The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ly Newspaper, devoted to the matenal in terests or the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. Tor Terms, see first page. The election that is to take place the 13th instant is exciting more than usual interest. Two public meetings have been held, each meet ing has put a ticket in the field. The misunderstanding concerning the time for the meeting arose in this way:-The Intendant and the Clerk gave notice December 24th of a meeting for the 31st, to nominate a Council for the ensuing year; this notice, we understand, was given in accordance with a resolution of the entire Council. In the issue of the 31st was another notice by the In tendant and the Clerk, postponing the meeting to the 3d instant; this postponement was made by the In tendant without consultation with any of the Council except one mem ber. In justice to the Intendant, we take this occasion to say that we do not believe he had any other ob ject in view than to allow certain citizens who expected to be absent Wednesday an opportunity to par ticipate in the nominations. There is an attempt on the part of some to drag into the campaign issues that do not belong to it. We hear of the "dry ticket" and of the "iet ticket". There is no such is sue involved. As we understand it the position taken by the ticket improperly called the "dry ticket" is this:i 1st, To secure better order on the streets; 2nd, to enforce the Jaws against gambling and.other offenses within the corporate limits; and, 3d, to place it within the power of the citizens to declare at each election whether barrooms shall be licensed or not-in other words, that if licenses be granted these licenses shall expire with the expi ration of the term of office of the Council granting them, so as to leave their successors the power to grant or not to grant, as they see fit, during their term of office. This is fair, and nobody can reasonably object to it. It is only to prevent r one Council from forestalling the action of its successor. This was the case up to 1877. Prior to that time the municipal elections were held the first Tuesday*in Novem ber, and licenses were granted in November and December. The Legislature, March 2, 1876, so amended the town charter as to have the election on the second Tuesday in January ; so that the Council that was elected in Novem ber, 1875, continued in office till January, 1877. The licenses ex -piring in November and December, 1876, were renewed by that Coun c' il for one year-the shortest tims allowed-and the same thing has happened every year till th~e present. So that the charge made by some that one Council has "forestalled' the action of its successor is un founded, and is the result of igno rance of the above facts, which clearly explain the whole matter. When the question of "wet or dry' comes properly before the people as an issue we propose to discuss it, but we can see no occasion to do so now. All that the citizens of Newberry are called upon to con sider in this election is to secure the best Council possible-a Coun eil that will be firm in preserving peace and good order on the streets, aggressive in punishing and pre venting all violations of law within the limits of the town, and attentive to their duties of keeping the streets and sidewalks in proper condition-in short, active, enter prising business men who will know their duty and will have the cour age to perform it. There is no poli tics involved in the election ; and all that can be expected of any citi zen is that he exercise his own judg ment and support the candidates that he thinks will best secure the interests of the community. Ex- PresidentGrant passed through Columbia the 31st ultimo, on his way to Cuba. He was accompanied by his wife, Gen. and Mrs. Sheri dan, Col. and Mrs. Fred Grant, Mistake in the Appropriation Bill. The State* tax was fixed by the House that introduced the appro priation bill at 4} mills ; the Senate amended it by making it 42, but afterwards receded from its amend ment. The engrossing clerk, how ever, made a mistake and put 41 in the bill when engrossing it for rati fication ; so that the State tax stands at 4- mills. This extra one fourth of a mill will raise about $25,000, which will remain in the Treasury to the credit of next year. Gen. A. C. Garlington has become editor of the Greenville Daily Newcs. The General is a graceful and for cible writer, and we are glad to see him in the editorial harness again. Bishop Gilbert Haven, of the M. E. Church, North, died the 3d in stant. U. S.

The citizens assembled in the Comi House, at 4 o'clock P. M., 3d Januar3 1880, pursuant to a call made by publi advertisement from Hon. J. P. Poo Intendant.

