Address, T THE HEHALJ). I additional service they will j,ct, and I a,,< * it often happens that the pres- Tho Prosperity Press ami llejiortcr calls for a ITohil.ition leader with : backbone as big as the centre pole of a circus teat. A man can have any kind of political belief and still be a Demo crat according to the standard adopt ed by Senator irbv's committee. The Sumter Watchman and Sotilh ron calls the Prohibition convention a sham and a pretense, and says that it was captured by the Dispensary advocates. The editor of the Sunder Freeman is a" Populist and comes out candidly and says so. It would be a good thing if all the oilier Populists, who are maetjnerading as Democrats, were as honest as Col. Dargan. There is more drunkenness in Swot-den than in any other civilized country in the world, and it is the place where the Government controls the liquor business. If the Dispen sary is re-established it will lie well for Sweden lo look to her laurels oi South Carolina may take precedence of her in the consumption of liquor If the editor of the SotUhern Christian Advocate will publish our reply to the unjustifiable attack he made, a week or two since, upon Editor Petty, of the Carolina Spar tan, and ourselves, we will gladly publish his last article in reference to the matter. Wc do not, in the least, approve oi Senator Butler’s political trades, but have no hesitation in saying that hi has made a good senator and has confered more dignity on the posi tion than Governor Tillman conld ever hojie to do. We believe tin latter will he elected,hut will regard his election as a very serious tnisfor tune to the State. The editor of The Herald re turns his grut-ful thanks to the Columbia Journal for an iuvit.-ith.ii to spend a month at Columbia’s new hotel next winter, and wishes to say that he will accept with pleasure; provided our contemporary did no inadvertently use the work winter when he meant century A!is. Lease, the Kansas agitator, has beiii nominated for Congress- woman at large from that State. We suppose that her eaudidacy will result in the nomination of other strong-minded females. Of course they are not eligible but they will enjoy the notoriety of running and drawing a pathetic picture of man’s tyranny and general depravity. If this thing keeps on it will be next in order for somebody to open a school of housekeeping exclusively for men where they may be taught how to take care of the home while the one who should lie its angel is ninuing around making stump-speeches. Our Caruiral of frinir. In the last, issue of The Herald, in publishing the account of We believe that it would be a very beneficial change if the pardoning power were taken from the Governor and placed in the hands of a board before which body all applications must be brought. This would re lieve the Chief Executive of a very onerous and disagteeable duty, and there would be less room for the gross imposition that is often resort ed to in order to secure reprieves and pardons. In making this suggestion we do not intend any reflection on Governor Tillman for, where no political considerations are involved, he probably does as well us could lie expected of any one else in the s tme position. Our enterprising neighbor, the Florence Times, does not seem to regard the hard lim-s, but makes the announcement that hereafter it will he a semi-weekly. We con- jrululatc The Times on I his ev idence homicide, attention was called to-the rapid and alarming im rense oi the crime ot 'nimilee, and the great re- nnuich it linmglit upon our Stale in the estimation of )K-ople living in other States and foreign enuntries. It is simply idle lo talk about in ducing immigrants to settle in onr midst while such a condition exists, for it is very certain that people who are seeking homes will not settle in a State where lynch-law prevails and where the taking of human life is an almost daily occurrence. The only class of people that are not detered from settling in a section where such conditions exist are, to say the least, not a very desirable addition to the population and who would make matters worse, instead of better, by their presence. To attempt to throw the responsi bility on our courts and juries, for the prevahmee of mnrder and to accuse them of not having the courage to inflict punishment on those who have taken human life, is manifestly unfair, for with the latter, at least, it may be said that they reflect public opinion, for if this were not the case they would not dare to shirk their duty and thereby bring the law into contempt. I’ublic opinion instead of, as it should do, sustaining the jury, when the meu composing it do their duty, docs just the reverse, for no