SEND THE BEST MEN,

1t was decided hit made by Governor
Hampton, in his speech ut Anderson, when
he told the people Of South Carolina to pick
out their best men and send them to the
LeSiSlature-maket them go into the service
OF the State. He was giving advice which
has since found lodgmens in every nook
aud corner of the State, aud if we read the
signs of the times Alright the people are
preparing to act upon the suggestion by de-
manding the services Of the very best men

fradght with danger'.o the best interests Of
the people. A man whose nomination
merely fills gap created by supposed polit-
icai necessities does not. as general rule,
come up to the standard of fitness in other
respects. He is governed too much in his
conduct by reference to the expcdient which
caused him to rise to the surface, and in
deciding questions of the utmost concern
to the State, when independence and self.
reliance ought to govern, he is too apt to
guase his conduct by the supposed popu.

In reference to the locality of candidates,
1t has grown to be the custom in some
counties to make up ticket composed Of
men selected for their geographical location
"a custom which would oftimes be more
honored in the breach than the observance

the State. Indeed, beyond the mere local
legislation which is required for the several
counties, the members are representatives
of tho State in the truest sense. Thev are
to make laws which operate with equal
force upon every citizen, and in dischars-
ing this high trust no conscientious man
will undervalue the rights aud privileges of
all sections of the State. It doubtless
serves good purpose to distribute the re-.
sponsibillties of tlse- local officers, such as
County Commissioners, for instance. where

qualified oy reason of their abilities and
character for the position. They are equally
familiar with every portion of their coun.'
ties, or else they arc fully capable of ascer-
tanning its peculiar needs without residing
in any special locality.
Then, again, man. s occupation does not
give him any claim upon the position
There arc scores Of lawyers who are unfit
to make laws, because the prerequisites of
a we'll balanced mind, independence of
thought and just equipoise in action, are,
sadly wanting in some of the leeai .frater-
nifty. But the mers,fact that one issa law.
yer cannot be held against any man who is
otherwise worthy Of election. In truth,
the prejudice against sending lawyers is a
lamentablo misfortune to the State. The
crude and hasty legislation of the past two
years might have been largely avoided, if
there had been n more liberal distribution
of the legal fraternity who were cognizant
Of the laws in force already. A few men,
no matter how we'll versed in EteisssStdfsss
sion, could no: inspect every measure ctitfs
cally as it passed through the ordinary
course Of legislation. 1t requires c.refui-
ness to great degree in the most ordinary
situation of affairs, and when Legislature
is confronted with the most difficult prob.
lens growing out of an anomalous condition
of society, as was the case with the last
Legislature, it does require wisdom and ex.
perience to steer clear of blunders and mis-
takes. The wonder is that so few were
committed.
In our judgment, then, it is folly to Sc
leet members Of the Legislature by reason
Of their occupation or residence, aud far
more damaging to choose them for their
availability on the grounds of expediency.
1t is the best men that are wanted to deal
with the intricate questions before the next
Legislature. The men who arc best adap>
ted to the work before them, because of
their training, industry and devotion to
the State. Mon Of brains aud character,
with the will and determination to do
what is right, regardless of the effect it

The work Of rehabilitation is not complete
Much has been done in short time, but
vastly more remains to be accomplished

or unemployed. It should be composed oi
