Governor Chamberlain has addressed
n letter to Judge Reed in regard to the
recent oommutation of the sentence of the
murderer Gibbs by Lieut.. Gov Gleaves.
The Governor takes the ground that the
act of Mr.. Gleaves was null and void, as
the power of the 1t Governor to assume
the duties of Governor, can only be exer-
cised when the Governor has permanent
ly absented himself from the State, and
that the prisoner must bc brought up and
resentenced. The Lieut.. Governor is
thus made liable to censure for his ac-
tion unless the courts shall decide tha {
he has not exceeded the powers of his
office. We have faith in the belief of
Mr.. Gleaves that he was authorized to
commutethe sentence of Gibbs and we
hope for: his sake and his successors in
office that the matter may be definitely
settled and have done with this conflict
of authority. We are told that the At
torney Generarsteiegrapbed Mr.. Gleaves
to offer rewardfpr the capture of Par
ker; if this is so it shows that Mr.. Melton
at least recognized, Mr.. Gleaves as the
legal Governor at the time

Ihe preliminary proceedings have
been taken, and are now before Judge
Maher at Barnwell for his signature, to
try by suit in the nature ola 9uo car-
rdnto the title of Mr. Dunn to administer
the office of Comptroller-Ge General. The
ground taken is that the Constitution re
quires that the Comptroller-General be
elected by the qualified voters of the
State, and that Mr. Dunn has never been
so elected. The case is made in the
name of the Attorney General for the
State, on the complaint of tho Hon.
James B. Campbell, and alleges that the
incumbent has "intrudcd into, usurpcd
and unlawtully holds and administers
the office.

In the name of humanity we protest
against the incarceration of prisoners in
the town guard house. The ingenuity of
man could not have been taxed more
lndustrlously to devise viler and
more perfect sweat hox than the structure
which was built for the confinement of
such as are arrested by the town marshal
tor an infraction of the peace and good
order of the town. This prison, if such
it might be called, consists of few cells
OF the naIrowest and most limited di-
mensions with closely compacted set
OF walls beneath the town hall, and has
no other ventilation than that afforded
by barred window in each of by
IL luches In these narrow and
confined cells the wretch who happens
to be thrust therein must undergo an in
tensity of suffering from foul air and
sweltering heat that is at once a punish
ment commensurate with any crime of
which he may have been guilty. We
understand that the abomination cost
the town the modest sum of two or three
hundred dollars. We think that the
council rendered themselves liable for
permitting SO vile IL prison house to be
used and surely ifa death from suffoca-
tion should occur within its walls it
would DE difficult to ahsolvc themselves
from the blood of the poor creature
thus sacrificed.

Saturday on Mr.. Pollitzer's fine grounds,
there being large number of ladies and
gentlemen present to witness the game.
At the end of four games the score stood
three to one. Out of tender regard
for the feelings of the defeated party we
forbear to mention the names of the
contestants as it is intimated that they
are in seclusion for the purpose of prac-
tlce. The game announced to come off

to have been Played between two men,
