THE L0wNDEsvILLE MURDERERs

Governor Hampton has yeprieyed the
whole Of the LcGndesville murderers un-
til the fourth of May, at which time the
execution will probably take place. The
press of the State has taken more or less
interest In this case, and all, we believe,
except one or two papers, concur in the
opinion that the sentences of portion
of the doomed men should be commuted
to imprisonment for life in the peniten-
tiary. This Is MT because they look
upon any of them as not guilty, for the
verdict of the jury establishes the guilt
of all. The position taken by those who
favor the execution Of oil Ia based >on
The fact that all are ennellv niiiltv OF
course they are. There is no such thing
before the law as degrees Of guilt. But
have those persons ever thought of the
fact that where all are equally guilty,
some are more criminal than others9
Tho criminality of the parties is the basis
of punishment, and tits easy to under
stand how some of these men are more
criminal than others, for tho5e who raised
the company and prompted the deed are
the authors of the crime, and are more
meritnrinnR of nnniahmanE hy danih than
thoses who only helped to execute their
fearful crime. .It wonld be difficult to
find ten men equally criminal In the
sane act The leading spirits-the
stronger minds the older heads of the
crowd-nre the mist dangerous criminals,
and vii, we believe, certainly hang. But
those who were entice:3 into st by
Others. and the youngest ones of the
crowd viii moat probably be commuted.
Gov. Hampton postponed the execution
for time to considef the evidence, and
win, no doubt, Ind Thsteyer difference
in crirninality there may be between the
parties, and guide his action by it. IF,
agteS slew bf the Testimony, he can
find gips sp Il ahow that one is moro

GENTLEMEN-In reply to your note of
the 7th, asking my views upon President
Hayes Southern policy, and whether
Democrats should seek or accept Office at
his hands? ] have to say, that some three
weeks ago, in response to like requesl
from my friend Mr.. Wright, Of the Au-
gusta Chronicle and Constifutiondhst, /
said, that in my opinion the highest proof
Mr. Hayes can give of his sincerity to
carry out the policy shadcs-c.: in bis let
ter OF acceptance and inaugurs! address,
will be the appointment Of trusted men
Of character to office, and that l saw no
reason why the names OF Democrats
should not be presented.
was not ple=aed at the delay of Mr.
Hayes az to South Carolina and Louisi-
ana but, on reflection, he has difficult
role to play, and, looking at these aiiict-
ed States from his standpoint, perhaps he
has done as veil as could be expected.
Any how, we are free at last, and God be
praised have never been despondent,
but our deliverance has been delayed
longer than expected.
1t never has been the political teach.
ing in this State to engage in the scram-
BILE for office, nor did VIC, in the old South
Carolina, coun, nance the party cry, "to
the victors belong the spoils." AS We
hav. now rescued the State from the grip
of the political adventures who have
we'll nigh ruined us, feel strong in the
Lope and belief, that the pure constitu
tional theories which made us great ir
the past, will make us greater in the
future. We have never been the slaves
! of party. and our statesmen in Congress,
did not hesitate to oppose OK support @
measure proposed, without regard te
party afiiliation. think that good ole
time way of acting should DO resumed
| and if Mr.. Hayes will adopt the polio,
Of Mr.. Jefferson, and return to constitu
| tional government and practices, h,
should receive generous support from
every representative man and honest citi
zen in the South, without reference Il
the fact that he il Republican Presi
dent.
/ l do not think he can carry out hi
policy with such men as compose thu
Republican party here; the honest mer
in it, heretofore in Office, can be counted
on the fingers of the hand, so he will b'
forced to make most of his appointment
from the Democrats. These should ac
cept places, if offered, and give him gen
erous aid in an honest effort to affect the
reform 20 much needed.
Yours truly,
A. =. ALDRICH.

