We S?d 1 tlie doekets of this court
are encumbered with man j trivial and

stealing from ike neld, and to petit

gery* where the amount involved does '?
not exceed twenty- dollars, be so raod

that tfeey be allowed to sentence goit- !

one mouin for each oue dollar involy-.3
ed^ and that no such cases be tried in 1
the circuit'court exeept on appeal, !
when errors =0? Triai Justices might
be corrected
We find a source of complaint and ]
of evil in. the absurdities and incon* '
gruif?es und abstruseness of a number 1
of tbaStatnle laws unwisely enacted '
in past few years. '
As interpreted by the courts, they {
wo^'har^^ip'^d iijjury by prostrat- J
ing and destroying, the credit of thc
people, by fostering and encouraging
fraud and dishonesty, and by furnish- *
ing a "c*oak and shield to tricksters' 1
and swindlers* while they afford but !

m?re than it is worth, if available af !
alf; ender these laws the meanest,
and most systematic scoundrel may be \
* strictly law-abiding citizen while -j
practicing his/schemes of lat avery.
-These law? are misleading and de- j
ceptive in the extreme, and while they \
are tair in their exterior appearances, .
they, contain tn disguise all the ele- J
men ts of discord and wrong.
They arc calculated to decoy ?the ^
innocent and W in- i
tr?eseles of plots and counter plots ; J
covered as snares in the coils of their '
real meaning, and invisible except to
the roost learned Judges and subtle '
lawyers, and nnder their different
phases of legality "all the intrigues aud*
machinations of dishonesty are made
right, while honest men aro thus de- :
frauded. -
'Therefore the obligations of the
people to perform duties or to pay .
honest debts, thus encumbered with
uncertainty, are worth but little, and
the resources of the county cannot be
utilized for want of means. We deem
the credit of an enlightened people if
properly protected and fostered to be
worth more than .-?heir cash, and if
sustainedand upheld by wise and ju?
dicious laws^reqniring obligat ions-to
*oc -faftlrftrlly - performed, -is just as
available as cash ; and if, instead of
affording legal clap traps and techni?
calities for4he evasion of duty, they
furai>hed a rigid rule of honesty and
uprightness, the morals and. prosper?
ity of the county would be promoted,
and the men would be encouraged and
in da ced to prosper by fair rather than
by foul means.
Several laws have been enacted as
make-shifts and subterfuges for the
misfortunes of the -people, and tlieir
tendencies have not been well con?
sidered, and as a consequence we have
fallen into greater misfortunes than
those sought to be remedied. Their
phraseology is utterly incomprehen?
sible to ordinary men, and they prove
to be calamities rather than blessings
to the people.
Therefore we recommend that the
Legislature appoint a committee of
learned men to remodel and simplify
all sneh laws now on the Statute
books, and to give the definition of
each phrase and a synopsis of thc en
lire law, ali of which shall be present?
ed to the legislature to be reenacted
or repealed as in their judgment may
appear best, after a full cornprehen
?i it. and understanding of the matter,
and that this committee shall, in a like
manner, define ami give a synopsis of
all laws before their final passage, and
that the definition and meaning of all
laws thus enacted be final, so that (?ur
laws may bc practicable rules of ac?
tion, ratt er titan a stumbling block to
the people.

Presentment :
TEK CR.AXD JURY "PRESENT/'' THE SU?
PREME CoURT
There has been of" late much in the ?
newspapers itt criticism of the Su- j
preme Court for its utter and absolute !
disregard of the law and the Consti- ;
tut iou ia reference to the rights of
married women to make contracts,
and many lawyers have remarked, on
the Monstrosity, whick by courtesy is
denominated judgment, in the Rush
case, but the hardest thing yet said of j
that tribunal for trampling our laws j
under foot, comes from our grand]
jnry, which presentment we publish j

' The Abbeville Medium makes the
following comments :
The Augusta Chronicle speaks of
it aa the 'Sensational Work of a Caro^
lina Grand Jury.' We* will jeetho
denominate it but cannot refr?n from
saying that much of it is basechnpon
a misapprehension of the situation
and the law. lt appears to us that
many of the suggestions are imprac?
ticable. Enabling trial justices to
sentence persons to the^Penitentiary.
is one of these. If the plan womel,
work at all, there would be a wou|
derful increase in the expense of se?S^
ing convicts to the penitentiary.
The Grand Jury makes an improp?
er distinction in the crime ^pffor^ery.
The turpitude of the o^w*?|?|ioJ^
be-regulated by the amount.invoked.
It is as much a crime to kill an infant
a? to slay a grown man. So it is as
much a crime to forge a fifty cents
order as it is one for $1,000.
. The Orand Jury dicEadtsee groper,
to point out the objectionable laws of
which it makes compta int and .there- .
fore we cannot comment qp?u'??nf ;
part of their presentment. If the law
relating to the rights of married wo?
men was meant, there can be no
doubt about the statute* ; BO w^ "since" .
the Supreme Court bas announced its
decision. There is aptfetag ?0 ab?
struse about the law. Ii has been ex?
plained by our highes tribunal inthe
State. Similar laws relating to" the
rights of married women have pre-,
vailed from time imm?morial 'in * alt
countries which derive their laws
from the Roman or Civil law. Texas
and Louisiana iiave always had such
taws andi these States have prospered.
New York, Alabama and other States
get along with such laws. We could
do the sante if we would cesse tovell
(Sown and and all join hands i nf up-, j
holding our courts and inculcating
respect for our laws. If any *iaw\ ?
does not work satisfactorily. At is air
easy matter to have it repealed hythe
Legislature which meets annually.
The recommendation that the 'Leg?
islature appoint a committee of learn?
ed men to remodel and simplify all
such laws now on the Statute books.