Jan. :, lN Withiu the last week two pub meetings have beeu held in Newhri fr the purpose of nominating an 1 tetidatit and Wardens for 1X80. E:, of these meetings claims to have be the regular citizens' meeting-ea has nominated a municipali ticket. It is not my purpose to discuss t relative respectability of those w took part. in the two meetings, or t relative merits of the men who c pose the two tickets ; I shall i weigh the principles they claim represent ; but this I shall do-1 sh si:ow which meeting was-as it pears to ordinary apprehension-t regular citizens' meeting, and, in c sequence, which should receive I support of orderly. order-loving c zens. In the meeting on Wednesd when the Chairman asked, Will so oc.e state the object of the meetin a member of the present Council ar and said : "This meeting was cal by the Town Council for the purp of nominating an Intendant and f< Wardens for the ensuing year." 1) that admit of wore than one reasona construction ? But another meet was held on Saturday, at 4 P. Called-why ? and by whom ? wli Suppose the Intendant had been in Court House on Wednesday and I addressed the meeting in these wor "Gentlemen, several influential citiz who always take an interest in w ings of this kind, are absent ; hai care, gentlemen you haven't the dow or common sense requis:te to 1 telligent action in a meeting of 1 kind. You cannot provide for best moral, material and indust interests of this town. Desist, gee men. You cannot nominate a ti. that will reflect the intelligence morality of the community. In viei Sthese truths (painful but indisputab SI u,rOve that this meeting do now Ijourn till the return of those sev influential citizens who alwayst an interest in meetings of this kin SHe was not present ; but, I say, pose he had been, and had dhus: ken ; what then ? Can theni be .doubt ? Yet, in that mneeting, a tleman -who, I presume, spoke visedly-gave this as the Intenda reason (is that the wo)rd ?) for dt t ing to postpone the meeting till -urday :'"Several influential (h a ! I citizens who always (ha ! h:t etake an interest in meetings of kind are absent." Ha ! ha ! ! ha This was the reason-and the ( vention on Weduesday were not ing to admit they-say, one hund *and fifty-were unable to act , teligently during the absence of4 c eral influential citizens who alt' , take an interest in meetings of kind." T.he reason, then-wasi sa reason ? apart from any reason may have made a postponement sirable-who issued the official p lamation postponing the meeting .Saturday ? The Intendant. But -meeting on Wednesday was hel -obedience to a call from the T f Council-as stated by a memnbt that Council. Had the Intem' t the right to abrogate an ordinant the Couueil? Had lhe the rigl epostpone a meeting called by the'r r Council ? I think not. The I gvention on Wednesday thought The majority of the Wardens-i e by the way, were in that meetin a' thought not. Yet, the Intendant revoke the call of the Council, only without the consent of the T dens, but without consulting tI Plainly, therefore, the meeting s Wednesday was regularly called regularly convened, was regularly hducted, and it made the regular zens' nomination. A h ? Did I dderstand you to say that mie should have shown the Intent emore courtesy ? Is that your o ion ? I reply-Did that mecetinig s him less cur tesy (rffici:al or ot wise) than lie showed the Warde No, verily. This, then, I have to say of ticket nominated on Wednesday: -It hould he supported, beca nominated in the initere.t of moral order and reform. It should be supported, becaus is conoosed of men who r.re fit: resentatives of the virt ue and in ligence of Newberry. It should be supported. b)ecaus is the regular nominationi-and only regular nomination (if show why.) SICCUS POST OFFICE, NEWBERRY , 6.

