I can but repeat what]I Ssaid *in this connection in my last ~-~iess~e, that -whatever authority -s~twith me to this end I shal] Shesitate to put forth, and I an ~wlig to forego a renewed ap pelto the Legislatures, the courts, >te xecutive authorities, and the ~ epie of the States where these a wrngs have been perpetuated, tc ~ zgve\their assistance toward bring ~" 4ig to justice the offenders and preventingarepetiUon of the crimes. No means within my power will be Sspared to obtain a full and fair in ~4vestigation of the alleged crimes, -ii:to secure the conv:etion and jist punishment of the gulity. Then comes Attorney-General Devens and pours 'out his vile skmnders upon the South, through $ the medium of his Annual Report, in the following strain: In some instances it was deemed t hv.ve been fully shown that peace InI'meetings, lawfully called for the advocacy of particular candidates ,~- or Congress, had been intruded upon ky armed1 bands, under the specious pretext of keeping the peace,. preventing by disorder and ~rdfHanism, the organization or the poper holding of such meetings. SThe Attorney-General's office is not provided with 'the means of ny general system of investigation of infractions of the laws. It de jends mainly upon the facts in in dividual cases, made by the officers of the department upon the ground 9%nd on the request for instructions i regard~ thereto. Availing myself >f these, as well as of information from those public sources which are common to all, it is apparent that- in various parts of the Union, especially in certain portions of the States of Louisiana, South Carolina, -Texas and Virginia, instances of t'na.wful combination and violence intended to prevent a free and peaceful advocacy of candidates for Congress occurrea previous to the day of election, and upon the day - of letin deliberate frands were by depositing therein before th voting was begun, or after it waE concluded, large numbers of fraud ulent ballots, and also by folding s smaller ballot within a larger onE in such away that they could bc shaken out by the voter as he d posited his ballot, or afterward by those who had the custody of thE boxes. The fraud was accomplish ed by the use of small ballots printed upon tissue paper, and was perpe trated in so many different places and with tickets so carefully pre pared and of such similarity, thal it cannot be doubted that it was th( result of an organized conspiraci of some central directing agency tc defeat the will of the people anc falsify the true result of the elec tion. The canvass and electior were accompanied in the State o: Louisiana 'y a series of cowardli and cruel murders, the only appa rent motive for which was to pre vent the colored people from exer cising their rights of suffrage These murders occurred in Caddo Tensas, Natchitoches, and othei Parishes. On the first day's session of th< present Congress, Blaine, Senato: from Maine, offered a resolutioi directing the Judiciary Committe( to inquire into and report upoi the late Congressional elections i2 the Southern States; giving sai( Committee the right to send fo persons and papers. The fraudulent Administratioi has completely changed front. Tw years ago Hayes' "Southern pol cy" was so liberal as to call fort] praise from such men as Hami .ton and Stephens. He withdrei the troops aid left us to manag our own affairs without the aii of the bayonet. What was thej pronounced his "patriotic course estranged him from the extrem Radical wing of his party, suc men as Blaine, Chandler ani Hale. Looking back, upon hi his course now, in the light of prec ent events, we can readily see it explanation. He knew that he ha< ifot been elected. He knew that th North, for the most part Republi can, wanted him inaugurated an way. He thought by recognizini the Hampton and Nicholls govert ments he would conciliate theSout and thus no part of the countr would be disposed to question hi title. It had- its desired effect; fo when a resolution to investigate hi title was offered in the last Cot gress, every Southern man in th Horse but one voted against it To-day he is cheek by jowl with th ramrpant Radicals; his heart bleed afresh for the poor negro, and hi raises his hands in holy horror a the name of the "tissue ballot." ] is all a political dodge. The can paign of 1880 has been opened ~The cry will be the "solid South, which will be made to serve th same purpose as the "bloody shirt in 1876. With this cry they hop to solidfy the North by arousini sectional prejudices and jealousie and the shout of a second rebellion Hayes, obedient to party