The Oft-respited Convict.

JEFF David, the negro who was
condemned to die for the murder
of the Franklins three or four years
ago is not dead yet Before and
since his conviction Mr.. Benet, OF
the Abbeville Bar, has worked most
assiduously to save his life. Time
after time the Governor has re-
spited him, and his fate has been
handed down from one Governor to
another since Ha npton's term.
A few days ago Mr.. Benet sue
ceeded in securing for David a new
trial. The evidence upon which
David was convicted before was al
together circumstantial, and we
doubt whether he would have been
convicted had it not been for the
horrible nature of the crime with
which he was charged. The best
of iuries are unconsciously biased
under such circumstances. It is
hardly probable that he will be
convicted again. His case has been
q remarkable one.

License or No License.

The public mind is thoroughly
aroused on the liquor question. The
Legislature found the sentiment so
strong that, representing the peo-
pie, it passed very stringent law
in regard to granting licenses, pro-
hibiting their being granted outside
Of incorporated cities and towns,
and imposing what was probably
regarded by that body an addition
al burden upon the liquor dealer OF
500 for the benefit of the County.
Several incorporated towns have
held municipal elections within the
past week in which the chief issue
was license or no license. Chester
went for license; Greenwood for
license; Rock Hill for no license !;
Laurens for no license.

Several negroes who were for

South, including Elliott, Straker
and Sam Lee, called on President
elect Garfield the 18th instant.
They declared themselves the fore
runners OF a representation of col.

stated their purpose to be to repre-
sent to Gen. Garfield the condition
of the colored people of the South,
and not to urge the claims of Bruce

is tardy in takiee them up, and has
so far taken action on none Of them.
The House will receive the remaining
bills from the appropriation comp'ittce
very soon, aod proceed with them
during the time not given to other
purposes by the rules. The three
measures in which most interest is
tak,n. aside from the appropriation
bills, seem to have better prospects
at least in the House-than they had
a week ago. They are the funding
bill, the Interstate commerce bill, and
the reapportionueut bill. Upon the
f.:l named one there has been a great
deal of informal caucusiug done of
late. The tendency of opinion is to-
wards higher rate Of interest than
three per cent, and division Of the
issue into bouds or Treasury notes re-
deeuable at different tunes after two
years.
Mr.. Reagan claims for his Inter-
State com uerce bill, a majority of
fifty in the House, aud a certainty of
passage in the Senate. He will be
fortunate if he gets a vote Of any kind
upon it in the House, 1 think.
All who now speak of the reappor-
tionment bill, which will be introduced
this week by Mr.. Cox, say it should
pass. Even those Republicans who
would do almost anything for party
sake, and who would like to have the
measure passed by the next House
because that House will be Republican,
say this is the proper time for its pas
sage.
Above I mentioned the rules Of the
House. When they were adopted as
| the work of men like Randall, Ste.
| phens, Frye, Blackburne, and others,
it was thought they would be great
| improvement upou the old rules. This
is not the general opinion in the
House now. Indeed, the best parlia
: mentarians favor another revision, and
will probably take measures during
the session to secure it.
Yesterday, a special com mittee, with
Representative Converse, as Chairman
was appointed to ascertain the facts
concerning the alleged improper use
of franks in mailiug documents frou
this city during the Presidential cam
paign. There were charges against
both the Democratic aad Republican
Com uittees having headquarters here
and the House sometime ago called
upon the Postmaster. q General for par.
ticulars. That official sent in q report
which is said to duplicate, none but
Democrats. The Committee just ap
pointed will take such evidence az t
bring out all the facts.

Some Of My Chilhhood's Days.
DEM

Chow dear to my heart are the scenes Of my
childhood,
AS fond recollection presents them to
view"
The spot where our eyes first opened
on this great world of ours seems to
claim from US kind of veneration.
There is an innate feeling in man
which prompts him as his soul burns
within him to exclaim, my owu, my
native land" when his thoughts hurry
back to the old homestead where he
was born. The memories of our earli-
est ho1e fill a niche in our mental
building, which will never be vacated
until this "hoase not made with
hands" shall have tottered and crum-
bled to ruin. We love to think of the
dear sunny old hill, the huge oak
where the gold6nch made its summer
sojourn, and the cottage which We
thought SO perfect. True, it was not
of any particular style of architecture,
for our father was bachelor when ne
built it, and the design accorded with
bachelors notions of convenience.
The house was built of logs, and was
divided into four rooms, some Of which
were ceiled. The others were nicely
strapped with dressed boards. Two
fre.places made this house very CON-
Portable dwelling. As to the sur
rounding community, We do say, like
the Icelandcr about his island, We had
some OF the best neighbors con which
the SUI. ever shone." Our father was
almost tortY.eisht and our mother
forty when their eldest child was born,
so you may know there was great re-
joicing ip the little brown room over
an infant, even if it was a little red
headed girl baby. No doubt they
thought, like other parents, that We
had a prominent forehead, deep-set
eyes, diupled checks or some other
qualification which rendered US beau
tiful. We have often seen our good
mother laugh heartily as she told us
of the quaint little gowus and caps
she stitched for US. Ab ! no more
devoted fingers ever bentito ply the
needle fo1 loved one. When two
years had passed little baby was sent
US for company. We, like most chill
dren, disputed for our right, but being
told it was our own brother. (you know
what modifying influence that word
ours has) We gave the little nursing
our place in mothers BOSOM and
learned that We could be ''papa's ba-
by" The family was now complete,
aud one of the first thoughts in those
days, was to provide way to attend
church. The people then did not stay
from worship for bad roads or cold
weather, though the churches were
