LYNCH Law,

We are decidedly opposed to lynch
law. It savors of misrule, oflawless-
ness, of anarchy, and it should not be
upheld or tolerated in any civilized
community. We can see how that in
new communities, where, as it were,
every mans hand is against his neigh
Dor, and the community itself is made
up of lawless persons, there may very
well exist vigilance committees,
which in themselves constitute prose
cutor, Judge, jury, and executioner.
But we cannot see the need of such in
any community containing a duly or
ganized court Of justice. In the heat
Of passion, when the blood runs hot,
is no time to judge and decide calmly
and carefully the merits of case in
yolving life and death, more especially
when, as in most OF such cases, the
persons engaged in such an affair, con-
sist OF the least reliable portion of the
community. In almost every case the
law should be allowed to take its
course, Il, however, such a case
should arise as to demand immediate
punishment-the community feels
that fellow mans life must pay the
penalty Of some Infamous crime, then
let that community arise as one man,
in all the strength and wisdom of its
oldest and best citizens, and in broad
day light, with full consciousness of
doing right, let the deed be done. We
doubt not but that many innocent
men are hanged by these self-consti-
tuted regulators Human lie, it is
true, is held too cheap in South Caro-
lima, but then whose fault is it? Is it
not the fault of the people themselves?
Is it the solicitor or the judge who
fails to do his duty? Is it not the
jury, nen from tie same county as the
accnseds We repeat it that human
life is held exceedingly cheap in this
State, but then the people themselves
are to blame. Whenever the juries
of South Carolina do their duty, it
viii cease to be reproach upon the
State that justice cannot be had.
And now the matter has come to 8
critical point, and one that will cause
every sober-minded man to think it is
time to call q halt. To our mind, the
recent lynching in Pickens was clear
case of culpable official neglect, and
the. constable or officer responsible
for starting alone at midnight, with
prisoner charged with an Infamous
crime, and in the face Of threats of
lynching, ought to be held as an ac-
complice. True, the fellow lynched
n FseSens was a poor, worthless,
hiendless man, and if -gnilty of the
crime charged, ought to have been,
and probably would have been, hang
ed in due process of law;istill the pre-
cedent set is one that must do great
harm, unless it can be stopped.
Lynch law has reached that point
where it must cease, or throw us into
anarchy and ruin.

The Northwest Storm.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 1.-THE storms
back is broken and the railroads have
gone patiently to work to burrow
their way through the hard packed
drifts. The snow is as hard and
heavy as sand, and battles snow-plows.
The Northern Pacific trains came in
this morning eighty and fifty hours
late. One Of them had been showed
in fifty miles west of here for u hours.
The Northern Pacific has had an ex-
cellent opportunity to test rotary
snow pIows and with entire success.
Over 200 miles of track in Dakota,
with snow averaging fifteen feet deep
have been cleared by one plow in six
teen hours. This is an unparalleled
achievement.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Dispatches
from the Northwest record a number
of deaths by freezing in the recent
blizzard. A school teacher named
Miss Curtis, was frozen to death on
the way home from school at Delamoc,
Dakota. Near Sioux Falls man was
found dead standing beside his barn,
and another lay all night within half
mile of town, in snow bank, be-
tween his horses, thus saving his life.
Three children at Garrison, Nebraska,
got lost going home from school, and
remained out all night. One was dead
when found, the other two may re
cover. W. H. Headly, was frozen to
death near Barkstoo, Dakota. Two
men were frozen to death near Marys
vile, Montana. A farmer named Al
len and his son were caught near
Mitchell, Dakota, and the son was fro
zen to death, and the father will lose
both his arms. Another man is lost
in the same neighborhood. A freight
train is blockaded nine miles from
Mitchell, and the crew have had moth
ing to eat since Wednesday. In the
neighborhood of Aberdeen, Oak, ten
men were caught by the storm at diff
ferent points; four have been found
dead, and the others are probably
dead but have not been found.
The loss of live stock has been i'm
mense, some actually freezing to
death in stalls in stables. Two belat-
ed stock trains from Nebraska arrived
at st. Joseph, Mo-, last night, with
every head Of cattle dead.

For the next two months the pro-
ceedings Of Congress will be specially
interesting. The great fight on the
tariff and reduction of the surplus is
already on, and will grow hotter as the
days grow longer. The Democrats
have placed the gauntlet at the feet of
the Republicans and invited them to
the contest. The Republicans are on
the defensive, and feel the necessity of
a desperate fight,

Too Much SanctifcatiOn.

