The Press and Banner BY HUGH WILSON, ABBEVILLE, S. C. ?^Published every Wednesday a $2 a year in advance. Wednesday, may zy, ibso. ( eoricln Justice. Man}* Georgians bokl up their hands ii holy horror at Reform rule in South Care lina, and fairly faint away when the dlspec sary Is mentioned. The consistency of the Georgia law will the nice political views of their neiubbor roaj be seen in the following: Judge Clark in Atlanta recently made sen ' tences,of negroes, like these: Wilson Evans convicted of stealing ashee and blanket. Sentenced to two years in th penitentiary. John Willis attempting a criminal assault Ten years. Sherman Wylie received SloO to build bouse. He bought a suit of clolhes with tb money. Sentenced to five years tn the penl tentiary. at Will Drewry stole a magic lantern. Tw< years in the pen. Rubber Jones shot a man who was so drunl that he didn't know who shot him. Sen teDced to pay $100 or go to the pen one year. Fletcher Bloomfleia broke in a grocery store and stole some eggs. He got three years in th penitentiary. Let the reader square the sentences witl the crimes. For stealing a sheet and a blank eta man isseut to the penitentiary for tw< years, while another who shot a inau whii< ho drunk he did not know who shot him i sentenced to the penitentiary for one year o to pay $100. Wonder if the man who stoli the blankets was not a negro and the mat who did the shooting was not a white man If one was not white and the other black wjjy the heavy penalty in the lighter ollence and the lighter penalty in the more serioui oflence ? But look through the list and see the In equality of the punishment. We make no effort to reproduce the report ed wit and alleged fun of the judge whili imposing the sentences. M ho In Cioft ? Did Juge Goft come down South during thi war in cominaud of a negro regiment ? not in command of a regiment of negroes did he come in command of any other organ l/.ation of negro soldiers? If he came .South in command of negioet ,dld he harrass and annoy the decent peopl of North Carolina by the presence of his negr soldiers? Did he afterwards go to Louisiana as a "vlt iting statesman" or other emissary fron Washington to aid in roDDing me .->iuie i Louisa 11 a of her vole for Tllden ? There has been of late some appeals to bin In bebalf of negroes. If the Judge com mane ed negro soldiers, and afterward aided th Washington authorities in defeating the Den: ? ocratic vote of Lonisana, is it atall surprisln that he mingled "pleasure with duty" in an nulling our registration laws? Whether Judge Goff came South as a com mander of negro soldiers, or whether he hai rassed and annoyed the decent people c j North Carolina by the presence of bis so diers, or whether he went to Louisani to help defeat the Democrats of tha State, we know that be came down to Soutl Carolina about a month ago and did the bid ding, or obeyed the request, which was madi of bim as against the white people and fo the negroes. "Louisville, Ky., May 24.?The Jeftersoi county grand Jury has refused to indict Ful ler Gordon for tbe double killing of bis wif< and Arch Brown, son of Kentucky's gover nor, whom Gordon found in a bed room to gether four weeks ago." ' Fuller Gordon Is guilty of wilful and pre meditated marder, and should suffer the pen alty laid down for that crime. If insult is given to the females under i man's care, he should resent it, and protec his female relatives, even to the killing of tin % aggressor. Public sentiment and persona morality as well as personal duty deman< that the assailant should take the conse quences of his misdeed. But no man who marries an unchaste wo man has a right to wreak vengeance on her o her associate in crime. Every man is justified in protecting a virtuous woman, but nc man should be allowed to .slay another be cause he chose to marry an unchaste wife Fuller Gordon followed up his wife, and shoi . her and her associate to death. For this ac he should answer for his crime at the baro justice. Let not the reader misunderstand us There is all the difference in the world in pro tectlng the honor of an innocent and virtuoui woman from the act of killing a man becausi his wife is nntrue to him.

