Junius Redivlvus.

The letters OF Junius are little read, now
a-days, yet in their terrible invective there is
much that is applicable to the state of this
country under the Grant administration.
Corruption and weakness in any government
produce the same inevitable results. The
probe that pierces the fostering wounds OF
the body polite is fashioned to cure the evil
that Is constant and Interchangeable attend
ant upon bribe taking, incompetency, and
neglect of the public interests. In his letter
to the Public Adoertiser on the state of the
nation, Junius sums up his indictment
against the ministry. This was in 1859
We slightly alter sentence, and have ex-
actly the description of the United States in
1872: ..In one view behold nation over
''whelmed with debt; her revenue wasted; ;
"ber trade declining; the affections OF"
many of the States 'talienated; the duty OF
'the magistrate transferred to the soldiery;
'.and in the last instance the administration
''of justice become odious and suspected to
''the whole body of the people,"

Tho Prison System.

The International Prison Congress, COM
posed of delegates from all the leading nations
of Europe and America, has just closed Its
labors In London, having been In session
about two weeks. number of questions in
relation to prison discipline were discussed,
and much statistical information of interest
presented. large majority of the delegates
were deeply Impressed with the importance Of
temperlngjustce with mercy, and the wisdom
of teaching prisoners some useful trade, SO
that they can gain an honest livelihood after
they are set at liberty. The Home Secretary
of Great Britain, who was present, attributed
the decrease of crime in his country to the in
fuence of industrial schools and reformato-
ries In cutting off the supply of criminals; to
the philanthropic labors of discharged prison
ers' aid societies, and to the general diffusion
of knowledge. The question whether prison
labor should be merely penal or Industrial was
under discussion during the session, and the
general judgment of the congress was against
the treadmlll, and In favor Of Industrial labor
for prisoners.

our friends on their success, and hope they
may be as fortunate in everything else they
undertake. Barnwell is a great county and
we challenge the State to beat her. We omit
the names of those who handed in the twenty
and twenty-fve.pounderS, as they are 80 far
below these figures: q. h. Easterling, one
weighing 80 pounds: H. c. Chilly, one weigh
ing 80 pounds Dr.. s. q. Tlndall, one weighing
&c pounds; John A. Lancaster, one Weighing
80 pounds; John j. Green, one weighing 4O2
pounds; L. F. Hair, one weighing AZ pounds.
The melon sent US by Mr.. Chitty was of the
Lawson variety and decidedly the finest
favored we ever ate; but it was for the largest
we offered the Sentinel, and, therefore, we take
pleasure In sending the paper to Mr.. b. L..
Hair, who has grown the largest melon sent
u.s.
The Sentinel, doubtless inspired by the fine
flavor OF that "Lawson" melon, goes on to
remark, in a consolatory vein, that, "of
sscourse, all could not be successful" but
bids all, including the nameless growers oil
the twenty and twenty-five Founders, to be
of good heart, as they are to have chance
to ''try it again." Emulous BarnWell! !!
Lucky Sentinel!

The Watermelon Policy.

Some of our friends OF the interior press
seem to be enjoying themselves hugely over
the big watermelons OF their ambitious and
pubhc-spirited neighbors. They manage it
in this way: A years subscription is offered
as a premium for the largest watermelon
raised in the county. Every fortunate pos
SCISSOR of a watermelon patch hastens to
send in his choicest specimen of the fruit
to compete for the prize; and the willy edi-
tor, acting at once as Judge, jury and re-
morseless e3ecutioner, revels in the roseate
glories of victor and vanquished alike, as
long as the season lasts. The experience of
our contemporary Of the Barnwell Sentinel
seems to have been peculiarly jolly. In the
case OF that paper we are told that
"The contestants were not a few. We have
received melons from every quarter, varying
in size from twenty-five to forty-two pounds.
1t affords us no little pleasure to publish list
of the names of those who raise the largest
melons in Barnwell County. We congratulate

How Ireland is mts-representcd.

