Municipal Economy.

1t is certainly gratifying to observe a
change in the policy of our city fathers.
The steps toward economy seem feeble
and uncertain as yet, but perhaps if en-
couragement is extended they will grow
stronger and more to the purpose. The
Democratic party has spoken in favor of
economy and cannot afford to oppose any
measure in that direction, although the
manner in which it is effected may be
open to criticism. .-fs
Economy is one of the great needs in
the Wilmington municipal government,
as we'll as in the government of almost
every city in the country.
The reduction in the salaries, which
has been proposed, is a small item, and will
not fallymeet the general wish or the OBJ
ject desired. But in this matter there
has not been fair and proper considera-
tion. The police duty is hard one, and
while SO far as we have heard, those on
the force do not complain, it would be
well to compare their service with the
service rendered by others in other posi-,
tions. There might be some adjustment
of salaries; but the chief matters of
economy will be foundin the general ex-
penditures. These expenditures should
be curtailed. Then by judicious system
Of contracting for work the city might
save many thousands of dollars, and at
the same time have its work better done.
The Cool Spring Reservoir is a fair ex-
ample of how money may be squandered.
The City Council should also insist
upon more economy in the School Board.
The cost of the schools has greatly in
creased within the last few years; and
there should be a cu1tailment. While
Judge Hall was President of the Board
he expense per scholar was very much
less than now, and the Board ought to be
willing TO approximate lower rate. We
think this ought to be reached without
depressing the standard of education.
But the necessary economy to affect the
real estate interest by the reduction of
taxation cannot be reached through either
economy in the schools or reduction OF
salaries. II must be sought in the gen
eral expenditures for work upon the
streets, public buildings, &C.

The President acknowledges that he is
moving armsandamunition toNorthern ar
senals, and justifies himself by alleging
that Buchanan did the same thing, only
the other way, during the last months of
his term. If Grant is right, Buchanan
can't be blamed, and if fBuchanan's action
was censurable, Grant is wrong. Our
Republican friends may take whichever
end OF the argument they prefer. Be-
tween Southern secession and Republican
revolution the American people prefer
peace and the Constitution. Also they
mean to have the same.

A Water Commission.

There is really too much duty imposed
upon our City Councilmen. We have
long thought that Council ought to be in
creased in number, SO that these duties
would fall more lightly, and every class
OF the people be represented.
If there were three members for each
ward, we believe more professional men
could be elected, and the Council eleyat-
ed in its standard of representation. At
present too much devolves upon few
members because of the need ofmen bet
ter qualified to perform intelligently cler-
zeal duty.
But our present purpose is only to sug-
gest that the Council should be relieved
of some of its arduous duties; and we
think this might be done if that body
would turn the completion of the reser-
Voir over to commission. There is no
hurry for finishing this work; and we
think it could be done more cheaply un-
der such body subordinate to the Coun-
Gil. We stand in need of more large
mains or supply pipes, and can well afford
to wait the completion of the reservoir.
And we believe the Council would act
wisely in delegating the finishing of the
work to commission of good men select
ed with sole regard to qualification and
reliability. And we understand that
some of the Republican members are
favorable to this mode of finishing this
already too costly work

The Associate Justice.

Among all the candidates who are seekers
for, or mentioned In connection with this po-
sition, there Is no man who stands higher in
his professional character, or who is more
universally respected and admired for the
many virtues which mark him as q gentle
man and patriot Of the highest order, than
General Samuel MCGOWAN, of Abbeville. No
man has led a more gallant and unseltish ca
reer han he has In every public trial, wheth-
or 1t be in military or civic life. His rare
and brilliant attachments at the bar eminent
ly qualify him for the highest judicial honors,
n there is NJ man in this State In whose
elevation the people would feel more just
pride. He was decidedly the popular candi-
date of this section for the United States
Senate, and nothing but the force Of extra
ordinary and unusual circumstances could at
this time have prevented his election rs Chief
Justice. From the very moment that he
withdrew as u candidate for Chief Justice,
there should have been no hesitation, no
doubt. no hating by the members of the Cen
eral Assembly in reaching a conclusion to
elect him to the Associate position. No man
In the State deserves more Of the Democratic
party, and no man has SO many friends
among all parties. We do not believe that
we e1aggeratc In saying that General Nc
Gowan could carry three votes to where any
other man mentioned for tire position would
get one before the people of South Carolina.
He is q large-hearted, noble and intellectual
giant, upon whom the highest honors of his
state or nation would sit with grace and
honor. We sincerely hope he may be added
to the Supreme Court, where he would do
himself high honor and our people lasting
good.-Anderson Int .Hi0enccr.