' Edi Spartanburg, May 21.?The Herald will print peoi - the following to-moirow: ,.oU Washington. D. C.. May 2'S.?To the Killtor ont ,t of the Spartanburg Herald: Hll My Dear Sir: In ibe Columbia State, re- Will ceived yesterday, I saw your kind mul flat-' the ? teritit; call made ou ine to corne to the aid of sell our State. Today I see another communion- i rece tiou Irom one of our colored citizens in the' same line as yours. Let me say, before pro-' |rjo ceedihK lurtlier, that I appreciate these evi-1 tiei^ " deuces of the confidence siill reposed lu me way by some of my lellow-citizens, aud I hope neHi they will never have cause to change their |ar(. opinions. -fori n 1 ueed hardly say that there is no personal (|,e >- sacrifice I would not willingly make to pre-Jedu< serve the honor or to promote the welfare ofi ttia.t South Carol!ua. All my eltorts in the past! nle for these ends give the best guarantee of my ; fU| | ti siucerity uow, but. with every desire lo work \v 8 for our State, I see no way in which I could nnd give substantial aid. When I last attempted ! Join I" r.l?u.l IV vr IU.UXK in.I :l ri*Sl0rati0U of the I nolr r fraternal relations which since"7t>" had gov- 11jje erued all of our citizens, a South Carolina au-1 be i dience refused to hear mc, and drove ine from , jor. 1 the stage. I have taken no part in public at-, xi e lairs in the .State since then; not because my ! ce||, Interests in them was abated, but because I !jova had been rudely notified that my voice had j no longer any weight in the counsels of the' u State. I have therelore, kept silent, offering j . e do advice, uttering oocomplaint or reproach. . *|tt ' I have tried to serve the State when called on I to do so, but when my tellow citizeus declaied i n ,. 0 that I could do so no longer, I accepted this H verdict without one word ol protest. Bull | L,,. 1 am still a citizen of South Carolina, proud ot ".8' her honorable record in the past, jealous ol j . her honor, and deeply mortified at the condi- ! t*. !? Hon she now occupies and the estimation in ; w , e which she Is held ihroughout the I'nion. | It is not my purpose to discuss how this de- j'. s" 3 plorable condition has been brought about, i . for I do not intend to indulge in recriinlna-! ,r. lion nor in reproach, my only de?ire being to > } see our people reunited and the State placed I e where stie stood proudly of yore. I am in i |PJ g full sympathy with all you say as to our pres- . ~y ent coudltlon, but it seems to me that 1 can | ',. r only aid by my vote to bring about a belter j e state of affairs, and I haveeveu been refused i j, , j the privilege of voting because I happened i i, not to have complied with all the require-j ? t ments of the dominant party to show that 1 | u?o?i U riunifinrnl. If ill v Sid vice can have unv ! , weight in the State, it would be for all Cou- j ' servatives, the only true national Democratic i , ,, B representatives in ihe State, to refuse to go into any primary or any socaUed compro- *a mise; to nominate in every county the ablest; , and best men?Conservatives and Reformers * *! ?who will strive to make a good Constltu-1 , - tlon, referring it to the people lor ratification I (j?, ? or rejection, and in all canes to set their laces ] a,J!, resolutely against all fraud in our eleetious. M,? I have no tear of negro domination? a cry used only to arouse race prejudlcesand to put I |jatl the coming convention under control of the !Je,J Ring which now dominates our Stale. The I JrVJV q*groes have acted of late with rare modera* j '"HJ1 e tTOn aud liberality, and if we meet them in 1 the same spirit they have shown, they will J . aid in selecting good representatives for the }"" , '' convention. I, for one, am willing to trust j J?n * them, aud they ask ouly tlie rights guaran- j 11 "J?' teed to them by the Constitution of the Unit- j , , eil States aud that of our own State. "Cor- r.j1 * ruption wins not more than honesty," aud 1 ; ; e advocate perfect honesty, for defeat on that \ ' ^ o hue is better than victory by fraud. ' , I have never refused when called on by the ; people of my State to serve them. Myatiihty '''' '* to serve them now may be past, but the wish er( 0 to do so will expire only with my life. S,V.K ,f The effort made by the Forty Is in the right , line and is creditable to its originators, but it ;r , seems to me to be Impracticable, for none of ,urV( n them have authority to pledge any one save a.":* I. themselves. We can work In conjunction i with them aud I hope that the work may be j e successful, but if any Conservatives go into ) the convention by a primary they will walk | '""'j ? inlo the trap cunningly prepared tor thein j . and will thus be responsible. In part, lor any !1 1 Constitution framed by the Ring. ! P,?a Thanking you and my colored friend for j . the kind lines in which both speak of me, I \ aIv\ am very truly yours.

There is, indeed, every reas why increasing courage should be t li universal experience of the aons a ? daughters of the Lord Almighty un 3 we are welcomed home. u Think of what this life is, of wt '* possibilities it is made capable, e what fruitage shall come in the .he e after from the right sowing here. S ? how weary hearts are in waiting a hear from our lips the word of hoj s Behold the innumerable "cloud witnesses" looking down upon us, ai when we are succecsful in savi souls, how 4,joy shall be iu heav over one sinner that repeuteth." Why is this spirit sometimes seen die out of the soul ? The reasons i e many, too numerous even to enutm [' ate. Chief among these, perhaps, ' an undue estimation of thiugs 111a y rial, and an accompanying deterio jj tion of faitli as to things eternal. C i, loss is irreparable when'it comes frc s such a cause. The holy inspirati " may he recovered in after years, t i the'evil influence upon others caus by our depression has already done j work. We have not accomplished . we might; the visible, having ecli] ' ed the spiritual, has left us with reh j ed, weakened spiritual instincts wb something grand was to be performt i. There is no way to counteract such s decline of inspiration only in "see j ing first the kingdom of God," and do this when all earthly currents v flowing in the opposite direction. - ' \ Which Dcittli Do You Prefer? s Here are three death sf-enes.
