LET THE Law TAKE ITS COURSE.

Some people and papers in the State are
raising the hue and cry of WHOLESALE
~butchery," and calling on the Governor
to commute to Imprisonment in the PEN
itentiary the sentence of the ten negroes
who were recently convicted in Laurens
Of numbering one Of their " race and
condemned to hang.
A petition has been presented the Gov
ernor asking that a negro recently con-
victed of numbering a white girl near
Columbia, and sentenced to be hanged,
be imprisoned in the Penitentiary in
stead.
A counter petition has been presented
in this last case praying the Governor to
refrain from interference in the negroes
behalf.
South Carolina has a law on her Statute
Books embodying the S%criptural COM
mand, "whoso sheddeth mans blood, by
man shall his blood be she'd" and there
is not a better law in existence. AS an
abstract proposition, the law should be
enforced, or promptly repealed. We are
not one of those who favor the abolition
of capital punishment, and therefore have
no sympathy with those squeamish sem
timents entertained by some against
hanging, or otherwise killing, murderers
after a due legal process.
The fact that so large a number as ten
men are to be hanged at once, and for the
killing of one man, does not change our
ideas of justice, or justice itself. 1t rather
~aggravates the case-ten killing one.
The murderers in question were tried
and convicted before impartial juries and
Judges, in whose breasts both the quality
and quantity of mercy, we presume, was
as strong as in the breasts of those who
clamor for interference by the Governor.
Let the law as established by conscien-
tious juries and righteous Judges be en-
forced to the letter. Let those who seem
outraged by such a course, imagine them
selves, or some one dear to them, the VIC
tim of the murderer. That will test the
sincerity Of their appeals for "mercy,"

The water in the Mississippi River
and its tributaries is the lowest aver
known. The Ohio is fordable in many
places where steamboats, usually run, and
business is at a standstill on account of
lack of transportation. Along the upper
Mississippi the bayous are drying up and
fish are dying in myriads. The low stage
of water is the result Of the drouth of the
past FIVE months, and more serious results
than those already shown are apprehend-
ed.

We have heard an Ex-Confederate,
himself a brave soldier, say that General
Kershaw (who is now holding Court here)
was remarkably calm and self-possessed
under fire during a battle, and always
undemonstrative. When the battle was
raging and victory was wavering between
the foes, Gen. Kershaw invariably caught
the brim of his cap between his thumb
and fingers and settled it firmly upon his
head. He seemed to do this unconscious
" and from the force of habit. He was a
gallant soldier, and his men loved him
dearly. .

TEE TAX ON FINE COTTON,

The Charleston Mems and Conrier ssysthat
at the next session of Congress Represen-
tative Elliott, from South Carolina, will
introduce a bill to place tariff duty on inn
ported cotton sufficient to cover the in
creased labor cost in this country. He
sees no reason why agricultural products
should not receive whatever benefits
come from the tariff, or why imported
cotton, amounting annually to several
million dollars in value, should not con-
tribute its share towards the expenses Of
the Government.
The imports Of Egyptian cotton in 1890
81, a~ccornine to the Boston Journal Of
Commerce., amounted to 20, 9O0 900 pounds.
The New York Dry Goods Economist
estimates that $4,000 600 in gold or its
equivalent was sent to the Egyptians for
fine cotton during the year. This cotton
comes into direct and hurtful competition
with the fine cotton grown in South Car
DINA and other Southern States. We r
utterly opposed to the doctrine of Protec-
ton, but SC long as the tobacco growers
of Connecticut receive the benefit Of q
duty Of S7.65 a pound on the products Of
their fields, which the farmers Of the
South pay in part, 1t Is only fair that the
growers of fine cotton in the South should
receive like benefit from the tariff laws.
If Protection is a good thing for the to-
bacco growers in Connecticut, Protection
ought to be a good thing for the cotton
growers in South Carolina. E
Representative Elliott desires, as far 40
possible to remove the Inequalities o the
tariff system, and to make the Southern
planters share in equal degree the benefits
which the tobacco growers enjoy under
the Mckinley Act. We have sought in
vain to obtain from our esteemed con.
temporaries, the Philadelphia Press, Boston
Journal of Commerce, and the Ne1 York
Dry Goods Economist, an expression Of their
views in regard to placing a heavy duty
on imported fine cottons. The silence
which they continue to preserve is almost
painful, but it appears to be a silence
which cannot be broken. The Nao York
Press, one Of the principal organs Of the
Protectionists, says very frankly ''that
whenever 1t is shown to be to the interest
| Of the American people that fine cotton
should be protected, Republicans will be
found voting for a duty on the imported
| and competing article"
We have no doubt that Representative
Elliott, who has been investigating the
subject, will be in a position to convince
our contemporary Of the justice Of taxing
Egyptian cotton, and we shall expect the
| RepublicanIcontingent in the next House
to vote for the Elliott Bill.
The duty on Egyptian cotton, like the
duty on Sumatra tobacco, should be made
| p~rohibitory. This will work a hardship,
we know, upon the manufacturers Of fine
cotton goods in the New England States,
but it will be truly Republican, and, Of
course, the Republican members of Con-
| gress will vote for 1t.

