I . The Press and Banner, ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, Dec. 1, 1880. The Maddox Murder. We hava no further development* in the Maddox murder, the facts of which we chronicled lust week. This whs h most foui murder, nnu the perpetrators should tie hunted down. ... . -J . .11- L-__.lt.,..*.... . l.? ? e Hope IIIHI HIS DAnilCIIV.1 , UIV UVIWIIIOI, may direct the attention of the Slate deteeti ve? to tiilt work, and that he will otter a suitable reward for the discovery and apprehension of the persons who committed the crime. It is evident that they arc still in the community, and a little effort would no donlit brills the guilty parties to Justice. This is a case which calls for the active energy of the peace officers of the State, and wc have no doubt that the Governor of the State and the Solicitor of t he circuit will do their whole duty in this matter. A Safety Ytlve to be Opened. From crape vine telegraph we ire Informed that a Democratic caucus, embracing all the members of the Legislature, except perhaps a half dozen, will beheld in the State House at nn early day. The Question of a Const ItutlonalOonvention Is to be discussed with closed doors. All the vile newspupei reporters are to be excluded, when the members may Ictoff their cas with perfect safety to the country. Afier the deli very of the speeches by the member*, the wise men of the party deem the country wife, when the orators are to be turned loose on the street*, with a solemn warning to be careful how they talk to the enterprising newspaper reporter. Sample Copies. "Please send uii a sample copy of ine p/m an<t Bnnnrr." During the past year we have r clved a countless number of postal cards * h these words or words to that effect. Wh >n we were younger than we are now, wo would use a prepaid newspaper wranner and send a copy of the Prw and Banner by return ' mail. From all that number we have never heard a word, and after squandering a million 1 or so of dollars In postage, we have stopped I ahort, and now pay no attenllon to such re*| qne?ts. We would he glRd to hear the experl- : enco of some of our brethren on ih s subject. I Kind Words. A friend wrl;!ng fiom New Jersey has this j (n ??? nf t.h?

It Is singular that the Democrn.ic par r should He planning mean* by which a portio i of our citizens can be disfranchised, when they should be on their best behavior. Let our rulers prove the party woithy of perpetuAtlon anil they neeil have no fears, but such expressions as apf>ear In the Interview with the rei>orierof the AVuw and Oturicr will create distrust In the irttudsof the people at laiic &t the very time when they sliou'a have the most confidence. A political pariy that seeks to perpetuate Itself by upproprinie legislation I* unworthy of perpetuation. If the Legislature shall aiienipt to carry ? ut the suggestions of individual members, tlis party will go toi the "demnlilon bow-wows.' l^etJustice bej the watchword. No permanent success cad j be achieved based upon a trick. Thomas Finley, a reliable colored mnn of Abbeville, has sent a petition to the Post I O Bce Department to have our excellent and 1 lKvnmmnilntlne r>ost master Mr. lAWgon re-1 Appointed to the office. It Ih said that som,? j time ago there wax a movement on foot to have him removed In order that Mr. L. L.(>uf-! fln might have the place. The petition which Finley forwarded in t>eh%lf of Mr. Lawson . wa? signed by over l wo hundred Republicans. No man would give better satisfaction than Mr. Uwwn, und we have no doubt that he will be continued in office. As far as we arc informed there is not a man in the community who would wish to see a tried and faithful officer removed. No Cekdit.?In publishing the legislative | news we have used our scissor* Indiscriminately on the Rrffiilcr and the Xrwt andt Oturier, and have jlven neither credit. We: h^re sive credit to both. So far the work of th'! Legislature seems ?o be progressing without delay. The uumi>er of bills to punish the currying of concealed weapons is Indicative *hat .-tome law will be jiafsed to lhat effec. It will be seen lhat our members are at work, end hat ihey uropo^e good work, which we have no doubt will be effective for the ?00<1 KOU-l't.

Such men have not learned yet .lint they oc cupy the place of representative men in ill Staie, wheiher they deserve to or not, am that idle words falling from ihelr lips at tli sugges.Ion of newspaper caterers aie oflouse against the society they represent, as well a that decent self respect which men occunyini th?se pos'tlons should seom to have If the, have not. This Yankee habit of noslngunmen In tliel night-gowns who arc In the slightest degre conspicuous has made Northern society a brnzen as a painted ;.md bedecked couricsur: and has so outlawed decency, propriety an Virtue Itsell In the very bosom of tlie salutl, stuff that flaunts the "red rag'' in our fucei that the peucock senator of tlie Kin pi re Statt with all tlie honors of Nnrrugansett fresh ut' on bim, becomes .he conscience keener a well as moral and political adviser, perchanc< of the Garfield Court, and is no less tiie socls darling of that cotrrle who are so scandalize by our political peccadilloes. When, then, Southern Journalism shows il enterprise in this direct Ion, it isbecomlngan proj>er in a representat lvesoutherner to refut It comfort and countenance. The opltiioiis of our representative*, as tnc are expressed on the floor of either house, t are discovered In the reports of committee or given In communication to the uubll press, or furnished upon due consideration h those desiring to communicate their views b way of an Interview, are or may be legltlnuil matter for the newspapers. Hut we mustcot tend that the method of taking a snap Jndj tncnlln matters of grave political ihomenlb gathering promiscuously the haphazard opli ions of the individual members of legislate bodies Is boih unseemly, unwise nnd depra* ing. Unseemly because It would seem, In sue cane, that each member knows without, coi ference with his fellow legislators what Is be: In grave questions of Htate policy, which b common consent of all free civilized 8 tales a: held to be best determinable by the conferem of gravely dellberal I ve bodies and by such mi tual concessions as arc. In most eases, foun necessary to reach wise, practical and Ju: conclusions. Hence the value of that resul ant wisdom which Is contemplated by Hoi Writ when It tells us that there Is safety I multitude of counsellors. So is it unwise, b <?.nus<> it sitenks ahead of this very conferem deemed essential to wise action. And it Is <1 proving, because it takesusnapJudgment ur brings opinion*. to record by which those wl utter them idly muy feel more or less com in I ted against sober conclusions afterwai reached. And depravingaguln, because new puper ferrets thus go Into a legislative bod and furtively takeu controlling voteof ll body against its regular deliberations and a thorltatlve vote. What would bethought a Judge of a Court in Bench who should tin forestall the Judgment of the Court by thee: presslon of his personal views as to the law a ease pending before the Court 7 It Is tru there isa difference In the case of a Judge ni ' a Court und legislators and assemblies, bi there Is a certain decorum In ttic expression Individual opinions that it will be readily they both have in common to some deure And very surely the individual legisluto should not blurt out half-formed and hasli: taken views on grave questions of state whl< they may be called on to determine In the s ] premest Interests of soclely; and this way ! going round and counting noses ahead I grave questions is as bad us packing a jury, one *ense. It Is of not a little comfort to us as* Carol! , Ian that so many members of our Assernb ; discouraged the enterprise of gelling "chunl of wisdom" for the 'Kewa antl Courier's c< umns, as strikingly did Mr. Parker, of Abb I vllle, when he said* "I uin not prepared , express an opinion at present."
