Should Public (juicers Give .Bond ?
The Newberry Observer makes the
Eroposition', as . suggestions to- ;he
egislature are DOW in orde^ that,
" public officers be no longer required
to give bond, but that the people at
large be required to make np any
defaults or deficiencies tha' may oc
cur." It insists that this is the cor
rect theory, arguing that " officers are
not agents ol' the few men called
bondsmen, but of the people at large;
and it the people choose incompetent
or dishonest men as their agents thej
should be willing to answer for theil
conduct,and be taxed to make u?
their deficiencies" Not to pronounci
this position essentially arcadian, noi
to intimate that it comes from a sym
pathizerof the bondmen ol Newber
ry's defaulting Treasurer Whites, w
would sav that our contemporary i

taine a higher view of the editor?
prerogative than to assume and sur
porta position it does not really a]
prove. We would ask if the exper
euee of Newberry alone is not suf
cient to show conclusively that th
ideal suggestion ia not practical ? D
the good people of that county n
suppose that they were placing i
honest and competent mau in t
Tseasurer'a office? Were it not i

ion to the official for whom he is
urety is nearer than that of princi
>al and agent. He is a partner in
.esponsibility, and that of his own
ree will, so that when called upon to

ficiencies he has no light to complain

Obsciver then clamor for a law re
quiring the people at large to make
good the deficiencies of a defaulting
officer? Our contemporary's sugges
tion is neither correct nor poll: ic,
and we suggest that it withdraw its
amendment until the arrival of the
millennium.-Anderson Journal.
We submit .hat the proposition of
the Newberry Observer is a good one,
and the only equitable plan of which
we have heard. If the people choose
ti elect an incompetent or faithless
officer, they should suffer the penalty
of their mistake. While we approve
the suggestion of the Observer, we do
so on the condition that the default
ing officer be put in the peni
tentiary, and that he be kept there
for the remainder cf his life, or un
til he makes restitution of the stolen
money. This, we believe, is the law
of England.-Abbeville Press and
Banner.
Working for Political Effect.
A few of the Northern Republican
papera and politicians are trying to
work up a little agitation over the
Supreme court civil rights decieioD,
but do not seem to be making much
progress. It ia somewhat remarkable
that the only meetings held to protesl
against that decision have been in
the North where it was supposed the
negro enjoyed all the civil rights hf
could handle while in th? South, foi
which especially the civil rights bil
was passed, the negrots are no
bothering their heads in the slightes
degree about it. We said when com
menting upon the decision wien an
nounced that it would not injurious
ly affect the colored people of th
South, who would enjoy quite a
many privileges S?DCO its announce
ment as they did before, and eve;
more, as the Southern people woul
be inclined to grant many things vol
untarily which they would resist ur
der attempted compulsion. Since tb
decision of the court, Gov. Irelant
of Texas, has entered into correspond
euee with tho managers of the rai
roads in that State urging them t
place special cars on their passengt
trains for the accommodation of co
ored travelers, while Senator Brow
of Georgia, president ot the Georg
Western road, has decided to. do thi
upop his road, an example which wi
in all probability be followed ""toy tl
managers of tba other roads in tb
State. On roads where the travel

