Let PoIilicnI reform lcginatmomo

Let Political Reform Hcgin at Homo.
| To The Editor off Hrruhf gIE 1LH
| There is great deal said nuw~a-days
about the "unwOrthiuussn OF our higher
officials, though never word OF re-
proach for those OF lower degree, To-
day, and for many DAYS have the streets
of our own town of Columbia, presented
the disgraceful spectacle OF beastly
| drunken Justice OF tho Peace, but not
a syllable Of condemnation I'M Ourpublio
prints, to mould public sentiment, and
arouse the people, against voting such
an one into position of trust and power!
| Had some obscure and thoughtless
| country youth fallen into town, and
| through bad influences, lpDrghguc6 here
brought TO boar upon him1 become in
ebriated, his namo and offence would
no doubt have appeared iu iull. Now
ii does seem TO mo those holding Ofli-
cial position arc tho moro Culpablo in
such acts, and when they persist In thus
disgracing themselyC- and lhgir Offices,
they are the very ones who should res
ceive public r0priiuaud; that tho people
who hOnored them with official life may
know their characters WCll, and DO urS
ged to withdraw their trust from such
unworthy hands. IfcOrrupi ION iu "liigh
Places" is to be successfully attacked,
we should begin 10 roo out OF our pow
er our inefficient and corrupt yrt'V oils
GERS, for, when we have ono unsuitable
President or Governor, we hayO thOus-
ands Of minor officers who arc "a blur
upon the national iame---let as then
begin our reforms politically as wo
should our charity, commencing at
home, and by throwing all but g0Od
men from Office, let us, 80 to speak,
'caTry the onomy's OUt~ryTtS," and
thus surrounding our higher officials
with a more purified atmosphere Of
worthy souls, we will bo i'm position
more consistently and successfully to
demand purity in high places.
1t Is no excuse tor a Magistrate, Con.
stable or other officer TO argue his iusti-
fication upon the grounds Of being 500
Der, &c, during the discharge Ofauy OILS
cial acts, because, TO say nothing OF his
PERM cious example (Which owing To
his official authority carries the creator
he should understand, tho poo~
pie do not elect him for his own convo>
nience, &C., but, place public officers ia
suitable numbers, and at proper dis.
tances in the community, tO gubservo
the public convenience; and their duty
as faithful officers, is TO boo ON hand aud
in condition to render ciHrieut service
at any time when called upon. Again,
It is as muChlthe duty oil miuoIo1icors as
1t is of our President or Governor TO DO
sober, genteel, moral and dipuinod.
/ believe, Mr.. Editor, the great secret
Of good government is TO educate tho
people more and more, and for them to
be strictly conscientious and careful in
he selection of any and an officials Of
whatever kind and degree putting
none into publ; position oi trust, that
hey would not individually trust with

Recnnt Holy Land Discoveries

Lieut.. Condor of the English Palestine
party is confident that he has identified the
site of the ancient city of Adullam, with Da-
yid's famous cave, some four miles from
Bethlehem. At this rate of discovery
or seven important Biblical places having
already been definitely located-our maps
Of sacred Palestine will have to be entirely
remodeled. These announcements appear to
be made only after careful comparison be-
tween the localities and his historical data,
and may be accepted as correct. In the case
Of Adullam, for example, the topography an
swers to the recorded facts, and the name,
moreover, survives, the modern places being
called Avd el Mien, which preserves all the
essential letters Of Adullam Prof Paine's
claim, in the latest statement of the Ameri-
can society for the exploration of Palestine,
to have discovered in Jebel Slaghah, lower
peak Of Nebo, the ancient Pisgah, is quoted
by the Itica@u@ and other English journals
with remarks that as yet the proposed identi-
ication rests solely on the grounds that this
summit is the only spot where Moses could
have seen the whole Of The Promised land
and with the name Of Psgah fingers in the
word Slaghah.

a recently enacted law of Illinois
provides that for stealing any sum
under $l5. the thief shall 60 to the
County Jail, and for stealing anything
over that amount. he shall 90 to the
State prison; but for stealing the exact
sum OF Sl5. there is no penalty named.
It is said that since the enactment OF
this law, the only people in the State
who are not trying to steal an even
sum OF SIS. are those who have already
been imprisoned for having stolen
either more or less than that amount.
