Hiding @ Misshapen Son from His Birth
Until He Is Twenty Seven.
Ffom the Cincinnati Commercial, Jtmua'y 10.
One of the most remarkable in
stances on record Of parental devo-
ton and Of success in keeping So
cret a family atlliction may be found
in the family of citizen who is
keeping a drinking saloon in tho
western part of the city. Twenty :
seven years ago ho kept a house on
Western row. About that limo Il
number of houses in the vicinity
werc destroyed by fire in the night,
including his residence. His wife,
in q delicate condition, suffered
much from fright, and consequently
gave birth to monstrosity-an off.
spring without any Of tho better
senses Of living creature, except
that Of sight without toes or fin
gers deaf, specchless, without tho
least spark of intellect or instinct.
Twenty seven years have PASSED,
and the family have kept this crca-
ture in the household, secretod in q
room, and only a few Of the ncigh-
bors besides, who are on the most
intimate relations, have known Of
its existence. Tt eats when food is
placed in it's mouth, and is kept in
Il cleanly condition by the NEST con-
stant care. Tits about three feet
in length. 1t crawls about some,
but moves with great difficulty
That such q creature has lived so
long is singular. That q family,
instead Of fplacing it in some asylum,
has endured it's presence in their
midst, and nurtured it in aseiduous
privacy through all Of these years is
q strange and affecting incident Of
patcrnal devotion.

moro than two years. The selec-
ton Of Il judge Of tho first circuit is
of almost rs much interest to tho
people of Fairfield as tho election
Of judge of tho sixth circuit, and
any position wo take is for tho good
Of whole State. Let tho Legisla-
ture calmly think over this mattor.
Wo aro glad to SEQ that tho Senate
refused to rush precipitately into
an election. 1t would be better to
postpone the whole matter till next
fall anyhow. The counties arc poor,
and as the doclSets have been pretty
well cleared up, they can wait till
fall for the next terms of court.
1t may be a matter of concern to
the members of the Legislature who
pressed this question on the courts,
to feel that they are in d gravo
dilemma. However they decide,
they will raise n row at homo, for
public opinion, everywhere, is very
much divided. We had q heavy
enough load to carry next fall any
how, without shouldering this ad-
ditional burden.

CASES OF MISTAKEN IDENr1ry.-Mis-
taken identity is fruitful thome in
the hands Of the novelist, and here
are three cases from New York,
which may aid in the production of
the ever approaching American
novel. A son identified body at
the morgue rs that of his father,
who, however made his appearance
after the coroner's inquest had beon
hold, and as prisoner, was on the
eve Of being tried for his taking off.
In another case tho father of family
was met on the street by one of his
children while his supposed remains
were awaiting burial at his residence.
In the courts another curious case
came up the other day. The ac-
ousod was, fortunately, able to prove
he was not the criminal but "some
other fellow" and so saved himself
from the penitentiary.

The Field ua,0 Efresitle pro-,
nounces General LeDuc's attempt
to introduce toa culture in the
South an absurdity. It admits the
certainty that the tea plant will
flourish in this latitude, but the
obstacle is the cost of labor to pre-.
pare the leaves. Cinnamon perform

THE ST'4TE LEGISL1TURE
WEDNESDAY, February 6, 1873.
SENATE.

The general orders were taken up,
and tho bill to repeal an act to pro
vide for tho establishment of q
school IN tho State penitentiary
passed it's second reading also, the
bill to amend the act to enforce the
payment of the poll tax.
The bill to regulate tho sale of
guano and other fertilizers came up
next and evoked considerable debate
The bill was post .,oned till Febru-
ary 8.
The election Of judges was post
poned till Tuesday, February II.
The general orders wore resumed,
and the following passed second
reading: Bill to provont the de-.
struction of birds nests to give
the circuit courts concurrent juris-
diction with any of tho courts in
trials of cases Of larceny to regu-
late the manner Of conducting capi-
tai punishment; to provide for the
registry Of claims against the sever
al counties and to pros cribe the
order Of payment.
Adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Mr.. Hamilton introduced the
following concurrent resolution
Whereas, it is highly essential and
indispensably necessary to good
government that tho judiciary bo
elevated to the highest standard of
integrity and purity, and the judi
ciary of South Carolida be protect
cd and maintained unsullicd, there
fore be it
Resolved, That in the election for
circuit judges the General Assembly
hereby stand firmly pledged to elect
none but able, worthy and experts
enced jurists to fill tho vacancies
occasioned by the recent decision of
the Supreme Court.
MIR. Simpson moved that the
| resolution be laid on tho table.
The yeas and nays were demanded
and the vote stood-yoas, 81 nays,
as.
Tho bill in relation to TIE reduc
ton of the salarios Of circ,,;, Judges
next came up for it's third reading.
A motion was made to recommit
the bill to the judiciary committee.
Mr.. J. j. Hemphill objected to
this. He said now was tho very best
time to reduce the judges salaries !;
that there was no sense or consis~
tency in sending the bill back to the
committee.
MIR. Haskell was opposed to the
bill. He said it was an unwiso act
on the part of the House to reduce
the salaries that it was both un-
just and inconsistent, inasmuch as
the mombcrs had refused to reduce
their own pay.
The bill was finally passed and
sent the Senate.
The bill to make appropriations to
meet the ordinary expenses of tho
State government for the fiscal year
commencing November 1, 1877,
was passed to third reading.

The Judicial Muddle.

In the muddlo attendant upon
the judicial election, 1t is just as
we'll to state plainly the position
occupied by The News AND HERALD.
This paper always maintained that
the viva voce mode Of voting was
the simplest solution of the con-
stitutional question both from a
legal and political standpoint,
especially the latter; and it had
little idea that tho Supreme Court
would decide otherwise. For this
reason it was one of those papers,
according to the Columbia Register,
that pronounced nnwiso the springs
ing Of the question only after a
decision had been rendered. Had
tho question not been pressed, or
had tho decision been different, tho
people would have boon much better
satisfied than they now are.
The dilemma now existing arises
from tho circumstance that judges
are elected for full, instead of an
unoxpired, term, and the successful
aspirants at this election will hold
for four years longer. Wore it
merely question of filing m un-
expired term, this paper would
unhositatingly urge tho re- election
Of oil the oustod judges except one
or two, so that they might servo
their full term. It would also
press this measure now, if tho late
incumbents would agree, if re-
elected, to submit their claims again
to the Legislature ut the end of
four years from the date of their
first election. If at the expiration
Of that time they were found to be
acceptable they might be reelected
again. But tho election for q full
term causes us to look to the futuro
instead of tho past. It is matter
OF regret that there have beon,
already, SO many Judicial elections,
In the feverod condition of the
people. The improvements mado
have been Immense but the trouble
is that the people now find it hard
to separate judicial fitness from
political services. Countless ave-
nues of political prefcrment lie
open, without bestowing the judicial
ermine as a reward for patriotic
services by either Democrats or Re
publicans. A Judge is about the
only citizen who should know no
politics. Even, however, when
political services are taken int o
account, the paramount question is
fitness for tho offico. If this
requisite bo wanting all other
claims are unworthy Of considera-
ton. This question Of fitness is a
matter for tho Legislature to
decide, If any one is elected on
this SCORE, no elamor can be raised !;
but If merely political services are
given as q reason, then tho Legis-
lature is dispensing judgeships as
spoils.
Since the re- establishment of the
practice Of rotation Of circuits, it is
matter OF small local concern to
any circuit what Judge is elected
from it, as each Judge holds, court
in each county only at intervals Of