The following are the reports of the superintendent and surgeon of the es State Penitentiary as to the treatment of the convicts leased to the Green wood and Augusta Railroad Company, which were called for by the Senate at its recent session, and by that body en ordered to be printed: ch THE REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT LIPSCOMB. ConrwrA, S. C.. Sep. 2 -1879. he To the C'hairnan and Board of Di ho rectors, S. C. P. : he GENTLEMEN-Ilaving received a , letter from Geri. P. H. Bradley, pres ident of the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad. stating that a great deal of mortality and sickness existed among all the convicts leased to that company, 'p- I conferred with the chairman of the he board, showing him the letter. He instructed me to go over there and - make an inspection of their condition, he and at my suggestion he instructed me ti- to take Dr. Trezevant, the surgeon of the institution, with we, to see what could be done to ameliorate their con 4'dition. 1nC Dr. Trezevant and myself appointed r the morning of the 21st of August to >se go on the inspection. On the night led of the 20th I received the attached note from Dr. Trezevant, saying he >s could not go, and I proceeded by my ur self on the morning of the 21st. >eS I met the Hon. A. P. Butler, one ble of the board of directors, in Augusta, nc Ga., about 11 o'clock the same morn M ing. We left immediately for the camp on the South Carolina side, in Edgefield County, about nineteen or the twenty miles distant, which we reached ad about 5 P. M. Is I found in one end of the stockade nine sick men chained on what was as intended to be a straw bed, but the et straw was too thin to do much good. e a I could not stand the awful stench ris- and had to direct the guard to unchain jn. them and-bring them out in front of his the stockade. I found them in a de plorable condition, all of them corn the plaining of venereal diseases, swollen rial limbs, &c. I then went to the so tle. called hospital, where I found three ket sick-two white men and one black and man. They had some straw to lie up on and were all chained. They were v of all covered with vermin and fleas-so le). much so that I was forced to leave the ad. the room. I don't see how it was ral possible for a well man to exist in ' these places well treated, much lessa the sick man with no treatment, or so lit. .' tie that I regarded it as none. They up- had no change of clothing, no shoes, p0. no covering of any description that I could see. They reported that they miy had had no. medicine and no medical "~~' treatmeut except one dose of paregoric ad in the three days preceding, and their t's nourishment was fat bacon and bread. sir- I left the camp and proceeded t.c Sawhere they were at work on the road, about a wmile or a mile and half. dis a tant. I found about seventy-five mer a) at work on the road, clothed in the his Penitentiary stripe that I had sent tc Gen. Bradley about five weeks before. ~oIt was so late that I could only 1001; at their condition generally and post. vil- pone the inspection until next morn red ing. i. I went next morning to where thej sowere at work, called the roll and in ;e-spected them. I found a great man~ sys of them complaining of venereal dis this eases and swollen limbs, and almost al hat with scurvy. They were very dirtj ;hat in person and clothing-having n< d- change; some of them said they hac enot washed for weeks. I saw n< roe- blankets or bed clothing for them tc till lie upon or cover with. the I heard great and loud complain: - i about the cruel treatment of convicts ow by Capt. J. J. Cahill and his guard >nOne of them, W. H. McGarvey, No r of 3,125, showed Col. Butler and mysel lant scars upon his head which he sait e of were caused by blows from a stick it to the hands of Capt. Cahill, and per sons outside gave the same informa own. Capt. Cahill himself, in re n- porting those that were dead, informec not. me that the guard had shot one whihi hoi hackles and fastened to the gans _chain, claiming that he was in revolt SWe heard that Cahill had ordered th< did guard to shoot him. not The convicts were generally in suei iai- a bad condition that I deemed it m3 em. imperative duty to send the surgeon o this institution to see them. on" The sickness and mortality being st it great, I heard that some of the direc on- tors ot the road had resigned and Dr citi- T. J. McKie, their surgeon, had ceasec nto visit the convicts professionally .I was informed that he had refused t( ~gcontine to treat the convicts becaust lant his prescriptions were rnot filled noi pin- his orders as to treatment and nourish bow went carried out. Ie- returned to Columbia on Sats1 erday, the 23-rd, and sent Dr. Trezevn.; s? to make a similar inspection on. th1 morning of the 25th, as will be seci the by the following order, approved b.) the chairman of the board, a copy o use which Iappend. Hisdetailed report y>On the 24th September, 1877, the.3 received 