From the Lancaster Ledger.
The No Fence Law-How it Opera
ties In This County.

The no fence seems to be attracting on
siderable attention in some portions of the
State, and in the Legislature. The expe-
rience in the northern section Of this and
adjoining counties is favorable to the en-
terprise. In February of last year the
ball was put in motion, and a number of
land owners signed q written agreementto
test the merits of no fence by actual OK
perience. The line which we now have
was constructed by a committee appoint
ed for the purpose-this line extends from
Doby's Bridge on Sugar creek westward
to the North Carolina line. TO pay tho
expenses of constructing the fence on
this line III assessment was made upon
all the real estate owners in the boundary,
according to mount owned and benefit
received. Before this plan was adopted
persons who had poor fences, were an
noyed continually with stock roaming at
large over the country, and not unfrc-
quently were stock mutilated for their
depredations upon the growing crops.
Whether a man has a lawful fence or not,
he will not stand by and sce cattle destroy
his hard labor-and whether shooting or
DIGGING stock was lawful or not, no per-
son could reasonably blame him.
There was some objections to testing
the no fence plan when first ~innuguratcd,
but after giving it a short trial every per-
son within the bounds was highly pleased
with it. We now have no trouble with
n neighbors; no shooting Of COWS and
no hard feelings as before. The present
system saves us of a great amount of la
Dor on fences, and which, we can profita-
bly, devote to the making of manure, etc.
Those who once try the no fence plan will
never 60 back to old fogy ideas. W.

The Death Penalty.

BY reference to an article in another
column it will be seen that an effort is
being made to increase the number of
crimes to which the death penalty should
attach. This is a step backwards and we
hope that it will not be taken. We be-
lieve the death penalty should be erased
entirely from our statutes. The Chris
tianity and civilization of the age is
working in that direction. In some of the
despotic countries even, the death penalty
is unknown in times of peace. Russia,
for instance, never puts a man to death.
The vilest and most venomous reptile
that crawis the earth should be allowed
to live, if it was put beyond it's power to
injure anybody. Would it not be cow
ardly to inflict death or even pain upon
such a creature? Men guilty of murder
and other grave offences should be i'm
prisoned for life and the Governor should
not be allowed the privilege Of p%ardoning
such. Already seven cf the States of the
Union have done away with capital pun
ishment and we hope South Carolina
may soon follow suit. This is the direc-
ton Of the Christian sentiment of the
world.

RICHMOND. VA. AprIl 10. l81

To the Editor Of The A~n,crtcun Israelue:
On last sabbath, April eth, the community
was delighted to witness one of those inter
esting land nowadays rare treats viz, q
regular orthodox Bar Mitzvah, at the ancient
Portuguese Synagogue, Beth ShalomC, q con-
grcgation organized In 1853, where the popu-
lar and eloquent Rev. Isaac P. Mendes, Is the
minister, and the young gentlemen who was
admitted in the Congregation Of Jacob is
Master Melvin Winstock, O very bright and
promising boy. the son OF S. A.. Winstock.
Esq, one of the most popular and respected
Jewish citizens of this city, who Is also the
President of the Congregation.
The minister read Shachrith and Torah, and
we never heard the prayers read more beau
tifully. His voice Is well cultivated and very
sweet. The Bar Mitzvah was called up to
Maphtire and read the portion very correctly,
he also intoned the Haphtorlh in u manner
which delighted all who were present. After
the scrolls were returned to the ark then
came an agreeable surprise; Master Win
stock came upon the Tabuh and commenced
to read Moosaph in u loud, strong and very
sweet voice; during the whole Of his reading
the entire congregation were keptspell-bound.
After the Moosaph he offered up u most
beautiful and impressive prayer in English,
then read Olanu and retired to his accustom-
cd seat. Rev. Mr.. Mcnds then delivered an
eloquent and Instructive discourse on the
Importance Of educating The Jewish children,
taking as his text. Train up a child in the
way he should go, SO that when he Is old he
may not depart from IT,, which was replctc

style, and was highly appreciated by one Of
the largest and most intelligent assemblys
that ever attended divine worship in that
synagogue. There were not only members OF
that Congregation present, but many belong
ing to other synagogues, and likewise O large
number OF Christians.
All went away delighted with what they
saw and heard, expressing their admiration
for the Reverend gentlemen and his pupil.
\ reception was held at the residence of Mr..
Winstock, where his numerous friends We'd
with each other in paying their respects and
offering congratulations.

