GOVERNMENTAL ECONOMY.

We arc afraid that tho tendency of
romc Of the members Of the Legislat-
IRE to economize may be carried too
Ear, but trust that the conservative ele-
ment Of our General Assembly, which
seems now to preponderate, may keep in
check all wild economists.
We are as:.stannch advocates Of econ
omy as any one can be. But our un-
~derstanding of economy is not the Mig
gardly doling oat of State Offices to the
lowest bidders. We believe that our
State officers should be men Of un-
doubted culture and refinement, and we
also believe they should be paid such a
salary as wauld put them above and be-
yond temptation.
The bill recently introduced in the
Legislature to make a wholesale reduc-
zion in the salaries Of State officers has
me- with its proper fate in being killed
so early. When the bench Of South
Carolina is to be let to the lowest bidder
who but q jack-leg lawyer, or sheist-
err, will condesccnd to sit upon it.
When that day does come. it were bet
ter for vs.. If God in his mercy would
wipe our State from the face Of the
earth. 10 that future generations, bone

PROHIBITION.

It strikes US that much valuable time
ia taken up in our Legislature in dis
cussing useless prohibition bills. Take
the Anderson bill for instance. we
would like to know how much "dryer'
the most ardent Prohibitionist could
wish that county. Since the recent
election at Anderson Court House, II
we are rightly informed, after the first
of January, no liquor will be sold legal
w within the borders Of Anderson
county. Now what, more could they
want? What is the use Of consuming
valuable time in the Legislature discus
sing a measure which is virtually settled
at least for one year? Are the Pro-
hibitionists afraid to,Eabids the years
trial 1t looks very much that way.
The ~sa,ne;.is true,of Abbeville.. county.
Whv force q measure and an issue on
our people when we already have legis-
lation enough ON tho subjcctf Why
not wait and see how Anderson does as
. dry county before forcing the issue on
US? We are not opposed to prohibi-
ton, and do not wish to be so construed
but we are opposed. to any.-further. leg
i~siation on the subject, and do not think
1t will rebound to the good OF u u
ty, either morally, socially OF political
Nv. We believe we are suffering now
from too much legislation. and that in
the house Of our friends. We ought to be
saved from any further infection on
that score.
Crazcs, even though popular, are not
always right. and we think this prohibi-
ton movement amounts to little more

1IsAND JURIES.

We hope the bill introduced by Mr..
Aldrich, in reference to Grand Juries
will become law. We think the bill a
good one, and believe it will serve q
good purpose.
The proposed bill makes the Grand
Jury = continuing body. 1t provides for
the drawing in 1883 of two venires of
nine each. one Of the venires to serve for
one year and the other for two years
Each year after that only nine grand
Jurors will be drawn to serve for two
years. Thus on every panel there will
be nine old Jurors and nine new ones.
The old ones will be familiar with coun.
~ affairs and its duties generally, and
business will be more readily dispatch
ed. Any reform attempted, will have
two years for its completion and q more
Sigilant watch can be kept upon public
finances.
The bill is a good ono and It ought to
pass both houses,

DEATH OF GOVERNOR PERRY.

Many South Carolinuns will be panied
to learn Of the death Of this noble "old
Roman." which occurred at his resi-
dence, near Grccnville. on last Friday
morning.
Gov. Perry has been prominent in the
State for a number OF years, though
l~atterly he has led a retired life. His
opinions however, have always been
respected, for it WAS known that he
was conscientious in expressing them.
Governor Perry was the Provisional
Governor Of this State Immediately after
the war, and did all that he could to
restore the peaceful condition which
was our wont before those stormy times.
In his death the State has lost one Of
her ablcst and most patriotic sons.
Peace to his ashes.

THE BAR ASSOCIATION.

The second annual meeting Of the
South Carolina Bar Association was
held in Columbia last week. The annual
address was made by Judge Cooley, Of
Michigan, and was a most scholarly
one. Several Of our contemporaries
want to know why a hue and cry is not
raised against this association. as was
against the Farmers Convention. Proba-
bly, they would not have to dive deep to
find out. Upon n little reflection it will
be seen that politics were not mentioned,
and they only discussed matters pertain
ing 10 their profession. II the farmers
had done the same thing, we venture the
assertion that there is not a paper in the
State but what would have commended
that action. We wonder if they see the
difference now.

A Negro Lynched.

A negro named Caesar Robinson was
lynched at Florence Tuesday night for
attempting an outrage upon a young
white girl.
We learn that the intended victim of
the negro was walking unattended along
the railroad, about two miles from Flor
ence, rs was her custom, when he made
the attempt. Fortunately at that moment
some white boys came out Of the woods
near by. upon which tn. negro, evident
ly under the apprehension that grown
persons were in the vicinity, made his
escape. The girl returned to Florence,
where her futher and brother work in
the railroad shops, and she reported tho
occurrence.
his all TRANSFERRED about 10 O'Clock
last Monday morning. That night a
party Of citizens caught the negro on a
material train when they bound him and
took him to the guard house. He de-
MED his guilt, but on Tuesday he was
taken to the girls home where he was
positively identified. He claimed that
his brother looked like him and prob
tbly he was the guilty party. but tho
agirl knew her assailant. At any rat
Robinson was taken beck to prison and
his brother taken before the girl, who
promptly acquitted him Of the crime.
Tuesday, about 6 P. NJ. the lynchcrs
began to assemble, seeing which negroes
lso gathered in front Of the guarde
ahouse to defend the prisoner. Th
lynchers, however. attacked the rear OF
the prison and in a short time hanged
Robinson to q tree in the yard. Several
shots were fred by negroes at the lynch
Ing party, but volley from the latter soon
put them to fight.-Columbia Evenina

special order, his bill providing that q tuition
fee Of 1850 be charged students in the South
Carolina College. This bill had been u~nfavor-
ably reported by the judiciary committee. A
minority, one-third OF the committee had re-
ported n favor Of q tuition fee of$50. Senator
Edwards moved to indefinitely postpone the
report Of the committee and take up thu bill.
Upon this he made a forcible speech, d~evoting
himselflargely to the constitutional and legal.
aspects Of the proposition.
Senator Edwards speech lasted for 40 hour
and . half. At its conclusion. Senator lxlsr
