Elsewhere win be found the particulars of the
ccmmeneement of libel suit by Mr.. A. X.
Shepherd against Mr.. Charles A. Dana, Of the
New York Sun, for slanderous articles published
in that paper. In the main we do not believe in
libel suits, holding that a respectable newspa-
Per win not wantonly publish SANDER inju-
TiOus to a citizen, and viii promptly make
amends when il has Internationally 20 done.
But the New York Sun has put itself out of the
Iale of respectable journalism by the un-
scrupulous course.Of vilifcation pursued in
every issue Of that paper. 1t trades in false
hood and Islander purely as a matter of bust
ness. II seeks q daily sen sation, and the repu-
tation of no man or woman in the country is
safe from its ghoulsh attacks. The late afro
CiOus attacks by the SUN upon the character of
the poor women, the widows and daughters of
our patriot dead, employed in the departments,
are an illustration of the INSCRIPTIONS means
Iesorted to by that paper to keep up its stock of
Sensational Islander. II is safe to say that not
another paper in the country, not even the
vilest e ash paper published, would have prosti-
fated its columns to these ISLANDERS upon de-
fCnceless women
In its attacks upon character, public or pri-
vate, the San does not aim in any degree to seek
facts These are too tame and common place
for its highly spiced columns, and it is needless
TO add that it never voluntarily withdraws an
Injurious allegation when its falsehood Is de-
monstrated, as any newspaper OF character is
always ready to do. The Sun, therefore, can
Claim no sympathy II Ii u made to suffer the
penalty prescribed by the law for wanton at
tenpts 70 injure character.

Registration and Representation.


AS the Legislature will soon be con.
vened in extra session, and there is like
ly to be no intermission between; the
extra and regular sessions, it may not
be inappropriate to direct attention to
some matters of importance, which hare
been too long neglected by the General
Assembly. The points involved (says
the Anderson Intel1igencer,) are found
in the Constitution of the State, and we
do not think this instrument of organic
law is too old fashioned for an occasional
reference thereto.
Sec. 3, Art. 3, declares that "it shall be
the duty of the General Assembly to
provide from time to time for the regis.
tration of all electors" This plain and
palpable duty of the Legislature has
been totally ignored, since the Constitu-
ton went into operation five years ago,
and we think it is safe and salutary
clause that should no longer be disre-
garded. Indeed, the elections held du.
ring the past five years have been in
direct conflict with the provision of the
Constitution, and to that extent have
been irregular and perhaps Illegal.
Sec. 4. Art. 2, provides for the appor-
tionment of Representatives among. the
several Counties, according to the num-
ber of inhabitants. An enumeration of
the inhabitants is ordered to be made in
1869, and again in ls s, and every tenth
year thereafter. Under this enumeration,
Representatives are to be assigned, in
the pro PORTION mentioned, by an Act of
the General Assembly, at the session i'm
mediately succeeding every enumera-
ton. The census was taken In 1859,
agreeably to tho order Of the Constitn-
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1873-10-02

ton, but there has been no apportion-
ment Of Representatives under that
census, Is 1t too late for the Legislature
to remedy this default of their predeoes-
sors, and must the people await the re-
suit of the next census, before their
rights are secured2 The present appor-
tionmentis unequal and unjust, and it
behooves the General Assembly, at the
approaching session, to make new ap-
portionment, in time to apply. its pro-
visions 10 the next general election, -
The election laws, also, should be so
amended that the managers will be re-
uuired to make return to the Commits
sioners of Election, within twenty-four
hours after the polls are closed. At
present, the managers are allowed three
days to make their returns, which is an
unnecessary delay. Further, the COM
missioners of Election should be re-
auired to meet Immediately after the re-
turns are made. and aggregate the vote
of the County, instead Of allowing six
days to elapse before this meeting takes
place. - iG ~ -
