OFFICIAL PRoMoTIoN.-A correspon-
dent Of the Columbia Democrat objects
to the system of making one Office step
ping stone, y promotion, to another.
He wishes 10 have Hampton elected
either as Governor or United States ST..
ator, but not first as one and then an
other: and thinks that the friends of
Hon. W. d. Simpson ahould choose for
him between the Lieutenant Governor
ship aud the position Of Chief Justice.
On general principles the views thus ex-
pressed are very proper. No man should
step into an Office by promotion But in
the present anomalous condition of affairs.
we see no objection TO re-electing Gov.
Hampton, and then electing him to the
United States Senate. And, if it be
known before hand that THE viii 10 the
course pursued, the Convention will
nominate Lieutenant Governor with o
special view to his becoming Governor.
As the Gubernatcrial election comes first
there would be no reason for not renomi-
mating the present Executive. People
would not understand the nomination of
eny one else than Hampton. But after
the election, if me Democracy shall have
retained entire control of the State and
everything is at peace, we see no obieo-
tion to replacing Patterson with Governor
Hampton, and letting the Lientanaat
Governor succeed. We hold, though.
that before the nomination of Lieu.Ansnt
Governor, il should be known whether
Governor Hampton will run for the
Senate or not Winns6oro Ne,cs and

Proposed Improvement Of the Upper
Savannah.

Hon. A. III. Stepheus informs the
Augusta ChroRicie and CdRstituti0natia
that the Committee Of Commerce of the
House, TO whom wan referred his bill for
the improvement of the navigation OF
the Savannah river above Augusta, have
reported provision in their general bill,
not only authorizing but directing the
Secretary of War to have survey Of
the river made with the estimated cost
of the improvement desired, and adding
that he thinks there is very little doubt
that the bill will pass. Commenting on
this important measure, the Chronicle
and Consfitutionaiist says:
"The improvement Of the navigation
of the upper Savannah is an enterprise
that will affect benefcially not only the
city of Augusta but also the planting,
commercial, manufacturing and mining
interests of large and rich section Of
the States Of Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina and Tennessee. BY the
expenditure of very trihing sum of
money, the waters of the upper Savannah
can be speedily rendered navigable from
Augusta to Anderson Cour. House,
South Carolina, and for so.pa distance
beyond. This will give uninterrupted
navigation from the mountains to Savan-
nah and the Atlautic Ocean--a distance
of over four hundred miles. The coun-
try tributary to this great water artery
comprises the connties OF Chatham, Eff
ingham, Scriven. Burke, Richmond, Co.
lumbia, Lincoln, Hart, Franklin, Haber-
sbam and Rabun in Georgia; Beaufort,
Barnwell, Aiken, Edge6eld, Abbeville,
Anderson, Pickcns and Oconee in South
Carolina; and considerable portion of
Western North Carolina and Eastern
Tennessee. Most of this region is cut
off from the outside world and ell of it
would find the shortest, cheapest and best
communication with q market afforded
by the water way Of the Savannah. The
measure is of national importance and
should receive the support of every
member of Congress, no matter from
what section of the Union he may come
who feels an interest in the development
and prosperity of the country.

TIE PENITENTIsRY.

The last Legislature limited tie ap-
preparation for the support of the Peni-
tentiary 10 the sum of twenty thousand
dollars. This hes made it necessary for
the Superintendent to reduce the faro Of
the convicts, and It Is said they are now
placed on diet Of bread and water.
There Ia no doubt that the Penitentiary
system In South Carolina for tae last
eight years has been q very bad one.
The management has not only been at
fault, but unnecessarily expensive. The
Penitentiery has been filled with those
who were too lazy 10 work, and preferred
to steal rather than starve. The vicious
and idle have preferret' the easy time
and substantial fare enjoyed in that in
stitution TO labor in the field, and bcnce
its walls had no fears for them, and ex-
erted on that class of criminals no inhu.
ence TO suppress or restrain the commits
sion Of crime. Things have now, how
ever, changed, and the law-breakers may
be assured that they must suffer the pen.
atty of violated law. The protection of
society demands that our penal institu-
tions should be 80 conducted as TO make
them dreaded by the most vicious in the
State. But why should the Penitentiary
be charge to the State7 There is de-
mand for labor upon the public works of
the State far surprising the ability of
convict labor to meet 1t. This labor can
be made remunerative and conducive to
the interests of the whole State. Let the
convicts be made TO work in building
railroads and on other public works, and
then instead of being q charge to the
State and deriving their support from
the Toll and labor of the honest and in
dustrious, they will be made to contri-
butte to the permanent development of
the material interests of the whole peo-
pie. Hard labor is the punishment
which they most dread, and it is this of
which the country is at present most in
need. Let us utilize this labor, and
make 1t the protection Of society and at
tho sss;io i;iiia ali element of materiai
progress.

