He does not' ky down the principles of law that should govern this species of trial, nor does he indeed throw any great amount of light on the subject. It is the peculiar ] work of the press to denounce crime, I expose the criminal, and demand his | punishment, and it is as needless as it ? is nonsensical for the mere sensational-1 ist to raise any howl about it. Of ' course a party merely charged with crime has rights that the newspapers and all others must respect, and it is a presumption of law, too, that such a one is innocent until his guiit has been j established. But when indisputable ! rwwf the matter of .crnilt. there ! can be no harm in asking that the law be vindicated. Thk plea of guilty which CoL Has-; kell entered for his railroad company j before the Commission at Spartan6nrg a few days ago may be a little surprise to the unwary, but it will cause no astonishment to those who have had occasion to investigate the devices and methods of railroad companies. All must agree, however, that it was an exhibition of matchless cheek. It was an open admission tbat the railroads do not intend to respect any rights of the people, except as they are compelled to do so by law.. The corporation is a beneficent institution. It is indeed impossible to carry on avast business enterprise without it. "But this "artificial person," as it is called, must be i brought within the pale of the law, and there it must be made to ^tay.

It is now said by some of the newspapers that the preponderance of the testimony taken at the South by the Inter-State Commission favors the continuation of the suspension of the long and short haul clausc of the Act. In point of quantity the testimony may "preponderate," but when it is examined from the point of view of its quality, the preponderance is apt to be on the other side. The testimony fa- ' voring a continuation of the suspension of the law is the testimony of rail- ; road reckers and "terminal point" : editors. The presumption of honesty ? is against it. ; Besides, the people are taking up the ' *t ii i - < issue now, ami mey win put in souiu i very competent and credible testimony 1 going to show that the suspension of the law ought to be forthwith discon- j tinned. j Thelawis just. Let it be enforced. The sooner this is done, the better for all parties concerned.

The railroad meeting at the Court House on Wednesday night was large and enthusiastic, it was evident even to the casual observer that the call for j the meeting had struck a popular cord. ' It was unanimously resolved that a memorial should D3 drafted and laid before the inter-State commerce com-i mission praying among other things that the lav/ be enforced. The chief virtue of this meeting is in the example which it basset; this will be followed by other communities similarly situated. "The deep, dumb I'-ntif nf t'no nrtn->T.'? " "MV flflHvlp would have said, will be made known; and when this is done, when the iniquities of our present railroad system have been fully ventilated, then will I the day of unjust discriminations have passed away. And we commend the example of the citizens of Winnsboro to all other communities that may he interested in the great problem with which the law purports to deal, and we would urge upon such immediate action. The law itself has been placed upon j trial, and it will be fought with every j weapon that corporate ingenuity and I wickedness can devise. Tlie I'nblic Press. Before the invention of the art of! printing, the dutv of {disseminating j public nU"1l:ofcncc was devolved largely upon the orators; and', hence the of public speaking was sedulously cultivated, and was a sure warrant to public preferment. The "orators" were the guardians of public virtues, the incorruptible defenders of the liberties of the people. In their hands rested that "weapon of publicity before which thrones have tottered and parliaments gone down." But since the invention of the printing press the duties of Demosthenes have been circumscribed; indeed, as a i public institution, we may say that the orators have passed away. The public r?rp>s bo ? the custodians of public virtue. It is their * proud function to expose frauds and public plunderers; they arc the guardians of the liberties of the people. In the keeping of a free enlightened and virtuous press, the liberties of the people arc safe from the corrupting influences which usually undermine the foundation of public virtue. It must be said, however, for the ancient institution that while its capacity was less its virtue was greater than that of its modern successor. The orator was always free; he spoke his honest sentiments; he betrayed nobody; and this is something more than can be said for the modern newspaper which owes its chief support to the community in which it is published. The prejudices of its patrons is frequently too much for the virtue of the "organ" a-.d then it does what Demothenes could never have done, it proves false to its second trust. The Lav.