Southern D. mocr aey and
Southern RadicaIiSm.


A great deal has been said about
the relative economy with which
Democratic and Republican States in
the South are governed. In such
questions general statements carry
with them but little weight. Figures
like those given in the annual mes
sage of Governor Smith: of Georgia,
show best the difference between hon
esty and rascality. Three lines are
enough :
Legislative expenses Of 7a 100000 s29l @sss @
t state tax o. Of 'Hsa; is7l mills 70 mills.
The great Democratic State of Geor-
gia, with taxable property valued at
S25O,oOO,OOO, will only spend S.
1856 this year, which includes the
sum of 1923 ,460 devoted to the pay
mept of the public debt and interest.
Robber.ridden South Carolina, with
taxable property not worth much more
than s10O, 600, 900 is taxed this year to
the amount ofs3, 100000, Of which
amount Sl76,956 is promised to be
paid out in interest, if the holders of
the State bonds will consent to give
up fifty per cent. of the principa! of
their securities. The bonds Of Demo
cratic Georgia were readily negotia-
ted last year at par. The bonds Of
South Carolina, with three years over
due interest on them, sell at ten cents
on the dollar. Again, it is said that
a Democratic State will not educate
the poor. The State of Georgia ap-
propriates s25O,000 to the free
schools, and pays the money. This
supports the schools three months.
Whatever else is required must be,
and is, raised by local taxation. One
more comparison between Democratic
honesty aud Ring-rulc extravaganza
and rascality! The Georgia Univcr-
sity costs $4,000 a year, and three
hundred eighteen students matricu-
lated in 1873. It received sl0,540
from tuition fees, and sl0,234
from interest on the Agricultural
Land Scrip fund. All that the State
was required to give was $4,000. The
South Carolina University has 10
students save few colored men, the
Agricultural Land Scrip has been
sold, and not a dollar has accrued
therefrom to the State, and $4,000
are demanded for the support of the
University for the present year!

An Example for Imitation.

In the case of the State VS.. Cyrus
Clarkson. (colored,) y indicted for grand
larceny, in stealing cattle, tried yester-
day in the Court of General Sessions,
the Jury, composed of colorcd men,
brought in verdict of "not guilty"
contrary to overwhelming and conclu-
sive evidence of the suilt of the
prisoner. No one upon the Jury was
able to write the verdict, and the
Judge ordered the Clerk of the Court,
to endorse it upon the record, and the
foreman to make his "mark."
His Honor then commented upon
the conduct Of the Jury Commission
ers in drawing men grossly illitcrate
and incompetent to serve as Jurymeu,
rebuked the Jury for their total disre-
gard of all law and evidence in the
case, ordered that their names be
stricken from. the jury list, and that
the Sheriff furnish twenty-four men of
intelligence and integrity, from which
another Jury might be selected. H.
expressed his regret that under the
law the verdict must stand, and that
he was unable to set it aside.
This conduct of Judge Carpenter
cannot be too ehighly commended
Some such vigorous and fearless ad-
niuistration Of justice is needed to
check the uubridled partizanship of
our public officers, and the shameless
disregard of all obligations shown by
many who are called to act as jury
men and witnesses in the Courts.
The above took place in Camden ou
the 2lst inst. It reminds US very
much of the case of the State rs. Adam
King, tried here in the Court Of Gen
cral Sessions on the same day. One
important and to beregrcttcd difference,
however, between the two cases is,
that the jurors who pronounced Adam
King mot guilty. still disgrace the
Court and County By their presence
as jurymen. His Honor Judge Moses
denounced this infamous verdict in
strong and indignant terms.

