TUE PRESIDENTS HESS AUK. President Hajes has sent in a long message to Congress the burden of | which is, the elections.in the South. Mr. Hayes thinks that these elections have been unfair, and need investiga tion, and doubtless wishes that the Democratic members of Congress from this section should not receive or retain thoir seats. It seems im possible for men to look at and deal -with others as they would themselves. | If the people of the North were placed in the same position .idm: we are, and bail the same politicjebpro blem to grapple with, would they dp any better than we do? We would' like to see the tables turned for a short time merely for the experiment. Wc would sec then if they would practice so devoutly what they are now preaching. It is very good to stand off at a distance in safe 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 the world over. "Wc all want fair elections and we ?will have them too if left alone nud given time to work out our political problem. The subject is now engag ing the minds of all our leading men. Eleetious must bo fair, and at the same time our civilization must be maintained. If the blind partisan ship and fanatical legis lation of the North is to ruin the .South, we'wottld 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 V 11 lead. There are oilier 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 stales is very proper. The state appropriations are inade quate to the purpose, and wc hope that this scheine will be carried out. TAXING DEBTS AS PROPERTY. A correspondent of the''News and Courier" brings to the attention of ] that paper that, under the existing laws, taxes are paid twice on the same piece of property by the system of taxing the property and then the bond and mortgage given for the same property, if il is sold. For instance, if Mr. A. has $1000 surplus money he pays a tax upon it, and if that money is safely invested, be also pays a tax upon it. If Mr. Ik borrows that $1000 and pays for a tract of land, he pays taxes on the land, w hile a tax is also paid oil the mortgage, so that the same piece of property is paying the Slate tw ice This is a diilicult question of taxa tion which affects other Slates be sides South Carolina; but it certain ly ought not to be as it is, . ml we call the attention of Olli' Legislators to the mutter. The "News aud Courier"' suggests the following remedy: ?'Now it is plainly wrong toTtuxn man twice on the same property, and we most earnestly advise the South Carolina Legislature! to take t his mat ter into consideration. 'I ber?' are two ways of meeting the diflleulty. One is', to exempt from the taxable value of properly the whole ainotllil of encumbrances upon it, so that the person who holds and lends, not the person who receives and owes, shall alone pay the tax. The other und belter plan is, to> exempt from taxation every mortgage deed. In this way the person whojonds li a thousand dollars knows that he w ill get the [ate of interest that was agreed upon, Without any rebate or reduction. The lortgnge is an evidence of debt and is utterly absurd to make what one ^ves pay as if it were something that lc had." (The Fair! The Fair!! The Fair!!! Kmc bill the brave deserve the Fair! Jn some ejrcles a question bnB arisen as to the practical Workings and benefits of 1 he Oowor law as it now stands in our State, and Jthc nt tontion of the Legislature is invited to the matter. As the law now stands the widow is entitled to dower in all lands alienated by her Khsband dur ing the coverture in which she lias not f?'r?i?rly relinquished her right. As a cousequence of this in ti o sale of all lands by a married man his wife's relinquishmctrt of dower must be taken before a magistrate at great inconvenience and the additional ex pense of t wo dollars. The arguments urged against the present law are, that it increases the cost of examining titles; that it cau&'e?^ greai inconvenience iu all troragfgflfl of property-, that it works iuiniiou and unjustly to all pu lose by it one-third . what they pay for; and tin t . ried women, und er t I?o new ????ntriff?'. tion, are ni'owed to hold pion, their own right and .to :tvt.-'\? selves, of tin honnstoadAfot.ippon. this faw provide*^ryrfhotn toc l hin' the lav' of dowc? .tw;Geoi'gin^?tfd other Statc'of the Union, the/^nver l ight is iihitcd to by t*e*n/sband at t in-line of iiis'dcntb, pinion, at present, to exBjtes on the subject, but merely pres) the matter for the considera tion ofour law makers. LAWYER'S FEES. A lively discussiou sprung up in the Legislature on a bill introduced to limit the fees of lawyers. The leg al members of the House rushed to the rescue with considerable alacri ty. It was urged by the projectors and supporters of the bill that lawyers fees were often ruinous, and in many cases consumed the whole of the estates to be settled. Air. Ward.the father of the bill, cited cases in Edge field in which estates were almost en tirely consumed by the cost of settl ing them. Mr. Barber said that costs were now so high that, although he was a guardian tor three estates, he would not settle them, because be knows theytvouldjbc absorbed by the costs. Major McCrady, Col. Simon ton and others opposed the bijl. /Elie_foruim said thut Hie elieajFer litigation was made the more there would be of it, and therefore be favored the fee bill as it was. Col. Simon ton took the same ground. IK: thought the pas sage of the bill would open the door to useless litigation. After a hot light the bill was killed by a vote of 72 to 43, and the law yers fee bill stands as it is, unscathed hy the assault. The blind partisanships of the colored people, is, perhaps, exhibited in nothing more forcibly than their refusal to vote for the proposed Amendment to the Homestead, law appended to the Democratic ticket in the recent election. The object was to extend the law so that those who owned no land could get $500 ex emption of personal property. It was therefore intended for the bene fit of the poor man. "Kxccntor's Sale.
