WINNSBORO. S. 0.
Saturday, December 8. : 1877.
R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor,
JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associate Editor.
Col.. A. C. HAsEL., has becn
choson to succeed Wright in the
Supreme Bench. This is a high
compliment aindw a r1-o".1ition of the
services Colonel taskell has ron
dered the State. To his now posi
tion ho will bring- onorgy, earnest
nosS, stkylionlnmss an11 the Iigoist
integrity. Enviatblo honom are in
store for him.
Mi. CoNNOi, of Abbeville, has in"
troduced a bill to extend tho opera
tion of the lien law for two yoars
longer, in the hope that at the expi
ration of that period the farmers
will be better able to pay down the
cash for their supplies. The temper
of the Logislature in the mattor has
yet been tested.
IN TnE EVENT of Patterson's exit
from the Senate, Governor Hampton
is, of course, the first choico of the
people, as his successor. Should he
decline to resign his guberniitorial
offico, we should bo pleased to seo
General Conner elected. Souhi
Carolina has no nobler son than lie,
and none that would rellect more
credit to her in the National Con
gress.
IT is ALL FALTAT. to talk about con -
doting Pattersni's ori'n beauo
he east ono honest, d 3cont vote ill
the Senate. Patterson disgraces
the St-tto not only as Ion -Y as ho si.
in the Son-tto, but as long as lie
enjoys im'nnity from his many
crimes. Ho was the chief of si1
nors, and de)auchod every branch
of the Radical government with
which ho came in contact. As a
correspondent oi a northern paper
wel1 sAid, there is no OMi li;l inl the
State now who would liko to face
the people on the issuo of letting
Pattorson escapo. In onr opinion
Patterson will have to come to
grief.
Balaries of State Offloers.
Attorney-General Conner has re
signed. The reason assigned is that
he cannot afford any longer to ne
glect his private buisinessi. In other
words lie could not lose three
fourths or more of his regular ins
come in the pa triotic duty of serving
the StatI.e on -a beggarly salary.
Wuhuen Cardozo was tried before the
Legislature, soveral y-ears back, lie
paidl ten thousand dollars, we are
informed, as attornoys' foes in that.
single casoe. What he and Smlls and
Carpenter paid to tb,oir attorneys
recently we do not know, but we
feel assureod that by the time the
prosecutions of all the Ihieves shall
have ended, the feo.s paidl to the
defendants' attor-neys- will amount
to five or six times the annual salary
of the attorney general. Yet it is
the duty of the attorney-gonoral to
prosecuto all these causes witho)ut
an' additional recompense. Besides
this dIuty he is called upon, in per
forming the functions o,f his oflice,
to act as legal advia-r to the govern.
or, the secretary of State, the comnp
trollor-general, the adj utan t ad
inspector general, the State super
intendent of education, the dozen
and oneO investigating committees,
and any member of the Legislaturo
who wishes to draw up a bill erect
/ing a gate across a public rand, or
regulating the standard degree of'
stench that gunno should omit, or
changing the name of Peter Smith
to Samuel Snooks. Such is the
wretched tangle into which the
Radical LAegislaturo' got the law, that
scarcely any qtuestion can be an-'
swered by any of the heads of do
partments at Columbia without first
consulting the attorney--genoral. He.
is suipposod to be a walking celo,
podia of law, a complete digest of,
State r'eports, an infallible in terpro
ter of oracular legisltive enactments
-a Job in patience and a Moses in;
Rneknss-all for twenty-one hun.
dred and odd dollars a year. Some'
attorney-g~onerals would have been

Gaeeral Conner and Mr. Youmane.
who succeeds him, deservo a muel
higher rato of com pauntion.
What is truo of tho attornoy
gonoral is equally truo of the otlhei
Stato officials. The Stato superin
tendent of education, for instance
should be one of the most eminuni
instructors in tho Stato, and hi s pe.
culiar and chief duties, as laid dowr
in the law, aro that ho shdl be cwl
tinually travlin" throu"l the dif
ferent cointies, visitimg st-h.1s, am1
improving the system. Every 1ay
on such a tour costs about three
dllarfs. Amd yet, oightoon humbc<d1
dollars a yotr is offin ed as amiull
cient induIicemont to impcl n.uy low
Omupetont for the task to abmlou
other duties, support lik family am
travel, as ho should, at least twc
hundred (ays in th year.
Again, tho Stato tr:asuror is ro
quired to give an cnormous hoid,
and to handle a million and a hall
dollars ayoar, paid out in a comittesi
mllbor of warrantis, reqiring ia
complex system of book-keepng,
and for this hto reccivos a triile over
oighteen hundrod dolh%ru.
