AW publish this morning the text o Governor Hampton's message. It is .readable document, cuibodying stales manlike views, and in its brevity sun conciseness contrasts favorably with tin wordy prolixity of the President's mes sage. It betrays probably some hast< ami lack of care in its preparation, and i: as remarkable for what is omitted as fo what is included. It contains some preg nant p'iRi rraphs in some of which tin Governor \ oivts his views in clear, une qui vocal Knglish, while in others a frank er and more explicit expression of opin ion was to be looked for. This is espe eiaUv noticeable in that portion referring to repudiation. While most emphatically opposing "repudiation direct or indirect' he does not detino clearly enough wha dorse he recommends, and repudiation ists and non-repudiationists will lind hi: words a fruitful source of confusion am Misapprehension. A clear enunciation o Lis views would have been neither "pre 1 mature" nor "indelicate.'' His recommendations as to the extinc tion of the State debt are sound and practical. lie favors a liberal tax for schools Ho counsels the re-opening of the Stat University and the C'latlin College, bu says nothing about tho State Military Academy. He makes a special appeal ii behalf of the negroes who were delude* into paying taxes to the Cliamberlaii tax-reci -Ivors. A few words of friendly counsel to tho negroes about the Liberia] Exodus might have been included in th message, and would have had grea weight. ? ? - will no doubt b SOIJll,- lll-wi ). felt at his omitting to suggest tlio post poncment of the payment ol'the next ta: until the crop of next year shall hasbeen gathered. Altogether the message is satisfactory dospite its little sins <<f omission am commission, and it will furnish the pen pie and their representatives with abun dant food for reflection. yi. C. Duller ill the Senate. At last Gen. Butler has taken his sea in the Sonate. The news was telegraphci to Columbia on Saturday forenoon, am before night it was known to the whol State, lie has made a good tight and hi persistence and tenacity have at las brought success to his righteous causc South Carolina rejoices at the weleom tidings, and we doubt not Gen. Bulle will do honor to the comniouwealth h represents. The admission was linall; accomplished by the unexpected and ex traordinary adherence of Conover am Patterson. These two worthies held tli balance of power in the Senate?mixerabil dictrc, and the exercise of that powe opened the door not to Butler only, bu also to the Radical Kellogg?this to a eer tain extent neutralizing the advantage otherwise accruing to the Democracy 11 the admission of Butler. ? The War. News from the seat of war in Kurop would seem to show that the end is no far oil', and that Turkey is likely to b the loser. Russia has adopted Grant" tactics and has nearly succeeded in crusli ing the Mussulman armies by sheer lore of overwhelming numbers. Osmau P:i sha still holds Plevna, but famine threa tens his bravo army and he must capitu late or cut his way out. The Turks ai withdrawing from the Balkans, and M( liemit -,-lli and Suleiman Pasha seem pow erless to prevent the victorious advant of tho Russians to Jdrianoplc. Grci depression prevails at Constantinopli and rumors are rife that the other power are endeavoring to mediate between tli Czar and the Sultan. Down With Journalistic Monopolj When compared with other Countie uo are always prouder of old Abbevill* The citizens and o'liccrs of the Count are generous and disposed to assist any body who strives to live by honest toi Our officers, like our citizens take a prid in balding up private business and suf porfboth local papers. In Barnwell, An derson and other counties, it seems that different course is pursued. At Andei son it appears to us that some of the olli cials and citizens would crush out struggling neighbor because forsooth li does not command as great a business a Ins competitor. In Barnwell there seem to bo a disposition to starve out the Sen Unci because it is an old paper and ha already received enough of official pat ronage. The people of a live town siiouli do as our people do, support both papert Officers if disposed to do so, can alwav make arrangements by which advertiser ean got the benetit of both papers at a lit tie above the ordinary rates in one. "lie hold how good and how pleasant a thin; it is for brethren to dwell together ii unity." The Chufas. Our friend Col. J. F. Calhoun, of Ml Carmel has raised the chufas with proli and ho recommends it to our people. < gentleman from Newberry has this t say for the chufS: "I assure you the chufas is a grand succcss Jt Is h perfect gold mine t<> the south.

