THE MESSAGE.
Comments on the Presidents Pa
cific Railroad DeIiverance.

cific Railroad DeIiverance.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-In regard to the
presidents Pacific railroad message the
Tribune says:
The president has accompanied his
transmission to congress of the reports
of the Pacific railroad commission with
message remarkable for what it does
not say. He evidently approached the
writing of it uncertain whether to be a
demagOgue or statesman. He seemed
to perceive the opportunity offered him
by the majority report to be states
man, but the strain against nature
which such course would have re-
Quired even when it was laid out for
him by others with all the exactnesS of
detail of a civil engineer chart, was
seemingly too much. He could not be
all a statesman, and he contrived to
avoid being as much of demagogue as
his friend Mr.. PattisOn desired He
filled many pages of manuscript with
mild abuse of the railroad managers
and concluding by advising congress to
do what it thinks best.
1t is, as the president says, high time
that the troublesome complications sur
| rounding this subject were settled
finally. They could have been so set
| tied long ago but for the demagOgy and
worse than blind nonsense of his party
| in congress. He has done all he dareS
| to make the settlement still more diff
cult by patting the demagogues on the
back, and by efforts to strike dramatic
| attitude as the champion of the people
against the robbers" who have en-
| riched the public treasury and built the
| great Western states. He does wisely,
| however, to stop bit of stage play, and
| having struck his attitude, to leave
congress to deal with the question as it
| thinks best.
| The World says:
The presidents message accompany
ing the reports of the Pacific railroad
commission, though non-committal on
some points, will give general satisfac-
ton. If the line of policy marked out
| in it is adopted by congress there need
be no complaints of the subsequent leg
| iSlation.
The Times:
He cOmmends the matter to the atten-
ton of congress without even making
specific recommendation in regard to it's
| treatment, cOntenting himself with law
ing down few plain principles as the
result of such consideration as he has
been able to give to it. = These
suggestions are pertinent enough, but
we have no faith that they will be acted
upon; and it is doubtful whether, i'm
view of the liberal construction given
by the courts to the rights of the cOrpo-
| rationS, legal obstacles would not be
thrown in the way of carrying them out
which would prove inSuperable.

WHIPPING IN THE PENITENTIARY.

The AbbeyilIe Press and Banner
last week stated that reports were Z
circulation to the effect that g young
white woman in the penitentiary, who
lad violated some slight prison rule,
had been tied, stripped, and best, by
s. penitentiary officer. The newspa-
oer men OF Columbia Immediately in
Yestigated the report, and found the
rumor totally unfounded. There are
only two white women in the pepiten-
tiary. Belle Hutchins, from Walhal-
ia, fifteen years for arson, and May
Robinson, from Cheraw, three years
for adultery. These two women were
interviewed privately by the report
sers, and they said they had never
been whipped, nor had they known OF
sny other white woman who had been
whipped. One of them said she knew
of some eolored women who had been
whipped, but in their opinion they
deserved it. No whipping of women
had been done lately. Captain Sigh
sssted that women were seldom WHIP
ned, and never stripped to be whip
ped, but the lash was put on them
soyer their clothes. The instrument
used for whipping is marrow strap,
eighteen inches long and three-fourths
of an inch wide, attached to a handle
twelve inches long. The male prison
ers are whipped with similar strap.
only broader, and they are stripped
at the waist. the lash being put on
their bare shoulders. Fifteen lashes
is a maximum punishment, but gen
orally only FIVE or ten lashes are CIV
en-. When asked how many male
eonyicts on an average were whipped
each year or month, the Captain could
not say, but said the number was
barge. That the penitentiary was Like

every day Aere was the necessity for
the infection q this species of pun
ishment on some of the inmates. He
added that none we're abused, or
whipped sufficiently to in any way IN
iure them, and repeated his first state
ment that the prison officers had
nothing to conceal. What they did,
they did under the law, in q proper
and legal way, and only did it when
Il was necessary.
The newspaper reporters seem sat-
isfed that no undue punishment IS IL
Aicted. AS far as our information
goes, the conyicts who are kept in the
penitentiary are treated very humane

THAT PENSION LAW.

We have received two commanica-
tons concerning a recent editorial
on the pension law. One OF them we
publish elsewhere. The other writ
ten by "One Legged Confederate
Soldier" OF Bethlehem, is SO unintelli-
gible that we cannot tell whether he
fa7ors or opposes what We said. We
must ask him to get some friend
who is better rersed in the English
language. to write his communica-
tions, so that we can understand what
he wishes to say, and We will then
publish his article with pleasure.
The editorial as written expresses
our sentiments exactly. We do not
know who Mr.. Edwards is, but we
hope he is not a member Of that class
he attempts to defend, s:lazy, idle, shift
less men, immoral in their character,
unwilling to work, loa6ng around the
country, accumulating no property,
going IN debt where they can. and
never paying debt when they can
avoid It. That is the class We said
would come largely under the benefit
of the pension law as it stands, and
the class that least deserves it. OF
course We do not mean that every
individual viii embrace all these evil
qualities, but we refer to those to
whom most or any Of these epithets
are applicable. We said substantial
", since the State could not pension
l who 50 gallantly fought and bled
sor sheir loved State, then penson the
few, uery fen, in each county, who are
really unable to earn support. We
said that because a man by hard
work accumulated some little prop
erty, Eve hundred or even a thousand
dollars, was no reason wig lie should
get nothing. Not infreQuently such
q man is most worthy of assistance.
a large family dependent on him
naay make him much mora worthy
of help than some other man who
owns less.
Not very long ago we were talking
with number Of gentlemen about
the pension law, and the impractica.
bility Of the State paying pension
to all who would come under this
law. Some one suggested That, as s
rule, above all other claimants, she
widows of the soldiers should receive
first attention. Every one in the
crowd, with the exception of a one
legged Confederate soldier, agreed
with this sentiment. He said pen.
son the wounded soldiers first, ther
let the residue go to the widow This
ignoble sentiment was Kissed dowr
by every man who heard it. Anc
s what are the conditions of this sol
der? A man with one leg left OF
the battlefield Of Virginia, but bin
self yet IN the vigor Of life, no famil,
or person dependent on him, and il
good health, and a tolerabiy fai
education. We have no hesitation il
saying such q person is not as deserv
ing OF beip as some poor W3doW Wo
man, who lost her stay and supper
when her husband fell on the field
S with, his face to the foe. IF the Stats
were able We would say give LIBERAL.

pendent of that soldier /; but since tn
STATE is not able, we say it seem
hard that not infrequently the mos
deserving should be left without as
sistsnce.
