The News and Courier of the 24th Inst, contains a long and interesting article from Senator Butler upon the present road law of the State, and in it We 'criticises with considerable vigor and fort& its many ineffectual and in adequate provisions. The Senator has been for the past few months devoting his time and attention to this import ant subject, and tbe public may rea sonably expect much light and valua ble information ifroW his diligent and searching investigations. In the com munication above alluded to, ho gives at length the different sections of the General Statutes, touching upon the subject, and claiming with reason that the division of responsibility between so many officers, and the inadequate penalties for violations of duty* arc In themselves sufficient to render the en tire system fatally defective, and would warrant radical legislation by the General Assembly at its earliest session. The following, in substance, arc the important sections so justly and prop erly criticised Hy the Senator, viz: The “superintendent of highways” is ap pointed by the county commissioners, and, nolens volens, he is required to discharge the duties of superintendent “for twelve months from the date of his appointment,” unless removed by the commissioners. He lias general supervision of highways in ids district, under the direction of the commis sioners, appoints overseers; arranges tiie hands into “convenient sqdds,” requires the overseers to call out the hands, regu lates the number of days for each working, divides his district into suitable sections, and shall once every three months report to the county commissioners in writing tin- condition of the roads and bridges in his district. He performs this work without compensation. “And when the county commissioners or any of them give orders to the superintendent of highway districts to have any work done in ins district and he neglects to do the same, he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof in a trial justice’s court, he shall be fined in a Sum not less than ten nor more than fifty dollars.” Section 1,084. If the county commissioners never “give brders," then a superintendent is never amenable. And the “overseers of districts for neg lecting to call out their hands and work the roads when ‘required’ by the superin tendent of highway districts shall be deem ed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon con viction thereof in the Court above named be fined in a sum hot less than five nor more than twenty dollars,”—Ibid. The overseer serves without compensation, and his tenure of office is not stated. 1 pre sume lie holds at the pleasure of the super intendent of highways, and if he should never be “required” lie would never be amenable. Now upon their provisions and re quirements, he lias this to say, and we belibVe his observations will carry conviction to the minds of all who read them. He says: Now, let us suppose the commissioners to he indicted under the foregoing statute, ond a true bill found, and they reply that they gave “orders” to the superintendent in pursuance oi law, how can they be pun ished? Ami suppose you then indict the superintendent, and lie proves that he “required” the overseer “to call out the hands” in obedience to the provisions of the statute, how can lie be punished? And suppose you arraign the overseer before a trial justice, and lid shows that lie did “call out” the hands as he was “required” by the superintendent, and the “hands” came and brought a hoe, or axe, or mat tock, or other implement, and worked, how can he be punished? The roads are still bad, almost impassible. The presumption is that every man who ASsuftiCs a public office will discharge its duties With fidelity, and the presumption is generally well-founded; b it you cannot expect a public officer to enforce a law un less you give him the necessary power and authority, and the mere statement of the law in this case discloses its own inefftcacy. In addition to the above he refers to the fact that the over-worked and re sponsible superintendents are com pelled to perform the duties imposed upon them without compensation of any kind from Uie Stdtd, and for this reason no one feels inclined to prose cute his neighbor and friend for what might be deemed open violations of the law. Nothing seems plainer to our minds, upon a general survey of the law np plicable to this subject, than that an entirely new and different system will alone meet the necessities of the coun try. The present one, as will be gen erally conceded, lias been sufficiently tested, and the public roads of South Carolina ara perhaps to-day in a worse condition than fifty years ago. The theme should be agitated and discussed all over tlie State, until the matter takes shape in such legislative action as will remedy tlie evils of the present system and place our highways in a condition that will do honor to the progress and civilization of the com monwealth. The public-spirited Ifcbors of Senator Butler will meet with a hearty recom pense. iy the Whole eounirv, and indirectly ; er of * llew S ln for the re P airin S of an old j and is prepared to do anything in under- has influenced every trade or occupa- one. So parties need not bring th'elr gins ' taking tion that requires or makes use of the I I in just when they need them ami‘expect to telegraph. There is little 5u common among' these strikes, and no rule or explana tion would apply to all three. They mark unrest, and when taken in con nection with the long Series of indus trial strikes that occurred during the spring they indicate an unsatisfactory condition of the labor market. Hut the all direct attention to the relations that exist between labor and capital*, i and because they tend to show that j these relations are chiefly of a hostile 1 character—which is hot true—thevl make it Worth while to inquire what ! action the workman may take to reme dy his’grievances. A strike is always' an extreme measure; it marks the end of discussion and the beginning of war. Yet it is to a strike that tlie workingman first turns, and lie regards it as his most efficient, if indeed not his sole, weapon for defending his rights. Are strikes as a rule any more fhc- eessful than they wore? W r o do not think that the power of the working- man to redress his wrongs has been increased. It has, indeed, been dimin ished; but. through no fault of his own. He has the power of combina tion and of organization. No one who has carefully watched the inception of the telegraphers’ strike can deny that the movement was well conceived and properly organized. But all of this organization—and tlie same holds true in the other instances—can be exerted j in but one direction—that is; it enables the men to exert pressure upon theiH employers; hut it does not and cannot insure success, for that depends upon circumstances beyond the control of the combination of men. It does not make the striker independent, it does “take them out in my wagon,” or “get them Saturday v/hert the wagon comes in.” 1 want to do all the work I can.

The strike of tlie telegraph operators is a case in point. A! a sig-! mil ninety per cent, of them left their desks and refused to return unless thev | were paid fair Wages. To notice w as j given on Monday, and the dirt answer j of the company then returned dearly showed that little beyond extreme | measures was to lie expected. Yet in six days tlie largest corporation has not been able to get together a force equal to one-half of the former num ber; and this consists for the most part of very raw material, which will ro il UIEMI0N IS CALLED to FRESH ADDITIONS TO MY The Celebrated “Brunswick” Hams—try quire a long experiencebe made as! one. capable as were tlie old operators. An 1 experienced hand recently stated that it will take at least four or five years 1 to replace the men who went out, and when the nature of tlie work is con sidered there is no reason for doubting ids statement. The central office of the Western Union had sucked in all of the best onerators tlie country could afford. The corporation was a great monopoly—monopolizing lines, the service to the public, patents on instru ments and finally tlie labor it used. Such a concentration of power is not healthv under anv conditions. Yet l like, the men have no remedy bat to and then they meet with fearful odds. It is a very simple matter in these days of quick communication to import— wc use the term advisedlv —to almost any extent foreign labor to supersede troublesome strikers, and this has been done again and again. What market exists for the acquired skill and expe- rienefe of tlie telegraphers other than their old place, which alone can absorb and utilize these qualities? With the growth of that corporation there grew a species of industrial monopoly, and the only wonder is that the operators did not make their stand long before Ocean Gem Mackerel.
