THE COMpTnOLLER-G GENERALS RE.
SIGNATION.


Cn last Saturday Col. Colt, who was at
the late election elected Comptroller
General, sent his resignation to the Gov.
ernor, who On last Tuesday laid the same
before both Houses of the Legislature.
A concurrent resolution to go into MI
election on yesterday wednesday, to Rll
the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
tion of Col. Colt was adopted by both
Houses. The prominent names men,
toned in connection with the office are
Mr.. w. E. Toney, who for four years was
book-keeper in the Office, Gen. Bratton
and Col. Lipscomb.
Col. Colts resignation was quite sur
prise, and the reasons which he assigns
in his letter of resignation, published in
another column, are clear and explicit.
We regret that he should have regarded
it, under the circumstances, duty to re-
sign his office, since the facts exonerating
him from blame were known by the peo-
pie ut the time they cast their votes for
him, and the Legislature releasing him
from the pecuniary liability incurred by
the default of q clerk, was the act of The
people through their Representatives
aud that, too, without auy expectation
cl their part that such release would lead
to Col. Colts resignation of the Office.
We think Col. Colt has committed q mis-.
take. The voie OF tho pcvpie u: the
polls must have convinced Col. Colt OF
their entire and continued confidence in
him, and the act of the Legislature re-
.easing him from neanninrv liability for
the default of subordinate on the
grounds of his innocency of all COM
psicity with his clerk and as simple JUS
tice TO o faithful public officer, should,
in our opinion, have induced him to cor-
tinue in the discharge of the high pub
lie trusts the people, with full knowl-
edge OF oil the facts, had committed into
his hands.

Rucker opposed the bill, taking tho line
that South Carolina should adhere to the
principle which had governed the people
for two hundred years. during which no
divorce laws had been enacted except
during the short interval undor Radical
rule. Mr. Dargan favored the bill. The
bill was defeated.

CRUELTY TO CONvICTs.

The special joint investigating COIN
mittee, appointed by concurrent resolu-
tion of the last General Assembly, to in
vestigate charges of cruelty to convicts Of
the South Carolina penitent;ary, employ
cd by the Greenwood and Augusta Rail-
road, was submitted to both Houses of the
Legislature last week. The committee
spent some time in the work assigned
them, visiting the convicts on the Road,
inspecting the stockades, and taking tcs-
timony in Columbia aud along the line
of the Road. From the report of the
committee it appears that the testimony
is voluminous and conflicting. The por.
tion of the testimony relating to the
charge Of cruelty aga;;s. :!,cso ~ho had
charge of tho conyicts is especially con-
Trajectory, and the committee expressed
no opinions as TO the guilt or innocence Of
any Of those parties, but recommend that
the testimony be referred to the Attorney
Genera! for such action rs the law justi.
fes. This action appears to us eniinently
wise, for if there has been cruelty the
parties are subject to criminal prosecution,
and are entitled to IN unbiased trial by
jury 20 pass upon tho conflicting testimo-
ny, which they could not hnve if their
cases had been prejudged by Legislative
action.
The committee exoneratc from all
criminal conduct the President and Di-
rectors Of the Road, and find the unusual
mortality among the convicts arose from
improper diet, want OF cleanliness and
the insufficiency OF the stockades for the
number crowded into them. The report
with the testimony will have the ten
dency to prevent the recurrence of the
causes which led to such fearful results.

The State election in Maine, on

parties. The Fusionists claim to
have carried the State, but that is
somewhat doubtful. Mr.. Blaine, in
a telegram to the secretary Of the

tee. SAYS 1.-The vote on Governor is so
close that it will require the official
returns to decide The Republicans
have carried the First, Second and
Third congressional districts, while
the Fusionists have carried the Fifth
and Sixth. The Republicans have
carried both branches Of the Legis-
iature by strong majority. Davis
and Plaisted have each over 10000
votes. Mr.. Blaine, in a dispatch to
Gen. Garfield, says: "Our canvass
was never more accurately taken,
and 1t showed Oh " edneSdav last a
total vote for Davis q tritle over TO-
600, with a probable majority of
5000 at the minimum. The four

ator Carpenter who are warm
friends personally rs they are I'M
yielding foes politically-some years
since got to talking about the prob
abilities as to.who would be elected
president in 1880. Finally, Senator
Carpenter proposed to Judge Black
that they should go to work as they
would to get jury each to write
down twelve names, which were to
be taken up one by one and objected
to or accepted. The judge agreed,
the list was made out, the senator,
with his usual courtesy, heading his
list with Judge Blacks name, and
Judge Black heading his list with
the senator's name.
OF course, Carpenter struck off his
name to begin with, and of course,
Black struck off his name. Then
the canvass went on. The remain
ing names as they were called were
fully discussed. One man was pro-
nounced eminently fit for the presi-
dency, but unavailable for some
cause; another had made some mis-
take which would prevent his cleo
ton; another WAS too extreme par
tisan; another lacked popular quail
ties; another had troublesome rec
ord, and SO on. This process of
striking off" continued until but
one name was left, rs that of the
man who was likely to be elected
president in 1880.
That name was the name Of James
a. Garfield.

REDWOOD ACADEMY,

On Tuesday, in oar opinion, Red
wood Falls took long step in her
steady path Of progress. We CON
graduate the town and county on the
accession Of an acGde"y to swell
the number Of our advantages. Mr..
Loba camo amongst US several months
ago with the purpose Of seeing what
could be done towards starting what
he calls an academy in our town.
He seems to have found the outlook
propitious, has worked quietly and
perse,eringly 70 accomplish this end,
and on Tuesday last We had the
pleasure of attending the opening
exercises of his school. Dir. Loba
stated in few words his plans, ar
engagements and hopes. and several
Of our most distinguished citizens
testified their appreciation. The ex-
ercises passed off pleasantly, and
every one left well pleased that we
re to have such an institution in our
wn, and well satisfied that Mr..
.oba is just the man to undertake it..
1Horouginess in scholarship is the
great end at which Mr.. Loba aims,
and there is nothing so much needed
all through our land. 1t may still
be matter of dispute whether collie
giate study is essential to liberal
education; but this much is certain,
that a collegiate course is worthless
without a good preparation. How
many of our young men go to our
colleges indifferently prepared, and
what is the result? They meet there
men who are their superiors, not in
tellectually it may be, but simply in
having had better preparation. In
vain do they strive to compete with
them. The others have the lead at
the start and increase it every day, and
the result is failure and disappoint-
ment to the man whose fault or mis-
fortune it has been to have had poor
preparation. He goes from bad to
worse until, finally, he gives up in
despair, and, hardened by disappoint-
ment, he becomes, in collegiate Ian
guage, "a loafer''- and a man who
learns to loaf in college will never do
much else afterward. Better is it
for a man to stay away from college
altogether than to go there with a
poor preparation. 1t is strange, but
true, that the preparatory part of a
mans education is the most impor.
tant. Many men who realize this
send their sons hundreds Of miles to
school. Is it, then, of no advantage
to this community that a good pre-.
paratory school is brought to oul
very doors? There are many good
colleges, but good preparatory
schools are rare. We fiattcr our
selves that Redwood Falls has one
of them. 1t only remains now to be
seen whether we have the material
in this community to form such a
school. It seems to be the opinion
of those who ought to know that We
have, but that to find it will take
pluck and energy. 1t is needless te
say that we think it will be found.

him they were ''marching to battle
for the Union" he knew it was lie,
and that they were marching to bat