- of ITIt-rrie'l Women Asain. jluu ui. iiu-xn otcciun, should amend the law of married woman, by stnklag.ani of-jUie Statute the limiting pbrase^"a9Hto-fier serrate property" and l<Sive a married woman where she ought to be?on the same plain with her husband as regards her property rights. This is the way the law "stood before the amendment ef 18S2, and it. was so declared in "Witsell vs. Charleston. Theic is no valid reason in the nature of things why a married woman should be restricted in the exercise of dominion over her property, or her capacity to contract limited to sach obligations as arc entered: into J for the benefit of her separate estate. The legislation of 1382 is reactionary in its nature; it is a reversion towards the common law type. The rule of the old law, absurd as it appears to us, may have suited the simplicity of the early ages, when trade and commerce were undeveloped, but it is utterly out of place in this day and generation, nor will any mcdiacation of it suffice. All artificial restriction must be removed. The disabilities imposed upon married women with regard to their separate estates arc intended to seen re sach estates to them against the con-,, sequences of their own possible subserviency and the profligacy of their husbands. It is an attempt 0:1 the part of the Legislature to take care of married women. Such laws hinder the play of natural forces, like prohibition, they always fail to prohibit. It is an attempt to do by legislation what it is impossible for legislation to accomplish. Such laws should be repealed, or rather they should never have been enaciedA Uniform Divorce It is becoming more evident each day that another amendment to the Constitution of the United States must! ere long be submitted. The divorce j laws of the dilTercut States are now so i uttterly at variance, one with an-: other, that it has become desirable to j purchase uniformity at almost any j price. Given each State with a divorce law of its own, which will of course be stamped with the idiosyncracics of its Legislature, and the complications that arise are almost beyond definite calculation. A woman secures a divorce in iiinn.esoia, for instance, her husband secures one in -Sew York fiiR decree! granted in the former State nothing is said os to the future marriage, and of course the woman may consider her elf at liberty to try it again, but by he decree rendered in the latter State the parties will be prohibited from :ontrcting a second marriage. Suppose the woman?an estimable lady, if rou please?marries again, by the laws Df ^Minnesota her second marriage will je legal and her children from such anion legitimate, but by the laws of S"ew York these same children will be illegitimate and 'their parents guilty of bigamy. "Vvhat would be the legal status of these children in other States 3f the Union it is not easy to deter-I mine. These difficulties are real and j in existence right now. They are in- j deed suggested to us by a case reported ; in the last issue of the Xew York j World. We -can see no objection to an j amendment lo the Constitution of the i United States giving Congress power j to enact a uniform law on the subject of divorce- This would seem to be all the more desirable since the fourteenth amendment has already given us a national citizenship. The Question of the Hour. Speaking of the great conspiracy which is now being waged by the corporations and "terminal points" to defeat the operation of the inter-State commerce law, Senator Reagan, in a recent letter, sums up the situation with his usual pith and vigor. lie says: The united and concentrated efforts of the rhilroad companies, their officers. attorneys and agents, and of the newspapers they own and hire, are to deceive and mislead the inter-State commission into the suspension and J nullifying of this great and beneficent j act of Congress. Every word of this is literally true. The purpose has been too plainly manifested io be mistaken. Indeed, they have already very nearly succeeded in scaring the commission into a nullification of the most important feature , of the law before it has been even partially tried. Each and every one of its provisions are righteous and just, and it is upon the great body of the | people to insist that it be fairly enforced. As the New York World. puts it: . J It may lvc cLu.vn us a fact that, ( wherever any community or enterprise prot:sts against the enforcement ol the "long and short haul" provision of the law, it has heretofore enjoyed advantages to which it was not entitled, at the expense of other people. It was to remedy this unjust discrimination that the law was passed. And the commission has no right without giving the j law a tair trial," to perpetuate this in justice. mere win uc just a..? uiuuu manufacturing and production in this country as the market warrants. Railroad magnates should not have the sinthority to say where it shall be done. Give the people a chance who have been "frozen out" by discriminating freight reates. And as the fame journal says in another connection: "A great cry of pain will go up, but the knife of equality must "cut some time, and it may as well do it now." It remains to be seen whether or not there is energy enough in the people to meet this conspiracy. l>ull cl' Comprehension. Jlessrs. Editors'. Arc you not too severe on the railroads?

