m*adad for ? eooveathin of tht'irieoda of a
good SUU- government, ooe opposed to OOT:
rapllea and waaU of the pnblty treeeory
and eenry abuse?! radical origin, in* geoara'ly
considered too early. Wa ooaeot k
the geaeral oeathneata expteceed la the
eetnmenti of the prom. We moot fee meetly
deelre to fee ibe government of urn ptoie in
U?e handa of reiiabie men identified with
the people tad their interest, Wees re not
what party aaaaothey aaeoma and.We woald
be willing to eee retnrood to the Legieleture
any member that opposed corrupt measure*,
and hwtitly eopportad those that were for
the publie good, and not. nfert partisan
oehemee and principles.
No on# aan object to tbe reaolntiooa o'
the Preaa Conference, ae far ae they go. We
think, however, that they might have pro- I
posed some diiliMl ntMsurei of refottn and
progress ; but there may be time fbr that
when a general convention of the people
shall meet in Columbia. We would throw
oat tome suggestions at leaat^ (or public eon
aidersti?a. Titers ought to bhaome amend*
ments ol the Slate Constitution, diafranohlslog
from ever holding offioe in the State every
man who aeeepts a bribe for any^pnblic
act, especially legislators who accept fee or
reward or oompeasation,direct or indirect,
for voting tor or advocating any hill or reoolution
either before or after it ie passed, or
for voting for any pnblio officer. There
ought to be an amendment of the Constitution
also depriving of the right of eoffrage
and holding office every one convicted of
offences which weie felony by the common
* Ta _1 1J * I f? atntMfnaw InlnaSae

that a corrupt or party legislature might
enact, for aach a legislature might designate
the moat lioniroLls actions a man might
commit as felony, Those disfranchisements
should not be subject to removal by the
Governor's pardon. The rogues and scoundrels
of the State could not then be enlisted
to support a governor who would pardon
thorn, to reetor? their civil rights. We slso
think there should be distinct approval ex
pressed of the realljr good reforms introduced
in the constitution and laws of ths State
since reconstruction, and alao a decided con
demnation of tome special acta and innovations
upon the laws of the Stste that are
oppressive and injurious. There should be
id amendment of the Constitution of the
State making the members of the Legiela
curt; iiitriifeiuic tui u?c j*m 10 ??'/ v
tier created during their term of ssrrioe in
the Legislature.
Such amendmenta of the Constitution
would hardly be opposed by the honest and
disinterested voters of the State, and they
would test the sincerity of the patriotism
profersed by representatives and other public
men.
The power of the Governor to appoint
county offioere generally, should also be
clearly taken away by an amendment of the
Constitution. It is a source of corruption
and influence by which a corrupt Governor
can strive to perpetuate his power, and it
deprives the people of the right of electing
their own county officers, a right, we may
say, "inestimable to them, and formidable to
tyranta only ;* and this certainly might be
vindicated as a republican measure, and
would command the support of thoae who (
profess to esteem the right of suffrage so <
highly. , i
By some such measures as the foregoing, 1
we might hope to enlist the majority of the
voters of the State in favor of reforming and .
purifying the State Government. ,
TDK cone COULD BE REPEALED, 1
a
There is another question, not at all of a
party nature, that ought to be prominently e
placed before the people of this Slate before
the next election : The repeal of the'Code
rrgulatrag the law eourU end practicewhich
wee foreed through the Legislature ,
during the recent reeeion. It ia e code In i
tended exclusively for the benefit of nonied '
classes, and eommereial men and rpeeulatore
and sharpen; its strict enforcement In the
present condition of the State, wonld pauperize
a great many families and the poor
common laborers. It practically denies the
benefit /the courts, the 8opr*me Court ea

Cement law every doller of wegee due to e

His friends, and those of the Mansion '

which wOl no doobt redound to his

public caterer store formidable than when he
first took charge of the place, nqw near twenty
years ago.
The Mansion House is tlio beat conducted
hotel in the np-eountry, which reputation it
has long borne, and deservedly so, for the
travolor or sojoarner who ever visited Greenville,
received under its inviting roof a hospi- i
tality and welcome that made glad the heart 1
of the recipient. The table has always been
well-spread and supplied, and the rooms and
beds so kept as to bring forth tbe enoomiums '
of those patronising its genial proprietor.? 1
Capt. Southkrn, in beooming its cbiof man- <
agcr, will enter upon a bright field, and we i
have every reason to believe that he will eus <
Lain its high character, having had consider* ^
able experience in the business of hotel life, (

The heavy roloo above on Wednesday

stream* io this section of country very nruch,
several persons from point* below, on the
river, complaining of the bed effeato of the

night the rain here continued In torrents
iill daylight, and on Thursday morning the
rolling waters of RePdy River were not content
with the limits of its benka, and spread
Ear beyond tho channel. The Falls at this
placed presented a beautiful scene, customary
with every rise of Reedy, as the muddy
water went roaring and (plashing, glancing

The only objectionable feature in the book j
before us, is the use of the to-called shape

the notes on tbu staff, causes the yonng stu- j
