for another, where it seemed 10 me, upon
the representation orrelisble ctizens in the
vlclnagc, there were sufficient grounds for
such intcrposition. in very few instan-
ccs, full pardons have been granted for the
want of facilities for separate and solitary
confinement. At Charleston and Colun-
bia-the points at which your Court of APP
peals assemblies, or at some salubrous To-
callty, accessible mt all seasons Of the year
such facilities ought to be provided as soon
as the state OF the treasury willpermit not
in substitution, but in aid Of the law pres
crbing capital Punishment in certain cases.
1t is much to be regretted that under a
system OF sound laws, with incumbcnts Of
reputed worth and character in executive,
ludlcll and police Offices, and with citizens
soliciting Office as soon as vacant it should
be deemed necessary in any part Of the
State to enforce and maintain law bymeans
OF clubs and v!glant committees. II it be
od'ouS to admlniStcr the law, let no officer
be appointed ior this purpose. If it be
necessary for faithful officer to apologize
to the public whenever he does hts duty,
the law Will become n mockaV, a'd0mcge
preface OF justice, t'ic officer ridiculous
and expensive pageant. Order IN society
