The Msysville Republican says
Senator Stevenson made his first
speech in the Senate at Washington
on Saturday, on the question of Ku
Klux ouirages in the South.
Among other things Mr.. Stevenson
said he could Hshow more crime and
more outrage committed in the sim

been committed in the entire State
of Kentucky for the last ten years"
1t is evident that our worthy ex.gOv-

the progress murderers have made
in our State since the first of the

Stevenson, and not one of the guilty
parties brought to punishment so
far as we know, and most certainly
no one sentenced to be hung. Ken

The Road 10 Wealth.

There be those who inherit, or by
some sudden stroke Of good fortune
acquire riches, but almost universal
" speaking, the difference between
the wealthy man and the poor man
represents the difference between
him who saves and him who spends as
he goesalong. It isnot an increase Of
salaryor an extension of business re-
latiOns that ensures a competence,
bnt TIE adhered 70 determination to
ecOnOmize, TO incur no unnecessary
expenditures, and to lay by some
thing Of each weeks gains. So long
as people increase their OutgOes in
proportion to the increase 0ftheir IL
comes, they are.no nearer that esn-
ditiOn Of independence which it Is
desirable for all to attain. The
present growing fOnduess for osten-
tatiOn and display operates as a di-
rect barrier to frugallty. Some one
has said that life in the Uuited States
has become 4 struggle for social po.
sitiOn that whereas in older coun-
tries the lines Of demarcatiOn are so
closely drawn by blood, caste, etc.,
as to repress this social ambition,
here every one has an opportunity
to climb the social ladder, and may
aspire with confidence to any round.
There is much truth in this Obser.
walton, and the very fact that it is
so presents a constant temptation to
persons TO scatter their dUcats in
keeping up appearances and in max
ing what is vUlgarly termed a
.Tspread. Those who yield to this
Temptation without fortune to draw
upon generally acquire extravagant
habits, which always keep them
financially under the weather.
There are othels who, arguing that
the true theory Of life is TO olive
while we live" Invariably spend
close up to their incomes. An in:-
pecuniOus old age is generally in
store for such persons.
1t is in little things that the mon
ey takes its flight. The failure to
stop up the little leaks is what pre-
vents the financial reserv Oirs from
ever filing. A New Yorker-now
a wealthy man-moved out to an
adjoining village some fifteen years
since. While his neighbors during
that time have generally sent their
bundles 10 and fro by express, he
has carried his own. In this man
ner, he computes that he has saved
twenty-five hundred dollars during
the fifteen years. And this is but
one of very many ways in which
individuals can save their pennies.
Of course, those who propose TO
utake life easy" and not trouble
themselves about the future, do not
care for any suggestions of this char
acter. But those who aim TO secure
a competence fog their declining
years cannot be too mindful Of the
fact TINT there is no royal road to
wealth, and that no matter what
their position Or income, frugality
and economy are essential for the at
iuinment of that competence.

Owing, it is said, to the exceeding cost Of
The, cast-steel cannon manufactured for the
Prussian army by Krupp, in Essen, bronze
will again take Its place as the material from
which guns for. the army Of the new German
Empire will be made in the future. For some
tlme'prevlous to the late war, bronze was as
good as given up altogether as a gun metal,
and nothing but Krupp's cast-steel guns were
spoken Of. But during the war all the reserve
guns were made Of bronze, and have answered
admirably, and in future the two principle
weapons OF the Prusslan artillery, the rifed
four-pounders and the short twenty-four-
Founders, which made so great a mark in the
war, will be cast of bronze, while a newly
constructed arm, the twenty-one centlmetres
mortar, throwing a shell of 16O pounds, will
be made Of this metal also. The long twenty
four-pounders are still to be made of cast
steel; butt from this general abandonment Of
the steel principle, there can be but little
doubt that Krupp's guns must have failed to
some extent under certain circumstances, for
it is hardly to be surmised that the German
military authorities, after their late expert
ence, would be willing 10 sacrifice efficiency
on the score OF economy only.