disciplinE has fallen into line, and his "South~ ern policy " has gone up a tree. FPublic Education. The State should interfere as'lil tle as possible with private affaire The only interference that is at a] justifiable is in cases where th public good requires it, and the iu terests of the people at large ca: thereby be promoted. We thinki clearly to be the duty of the Stat to provide for the free education c its children. If the children thu educated at the public expense wer the only persons benefied, it woul< be different. In ,than case it woul, be discriminating in favor of a par against the whole. But public edt cation is a public benefit. The ric1 as well as the poor reap its advar tages. 1t is the means of raisini up a better class of citizens, an< consequently it tends to diminisl crime. It makes life and propert; more secure. We believe it to b, true economy in the long run ; tha the money it takes to educate thos< who are unable to pay for their owi education is far less than would be required to try, convict and impris on or hang them if allowed to grov up in ignorance of all moral, lega and political obligations. Schools are less expensive than jails ani penitentiaries, and the State has t< choose between them. We do no mean to say that all the educatei are free from crime, nor that all th< uneducated are criminals ; but i has been the universal experienc< of all nations that in proportion ai the people are educated crimes art dminished. By pablic educatioi wemean acommon school educa tion. This State is too poor to un dertake more, and were she ever sc prosperous it would be inexcusable extravagance to keep up a universi ty or other institution of high grad< at th~ nnbiic exnen~e. Sneh an in vide free board as well as free tui tion, and that is not to be thought of for a moment. What is needed is common school facilities within reach of every child in the State. There are thousands of children who, through no fault of their own, are unable to pay for their schooling. Among them are many diamonds in the rough-ma ny who, if given a chance, will in the future do the State good service in return. They will repay her a hundred fold for giving them an education meager though it may be. I We have, on paper, an excellent sys'em of free school education. It devolves on thte State Superintend ent of Education, the County School - Commissioners and the Trustees to look well to their duties, and to see that the free schools are managed efficiently and economically; to see that none of the school money is wasted; to insist rigidly upon the employment of competent teachers. oniy, and of only so many as are i absolutely needed. These officers have a great responsibility resting upon them. In their hands are i placed, in a very large measure, the I destinies of the rising generation. r If faithful to their trusts they can make the free schools a success and i a blessing to the State. Carrying Concealed Weapons. No law is more needed in this State than one forbidding carrying , concealed weapons. Almost every e day we hear of somebody being i shot and killed with a pistol. It is 2 the natural and almost invariable consequence now of a fight that e one or the other party engaged is killed, and frequently it happens that a disinterested person who s happens, in the course of his busi ness, to be near, is hit by a stray s bullet. The number of manslaugh ters is becoming alarmingly great, e and is evidently on the increase. So it will continue to be so long as the law allows the carrying of con Scealed weapons. If the General ' Assembly do its duty it will pass a law at the present session forbi<} ding this pernicious practice, an'd Sby fixing a severe penalty for the r violation of such law will put a stop to it, rendering thereby human life more secure. eThe Columbia Register Has come out in a more enlarged e nd attractive form. The Register s has, from its inception, maintained Sa bold, independent and influential tstand in the ranks of journalism, and we are glad to see, in this evi dence of its prosperous condition, ,that it is appreciated as it should be. Another great improvement in Sthe Register is the addition of Col. Jng. W. R~. Pope, formerly of Green ville, to the editorial staff. Col. SPope has wvon distinction already sas a journalist. With two such "quill drivers'' as Hoyt and Pope at the helm, with its enterprising pro prietors, the Register has a brilliant future before it. For Code Commissionecr. The Legislature at its present -session will probably pass a bill .providing for the revision and codi e fication of the statute laws