cars, and they awe entitled to alLt
accommodation they are willing top

due to the colored people, but it is

interest of "thv roads.-Charlotte (

Columbia Correspondent Augusta Chroni
cle and Constitutionalist.
Col. Croft favors a reduction of the
;ariff whenever it can be done with
aut injury to home industries, and he
thinks it would be unwise for the
Democratic party to make any effjrt
to reduce the tariff at this time ; for,
he.eays, if the Uouse of Representa
tives should pass a tariff bill thar
Would meet the approval of the Se -
ate and President, tne credit of such
action would be divided with the
Republican party, and if the House
should attempt legislation that would
fall through the non concurrence of
tho Senate or the vote of the Presi
dent, their work would go for nothing
and might result in alarming the.
business men of the country, aud de
feat the party in 1884. Cok--Croit
says that he is a Protectionist to this
extent: If the internal revenue is'
abolished he is willing, if necessary,
to raise the amount lost to the Gov
ernment by doing this by au increase
in the import duties. He says that
the moBt popular thing that the party
could do at this time would be to
abolish the whole internal revenue
tax. If this.was done, he very truly
says, it would give peace to the South;
it would destroy Mahone in Virginia
and bury Iudependentism in alt the
Southern States aud would nd our
people of a crowd of the most inta
mous scoundrels that ever cursed a
tree country.
Coi Croft thinks that the tax now
collected by the General Government
on whiskey and tobacco might be col
lected by the States, which would
rapidly pay eil their debts and de
crease taxation to a minimum rate ;
and the people would directly and
immediately feel the benefits of this
change. Col. Croit is not a Protec
tionist only to the extent of fostering
and developing home industries and
enterprise. A modification ol' th<
tariff, in many particulars, would
without doubt, encourage competitioi
from abroad that would be beneficia
to consumers and not injurious to on
own producers; but this 18 hardly th
time lor such action. When the Derne
eratic party has gained entire contre
of the executive and legislative d<
parements of the Government, it ca
then undertake a revi-ion of the taril
Being asked if Col-^'^^^Mj?S^S
of Mr. Randall for the-Sneakershi
Les in the dis
:rict, Col. Croft oaid that he thought
X would not injure him politically.
Of course, he said the press wielded
i po.verfu! influence, and if this in
fluence was med solid ly against a
public man, it usually had a damag
in>. effect, b-U on tim subject of the
tariff the people were birdly yet
sufficiently aroused to turn out their
Congressman for his views oa this
question; but thy are becoming
more interested in it every year, a:id
it is certainly the question of the fa
ture.
Genera! Toomb's inception lato
Church.
A Georgia correspondent gives the
following account ol the reception ol
General Toombs into the church:
" Robert Tbombs was baptized and
admitted into the Melhodist Church
roll of members by Bishop Pierce last
Sunday. The discourse of the Bishop
was alter his usual pplendid sty ie, and
was heard by quite a large congrega
tion. After the sermon, during, the
ceremonies at the reception of the
new member, scarcely a dry ey?; could
have benn found in the house, so great
was the joy felt by the people when
they knew that our grand old citizen
had made peace with his God. Mr.
Gabriel Toomba had long leen a
Christian, and the sigh' o. the pleas
ure on his fice as he sto'jd by his
brother duiing the ceremonies is well
worth one's memory foryears toc?me.''
Emory Speer, accordirgto a Wash
ington correspondent is going "gaily
to the fray." He evidently expects
to accomplish the couvietion of South
Carolinians charged with violation
of the election laws, with as much
facility as he secured conviction in ;
the ku-klnx cases. Mr. Speer will1
enter the State of Palmettoes with
feathers high and colors Hying, but
ere long he will doubtless present the
appearance of a chanticleer after a
rain, and Mr. Breveter will see an
other idol fall and take his seat be
side Mahone. It is useless for Mr.
Arthur to attempt to start even the
most puny independent biom in this
section by encouraging reuegades
with his favor, and fodder from the
government crib. Mr. Speer will be
another " independent" who will go
up like a rocket and come down like
a stick-only h? will not stay up
quite as long as some others who
have made a similar journey.-Green
ville JVcK'S.
There was a convention of the
teachers and trustees of Orange^urg
couuty. lately, and they listened to
an address by Colonel Coward. He
6tated that in a population of less
than one million, there were 170,000
children attending the public schoole
at a cost of $450,000. His addresf
was said to* be full of valuable sug>
gestions. Mr. Dibble followed and
advocated a local tax in every school
district in the county.

