The Columbis Register is the
authority for the statement that
Captain Griffith has announced his
candidacy for Superintendent of the
PeniteDtiary. Captain Griffith is
one of Lexington county's most pop
uiar citizens, successful farmer and
having business qualifications of a
high order, which pre-emiuently fits
him to successfully manage the
affairs of the State penitentiary with
credit to himself and honor to the
State. The General Assembly will
make no mistake should it place the
management of that institution under
his care.

A DIFFERENCE WITHOUT 4
DISTINCTION.

It seems to US that the Columbia
Evening Record does some very fine
hair splitting in ezcusing itself Tor
the want of consistency in condemn
ing an alleged act Of nepotisn on
the part of Governor Ellerbe and
remaining silent when Congressman
Norton did positively and beyond all
peradventure commit the act by sp-
pointing the son of his own brother
his private secretary. II may be
true that Congressman Norton did
not violate the letter of the law, but
he certainly did great violence to its
spirit. The intent of the law is to
prevent by forbidding State and
other officers having patronage at
their disposal from appointing per
sons connected with him by ccnsan-
guinity or affinity within the sixth
degree. We neither defended nor
condemned Governor Eilerbe for ap-
pointing Mr. Evans his private sec
retary because We were fully per
suaded that he knew the law and
the relationship his beneficiary bore
to him, and knew that he would not
knowingly violate any law to benefit
no person. We only intended to call
attention of the Record in condemn
ing the act of one person about which
there are doubts as to the correctness
OF the Records position and its ST.
lence concerning the act of another
about which there is no doubt as to
the relationship of Congressman
Norton and his secretary. The COM
ment of the Record so plainly showed
its enmity to the one and friendship
for the other that we could not help
remarking upon it.
The opening sentence of the ex-
PLANTATION of the Record is unfair,
and unjust.
It is true that Governor Eilerbe did
an act for the editor of this paper
which he can never forget and will
always feel under lasting obligations
to him, and we would be a traitor
to every principle of manhood did
We not feel thus. But this does not
justify the Record in Juggling a
purely personal and unfortunate
family matter, in which the pub
lie has no concern whatever, into
a discussion of a political nature
We support Governor Ellerbe be-
cause his Administration has been
clean and pure, upon which no one
can place finger upon blot; be-
cause according to established prece-
dsnt he is entitled to re- e-election; be-
cause his public and private life has
been above reproacb, and because nc
better man can be found for the
place.
