Pity the I3igoted.

The condition of South Carolina is ably por-
trayed by II truthful democrat One of the
editors of the New York Sun has drawn pic
turc Of the state to which treasons and strata
gems are indigenous. He has travelled oxten-
sively all over the south, and has made obscr-
vations with the fathfulness and fidelity of n
true journalist If there be any bias in his
writings IL is in favor of that section. This
is what one would expect of a man inclined
by party sympathies to leniently view tho
faults and failings of that territory from
which his party draws a largo portion Of its
electoral support. He has about an equal ad-
mixture of praise aud censuro for tho various
states until he comes to speak of the condi-
tion of South Carolina. OF that state he says /:
That there IS actually no spirit of progress, no
strong desire to have the state built up, desire
for immigration, no political toleration in outh
Carolina, and no welcome for any northern man,
are strong and almost incredible statements; but
they are facts.
From any one else these might seem to be
incredible statements" because of the
natural tendency of men to decry political
opponents. But when facts are thus presented
ny " lIltlh VI bnS bOuJu, WHO is TGCOBllIeu us
such by the people of that section, there can
be no room for doubt of their truthfuness and
reliability. The republican party has pointed
to these facts for several years past, and be-
sought the people of the south to rid them
selves Of the intolerant spirit which curses
their land and renders it barren of capital
and thrift. But with puorile obstinacy and
folly they have preferred to trundle along in
tho ruts of the past, and retrograde rather
! than progress. Every country and state
needs occasional infusions of fresh
blood in order to stimulate its
growth. The people on the western
frontier realize this fact, and welcome
with royal cheer every live man who joins
them in the development of their portion of
the country. The people of some portions of
the south, on the contrary, cling to their ideas
of the old regime, when labor was fit only for
negroes and business enterprise a thing so
rare as to be almost unknown. They will
not realize that times have changed and that
new era has dawned upon them. They
have no welcome to extend to northern men,
and no tolerance of any ideas of political
economy that do not accord with their no.
tions of bourbon supremacy, regardless OF
| right and justice. In this they are their own
worst enemies, and are deserving as much of
pity as Of censure.

Treatment OF Criminals,

Criminals condemned to a term of service
or for life in penitcntiaries do not lose their
humanity by reason of their discovery and
conviction. The mere fact of his capture,
and the determination of his guilt by Il
jury, docs not oblterate from the fclon his
senstiveness to suffering and degradation
Even the murderer, who ispermitted by law to
live, retains the weaknesses of humanity, and
should be treated accordingly. These state
ments arc truisms which need no bolsterngby
argument. Nevertheless the scenes which are
presented in our penitentiaries from time to
time tend to make one doubt the truth of these
premises Either the understanding of hui
manity is blunted in the attendants, or the
condemned have no feeling. The recent ex-
positions of cruelty and brutality in the pris-
ons of New York arc disgmceiul to civiliza-
ton. The death penalty would be n mercy
TO many man rather than continued exist
cnco in such inquisitions rs modern civili-
zatiOn has set up for the torture of telons
The mere fact of their presence in tho peni-
tcntiarics seems sufficient evidence to the at
tendants that they are fit subjects for tyr
amy.
The object of punishment is not to infict
torture; it is intended by tho law to have
reformatory influence upon the condemned
This idea should be presented to the mind OF
the warden and deputy warden of every prison
in such forcble manner that it may thor.
oughly imbue them with its spirit. 1t should
be by them inculcated into the sluggish brains
of underlings who are more often in contact
with the prisoners. Mon should be selected
for the chief control of these institutions
who will appreciate the fact that they
are great refOrmatories. The majority
Of convicts are young men and women
who are sent up for short terms
They should be taught not only trades. but
the responsibilities and possibilities of true
manly citizenship. 1t should be the endeavoi
of the authorities, without the relaxation OF
punitive discipline, to inculcate in the youth,
ful mind ambitious ideas of honorable life
In majority of cases these efforts might moi
be of lasting benefit, but if, in ten per cent, o
cases, reformation should result, society would
have reason to be proud of its advancement.
Under tho present regime some peuitonti
aries are the scene Of brutalities too horrible
TO contemplate too despicablc to describe

Progress and Obstruction.