Our friend Calhoun is prepared to fur t.ish t tie necessary seed and instruclioi 111 the cultivation. Separate Davs for Elections. The WiniUiboro New* and Herald ha a well written article favoring separ.it days for elections of State ard Fed on officers. We fully concur with our neigh bor in this matter, and hope that our Lei1 islators will give the subject that consid ration which it deserves. Among othe things, in speaking of the last electio the News and Herald says: "Had the two contests been severed, tli Democrats could have refrained from puttin any congressional or electoral ticket In tli Held, until after the conclusion of the Stat campaign in October; in which case (ir;ir could not have found the slightest pretext ft liooUing the State "with three regiments < regular troops, and Hampton would hav swept South Carolina like a whirlwind." A Good Suggestion. The Charlotte Observer in speaking c the recent Railroad disjfster at Fishin Creek, strikes the nail squarely on th head when he says: "This Is the truth about the matter, and ai ter all the laws are as much to blame as th mil roads. To strike at the root of the ovi railroad comp iniesshoald be absolutely i>ro liibited by state or National statue, iron building h trestle. Where a Jill IsImpraeti cable, they should be compelled to build i substantial bridge with some abutments. an< then we should have an end of such horribli stories as have within the past wee): appearw before the public in the columns of the news , j-apers. As long, however, as the law allow: 4 Jr., trestles will lie built and trains crasl through them, and people will sue the rail roads and recover damages. While the mil roads are liable they are not to blame in tin sense that they operate in deiiance of taw; ' the laws are to blame for allowing itcei dent.* of this character to be possible, and JegiaJation on the subject is sadly Jioeded."

Tl: * amount might have been much reduci 1 if. we had been able to make paymen {. with greater promptness and avail of tl advantage always obtained bv a cash pu chaser. s There have been several applieatioi 1 for labor, resulting however in only tv contracts, as follows: One hundred co victs to Greenwood and Augnstv Hai P road at ?:) per month, from September l n . fi?r each convict, in addition to cost I maintenance; twenty-lho convicts (i terwarus rcuiiiTu ui iwemy; 10 v imri Mahew, at SO.tiO per month each, fro July IS, lor work at dam on .Saluda Ki l er, near Columbia.

There are now 12!> convicts locati i,! there under said contract, which will e t-! pi re January 1, 177N. ' I am aware that some persons belie in the expediency of hiring the con vie f. j outside of the penitentiary, and that t sutlieient income may be derived fro such service for the support of the enti - prison population, or go far towards i, My opinion is that the proper protecti< of societw and the necessity for punis mont of crime require other waysol uli i/.ing the labor of State prisoners. Oi prison should lie made secure by tl erection sf a suitable wall around i 8 much <?t' the prison property as may 1 e necessary lbr actual occupation by tl convicts. Shops should be erected wit in such enclosure, and industries esta " lished in accordance with the model system for employing unskilled coiivi 1- labor, l?y which the prisoners are divid< into groups or "teams," each having hi one branch of the work to perform, ai " hence not requiring any previous trai ing as mechanics. t? 1 iy the use of the penitentiary wat j; power, which een easily be trarisinitt< c I by wire ropes to the shops and the au x ^ iary aid of simple machines and appan | us, we can organize a shoo shop and wa ?f on sho{>, which will employ most of tl v convicts. With the approval of the Hoard of I. rectors. I ntadb an extended tour amoi i tho penitentiaries of other States, in Se j tembcr last, for the purpose of exatni ?f ing the practical management of convi r \ labor where self-supjiorting. I ac<iuir< j much valuable data on this and oth e branches of prison economy, and with tl (support of the proper authorities, I cr r-1 see the way clear for placing tin* penitei e tiaary in a position to yield a yearly re' enne to the State. This cannot lie don however, without the outlay required i i. organize and continue the industries in ii til properly established. 1 In settle of the States convicts can 1. ? economically employed outside of prise ' wails, but only in coul mining or otlu K work where large numbers can beprofi i ably congregated in small space and s< - curely guarded by a sinai 1 force. I am not aware of any publieor privat * enterprise which will do so at prescn ! except the development of the Cohnr.bi water power. This work the convict can do more profitably, either for th Statu or on contract. J'lie most serious objection to the out side contract system,asdemonstrated i: every State where adopted, is the larg proportion of escapes, which are una voidable under that plan, ranging frou 12 to 28 per cent, per annum.
