THE Pit LSI DEN PS HESS^UJK. President IfayCs bus soul inn long message to Congress the burden ol' which is, the elections in the South. Mr. Hayes thinks thai these elections have been unfair, and need investigti tioh, and doubtless wishes that the Democratic members of Congress from this section should not receive or rctaiu their scats. It seems im possible Ibl men to look at and deal ?withothers as they would themselves; If the people of the North were placed in the same positioilrahai we are, and had the same politieiri pro blem to grapple with, would theyoj^ .any better than we do: Wo would/ like to .-ee the !aldes I.:;rued for i\ short time merely for the experiment. We would see then if they would practice so devoutly what they art now preaching. It is very good to stand offal a distance in sal'.- and Soft places and talk morality and religion to us; but to practice it. when sub jected to the trial, is what proves the man. ? We are rather inclined to think that human nature is not much different t he world over. We all want fair elections ami we will have them too if left alone and given time to work out our political problem. The subject is now engag ing the minds of all our leading men. Elections mitsl be fair, and at the same time our civilization must be maintained. If tin blind partisan ship and fanatical legit lation of the North is to ruin the South, we'would ask in preference to be treated as a conquered subject and be given mili tary rule. This is better than Radi cal plundering to which the fore shadowed narrow national policy will lead. There are other parts of the mes sage which are worthy and we hope will receive attention. The recom mendation for national aid in educa tion in the -tali-, is very proper. The state appropriations are inade quate to the purpose, and we lope that this sein me will be carried out. TAXING DE UTS AS PROPERTY. A correspondent iff the''News und Courier" brings to the attention of that paper that, under the existing law s. ta\? .-. are paid 1 wicc on I he same piece of property h\ the system of taxing die property and then the bond and mortgage given for the same property, if it is sohl. For instance, if Mr. A. has $1000 surplus money lie pay- a lax upon it. and if that mouca\ i> safely invested, lie also pays n lax upon it. If Mr. I>. borrows that $1000 and pay for a tract of laud, he pays taxes on the land, while a lax is also pni Ion the mortgage, so that the ante piece of property is paying lite Slate twice. This is a dillietilt question oftaxa lion which affects other Stales be sides Si'iith Carolina; but it certain ly ought lib! t(i be us i; is, und we call tlic a', tent ton of oil r Legislators to the matter. The "Ne.vs and ( jurier" suggests the following rt inedy : "Now it is plainly wrong bftax;,a man twice n;'i tlic ^aiho property; itnd we mbal ca\ '???: . ?.'<: ' Iiie South ('aroliii:i Legi- ?' re tt? Jak'o'jhjf- mat ter into i oh -i iefnj idti. I'he're lire two ways of liieeltug tlit* dillleiiliy. <)m: is, Iii exempt front the taxable value of property Ihe whole amount of encumbrances upon it, so that ihe person who holds and h ad-., not the person who receives anil owe shall alone pay the tax. The otIier titd be.itir itlint is, to cxcinpl from luxation every mortgage deed. In thiswaa> the person tvhoJends II a thousand dollar- knows that he will get the rate of interest thai wasjigreed upon, lithoiit any rebate or reduction. The lortgnge is an evitleiice oftltdd and is utterly absurd to make what one ^ves pay as if it wen- something that te had. " kThe fair! 1 he hair!: The Fair!!! ur> but the brave deserve the Fair! H^nn: poyyeu. I m^ln some circles a question has arisen as to Urn practical ftprljings and benefits of the Dimer law as it now stands in our State,and the at tention of the Legislature is invited to the mat lor. Ah the law now stands the w idow is entitled to dower iu all' lands alienated by her Khsband dur ing the coverture in which she has not formerly relinquished her right. As a consequence of this in tl e sale of all lands by a married man bis wile's rcliiiquishriicut of dower must bo taken before a magistrate at great inconvenience and the additional ex pense of I wo dollars. The arguments urged against the present law are, thai it increases the cost of examining I itles; that it cam > great inconvenience in all transfer*; of property, that it works iiimnon and unjustly to all pin< low;.-; wt j lose by it one-tbirci oh one sixth/1 J w hat they pay r for; and that as u^jFr t ied women, under the new c^nrajf. tion, are allowed to hobt piopj(?f iv.ii their own right and \to uvaffi th< n selves of the honiestoadJf'^xcf.ipl im, this law provides JfafiXw.in I.v^tur than the law of ddjwci\ In Georgiaother Statc'ef the Cnion. Ute/oh)wrr right is United to the iaj?At owned by tftc'hisband at the^Tmeof his de:;I ii. Vohaveim "pinion, at present.to c.v^i'^ss on the subject but merely present t he matter for the considera tion ofonr law maker*. A lively discussion sprung up in the Legislature OU a bill introtlliced to limit the fees of lawyers. The leg al members of the House rushed to the rescue with considerablealheri ty. It w as urged by the projectors and supporters of the bill thai lawyers fees were often ruinous, and in many eases consumed the whole td" the estates to be settled. Mr. Ward,the father of t lie bill, cited eases in Edge field in which estates were almost en tirely consumed by the cost of settl ing them. Mr. Harber said that costs were now so high that, although he was a guardian for three estate.-, he would not settle them, because he knows they"wouldSbo absorbed by the costs. .*M tijer Mel 'rady, < 'td. Simontoti and others opposed the bill. The forpuo' said thai me eliefifer litigation was made the more then- would be id' it. and therefore he favored the toe bill as it \\:is. Col. Siliioutoii took the same ground. Ho though! the pas sag?- of the bill would open the door to useless litigal ion. j After a hoi lighl the bill was kilhd by a vote of 7:! to 43, and the law ycrs fee bill stands as it is. unscathed by the assault. . ? 1 'J'he blind partisanships of the colored people, is, perhaps, exhibited in not hing more forcibly than iheir refusal t<> vole for the proposed Amendment In the Home-lend law appended to the Democratic ticket in the recoil I election. The ohjeel was to extend the law so that those who owned no land could gel SfnOO ex emplion of personal properly. It was therefore intended for the beue lit of ; he poor man. llXCCTlt 0 ""s S.tli >.