of the State. Unless this work be done 2 well it would better be leff'undone. t And to be done well it must be en e trusted to first class lawyers. f Among such none stands higher s than J. F. J. Caldwell, of Newbery. & Laborious, painstaking and learned Iin the law, he is thoroughly quali Sfled for the work, and we hope the t Legislature will select him as one of the Commissioners. Rain ey, mulat'to Congressman .from this State, introduced a bill in the U. S. House of Representatives the 3d inst., to impose a fine of not more than $1,000 and imprisonment for not more than two years for Svoting "tissue ballots," or any other than those printed on plain white 1paper. ST. B. Fraser, of Sumter, was - elected by the General Assembly the 3d inst., Judge of the 3d Cir I cuit, to fill the vacancy caused by 3 Judge Shaw's death. His term I will last four years. state News. Rev. Toliver Robertson, a well known Baptist minister of Laurens County, died the 3d instant, in the 78th year of his age. A row took place pt Laurens Court House last Sale day in which Wmn. Kilgore was shot and killed by Alfred McNinch. During the row John W. Fowler was shot in 'the leg and Cullen Lark in the arm, and Andrew V. Eichelberger was severely cut with a knife. McNinch made his escape. FOR THE HERALD. THE SOUTH CAROLINI CONFERENCE! ITS RISE AND PROGRESS THE 93d SESSION SOME FACTS AND FIGURES By Rev. A. M. Chreitzberg. The session of the South Carolin Conference of the M. E. Church South, beginning the 11th of Decem ber 1878, in this town, is the ninet3 t*d convocation of this large and it fluential body of Christian ministerf The first Methodist Conference in th State was held in Charlcston, Marc 22d 1787, Bishops Coke and Asbur presiding. The next six annual se. sions of the body up to Decenbf 24th, 1792, were held at the sam place. Newberry County was th first place, outside of Charleston, si lected for these annual gatherings, th (ighth session convening January Is 1794-eighty-four years ago - Finchs', in the fork of the Salud and Broad River, some twelve mik from Newberry, C. H. This was th seat of the Mount Bethel Acadew founded by the early Methodist This section of the country was sel tIed by immigrants from Virgini. among whom were the Finches, t Crenshaws and Maloues. Edwar Finch gave thirty acres of land I the Institution. The buildings wer incomplete and the daily sessioi were held "in an up stairs room of ti house of Esquire Finch, twelve fe< square, narrow quarters it must I confessed for thirty preachers to o cupy, as Bishop Asburry says, to coi fer, sleep and for the accommodatic of those who were sick." Twenty-four preachers were statioi ed at this Conference. in this State at Georgia, among then, Enoch Geor. and Won. McKendre, afterwards Bis] ops, the oce on the Great Pee Dh Circuit and tbe other on Union Ci cuit. Near the close of the sessio Reubin Ellis preached and Hope Hul it is said, followed with a master] exhortation and there was ''a gre: display of the power of God." Tb membership in the church increasin from 1,645 whites .and 121 colorei reported eight years before, to 5,17 whites and 1,221 colored. A writer in the Southern Christia Advocate for 1856, statest For number of years Mt. Bethel, an Willington Academy were the oni schools of high grade in the interi< of the State, and did much in tf educational training of the youn men of South Carolina. A .numibs of leading men in the State in subst quent years were prepared for colles at Mt. Bethel, among whom wer Hion. John Caldwell, and Chancellt Jas. J. Caldwell, of Newberry Distrie Judge Earle, t4e first ex-Governt Manning, of South Carolina, Williai and Wesley Harper, sons of Re, John Harper. The first and secon classes that graduated in the Sout Carolina College,, received their pri paratory training here, also. Wesle Harper graduated in the second clas of the college and died soon afte Win. Harper graduated in the thir class (1808)and subsequently became as is well known, one of the first ju rists in the Country." Sixty years passed and the sixty eighth session of the Conferencei again held in Newberry, Novembt 23d, 18563, under the presidency < Bishop Paine. ):n this lapse of yeal the members of the body had increase to one hundred and twenty preacher: and the membership in the Chure inreased from hundreds to 32,21 whites and 42,278 colored. Eleven years more are gone and th Conference again, at its 79th sessiot convenes in Newberry, November 16 1864, under the presidency of Bisho Pierce. An increase of both preaci ers and members reported. And now the ninety-third Confei enee