What is Man:

"Man is the sport Of fortune" He
is being of smiles and tcars,-now a
creature Of hope, now victim Of de-
spair. As he treads the fowcry path
of youth, all around him is bright and
fair, every glimpse of the future is
heightened by the soft pcncilings Of
happiness TO come. But soon the
picture is darkened by the gloomy
shadings of sadness and sorrow. To-
day every sound, that falls upon his
ear, breathes the music of hope; to-
morrow nought is heard save the notes
Of despair. Now life seems spread
out before him ! lovely landscape,
where every prospect, that meets the
eye, is arraYed in the bloom of coming
felicity. But alas! how soon are the
flowers Of pleasure blighted by the
chilling frosts of disappointment, and
the whole scene covered with the
white sheetings of misfortune's wintry
snow" "Such is life, in which shade
and sunshine chase each other over
the plain" Thus hath Providence
ordained it; and thus has history por-
trayed it.
But the young are 10th to learn the
lessons of history. In the morning of
life they eagerly pursue the phantom
of pleasure, ever looking toward the
"Golden Hereafter" where brighten
up before them the glorious anticipa-
tious of coming years. With migrate
full hand they dash from their lips the
cup they might enjoy, and look and
long for what they may never obtain.
Though basking in the sunlight of
prosperity, they feel not its genial rays;
though sailing gently along the stream
of time, they heed it not. till the
charm is broken and the dream dis
PEELED by lowering clouds and the rude
dasiiings Of angry waves. Then,
''shivering amid the pitiless pcltiugs
Of the storm Of advcrsity," they be.
gin to realize the versatility of human
events and the uuerring certainty with
which all things earthly pass away.
What then is man? y being "of
few days aud full of trouble" A be-
ing, whose life, uninfuenced by the
teachings Of the Bible, is a dream
more vain than the dreams of Socrates
or Plato. A way-farirg man, whose
journey. without the light of the Cos
pei upon it, leads to irrctrievable dark
ness. He is sailor upon the sen of
life, whose bark, unguided by "the
sublime chart of cur Immortal faith,"
will watt him into shipwreck and cter-
nal ruin.

On Our Table.

We have this week received the
neatly prepared Public Ledger Al
manac which is given gratuitously to
every subscriber to the Public LED.
ger, published by George W. Childs,
of Philadelphia. This almanac, in
addition to the usual contents of al
manacS, has, in condensed form, many
interesting and useful facts which will
make it valuable for reference.
We have also received pamphlet
published by the Department of Agri-
culture, containing a carefully prepared
treatise on the culture and mauufac-
turc Of ramie and jute, written by
Emile LeFranc, of New Orleans. Ex-
perimcnts recently made IN Louisiana,
on the cultivation and preparation of
these textiles show that they will, in
course of time, become an impor-
tant aud lucrative branch of agricul.
ture.
Also, the Report of the Board of
Regents aud the Superintendent Of the
Lunatic Asylum Of South Carolina,
fer rthe year ending October 3lst, 1873.
According to the report the Asylum
in some respects has been improved,
but its wants are still very great. Its
finances are in sad condition and its
credit is almost entirely gone. The
number of lunatics in the Asylum at
the beginning of the Year was 290;
the number admitted during the year,
9S, making a total during the gear Of
3SS; - Of whom were discharged as
recovered / as improved; II as Sta
tionary; and 81 as haviug died during
the year, leaving, October 5lst, 1873:
500, the most Of which number are
chronic cases, Of whose cure there is no
hope. 1t is recommended that the Ca
pacity of the Asylum be enlargea and
that the General Assembly make libe-
raj appsot~;aticp topay the backindebt
eduess of the institution; which is about
$4,000, and to secure more eornsort
to the inmates in the future.

half: past two o'clock. yesterday after
noon, by = heavy explosion, which was
heard for twenty miles away. 1t prov
ed to Ike the explosion of the gas works
on the premises of II. +. Bradford &
Co.'S knitting mills. The gas it seems.
had leaked from the pipes until the air
was filed, and it took fire from = boiler
communicating with the gas holder.
The mill is = onc-story brick building.
The explosion lifted the roof and burst
out the walls of the building, the roof
fell b..ck, crushing many Of the work
women. The fire spread instantaneous
" all over the building, and it was half
consumed before the flames could be
got under control. It was q fearful
scene; many of the women, screaming
terribly. were inside the building, and
it was not in the power Of any one to
help them. Ten are known to have
been killel. The reinains of some os

An Ex.NEW YORK STATE SENA.

