inc the supposed Iunatic, all OF whom
declined to serve, on account Of the above
section 10 in the neH law. The lunatic
was left on tho hands of Justice Blease,
bu. he was equal 10 the emergeLey. He
committed the violent and unfortunate
man TO Jail on the charge of breach of
the peace, al no one would Sign bis bond
for orderly conduct. Just here the trou.
BILE arises. If every physician in the
State refuses to examine supposed luna.
tics because Of the penalty and indignity
in the law as quoted, and all other Trial
Justices follow the example Of Justice
Blease Of Newberry, our County jails
will be converted into howling pandc.
moniums, and every County will have its
own insane asylum on n small scale.
Justice Bleasc wrote to Governor Thomp.
soE for instructions, but the Governor
replied that he had none to give. All
he c0uiC do was TO see .Gat the laws were
faithfully administered.
We regard the provisions of section 2
Of this Act as unreasonable, unjust and
unfortunate, ard the Newberry case
clearly shows the effect of such legisla.
ton. The medical profession in this
State is composed of an honorable body
of men, who would have been conscicn-
!ious and careful in carrying out an Act
prescribing the character Of patients to
be sent to the Asylum without the i'm.
position Of the penalty. Under this
Act the fact that a pbyaician is honest
in his opinion is no protection to him.
II he is mistaken he incurs the penalty.
lie is moreover liable to prosecution
whether ho is right or wrong, aud any
dissatisfied relative or friend of the
alleged lunatic might prosecute and
thereby annoy and run to expense the
phyoician making the examination.
whether he is right or wrong. Under
these circumstances we do not wonder
that physicians refuse to examine luna.
tics. 1t would be just rs reasonable and
perhaps more beneficial to mako It o
criminal offense for G member Of the
Legislature to vote fora bill which was
| not beneficial to the people. IF the
physicians genoraily act like those Ia
Nevberry, it will prove burdensome to
the people, and great wrong and in.

sun ha, been shining, but still the resPi'
ration from the passengers inside the
cars kept the ga's so glazed with ice that
VIC could not see out through the glass.
The snow is from Is inches to four feet
deep; in some places the fences are near

house to day where tie snow WAS banked
up to the roof on one side. 1t is o grand
sight to see the great snow-plow throw
ing the snow sometimes as high as the
top Of the engine, turning it over off tho
track, in the same manner that the
Double Jack pow turns the soil. This
great snow. plow is attached to the front
of the mammoth wrecking engine that

men, who have to get out and cut through

MIR. EDITOR: / understand from good
authority that some Of our Representa-
tives decline to give an account Of their
stewardship during the last session of the
Legislature. Now, while they were beg
ging the good people Of this County TO
give them q job in Columbia, they said
that they would do it to the best Of their
ability. They went 10 Columbia pledged
to do all iu their power for Anderson
County. With all of these fair promises,
made in every Township, in the presence
of all the good people, we agreed to
give them out of our money five dollars
per day for serving in the Legislature
Now, gentlemen, what have you doue for
u.s. Have you given us value received
for our five dollars? Give us al account
Of your labors. understand that some of
the members will only give an account Of
their labors when forced to do 80 by the
people, but will not answer Mr.. Murrsy's
demand. As citizen Mr. Murray has o
right to know why the petition for An
election on the prohibition question was
80 cruelty treated by our Representatives;
and l, as one of the thousand petitioners,
| demand the reason the election was not
authorized. This in the only thing for
which tho people petitioned you directly.
Tell US about it. You have been called
on often enough. Why not answer ?
Remember, you can only go Que time
more under the present contract.

- The Columbia correspondent of the
Ners and Courier, writing under date Of
the 10th inst, says: can Arkansas man
visited Columbia yesterday, procured
copy of the South Carolina eightbox
election law, had it's workings expound.
ed to him by a menber of the Richland
delegation in the House, and carried the
statute and the information with him
back to Little Rock, where the Legisla.
ture is in session. He said that the peo.
pie iu Arkansas had heard of the efficacy.
Of the South Carolina law apd that efforts
would be made to secure its adoption by
the Legislature. Arkansas, he remarked,
was Democratic State, but it might not
remain so much longer if the negro i'm.
migration was continued. 1t was, there.
fore, thought tha; an eight. box law
would be useful, and would besides
! make tie South Carolina negroes feel ct
home when they reached their destina-
lion. South Carolina, you see, continues
to influence the country in the matter Of
maintaining civilization"

Mr.. Huske says that the result this year
has been much more satisfactory than
that Of any previous year. The total
number of young fish caught from the
ponds was 1850, with 165 breeders. The
young fish are for distribution, but have
already been engaged.to applicants.

HOW THEY STOOD.

Courage of Their Convictions and nre

hIR. sCuDpAY.s REPLY.

Mr.. EDITOR: Some time ago, In com
menting OH the petition sent by large
number of the citizens of this County to
tho Legislature, asking for County vote
on the Sale of Ardent Spirits within the
County, you stated that had introduced
the bill as petitioned for. This gave to
tho public information CD to how stood
on the measure. Until your last issue, /
deemed it unnecessary to appear in the
columns of the INTELLIGENCER In refer.
ence to the matter. Now you call on
inc, in behalf of the people of the
County, to answer certain questions. Let
mo say, that recognize the right of the
people at any time, and In any way, to
have me is si:sis representative &c give
them an account Of my stewardship in
ths Legislature. I am ready at any
time to 30 inform them. 1t IL best for
me to do so, and then they can judge for
themselves whether or not nm a "profit.
able servant"
The bill referred to was reported 10 the
House without recommendation, for the
reason that majority of the delegation
in the House could not be- obtained
favoring favorable report.
Mr.. Watson and myself favored q
favorable report,
My action In tho matter was based on
the grounds that the people have con.
stitutional right 10 petition any depart
ment of the government, whenever t.
them it may appear necessary ; and when
ever they did 90 with D petition Of
sufficient atrength, that then those whe
were their agents or Representatives were
officially bound to obey them provided
| Of course, that what was asked for did
not conflict with the fundamental laS oil
the land. '''.s''.s ~ II
The petitions IN question I considered
exceedingly strong, and we're sisued by 0
large number Of the beat citizens Of the
County They certainly did not ask fol
anything but what ,onld he constitution,
ally granted. have alwaya said In pub
lie, an we'll as In private life, that 10 Q
msmber of the Legislatnre'I could no,
support prohibition measure for Auder
con County over the heads Of the people
Il would not be TO tho interest of th,
cause Of Temperance to do so. But tha,
! Thought when the. people Of The County
demanded u right 10 be heard, and they
decided the question for themselves, thai
then 1t was nothing but right fot ths
Legislature to carry out their Wishes BY
suitable legislation. = "