be constituting a Bet of guardians for

The Mother of Thirty-three
....... Children.
The largest family of children in
America, born of one mother aod
father, is probably that of Mrs. Bran?
don, of Mouudsville, W. Va The
mo ber is only 77 years old. She has
given birth to and reared 33 children
ave daughters and 28 son?. Sixteen
of the sons measure in hight collect?
ively 06 feet aod 7 iuchea. Ali of
these 1G were volunteers in the Union
anny during the late civii war. Une
was killed at Pittsburg Landing, one
died in Anderson?:?ie, and ooe. Charles,
the youngest boy, served the longest
term in Libby prison of any Union
soldier now living. Of the 14 boys j
who survived the war, all were woond
ed' and are drawing pensions. Mrs
Brandon, the mother of this band of
soldiers, has lately been granted a
pension of $2 260. The old lady is as j
bright and active a? most women of j
tne-half her {age. She is fjnd of
outdoor exercise, and only a few days
ago walked 20 mites within five hours.

Good Resolutions.
Interest is being aroused all over
the State on the temperance question.
Below is given the resolutions passed
by the Baptists of Anderson County
aw??e?&sociate Reformed Presby
tertaus cj^ Kejroerry County.; The
two dene? i nations mentioned are ca?
pable of-revolution i zing- matters in a
large^measure. The .time has ;come,
not only for good resolutions, but for
active work in this department. Let
all the Associations and Conferences,
pat themselves on record as these
have dene :
Whereas, The christian church was
organized by its Great Head to be the
light of the world, and as a regener?
ated and organized band of brethren
in thelr^ina'ivfdual and collective ca?
pacities to constitute the instrumen?
tality by^which the world ts-to be re?
stored to righteousness ; and where?
as, there is at present a great moral
reformation..stirring the hearts, and
conscrences'of ?raillions of christians
and philanthropists having for its on-,
ject the suppression of the liquor traf?
fic by prohibitory laws* and whereas
further, the great Baptist d?nomina?
tion of the South in Convention as?
sembled have unanimously declared
that the cause pf temperance and pro?
hibition bave the sympathy of the
Baptists of the South ; and whereas,
we regard the present moyenienl as
a great moral reformation and de?
sire to place ourselves, before the
world, on the Lord's- side, therefore
be it resolved,
1st. That we heartily approve the
late act of the Legislature submit?
ting tiie question of license or no
license to the voters of Anderson
and Laurens counties and declare
our adherence to the cause of pro?
hibition as^cootained in the said act.
2d. We regard it as the solemn
duty of all -philanthropists and es?
pecially of all christians to labor and
vote for the success of the prohibi?
tion cause in this couuty in the ap?
proaching election.
3d. That we urge the pastors, dea?
cons and members of our churches
to use their influence in the coming
election for the success of prohibi?
tion and thereby aid in driving
from our county the baneful and de
moralizing influence of the liquor
traffic which has been so injurious
and tJemoralrzing in our county and
churches^
4th". That we will unite our pray?
ers with christians everywhere for
the suppression of the unholy and
apalling traffic in intoxicating drinks,
the cause of the ruin of the souls
and bodies of thousands of our fel?
low beings.
Whereas, The questionof Prohibi?
tion has become one of practical in?
terest, the State endeavoring to save
KN citizens from the evils attending
lue sale and manufacture of intoxica?
ting liquors, atid,
Whereas, The sale and manufac?
ture of intoxicating liquors is attend?
ed by evils which interfere with the
spiritual interests of the individual
christian and seriously hinder the pro?
gress of the Redeemer's kingdom,
therefore,
Jieaoloed, Isl. That we as a Con?
ference do commend this matter to (lie
cordial support of our people as
christian citizens of this common?
wealth.
Resolved, 2nd. That while we la?
ment our own apathy in the past in
common with the christian public at
large, we desire now to urge our
churches to a fuller realization and
more faithful discharge of duly on
this and all kindred subjects as taught
in the gospel of out Lord Jesus
Christ.
The Montgomery (Ala ) Dispatch
say , and to the po nt;
'lt is right that our rulers, asnear as
cao be, should always he 'fresh front the
people.' and to attain this eod rotation
in office should be more frequently
practiced in making a selection of our
public servants.'
