THE GEORGIA DEBT.

The action of the Georgia Constitu-
tional Convention upon the State debt
question has been very much misrepre-
sented. The Convention recognized the
settlement of the debt az made by the
Legislature, except that 1t declared the
endorsement of the State on certain rail-
road bonds invalid, hscause it was made
by the Bullock govssa ment without the
State receiving one cant for L, and zas
really about such o debt az the Blue
Ridge Railroad scrip. but without even
as much justice as q part Of that had.
The holders of these bends have no cause
TO complain, for their debt Is as good as
1t was before the State endorsed it and as
they paid nothing for the States O. aorse-
entthey have lost nothing. Neither have
the repudihticnista any right TO point TO
Georgia as an example, for she has repu-
diatea no jnek debt. She has dde,::..s OK.

fraudulent debt, attempted to be i'm

REDuCra0N IN FtaEfuITs.

We have assufaMces from Messrs. +.
W. Wasehef II Co., of Charleston, who
have been foremost Of the Charleston
merchants, in advocacy of O reduction of
freights to the interior Of the State, that
their efforts have been successful, and
that in few days they will be able to
furnish us with all the particulars az to
classification, rates, &c.
The Journal Of Cbmmsrrr, Of the 2Sth
inst, publishes what purports to be the
long promised reduction, Of which the
following rates for sixth class freights Is
a synopsis of the charges from Charles.
ton: From Ninety.six TO Golden Grove,
inclusive, 20 cents, instead of so cents.
From Pendleton TO Wnlhalla, inclu.
sive, 45 cents, instead of so cents.
This schedule does not give the rate to
Greenville nor TO Anderson, and hence
we are at loss to know to vhat extent
the change has been made. The old
rate of freight TO Greenville was 80 cents
from Charleston, for sixtn class goods,
and If the South Carolina Railroad ex.
poets to leave this rate TO Greenyille, and
yet have Anderson and other nearer
points satiafed by lowering their freights
five or ten cents, 80 as to leave them for.
" or forty-fve cents, where Greenville,
further off poin: "a only thirty cents,
they make q great mistake. 1t would
still be an unjust oppression of which
Our merchants would complain. There
must be some mistake about the reduc-
tion rs published, or it virtually amounts
to nothing.
When we receive the full rates as
promised by Messrs. Wagner & Co., we
hope to announce that they are perfectly
satisfactory, and that all the complaint
upon the part of our people against the
Railroad Company has ceased. And
here We would take occasion to urge our
merchants, if rate of freights is adop.
ted which will permit, to transfer rs
much of their trade as possible, from
Northern and Western cities TO Charles.
ton. It is our city--the metropolis Of
our State, and every Carolinian is in duty
bound to lend all the aid he possibly can
consistently with his own interests to
building up and developing this city.
Our money should be spent in it when
we can do as we'll, or when We can ap-
proxima.e rs we'll as we can do in other
cities. We would like to see the entire
trade Of the State transferred to Charles
ton, and are satisfied it could in large
measure he aono ;e tho TaiiToadis would
lower freights, and the Charleston mer.
chants would make greater efforts to Sc
cure this trade.

IN mon
Terrible Tragedy In GEORGETOWN.

cutting affray occurred last Friday
evening, at Ccder Creek, near Eatman's
store, in Georgetown county, which for
fiendish cruelty and cold blooded brutal
ity has no precedent in our hitherto
peaceful county.
1t appears that j. B. Eatman had sew
eral hands working the road and among
them were two hrnthera. Henry and Geds-
den Rowell. In the evening the hands
repaired to Mr.. Eatman's store. After
taking two or three drinks, Gadsdon
Rowell approached Samuel J. Cooper,
threw his arms around him, pinioning
his arm to his side, and commenced to
tusscl in n playful manner. No sooner
had their unsuspecting victim been se-
cured than the other brother drew his
knife and coolly commenced to stab Mr..
Cooper. He first planted his weapon in
his shoulder, laying his arrr open down
to the elbow. BY this time Mr. Cooper
Who was muscular man, had been felled
to tho enfth by pole in the hands of
Gadsden Rowell. Henry then cut c ter
Tible cash across his victims abdomen.
Then he stabbed the unfortunate man in
his face, the knife entering about an inch
he!og the leh eye, and after ono or two
more stabs delivered in the side, the
would be murderers left their victim for
dead, bleeding from sixteen wounds. We
b!nsh to say that the bystanders, fifteen
in number, ignominiously took to their
heels. One cOlcred men-all honor to
hinl-tTieti 10 tiissuade the Villains from
their hellish work, but finding himself
unsupported, was obliged to follow the
example of his cowardly associates.
As soon as Mr.. Cooper became con-
scious and realized his condition, he re-
quested that neither his would-be MUIR
derers should De harmed, stating as Il
reasun that, if he recovered from his
critical condition, that he would right
his own wrongs, and that in case OF his
death, he wished the brace of scoundrels
to remain in the community, in order
that they might serve the cowardly fifteen
who had ignominiously taken to flight,
leaving him to his fate, in the same
manner.-Ne,cs and Comet.

THE PENITENTlARY.

