Ik another column we have copied, from the Greenville Mountaineer, an editoral article upon the subject above indicated, to which we would call the attention of our legislators, (the class for which we presume it was specially designed,) and the public generally. The subject is one to which wo have ourselves devoted some thought and, we are ?i j ; i ?i?-i ??.i j jjicuocu iu aco vmwb bo nearly lacnucai wuu our own entertained and expressed by ono so likely to command a hearing. It appears to us that, upon a fair and enlightened consideration of the matter, few could be found to object to those views. That great injury (often positive beggary) frequently occurs to married women from the incapacity or indisposition of their husbands to manage their property affairs judiciously, is too palpable for remark. The question, should not this evil be arrested as far as possible, appeals not merely to the humanity of legislators, (which would itself, in our view, j entitle it to grave consideration,) but to sound policy. Such a provision for the rights of married women as that proposed would tend, we think, to a more diffusive distribution of property among all classes i-i-i- -i- l 4. -i ui kiuwua, nnu uvrutiui^ uu iuuuu buwarua arresting tbe ruinous credit system now so prevalent. Would not tbe attainment of either of these ends be politic in a high degree! A policy which should eventually, and by legitimate means, result in a more general distribution of property, especially landed and slave property, would soon manifest its beneficent results in closing the floodgates qpon the now exhausting tide of emigration from our State, and in rendering the determination to defend the "peculiar institution"' more general and more determined. Let our publi<*men, who all doubtless earnestly desire the furtherance of these ends, consider the subject, and act for the general good.
