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

Cramp and I'aln in the Stomach, Bowel

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

^ 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. Nat11

Muses Laughs at the Law.
[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! Chamberlain,
Elliot, Melton and the rest of
the leading Radicals who prate ot Reform
had no opportunity to prove
their sincerity by forcing the conviction
and trial ol their quondam assomat

in unmeasured terms and whom they
cannot believe to be innoceht* They
have missed their chance, and have
linked their fortunes with those of tlie
indicted Governor. Down ho must
and will go; down to disgrace. And
with him, as now, will be found the
pharisaioal politicians who servo him 1
so faithfully and well.

Commenting upon the election of

It denounces tho State as rotting
away, dropping to pieces in the 1
hot sun irom gangrene and corruption. '
It sustains Mr. Eaton in live demand ]
that, for the honor of the country and i
the interests of the nation, our man- 1
agemcnt of this State should he vigorously
investigated and overhauled.
It is too long and bitter an article for t
publication, and, what is more it lays '
the blame of most the trouble upon '
the colored majority. It intimates 1
very plainly that if wo don't clean out 1
our craft ot our own motion, the na- i

There is nothing but gall'and vinegar 1

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? It

The Law.?A fanner cut down ft
tree which .stood so near the boundary
line of his farm that it was doubtful
whether it belonged to him or bis
neighbor, however, claimed the tree,
and prosecuted the man who cut it for
i damages. The case was sent from
court to court. Time was wasted, temper
soured, and temper lost* but the
case was finally gained by the prosecuter.
The last we heard of the transaction
was that the man who gained
tho eause went to the lawyer's office*
to execute a deed of his whole farm,,
which 4ie had been compelled to sell
to pay his costs. Then, houseless and
homeless, he thrust his hands into hi*
pockets and triumphantly exclaimed,,
"I've beat him I" *
