TU1HTY YEA US is certainly long enough time to prove the oflleaey of any mccieene, and that the Pain-Killer is deserving of till its proprietors claim for it, is amply proved by the unparalleled popularity it has attained. It is a sure and effective remedy. U is sold in almost every country in the world, and it needs only to be known to be prized, and its reputation as a Medicine of Great Virtue, is fully and permanently established. It Is the great Family Medicine of the age. Taken j internally, it cures Dysentery, Cholera, Diarrhoea. Cramp and I'aln in the Stomach, Bowel Complaint, Painters' Colic, Liver Complaint, j Dyspepsia, or indigestion, Sudden Colds Sore Throat ami Cacghs. Taken Externally, it cures Bruises, Boils, Felons, Cuts, Burns, Scalds, Old Soros and Sprains, Swellings of tho Joints, Toothache, Pain in the face, Neuralgia and Bheumatlsm. Chapped J lands, i Frost Bitten Feet, Ac. ?v j Pain is supposed to be the lot of us poor i mortals, as inevitable as death, and liable at j any time to come upon us. Therefore, it is j important that remedial agents should he at hand to he used on emergency, when we are made to fw] tin; excruciating agony of pain, j or the depressing influences of disease. {Such ; a remedial exists in Perry Davis' "Pain-Kilj lor," the fame of >vhieli has extended over' all the earth, Amid the eternal ices of the Polar regions, or beneath the intolerable and i burning suns of the tropics its virtues are known and appreciated. And by it suffering Immunity has found relief from many of its ills. The effect of the Pain-Killer upon the patient, when taken internally in cases of Cough, Cold, How el Complaint, Cholera, Dysentery, and other affections of the system, has been truly wonderful, and has won for it I a name among medical preparations that caw never he for gotten. Its success in removing pain, as an external remedy, in ease of Hums, Bruises, Sores and .sprains, Cuts, Stings of Insects, Are., and other causes of suffering has secured for it the most prominent position I among the medicines 01 the day.

CY*~* IIV tire in no vise resjtousihlc \ ("or the vices of our Correspondents* SATURDAY, JUNK a, 1874. ^ 11 o>\ Cumulating Voting 31 iulit Work." i The Daily Union-J/irahl has been giving BOino thought to the clVect and workings of cumulsitivo voting, and comes to tho conclusion that the Republican part y is not quite ready to concede to the minority the light that if nicely worked would turn over the St ate completely into the hands of the opposition. The object of cumulative voting and the way it would work is shown as follows: The object of cumulative vot ing is to secure a strong minority, and so far it is good; but it may be ingeniously worked so as to secure a positive ma jority. If this is so, even the opposition would admit that the Republicans would be l'ools to adopt it. The process of ibis voting is, that the voter lias the right to east either one vote ! for each candidate, or to cumulate his votes on all. If seven candidates are in tiio field, ho can cither vote once for each candidate, or seven limes lor one, or he could cumulate one, two, three, lour, or as many votes as he chose, up to seven, on any one candidate. Now, suppose our legislature was to adopt cumulative voting at its next session; then at the next general election, there would he seven general oflieers to he elected. If we take as a basis 00,000 Republican votes and 00,000 Democratic votes, it would ... i. :?i : rtM iv in i nis way: i no uemocrais, thoroughly organized through the Granges and otherwise, could divide I heir GO,000 votes into 15,000 each, > whie-h 15,000 voters eoul I east seven I v o 11 s apiece for anyone candidate, and give that candidate 105,000 votes; or a majorit y ol 15,000 over the Kepuhlican vote of 00,000. In this way the opposition could elect the (lover nor, Treasurer, ( ompt roller-General and Attorney-General, which, with a like oiled or a less ofleet throughout the State, would throw the State com| pletoly in their hands. This would ho I a cumulative consummation nor very devoutly to he wished hy Hopubieans who are not yet hopeless ol mending their ways in their own way. llow this thing can be worked up to I the Herald's calculation is a mystery to uh. We can understand very clearly that il we hail to elect seven Governors and seven Tiensurers, then l>v cumulative voting, 00,009 could overcome 90,000 votes in electing three of the Governors and tince of the Treasurers, and no more; and to do this it would he stretched to its utmost tension. To show this, multiply the 00,000 minority vote by 7, and then you have 2 10,000 cumulative votes. Now concentrate this vote on three candidates, and it will give to each 1 10,000 votes; l but as it will ho an impossibility to make an cpial distribution between the three, because of the uneven numbers; some will get more and others less. Now multiply the 00,000 majority vote by 7, and you have 0U0,000 cumulative votes. This concentrated ! nr fniii1 nonfliHntoo mmk.o f/? E h r r\r\ , wi. ?xy?n wun?ii\lutVO Li V UO tu VdWIi 1U < ,UUU votes. Now by nice work on both sides, neither the majority or minority can gain any advantage over tins roi suit. To show this, suppose tho minor| ity concentrated on four candidates j instead of three; this would give to j each of the four 105,000 votes; the majority would concentrate on live candidates, which would give to each of them 120,000; thus the minority in attempting to overreach itself would lose one candidate and the majority gain one. "Where there is but one : olliee to fill, there is 110 cumulative 'voting about it; the majority will j always elect as heretofore. With all that cumulative voting ; could do, it would not insure to the minority a full proportionate representation in all of the elective offices; but would give them such a representation as, if pronerlv used wmitl r * r " be a wholesome check to the majority is without a doubt. To make this perfectly clear, let us see how it would work in Horry, and our sister county, j T.Lorion, In this county the full Republican vote is but a fraction over half the common Conservative vote, and as it now stands they cannot elect one candidate in the county, but with a cumulative vote they would elect one of the three County Commissioners and one ol the Representatives, unless there was a full turnout of the white vote and a straight tickotj but the Senator would still remain with the majority, which would make an equal representation in the Legislature according to the respective numbers of each party, but they could not elect Y NEWS: JUNE 0, 1 in any of the single offices. Of course 'I the Republicans lavor cumulative vot- s ing in this county. c In Marion the Republican majority is about two hundred, and thev now i lil! every ollice 111 that county. A en- ( mutative vole will divide the re pro- ' sentation, giving to each party two / representatives, and to the Conservatives one County Commissioner.