In the absence of th-j old min the
orrespoudeat took up the deadly
?elt and examined it closely. Tuough
he outside was ol brass it was lined
nth steel and was very flexible and
wilow The trout was wider and
?bicker than the sides and bick, and
.he whole machine felt much heavier
h.ni it looked. A hmge allowed the
sack to open and the belt to encncle
;he body. Once in place it eaapped
together much like a hindcuff. The
entire front was composed ol smooth
brass, on the underside ot which,
right auder the nipple, there was an
attachment whi^h seemed tobe to eu
able the wearer to load the belt. Oth
erwise the m ichine-looked far from
beiug dangerous.

nug the slightest riak for himself,
and causing no pain to the perauu at

and dreadlul deaths of some of the
Eoropean crowned heads have caused
me much pain? The idea of the jleab
J and bones of kings being strewn
j ulong the roadside, ?rom the torca 01
: bomb explosions, to say nothing ol
the other systemaof destruction which
have been employed from time lo
time by assassins is dreadlul. lt has
seemed to rae that such deaths were
cruel and unnecessary. Now, I have
worked night and day to provide real
reformers and legal executioners with
a weapon that will remove humm
beings without pain.. I ask mankiud
nothing for my invention, and" I shall
take uotbiug. I have received in
quiries from a few people in refer
euee to this machine.! A well known 1
R issian reformer, a good man, wants
one cf them. I have had no appli

attache of the Cuban journal Sepa

of New York, was here last week to
see me concerning it. As I am pro
tected by no patent now, I propose
to furnish nothing but workiug draw
ings, but I want to show you the ma'
chine in action."
The poor dog was ^dczing by the
stove. The .professor bToi^ht-cut an
air pump from the closet, placed the
belt under it, and proceeded to cnargo
it with a tremendous pressure. When
he had finished the gauge in the
pump stood at 20 000 pounds. The
belt was then quite rigid, but give
no evidence-otTUB tumble stra.n upon

from the pump he threw a ide his
coat, clasped the belt about him, pl?c

H hy President Arthur did not Vote.
Considerable surprise has been ex
pressed on account of the President's
tai lure to go home to N^w York to
vote. The fact is that the President
Joes not consider the present content
in New York of sufficient importance
to take him away trom scenes in
which he is far more deeply inter
ested. Aim ist the only ii-fuiry he
made to dav ia regard to the e.ections
was as to Virginia It ison the pow
er of M-mone to keep the old Do
minion well ia hand that the Presi
dent placea the confidence necessary
for the preservation of a stiff npper
lip for next fall. The President will
regard a victory in Virginia as a
vindication cf the only "policy" of
his administration, and a .sure indica -
xt year for the nominee of the Re
lblican convention. Who that will
! he does not yet guess, though he
,n see that eveuta point toward
mself as the most available person
r that perilous task.-0>r. S.t/'i

.' You should learn some trade, my
eon," said an Au-tin gentleman to his
young hopeful. " Brick layers ar
getting $6 60 a day, whi'e lawyers
can't aff /rd to ride on street cars."
"Pa. why didn't you learn a tr ide
when you were a boy?"
" T.iat'a not only a silly, but also
an impertinent qti??ti'in. I didn't
learn a trade when I wai a b ?y out
of regard for your feelings. I WMited
to give yon an opportunity to say
that your father waa a gentleman."
" It can't he helped now," replied
the boy moodily, " bur I wish you had
c stilted me, for if we had arranged
for you to be the bricklayer, I could
have been the gentleman myself."

The growth of our large church
denominations as shown forth in the
statistical reports submitted isagrati
fying proof of the fact that, in spite
of all assertions to tne contrary, the
influence of the church is not on the
wane. As the St.. Louis Globe-Demo
cral puts it : " When the people who
profess religion are more numerous
than ever before, and church services
ara more frequent and comprehensive,
and contributions are growing larger
every ye*r, it will not do to say that
faith is dying out and men are losing
their interest in Christian work and
progress." ^_
