Within four days I have been to every book-bindery in the city, and not a bit of work can I get." "But have you tried anything ele ?" "What else can I try ?" "Why, anything that you can do." "Yes, I've tried other things. I have been to more than a dozen 6f my friends, and offered to help them if they would hire me." "And what did you mean to do for them ?" "I offered to post their accounts, make out bills, or attend at the counter." Mrs. Stanwood smiled as her husband thus spoke. "What makes you smile?" he asked. "To think you should have im agined that you would find work in such places." . Peter Stan wood was a book binder by trade, and had now been out of employment over a month. Ie was one of those who general ly ealculated to keep about square with the world, and who consider themselves particularly fortunate if they kept out of debt. He was now th;rty years of age, and had been marritd eight years. He had three chihsren to provide for, be sides himself and wife, and this, together with house rent, was a heavy draft upon his purse, even when work was plenty; but now there was nothing. "Maria," he said, stopping and gazing at his w fe in the face, "we must starve. I have not a single penny in the world." "But do not despair, Peter. Try again to-morrow for work. You may find something to do. Any thing that is honest is honorable. Should you make but a shilling a day, we should not starve." "But our house-rent?" "Trust me for that; the land lord shall not turn us out. If you will engage to find some work to do, Ill see that we have house room." "I'l make one more trial," ut teredl Peter, des pa iringly. "But you must go prepared to do anything." "Anything reasonable, Maria anything decent." The wife felt almost inclined to smile, but the matter was too se pious for that, and a cloud passed over her face. She knew her hus band's disposition, and she felt sure that he would look about for some sort of work which would not lo.v-er him in the social scale as he had once or twice expressed it, However, she knew it would be of no use to say anything to hr now, and she let the matter pass. On the following mornling the last bit of food in the house was put upon the table. Stanwood could hardly realize that he was penniless and without food. Yet the truth was naked and clear; and when he left the house he said : "something maist be done." No sooner had the husband gone, than Mrs. Stanwood put on her bonnet and shawl. Her eldest child was a girl seven years old, and her youngest four. She asked fr. .next door neighbor if she would take care of her childre, until noon. These children were known to be good and quiet, and they were takeni cheerfully. Then Mrs. Stan wood locked up the house and wvent away. She returned at noon, bringing some food for her children, and then went away aga in. She got home in the eve ning before her husband, carrying a beavy basket on her arm. "Well, Peter," she asked, after her husband had entered and sat down, "w~hat luck did you have ?" "Nothing ! nothing '" he groan. ed ; "I made out to squeeze a din ner out of an old chum, but I can't find work." "And where have you.looked to (lay ?" "Oh, everywhere. I have been to a hundred places, but it's the aein evry. place It is nothineg but one eternal 'no! no!' I am tired and sick of it." "But what sort of work have you offered to do ?" "Why, I even went so far as to offer to tend a liquor store down town." The wife smiled. "Now, what shall we do?" ut tered Peter, spasmodically. "Why, we'll eat supper first, and then talk the matter over." "Supper'! have you got any ?" "Yes, plenty of it." "But you told meyou had none." "Neither had we this morning, but I've been after work to-day, and found some." "You! You been after work ?" uttered the husband, in surprise. "Yes." "But how ? where ? what ?" "Why, first I went to Mrs. Snow's. I knew her girl was sick, and I hoped she might have work to be done. I went to her and told her my story, and she set me to work at once doing her wash ing. She gave me food to bring home for the children, and paid me three shillings when I got through." '-What! you haven't been out working for our butcher's wife ?" said Peter, looking very much sur prised. "Of course I have, and have thereby earned enough to keep us in food through to-morrow, at any rate ; so to-morrow you may come home to dinner." "But how atbut the rent?" "Oh, I have seen Mr. Simpson, and told him just how we are sit uated, and offered him my watch as a pledge for the payment of our rent within two months, with the interest on all arrears to that date. I told him I did the bnsines, be. cause you were a vay hunting for work." "So, lie's got your watch ?" "No; he wouldn't take it. He said if I would become responsible for the payment he would let it rest." "Then we have got a roof to cover us, and food for to-morrow. But what next ? Oh, what a curse these hard times are ?" "Don't despair, Peter, for we shall not starve. I've got work enough engaged to keep ug alive." '-Ah, el ? What's that ?" "Why, Mr. Snow has engaged me to carry small packages, bas kets, bundles, and so forth, to rich customers. lie has had to give up o2e of his horses." "What do you mean, Maria ?" "Just what I say. When Mr. Snow came home to dinner, I was there, and asked him if he cvcer had light articles which he wished to send round to his customers. Never mind all that was said. HIe did happen to want just such work done, though be meant to call upon some of the idlers who lounge about the market. Hie promised to give me all the work he could, and I am to be there in good sea son in the