On motion ot Air. Hudson, of Putnam. fhc various subjects of the Governor’s "message, were referred to the joint standing committees respectively. The bill set apart for this day, relative to the disposition ol the Cherokee lauds, was taken up, and on motion, made the special orderof the day for Thursday the 24th inst. On motion of Mr v Neal, the resolution rel ative to the election of State house officers, was taken up, and amended, so as to bring on those elections on Friday next, at 11 o’clock. Mr. Speaker HULL opposed the motion ——lt was true, he said, that on a former occa sion, the house had agreed to strike out $0 as the price of grants. But members are not now jionud by that vote, their opinions rnav have changed; and he hoped they had chan ged so that 80 might he retained. It was true it had been the custom of the Legisla ture to reduce the price of Grants; but lie would call on the committee to examine carefully who had been bent fitted by that re duction. Was it the persons who were not well able to take out their grants ? Certainly ! not. Alost persons of that description, lie | would venture tosay without the fear of con tradiction, had been compelled, by their very | necessities, to take out their grants long ago, and dispose efftheir lands for the purpose ci tiler of settling them, or selling them to meet their wants. The lands, he believed, winch remained to be granted, wore chiefly such as were in the hands of speculators; and lie did know some such that would he be no lilted by the reduction of one dollar per grant to the a mount of 8 00— of others who would be ben efitted to the amount of 800. These arc they who will derive the principal benefit from this reduction. They have witnessed our course of legislation cn this subject; they have been hence led to expect a further reduction, and they, under the influence of that expectation", have refused to takeout their grants, and have not sold their lands, waiting for a rise in the value of land. Those, Air. Chairman, who would really feel the benefit of this reduction, have long ago taken out their grants:—and of what importance is it to men in mode rate cir cumstanccs, in thi • country, to save §1 on the price of grant ? But when it comes to 55 100, or a thousand dollars, and falls on men who are able to Iftiar it, and moreover goes into the treasury of the State, it is a matter of some importance to the public generally. Mr. TARVER said be knew ofno men in the situation described by the Hon. Speaker as being able to take out their grants, and have not done it. But he did know of many poor men wiio had not taken out their grants, and were not well able to do so. Besides, sir, what is the condition of your country now. compared with what it was 10 years ago?— Is not 81 worth now as much as three or four then? He hoped the house would consider the subjects maturely, and reduce the price of grants. Mr. GLASCOCK hoped the motion to strike out would not prevail. It was very true that the proposition to reduce, had prevailed, the other day, when the Ilt-.ise had its own bill under consideration. Many gentlemen were dissatisfied with it; and had determined to move for a reconsideration oftho question. But as a bill on the same subject; came from the Senate, they abandoned that determina tion, and resolved to bring up the question on the passage of the Senate’s bill. It is well known, sir, that it has been the practice of this government to reduce these fees from time to time, to almost nothing—that our course lias been to commence with a high price, and rcducu it gradually. Is this serv ing out the measure of equality among the citizens of this State ? That one part of our citizens shall he required to pay a high price, and others a small one ? In consequence of the acts that have been passed heretofore on this subject, many men have believed that a further reduction would be made, and hence have held back, so that the price might be reduced to the burst possible point, before they would take out their grants. Yet, if lie could believe that if a particular class—a class wiio are really not able to take out their grants, he would give thcir*grants to them without :hc charge of a single cent. But he could not believe there was any euch class who would receive any such benefit—hut that it was quite another class who would in real ity be benefitted. These were his views; anti he was quite sure that if this reduction lie now made, t!c grants will not still be taken out, but that men will still wait under the expec tation that another Legislature will make a farther reduction; while, if we refuse to re. duce, the Legislature will bo considered pledged, not to make a further reduction and the consequence will be that all the grants that arc worth taking out, will he taken out. Let us refuse to reduce, and the people will flock to your treasury, and wait no longer. It was his opinion that if the price i.; row re duced farther the expense of surveying will not be refunded to the State which was one object of having a price attached to grants — and is there a single i . livictual in this State who would not cheerfully admit that this ex pense should be refunded, and contribute hi portion of it ? He was sure there was none; and moreover that if it was left for the people generally they would decide that in all instances a liberal price should he paid. Air. WARNER, remarked that as ho un derstood it, the principal objection to stri king out “six dollars,” was that the individu als who would be really benefitted, arc not the pooi—that the property has changed hands. This view of the subject lie did not think was cot reel: and for this reason. In 1829 an act was passed extending the time to the Ist November of the next year, so as to put it out of the power of the succeeding le gislature to interfere with the subject.