THE LEGISLATURE ORGANIZED
AND AT WORK.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 25, 1877.
The proceedings of the Senate yester-
day were interesting and important. Ex.
Lieutenant Governor Gleaves surrender
ed his place yesterday after stating his
position. Swails, the pro tenn of the SEN
ate, took the gavel and occupied tho
chair of the presiding officer. The fight
began by Nash moving to require Lieu
tcnant-Covernor Simpson to take the
oath of Office anew. A committee escort.
ed Simpson to the desk, and he made an
explanatory statement, i'll which he de-
clared positively his resolve never to
stultify himself by taking the oath of
Office again. This disconnected the Rad
icals, and finally Simpson gained the
victory over them and occupied the chair,
taking possession Of the gavel. He an
nonnccd the Senate ready for business
when it was announced that Senators
from Abbcvillc, Edgcfeld, Laurcns and
Barnwcll were present and ready to
qualify. The Radicals fought hard to
prevent this, but under Simpsons rulings
they had to succuhb to the inevitable,
and Senators Maxwell, Gary, Todd and
Counts were sworn.
The House met Mt noon yesterday, and
after calling the roll as it stood in De.
ccmbcr last adjourned. This threw con-
stcrnation among the Radicals. Nearly
all Of the Republicans who were elected
members were present and expected to
be sworn in. They will not find easy
access. 1t is rumored that several Sena-
tors will find difficulty in retainin., their
seats in consequence Of holding other
Offices, such as Presidential electors and
others. The Democratic are confident
and jubilant over the situation. They
will stand together solidly and defeat the
schcmes of the enemy. Willard and
MCGOWAN arc the most prominent can
didates for Chief Justice, with the
chances in favor of Willard.
Louisiana is entirely redeemed. Mich.
oils is fs'ly in possession. Judge Spot
ford was elected United States Senator

THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.

The Newberry Herald favors the re-
quirement of poll tax as prerequisite
to suffrage. We are opposed to any re-
atriction to the right to vote except on
account of crime. We believe the man
whose life and liberty, and that of his
family, depends upon the character of the
government under which he lives, ought
to have the right to vote for his rulers.
P's rights are as dear to him as the rights
OF wealthy man are TO him, and should
not be abridged on account of poverty.
The question of any amendment to the
clause of the Constitution, which guar-
antees universal suffrage, should not be
thought of, much less discussed.

Governor Hampton having called the
Legislature together on the 24th instant,
will no doubt rggest suci, sHbifecis foI
legislation as land Immediate attea-
tion. And OIL such, in our judgment,
should engage :. c attention of our legis.
lators at the extra session. In addition
to general tax bill, which, of course, will
claim Immediate attention, tho Legisla-
turo should consider such measures ns,
in their practical operation, will afford
some relief to the people financially.
The pressure upon the agricultural class
of our population hns never before been
equalled in the history of our State.
What with bad government, aud bad
cropping, and bigh taxes, the landed in
terest, iuborer, aud employees, are III d
most deplorable condition. As this is
the leading i..serest Of our people, of
coube any oAtreme pressure there will
be felt throughout the body polite.
Whatever can be done by legislation to
relieve this prostration should be prompt
ly done. The first practical measure that
looms up before the people as promising
direct and immediate relief, is the resto-
ration of the old usury law. And this
law should be searching in its details 80
as To prevent evasion. The present rates
of interest are absolutely ruinous to tho
farming, mechanical and mercantile in
tercsts. All the business interests, not
only of this State, b' Of the whole
country has been brought undeI bondage
TO the monied power of the country by
corrupt legislation, aud since under the
new regime, just inaugurated in this
State, we expect better things, let the ex-
ira session take the initial in this much
much needed refor
There are other matters Of reform which
! should claim the earnest attention of our
Legislature at the next regular session
such as the abrogation Of useless offices
the reduction Of salaries generally, the
reduction of fees and Court costs to al
least reasonable amount. The v ritter
happens to know from sad experience
that in the matter of the collection of G
small debt of about $3.50 dollars, without
any litigation whatever, that the bill Of
costs were simply outrageous. So char
acterized by the lawyer who had the case
in charge. The people expect reform
not in word but in deed and truth. We
think, however, that there should be as
little legislation as possible at the extra
session, leaving all questions in abeyance

poned without dctriment to 10 public
interests. The tax bill should not con.
template any further collections from the
people ut the present time than the
twenty-five Fer cent. called for by the
Constitutional House of Representatives
last winter. Next fall change should
be made by which the people will have
from November till March to pay taxes

THE USURY LAW.

We do not think it prudent for the
present session of the Legislature to act
upon the question of rate of interest !;
for the passage of n usury law, even if it
dated in the future, would occasion
great hardship and loes to the people
who have borrowed money, for, il all
probability, ionns would at once be called
in by capitalists, who would wish to make
Investments in stocks, bonds, &c. Next
fall will be soon enough to agitate this
subject. Then debtors will be able to
make new arrangements if necessary.
They could not do 30 now.