morning." "Well, this is a pr-etty go ! My wife turned butcher boy ! You won't do any such a thing." "And why not ?" "Why not! Because-because-" "Say because it will lower me in the social scale " "Well, and so it wilL" "Then it is more honorable to lie still and starve, and see one's children starv a, too, than to per form honest work! I tell you, Peter, if you can not work, I must. We should have been without bread to-night had I not found w~or-k to-day. You know all kinds of light agreeable business ar-e seized upon by tnose who have par-ticular friend's or relatives en gaged in them. At such a time as this it is not for us to consider what kind of work we will do, so long as it is honest Oh ! give me the liberty of living upon '-.1 own deserts, and the indlependence to be gover-ncd by my own convic tions of right." "But, my wife, only think--you carrying~ out butcher's stutf. Why., I would sooner go and do it m self." "If you will go," said the wife, with a smile, "I wHI stay at home and take care of the children." It was har-d for Peter Stanwood: but the more he thought upon t'he and right of the path in which his wife had led him. Before he went to bed he promised that he would go to the butcher's in the morn ing. And Peter Stanwood went upon his new business. Mr. Snow greet ed him warmly, praised his faith ful wife, and then sent him off; with two baskets-one to go to a Mr. Smith's. and one to a Mr. Dix al's. And the new carrier worked all day, and when it came night he had earned just ninety-seven cents. It had been a day of trials to him, and all his acquaintances whom he had met had greeted him as usual. le was far happier than he was when he went home the night before, for now he was independent. So the next day he earned over a dollar; and ',bus he continued to work a week, and at the end of that time he had five dollars and seventy-five cents in his pocket, besides having paid for all the food for his family, save some few pieces of meat Mr. Snow had given him. One day Peter had a basket of provisions to carry to sir. W-. It was his former employer. le took the load upon his arm and started off, and just as he was en tering the yard of the customer he met Mr. W - coming out. "Ah, Stan x-ood, is this you ?" asked his old employer, kindly. "Yes, sir." "What are you doing now ?" "I'm a butcher's boy, sir?" "You see I've brought your pro visions for you, sir ; I'm a regular butcher's boy." "And how long have you been at work thus?" "This is the tenth dty, sir." "But don't it come hard ?" "Nothing comas hard so lon g as it is honest, and will furnish my family with bread." "And how much can you make a day ?" "Sometimes over a dollar, and sometimes not over fifty cents." "Well, now, look here, Stan wood, there have been no less than a dozen of my old hands hanging around my counting-room for a fortnight, whining for work. They are stout, able men, and yet they lie still because I have no work for them. Last Saturday I took pity on Leeds, and offered him the job to do my hand carting. J told him I would give him a dollar and( a quarter a day, but he turned up his nose and a.sked me not to in sult him ; yet he owned that his family wvere suffering. But do you come to my place ty.morrow, and you shall have something to do, if it is only to hold your bench up., I honor you for y-our manly inde pendence." Peter grasped the old man's hands with a joyous, grateful grip, and blessed him fervently. That night, he gave Mr. Snow notice that he must quit, and on the fol lowing morning he went to the bindery. For two days he had but little to do, but on the third day a heavy job came in, and Pe ter Stanwood had steady work. He was happy-more happy than ever, for he had learned two things; first, what a noble wife he had ; and, second, how much resources for good lie held in his own ener "'es. Our simple picture has two points to its moral. One is, no man can be lowered by any kind of honest labor. The second, while you are enjoying the fruits of the p)resent, forget not to pro vidle for the future; for no man is so sure that the day may come when he will need the squander. ings of the past. A woman in Indiana prays that she may be cut loose from her! husband, giving as a reason that he has only bought her a pair of! shoe strings sinee their marriage. We sympathize with the woman. Such a wardrobe as that must be rather cool at this season of the year, to say nothing of how a wo man must look dressed only in a pair of shoestrings.

To the Senate and Rouse of Belr sentatives: I have received the concurren resolution of the Senate an House of Representatives reques ing me to infbrm the General A sembly "why a sufficient militi force for the protection of life, liI erty and property have not bee stationed in such counties in thi State as have been hitherto riotu and refractory; and, further, wh have not the outlaws in ther been brought to condign punisl ment ; and why the provisions section 2, of article 13, of the Cor stitution have not been enforced and, also, to inform the Gener: Assembly what further legislatio is necessary to effect the purpos herein stated." In furnishing you such inform, tion as it is in my power to sul ply, and while I deeply deplor the disturbancas to which you -esoltioh refers, I can scarecl; venture, as Executive of the Stat< to pronounce any of its countie "riotous and refractory," upon th reported cases of individual oul rage, and while no information ha been received in this office indic: ting anything like a county ornga zation to defy or to defeat the la% I am the more cautious in this r spect, because it will be