—But it so happened that the legislature was called together two weeks sooner than usual. The people did net anticipate this; they therefore went forward and look out their grants, so far as they were worth taking out. Ileucc, most of the lots that have not been granted, it mav be fairly presumed, are of very inferior quality—such as may never be expected to lie granted at the present price—Ho believed it was a corcct policy, not to enrich the State at the expense of the, people; but to extend and increase the population of the State as far as possible. Now if we reduce the price of the grants on these inferior lands, it may be the 111 c ansof increasing our pouulabion; many lots may be improved, that otherwise would not— There was another reason why we should re duce the price.—Aluny persons had felt them selves bourn) in conscience, to pay taxes on the lands which they have drawn, whether they were granted or not. Those who have j acted thus have paid into the treasury, larger j amounts, perhaps, in the shape of taxes, than die original price of the grants- The next topic to which lie would advert was that, as to the sum that was to be paid to jurors, the substitute was better than the ori ginal bill, and for this reason. The original bill provides that juries shall receive a fee of j 83, whether judgement is confessed or not. Now a Court may remain in session and juiors j may remain in attendance for ten days, nnd j yet not have a ease to try ? so they will j nothing. Air. M. said his object was to pro ; lent this by paying them 81 per day ; after : this manner ; For every case, whether it goes |to the jury or not, the plaintiff shall pay one j dollar to go into the county treasury, and the ! plaintiff will get his money hack again by ha ! ling it taxed in the bill of costs. It" will go in I county funds, and the deficiency will be made j up out of what may be on hand of these funds. 1 11 is object, he would repeat, was to provide | effectually for the payment of juiors. He I cared very little whether the attorney’s fees ! were retained or not. Air, Howard remarked that the suggestion 1 of the gentleman from Warren about the rule ■ of the House, would apply to many others in in the House besides attorneys. There are jurors here ; those who have to serve again ; there arc pluntifis and defendants ; almost ev- I cry man here belongs perhaps to someone of these classes. Tim rule of the House will apply to them as well a3 to attorneys, because they are equally inter, sted in these fees. Mr. 11. believed that flic defendant should in all cases pay the costs of an action ; and (hat there was a disposition among .the people to take away the attorneys fee altogether. The last legislature had taken away 11 part of it a id lie Was perfectly willing to let the remain der go. If the object really be to pay jurors, sup pose there are qo county fund?, how will you pay them? Wifi you levy tin extra tax for that purpose? lie thought that if there were no confessions of judgment, the fees provided al ready would be enough i and it appeared to him by f r the easiest way of paying them. Mr. Hudson said that the subject of pay. ingjurors had been often before the legisla ture, and it had appeared hard to settle on anv general principle. For himself, lie had al ways been of the opinion that the service ren der'd by jurors had been sufficiently com pensated by the return of the like service from their neighbors. But as there was so much diversity of opinion and as gentlemen had found tt so difficult to meet on any other ground, be thought the House bad better a dopt the bill ofthc gentleman from Elbert to amend the act of the last session, lie be lieved that two dollars on every verdict ren dered was enough. One gentleman iiad sup posed a case in which the court might sit ter. days, hut this was an extreme case, generally juriesarc required to attend on 2,3 or 4 days, lie held that the defendant should pay the costs; and was in favor of the original bill.