Civilization. "Civilization" is evidently oulv par* tia)ly civilized; but for fear that there may b^ a few other uul'ortunates in tins country similarly affected, we will give one reason why we oppose discriminations, and that reason sbj^l -caif'y wi.4b-& -a complete-rel'uiatiuu Of the fallacy involved in the foregoing1 several inquiries of "Civilization." Let us take one item. If the railroads haul corn to Columbia twenty per cent, cheaper than they will haul it to Winnsboro, or Ridge way, or other town in this or other county, this enables the Columbia merchants to undersell the "Winnsboro or other competing merchants. This will be admitted. What will the Columbia merchant do with his twenty per cent, advantage? This is the next inquiry. Will he give it to bis customer? Hard- j ly. lie will wait until his competitor at "Vyiniitboro or elsewhere has marked his corn, and then he will put his upon the market at a price just enough below that of his competitor to induce the current of trade?it is upon the consumer everywhere that the burden of this outrage will fall. Under a normal state of affairs, when all sections are fairly dealt with, the merchants of "VVinnsboro will compete with the Columbia merchants, and each will struggle to undersell the other. In this way goods will be put down to the people at the lowest possible living prices. But under the present iniquitous system of railroading, the law of competition in the commercial world is destroyed, and we have imposed upon usamcrciiess system 01 "uiscriuuuutlons" which practically makes the people of one section the slaves of the people of another. The whole country is given over to be plundered by the railroadsaud the "terminal points." An Ovcrv.-orkeU Court. There is perhaps some force in Col. Edward McCrady's suggestion that another Justice should be added to the Supreme Bench. lie points out the fact with the Court constituted as ic is at present, there may be in cases of disagreement an even division i of judicial opinion, as is the recent case of the Aultman & Taylor Company vs. Hush, where Judges McGowan and Huaron are opposed to Judges Simpson andMcIver. Bat we do not think the difficulty which Col. ilcCrady raises is quite as | great as he supposes it to be. Take j 11 * ~ 4 I Si] G CUSS HUU V iCivl 1CU tw? iui Vvc will not hesitate to concede that as a lawyer Judge Hudson is non seczindus. lie is the peer indeed of any man at the South Carolina bar. But it is hardly a correct balance to setoff a Justice of the Supreme Court with a Circuit Judge in any case.; Supposing them to be of equal natu- i ral ability, several, circumstances com- j bine to give greater weight to the! legal conclusions of the former. In ! the first place, Circuit Judges arc often ! forccd by<fheir surroundings to decide j 011 the spur'of the moment issues that J require mature consideration, and are consequently, naturally enough, just about as often wrong as right. In the second place, owing to lack of time, inherent haziness, and !he hurry inci dent to tbe bearing iu the Court below, | causes arc uot so fully- argued by counsel on Circuit as in tbe Appeal Court. And, lastly, the Justice of the Supreme Court has an immeasurable advantage in the superior facilities for investigation which he enjoys. So taken all in all there is much reason why his opinion should outweigh his brother on Circuit, and be accepted more readily as a rule of action. But we agree with Col. McCrady that the Supreme Court is in need of more Judges. Instead of ene, however, we arc inclined to rccommend that two more be added to the bench. It is a notorious fact that the Court as now organized is overworked. The Justices do not havs sufficient time to devote to the investigatioii-of the law in important causes, and when it is remembered that they arenot simply engaged in deciding issues, but in settling or unsettling the law, as the case may be, it will be at once realized that this is a serious difficulty indeed. The next Legislature should provide for the election of more Judges. The | (Jourt ol iast resort not be lorced to precipitate immature opinions from tlie bench. OCa EXCHANGES. {Keotcce Courier.)

There is a ne?v South, Bill Arp to the contrary notwithstanding. "What was meat 30 years ago would be poison now and vice versa. The Old South was mainly interested in the institution of slavery, where her millions were invested and \>hich her pride and traditions led her to^cherish and watch over with a jealous care. That institution has passed away and the political and industrial situation is so changed that the appellation of New South is not altogether a misnomer. SriII thnrft is no reason whv the New South should be crammed down our throats ad nauseum. (Columbia Register.) There wonld be thrills of horror all over the South if it was proposed to put the colored brethren back into slavery. But Russia actually proposes to put 80,000,000 ot peasants back iuto a worse state of serfdom than they were when freed by the decree of Alexander.

(Spartanburg Herald.) Greenville has her factories in full and successful operation. The organimtirm nf a ffir.tnrv in "Lanrens is as sured. It is almost as certain that Union will build one immediately. A dispatch irom Union says: A meeting was lield in the Court-house for the purpose of taking steps towards subscriptions for the establishment of a cotton factory at this place. T. L. Harnes was calbd to (be chair, and Archie R. Stokes requested to act as secretary. In a few appropriate remarks David Johnson, Jr., stated the objcct of the meeting, and was followed by Williams Jefferies,William Munroe, and Dr. John P. Thomas. Resolutions in regard to soliciting subscriptions were adopted, and it was determined to meet again on salesdav in June. Already about $65,000 has been subscribed, and when the different soliciting committees shall have finished their work a still larger sum will have been subscribed. The amount wanted to commence operations with is $150,000. The shares are worth $25 each. Our people arc in eai-nest about this ~ A ~ j "4- if* TTTA TXT* II KOTTA LLItlllt/l'} U.LIU.

