THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 10, 1877.
t.Ex-Gov. Chamberlain, like the Arab,
is silently folding his tent and preparing
to leave US forever, if:he has not indeed
already taken his fight for Northern
climes.

The President and his Cabinet have
decided to call no extra session of Con-
gress before the 18th of October, as they
profess to be able to get along without
any appropriation during the meantime.
The real cause, however, is that Mr..
Hayes was expecting to receive enough
Southern Democratic votes to elect a
Republican Speaker of the National
House, but finds that he will at present
surely fail. He has postponed the extra
session to endeayor by his Southern
policy to secure the needed votes. In
this, however; we predict that he will
signally fail, and that when Congress
meets in October the Democratic phalanx
will be more solid than it is even now. :

A large establishment has beer
opened in St. Louis for drying eggs. 1t
is in full operation, and hundreds OF
thousands of dozens are going into its in
satiable nav. The eggs are carefully
"candled" by hand-thatis, examined by
light to ascertain whether good or not
and are then thrown into an immense re-
ceptacle, where they are broken, and by
centrifugal operation the white and
yolk are separated from the shell very
much as liquid honey is separated from
the comb. The liquid is then dried by
heat, by patent process, and the dried
article is left, resembling sugar, and is
put in barrels and is ready for transporta-
ton anywhere.

: There seems to be general agree.

There seems to be general agree
ment in Europe that the Turk ought to
leave that continent, but the great diff
Guilty of the Eastern question is as to who
shall take his place. The various nations
of the old world are like the greedy rela-
tives of rich invalid, who are unanimous
in the opinion that he cannot die too
soon, but are at swords points as to the
person who ought to be his heir. The
shoes ought to be vacatad, but who is to
step into the shoes? This is the problem
which amazes and distracts Europe, and
is the only hope of Turkey. But for that
the Moslem power would perish more
rapidly than it arose.

= Silas M. Patterson, of South Carroll
ma Supreme Court notoriety, a son OF
Honest John, who represents South Car
olina in the Senate, has left Columbia,
where he has been in the interest of the
Congressional Executive Committee Of
this city. He declares that Hayes has
sent the Radical party to the devil, and
that Republican convention will never
be held in the State again. He says the
South Carolina negroes are very, bitter
against Hayes, and that if the President
were to undertake tour of that State,
they would pelt him with rotten eggs.
Patterson says he is mortified to think
that his father is obliged to mingle with
such men as Hayes and Evarts, both Of
whom think Returning Boards are good
enough to make Presidents, but not de-
cent enough to make Governors.

THE ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.

Among all the candidates who are
seekers for, or mentioned in connection
with this position, there is no man who
stands higherin his professional character,
Or who is more universally respected and
admired for the many virtues which mark
him as a gentleman and patriot of the
highest order, than General Samuel Nc
Gowan, of Abbeville. No man has led a
more gallant and unselfish career than he
has in every public trial, whether it be
in military or civic life. His rare and
brilliant attainmenb at the bar eminent
ly qualify him for the highest judicial
honors, and there is no man in this State
in whose elevation the people would feel
more just pride. He was decidedly the
popular candidate Of this section for the
United States Senate, and nothing but
the force of extraordinary and unusual
circumstances could at this time have
prevented his election as Chief Justice.
From the very moment that ne withdrew
as candidate for Chief Justice, there
should have been no hesitation, no doubt,
no hating by the members of the Gem
eral Assembly in reaching 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 exaggerate in saying
that General MCGOWAN could carry three
votes to where any other man mentioned
for the position would get one before the
people of South Carolina He Is alarge-
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. tn

THE UsURY Law.

The General Assembly is now consid-
ering the propriety of re-enacting the
old Usury Law of South Carolina, where
by the charge for loaning money was
limited to seven per cent. per annum.
This is very important measure, and we
think its agitation should have been de-
ferred to the next regular session of the
Legislature, but as the matter is squarely
before the present session we, think it
should be permanently disposed of, for
its continual agitation is injurious to the
country by producing feeling of unrest
among capitalists, which, instead of re-
ducing the rate of interest, tends to keep
it high. Therefore, although in some
respects We think the season for enacting
a Usury Law. inopportune, yetas the Leg
islature is called upon to adopt or reject
it, we hope it will become law without
further delay. To defeat the Bill at this
time would be to prejudice its passage
next Fall, and therefore; every effort
should now be brought to bear to secure
its success. That Usury Law would
benefit the material and industrial in
terests of the State cannot successfully be
controyerted- i The use of money to be
of public benefit must, be upon such
terms as to secure advantage both to
borrower and lender, for if interest is too
low, the capitalist is injured and money
is withdrawn from circulation, while if
interest is too high labor is overburdened
and its fruits, instead of being difused
between capital and labor, are concen-
trated into the hands of money lenders,
thereby doing the country comparatively
little good. When interest on money is
too high it tends to withdraw capital
from permanent investment and let it
out on short loans, for when capitalists
can lend money at fifteen per cent. they
have sure income of fifteen dollars on
every hundred, and of course they are
unwilling to invest in factories, railroads,
canals, &C., even if there is prospect of
making larger dividend. They prefer
the certainty of large per cent. rather
than the risk of greater gains by invest
ment. The result is that since the aboli-
ton of the Usury Law serious check
has been placed upon the material pros
perity of the State. To prove that this
principle is: recognized by the best sys-
TENS of laws in the United States, we
need only mention the fact that the great
States of. New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Lou
isiana, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois and
indeed all the most reliable and prospe-
rous States except Massachusetts have
strict Usury Laws. We believe it is ab-
solutely necessary, in order to restore
South Carolina to prosperity, that the
rate of interest should be lightened, for
it rests as an incubus upon labor and is a
lever in the hands of few men. This
should not be the case, and the only
means of correcting this abuse is the
re.enacting of the old Usury Law,

THE PROPOSED TAX.