Immense Loss by the Credit System


The merchants of this town have lost
two hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars since the war. This amount
would buy all the goods now in town, as
well a every building on the Public
Square. This is some evidence of the
impoverished condition of the country,
and the reckless manner in which our
planters and others 60 in debt on specu-
lation. This course if pursued would
bankrupt h whole country. the lien
law has been repealed and the farmer
will be made by the force of circumstan-
ces, to learn to be moro independent, by
raising his own produce. The lew may
work temporary hardships to some, but
there is no doubt that the repeal Of this
law will be the salvation Of the country.
No farmer who leaves his field to go to
town to buy corn, on a credit, at the rate
of from ten to twenty per cent. a month
can sustain himself, unless legitimate
farming is the most profitable business
in the world. We say we'll done, Legis-
lators, stick to it and the farmers will
be obliged to be more prosperous than
heretofore, and the merchant will make
money by selling for cash.

The Chief JusticcshIp.

The augusta Chronicle and COMStitu-
tiouo1ist, Of the 18th instant, has some
well-timed remarks on the election of a
Chief Justice. We fully agree with that
paper on this subject. 1t
to us like going back on Il prin-
to elect a Radical to this important
office after we have SO porsistently advo-
Gated champion and Home Rule" To
Hampton for Governor and Willard
for Chief Justice looks like champion"
with the "Home Rule left out. The C..
& c.. says:
TIE SOUTH CAROLINA CHIEF JUS
rIcEsHIP.-The alleged effort of Gov.
Hampton to make Judge Willard Chief
Justice of South Carolina is Il puzzle not
only to the Senator from Edgetield, but
has caused some surprise III Louisiana.
The NeW Orleans Democrat. which did
more to rescue the Pelican State than any
other agency, referring to and copying
in full Gen. Garv's letter, says: "What
Gov. Hampton's reasons for urging Will
lard's election are, we do not know. But
it would seem that, if there is any neccs-
sity for a Democratic Governor or Lcgis-
lature to bcstow Office, honors and emolu-
ments upon Radicals, some other office
than that of Chief or Associate Justice
should be chosen to give them. The pu-
%rification of u political system depends
more upon the men whom we make
Judges than upon any others, and only
men whose lives during the past ten years
have been a bold, constant and vigorous
protest against, or rather warfare upon,
Radicalism, should be appointed to the
Bench"
Governor Hampton errs, we think, in
pushing Wizards "claim" Oh two
grounds: First, because of the suspicion
Of Il ''dicker and bargain attached there
to and, secondly, because he seems to be
under the impression that such favorit-
ism would appease Northern sentiment,
as illustrated by Ben Wade, Wendell
Phillips ct id omne genus. The truth OF
the matter is that the only way to deal
with the Northern ~doctrinaireS of the
Jacobin school is to intrepidly defy them.
This was the Georgia plan," and it has
worked like a charm. If Gov. Hampton
felt under any obligation, for some reason
other, to simply suggest Willard, let him
stop with that intimation. But the peo-
pie of South Carolina cannot too prompt
" redeem and purge their Judiciary, and
we are not entirely hopeless that some
stainless native South Carolinian, will be
elected to the Chief Justiceship of the
State.

More Work for Our Legislators.

AS some Of the members of our Legis-
lature are getting so bloodthirsty that
they want to mako nearly all the crimes
punishable with death, as we'll as the
making the killing of the balance Of the
offenders excusable homicide, we think
it nothing but fair to make it excusable
or justitiable homicide to kill q Judge or
Juryman who shall be late at Court.
The same act might be so extended az to
embrace the shooting of delinquent SUBJ
scribcrs Of the county papers, ifthc num-
ber were not so great. We think that
the crime of hitching a horse to a shade
tree might be made punishable with
death, if some enterprising member of
the Legislature would take tho matter in
hand. He could, at least, introduce a bill
to that effect at the extra session. Such
all important matter should not be neg
lected. Somebody else might get credit
for proposing the law If the matter il de-
81 many days.