Can Spartanbug be content to see progress in all her sister cities and lie supinely without lifting her hands or taking a step to keep abreast in the general march to prosperity? Not Accounting for Law, {From the Columbia Record.) The ad vocal cs of starvation wages for teachers defend their position on the ground that, while the State shall give but ten or fifteen dollars a month as salary, private contributions may be expected to sweii the amount to a decent sum. Admitting that ihis arrangement could be made, it is not in accordance with the spirit of the school system. The. object of this system is to give free education to all children alike, without any discrimination. This is the great feature which, according to Dr. Carlisle and other leading educators, distinguishes the present system from the one existing before the war. Now, suppose a teacher is expected to supplement his public salary by charges oil individuals. If such charge is made, and the parent of a child cannot or will not pay it, the child is debarred from the school privileges, which it is his right to demand. On the other hand, if the nvh-o hnivtan 15 hnprip. bv a nnrtirvn of the pupils, and the rest are admitted free the odious distinction between "pay" and "pauper' pupils at once arises, and our ante-bellum system is revived in the same feature that destroyed its usefulness. Much better would it be to pay the teacher? decent living rates for a few months ot public school, and then let pay schools, as such, be opened. Or, better still, let every oommunity raise a local tax, and in this way keep the schools open fjr six months, without pauperizing the unfortunate teachers. There is too much of this ten-dollar teaching abroad in the State now. The "Boom Sontli. The Textile Record, very good authority, has this to say regarding Southern prosperity: "The boom South is attributable almost solely to the development of the natural resources of the States, and therefore it receives its impetus - from an actual and large increase of wealth. There is unusual activity because there is an unprecedented creation of wealth from the soil. For example, the cotlon States now produce nearly one-third more cotton than before "the war. But this is only one item. The development of the iron industry is another. Quite as important as'either is the division of the large plantations into small farms, insuring more thorough cultivation, and the tendency of planters to give attention to truck farming, and to the growing at home of lood supplies. In short, the movement, as a whole, is simply toward that large and free diversification of industry which is only possible in a community devoted to manufacturers as well a3 to agriculture, and which is one of the first essentials to prosperity. In five years the wealth of the South has increased more than 40 per cent., while the population has grown but 1G per cent." "Cruel and Rapacious." (Greenville Daily JSreics.) The Abbeville Medium regards the recent decision of the Supreme Court, denying the right of a married woman to mortgage her property as security for the debts of another person, as a ~ j <v.:.? r? ifi,? guuu ?11 ii& ucau iiuua \Jv^i LUC text of the decision it says: "Harried women have some rights in Sonth Carolina which a rapacious and cruel creditor is bound to respect." * * * * In this case decided by the Supreme Court the Aultman & Taylor Company sold the defendant Rush a steam engine. They paid for the iron to make it and paid the workmen who hammered it out and put it together. It was theirs, part of their property on the returns from which, we may presume, the members ot the company depend to feed their wives and children. Down here in South Carolina Mr. Rush bought the engine for his use and service and to make money with. He got the results of the capital, labor and ingenuity of the manufacturers and used the'm for his personal advantage. As his name" was not good enough to obtain for him creau irom ine masers ana owners 01 tbe property, his wife voluntarily helped him.and on the value of land she owned enabled him to bny the Aultman & Taylor engine. He has used the property produced by and at tbe cost of another, has received all the profits from it. in the benefit of which the wife presumably shared, has possession of it now and has not paid for it. Who is the sufferer? Who is cruel and rapacious, the people who tried to get pay for what they had made, owned and sold, or the man who got it from them and did not pay? Cotton Facteries. (From the Union, Tunes.) Are factories profitable? is a question put to us very often, and we can only reply by pointing to the increased amounts now being invested in cnlar?iner and increasing the caDacities of the mills already established. The Trough Shoals Factory is doubling its capacity; the Greenville and Clifton Factories pre doing the same, while the Newberry Factory is increasing its number of spindles 'materially. Besides these evidences of their being profitable, the enterprising citizens ot the cities of Greenville and Spartauburg, and the towns of Laurens, GafFney, Chester and Prosperity, after maturely considering the matter, from everv point, are earnestly at work to build factories at those points, to be run by steam. It" 18 nUl pruoublc that the astute \ citizens of those cities and towns would invest their money in snch enterprises, - if they were not assured, by the practical experience of these already engaged iu "such enterprises, that they were profitable investments. But in our earnest desire to establish a factory here, we are not governed a'together by the prospect of any direct profit that may come from it- - ~ _i_ !.. :i . L?jl l*. ^:ii toe fclUCK 111 11 J UUt UliUllJ l/UUL lb >Y 111 j be a direct pecuniary benefit to the [ people at large throughout the county, and particularly the farmers. At the same time we know that every factory now iu operation ai*ound us have proved profitable, as the stock in some of them is held much above its par value and cannot be bought. If the Northern cotton factories make colossal fortunes for their stockholders, after paying from 1? to 2 cents a pound charges for getting it there, why should not such factories at the South, saving those charges, make fortunes, and at the same time give the farmers the advantages of the saving? Let the Southern farmer think and act in their own defence.
