The State Convention.

The State Democratic Executive
Committee has called the State
Convention to meet in Columbia on
Thursday, the 1st of August. This
will give three months for the
regular State campaign, much
longer than is necessary. The time
is fixed thus early to crafty the
wishes of those who desire Il long
campaign. In our opinion the 1st
of September would have been early
enough. The difference, however,
is not important. County officials
and Legislators can be nominated
later.

The Election for Sheriff and County
Commissioners.

At the general election this fall
the people of Fairfield, besides
voting for State officers and Con-
gressman, will elect three members
of the House, probate judge, a
school commissioner and coroner,
these offices becoming vacant this
year. Owing to the inscrutable
wisdom or excessive stupidity of the
constitutional convention in fixing
the tenure Of Office, it so happens
that the torn of the sheriff and
the county commissioners will not
expire until the summer of 1879,
and that of the clerk in 1881; SO
that if elections be held at tho time
vacancies occur, the people Of
Fairfield will be required to under
60 the excitement and demoraliza-
ton of n campaign every year, until
the constitution is amended: This
would be great annoyance to- tho
people, and IN actual injury to. tho
material interests of the county.
As every good citizen should take
N active interest in all political
questions for the present, it is
essential that these questions be
resented as seldom as possible.
,nce in two years is enough to call
.he voters out. In this con.
ition Of affairs, it seems that much

biennial general elections, and

immediately ponding, but also
those that will occur within q
twelve-month. No earthly cause
prevents the election, by
the people Of Fairfield, of q
sheriff and of three county
commissioners this fall who shall
assume their dutie., in August OF
September, 1879. No law exists
compelling OH election within a
month or two of the expiration of a
torn. It is better, Of course, as
general rule, to observe this prac~.
tice, in order to got officials fresh
from tho people; but this reason
has not straw's weight in COM
parison with the throwing Of q
county into q political turmoil. In
the case of congressman it usually
happens that q ,nember does not
assume the duties Of his Office for
more than year after his election.
Why should not sheriff or county
commissioner also possess his so ul

The good people of Fairfield are
bound to undergo considerable
electioneoring this fail. Why shall
they not take the inhiction in q

shake hundred candidates by the
hand as fifty. Besides, tho opening
up of four new Offices to be filed,
would diminish the pressure at

than there are vacancies.
For al these reasons it seems
oxpedient that the. people shall
make q wholesale business, and fill
oil the Offices at once, so they may
be unmolosted till tho grand contest
of 1880. The NEWS AND HERALD has
no axe to grind, and this measure
is advocated with no occult design.
But it does believe it a matter Of
importance to save the people, in
their impoverished condition, from
all unnecessary worry and dis
traction from business. The matter
rests with the proper authority
whether to call an extra election or
not. The people should decide one
way or the other, as. their wishes in
the premises will be gratified,

of the State in it's relation to civih-

picted the triumph and develop
ment of moral order in human
history from the earliest time to
the present, and especially the part
South Carolina has borne. Mr..

THE NEVADA INSANE ASYLUM.

The Austin Reveille is agitating the
question of providing for the treatment
of insane patients at home instead of
sending them to California. At present
the patients are farmed out to Messrs.
usngdon q Clark, of Woodbridge,
California, who have contracted with
the State of Nevada to take care of
them at stated price per head. The
Reveille contends that the asylum is
merely place of safe keeping. where
the unfortunate inmates receive no
medical treatment, and where no effort
is made to cure them.
Facts indicate that the opinion of the
keveille is correct. We occasionally
hear of patients being discharged as
cured from Stockton and other insane
asylums, but we have yet to hear Of q
cure being effected at Woodbridge,
though probably few have been dis
charged from that asylum. Under the
terms of the contract, Drs. Langdon &
Clark receive stated price for
keeping the patients, and as that price
is remuneratiye. the greater the num-
Der OF patients the larger the profits.
There is nothing to be gained by curing
patients, and as the institution is run
AS business speculation, the interest
OF its owners are not advanced by re-
ducing the number of patients, conse-
quently few. if any, are discharged as
cured. The cost to the State Of
Nevada of maintaining this asylum, is
about $40. 900 per annnm, and not one
dollar of this amount is expended in
the State. If. as is alleged and facts
seem to prove the truth of the allega-
ton. no effort is made to cure the dis
eased minds of patients. they might
Just as well be consigned to the State
Prison as sent to Woodbridge.
Certain newspapers in the State tell
their readers that there is more money
III the Treasury than there is any par
hcular use for. If such is the fact,
would it not be advisable at the earli-
est possible moment to expend part
Of it in providing home asylum for
the insane, andS expend the $40, 600,
now sent out the State for good, among
tue farmers, who raise beef, grain and
vegetables and pay taxes in Nevada.
Supposing politicians legislate for the
interests of the State next winter, and
expend the surplus, which, we are told
will remain in the State Treasury if the
bullion tax is not reduced. in building
State Lunatic Asylum. and providing
sae best medical treatment for. the
insane.
