r-te Press and Banner, By Hugh Wilson and H. T* Wardlaw Wednesday, Dec. 1, 1880. , .. Our Legislators and a Political Cons!I totion. We reprint from the Xetct and Cotirlrr lomi stuenicnti of opinion nn uttered by ou; representatives In tlie General Assembly These remarks will be foimd Interesting wlille they furnish proof conclusive of th< correctness of our position in opposition tf the calling of the Stute Convention. Amonj that great crowd of wise men there seems t< bo h noticeable iack of practical ruggcstlons Quite a number think It neeesfary to call t convention, bat these gentlemen, like nmrlt , nil who have expressed that oplulon, gtvi very vague ideas as to the necessity of suctn * convention. The idea of restricting the fran clilse on an educational qualification is tcx preposterous to be seriously entertained Would these men deny the right of suflrag< ?' to the Red Sh'rtsnnd the Democratic colow* ' ? men, by whose help we redeemed the State' Admit that their sense of gratitude wouli allow them to take this course, Is such ar * action based upon good policy and pra^tlca common justice? We think not. Some o Ihebest white men In Abbeville could no sland the tet-tof an educational qualification Sonieof Uicpc mm are large tax payers. Shal they be disfranchised thRt educated men may exercise the exclusive right to vo<e1 In 1876 nine-tenths of the colored men whe * f _ voted the Democratic ticket could not stand ^ the tobt of the educational qualification - while the leading Radical negroes criuld pasi muster on that wore. Will these learned Legislators disfranchise good Democratic colored men, In order that the Radical negioej oi uicsuue may uo me vonngx Quito a number have bilked of a registration law. On this point we think the conservative sentiment of the county In In seriou? doubt, i None, or at least very few, of us have ?ren the ?. > practical workings of such a l.iw, and It is C< only guess work as to it* resuks. Tor our part, we fear to make the change. We Ihluk there Is good reason for having the State and Federal elections on different days. It Is only necewary to mention a fact or two to convince auy one ou this point. In Kouth Carolina, every man who has an eye slng'e to the Welfare of the State, whether whiteor b'ack, must be in favorof having the * Plate remain under Democratic rule, but there Is no good reason why .he white people, aa well as the negro**, should not divide on National politics. When two good men are nominated for President let every man act freely iu choosing his candidate. But with C* . the elections on the same -'ay, it is hard to separate State and National politics, and the par.y lash will wtllbe brought to bear against any of our cittxens who may prefer to vote the National Republican ticket. By having separate elections, each citizen will vote at the National election as he pleases, while as a matier of course good and intelligent citizens w.'.i be expected to vo?e for good aatl honest - gpverameot at home. ? In our opinion Mr. Murray, of Anderson* struck the key-note to our fuiure security, as V' * ? party, when he said : "The people of the " State should pursue a liberal policy toward ;V. _ " aM clasps of citizens, and render the gov* *' erntrentasacceptable to all as possible, aud ' 1 j this way remove any inducement upon , "tie par #of honest citizens U> oppose us." . This is Just as true os Ho'y Wr:t; and in ih:s connection we wou'd commenu t.>e sensible and Dractlcsl lurcMiInn nf Mr J J Hemphill, of Chester, tliat a commission be appointed to prepare the proposed amendments to the oonsiitui-on. Let our Legislators strive to maue the parly worthy, o: perpetuullon. Let us by solid facts, anil not by bald assertion prove that we are disposed to treat Jie colored iace W'th fai-.HCSs ' % > and due consider*'l?o. Let ihese gentlemen who aie so desirous of perpetuating "t*od * * And lioticsi sovernmejU** imd *veeuring a Veo battel and tklr count," set to wo>fc u> correct ot*ao of the evils whlch^fae Uemocrauc guveiHiueut is now p?*peintiingo? ti>e oo'or ed man.

