts : Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, under instructions of his house of borgeues, offered ibu resolution declaring the colo nies free aud independent on June 7th, 1776; the committee to draw the resolu tions wss appointed Jone 11th, reported on July Isl and the declaration was adopted July 2nd and wa? signed on the 4th only by the President and Secretary of Congress It did not receive lbs sig natures of tho "signera" until August 2d.