sooner is a murderer convicted, than every effort, that human in of its pros|.erity and sincerely trust! S 1 * 1 "'' 1 )’ can devise, is immediately that its friends will appreciate the) '« defeat tile ends of justice, that too without any increase in thei s,,lv ^ * !u strong on the jury, that price of the paper. The Times has j fot ' 11,1 lhe verdict, as lo induce them always l«eti fully alive to the inter-! lu 11 l*'tilion for the pardon of a ests of Florence, and the fact that it is able, at si time like this, to give such an evidence of its prosperity, shows that the citizens of that town are not unappreciative of its efforts. No town, that does not support and encourage, in every possible way, its local papers deserves, nor will have any degree of business success. man that had had an absolutely fair trial, and who bases his application solely on the ground of a penitence that is a palpable sham and pretense; We have no desire to be unfair to the I’rohibitiouiste, but the failure to make any nominations, at their recent, convention, furnishes addi tional proof of what we said some time ago, that thcmajoiity of the leaders in this movement are more interested in perpetuating the power of a political faction than in ad vuncing the cause of temperance. If this majority could have been brought to the point of putting, what they choos ■ tu cull a moral principle above olttics, they would have made no. nations for all the State offices, as well as for the mem bers of the Legislature, and made a fight in the primaries, and if they met defeat to accept it gracefully. The only obstacle in the way of the nominations was the fact that it might endanger Governor Tillman’s pet infamy, the Dispensary. Tin convention wits managed, so fur as all practical purposes were concerned, by the ardent advocates of the Dispensary. The eiuiut of such men to le Prohibitionists rest on about the game kind of founda tion as that of the Populists to be Democrats. The BeuneltsviUe correspondent of the blale says that the Prohibi tiouists at that place are delighb n with the work of the recent Stan convent ion. We utterly fail lu st-i any reason for their delight. llo« would they feel if tie couveiitioi. had really done something except talk ? There is a very unfortunate squabble going on over the remains of the lute Senator Vance. Hie widow had the remains removed from the lot selected by the senator, during his life, and where reposes the Italy of his first wife, and placed in another part of the ceme tery tit Asheville. Mr. Charles Vance, the senator’s oldest son, has had the body moved to its original testing place, and says that it shall IciiiHin there, even if he has to invoke' lb“ yj iJiv U»v, The couit martial appointed by the Governor to investigate the charges against the military com panies, that refused to come to Darlington, have caucluded their labors and the r -port is now in the hands of t!> 'overuor. The report is very long and gives a detailed statement of the testimony and eery thing connected with the whole m ittJr. Even a synopsis of it is too long for the columns of The Her ALP. All the officers and members of the various companies gave theit testim ny in a perfectly frank man ner, but to our mind the most notable feature of the whole inquiry the only regret being for the issue of his act and not for the act itself. Let our people come to the point, of letting it be fairly understood that those who commit crime must suffer the legitimate consequences of it, without, except in very extraordi nary cases, the least hope of pardon or reprieve, and the decrease in the graver crimes will be immediately perceptible. In the large majority of cases those who commit crime count the chances of escape before hand and would be detered if they knew that punishment therefor was both swift aud sure. It has not been shown that our law*’are too severe, and unless this can be done they should be allowed to take their course. Those sympa thetic jieople, whose sensibilities are so easily worked on by the hypocriti cal tears of thieves and murderers, are, without knowing it, using their influence to bring the law into disre- A Misrepresentation I'orrectrd. Washington, June 7 — During the the recent Confederate re-union at Birmingham, Alabama, a despatch wss sent to some of the newspapers representing, it. effect, that the Confederate Veterans hud altandoii- ed all efforts to aid Mrs. Jefferson Davis on the ground of her tem porary residence in New York Senator Gordon of Georgia, who is commander in-chief of the united Confederate Veterans aud who pre sided over that mei-ling, has had his attention called to that telegram and is greatly annoyed at its mis representation