Ordinarily such cases are pressed <4 <Jte bitter cud, and our judges loo often in iiet punishment wi th au unrelenting band. * If these 1 .emulators would perpetuate the Democratic pa, ?.y by proper legislation. Jet them inft.Uutea oonrtof inquiry and find out how many negroes are now confined in tiue petiuenuary ior lon^ lenni ot service, Ray bom three to tea years, for oetty larceny. f) d Bob Fatrow of tuis county wu sent uhnre j .

The ii^^H'^n to rej*.

The po:U In this county amount to abont seven .tiousand dollars, or about two-thirds of the -whole of the school fond. v 9 Quite a number of the interviewed centiemen speak of fraud in the elections. Let IUCU1 remcxij il vy uoviung sumo maniui vy which the managers of election shall be re' quired to make a falreouut. We would propoM u a compromise wl to those who favor a registration law, that the ' Legislature pan a taw requiring every voter - to Tote within bis own township. TbiS '" would prevent fraud by renting. Jeff David's Case?Interesting' Question of Practice. When the case of The State vs. JeflT David was called In theSupreme Court last Friday a very Interesting and Important question or practice came up. As our readers are aware, Jeff David was convicted of the murder of tiie Franklins, and his counsel has appealed to the Court of last retort against the refusal of the Circuit Judge to grant anew trial. The ^ Invariable custom from time imroerao.lal has i**"/ Men to have prisoners who have been convicted of a capital offence present in the Su. preme Court during the argument of theli ; 'Greenville county will And when she pays Uh -toll! for tiie transportation of the four arson convicts and their guards who attended th< * bupreme Court last week. When Jeff Davld'i case was called, the Chief Justice asked when the prisoner was. HI* counsel, Mr. Benet, re piled that be was In the penitentiary. Th< . question as to presence of prisoners was tiiei argued, Mr. Benet contending that It wai neither necessary nor obligatory. Keveru K" weighty authorities were submitted wbict .' sustained this position, especially the case o The Commonwealth vs. Costello, 121 Mass. 371, wherein it is held that the presence of tin defendant In a criminal case upon the hear tng of a motion lo his behalf for a new trial 1 - not* matter of right; and that his abseno wHl not Invalidate the proceedings, or a sen tenoesnlxequentiy passed upon him. Th< Supreme Court took this view and ruled lha JeiT David neednot be present;?thus seltlinj . a very important question of practice in tbl State, v Tbe.old Court of Appeals, of which theprei ent Supreme Court Is the successor, differe< from it In this?that it was a Court th at coul< hear apd determine questions of (act In evl denceas' well as correct errors of law; heuo It was right that convicts should be present li that Court during ths consideration of thi facts In their case. But as our 8upreme Cour is only a court lor the correction of errors o *. Uw.lt Is plain that the presence of defendant . in capital esses is utterly useless. This need less expense will no longer be entailed on thi respective counties in South Carolina. .This Is welcome news to all these oountlei for we suppose each of them bas had to pay a '* much as Abbeville county for the transport % tion of prisouersand their guards to and fron Columbia. The bill which our County Com xnlssloners bad to pay for Jerry Coleman wa tremendous; and if the sums paid for prison ers fron 1X08 down to the Myers case we.e add ed togei t'T, the total would be startling. Thi establishment of so Important a precedent li K ?matter of congratulation, and the puulfc owe Mr. Benet their thunks. While we an not stall In sympathy with blm In his eflorti '<to procure a new trial lor Jeff David this good has certainly resulted from his uu tiring efforts in behalf of a poor and friend' ' less negro. Jn his practice there Is one char jicterlstfc for which Mr. Benet lias dM<u galsbed himself, and that U. he never cease* a r-o-V with the greatest tea!, ardor aud p*.< } '?alf of a n*H lent whose can.? . . 