NEW YORK, tule ~.
The fun for the last three OF four days mas
been about Colonel Fisk's visit with his regi-
ment TO Boston. Fisk, you know, Is a Bosto-
man, and doubtless it was his ambition to AXE
his splendid regiment on to his native town
and show himself at its head to those VINO
knew him but a few years ago as a peddler
of Yankee notions. A great deal OF preliminary
fuss was made over the trip, which had the
effect of advertising it and exciting the interest
OF the Bostonians. Fisk telegraphed to the
Mayor for permission to hold religious serVi-
ces on Sunday on the Common. This aroused
the anger of the Methodists and Baptists, anu
protests poured into she board OF aldermen
against the proposed dissertation of the day
and the place. There was something 80 sub.
timely s'cheeky'' In Jim Fisk's afectation OF
solicitude about where he should pray that
everybody here was amused, but the Purltans
were astonlshed and indignant. The alder
men, Influenced By this pressure, refused per
mission for the use Of the Common on tne
ground that such unusual ceremonies Wltnln
its precincts would draw together the WorsG
classes of the city and vicinity, q perhaps
produce disorder. This, to say the least, was,
as an excuse, rather discreditable to Inc char-
acter OF Boston.
Undaunted by this rebuff, Fisk telegrapned
to the Mayor OF Charlestown for leave to nold
his prayer meeting under the shadow OF Bun

OFFICE OF THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
COLUMBIA, s. c., June'20, 1871.

- .. Va, Juhc ~, lcIl'
To His Ercelepcy Governor R. T.. Scotia
requesting ms opinion as to your right and
duty to I'll vacancies In county offices. 1.have
again, therefore, carefully examined the stat
utes with reference to thfs point, and now give
you my reply.
with respect to the office Of sheriff. l am OF
opinion that the act Of 1889, commonly called
1.-The SheriG's Act, is still Of force 80 far as to
authorize the clerk Of the court in the county
where a vacancy In that office shall have oc-
Cured TO order an election. This opinion
has already been acted upon In Greenville
County, and q sheriff has been elected and
taken Office under an election 30 called and
held. :.
With reference to the Office of county school
commissioner, the act Of March 9Th, 1871, en-
titled IAN act to amend an act entitled an act
to establish and maintain O system OF free
common schools for the State Of South Caro-
lima" N section @, gives the Governor the
power to appoint q person to fill any vacancy
in the Office Of school commissioner.
With reference to the Office Of coroner, the
act Of January 9th, 1870, entitled San act to
alter and amend an act concerning the Office,
Governor power, by proclamation, to desig.
nate some justice Of the peace or magistrate OF
the county wherein a vacancy occurs IN the
Office of coroner. to act as coroner until, by
order of the Legislature, an election shall be
had to fill the vacancy. I think this act should
be construed 10 confer upon the Governor the
power to designate O trial justice also to act
as coroner.
In the case Of clerks Of court, the Judge has
power TO appoint O person to perform the du-
ties OF clerk in case Of a vacancy.
In the cases Of all the other elective county
offices, 1 ind no provision OF law for filling va
cancies which shall occur betweent the times
Of holding the general elections for the state,
except in cases where the uneXpired term OF
Office in which a vacancy occurs shall be less
than one year. The vacancies which have
arisen recently, in several counties, In the Of
fees Of probate Judge and Of county commits
sioners, do not come within the provision of
law last recited, inasmuch as the uneXpired
terms are considerably more than one year.
NY opinion, therefore, is, that in these cases
there Is no power given to the Governor, OF,
in fact, to any one, to fll'these vacancies.
The Legislature, by the act OF February
18th, 1870, entitled A act to provide for the
filling of vacancies In county offices" saw lit
to limit your power Of appointment to fill va
cancies to cases where the unexpired term
does not exceed one year, and having put this
limitation upon your power OF appointment,
they failed TO provide any other mode for fill
ing the vacancies.
My opinion, therefore, Is, that in the case OF
probate judges and of county commissioners,
there Is no authority vested In any one TO dill
vacancies, either by appointment or by elec-
ton, until the time shall arrive when the re-
mainder Of the %unexpired term, dating from
