Unjust LAW.

The laws of South Carolina pro-
hibit the Sheriff from employing a
LAWYER as clerk in his Office, and
yet the State, so to speak, makes the
Sheriff a judge. In all cases which
are contested, he is made Judge,
and unlike any other Judge, he is
made responsible and accountable
for his mistakes. If a Trial JUS
tiee, a Probate Judge, or q Circuit
Judge errs in judgement, the higher
court reviews his decisions and cor
rects his errors and the inferior
Judge is not a sufferer in costs or
otherwise, except in the mortifca-
tion of his pride which may follow
the reversal of his judgement. Not
so with the Sheriff. If the Sheriff
errs in Judgement, he is made to
foot the bill of costs. and is requir-
ed to make good in money, any err
ror which he has committed. With
this unfairness of the law which dis
eliminates against him, is it right to
deny him the benefit Of the legal
advice and aid of member of the
Bar, as clerk and counsellor ?-Ab-
beetle Press and BaHner.
We are aware of no law which
prohibits a Sheriff from employing
as many lawyers as he pleases as
counsellors. The sheriff's fees are
all payable to himself and with
them, he is at liberty to employ an
attorney, deputy or clerk-one,
all or none-as he chooses. The
only restriction imposed by the
law is that "no Sheriff, Deputy
Sheriff, or Sheriff's clerk, during the
time he is in any such Office, shall
act as attorney.at-law or solicitor-in-
equity the wisdom of this restric-
ton is too apparent for comment:
This does not prohibit sheriff from
employing praeticing attorney as
legal adgIser; it only obliges an at
torney who accepts the position of
@Sheriff, or Deputy Sheriff or Sher-
ifs clerk" for the time being to
cease praeticing. We do not see
how a Sheriff is made a judge ''in
all cases which are contested" he
is a ministerial officer whose bust
ness it is to execute the orders of
the Court and the duties prescribed
by the Legislature. If he follows
these, he is always safe. If in any
case the terms of the order or the
statue are doubtful, he can apply to
the court for light as to his duty;
or he can it may be under legal
advice accept that view of them as
seems to him right, and if any

Chancellor Carroll late Of Colum-

ABOUT OUR BoDIgs.

The saDitarians and physicians of this
day delight in exploding the theories of
yesterday as to how we shall conduct our
selves to secure the longest lease of life
and the highest state of health. DR.. Sar-
gent, of Hartford, Conn, comes to the
front now to tell us it is an erroneous
idea prevailing that the strongest men
come from the country. While certain
bones and muscles are larger by reason of
labor in certain localities, it does not fol-
low that there is corresponding develop
ment of the heart and lungs. So, when
We find one especially robust as TO bone
and muscle, it may be that it is a case
where there is a loss of energy in one direc.
ton for the excess of it in another. He
also tells us that the best physiques are by
no means to be found in the great cities,
but generally in the large towns and the
smaller cities, where there is opportunity
for plenty of exercise in the open air. Stu
dents are warned that they can do scarce
anything more harmful than to spend their
vacations, as many do, in unwonted hard
labor in the field; to do so is to expose
themselves to dangers possibly never to
be thereafter avoided. We all know that
the body must not be subjected to con-
tinusd extraordinary exertion suddenly.
The ability to sustain continued strain is
the result of slow growth. For one of
sedentary habits, therefore. to enter upon
the great exertion OF mountain climbing
and the privations of camping life sud-
denly, we may reasonably conclude is not
restful and beneficial and if this is true,
we are all wrong about camp life in our
summer vacations. for that it is accompa-
MED by severe physical exertion, except
where one is able to take along retinue of
servants, is not to be denied. The doctor
considers the system that prevails in some
/ rural districts, of rising in the chill and
dsmpness of the morning. say at o'clock,
and working for several hours before break.

pie must agree with him. At such time,

DEATH OF PROFESSOR eRsEH.

The world has met with great loss in
the death of Professor ]. r. Green, Elk.
aminer in the School of Modern History,
Oxford. No man Of this age has been SO
successful in introducing to the study of
history so large a class OF the people. His
several books on the English people have
met with reception that very few works
of that order have been honored with. His
never sunk into "drum and trumpet his
tory" He believed it to be reproach to
many historians that they too cf,en turned
history into a mere record of the butchefy
of men by their fellow men. He preferred
rather to touch lightly the wars with for
eign powers and the personal adventures
and intrigues of kings and princes, and TO
fix the attention upon the constitutional,
intellectual and social advances in which
we read the history of nation best,
Without being a great man, Professor
Green was benefactor, and by his genius
snd his skill as narrator reached
thousands to whom the profounder and
greater historians are unknown. It will
ever be regret that he died without com.
pleting the most important work OF his
life, an extended and fuller history OF the
Euglish race and nation.

