the jnries of the county would only

impsrtially the Occasion for mob law

We are shocked. Nothing OF the
sars has happened among us. 1t was
in Fairfield coupty-not Edgefeld-
that The Regulators whipped the adul-
terers and miscegenators And no
doubt theae dirty sinners got just
what they deserved. Nevertheless,
as a cotemrorary well observes. 1.-THE
Law was adequate to rectify these
abuses if its machinery had been pnt
in operation to that end. Lynch law
is dangerous. Its use inevitably leads
to abuse, and they who employ this
summary mode Of redressing public
grievances play with two edged
sword. Far better it is to let the law
takes it's course"
But it did not happen in Edge6eld
Indeed it did not. And for Gods
sake don't put any more upon US!

There was q very brilliant scene at Gov. Cleve-
lands reception at the executive chamber in the
capitol at Albany. Thursday afternoon. The gov
ernOrS staff assisted at the reception, and brought
all their medals, ribbons, badges, gold lace and
swords with them. The great room never looked
gay since the day OF the governors installation,
and the polished BRASS or the big fireplace was
quite thrown in the shade by the more brilliant
polish OF the Officers arms.
Every part OF the vast capitol building was
thronged with visitors The crowd that flowed
into The ante-room as soon as the boy threw open
the door was composed almost entirely or men.
The aideS-de-camp formed them in line and marched
the visitors into Gov. Cieveland's presence. The
governor took his stand in front OF his Dig desk and
as the visitors filed by Col. Uttley, OF Buffalo,
introduced each one. grasp OF the hand, q lew