recollecte that very many cases of individur violence have hitherto been reporl ed, both from the counties ofAbb< ville and Edgefield. But th prompt and impartial administr: tion of justice in these countic has proved that the civil powe was sufficient for the protectio of the life, liberty and property < our citizens ; and these countic are now as quiet, peaceable an orderly as any portion of th State. But if there was any par of the State in which violence an disorder were so general as to di: arm the power of the civil court. I must say, frankly, that I hav no such militia force as would b competent to suppress them ; an if I had, I have no means to plac and maintain such a force in th field. If by the "outlaws who har not been brought to condign pur ishment," you mean those ind viduals who have lately perpetr: ted the outrages in the countic of Spartanburg and Union, I ea only say that every effort he been made that could lawfully 1. made by the Executive, to disco' er these criminals, and bring ther to speedy trial. In some instance: those suspected of guilt have bee committed for trial, and ill tilei ases, the Executive is wihoi power, as he ouight to be withor disposition, to initerfere with th. due administration of the law. I other instances, the perpetratoi of these crimes are not knowr and have not yet been discoveret I can only promise that every e fort shall be made to arrest an bring them to justice. I am not aware that the 2d Se< tion of the 13th Article of th Constitution has not been er forced. That section provides: "The Governor shall have pov er to call out the militia to ex< cute the laws, repel invasion, r< press insurrection, and preserv the publbe pe~ace." I cannot say with truth, upoi any information in my possessiot that in any section of the Stat< the laws are not executed ; for no a single case has been reported in which the officers of the lav have been resisted in the discharg f their duties. There is no into ion which I am called on to repel no insurrection which I am calle< >n to suppress. While I cannot say, that "the ublic peace' of the State i hreatened to such a degree as t< tarrant the exerc:ise of the pow r of calling out the mnilitia, giver 'ne in the section of the Constitu ion just quoted, I deeply regre ~hat it is my duty to inform you ~hat the condition of several of th< :unties in this State is disturbe< nd dangerous. In Laurens, Unh on and Spartanburg, persons an< roperty a-re not secure. Repeat d instances of violence, disregari d the law, and murer, hae bec 1 reported, and there is a well-found ed apprehension, on the part of law-abiding citizens, that unless these outrages are promptly checked, the evil will have become too great for ordinary remedies. d I do not propose at present to re fer to these crimes in detail, nor t to attempt the discussion of their causes. It is enough to say, that a they are so grave, and so numer p ous, as to call for unflinching ap. plication of all the power of re s pression, which the Executive can s lawfully exercise. It is proper for me to state, and I am glad to be able to do it, that the public sentiment of these counties seems to be aroused to the character and consequences of this state of affairs, and public meetings have been held, in which the responsible and influential cit izens of Laurens and Spartanburg have declared, in language suffi ciently strong, their abhorrence of these crimes, and their willing r ness to aid the Executive in the y suppression of them. If these opin ions are carried out in action, we may anticipate the speedy restor e ation of peace and order; but something more is needed than s these resolutions, however just and generous in sentiment. It :s my opinion that the civil law of the State ought to be suffi cient, and it is my determination d that it shall be sufficient, to pro I tect the person and property of every and any citizen of the State; - however humble, friendless or ob e noxious. I cannot bring myself L- to contemplate the use of an arm s ed force to punish individual vio r lations of-the law in a time of pro. n found peace. Such a remedy ,f would be as bad as the disease, s and would be a public declaration d that there was no civil govern e ment in South Caroina, and that -t we are living in a condition of so d cial anarchy. I am bound, by my 3. oath of office, as the Executive of the State, and in reve:-ence for e those principles of constitutional e liberty which are the vital force d of true Republicanism, to see that e the law is duly enforced, before I e resort to other and dangerous powers. I dare not, and will not, e assume that justice cannot be ad 1. ministered until the effort has . been made, and the failure evi . dent. s .It is therefore my intention to n see that the law is enforced, and s when I fail in the effort, I will e unhesitatingly call up)on you for -the extraordinary authority to n iwhich society must resort for self 3, l rtefm But at present, I n would call your attention to the r fact, that all the cases of reported It violence are individual violations V of the law; that none of them C have assumed the character of n public combinations against the - law ; and that they are all within 16 the regular juirisdlictionl of the I. riminal courts of the county. f- But I do not think that the ad d ministration of the criminal law is sufficiently vigorous. As the -Exccutivc of the State, it is im C possible for me to superintend or -control the trial of criminals. Trhis duty must be left to the At torney General, and the Solicitors, -who are the prosecutin.g officers -of the State, and to whom