— In his county it would make the business of a juror a pretty good one, if confessions of judgement were not allowed, to deprive them of their fen. Mr. Oliver said the substitute offered in volvcd a question for grave consideration. JTo had made an estimate of what would be re quired if an extra fax were laid, nnd that esti mate was based on the State of things in his own county. To pay jurors in his country would require on that system 8705 60. Then there being 76 counties in the State, 765 00 multiplied by 76 would give 888105 60. Few tire the counties, he asked throughout the State, prepared to submit to such a tax for the payment of jurors ? lie held it to be strictly true that when parties got into difficul ties and called upon their neighbors to settle them, they should be made to pay for the trouble thus given to their neighbor*. It was manifestly unjust to call on those who do not get involved in !;w suits, to bn taxed for a purpose like this—to pay for settling the dis putes of their litigious neighbors. Ilis bill, lie thought, covey( and the whole ground. It snakes the parties to a controversy, pay the expense of settling that controversy. And if there is much business, the jury being on that account detained long, their pay will be in proportion. Mr. Hutchins avowed himself to have been always in favor of the payment of jurors; and was now in favor of any liberal system that would accomplish that purpose. But be thought the house could not ge.'at its object without disconnecting altogether, the "subjects of ju ry’s and attorney’s fees. Why not disconnect the subjects altogether, he asked, arid intro duce a bill specially for the purpose of pay ing jurors? Suppose wo pass tile bill before ; it amounts to nothing more nor 'css, than a tax on every lean who brings a suit. Sup pose the parties choose to settle the business without trial, still the tax will have to be paid. Farther alj the tax is taken off the defendant end imposed on the plaintiff; for attorneys will increase their charge ; whereas the de fendant should always pay the cost. Air. 11. concluded by ottering a substitute -'to repeal the act of 1880, regulating jurv’s and attor ney’s fees.” ' ' Mr. It van said he would endeavor to justify the remark he had made in the beginning of the discussion, about the applicability of the rule of the rule of the House. There were jurors present,and there were doubtless plain till's and defendants. This he admired. But l>otlt the original lull, and the substitute con templated raising tile attorney’s fee to Si- Mere not attorneys directly interested in that matter ? And was it not a different sort of interest from that which thcother parties had? He conceived that attorneys were interested ' to such an extent as tocontc under the opera tion of the rule ; and could not therefore vote on the subject. He hoped the gentleman from Baldwin, would be satisfied with this ex planation of his views of the matter. Mr. Howard replied timt he must still ad here to his original views. The object of the rule referred to was to prevent members hav ing a private, personal interest, distinct from the community, in n question from voting on it. But, in this particular case, he must contend, that if attorneys are interested, so also are jurors, plaintiffs and defendants; and of course tho whole community. 80 that on the score f interest attorneys have no advan tage, there is distinction—they have no im mediate, private, personal interest, distinct from that of the community, in the question. It is not, therefore, such an interest as is re quired by the rule. Mr- Terrell said he would ask gentlemen whether it is really their desire to provide for the payment of jurors ? Do they think the services of jurors arc entitled to compensa. tton ! Arc they really willing to provide for their payment 1 If they are, how do they expect to do it ? Not by this hill certainly. Vhy then not come to the rchl question at once ? Why go round about the matter, and hold out to jurors im idea that they will be paid, when, in truth, they will not. The gen tleman from Elbert, (Mr. Oliver) hy the esti mate he has made, will defeat his own object. How many cases occur in Elbert county, on which he had founded his estimate ? Do they exceed 100 at any one term ? If they do not exceed 100, what compensation will that fur nish ? Tho gentleman from Putnam, says 1 that it will, m his county, he a money making business. That may he so in Putnam, hut, Mr. T. said in iiis county (Franklin) it would be far otherwise. Sir, if wc are determined that jurors shall he paid, let us come to the point at once—carve outthc System by which they will bo effectually paid, and not delude them by this sort of legislation. Mr. T. was opposed to both thc'original bill and the sub stitute. One proposes that payment shall be made out of the county fuuds. What will be the effect of that system. That in some coun ties jurors will be paid, while in others they will get nothing. Is this justice ? Is this placing all on the same footing? Mr. T. was fer serving all alike. He would adopt some general plan that would be effective ; for that jurors should be paid he l ad never doubted. They are called from their business, at perhaps busy seasons—they arc coni|>cllcd to loose ! their time—and time is money—they arc very [ frequently poor men, ill able to pay their ex-! penses, nnd loose their time too. All the i other officers of the court are paid—and jurors ; also should lie paid. He would then provide j for them effectually, and not insult them by making them believe they would be paid”, when they would not. Where they arc en titled to 750 dollars he would not give them i 300. 1 (To be soritinued.) In Savannah, on the 7th inst. Mr. Frederick S. Fell, senior editor of the Savannah Hupubli can.
