The cycle Ct Jewish holidays during this
month is completed with the feast of the
booths on the 18th day of Tishri which
begins this Sunday evening and lasts for
eight days the LIST and last only being full
festivals. These correspond to our "thanks-
giving day." celebrate in gratitude the
blessings of bountiful harvest, in connec-
ton with the historical preservation of the
lsraelites while travelling for forty years in
the Saharah. Formerly Succoth that is
booth Vas built for every house where festiv-
tiles were observed; divine worship also was
graced into palm branch, (lular) para
disc fruit (esrug), a bough of myrtle and
willow, all of which, however, have fallen in
disuse with modern ideas of Judaism which
ignores largely ceremonial law and empha-
sizes principles instead. Divine services will
be held this evening at o'clock at the Tenn
pie, where Rev. ID. IL. NJ. Bien will preach
on Mikroh Kandesh holy conversations; and
tomorrow morning by 10 o'clock, to all of
which the public are cordially invited.

In the New York Weekly Underwater, of
September 18th, we find full proceedings of
the eleventh annual meeting of the Fire IN
derwriters' association of the northwest, held
last week in Chicago. Among the essays
read on the occasion were those contending
for what was known as the. Baker prize, this
being 500 in cash. This prize was awarded
to our esteemed townsman, Mr.. j. T. Dargan,
of the insurance firm of Dargan &c Irrelevant,
gentleman as universally known for his
business qualifications as he is little known
for his real educational and literary abilities.
When we consider that in this intellectual
contest on practical subject, Mr.. Dargan
had to meet some of the best minds of this
country with the large advantage of those
extensive experiences continuously had
by daily contact with ampler surround
ings of men and of professionals in his
line Of business and of events and circum-
stances of information, We begin TO appreci-
ate the extra merit which must have dis
tinguished the essay of our deserving and
modest friend. But the Underwater saws ::
"The president announced that the Baker
prize essay would now be read. He ex-
planned that the purpose of introducing this
feature in the proceedings of the association
was not mercenary, but to excite the ambi-
ton Of the members and stimulate them to
make their best efforts. He gave a
history of the matter, read the
circular which had been issued in
connection with it, and announced that the
committee TO which were referred the con.
tributions reported that sixteen had been re.
ceived and that the successful contestant was
J. L. Dsrgan, OF Dallas, Texas. Four Others
were entitled to honorable mention. and
would be published in the proceedings. Mr..
Dargan then read his paper. 1t was
listeLed to attentively, and the unanimous
opinion was that the committee in awarding
the prize to this paper had acted wisely. Ii
will appear in the weekly Underwater of
September 18th. When Mr.. Dargan had
concluded the reading of this paper, the
president, in happy manner, presented him
with Mr.. Bakers check. DR.. Dargsn said
that tho business in which he was engaged
has for one of its objects quid pro quo, and
If the association were satisfied with his ESSAY,
he was quite satisfied with the check" "

The Town Clock

The town clock will remain in its present
position, and the supposition is that it will
give forth the same doleful uncertain sounds
that it has heretofore. The county COM
mlssioners' court decided this yesterday, and
the remainder of the 81 900 due for this pub
lie time, piece was allowed; yet it is due to
Judge L. f. Burke to state that he urged
that the contract in regard to the bell and
clock had not been complied with, and at his
request his protest WAS spread upon the min.
ute'. The building has been sadly disfgured
by cutting holes through the floor to give
passage to the huge weights

This Gun only be done by a court and
jury. But courts and juries cannot
act oftleir own motion. Some one
must take steps to have the facts
brought before judicial tribunal.
This Is surely rot the duty Of the
GoXcrnor, and still less can it be cx-
pectcd Of the Attorney General or the
Circuit Solicitor. 1t is peculiarly the
duty of the Directors Of tho pcniten-
tiary TO take the matter in hand. Let
them make atlidavits against Captain
Cahill and others suspected of cruelty
to the convicts-including if nccossa-
ry to a full investigation, al. tho
guards and ovcrscers. If the parties
arc innocent, they cannot suffer. A
judicial inquiry can only vindicate
their Innocence and their characters.
The Directors need certainly feel no
hesitation IN this matter. If, how
ever, they refuse to act, then lot Col.
Lipscomb, the officer in charge of the
pcnitcntiary, make the necessary
aflllavits.
Enough has surely been shown to
call for thorough Judicial inquiry
into the treatment Of the convicts. If
no such step be taken, thore will GER
tainly DC ground for somo people to
say that tho proper authorities connive
at conduct which, from the evidence
given to the public, seems to have been

The Hired Conyicts.

The letters which we publish In this
Issue, concerning the condition of the
pcnitentiary convicts hired to the
Greenwood and Augusta Railroad
Company, speak for themselves. A
great deal has been written, and much
more said, about the treatment of
these convicts. Tie first publication
on tho subject was, we believe, the
letters of the staff correspondent Of tho
-Ne'os and Courier. Previous to this
there had boen somc grave charges
made, and these letters went far to
confirm tho impression that the con-
victs had really been worry badly treat

THE APPROPRIATION BILY. recently
passed by the Legislature ia a good
sample of hurried legislation. The
levy for State purposes was fixed by
tho House Mt ID mills. Tho Senate
raised this lcvy to A mills, but subse-
qucntly rcccdcd from its amendment,
leaving tho bill as it originally stood.
These facts arc said to have been prop
eriy entered upon the margin of the en-
crossed bill, but tho enrolling clerk
ny n mistake in copying, inserted the
Senatc amendment in the Act. In the
haste incident to tho last days of the
session, the mistake was not observed,
ana tho Act, as enrolled, was duly
ratified and approved. Two other
errors have also been discovered. The
levy OF $4,000 in Charleston county,
for tho Fourth Brigade, was improp-
erly inserted, and tho lovy of "a special
tax IN Marion county was inadvertent-
ly omitted. These mistakes give rise
to some opprchensions as to the validi-
ty Of tho Act. The cngrosscd bill has
never bccn ratified, or approved by
the Governor; while the enrolled bill
has not been read three times in cacl,
house. Some think that the entire
levy of "A mills can be made, and tho
amount IN excess Of the appropriations
carried forward to the next fiscal year.
We trust this view may provo correct.
1t would be very bad to have no legal
supply bill--thus nccessitating either
an extra session of the Legislature, or
the postponcmcnt of tax-collccting till
late next winter.