100 convicts; on 18th Oc t tober, 1877, they received~ 8 conviets on 31st October, 1877, they received " convicts ; on 2r'.d May, 1878, the~ el- received 65 cor.victs ; on 6th Decem ber, 1878, they received 40 convicts eit on 7th Apr'd, 1874, they received i; he convicts; making in all, 285 convicts, otOf this number 18 were returned to 'ot the Penritentiary befoire I took cbarge, 38, escaped, 17 were discharged 7 par. doned, anid up to August 1st, ae cord.ing to reports submitted by Capt. ). Cahill, there were 93 deaths. .1 found ngwhen I went there that 21 had died who were not reported, the most of I them in August, making a total of UEAR SIR-In obedience to your cc and Director Shield's instructiwus, I li proceeded to Edgefield County to in s.eet the condition 1,f the convicts at work on the Gireenwo'ud and Augusta ltailroad. n I reached the stockade on Monday u afternoon, the 25th, and immediately f, proceeded to the said inspection. I found in the log pen, which is called the hospital, three convicts lying on a shelf made of poles and clapboard and covered about two inches with straw Tvo of said convicts were colored and one white. One of the convicts, Jno. Lord, was in the last stages of exhaus tion, and had on nothing but his - shackles and a pair of pants-the rest of his body being covered with flies. The other colored convict had general dropsy. * * McGar- G vey, the white convict, was so weak t and emaciated that he was unable to leave the shelf, and the straw was so full of vermin that I could not make a satisfactory examination of hin. The English language does not pos sess words sufficiently strong to ex press the stench that arose from the place. The quarters in which the laboring c convicts are consist of two log pens. twenty by thirty feet, separated by an alley way of eight or ten feet. In a this space I found eighteen other con- ( victs lying on the naked earth, their diseases being principally exhaustion and dropsies. The same style of sleeping accom- e modations prevails in these pens as do in the hospital, with the exception - that on some of the shelves there is no straw at al!, and from the polished ap pearance of the clapboards, there has been none since they have been oc cupied. I saw neither trace or sign or cov ering of any kind-blanket or aught else. The stench arising from these quarters was sickening to the utter. most extent. The cooking is done in six or eight round iron ovens in the open air, the bread which I examined being burnt on top and raw throughout the bal ance. I saw no arrangement for boil ing, &c From the stockade I went to where the convicts were at work, and in spected each convict separ.tely. With the exception of nine, I found them all, more or less, infected with scurvy, and with an eruption which was evi dently caused by the vermin on their persons. There were two who were so swollen with dropsy of the extremities that I remarked that they should have been in the hospital, and was told that they were there on light work, just to do wvhat they pleased. None of them possessed a change of clothing, and their persons, though evidently having been washed the preceeding Sunday, were offensiue on account of the stench from the filthy clothing. In a conversation with Dr. T. . McKie, an excellent gentleman as well as physician, I found that he had refused to attend further on these con viets, as we could be of no possible service under such a condit.ion of things as prevailed ; and Mr. Twiggs, the associate engineer of the railroad, with the Georgia branch, informs me that he has remonstrated time and again, but to no effect, and that out of one hundred and ninety-one con victs, on the Georgia side, that since the 22nd day of May he has had no sickness whatever. The mortality above is sufficient to provc what their treatment has been As the cool weather comes on, with the system of the convicts so cnfeeble-d by their scurvied conditions, I a'm afraid there will be. a still greater rnar tality.

C., Dec. 31st, 1879. FIf the world was all before the rad icals, where to choose a place for dis turbing the ordinary and peaceful course of events, I doubt if they could have selected a spot more calculated to give themx temporary encourage rient and to bring final discomfiture than the State of Maine. I1 say nothing of the manifestly selfish :motivcs which actuated certain Radical leaders, but Iam certain that the feeling which moves the rank and file of the party out of the common line of duty is not, however mistaken it can be, proof of a love of disorder or aan indication of a d esign to violate the :aws. The sober seond thought vf the masses in Maine, in both parties, is what will now win a victory fur peace and order, and will send. to oblivion the noisy politicians who have put self before the good of thc State. After a little season the 'baleful influence of these men, in t!.x places where it is now strng, wjil as certainly disappear as as the da arness will to-morrow mnorn ing.