The committee on Ways and Means
have reported q tax bill of five mills for
State purposes and three for county,
making total Of eight mills. From
this amount the ten per cent. already
paid in is to be deducted, SO that the
burden Of the tax will be considerably
Gghtened. The bill will in. all probabil-
ity become law, and our people will
have to pay in this amount, which is
necessary to run the government until
next year. ,,s,

The colored men have nothing more tc

politics can give them as q class. They
are fairly started and established in the
race of life. They are as free and secure
in their freedom as all other men, and
like all other men, must take theil
chances. The color line in politics hav.
ing been .obliterated, the colored race
politically, is henceforth merged in and
lost in the general mass of the people.

A BLACK BRUTE.-On Friday after
noon last, Jim Houston, q stalwart negro,
some Is or 80 years of age, living on the
plantation of Mr.. Samuel Barron, in the
vicinity of Tirzah Church in this county,
whipped child of his own color so un.
mercifully that his life is despaired of.
The victim of the fiend's brutality is the
son of Ed. Witherspoon, neighbor, and
over whom Houston has no legal right of
control. The little boy was at Houston's
house, however, by invitation, and on
the evening in question Houston sent
him on some errand to Mr.. Barron's
house. Not making the haste that Hous.
ton desired, when the little boy, only
seven or eight years old, returned to the
field where Houston was at work, the
latter tied the child's arms around tree
and proceeded to whip him, first, as the
brute himself admits, using cedar limbs,
and afterwards hickory withes, continu-
ing the fagelstion until the child was
literally fayed from the crown of his
head to the soles of his feet. The child
was then made to walk to the house,
where he remained uncared for until the
next evening, when word reached his
father of the cruel treatment he had re-
ceived and he was taken home, and bis
body, a mass of sores, WAS dressed. On
Monday the child was brought to town
for medical treatment, and placed under
care of DR.. Alexander, who expresses
doubt as to its recovery. On application
of the father, Trial Justice Lewis issued
warrant for the arrest of the fiend, and
he was promptly brought before that Off
cial on Monday afternoon, and by him
committed to Jail to await the result OF
the Injuries inflicted upon the child.
Houston appears to have no regrets for
his barbarous act, speaking of it as though
he had performed a meritorious deed.
While on his way from the courtyard to
the Jail, he received the execrations OF
men and women of his own color, some
of whom thought Governor Hampton
wouldn't make much fuss about it if they
we're to take the wretch out and give him
similar Aogging to that which he inAic-
ted upon the child ;" while colored wo-
man remarked, eyes," and if white
man had whipped negro that way,
regiment of soldiers would have been
sent here right offl"- -Norkvilk Enquirer.

= The impression prevails in CONNER
cial circles that the spectators for rise
in breadstuffs have overdone the bust
ness, and will quite likely come out
losers. Very little of the grain purchased
to meet the expected foreign demand has
been shipped. Should the war prove a
brief one of single campaign, and in
volve no other European powers than the
present contestants, there will not be
sufficient demand for American grain to
justify natural advance in prices.
There is q prospect, however, of short
crop in this country, which will, of
course, serve to keep up war prices.

strive for the elevation and prosperity of
the State.
Reformatory legislation has not been
forgotten. Salaries and officers have
been reduced, and every means used to
Tighten the load of taxation. A bill has
passed the House to hire out the convicts
in the Penitentiary; to prevent the buy !.
ing, selling or receiving for trade seed
cotton between the getting and rising of
the sun; the County Treasurers' pay cut
down to $500, and the Auditors to 500 {;
the Sup't. of Education to $l,S75, and
the School Commissioners to $500. The
Senate has also passed several bills re-
ducing pay.
Economy is pervading the whole at.
mosphere of legislation, and is rendering
Offices desirable for the honor in them
and not the profit. The public debt
worries the Legislature beyond express
sion, and the bills of the Bank of the
State are worse than nightmares. Not
one cent of either, however, will be paid
until its validity is established beyond the
shadow of q doubt.
Judge Wright, the colored Associate
Justice, is in hot water. It was declared
in resolution introduced in the House
that he was a drunkard and unfit for a
Judge. A committee was appointed to
examine into it, and they have ascer.
tanned that he has frequently been picked
up out of the cutters utterly drunk and
carried home by policemen that he has
been very drunk fifteen minutes before
and fifteen minutes after court, and that
he has occupied his position on the bench
very drunk. They will report in few
days, and it is probable that he will re-
tire to private life. j. l.. 0.

More Mormon Troubles.

Whatever credence may be given to particular rumors from Utah, says the New York Tribune, it is sufficiently cer- tain that in various parts of that terri tory an uneasy feeling is existing among the Mormons, which Brigham Young is doing nothing to allay. Indeed, his public utterances, if they are correctly represented, are anything but pacific. He is said to be preaching & crusade, which the Gentiles of the territory natu. rally regard as preached against them selves. Of course, compared with Nor mon population, they are mere handful, and they may we'll indulge in some apprehension of violence. In Salt Lake City specially they are greatly out numbered We are further informed that the military preparations of the Mormons are considerable; that drilling is going on continually, and that arms have been shipped in great numbers from the east.
 Brigham Young and his more unscrup- ulous devotees are doubtless laboring under great apprehension. The vigor displayed in the trial and execution oi Lee has proved conclusively that the temporal power in Utah is no longer in the hands of the Latter Day Saints. We do not know precisely what they may