,rhe house committee of the whole is work
ing on the tenth page of the tariff bill, and
the republicans are doing everything in their
power to get on with the work. Any one
who observed the debate of yesterday in COM
mittee saw the drift of purposes as between
the two sides of the house-the efforts and
the distractions The republicans gave way
ut once in cases where it was shown that no
protection is needed, and let articles go upon
the free list as in the case of acidulated phos-
pilates. They were complaisant and ready to
be reasoned with, and mainly anxious to go
on with the work. The democrats lost their
patience at o'clock and tried TO adjourn,
but were held until @, though they were sue
cessful in preventing any work on the bill,
Mr.. HAMMOND, of Georgia. betrayed the pur-
pose Of his side when he moved to strike out
and could not tell which line he meant. This
was not uncommon, had his purpose been to get
in further remarks; but it was n little uncom-
mon for him to getmad when asked about itand
say he "didn't care which line il was or what
thcre was in IT," This is the way tho demo-
Gratis all feel. They do not care what the lines
are or what the sections are-thoy care only
to prevent, if possible, a revision of the tariff
by the republicans. Tho fear is that they will
accomplish their object if they continue the
obstructive policy inaugurated yesterday, for
the present rate of progressive pages day
would consume the remainder of the session,
even were there no more appropriation bills
to be considered. OF course the same policy
will, if possible, be brought into play on the
appropriation bills to prevent return TO the
tariff measure. There arc hundred ways for
making delay, and there is disposition Ia
use them all, if necessary.
The house bill is the one that really revises
the tariff reduces the revenue, and at the
same time does not disturb any trade or man
ulacturing industry. Itwould be an unfortu.
nate compromise to take the senate BILL though
that may be ready in ten days, The house
bill is carefully prepared, with the bill upon
which the tariff commission worked
three months for a basis, and the best conclu-
sions the ways and means committee could ar.
rive at after six weeks Of daily study of all
classes, articles, and industries to bo affected
Tho tariff commission bill lacked precisely
what the ways and means committee supplied
to il, as the president of the commission adj
mits, while the senate bill lacks what both
the commissions bill and the committees bill
depend upon-contact of tho trainers with
tho people to ho affected, With few
exceptions, the members Of the senate finance

BREAKFAST BITS.

THE LOVERS KNOT AND OTHERS.
"This is a true-loUers knot" he said,
As he twisted over a bit ofthread,
And carefully drawing the ends out straight
Presented the form of the figure eight.
ut is, my darling, double moose,
Pretty to look at ifleft quite loose,
But two hearts closely we may unite
by pulling the ends Of the cord up tight.
"This is q botoline Knot" quoth he,
To the merry maiden upon his knee;
"And terrible things ON the mighty ship
Would happen, you know, If this knot should slip;
In dropping the anchor, in hosting sail,
In making safe from the fearful galei
And the bowline knot you will understand
Should never be made by careless hand.
"And this a SOeduc's knot" my dearI
An intricate puzzle to you, / fear;
But you'll find you'll often have use for 1t
When the children's stockings you learn to knit.
o, what confusion and loss betide,
If q knot in the warp were left united
Hither and yon would the stitches run,
And the weaver's weaving be soon undone.
In tying knot, If you tie /. wrong
You can't depend on It very long;
But If made as 1t ought to be--firm and fast
Twill hold, and tighten, and always last.
Now which of these knots do you like the best?'

Like woman, answered. and queried, too,

prepared. As a consequence they are hearing
from the people now at the rate of thousands
every day in petitions not to take away the
necessary protection in their zeal TO reduce.
The senate bill does more reducing than re-
vising as an examination of it will show.
The house bill both reduces and revises, and
is as nearly perfect as can be hoped for,
though debate calculated to further perfect
it may be had with benefit and without great
loss of time. A debate to prevent the re-
vision is quite another thing The country
need but watch the printed debate from day
to day to see what each party is trying to do.

A New Assessment.

AS matter Of justice to very large part
of the district population, it is to be hoped
congress will find opportunity to pass the bill
providing for new assessment of property.
The case is not one that need take up any
time. II is simple and clear as
well as an urgent one. By reason of
there having been no adjustment Of values
for purposes of taxation during some four
years past, q most unequal burden Of taxation
has been thrown upon the shoulders Of some
of the poorest property owners; and this
while it is true Of individuals is true also
of sectional divisions in the city itself.
There has been u general surface change in
actual values all over Washington since tho
last assessment, so that in many localities
property has been actually sold for from six
to ten times its assessed value; while in
other cases improvements both large and
costly have escaped without any payment of
taxes. Both increased values and tho un-
taxed improvements have to be mado up for
by the holders Of property that has not risen in
value. The taxes paid by holders of such
property are out of all reason large in proper
tion to those paid by the owners of more for
tunato property. 1t is wrong, and plainly so.
The passage through the senate of the house
bill proposing a new assessment would right

The Senate Organization.

There will probably bc thirty-oight repub-
licans and thirty-six democrats in the senate
after the fourth of March. There will also
be two readjusters. Now, as the republicans
and readjusters have got along well together
both in Virginia and in the senate for Il long
time there is no reason to doubt that they
will continue to do so. Democrats and their
allies ON the outside of the senate think
it would be better for the thirty
eight republicans to fuse with the thirty
six democrats on an organization than
to continue tho present coalition. This
would give the democrats half of the
offices and half of the committees and their
chairmanships and clerbs-whereas, as mat
ters are now, they get none Of either-cxcept
two or three minor committees. The demo
Gratis are afraid it will hurt the republican
party for MAHoNE and RIDDLEBERGER to aid
il in the organization of the senate. The hired
men of the democratic party who write
in great independent dailies entertain the
same fear. But the apprehension does not
seem to extend into the senate chamber
There all is serene. Tho senate will be or.
ganized without bourbon aid, and whatever
harm may come to the republican party from
having the president and other officers of tn,
senate and its committees will be endured