of the facts connected with Mrs. Davis. A correction was made immediately upon its first publication, but this correction does not seem to have been generally published. Gen Gordeu said to day: “The dispatch was not only a gross perversion of the facts, calcu lated to deeply wound Mrs. Davis but is an outrage on the spirit and manhood of the Confederate Asso ciation. The facts briefly stated are these: The committee appointed at a previous reunion to memorializo the Southern States in reference to a S elision for Airs Davis, reported at Birmingham, that the States could not grant such a pension on account of certain clausck in the State constitutions. Not one word of criticism was made of Mrs. Davis on account of her temporary residence in New York, nor was one thought entertained of abandoning the purpose to provide for her in the most unostentatious but ample manner. All the Southern people know that Mrs. Davis and her daughter could not live alone at their home, and her intimate friends know that there exist grave reasons for their stay in New York utpresent, It is also generally known, 1 think, that every dollar of money raised after the death of Mr. Davis, for the benetit of Mrs. Davis, was. at her earnest request, devoted to payments of his debts.” Gen. Gordon added that he great ly regretted the necessity of referr ing to the matter in this way, lie- cause It was most trying to* Mrs. Davis’ sensibilities. ‘•But,” lie add ed, ‘•inasmuch as this erroneous di.- patch lias found circulation, I think it due the Confederate veterans ti say that thev regard it not only as a sacred duty, hut a privilege, to putc aud justice. to parulize the arm of Sam Jones on Polities. Velasco World. ‘•The Third Party or party of the Tttird Party, or whatever you call H, will never get to Washington. It’s not on the way. Washington is the wickedest place on earth. It is the home of the devil. The average Democrat and Republican politicians are little better thau rascals, but the Third Party man is afoul. You cun reform a rascal, but did you ever undertake to monkey with a fool? "They wart to borrow money from the Government at 2 per cent, when the Government is now borrow ing at 5. We hear a treat deal of fools talking about tlie rich gettin" richer and the poor itoorer unt the present laws. There never was u greater lie and I’ll prove it.” He cited the cases of Vanderbilt, Stew art, Gould, Curneige and others ail of whom had started from humble beginnings. "There’s nothing the matter with the law. It’s the man that’s at fault. There’s a lawyer on that side of the House who makes $20,000 a year. Here’s a little pettifogger whose family is starving. The law is not to blame. It’s the man him self. Here’s a physician making make from I heir private means am ple provisions for her, in spile of her protest against it; and a move ment for this purpose is already on foot.” Wc trust that the Abbeville Press and Hun tier will have the honesty to publish the above article, and at the same time retract the inexcusable slander on Mrs. Davis, which ap peared in its columns a few weeks ago. Some of our Reform con temporar ies, in order to bolster up the pica for the government control of rail roads, are reviving the ott told, and as often exploded, story of how cheap railroad travel is in Europe, which they attribute entirely to the fact that the roads arc public property. It is trite that the price of second and third class tickets is lower in Eunqtc than in this coun try, but this is owing entirely to the fact that there is more travel and that the population is more dense. There are thonsamls of miles of railroads in this country the owners of which would be very glad to dis pose of to the government at legi than cost and consider themselves fortunate in being able to do so. was the candor and courage of Capt., $10,000 a year.

As * 1 will bo seen by the above article, from his own organ, Mr. John Gary Evans is still endorsing himself for Governor.

Talcott, superintendent of the Middletown Insane Asylum, said to me that the hard times always increased the ratio of insanity i mong prevalent maladies. It is it popular notion that intem perance is a common cause of mental derangement, but statistics prove that only 10 per cent of insane patients were victims of drink and that 90 per cent, lost their mental faculties hy overwork aud worry In Europe one in sixty of the royal heads become insane, while among the less fortunately horn there is only one in 400 or 500. This is about the proportion among the same clans in this country. In Florida there is only one lunatic in every 1, 100, showing that in a mild climate there is less insanity than iu a ccld one, A.
