The Columbia correspondent Of the
Augusta Chronicle, pays the following
compliment to the present administration
OF the State Government, SO far as it re.
slates to finances:
have several times lately alluded to
the sound financial condition of South
Carolina and the prices at which her Be-
curities have been ruling. Recently
there was q sale Of the Brown consols in
New York at ITO, and State Treasurer
Richardson informs me that this does
not represent the value of these bonds as
they are really not in the market for any
price. The financial statement, fur
nished by the State Treasury for the frat
ten months of the current year, shows
receipts amounting to $8l1, $685. 80, which,
added to the balance in the Treasury on
the 3lst Of October, 1884, $102, ,356.9S,
makes the aggregate S814, $685.. The
disbursements have been S786, ,010.24,
leaving balance in the State Treasury to,
date Of S12S,345.64, and the second and
largest instalments of. State taxes for the
year just beginning to come into the
Treasury. Nearly one-half of the
amount expended has gone to pay inter-
est on State debt, and this shows how
economically the State Government is
administered. -

AN uNREAsoNABLE CRITICISM.

The NeaOs and Courier takes Lieuten-
ant Governor Sheppard to task for ap.
pearing as counsel for the parties &C.
cused of lynching Culbreath lately in
Edgefeld County, aud contends that it
is improper for him to act as counsel in
any case on the criminal side of the
Court, because he might become Cover.
nor, and his clients might be convicted
and apply for executive clemeucy, there
by putting him in an awkward position.
The Edge6eld Chronicle replied to this
position of the Meps and Courier and
among other things said: "And it
might also object to any prominent
lawyer going into the criminal Court to
practice, as it is within the range of hu.
man events that any man in the State
may become Governor. The position of
the Neaos and Courier on this point is 80
clearly untenable that we are inclined to
believe that the astute editor was absent
that day, and that the Office boy was run.
ming the paper"
To this the Neacs and Courier replies
The Chronicle apprehends US correctly
in one respect. We think that the Lieu.
tenant. Governor, during his term of
Office, should not act as counsel in any
criminal case whatsoever in this State.
The reason for it is that, under the Con.
stitution of South Carolina, the duties of
the Office of Governor devolve upon the
Lieutenant Governor "in case of the re-
moyal of the Governor from his Office,
or his death, resignation, removal from
the State, or inability to discharge the
powers and duties of said Office" There
is always a possibility, therefore, that the
Lieutenant. .Governor-not "any man in
the State"-may become Governor, is
Lieutenant.Governor Simpson became
Governor by reason of the inability of
Governor Hampton. Moreover, the res.
ignation of Governor is not impossible,
as Mr.. Sheppard knows.
1t is quite possible, as we have shown,
that Lieutenant Governor Sheppard
shall become Governor before the general
election next year. 1t ig the right of
every one who is convicted of an offense
to make application to the Governor for
pardon or Communication of sentence. In
what position would Lieutenant Cover
nor Sheppard find himself, if person
whose counsel he was while Lieutenant
Governor should apply to him for pardon
when he became Governor? Whether
he denied or granted the application, his
motives would be equally open TO mis-
construction. The pardoning power
cannot be delegated to a third person.
When lawyer becomes Judge, and a
case in which be has been engaged comes
before him, he will decline to hear it,
and some other Judge will take bis place.
But the Governor Of the Stat9 cannot 90

PROHIBITING MALARIA.

The Temperance Worker, speaking of
our recent term of Court says:
In the General Presentment the Grand
Jury made the following recommenda-
tion:
"We herewith present the petition, and
recommend that such action be taken by
ths proper authorities to stop the rice
farms. in that township and secure the
health of the community"
We do not present this matter with the
intention of disappearing the recon-.
mendation. No. By all means let the
nuisance be abated and the safety of the
citizens of the sections named be secured.
But, here is the point. Rice is legiti.
mate article of produce and merchandise.
The fields producing it are private prop
erty. 1t is in every sense of The word a
protected and wholesome industry. But
when the means necessary to produce it
engender malaria aad endanger health,
it should be placed under the law of
nuisances.
What about the bar room nuisances of
Anderson and Pendleton? Have not
people complained about them as public
nuissnces, engendering the worst forms
of moral malaria, affecting not the bodies
alone, but the morals and very souls of
men? Have not large numbers of the
best people of the place voted against
them and now desire to do so again
Has not the Legislature been appealed
to for protection? What has come of it
all? A small class of the citizens of
Anderson have paid a premium to con-
tinue the moral malaria producing busi-
ness, that they may reap a living and
prostitute their customers. When will
the people recognize the fact that all
whiskey shops are the greatest factors in
producing diseases which neither law,
medicine, nor moral suasion can arrest
The Worker makes good point in
these remarks, which our readers will
doubtless perceive. We can only say to
our contemporary that we believe Ander-
son County is fully as alive to the fearful
moral malarial poison emanating from
the whiskey shops as she is to the dan.
gers of physical malaria. 1t is only a
question of time, and short time at
that, we believe, until we will have

foreign mission will be rendered q promi.
inent South Carolinian at an early day,
and that this appointment will result in
the promotion of others now holding
high responsible State positions. This.
information comes 50 direct and from SO

ted to name the positions and the men,
but I have learned from, experience that
it is better to withhold names when there

thereby provide for his promotion.

bill complain that the records of

feet of delaying final action on the
bill. The measure has repeatedly
been omitted from the third read
file, and in one or tive instances
the votes upon it have been erron-
eously recorded-and Intentionally
so, they believe. The Legislature
should right these wrongs before it
adjourns, and either kill or adopt
the bill fairly, upon its merits.
This is just the way the Tax Roll
bill was treated IN this Legislature.
