(J AK Ll XOTOX A C*0" Pr inrietors. Tlie Silver Quest inn. Of nil questions that ure now be ing agitated, the most Important is the suspension of tho coinage of the standard silver dellar. Till ; ls a question upon v, liich the greal mass of tile people ure ill informed and they are content t<> allow thc agitai iou to re:na i 11 within thc halls of Congress. Public sentiment seems to be equally divided. There are those who believe that thc con tinued coinage of silver will bring untold disaster upon tho country; they contend that gold alone should be thc standard. On the other hand, there are thoso who cling to the dollar of their forefathers; who believe that the currency thal has been used from the beginning of our Government, and has brought us thus far In safety, should remain. Upon the proper solution of this question by tho Forty-Ninth Con gress, depends In a greal mensuro the future prosperity of our coun try. Thc fight ls made by tho national banks, thc holders of the Govern ment bonds, and resisted by tho people wi) " honest money goos to pay thes? oonds. Capital on the one hand against labor, demanding thal tho great hulk of currency now in the hands of the people shall be l made of 110 value, in order that the I value of the gold, which is con trolled by the banks shall be in creased. By the report of the Director of thc Mint, it appears that the na tional banks hold very nearly one half of thc gold in circulation in tile United .States, and only $11, 40ll,ti!)0 of the .*r07S,(l()ll,(i(i(l of the silver. [lei'O ls tin.' secret of the whole matter. These banks, hold ing bonds which they purensod With legal tender-;, worth 00 cents on the dollar in coin, now ask the government to chango thc stand ard from gold ami silver to gold ahme. We believe in the frei' COMinge of silver. While it is right (hal the bondholders should bo protected and all contracts of the government performed to the letti r, il is unjust lo legislate SO as to impoverish the laboring class. Those who toll for their bread, in the farm and al the forge, have a greater claim upon tile government than the few who control the wealth. "We need more money, as will be seen when we compare tho amount per capita In the United Slates with that of other countries. On theist dnyof.Tuly, 1 >s:>, thc United States had <?1G.6G| per capita, *37. 81) less Cuan France and $8.41 less than Great Britain. Willi an an nual increase of one million of pop ulation and our commerce con stantly growing, and consequently tiie demand for money ever increas ing, it seems to us a serious mis take to destroy over one-third of the currency of the country. No one, we presunfe, will for a mom cul con tend thal Hiere ls nn inflation of the currency. Property ls us low almost ns it ever has boon. Our cotton is sohl for senrcoly more than tlie cost of production, while nil articles of food are cheaper than they have been for years. We have millions of debts to be paid, and if all tho money outside of the banks bi; taken from us, we can see only a lamentable state of affairs ahead. Already, the bur dens of th?' laboring millions are grievous; and, while groan ing under the weight of an unjust protective tarill', it will be 0 matter OfsorlOUS consequence to demonetize silver. President CLEVELAND and many of our wisest and most patriotic states* men bolieve that the coinage of silver should be stopped. Tiley contend with equal force that to demonetize silver would bring prosperity upon tho country; but unt'l the great panic that spread over the country in 1873, just at the time when silver was demonetized, can be explained upon .some other hypothesis] we are unwilling to risk having the Interest of tho Country again paralyzed. It seems to us n significant fact, that when the silver dollar was again res tored to its pine? of confidence, al most liiimedia ly all branches of industry received a fresh impetus. The sale of tho Morgun art Cpl* lection in N'i'W York realized $1, :!(>:>, 100. The treaty of peace h;M\\ cen Ser iod iH>i;;itiia lut,s Weeli 'TUiIih d. Tin* Civil Service. The civil service policy of tho Provident lins been s ovo re ly criti cised by some Southern news papers und Southern statesmen. These severe critics seem to forget everything since tho election, ex cept tlr.it tho democrats uro in power. Presiden! CI.KVKI.AXI) has pledged himself to the policy he ls now pursuing, it was incorporated in the platform of the party that elected him, and adopted hy iho people who compose this? party. Tho President ls uot a mau who can folget his pledges, aud wo aro surprised to seo any true, patriotic, upright statesman who would ask lum to act as tho agent ot"tho sports men. So far as our opinion of civil ser vice rules is concerned, wo regard the whole a Hair a grand humbug. Wo believe that a public ellice is a sacred trust, and should only bo given to competent and worthy ?nen. Hut tho idea of hereditary succession, or succession ot* any kimi, is repugnant to tho spirit of our institutions. Wodonot believe that any ono man has Hie right to expect to hold an office during Iiis Whole life, simply hecauso ho was first to receive an appointment. Wc do not blame CLKVKI.A xi) for carry ing his pledges, and the pledges that secured his election, into ef fect, but we sincerely question thc fairness and justice ol' his policy The history of political parties in tho United Stales has been, thal when once in power, they generally hold this power for fifteen ot twen ty years. At the end of this po rlod it is usually found that tin do I'inant party lias become cor rapt,, ami the people demand ! chango. Now, when tho people do dared that the democratic nomi neo should tu- President of tin United States, it showed a distrus of the party in power, lt doclaroi that a reform was needed. This 1)0 lng tho caso, it seems to us hu common Justice that those win have held oftleo for fifteen or twon ty years shall give their places ti Others in sympathy with tho ad ministration, and who will carr; out Ibo reform of the parly. W believe in rotation in all offices OX COpt the Judiciary, and even in lld department we believe that it i detrimental to public service t hold on to men who have passe their ?lay of usefulness, lt WOUl hnve hoon heiter for us, perhaps had tin- d?mocratie party rejecte this policy, bul now that it ? pledged, let us show that wo fougl for principle, not spoils.