same rule applies to those college men who
go out for two hours pull ON the river
before breakfast. We remember one prac.
teal farmer who had his men early to bed
and early up, but not one was permitted
to leave the house until he had partaken OF
alight dish of reasonably warm food, and had
spent some ten or fifteen minutes in quiet,
light, indoor avocstion before departing
for the hard labor of the field. In two
hours time the men came in to break
fast with appetites and digestions that
were insured. That farmer seldom had
sick man on his place, although for two
decades he employed from sixty TO seventy
men during each year. The same farmer
discharged an employee if he ventured to
take liquor upon an empty stomach under
any circumstances. The result was that
less liquor was consumed on that farm
than any other for twenty miles around,
aad case of drunkenness was very rare.
DR.. McSherry, an eminent authority, tells
us that idieness is more wearisome TO the
body and more trying to the whole system
than severe labor. Oar rest must
never degenerate into idleness. The
WEAKNESS of labor brings sound
sleep, good appetite and good di.
gestiop, but it must not be excessive
WEAKNESS. Exercise and labor should bring
the body frequently to state of perapirs-
ton, increase the action of the heart and
send the blood couraing through the veins.
Walking is good exercise, but that alone
wearies the brain. Walking, therefore,
cannot benefcially be adopted as the only
exercise. The man who does not follow
manual labor should have his saddle horse,
or his work bench, or "buck saw" or
his swinging rings and parallel bars, or
something of the kind to bring into play
all the muscles of the body and keep them
in like development. Riding and sailing
do not promote muscular vigor, but are
greatly beneficial to those who must take
passive exercise. The agency of exercise,
Gays one distinguished author, is prevent.
i've of dyspepsia and consumption and all
their train of accompanying evils. None
can observe the habits of the ordinary bus
mess man of to-day and not be convinced
that he needs more muscular exercise than
he takes. The merchants clubs should
have rooms fitted as gymnasium, if their
members lave not some other system for
some daily vigorous exercise of the muscles.
The surest way to keep the intellect active
and the mental powers vigorous is to &C.
company their exercise with daily physical
exercise. Longevity is promoted by labor,
and especially in the open air, and of this
no one can have doubt, but the extremes
of exercise and the lack of it are to be
avoided, and a happy mean attained that
will bring our bodies to their highest de-
velopment.

IRELAED's FRIEND.

If the Irish people Can rise to true
conception of the fact that their best
friend at this moment, in all the world, is
the statesman Gladstone, they viii find
light soon shining upon their paths. He is
the one man of the age who holds together
antagonistic political factions, and pre-
vents them from rending each other
asunder, and in whose contentious Ire.
land would suffer most. He is the all.
powerful friend of Ireland at this moment.
and alone can defy and control the ele-
ments that make the Irish question an I'M
settled one. Gladstone is the natural enc.
my of tyranny, but he is shrewd and
far.seeing politician, statesman of almost
unparalleled president powers, wise and
secret. keeping diplomatist, natural. born
leader of men, and when he breaks an
enemy and demolishes position it is done
without that assault at arms, that blsre of
trumpet and cry of victory in which others
delight. He is healer among his people,
if they will but trust to his ministrations.
He is the man of all others among English
statesmen who can rise superior to the
feelings of revenge, the preiudices of race
and the sentiments of an hour, to advance
measures that shall make indelible records
in the worlds history; to consider the
wrongs of people as a race, distinct from
the few who disgrace it by assassination
and disloyal plots for the commission of
crime the man of ell others with the
power to execute, who can devise plans
that, once disclosed, will command the re-
spect of the world, and insure feAlty to
them on the part of his nation. His dan.
ger of failure lies in the struggles of the
pigmy politicians whom he at present holds
in his grasp; in the acts of secret con-
claves in the heated and vexing importuni-
ties and appeals of reputed friends of Ire
land in the jealousies of rivals and the de-
mands of those to whom revenge is dearer
than Justice.

UgpLsDGsD CANDIDATES.

The new petition of the water company
at San Francisco, for an order restraining
the Supervisors from fixing water rates, is
based on the ground that the Supervisors
were pledged to fixed rates prior to cleo
ton, and are thereby disqualified from ex.
ercising that impartial judgment as Super.
visors which the law contemplates.
Whether there ia much or little in this
claim, it gives force to the objection against
candidates pledged to specific performances
when in municipal legislative positions.

jurists of the day, and one of the pro-
foundest and most dispassionate thinkers,
on Thursday, from the bench of the United
States Circuit Court, felt called upon to

do not build the best interests of society !;
and the absorption Of the columns Of the

nuisance that ought to be abated."
The reform, if ever it comes, must begin
with the news gathering associations which
collect and send to the press the details of
crime. They must be taught first to
search for the good in this world, else the
people will arrive at that state when the