the ad C ministration of the criminal law, in their respective spheres of dun 1 ty, is committed by the same law ,~ wich defines my own duties and , powers. That these officers have t done and will do their duty I have ,no doubt, but I do not think that r their powers are su fficien tly strong, e or their means of action sufficient -ly large. To illustrate my mean ,ing more fully: each Solicitor has I several counties under his official charge. A murder is committed Sin one of the remoter districts, a where lhe does not reside. A war > rant is issued, a coroner's inquest - makes a very unsatisfactory r 1 port of the circumstances, unless - the friends or family of the vie t tim are especially active ; a few ,witnesses are bound over, arid the Spapers are put into the hands of the Solicitor the day that th-e - court open, and if a true bai is I found, he goes on with the trial - with a slight and inmperfect prepa I ration thus made ; nor can the So S12. licto be lamed.lie6 has many courts to attend, very many cases to prepare ; has not had opportu nity to learn the circ9mstances of his case, or the character of his testimony. Now, in ordinary times, when cases of violence are rare, shock the humanity of public opinion, and excite the indignant activity -of those who arc interest ed in the suffering parties, this la bor of preparation was spared the Solicitor, because he always had an individual prosecutor behind him. But when the crime is one in which the sympathy of public opinion is not warmly interested, or where a disturbed condition of popular sentiment is not disposed actively to assist public justice, or where the parties suffering are too friendless to make themselves heard, then the duty of the Solici tor, while it becomes more impera tive, also becomes more difficult. To do justice, lie n?edslarger pow ers, and more assistance. I would, therefore, recommend a more complete and efficient or ganization of the machinery ne cessary for the administration of criminal justice. The Attorney General is the proper representa tive of the criminal justice of the State, and lie should have the au thority, not only as -:t present to consult and advise with the Solic itors, but to review and direct their action. They should be re-! quired to report to him regularly the condition of the prosecutions in their respective circuits, and to be governed by his instructions whenever he may deem it judi cious to issue them. He should also have the power whenever in his opinion the importance of the case requires it, to retain assistant counsel, and see that the State is fully and efficiently represented. I think, also, that a corps of Detective Police Officers, should be placed under his control, to be used by him and the Solicitors as occasion may require. I do not propose that these officers should have any power of arrest. This responsibility must be assumed by the law officers of the State. But the crimes which society suffers can never be suppreied without some efficient organization by which the preliminary investiga tions can be conducted, 4he traces of guilt promptly followed up, and such testimony procured as will justify a prosecuting oficeer in ask ing fr-om conscientious juries a ver-dict of conviction. Neither: the Attorney Generatl, nor the So licitors, can give more than a gen eral sup)erintendence and skillful diirect ion to such investigatirms, and they need the aid of a body of discreet, pr-act iced and temper ate minded men to perform this important duty. As the Attorney General and the Solicitors ar-e elected by the people, they have it in thmeir- power to select men in whose chiairacter the- wviIl find sufficient guarantee that mLdis pow er will not be abused. To carry out this laln, would requir-e that a contingent ftmd suflicient to meet its expense, be placed at the contr-ol of the Attor ney General, whi'A I therfor-e I think it proper also to call to your attention the facet, that the Judicial District in which these disturbances are most fi a grant, is practically with,&t a Judge. The presiding Judge of that circuit is now under impeach ment be fore the Senate, for high crimes anid mnisdemeanor-s, arid while it would not becon>e me to anticipate this solemn trial, yet I ca:.mot forbear saying that rno ting would con tribuite more ef f'ctively or more speedily to the restor-ationi of order th-an the pres enee in the courts of' tis cirYcuit, of a magistr-ate who shall posses~ the ability to know hris diuty, the resolution to do this duty, and ththg chasracr, which is int itself a pillar of strengthr to the good, and a livingr admonition to evil-doers. Nsor, can I leave this subjiect without expressing my regret, that the Trial Justices have so sinally failed to meet the requir ments of their office. In a condi tion of things, such as we now do plore, the preliminary investiga-i tin in nerly all the nr-osecutions s of the crimes, we wish to sup- Vi( press, is within the province of an the Trial Justices, and the prompt se and efficient administration of the mi criminal law is in a large degre:, ye dependent upon their ability, dis- in= cretion and courage, qualities frc which I am sorry to say the sys- ho tem has not developed. Cc Believing firmly that a vigorous Ci administration of the lan will be lin sufficient to repress crime, I make of these recommendations, pledging int myself that if it ever shall be sel found impossible to administer as that law, I will conic to yolf for dr those extraordinary powers; which I shall then, not hesitate toaccept and use. by I have the honor to be, very re- of pectfully, ha ROBERT K.