England certainly needs proportional rep
resentation to remedy the infamous s'rotten
"borough" system; but, as bad as it Is there
1t is worse in Ireland. a statement made IN
the British House of Commons about the
distribution OF voting power in Ireland is to
the effect that the franchise is enjoyed by
$4,000 males, and l,28o,O men are de-
prived of the rights OF citizenship. Even
admitting that every seventh man is per-
fectly capable of representing at the polls
the views of another six who are disfran'
cbised, it appears that the distribution o.
votes is still very unequal. There are thirty
one Irish members Of the House of Commons
who represent but $4,000 electors, and there
are twenty-eight members who represent
10000 eight constituencies with 2oo(
electors return the same number OF members
as four constituencies with "A, 600, and so on

Pardontng Feluns, Again

The Darlington Southerner, referring to
the recent pardon, by Governor Scott, Of
Kizzie Dampier, James Dampier and Adelia
Norwood, denounces it as San insult to this
community and an outrage upon thu rights
'ssf the honest people throughout the State.
''The pardoned parties have long been pest
''to this community; and when, at last, JUS
''tice overlook them. the people felt that, for
ssa time at least, they were safe from the
"cunningly-devised schemes Of these bad
speople. But, within month after their
"conviction, they are proudly parading our
"streets, labelled 'pardoned by the Cover
".nor.'" The Ring can now probably rely
upon three more staunch supporters in Dar-
lington County.

A Desperate Game.

If ANYTHING more were needed to show the
immense importance attached by the Grant
managers to the pending canvass in North
Carolina and the extent of their fears OF q
defeat in that State, it would be furnished
by the accommodating evidence Of the bold
schemes OF fraud aud violence which they
have deliberately resolved upon as furnish
ing their only hope OF success. Their pur-
poses, in this respect, are no longer con-
cealed. Their party organs are insisting
that 'there ought to be no modessy on the
| ssnart OF the Administration. Secretary
Boutwell, has declared that "every weapon
sand appliance known 10 political warfare IL
ssto be employed by the Administration; !"
and Congressman Pool has openly written o
letter making preliminary arrangements to
forward large sum OF money to purchase
voters. A corruption fund OF 100000, OBJ
viously intended for election purposes, has
been sent from Washington, on the warrant
of United States Marshal Carrow, an army
of deputy marshals have been appointed at
five dollars per day, whole regiments OF
United States soldiers have been sent to the
State, and herds of colored voters are being
stcolonized" from Virginia, Tennessee and
South Carolina. .e
The logical conclusions from this condi-
tion OF facts are by no means discouraging.
The desperate means adopted prove that the
situation is desperate one. Even should
the Grant party be successful, there will still
be time between July and November for their
corrupt schemes to react with crushing effect
upon their shameless authors, and costly
victory may be but the harbinger OF decisive
defeat. The lawless devices relied upon In
bayouet-ridden North Carolina can never be
practiced ia the free States OF the North, and
can only arouse storm OF indignation In
those States, which will assume the proper
tions of an overwhelming avalanche 10 No
vember. Nor is it probable that such expe.
dients will be successful even in their
immediate object OF carrying the State.
The news from the campaign continues
most encouraging. The 'weapoHs and ap-
.splances" OF the Administration are opposed
by the ringing eloquence Of such speakers as
Senators Upton, Doolittle and Stockton,
Governor Vance, Governor Walker, of Vir-
ginia, and others. On the stump, the Ad-
ministration apologlsts are constantly placed
on the defensive, and the labored statistical
sophistrles OF Secretary Boutwell, fall fiat
when uttered in the midst Of practical evil
dences of plumber, profigacy and corrup-
ton, such as the Old North State affords.
The work goes bravely on. The sun OF
Thursday next will set upon Liberal vic
tory in North Carolina, and then-a walk
over for Greeley in the Presidential contest.

BoutweIl's Welcome to tho South.

In his recent journey to North Carolina Mr.
Boutwell,, secretary OF the treasury of the
United States, passed by Glover, In Halifax
County, Virginia. A Greeley and Brown pole
of considerable height had just been raised
From the top of it was flying streamer with
an inscription upon it. The train stopping
awhile, Mr.. Boutwell, got out and gazed at the
streamer very earnestly to read the words
upon it. He finally succeeded and lodged
back into the car, resumlng his seat with
almost painful solemnity. What was the In
scription upon the streamer? 100 Back
