Our Mail Facilities

Have been greatly enlarged in the past few
years. and with few other routes opened
our citizens would all be in reasonable reach
of q post Office. Nothing is of greater impor.
tance to people than perfect mail facilities,
since the mails are the distributors of private
and public information Of great value. Wal
halla now enjoys three daily mails: Ono by
the Blue Ridge Railroad, one by the Air Line
Road TIA Westminster to Walhalla, and one
to Franklin N. G. We have a bi-weekly
mail from Franklin by the way of Clayton,
Co., and several weekly mails. rs tho route
to Cashiers Valley. N. O.. by way of Cheohee
and other Offices; the route from Walhala to
Pickens G. H., by way of Keowee and the
High Falls; the route from Walhalla
to Walhalla, embracing Toxaway. Bar-
toms Creek, Riverside, Pulaski, Battle Creek,
Long Creek, &c. Besides these routes direct
ly from Walhalla, other routes start at other
points and reach different parts ofour county
A new route is now being petitioned for from
Westminster by way of Oakway, Bachelors
Retreat and South Union. This ronte would
penetrate the richest and most populous por-
ton of our county and should be oponcd, ms
it is much needed. The division of the dis,
trict put oil our mail arrangements out Of
joint, and it has required time and trouble
to arrange them. We orc now fairly on the
road to good system Of mail accommodations
which we hope to see fully perfected. And
now that our people have better mail facilities
we hope to see the subscription list to the
COURIER largely increased. We are told by
the postmaster that Walhalla is now the ds>
tributing Office for four counties of Western
Nortl, Carolina.

Teachers Union Of Oconee.

In accordance with resolution passed at
the last meeting of the Union, the third
meeting of the Union was held in tho Court
House at Walhalla, January 4th 1870.
The meeting was called to order by the
President, owing to tho inclemency Of the
weather, and the small number of teaohere
present; but little business was transacted.
On a motion from the Secretary, Dr.. j. p.
Smeltzer was appointed to deliver an address
to the Union, at tho next meeting, on the
"Rslation between Parent, Teacher, and
Pupil"
Major Charles Petty, of spartanburg. will
also, address the Union and Mr.. w. j. Beard
will read m essay on Normal Schools, at the
next meeting.
The following names wero added to the
membership of the Union: w. L. Davis, Jr.,
W. W. Leathers, and j. r. Petty.
Dr.. j. p. Smeltzer moved that the meeting
adjourn to meet at Westminster on the first
Saturday in April, at 10 a'clock A. NJ.

Mr.. Fischesser, on Main street, and two piss
tolls, besides number o" toys were abstraoted
from the shelf This was done eithor in
daylight or about dark and before the window
blind had been closed, as tho blinds on Tues
day morning were closed rs usual, with no
signs of violence. Mr.. f. thinks the stealing
occurred about dusk, when he went to the
post Office and before he had closed for tho
night. During the came night, some ono
bent the iron bar which held the blinds Of the
window in Mr.. Seeba's barroom. lifted of tho
shutter and breaking glass took from the
shelf q bottle of brandy. Mr.. S. heard the
breaking of the glass and thinking it was
some ono throwing at his street lamp, called
at them, which doubtless prevented further
depredatious. The burned bagging and
broken ties Of two bales Of cotton were found
a few days ago in q fold near Walhalla. This
cotton had evidently been stolen, the ties cut
and the bagging burned. after the cotton had
been removed. These thefts have been going
on for over year, and are on the increase
While there is no remedy for them in the way
of proper punishment, we may expect this
state Of things to grow worse.

Governor Hampton is still improving
The Whipping Post.

We have seen q statement in one of our
exchanges that negro. who was publicly
whipped at Buckhorn, in Upper Nansemond
County, Virginia, on tho Goth ult., for steal-
ing ten dollars worth Of property from a
farmer of that neighborhood, Of which offense
he had been duly convicted and sentenced to
receive thirtycnine lashes, went home after
the whipping, took his gun and blowed out
his brains. The article is headed "Suicide
from shame" and concludes with the state.
ment that this tragic result will materially
add to the unpopularity Of the whipping post
Where does the shame come inP A man who
can steal and not kill himself for shame of
the crime, can surely suffer the punishment
for his crime. There is greater cause for
shame in the crime than in the punishment,
and if the whipping post would always bear
such fruits as in the case stated, Virginia, in
q few years, would have less rcgues th any
State in the Union, and would be none the
poorer. A little Of the same medicine. pro.
ducing like effect, would rid our section of
the loafng pilferers who lie about all day and
at night rob corn cribs, smoke-houses and
hen roosts. Who has any sympathy for such
criminals in free country, where plenty of
labor at fair wages Gun be had2 Why should
they be fed off tho hard earnings of the
honest laborers, black aud white, and if
caught consigned for thirty days to place of
rest in our county Jail, where og and hominy
abound and are furnished to them, ready
prepared, at tho expense Of the taxpayers.
Little Delaware has stuck to the whipping
post as curative for petty thieving, handed
down to them by their ancestors, hoary with
age, and found efficient BY experience They
fog whites and blacks alike for larceny, and,
1t is said, there is less thieving in that State
than in any State in the Union. Virginia
has lately re-onacted the whipping post and
its establisbm Ut in South Caroline has been
largely discussed, for several years. Petty
thieving has become 80 common that society
and and the preservation Of our property
demands some remedy. Iho present punish.
ment is farce, and we must have severe
punishment Of some kind. We are not bar
barous, we hope. but still ii few Of the
rogues could be induced to leave the country
or butt out their dishonest brains VIC would
be bottcr of rs u people.

ELECTION FRAUDS IN THE NoRrn.-The
Baltimore american. 90 intensely Radical
Republican paper, contains tho following,
which is rather refreshing reading in connec-
tion with charges Of Democratic frauds at the
So1th:
"Pittsburg should be visited by all the Con.
gressional Committees who are 10 search Of
frauds in elections. There are more election
frauds in Smoke City and more political job,
berry to the square foot than in any other city
in the country. But tho local courts have
succeeded in at least one instance in ferreting
the frauds to tho bottom aud deciding an
election in accordance with the faoto. In the
aldermanio election last February the ring
Republican nominee was declared elected by
ak votes, by fraud which Judge Bailey,
elected by Republican votes. declared were
disgrace to our civilization A decision was
rendered Saturday declaring the Independent
Republican nominee elected by seventy nine
votes. Justice comes somewhat tardily, but
it is gratifying to SOC on election case settled
equitably once in while, instead Of by par
san prejudices."
