It is a very voluminous document, and treats of a variety of subjects. He devotes considerable attention to the matter of the late election, and charges the Southern States with all sorts of fraud and corruption by which, he says, they "defeated the exercise of the right preservative of all rights, the right of suffrage, which the Constitution expressly confers upon our enfranchised citi zens". In speaking on this subject, he says : "I trust the House of Representatives and the Senate, which have the right to judge of the elections, returns and qualifica tions of their own members, will see to it that every case of violation of the letter or spirit of the Fif teenth Amendment is thoroughly investigated, and that no benefit from such violation shall accrue to any person or party." Which means that he advises the House, which will be Republican after the 4th of March, to seat the Republican con testants from the Southern States. He goes on to say: "It will be the duty of the Executive, with suffi cient appropriations for the pur pose, to prosecute unsparingly all who have been engaged in depriv ing citizens of the rights guaran teed to them by the Constitution." In regard to popular education, he recommends that Congress sup plement the local educational funds in the Stated by devoting public lands to this purpose, or by appro priations if necessary. He devotes a large space to his pet hobby and sham-"civil service reform"-and recommends that ap pointments be made by means of competitive examinations, and :he recommends an appropriation of $25,000 annually for meeting the expenses of a Commission to make the examinations. He goes for the wicked Mormons, and urges Congress to devise some more effective means of suppress ing polygamy. He recommends either that the Territory of Utah be reorganized, or that a law be passed depriving those who prac tice polygamy of the right to vote, -hold office, or sit on juries. He recommends that Gen. Grant be appointed by Congress "Captain General of the Army, with suitable provisions relating to compensa tion, &c". A great deal of space is taken up wit remarks about our foreign re lations and other matters of little or no interest to the general reader. Lynehed. * Mrs. Kennedy, wife of Mr. Thos. Kennedy, of Clarendon County, was murdered in her yard during the absence from home of her hus band Sunday, the 5th instant. Mr. Kennedy went Sunday morning to get his mother to stay with his wife while he should go to Charleston the next day. Returning in the af ternoon, he found his wife lying dead in the yard,- with her skull broken and crushed by some sharp instrument. His house had been plundered, trunks rifled and several articles of value stolen. Mrs. Ken nedy had been married only a year, and was soon to become a mother. The whole community was arous ed by the news of the brutal rnur der, search was instituted, and the crime was fixed upon three negroes, two men and a woman. They were captured and hanged to the nearest tree, whites and blacks participa ting in the execution. - The Greenville &: Laurens R. R. The incorporators of the road between Greenville and Laurens met in Greenville the 7th instant. 'The engineer reported that the road could be graded, including br-idges and ~trestles, for $145,000. The County Commissioners of the two Counties of Laurens and Greenville will in a shor-t time submit to the voters of the respective Counties 4k~ j-1t1~~Q+jA11 t-v~ fA bAn ~ ih~ The Penitentiary Is giving our Legislators con ;iderable trouble. It is an ex- sn ;remely perplexing question to de- ex :ide what to do with the convicts. wc rhat they ought to be made to Ar vork, ani. as far as possible, pay tr< he expenses of their own crimes, ag io one doubts. But in what way m= ;hall they be worked? The best y. vvay, undoubtedly, is in building se ailroads, digging phosphates, and th n other enterprises of a quasi pub- sh ic character. The trouble so far ni ibout this is, that many of those who hire the convicts for such pur- th poses ha-3 treated them so badly. w< s year ago we had the horrors of the Greenwood & Augusta R. R. C< This year we hear grievous com m plaints from the Edgefield & Tren- co ton R. R. Several months ago wi complaints were made that the con- pc victs working at one of the phos- ch phate works were being cruelly tu treated. With such experience is constantly recurring it is no won der that a bill has been introduced tr in the Legislature to prohibit the at further hiring out of convicts. We tb don't think the bill will pass ; but re its introduction shows the necessity tb of more stringent regulations con cerning the treatment of convicts, lil and the enforcement of the law p1 against parties who maltreat them. W A company, or a corporation, W hire, for instance, one hundred te convicts for twelve months ; their di object is to get all the work possible out of them during that time. It ought to be so arranged that convicts hired out should be visited at intervals by an officer of B the Penitentiary, and the first act ro of unnecessary cruelty on the part ty of the contractors should forfeit G their contract and subject them to w a penalty. Convicts should be em- G ployed on these works of a public B character as long as such work can V be found for them ; and should not be put in competition with skilled S mechanics until it becomes abso lutely necessary for the purpose of Y keeping them from idleness. With ~ proper regulations cruelty can be prevented. It is no maudlin sentimentality fc that demands that the convicts shall ti receive kindly treatment: both hu- ai manity and economy require it. a They are human beings, and should ti be treated as such ; besides this, if h: they do not receive proper treat- ID ment they become totally wrecked el and worthless as laborers and a dead expense to the State. pl p4 The editor of the Baltimore aj American on a recent visit to Char- ci leston wrote to his paper very free- o1 ly his opinions of that city. While praising its natural beauties and advantages he styles it a city with- A out progress. He attributes her e lack of progress and her slow w growth to selfishness, and says, "Charleston has always lived for herself, and herself only." He says that for a Charlestonian the sun rises in the Cooper and sets in the B Ashley. 0. The whole up-country of the h State has entertained this opinionr for a long time ; but the Charleston h: people have always attributed the sa expression of such opinions to jeal- ai ousy, or sectionalism, or some other g bad motive. Now that a disinter ested outsider expresses the same i views so forcibly and pointedly as fo the Baltimore American editor has ea done, we hope it may have its due q effect in awakening the Charleston- ot ians to more liberal views. ti We desire, in common with the h< whole up-country, to see our chief I commercial city prosperous ; but we want it to be on a fair basis of mutual patronage and benefit. qi Dr. D. S. Pope, Assistant Suir- w geon of the Penitentiary, having b visited the convicts on the Edge- g field & Trenton R. R., reports that" he found sixteen convicts employed ta on the road ; one was employed as le a cook and seemed to be in good O health; three wer'e sick in the hos- d pital; twelve were at work, of whom ce five bore marks of very severe whip- sa pings. All had symptoms of scur vy, and with two exceptions were CC not able to do the work required of them. _ _ _ _ _ _ The Piedmont & Arli^ngton Life Insurance Company, with head- in quarters at Richmond, Va., has ri failed. This Company formerly of had an agent at Newberry. and sev- a eral persons in this County hold Cd the policies of this Company. The it extent of the failure is not known gi yet.

