HOW THE LAWS ARE EXECUTED.

Our advices from South Carolina lead to
the opinion that the United States District
Attorney for that State does not enthuse
over the enforcement Of the laws and that
little eau be hoped from any proceedings
instituted to punish fraud and outrage per-
pctrated during the late election in that
State. We understand that the District
Attorney is now apologizing to the law
breakers by publicly announcing that he is
not responsible for the prosecution of the
election cases. but that MACKEY is the man
who is doing all Of it, and he is left to man
age them. 1t is said also that Judge
BRYAN does not hesitate to say on the
bench that he thinks these prosecutions are
all wrong and in accordance with that view
he issues orders to pay all witnesses for the
defense in all cases that come up, although
in every county where men have been
prosecuted, subscriptions have been made
and collected TO deiray the expense of theil
defense All this looks as il the violation
Of law is being protected in South Carolina

IN 1s67-'6S BEN HILL was applicant for
admission to membership in the Republican
party in Georgia-that is to say, he wanted
to join with FOSTER BLoDGETT, X. b. Bull.
LOCK, and BENZ. CoSLEY, of that State,
in the manipulations which preceded the
organization Of the party in that State un.
der the Reconstruction acts. BULLOCK and
CoSLEy black-balled him and refused to
admit him into their councils BLoDGEr1
was his friend, however, and to compensate
him for his disappointment employed him
to be an attorney for the Georgia Stat,
Railroad when that rich property was leased
by authority Of the BULLOCK (so-called,
Legislature. In this capacity Of attorney
HILL is supposed-by the marines--to have
done everything In his power to prevent the
detested carpet-baggers from swindling the
State. Somehow or another, however, ht
got hold Of enough money to secure his
election to the Senate Of the United States
where lie now sits, with the ghost of pool

Congress, constantly staring over his shoul

OLD ISSUES,

General GARFIELD, who is accredited
with more than ordinary shrcwdness in
politics as well as business, took occasion
on Tuesday to remark on the floor OF the
House that "thc man who attempts TO get
up political excitement in this country
" on the old sectional issues will find him
" self without party and without support"
The New York World seizes upon this re-
mark and turns 1t against the effort Of
Senator BLAINE, which it characterizes as
ian attempt TO stir up strife without as
much as II dead negro in any Southern
State to start from This is the inter
pretation and application that is made by
the Democrats of General GARFIELD's re-
marks; but we do not so interpret it, lie
evidently intended to be understood MS ad-
mOnishng the Democratic party that If
they attempted to revive and push upon
the country the issues that led to the re-
bellion they would find themselves without
following This is undoubtedly what
General GARFIELD meant TO be understood
by his remarks, and the veritication of its
correctness will come us often ms the Demo-
Gratis attempt TO push upon the country a
revival OF the spirit and policy that pre-
cedcd the rebellion and which has broken
out afresh in the South since peace was de-
Clared.
| That General GARFIELD did not refer TO
the Republican party and its position and
policy is evident from the fact that in all
that relates to the South since the war that
party has only demanded that the COnst-
tuition, the laws, and equal rights among
every old issue that has come to the front
citizens shall be rcspcctcdand preserved, and
has been presented by the Democratic par
ty, and the Republicans have had no alter
native but to accept it as it has been pre-
sentcd through the policy Of that party
which is its ancient adversary, and with
which it is its mission to do battle. The Re-
publican party will find an ample field oil
combat over the issues presented by its ad-
ycrsary without dragging any old issues into
the arena.

SENATOR THURMAN knows full well when
he inveighs against United States supervis-
ors of elections and United States deputy
narshals, that these officials never deprived
any legally qualified elector of his right to
vote. If the distinguished Senator has any
object in view it must be to cover up the
crimes OF the red-shirted, red-handed, muir
derOus bull-dozcrs of the South, who have
set at defiance the Constitution and laws o
the land in their efforts TO seize upon the
Government and control the destiny of the
country.

THE WORK OF ENTERMINATION."

THE WORK OF "ENTERMlSATlOS."
The threat of determination for the
colored race South which has issued from
the Southern press recently is no idle vnpor-
ing, but is bearing almost daily fruits in
different parts of that section. The policy
now is to institute legal proceedings in the
State courts against innocent colored men,
place the preccpO in the hands of State
officer, who proceeds to execute his mission
with revolver, shotgun, or rifle, and the
arrest is made by shooting down the victim
at sight. We have letter before us dated
Rock Hill, S. c., Dec. o." in which ii is
stated that colorcd man was shot last
Thursday at the town of Ebenezer by an
officer who was attempting to arrest him.
He died the next day, and that was another
victim in the cause of determination.
The same correspondent writes that on the
day following another colored man was shot
down and instantly killed few miles be-
low Rock Hill, and thus one after another
the colored man is being quietly put away
beneath the sod of the grave, to add TO the
power Of Bourbonism in the South.

the issue squarely. Are the people ii

They make the issue and boast of the

ready to admit that Grant was the
traitor, and Jeff Davis the patriot, the
triumph of these Southern leaders will
come. These leaders no longer conceal
their principles, but, feeling sure of
victory, boast of what they will do.
The Union people of the country, Dem

warning of the purposes of these men,

the spirit that controls them. And they
know the consequences of giving traitors
opportunity and time to perfect their

Ice Made bY Steam.

Yesterday morning, about the time
when our merchants "most do congre-
gate at the Fourth Street Rialto," wnen
the thermometer was at 80 deg, mas
sive cake of steam-made ice was exhibited
to the gaze of the public on the sidewalk
in front of A. Ell. Pounsford's bookstore.
The cake was in cubical form of crystal
clearness, compact, and firm, and weigh
ing about 40 pounds. For three hours
it stood in the sun exposed upon five
sides, and was found to have melted only
about ne-half an inch on each side. In
the centre of the cube was card on
which, through thickness of several
inches, was plainly legiole the name OF
A. T. Holder, Esq, who witnessed the
process of manufacture. Twenty-four
hours time is occupied, and powerful
steam engine, with ammonia as a chemi-
cal agent, subjects the water to volatiliza-
ton, compression, and cooling: The
machine is not as complicated or expen-
sive as those in use in New Orleans and
European cities, since those having a
productive capacity Of five tons, a day can
be made for about So 500, those of ten
tons for Sc, 900, and those OF twenty tons
for SO, 900. The five-ton machines are in
use on the Cunard line OF steamers. and

this process be made at cost of ST. per

The Mississippi plan of collecting
taxes upon drinks differs from the Moi
felt system. Books of coupons are sold
by the State Auditor to all liquor deal
ers. Whena drink is sold, the consumer
receives coupon, which entities him to
receive from the State, in payment of
his taxes, cent. IF two drinks are to
be paid for, he receives an orange-col-
ored coupon good for 2 cents. If five
drinks, blue paper good for cents.
Not only does the State enjoy an income
from the tax on drinks, but the con-
sumner has reasonable chance of pay
ing off his taxes with the orange and
blue coupons. The saloons are crowded
all the time with men making out their
taxes. lgH