COLUMBIA, Jan. 15.-The Rev. ".
B. Shaw, Baptist minister of Edge
field, has become a raving lunatic, and
to-day he cut his throat with pocket
knife. He is convert of fthe doctrine
of sssancti6cation, and his enthusiasm
on that subject unbalanced his mind.
While Mrs. Shaw was attending fu-
neral Mr. Shaw procured tub of wa
ter, and kneeling overit offered a loud
prayer. He then plunged the knife
into his throat. The act was witness
ed by an old negro man.

Ex-Secretary Lamar was on last
Monday confirmed by the Senate by a
vote of 80 to 2S, to be an Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. The Republicans made des-
perate efforts to defeat General La
mars nomination, because he was an
ex-Confederate. It is hard, very hard
for the Yankees to get over the war
They cannot realize the fact that the
South is again in the Union, and has

The Pistol Defended.

The Sumter shooting has occasion
ed the chorus of condemnation of car
ryirg concealed weapons to be again
sung by most of the newspapers of
the State. There is g deluge of the
usual watery talk about enforcing the
law against carrying concealed weap-
ons." Some of these newspaper
writer's ought at once to be set about
the business of enforcing" this So
called law. They would, no doubt,
achieve brilliant success IN the work.
It makes one tired to see so much
about sthe cowardly practice OF car
rying concealed weapons. What
makes it cowardly to carry a weapon
concealed or exposed? It's not COW
ardly, never has been, and never will
be, to do so. Cowsrdice can only be
Justly chargeable in the use made Of
the weapon. Not few times has a
man been too cowardly to use weap-
on when he had it; many a
time has one been too cowardly to
use it effectively.
We do not approve of ofcarrying con-
cealed weapons. Ordinarily a pistol
in the pocket is a useless burden:
Strapping one about the body and
strusting around with it at this day,
is much like Don Quixote's arming
himself and going forth to battle
against the windmill. But there are
times when a pistol at hand is a good
thing to have, even in ss Stats Ct
South Carolina during the closing
years of the nineteenth century. At
such times it is neither cowardly to
carry one nor to use it, if it be well
used. Had all the parties been armed
at the Sumter affray, there would have
been in all probability, results more
in accord with right and justice than
there were-perhaps, than there will
be. Judging from the testimony pub
lished, some of the shots there fred
were in the dastardly manner of the
assassin sent on their murderous mis-
sion. One man was shot at while sit
ting unarmed upon bench, and an
other was shot in the back. For this
sort of deeds there is no excuse, no
palliation; they mark the coward and
should receive the curse.
The law against carrying concealed
weapons is the worst on the Statutes
Of South Carolina. 1t is practically
without sanction-the essential part
of every law. It merely places the
law-abidirg citizen at the mercy of
the outlaw. In every crowd of men
on a street corner there is probably
one with a pistol in his pocket. How
shall the fact be known? Shall mems
pockets be searched every day? How
IS the claw" to be enforced p Where
will be the protecting arm of the law
when the pistol is drawn to do its
deadly work? What did the Sheriff
If Sumter do when the firing beganin
;he Justices Office? What would have
been the result if Geo. Johnstone had
gone without bis pistol the morning
If the shooting for which he has been
tried? The law has no right
% disarm one man that another may
shoot him with impunity.
Are the people of South Carolina
children, that they must be disarmed
% prevent their doing mischief
Let US have less talk about the
scowardly practice of carrying con-
,ealed weapons" let US have right
,ous punishment for the cowardly and
use of the weapon. It is
lere the law should and can be en-
orced if proper effort is made.-Wl-

The Louisiana State Democratic
convention has nominated Nichols for
Governor. It adopted platform en-

the party to economy in the State
administration; urging liberal appro-

immigration, and expressing opposi-
ton to the employment of convict La

Northern Republicans have intro

President Cleveland has enhanced
the ardor OF the Democrats in charge
of the national campaign By sending
them his check for $1,000. A very
cordial letter accompanied the presi-
dents contribution. The members of
the cabinet have also sent very liberal
contributions, and altogether from the
personal friends Of the president in
Washington $l50.Go has thus lar been
handed in. All the contributions have
been accompanied by encouraging let
tiers. One letter said that il wouldn't
be necessary for the Democrats to
threaten to "fry the fat" cut OF the
manufac .urers-that the friends Of
Mr.. Cleveland would see TO it that the
committee had all the money necessary
Tor the legitimate expenses OF the cam

from the president viii, il Is believed,