11 The Register and the Members of the r General Assembly* t Elsewhere we copy an article flrom oar able and wide-awake neighbor the Columbia Regit-, J tcr. This la don? not because we endorse the views presented, bat to show what a promt* . nent Journal of the State thinks of tbemembers aud their expressions in reply to the " query by a reporter of our enterprising contemporary, the Charletlon lfe\v* and Oawrier. i We think if (hose favoring a State Convenr lion ever had nny hope ot the realisation ol . their wishes, the recent action of our repr?? , sentalives In Columbia will banish any sacl> t! expectation. They have expressed their hon> est convictions, and many of thera would ? convey the Idea that they would, if they ? > could, by law, deprive a large clan of our clt- ' . Izens of the right to vote. In 1876 we needed l the help of every Democratic darkey and ev? ' ery nta sniri 10 ruMuis ui ?? mmg v?> " |jj s deinption. It Is not necenary to remind the L i public of the fuct that the Democratic anpi- S - rants for offlcc made the moat aoleinn prom- J > lues that they would protcct the darkey In h11 l . hli right*. Of course nobody ever dreamed L t that a single Red Shirt would be legislated 1 > out of his civil rights. At the end of four t< r years, however, dignified Senators and wise ? I Legislators express the belief that the best a t means of perpetuating Democratic rule is by c 1 the various devices which have been ad vocat- ? f od in the Interview with the yew* and Qou- J" I rier't correspondent. Tho talk of correcting u II frauds on the part of tho negroes In voting. Is , a''blind''so thin that none will fall to see '* i through 1U The people have the right, and j( > we believe they have the good sense to exer- u > else It, to vote down any proposition to hold *' I a Convention, when the civil rights of the k| humblest may be legislated away, under the n , merest pretext. But the legislature has the ^ I right to enact a registration law. Thin tliey c| . may do in such away as to practically dls- I* , franchise a large cla*j of voter* both white and colored, Aa a rule, however, the Constl- t, . tution protect* us from danger, and the con- w , servutlve element of the country will not renuily aurrcnder that Instrument to the ti j j hands of Inexperienced statesmen to be link, ered with by impracticable or designing ^ , men. We very much m'aiahe the pound u enseof our people, if they would vote for a In Convention, after reading tUearticle from the ^ yetct and Couritr. Xho Jtcffister'i article sounds a little funny to one living at this distance irom the capital, hi j The editor of the Rrgitter of course sees how pi ridlcu'ou.s many of the members have made lthem?e;ves appear, and out of the goodnoa* w ! of his heart, he seeks toexcusa them, and begs * | the artful rewspaper reporter to be more eon- w' - 11nur trpflVft 7t iiiue.i.e m iuc iuiuiv, ?uu uv? ?..? o?- ..

If the?? Senators should gi be so Indiscreet In the future as to full Into the *t hands of a reporter, It would be well to put jjj them under guard. <ii The Lien Law. " As will be seen by otir Legislative news our Immediate representative. Dr. J. D. Neel, 01 who is generally level-headed,has introduced ? a bill to repeal the "act to secure landlords j, and pereons making advances, except in to far s as t/teaaid Act relate* to the rent ttf land*." In ^ our opinion the time for class legislation has y, passed. The lien law has become a necessity, J" and It is a waste of time and a futile attempt J to control labor, to talk of repealing it. The f J lien lav enables a frcat many poor men k Lo run farms which they could not otherwise ? do. To repeal the law would make these pco- at pie slaves to their neighbors who own lands, ?' and would,under Ihlsarrangement, own every * thing the laborer had or could make. The law r which now exists in fevor of landlord! to the exclusion of others i* an outrage upon Justice, tt and fo further extend the law, looks very T mi:ch like our Legislators would bear heavily J i deedagainst tae poor. In our opinion b? y Ilea law should bear equally. The merchant a ithoald have the same protection that U given to the landlord. Dy the way, tt would seem * to appear that landlords are a flavored set, <2 when all the laws look to his Interest. In a * l'ltMe while we shall expect to hearof the State tt appointing an agent to take charge of the bus ibess of these people, who seem, if we are to f?j judge from the legislation in the1 r behalf, to be j{ unfit for the transaction of ordinary business. ?i We hope that oar honored representative will ? withdraw his bill^efore* vote is called on It, Wtrie >he Democratic party 1* seeking to per- tr pebuUe Its power In South Carolina, we think ^ they should stop class legislation against the p, poor and In fuvor of the landlord. Landlords u who cannot