No matter; it has sid4 n into his pocket. Besides this, rol* has had the White House coutin. fou t fuud at his disposal, to say noth- ahi g ot the extra appropriations voted sea r the Executive Nausion. These the :tra appropriatious have beeni fre- tre ent and largze, thanks to the watch- cal iess of the faithful Rogers.

They have amounted to at Ga ist 15,000 a year, available for do- ed etcepse,and in addition to Ha e salary proper. who Mr. Hayes has saved at least three- t iarters of his salary.

' aa It is right that Mr. Hlayes' repu- Su( tion for thrift should be acknow Iged and uniderstood before he passes Lt of sigh t. P'eople care very little i about wha't Mr. Hayes says or les.

All the wo~rld's news, so presented that the reader will get the greatest amount of A information wvithithe least unpro.titable ex- sc penditure of time and eyesight. THE SUN long ago discovered the golden man be tween redundant tulness and unsatisfactory I brevity. II. .\uch of that sort of news which de pends less upon its recognized impoitance C( i.han upon its interest of mankind. From ot morning to morning THlE SUN prints a con tinued story of the lives of real men and l\ women, and of their deeds. plans, loves, hates, and ;mroub3es. This sLory is more varied ar.d more interesting than any ro matice that wvas ever dletised. 111. Good writing in every column, and freshness. originality, accuracy. and deco ruin in the treatmnut of every subiject. - IV. Honest comment. Ts SuN' habit is - to speak out fea:lessly about imn and tamngs.1 V. Equal candor in dealing with each po litical p)arty, and equal readiness to com mend what is prlaiseworthiy or to rebuke wnuat is blamable in DJemocrat or Republi- i cau. VI. Absolui.e independence of partisan organizations, but unwavering loyalty to tiue Democratic priniplels. THE SUN be lieves that the Government which tihe Con siitution gives us is a good one to keep. its nionlm of duty is to resist to its utmost power the efforts of men in the Republicanl party to set up another form of govern meLnt in place or that whica exists. The year 141 andl tiue years immediately fol lowing wiliprobably decide this supremely importanlt conlLest.