convenes in our town. Thi brief review of the past is sketchei to show how largely our County ha: been concerned/in the great religiou revival of the age. Methodism in our State is rapidi; approaching its centennial. A nam. given in reproach has become th honored cognomen for a system large ly developing excellencies for good Millions of garnered sheaves in heavei and millions more white to the harves in the broad fields of the world attes hat it is of God. The first little bamt 4f preachers meeting in Charleston it 1787, numbered only ten, while th< prsent body has upon its roll ove: ~wo htyndred miembers. This increast an less thaii a century within th< 3tate, large as it is, does not fully mo it real progression for it mus1 membership of the Church, while to- lege day, within the same boundary, there bet are over seven hundred preachers and whi over two hundred thousand church Per niei.bers. With this increase inI 7iew all lovers of "Christianity in earnest" div nmy exbultingly exclaim with the co on prophet as he surveyed the white tents pie of Jacob, "How goodly are thy tents, fers 0, Jacob, and thy tabernacles, 0, out Israel. Truly there is no enchant- the merit against Jacob, neither is there the any divination against Israel; accord- an ing to this time shall it be said of tho Jacob andi Israel, what hath God prii a wrought." par ____ ____ ____ ____ing The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, the In his lecture on "The wastes and cal burdens of society," claims "man's o natural life to be 80 years, and as the So average life is but 33 years, there bat e must be a waste of 47 years." There wol is much of truth in this statement. If iuh a man be unfortunate in business it is attributed to the violation of some thr comniercial law. Now, if a person be Pia, r taken off in the prime of life, ought it pel M froi e not to be attributed to the violation of ro e some physiological law ? If people vilE only knew better, they would live bet- of ter and longer; but. how can they a M tan e profit by that which they know not of? ta ;, The only popular work that meets this ail t great want is Dr. Pierce's Common fan Sense Medical Adviser.

Let it ~ e us take a diagnosis of the case. We und g find labor falling so low that starvation sep stares the laborer in the face, bringing elet 2' ominous visions of half fed, scantily mc clad wives and children; no hopes of con laying up anything for a rainy day, mei n when the iron shall have left his the a sinews and the tottering form of the hon d aged shall no longer be able to cope in the the battle of life for his daily bread, intt Sthis symptom may be eradicated by cise r more money. Then we find the rich Sou e and fertile lands which once freighted para the crafts of every sea with their dist r teeming productions, lying neglected, sta grown up in jungles, covered with say moraisses, utterly worthless. What is The e the cause of this ? The want of money. sy:r e Give us money, and the shovel, the tho. rhoe and the plough will once more nor brighten in contact-with the soil, we wh< 'will make these same lands "blossom ast ras the rose." Give us money and the I n wild Western land will be dotted with r. cities, villages and hamlets.

Examine sucl y next the pulse of our natural resources. HA a Listen closely to the respirations of I~ our great earthen breast and hear the & I chink of the gold, the clanking of the ton, iron and the crackling of the coal, with which to utilize them; wonder -at the rushing current as it passes in its mad course angrily foaming at its ling . neglected value; then ask yourself citi what is needed, the answer is money. phc SGive us money and we will probe the r earth and ferret out its resources. We. f will crown your temples with gold; unly 'a belt the earth with iron and sweep the cha seas with an iron bound navy. Give } us money and we will curb the fury a bi "of the fast rolling waters; harness Sthem to the productions of a renewed pro :industry and clothe your homeless atic orphans and vagabond (?) tramps. sele e Give us money and we will educate izat the masses; develop the latent genius o of scores of Calhouns, Websters and Clays; we will make the Halls of . p Congrees resound with the voice of tior . wisdom and echo the fiery eloquence Stal of those who will exaujlt ouir eingi- ls, try's name to the topmost pinnacle of ~the temple of fame. 8 We want money and money we dier imust have, or we must retrograde into I that position. among the nations of favc the globe which will elicit their and scorn and deprive us of what t honor we hold in their eyes.