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND THE
PAPACY.-For three hundred years it
has been the dream of tie Papacy to
win back England to her old allegiance
to the Roman Catholic Church. To at
tain this result her prelatcs have unceas-
ingly preached, prayed and intrigued,
and we may be certain that the agencies,
human and spiritual, of the Church are
as actively at work in this direction to-
day as they were when the second James
was King. The special cable dispatches
from Paris which we print this morning
have probably very little foundation in
fact so far as q large portion of the Church
of England is concerned, but it is by no
means certain we are not on the eve of
another accession to the Church of Rome
similar to the famous Oxford movement
thirty-five years ago. An exodus of the
leading diyines and members of the
Church of England to the Church of
Rome, such as is contemplated by the
confidential friend Of the Vatican, would
be the most important event in religious
history since the Reformation. II would,
of course mean the cid of Professionalism
in England, the probable change of the
British constitution, and-who can tell ?
the accession of His Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales, whsn his Toya,, roy II,
mother shall have died, as the first
Catholic King of England since the ex-
pulsion Of the last of the Stuarts.-N. Y.

gress to be reimbursed for school property
destroyed by the United States Army
during the wal. This institution was
not political, nor was it even public prop
erty, and hence no excuse can be given
1oT the wanton destruction of its property.
1t cannot be justified by any of the Laws
and usages of civilized warfare, and the
honor of the nation requires that it should
repair the injury inflicted by the armies
OF our nation upon this property; and
yet upon question Of this kind the Re-
publicans in Congress seek, like set of
hungry yultures, to unearth the buried
CARCASS of what they are pleased to term
the rebellion, in order TO fan anew the
almost forgotten flame of sectional hate.
In this disreputable course Mr.. Martin J.
Townsend, q Republican of New York,
had the honor (?) of leadiDg the Repub-
licans. His speech was characterized by
stale attempt at initiating B. F. Butler,
with all Of his malice and hate, but lack
Ing in the mental capacity of the Beast
These vindictive sectional abuses have
satiaed the American mind long ago,
aud now produce supreme disgust. The
South has grown accustomed to them,
and the North is heartily tired of them
They injure the speaker more than the
people they are spoken against.

Sultan conferred on him the order of the
Osmanli, frst-class, with star in brillients,
presenting him. at the same time, with an
ancient sword which had belonged to
Sultan Hamid I. The words "To the
Ghazi" were engraved on the sabre, and
his Majesty remarked thai the precious
sword belonged by right to the defender
OF Plevna. AS soon as Osman left the
Palace the crowd, as correspondent of
the London Globe describes the scene.
threw tselfupon his carriage, with shouts
of "Long life to the Ghazi." The en-
thusi Ism at this moment was inte nse.
Old men, who we're not strong enough
to FL Iht to the carriage, implored "Allah"
to bless the man who had saved their
National honor. Women lifted their
children in their arms to look mron their
country's savior Curirrsly enough, in
the same building wh.. Osman was re-
ceiving an ovation there lay as prisoner
his colleague Suleiman.