Thc Property ot* a Woman Not Liable for lier Debts. An Important Decision. lt has been an open question with lawyers, as to whether tho prop erty ol' ,i married woman would bo liable for a contrai t in which no reference is made as to ber inten tion to bind her separate property, This question luis been settled by our Supreme Court. They go far ther and say that no contract ol a married woman will bind her sep arate property, even though she intends it to have this elli ot nilli so expresses in tho contract, unless the contract as made with refer ence to her separate estate. In other words, the consideration of the contract must concern her prop erty in order lo make i' liable. We make an extract from an article in the Augusta Ch'ronicte from the Laurens Correspondent, on this subject : * * * Under thc act ns amend ed the Supreme Court has just de cided that a married woman can not bimi herself hysingningn note ' as suety for her husband, oven ? tho;,gb the note specifies thal it ls to bind her separate estate. In the Inst few \ear- th on sn mis of dollars have changed hands on the nssur nnco of married women's contracts, as a great deal of property is owned in this State by married women, and in many cases husbands can not get credit without the endorse ment of their wives. The result of the !aw is to inter fere with trade and commerce. Mindi property will bc locked up in the hands of married women, unaffected by contracts, as proper ty w'ns once hound up in England in religious corporations mid mon asteries. 11 may he doubled wheth er she cnn execute II valid mort gage oil her estate to secure the debt of lier husband, as the debt, thc consideration of the mortgage, in no Wav nffcots or concerns her separatee-date. Another result of this legislation ls giving tin rights of citizens con cerning property to certain persons without subjecting them tc tito II abilities of citizens. A married woman can make and break as many contracts as she jileases, can commit as many torts as she piensos with perfect Impunity, while a single woman would he liable in tho same manner ns a man. lt i- putting a married woman above the privilege of a minor, who is liable for necessaries, but it is doubtful whether she would be lia ble for such unless they related to her separate estate. A not her result of ibo law is, it will lead to unpleasant litigation in domestic affairs. A married woman when brought into Court will IlllVO to disclose the secrets of the family, ami there w ill be great temptation to her to exceed the truth ill trying to prove that a certain contract of hers does not benefit or concern her separate es tate. This state of things cannot long last. A change must come. Too nundi property lies concealed by fraud from the light of day, timi sheltered by the petticoats from the stern process or the law. Property ought not to exist in South Carolina free from Hie op?r ?t ion and effects t?f ordinary con tracts, It is hoped that the Legis lature, at the next session will amend tho Act SO that it w ill stand us it did ender the Act of IH70. The Legislature might give the amendment a retroactivo effect, so that all contracts made since 1082 would bo valid. This looks 'ibo impairing the obligation of con tracts, hut this the Legislature cnn (lo, provided it does not divest vested rights. To pass such n law Would bo more like saving vested rights than divesting- thom. Bloch property has ohangod h Ands on the strength of married women's contracts, find they Intended to bind themselves by those contracts In morality they aro hound. It would simply make them respon sible for what they thought they were becoming hound, and for what they,In good faith and morals, woro bound to make good. 11 is again rumored that the 'resilient is to he married this mmer.