[News ami Courier.] < The trial of Gov. Moses for larceny on Friday was no trial at all. Gov. Moses declined to appear in couit* to ' answer to the charge against him, and ' Judge Graham considerately reiuserl * i to issue a warrant for 11is arrest, A motion was made to strike the ' case lVom the docket on the ground that the Governor of a State cannot, prior to impeachment, he tried for any oflVnce whatsoever, which is a very comfortable doctrine to hold in those thieving days. Judge Graham reserved his decision, and the case lies over, theieiore, until the next term of the court. Judge Graham is, doubtless, anxious to thu'ide arnrLf ll ?> ,! '. mwiLi inn I -- ....... xx. -1',V('V,V" , which is beloic )ii111, and, in ordinary ! eases, a Judge is warranted in taking ample time to make up his mind. lint, [this is not an ordinary case. Gov. , j Moses was charged with larceny, and j I th.e action ol'Judge Graham prevents the accused from clearing his charac- ] I ter it he bo innocent, and, i! ho be ( guilty, leaves a thief in the Kxecutivc j chair lor many months to come, gives , a thief tho power to remove and ap- . point public ollicers, gives a thief tiie , power to call out and make use of tin; militia, gives a thief authority to appoint the commissioners who manage the approaching elections, and conlin- j ties in a thiol' the supreme executive power of the State. Surely Judge Graham did not ponder this, or he could not have, in good faith, taken a course which works grave injustice to both Governor and people. The quibbling whether 1\ J. Moses, j Jr., the defendant, was the same person as Y\ J. Moses, Jr., the Governor, j was unworthy of the gravity of the j case, and, throughout the proceedings, | there was a conspicuous want of dignity and of any realization of the fact thai the indictment of the Governor of a State for larceny was a thing unprecedented in the annals of the United States. ft was a historical event winch might have been expected to give dignity to the humblest official, to 1 impress the most thoughtless juror, 1 to overawe the crowd of curious spec- 1 tutors. But the charges against the 1 Governor were greeted with shouts of laughter, and unequivocal jokes and 1 broad grins did service for argument and reasoning. To this com- 1 plcxion have we come. So low has 1 South Carolina fallen. The officials who administer the laws, lite juries 1 who try causes, the judges who rentier or postpone decisions, treat the ar- 1 raignment of the Chief Magistrate of a State tor theft as a thing of little 1 consequence, and the crowded audience, representatives of the voting majority, go to the show as they would to a circus or the "burnt-cork" opera. Perhaps it is best as it is!

New York Tribune on the Censure of Itieliardsoii and Subordinates. The most that the obsequious partisans of the Administration can say against the resolution of the Ways and Means Committee to censure Secretary Richardson and his su'.mrdin :?tos, 1 >:\nliolil and Sawyer, is that, it' they deserve this censure, they deserve iinpeachmont. We see nothing in tliis statement to provoke any oj?|>osition. Officers who are either grossly ignorant, or eriir.inally cognizant, <jf the legal vohhcry going on under their noses, deserve to he ]>ut out, tio matter whether eonvieted of incompetence or ol dishonesty. For the rest, the excuse t hat it is impossible to get any competent man to take the position of Secretary of the Treasury is unavailing. The time was when this was recognized as the highest and most important otlice in the gift of government. If it has been degraded, it is Lite President who has degraded it. If it cannot be reputably filled, it is the President who keeps it from being filled. No man fit for it can with any seif-respcel accept tho place under the present most difficult circumstances, save with a degree of power which the President has not been accustomed to accord to any of the clerks whom the con nosy of Washington still treats r.s Cebinet officers. Imagine a financier worthy to take the place of Salmon I'. Chase consenting to receive instructions from and obey absolutely the orders of a man who could not ndderstand during tho panic why silver was not already going into circulation, and who forced upon poor Mr. Richardson the five dollars a day specie resumption! Figures. The importance of a good Governor is self-evident, but that the next Governor will be a good one is ex necessitate res?it is one of those things that has got to be. We are more concerned about a good l egislature and county officers, about honest, competent men in the Genera! Assembly, who will sustain a good Governor, and not tempt him astray or paralyse him if he refuse to bo tempted. The importance ot an honest Legislature is seen in the work of the session of 1871-72. In that year tho taxes collected are set down as $1,331,835.61. Of course all this amount was Appropriated, as usual, for 1 ho rnnninw ftvr?o?o/.n . 1? u._. Ap^iiincn ui 'jilt! j^lUlG) but the Legislature spent for its own expenses in cash $927,379.29, leaving only $404,456.32- to meet the appropriations. But besides this, the Legislature appointed a committee to find out how many bills payable, Parker's notes and pay certificates were out. The report was about $485,000. Add this amount to the legislative expenses, and we see that out of a tax receipt of $1,331,835.61, the Legislature spent on its own hook $1,412,935.29. How is that lor high? How, m the name of heaven, can a Government run, or a people live when a Legislature makes this kind of wild ivork? Now the point is, who stole ali this money, and where did it all go?