take care of themselves should be allowed to suffer the consequences. p, ' 18 94 The Governor'* Messape* Thisottclal document Is presented without wi abridgment. The statistical tables will be found satisfactory to evcy Carolinian, Jn ^ that they show a healthystnte of affair* lu u the administration of the various public InstltuUona. while the economy practiced In Jfj every branch of the government must be m truly gratifying to our people. The Governor u refer* to the fliet that It is "difficult for a lawyer to ascertain what the statute law of ?he <k State U," and we are (lad to notice that he forors ehan?e* In ourorgnnielawby constitutional amendment, rather ttian by creating: ^ the great ?on/us!on which would necessarily u follow aoonstUutlonal convention. fu We disagree from the opinion expressed 'oy (he Governor that our Judgesshould be' elected for life or during good behavior/' We are not tb' ready to elect any man tothntofflce for life. J* though we would have no objection to length- ' enlng the term to six year?. His rcmaiLu lc upon whtsky-drinjeing, and the auvylng of cu concealed weapons demand the early alten* u tion of our Legislators. ?< The message is well worthy of a perusal. ^ ItisaStato paper which should be read by w every 01 a. en Ersklne College?Progress. Jj' The last issue of the Auociaie Reformed " Presbyterian has something to suy In reference je] to the recent meeting of the Doartl of Trustees of Eraklne College. The indications are quite M encouraging, and give the friends of the col- wl lege much reason to hope for the best. The . committee is composed of the very best men re in the Church, and none have the welfare of ti< the college more at heart. Progressive and * wise, they will make a Judicious choice, with hi which the public will be satisfied. The lYesbv cl lerian says: m The meeting of the Board of Trustees of Ersklne College la*t werk was pretty foil. Thirteen members were present. The Board was not prepared to elect a Professor of K ' Ma'hemaiuw. There was a free and full consultallon among the members present, after jD which a Committee was appointed whose w duty It was made to correspond with various f0 parties, to get all the information possible, and *-eportat an adjourned meeting on the |. 2nd Wednesday of January next. TltatCom- uhiitiee consists of Rev. w. M. Grler, J. I. m, Bonner and J. P. Kennedy. And now In a, behalf of the Comnl.-ee, we would say ihat w any one who desires the chair of Ma< hematics In Krekiue College, for h'in*e'f or for another, u Is invited to make it known to the above {C named Committee. or to come member of It. Dl Any friendly suggest tons will be respecu'ully ft conxidered and reported lo the Board ai, lis ? . nest meeting. % ,| Oi > Suggestions. 1 W<prosume our Legislators have had ?n j 1 abendanoe of suggestions offered to them, c * and it may not be amiss for na to call alien- ll f lion to an overnight la the "Burnt Records ? t Act." That Act lulled -o require Judgment b c.edilors to restore the records of Jjdgments. We think It would be well to have the I ? drainage law ppply al^ke toa'l the slreamsin 6 Abbeville county. The Nine'.y-SIx sec.Ion J pai Ocularly needs it on account of the he?l h f ? of > he place. j t An act >equirlng fire insurance companies ( I to pay Ihe full amount of the policy on > s which they receive a premium, is a law much needed. < > As an act of simple honesiy and Justice, we I I suggest that the Legislature moke an appro- 1 II prh tion for the payment of the salary which , - the 8iate owes Judge Cooke. In our opinio!* t 0 it will be a disgrace to the State further to 1 1 withhold his salary because he was a Radical | 9 Judge, ] r The State Contention. ] | It seems to us that It would be better for the J # country If the members of the General At- i j sembly would devote themselves to the prao, ' tlcat needs of the country, and let the Con ven- , j 1 tlon and registration alone. Of course the t r people will vole down the Convention, but 3 j they are helpless as to the registration law ( .; which is proposed.

It Is now difficult for a lawyer to ascertain what the lute law of the State is. The mode by which our vs have been amended for many years past have bad j effect ef almost putting It out of the power of an professional person to find the law In the too^s. ie Constitution requires a revision, digest, aad proligation of our laws every ten years, and 1 reoommd that It be done as soon as possible.