Since Governor Hampton has been in
office the worIaof parloning convicts has
not been prosperous one. Very few
mon sent to the Peniten,iery by the
courts get pardon from our Governor;
and hence, the criminals finding that
means OF escape unavailing, have be.
come more active in endeavoring to es.
cape by their own efforts, and during the
past few months several have managed
to elude the guards and get away. Some
of these have been of the worst type of
criminals, as In tho case of two Of those
recently sent from Darlington County
for burglary and grand larceny. This
he's heen sco f.squs.. and shows bad
management on the part of the Superin-
tendant. If his guards are not efficient
he should change them. and if he does
not do 30 then tho public have the right
TO lodge complaint against him. For our
part we have heretofore expressed The
opinion, that it is mistake on the part
Of Governor Hampton TO retain Col.
Parmellee, aa Superintendent. He is
one of tho Republican hoard who came
from the North to South Carolina to oh.
tain Office under Republicanism, and
many Of our people remember the
tannting and slanderous articles which
appeared in the Union Herald, from his
pen during the Chamberlain. Greene can.
vass. It was as reward for these arti-
cles that he was made Superintendent of
the Penitentiary by Ex-Governor Cham
berlain, and he remained true to the ex-
Governor until 1t was evident his star was
wrNing forever, and then with the tact of
shrewd yankee, Col. Pamellee enlisted
unde- another Gag. He received and
spent the extrsvagant appropriation made
for the Penitentiary under Gov. Cham
berlain, and is therefore no fit exponent
of our idea Of reform. He either used
more money under Chamberlain than
was necessary, or he is not o sufficiently
economical manager to get along with
the institution under Democratic appro-
priations. In either case he should DO
dismissed. IAgain he Is occupying q
place from which Democrat was dis.
missed on account Of his political opiu.
:ss.s, and NC think Tho Governor owes it
to the party which elected him to restore
to Office every Democrat who was dis
missed by Republican Governors on &C.
count cf their political opinions. We
hope change will soon be made in this
office

DIVORCE LAW.

The recent Constitutional Convention
of Georgia took step In the right direc.
tion whom IL attempted &c .-=:rict the
growing practice of granting matrimonial
divorces upon slight pretexts, and al.
though the provisicns of It's nev consti-
tuition arc still too lax, yet reform in
the divorce system Of that State is likely
to be effected. The present constitution
al law stands thus:
SECTION XV.-Paragraph /. No total
divorce shall be granted except ON the
concurrent verdicts Of two juries, Mt diff
ferent terms Of the court.
Par. 2. When divorce il granted, the
jury rendering the final verdict shall de.
termine the rights aud disabilities of the
parties.
The defect about this as constitution
al provision is, that it leaves too much
discretion in the hands of the Legislature,
who may enact dozen causes for which
divorces may be granted, but we think
the idea involved in the above provision
is a good one, and might very proftably
be engrafted into our State Constitution
with great public advantage Loose di-
vorce laws are the greatest curse coun-
Try can be afliictad with, and while our
laws upon this subject are not 80 lax as
some of the Western and Northern States,
yet they are entirely too much of an ap-
proximatiOn TO them. The right Of d.
vorce on the ground of desertion should
be repealed, and then no divorce should
be granted except upon the concurrent
verdicts of two juries at successive terms
of the Court. AS our land now stands, a
husband and wife who may become dis
satisfied may separate for the term Of two
years, and then obtain decree of sepa-
ration upon such terms US will enable
both of them TO marry again. Such leg
islation az this should be corrected as soon
as possible, for it is contrary to the scrip
tural provisions rclativ to marriage, and
is calculated to produce degeneracy of
public morals. The rights Of the courts
to interfere in the marriage contract
should be strictly limited to accord with
the Biblical provisions. This change in
our old laws was made by the political
miscreants who tiocked to South Carolina
just after the war from those States which
have such laws, and our law makers owe
it to themselves and to the purity of the
moral character of our people to repeal
this statute which places the will Of man
above the mandates Of the Divine Law
giver. We may Look the world over and
in every country which mas loose divorce
laws we will find profigatc and i'm
moral people. Then let us correct the
evil in South Carolina while it is yet

OUR GRANGE COLUMN.
Under the Supervision OF tfe Executive
Committee OF Pomona Grange.

This week we complete the list of sub
ordinate Oranges who pay up promptly.
The following additional Oranges are
square on the books" to June 3Oth,
1877. viz: No. 176, 2l2, 266.
We have purposely delayed publish
ing the list Of delinquents in order to
allow them all the time we could to
arrange themselves in line. But we have
been disappointed, and here is the rcll
Of delinquents: Delinquent for one quor-
ter, No. II; delinquent for two quart, Is,
Nos. 154, 1856, 2S5, 800; delinquent for
three quarters, No. ZIG; delinquent for
five quarters, No. 2l3; delinquent for
six quarters, No. 26S, 294, 34S.
Now, brethren, are these delinquent
Oranges to continue in this dormant
state. We know that the materials of
which most Oranges are composed in our
country do not deserve to be character
lied as dormants. And we know just as
we'll that there are good, active, Jealous
men and women in each one of these
Oranges, who, with we'll directed effort,
could give life to these "dry bones," and
before the close of another quarter ap-
pear before the Oranges of this County
on q higher roll. Will not some one.
two or three members of these Oranges
arouse themselves and make an effort to
revive and reanimate the drowsy breth-
rem. 1t is only necessary that life and
activity shall be shown by few, and it
will extend to Others like electricity. Or
if there is not one man in any one of
these Oranges who will go forward to the
rescue, surely the female members do
not forget that the order is devoted to
them and their offspring, and their hopes
of future prosperity is concentrated in the
success of the Grange movement. Let
one woman in each of these Oranges
make one earnest effort to revive and re-
animate, and she will very soon have the
pleasure of seeing other kindred spirits
iocking to her assistance. If she fails
to arouse the dormant lords, then let her
request meeting of the Grange on q
certain day, and notify the Master of Po-
n:on= Grange, and she will sand help IL.
