WINNSBORO, S. . Thursday, December 6, ; 187" b. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associate Editor, CONSIDEIRAiLE dissatisfaction lan been expressod with the comipara tively light sentence passed by Judge Townsend upon Cardozo and Cass Carpenter. The Columbia Register answers this by showin.g that the crimes of which these worthics wore convicted are offbnces against the common law. As the penitentiary is provided for punish mont only in the case of statutoly offences, it would have been illegal to send the two prisoners to the penitentiary. They must sulffer the common law punishment of fine and imprisonment in jail. And as the convictions wore upon merely ono of a number of indictments, the punishment in this instance was deemed sufliciont for the present. IT IS 'rUE that John J. Patterson porformed the one decont act of his life in voting for 1.o admission of Senator Butler; but this does not blot out the fact that he holds by fraud and bribery the soat which entitled him to the vote. We much mistako the tempor of the people if Patterson is forgiven by theim. They demand stern retribution in his caso ; and will not be satisfied until ho is a convicted felon, or ele haB fled from the SCato Chamber to some secluded spot where a South Carolina constable cannot catch him. The talk about an "unholy alliance" is all stufi. The Democratic official in South Caroli na who would ondeavor to shield Patterson would have a rough row to hoo himself. Railroads, It appears probablo from the reports of the proceedings of the Logislature that tho whole subject of railroads will be freely discussed by that botly. Mr. -(14iauvdi a Fairfield, has already introduced a bill to amend the charter of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and another bill provent ing discrimination in freights. Other members have introdueod moasures of a similar tendency. As we understand it, thle act re lating to the C, C. & A. RI. R. is for the purpose of rest oring the old way of voting by the stockholders. The original charter, granted by, the Legislatutres of Sou thI Carolina, Georgia and Northl Carolina, p)ro vided that every share was entitled to a vote, up to a certain number, and a person holding a greater niumber of shazres was to have his votes redulced to a cert.ain propor0 tion. This was for tho b)encilt of the small stockholders, and to pro-C vcnt the absorption of power by a ring. A Rladical Legislature of this State amended the charter so that each share is entitled to a vote, and any ono holding a majority of shares controls a mie.jority of the votes. This amendmer .,was not passed, it is alleged, by the Legisla tures of the adjoining States, and the present bill is for the purpose of repealing the amendmnent here, and restoring the old system of voting, so that tihe smaller stock holders may have a voice. Tihe other legislation is general ,in its application, and is directed to the prevention of discrimination by the railroads in tihe matter of freights. At present freights are higher to intermediate than to torzninal points of railroads, tihe object being to cut downi where there is competition, and to pile en where there is none. The Legisla turn will doubtless enact a lawv that the freight between an,v two points in the Stato shall not be greater than it is betw~een one of the. points and another, more distant. In other wvords freight from Winnsboro to Columbia shall not be greater than freight between Chester and Co-, lumia~j Something of theO sort is noeded. Under the present man-. agemept, afew localities are bone fited and the rest sustain serious damage. ,if the Legislature acts prudently, and does niot err in the opposite -extreme, some salutory legislation concernMng internal.comn 1essrs.