In the election of Maj. John F. Finken,
Performer" to the m~ayoralty of Charles
ton wei Mayor Bryan, Irregular" the
"Regulars" ("Ringsters,") seem to have
met with an unexpected and severe de-
feat. "Rotation" is the order Of the day.
Maj. Finken's record is a good one, and
he will doubtless make a good;mayor.
Rotation is not a bad policy, and we be-
lieve that Charleston will not suffer by a
practical operation Of this principle,
however capable an officer Mayor Bryan
may have been. 1t is now a favorable
time for the Charleston people to get to-
gsther, cease their quarreling and look
after the growth and prosperity of their
city, like Anderson is doing, for instance.

A Great Bull Fight In The City of Mex.
leo,

-
City OF MEXICO, Oct. 2O.-The revi-
val of bull fighting in the City of Mex
leo Sunday was in the name of Char
ity. A committee of ladies of this CAPT
tai, with Mrs. Disz, wife of the Presi.
dent, at their head, organized it for the
benefit of the sufferers from the foods in
Spain. TWAS n of the greatest spec
tacles ofthe Mexican national sport ever
witnessed on the North American cont.
nent.
The time set was 2:30 in the afternoon.
For en- hour previous, San Francisco
street, the Avinda Juarez and the Pas Eo
De La Reforms presented a most ami
mated scene. Carriages of every degree
from the landaus of ministers and sena.
tors, with cockades and liveries, down to
the commonest hacks, jostled together on
the way to the bull fight. A stream of
pedestrians bent on the same errand filled
the side walks, while from balconies and
house tops thousands watched the passing
!hrong. At the Plaza de Torres people
came from every direction, but 80 perfect
were the police arrangements that no
difficulty or disorder wa encountered,
AID the human tide poured into the great
smphitheatre without delay or discom-
fort. 1t is estimated that there we're H.
900 people inside the Enclosure. Two
military bands were wresent and four
companies of infantry served to insure
good order. A long row of seats intended
for President Diaz and his party, the COM
mittee of ladies and their friends and the
members of the Spanish Casino were
decorated with bunting, the Spanish COL
ors and palm branches.
Presently a roll from the drums, a
flourish of trumpets, followed by the a
tional hymn by the band outside the
amphitheatre, announced the arrival of
the President of the republic. His ap-
pearance in his box was the signal for
enthusiastic cheers from the spectators,
salutes by the soldiers, and a repetition
OF the national hymn by a band inside
the enclosure. The applause was genu.
inc and universal. Hundreds of minia-
ture Spanish and Mexican flags we're un-
furled end waved by the people during
the hosting of the Mexican ensign in
front of the presidential box. The Pres
ident was evidently in excellent health
and spirits, and advancing to the front of
the box, and acknowledged the cordial
reception. Accompanying the President
were Mrs. Diaz, the committee of ladies,
and a brilliant company composed Of
the very cream of Mexican society.
Nine bulls of celebrated breed were
killed amid the braves of the spectators.
The animals had been trained for The
occasion, and many of the matsdors had
many narrow escapes. President Diaz
and party left the ring during the killing
of the eighth bull. The banderillos that
had been stuck into the bulls were, after
the fight, sold by peddlers at ~extravagant
prices.
This wasone of the greatest Gghts that
Mexico has seen for years, and the
amount received for admission fees is
supposed will reach S25, 900. The great
crowd was demonstrative, but good-natur.