On q requisition by Governor Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina, ex.Goy-
ernor Franklin j. Moses, OF the same
State, was arrested on charge Of forgery
about fortnight since, but on an appli-
cation for writ of haLeas corpus stay
was obtained. The application for the
writ, however, was withdrawn on Wed.
nesday and the prisoner surrendered to
Detective Commons for removal to South
Carolina. 1t will be remembered that
Col. Chas. S. Spencer was retained TO
oppose the removal of the prisoner, and
quite fight was made in the courts
During the time that these proceedings
were pending eN Governor Moses was q
prisoner at tls Police Central Office
Connors, the officer who held the warrant
durilg the same time, lived in the St.
Denis Hotel. On Wednesday evening
Central Office detectives saw Moses walk
ing on Fifth avenue with g woman and
without any official company. Connors
spent Wednesday night alone in the st.
Denis Hotel. Moses reported ut the
hotel yesterday morning, and was seen
frequently during the day in company
with Connors. After dinner the two leit
the hotel, and had not returned up to a
late nOuf last night. II they had left for
Charleston, neither the hotel register
showed it nor did the clerks know any
thing Of It. 1t is veil known that for
weeks before the warrant for forgery had
reached this city Moses had been a fire..
quent borrower froin former Ring confed-
crates of almost any sum from fifty cents
to two dollars. 1t is said that even the
abandoned woman, who was his compan-
ion during the early part of his sojourn
here, left him. Nevertheless, his Re 1oval
for trial upon the forgery Indictment was
fought as tenaciously az though he had
been we'll provided with funds.
~ never thought they intended to take
him back" said Superintendent Walling
last evening. When pressed for his rea.
SONS, Mr.. Walling refused to account for
the faith that was in him. The Central
Office detectives who have been interested
in the case have no hesitation in affirm.

intended against the ex- Governor was to
make him give up certain papers pos
sessed by him but whether they would

On Friday last while q party of rove

portion of Greenville County after illicit
distillers in the vicinity of Hog Back
Mountain, 5ssaT tho North Carolina iiue,
Rufus III. Springs, Q notorious revenue
character. was ahot by o person in am.
bush and instantly killed. The party
had captured still and was hunting for
the men when Springs, who was separa-
ted iiToIn tiiuni, VITA shot by bali which
ceme from ono of the mountain peaks
above him. He was dead when found
by hia companions. No clue has been
obtained az 20 the perpetrator of this
deed. Assassination is great crime,
end shosild not be Gounteaanced in any
civilized land. That the people of the
mountain districts have had great provo
cation at the hands Of revenue ofticers,
and have been subjected to very great
oppresaionb, there Ia no doubt, but this
does not justify che violation Of Lev by
them, and the killing Of. springs cannot
in any manner help any person. It will
only bring new trouble upon them.

On last Friday the career of Robert
McEvoy was ended upon earth forever
by death upon the gallows. The Su.
preme Court overniled all his efforts to
secure new trial, and Gov. Hampton
declined to interfere with the sentence of
the law; and thus, after nearly two years,
he has atoned to the State for the murder
of Col. Gregg at Graniteville, and paid
tho highest price that human laws can
exact-his life. Poor McEvoyl No one
can read Of his execution In the very
morning of his manhood without re-
gret that his own conduct has forfeited
what might, .f properly directed, have
been q useful life to his State and his
fellow-men; but at the Same time The
common verdict must be that his doom,
though severe, was just. He has given
his life for the one he took, and it should
be strong forewarning to men like him
self to stay their murderous hands.

- The Eastern States do not feel q
material improvement yet in business,
but "out West" there are numerous signs
of a return of prosperity. Good crops
aud good prices have put the farmers in
condition to pay off debts and leave
something over for the purchase of lux
uries, such as they have denied them
selves during the hard times. The prices
of Western land are advancing under the
new impulse and the more hopeful pros
poets, and at the same time decided in
crease in the emigration West is noticed.
This 10 partly made of foreign arrivals
and of emigrants from the Eastern States.
The activity in Western railroad mining
and other stocks is Indicative of the turn
of the tide from the low water depression.
The East must ultimately feel the bene-
fit of the Western buoyancy and find o
sale for its goods and manufactures.

- The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes
interviews between one of. its representa-
hves and Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks. of
Indiana, and Hon. Williaia Eaton, of
Kansas, o member Of the Democratic
National Executive Committe, in which
the latter is credited with making some
surprising statements in regard to the
conduct of the last Presidential campaign
and Mr.. Tilden's expenditures therein.
The purport uf this statement is that IN
agent of Mr. Tilden. nnmed Finley rie;-
ted the West in 1876, and that his line
of argument was that Mr.. Tilden was
worth $1,000, 900, and Of this he was will.
ing to spend $2,000,000 in the campaign,
provided he was nominated for President.
SIR. Eaton Is further credited with saying
that Mr.. Tilden did actually contributed
$500, 900 in all fol q - alaign purposes.

recommending o reduction Of the tax on
tobacco to siztsen cents per pound, and
also to report in favor of the income tax,
fixing uniform rate of two per centum
