Governor scott.

Tho special message Of Governor
Scott on the Union and Laurcns trou.
blcs is judicious and temperate, and
calculated to cause all good citizens to
uuite in an earnest effort to sccufc
domestic security and peace. Lynch
law is almost always brutal, and inva-
riubly reacts against those who resort
to it with terrible retribution. In
this affair in Union both races can
read this oft repeated lesson Of expo
ricncc. But it is not only in his cf-
fort to secure u proper administration
Of the law that Governor Scott dc.
serves commcndation tho CORES
pondcnt of the Charleston Ncws tells
US that he now stahds The only faith.
full guardian Of tho treasury, and thot
the abuse hc is pow receiving within
his own party is due to his firm resiss
tance to schemes of dishonesty, rob-
hcry and plunder, to which he cannot
bo induced to give his consent. Is it
SO, then, indeed, that in the reelection
of Governor Scott, the people OF
South Carolina have been gifted with
blessing in disguise

Custom in China allows o criminal

ted for the Tsion.Tsin massacre were
not the guilty mon at all. Tho man
darins arrested few of the mcancr
criminals, carefully allowed all Of tho
rest to escape, and filled up the list Of
victims with substitutes who were
quite ready to suffer dccapitation in

Perhaps, Il more correct way of put

useful gentlemen were hired Of their
respective families, at 80 much for the
day, and returned after their heads

knowing that they could provide much
more literally for their wives and
