Senator Edmunds passed through
Charleston on his way to Aiken, the
other day, and gave the people of South
Carolina some frst-class advice through
the medium of The Charleston NeUs
and Courier He told the reporter that
Senator Malone was displaying con-
siderable pluck, and he had no doubt
he was acting as he thought would best
benefit his State. What Virginia wants,
he said, is what South Carolina wants
-people-and Senator Malone, infu-
enced no doubt with the desire of build
ing up the agricultural and manufactur.
ing interests of the State, was endeav-
oring to bring about such a condition
OF things politically as would give as.
surance to those who might desire to gc
there and settle that they would have
the right of free speech and action anC
would be allowed to vote and have tina
vote counted. 1.-The people Of tn,
North" added the Senator, in his dry
est manDer, 'have no dislike of tn
South. They simply have a distrust
and the only way to overcome that dis
trust and induce an influx of capita
and class of Intelligent laborers is t
give every man the right to have an,
exercise his own opinion, and even t
undergo the inconvenience of allowin
every man one vote" That is the fac
precisely.

An extra session will save at the

numbers. If the entire sum now out
standing in 5 and 6 per cents, and re
deemable this year, could be funded
July l, 1881. instead of Janury l, 1882,
the saving in six months interest would
be S7,6OO,OOO. About one third of the
bonds outstanding and redeemable can be
taken up. The saving on the rest is
about 100000, provided everything
goes exactly right in the extra session,
and things very rarely do go right in
extra sessions. If 3 IL per cent.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times says: 1.-The new Emperor of
Russia is almost entirely ignorant of
affairs of state. He will probably speed
lily set aside his fathers advisers. Nei-
Their the Cars personal capacity, nor
his friends and advisers, nor the circum-
stances of his accession, warrant the
expectation of his inaugurating a more
cOnciliatory or liberal course. All the
indications are that he will adopt re-
preston. The Gar is said to be anti
German, hut this is vague expression.
Greece has now unquestionably Jealous
champion in the Empress Of Russia.
Her first effort will be directed toward
policy more favorable to Greece. This
might open up prospect disquieting tc
Europe but for the hope that Turkey,
taking note of these new bearings, will
promptly avert the danger by making
the necessary concessions"

The Pail Mall Gazette of the 10Th, in
a leading article, says: 1.-THE news from
the East is cminous of war. Crete is
the maximum which the Turks offer to
cede. The cession of Crete and Thessaly
is the minimum which the Powers will
accept, Unless means can be found to
bring the minimum nearer the maximum,
the Greeks will cross the frontier, and a
war will begin which may not close
until it has spread far beyond the limits
of the Ottoman Empire. If the Powers,
even at the eleventh hour, would act
with decision, war would not begin. If
war begins. it will be because permission
for it has been given by one or more
Powers to whose refusal, however dis
guised, to participate in the collective
actions of the concert, the war will be
due"

A DISAGREEABLE SURPRISE.

There was so very decided an express
sion Of the general feeling that Mr..
Stanley Matthews is not a suitable per-
son for a Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States that his renomina-
ton is disagreeable surprise. One of
the vitality important qualifications of a
judge is public confidence in his judicial
character, and that is precisely what is
wanting In this instance. There is no
question of Mr.. Matthews's personal
character, nor of his professional learn
ing and general ability. But there is
very general doubt whether man of
his known views and professional con-
nections is fitted for the Supreme Bench,
and this grave doubt is grave disqual-
ifcation. When President Grant nom.
mated Mr.. George H. Williams and
then Mr.. Caleb Cushing to be Chief
Justice of the United States, the gen
eral and instant condemnation of the
nominations was sufficient reason for re
lection.
Mr.. Matthews course upon the fnan
cial question shows him to be thorough
ly unsouud. If the entire Suprem,
Bench shared his views upon that sub
ject, there would be profound uneasi

Oh no, there is no need of civil-service
reform. Even such an old stager as
Garfield thought the matter of appoint
ment was quite simple under the pres
ent regime. First, appoint your friends,
second, appoint the republican congress-
mems friends. What could be easier -?
But Garfield is quoted as remarking to
a friend that he has no fondness for
deciding between two equally good
men for place." One of the cabinet
says that he has been in office two weeks
and has been able to devote Just five
hours to the public business, the rest of
his time having been absorbed by office
seekers. If this cabinet secretary would
shut down on removals, as Mr.. Schurz
did, he would soon be able to devote his
time to the business for which he is
paid. Secretary Blaine was laid up
with fatigue Saturday, and did not
leave his house at all, while Secretary
Lincoln is the first man to post a notice
fixing his hours, and refusing to see
applicants for clerkships at all.-Repub-
