what the Leading Democratic south
Carolina Paper says.

There Is an apparent air OF confession be-
tween the lines OF these remarks from the
Charleston Is. C.) Neg and Courier that
renders them interesting: "a political
revolution is peacefully accomplished,
The devil was fought with FIRE. Now that
he and his imps have been plunged into
the abyss, there isno more fighting Of that
sort to do. Tho business Of the Legislature
is to conduct public affairs without regard
to the fire that was our weapon, and the
demon who is oyerthrown. Exercise for
bearance Cultivate goodwill! Tighten
the burdens OF the people! Give absolute
security TO the rights and property OF all!
This Is our duty, and It Is likewise our in
terest." And also in these: "fhe Demo-
crats, having won, cannot afford to follow
In the footsteps Of the Radicals, and deny
the people d registration measure that
gives reasonable assurance that fraudulent
voting will not be tolerated or be praCtica-
bio in South Carolina. Poison Is often
times potent remedy. But communities
who make poison their daily bread must
expect to do OF political atrophy. South
Carolina wants wholesome food; toT the
body polite, at last, is healthy and sound"

A new kerosenelamp-burncr that proves
quite taking is being generally introduced,
especially for night use. By the side OF
the common wicktube is a small round
tube which receives a wick made expressly
for it, operated by a separate wheel. This
taper Is kept burning constantly, turned
low down, thus taking little oil, giving
only speck Of light and making no smell.
When the lamp burns the large wick L
turned up as usual. When the light l.
through with this wick is turned down In
TO the tube till it goes entirely out, leaving
the small taper lighted. Upon turning OF
the large wick the small one kindles Il
again instantly.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
How 1. 1. Used In the London Times Com.
poaing Room.

From the LOpdon World.
The state OF expectation in which the
public mind allows itself TO be held with
reference to the so-called "divisibility" oil
the electric light by Mr.. Edison y some
what surprising, seeing that al the time
this divisibility Is tai decompH IN Eng:
land, and may be witnessed and
tested any night of the week at the
Tines printing Office. Armed with
an order for this purpose ! went
there the other evening, and this is
what saw: From gas light We merged
suddenly into what seemed flood OF day
light, which came from six small lamps
placed at intervals round large room, in
which eompOsitors and others were busy
ut work. These lamps were suspended 50
as TO be raised and lowered at will. In
compliance with the wish of one OF the
gentlemen present one Of these lights,
selected at haphazard, was turned out by
means OF y tap, and it remained out with
out the slightest percepdble increase in
the volume OF light in the other. Then
another light at q distance was treated
in similar manner and with q like result.
These two were then relEt by turn OF the
tap the reverse way and turned on full
power Then one was slightly lowered"
so as to give about a third Of It's full Light,
as with ordinary gas. In short, we found
there q useful and agreeable light, which
can be moderated and arranged TO suit all
circumstances. This Is the Rapief light
am no electrician, and shall not attempt
to give technical description OF the appa-
ratus employed, but 1t seemed TO possess
great simplicity. Mr.. Rapief says he can
burn ten lights in one circuit; that his car
bons viii burn for ten hours; that they
can be easily renewed, and without ex-
tinguishing the lights. He further esti-
mates It's comparative cost with gas as less
than a third. His statements may be taken
for what they are worth; but judging from
what actually cav in the Tin.es office,
should say the sooner gas shareholders be-
gin to "hedge" by investing in electric
light shares the better

The Comptroller then argues in favor Of

facts that few people go into that kind OF

the banks derived from the issue OF circu-

asserted, being but about q per centum
more on the capital invested in the bonds
pledged to secure the circulation than could
be obtained by lending directly the same
amount OF capital. In closing, the Comptroll.
er quotes from previous report submitted
BY him, to show that the banks after the
day OF resumption will be called on to
pay their deposits In specie, and that peo-
bic throughout the country now know
that the National bank notes are safe, and

Mob Law.

Our city contemporaries, notably
the Picayune and Bee, indulge in we'll
meant protests against mob law. We
perfectly agree with them III their
structures, but beg to call their at
tention to an evil which must be cured
before we can hope to be entirely rid
of Judge Lynch and his efforts.
Louisiana has suffered for some
years past from too much law and
not enough justice. Known crlm'-
nails have been brought to book,
abundant evidence of their crimes
has been adduced, and they have been
acquitted by the hundreds, or else, if
convicted on first trial, Attorneys
have evaded justice by qui'ks and
ouibbles worthy of the old Bailey.
This has gone on until the mass of
we'll disposed people think that the
whole criminal jurisprudence is a
mockery.
1t was 30 here until our present
Judge came on, and much to the re-
lief of all good people qnibbling was
put down in such manner and, with
such remarks from the learned Judge
that that sort of judicial nonsense is
hardly ever repeated.
One of the criminals hung at Mon
roe by this mob, had evaded sentence
and punishment for crime which it
was proven he committed, on Quib
bic of the yilest sort. This was
sprung in this instance, as in all
others, to gain time, during which to
run off witnesses and suppress evi.
dence.
Mobs are becoming frequent be.
cause the criminal jurisprudence in
this State has been "doctored' until
the chances in favor of a criminal are
ninety-nine in a hundred, and justice
has iu most instances become q BY
word.
When the laws are stripped of the
bristling escapes they present for
criminals, and are so arranged that
the guilty will meet sure punishment,
we may look for less mobs. not be
fore. d.

Constitutional Convention,

The measure Of all others which de-
handed the action of the Convention at
Baton Rouge, was the question OF calling
Constitutional Convention by the next
Legislature, and we are gratiied that
that duty has not been neglected.
We felt assured that the Democracy of
this State would never, by act or deed,
endorse the Bayonet edict of 1868; nor
in any manner sanction a policy which
tended in the remotest degree to give
life and vitality to principles, so utterly
Repayment to American liberty, as those
ennnciated in that Instrument.
The amendments proposed by the last
Legislature, meet, as a natural conse-
quence, condemnation. Their defeat
from the first was a foregone con-
clusion, because, Qst) they failed
to accord that relief demanded; be-
cause, (2d) they sanctioned both the man.
ner Of the adoption Of the Constitution
Of 1868, and the vicious principles enun-
ciated therein, aud because, Gay tho right
to abrogate or alter organic law is a
sovereign prerogative which the people
will never yield to any unauthorized
body.
Let the people stand now in perfect
accord, as they have been from the be-
ginning, and send no man to the Senate
or House Of the General Assembly, who
Is not pledged to CALI Constitutional