An Ex-NEw YORK STATE SENA.
TOR SENT TO THE PEN1TENT1ARY.-
4 remarkable feature in the proceed
ings of the United States Circuit
Court, in New York, Tuesday, before
Judge Benedict, was the sentence Of
ten years Imprisonment which he i'm
posed upon Ex-senator William NJ.
Graham, who had been recently con-
victed of cmbczzliug about one hun
dred and seventy thousand dollars,
the property of the Waikiki! National
Bank, of which establishment he had
been president. Judge Benedict, ad-
dressing the prisoner, said: "Thcre
are, indeed, no cxtenunatiug circum-
stances in your case. You were
the president Of national bank,
and as YOU shamcfulIy abused the con-
fidencc reposed in you, and stole the
capital of the bank to use in your own
private speculat!ons, I, therefore:
feel Justified in inaicting upon you
the highest punishment allowed by
law. The sentence of the court is,
that You be imprisoned at hard labor
for ten years in the Albany peniteu,
tiary.' Horton the Cashier, who has
been accused of participating it the
fraud, is fugitive from justice.

DEMOCRATIC TExAs.-Gov. Davis,
of Texas, has made second appeal
to President Grant for force of Uni
ted States troops to enable him to re-
tain Office and oust the newly elected
Governor. The answer of the President
is more emphatic than his reply to the
first appeal, when he administered a
severe rcbuke to Mr.. Davis for giving
his official approval to the election
law and consenting to an election un-
der it, and then attempting to remain
in power by pleading point of tech
nical unconstitutionality. Had the
Governor elect been a Radical, his de-
featcd opponent would not have dream
ed of crying for Federal interference.
The Southern Radicals have. been so
accustomed to receive the support of
the United States Government, right
or wrong, that they have fallen into
the habit of believing. that popular
majority means nothing except when
it is in favor of Republican candidates,
and that, moreover, a free and fair
election which goes against "tha par
ty" will Instantly be set aside upon
proper representations being made at
Washington. AS in Virginia the
Texas Radicals have failed to accom-
plish their purpose. Instead of pro-
CARNATIONS commanding the rebels to
dispcrse, they receive snubbing. It
is refreshing to see most of the lead
ing Republican newspapers in the
North warmly commend the course of
President Grant on this Texas matter

Congress never needed watching as
much as now. There will be stealing
by the million to compensate for the
''rcpcal'' Of the ';grab:' which leaves
the back pay grabbed and the double
pay untouched. It would not be a
bad idea TO have those "rcbel archives"
overhauled: to see whether they con-
tain any scraps of paper bearing the
name Ben. Butler. The chances are,
however, that Ben. has already been
through them, pretending to be in
search Of testimony against somebody
else.

The Chief JuSficeShiD.

The Senate has seen fit to confirm
the nomination of Morrison R. Waite,
of Ohio, as Chief Justice. We know
nothing of Mr.. Waite, he has no nation
al reputation that we are awalc of, but
that does not necessarily signify that he
is not the proper person for so import
ant and honorable position as Chief
Justice. No ordinary man, however,
should be the successor of the great
Chase.
We clip from the Un;on-Herult the
following brief sketch of his life:
"He is 4 son of the late Chief Justice
Waite, of Connecticut, orc Of the lead
ing iurists Of New England. He is in
his tifty-eighth Year, and graduated ut
Yale College, at the age of twenty-five.
In 1888. he went to Toledo, and
studied law with S. NJ. Young, with
whom he pra, ticcd for eighteen years.
He has for many years stood ut the head
of the bar Of northwestern Ohio, and
twice declined 4 seat on the Supreme
Court bench Of Ohio.
"In 1919, he was elected q member
Of the Legislature, serving with distinc-
ton. In 1862, he was I candidate for
Congress. and though defeated, received
4 majority of 1900 in Toledo. In De
cember, 1871, he was appointed as
counsel at Geneva, which position he
filed with honor. He is now serving
as president OF the Ohio Constitutional
Convention, to which position he WIS
chosen by the unanimous vote Of both
parties.n'
