The First Step in Reform.

The iirst step in politic.. reform
was taken in Columbia On Friday
last in the election for Judge Of the
first circuit to fill the vacancy caused
by the dccth Of Judge q, aham.
This is very important position.
Besides having the o~t wealthy
portion of the State under his jur,s.

A Great and Growing Evil.

IN the CcrvNr Of general reform
which how seems t, pcrvade the
body politio in South Carolina, there
ara several see emingly minor matters
that havo bcen entirely ignored.
Financial reforms are indeed de.
sirable and important, and if the
Radicals keep thoir pledges, We an
ticipatc great improvement. High
taxation and the inj ilcious man
agemcnt of tho public oney, how
ever, arc by no means the only evil
Of which the people have q right to
complain. Recently there has bcen
much carelcssness in the judiciary
department. Term after term has
been held, and ..suddenly adjourned
for reasons doubtless satisfactory to
the judges but probably productive
Of serious Inconvenience to lawyers
and clients alike. 1t seems indeed
hard that an accused persons should
lie long in prison because Of fail
urc on tho part Of judge to hold
court; and fortunately this rarely
happens. But the right of personal
liberty is by no means tho only or
the chief right whose enforcement
is the SOLEMN duty dcvolving on the
courts Of justice the rights Of pro-
perty arc equally sacred. The re-
suit Of the many delays and irrcgu.
laritics in tho administration Of jus.
tice is that people generally have
lost confidence in tho courts - iu
many cases att,ibuting the delay to
the chicanery or malpractice of the
bar. But this is miHor considera.
ton. The pccuniary losses and per
sonal Inconvenience nre quite Ms
serious, and should commend them;
seves to tho early attention of tho
judiciary, and if need be, tho legis
lative department. of tho State gov
ernment. In many counties the sew
oral dockets arc 80 crowded tha
there seems scarcely a reasonabl,
hope of ever clearing them. Il,
provide against such a state of thing
is not only tho privilege but, W
think, the imperative duty of tn
several judges. The me III bers of th
bar vii! certainly cooperate in sucl
u measure. Aside from any con
sideration Of the high sense of dut,
and honor that hos always marke,
the bar of South Carolina, self.inter
est nlono would be strong enough t,
induce thom to join heartily j,
bringing about tho much neede,
charge. We trust that the severa
judges will give this matter thei
early anl earnest attention, ant
thus relieve sgisluture Of ,

Tho Nows and Courier contains
extracts from various, Northern
psporr, showing the very favorable
impression produced by Gov. Cham
berlain's inaugural. These extracts
plainly show how conspicuous n
place South Carolina now occupies
in the Federal Union. If Gov.
Chamberlain will have tho fore. to
put in practice tho line Of policy
he has marked out, he oan accom-.
plish results that will serve to in.
crease and porpotuate tho encomi
ums he has already rcoeived. If tho
Legislature thwart him In Ills pur.
posas, tho responsibility will rest
upon thom, and not upon him.

at tho recent meeting of tho State
Tax Union, Gen. Bratton, of Fairfield
introduced the following resolutions,
which were adopted
Whereas, tho manner Of conduct
ing elections has direct tendency
in giving character to tho govern
ment elected, and whereas proper
registration laws have always, and
everywhere, been considered the
best guardian of the fairness as we'll
as the purity of the ballot box :; and,
whereas, the want of registration
laws in this State is not only palpa.
BILE disregard of the constitution, but
has proven the source Of fraud and
corruption iu past elections, and
will, no doubt, be rs mischicvous in
the future, unless proper laws OH tho
subject lie enacted, as required by
the constitution. 70 promote the
early enactment Of such laws, be
it
Resol,ed, That the executive com.
mit,co of the Tax Unions te charged
with tho subject, with instructions
to investigate the conduct and char
acter of the recent elections, to sec
if frauds at the ballot box have not
been perpctrated with impunity,
and the probable cxtent of the evil.
Resoired, That The subordinate
Fax Unions OF the counties be re-
qucstcd and instructed to canvass the
voting of the late elections in their
lprrcincts, aud ascertain the facts
in regard to these frauds, and repor,
the results monthly to the executive
committee.
Rcsolved, That the executive com
mittce be requested to prepare in
structions to the Subordinate Un
ions as to the best course Of proceed
urc in the discharge of their dutie
in the premises.
| The idea cf Gen. Bratton is that i
q mass Of evidence be collected
demonstrating to the whole union tn
irregularities and frauds that wcr
practised at the last election, th
force ofpdblic opinion will be 3
great as to compel the radical part
,, to pass stringent laws preserviu
8 the purity of the ballot box.
The Union Herald squcaks dread
fully over this proposition Of rcgi,
tration. AS usual it is consistent: j
D one Issue maintaining that the white
, would not register while the black
would, and in another that such
$ law would give tho "Ku Klux D'
n mocracy" two chances Of iEtimida
q ing the in.ff.nsivc republican. b
-. the way, the less tho Union flcral
0 says about ku klux democracy an
y tho more it turns it's attention I
!. thieving radicalism, the better i
!. party's chances in 1876.
