We have read somewhere that a dertain ancient ruler decreed that any person who wished to offer an amendment to the existing laws should do so with a halter about his neck, so as to be ready for the hangman, if the amendment was re jected. So wholesome was the ef feet of the decree, the historian in forms us, that for the space of hundreds of years, not one amend ment was proposed. While we can not approve this extreme measure of the sagacious ruler, the incident shows that the disposition to make new laws and to amend old ones, is. not an evil of modern growth. The disposition js now running riot, however, and we feel that it would be wise to put a sharp check of some kind upon it. If the average Y. modern legislator had been present when Moses came down from the mountain, with the ten command ments, can anybody doubt what would have been his conduct ? He would have called some one to the chair, Mr. Aaron, in all likelihood, and have moved "that the report of the committee be considered by sections." Then would have fol lowed amendments and alterations, adjourned meetings and mutilations, till the decalogue would, like the code of South Carolina, have swell ed into nine pounds and three ounces of law, miserably "bound in library sheep." The veriest miser might, with perfect safety, offer a reward for a man who does not regard himself as wise enough to make laws. In deed, so great confidence .have we in our law-making skill and wisdom, that the modern statesman is not who decided that the colony should be governed by the laws of God e tlt they had time to make better. But this capricious tendency to multiply our laws is due in great part to the fact that the legislators are not their own masters; that the statesman is measured by the num ber of speeches he makes and bills he introduces. The people expect all the ills of government, even in the executive and judicial depart. ments, to be cured by legislation, * without reflecting that laws can be made effective only by being en forced. They see, or fancy that they see, an evil demanding legis lation, and they forthwith begin a clamor for a new law. The press sets up a howl, and lashes itself in to froth and fury; and 10o! the poor legislature, stormed at by dailies and weeklies, with big guns and little guns, takes refuge behind "An Act to Amend An Act"; and there is your new law ! What we really need is an amendment to human nature, that will give the people a greater willingness t" submit to the execution of the laws. Unfortu nately, they have become, like Balaam's ass, wiser than their riders, at least in their own estimation, and they want to take the bit be. tween their teeth and follow their own sweet will. The law-maker is in the hands of his constitutents, and it is hard to tell where this careering disposition to make new laws will pause. The whole difficulty grows out of the weakness that must charac terize any Republican government. The people must be pleased. We say, Let the laws be enforced "Give us new laws," say the people. And we take off our hats to the people. ___ s Some tme ago a case was car ried to the United States Circuit Court, in which four reputable far mers, of Montgomery County, Ga., were charged with beating. woun I ing and murdering a negro man, with the intent to deprive him of the equal protection of the laws, &c. The defendants demurred to the indictment on the ground that the civil rights law on which it was grounded, is unconstitutional, null and void. The Court sustained the demurrer, and dismissed the in dictment, thus declaring the law unconstitutional, and remitting the case to the -State Courts of Georgia. A Texas paper says, "All the henroosts along the line of road traveled by the Baptist brothers have been totally demolished, leav ing hardly a chicken big enough to A YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER. I The News and Courier, of the 25th, contains a communication printed in the Congregationalist, I which gives the following remark- 1 able summary of the weather in I 1816, the "year without a summer :" r "January and February were 1 mild; March was cold; April began 6 warm, but ended in snow and ice. i Ice formed an inch thick in May, e and fields were planted over and 1 over again till it was too late to re- f plant. June was the coldest ever known in this latitude; frost and a ice were common. Almost every r green thing was killed; fruit nearly ' all destroyed. Snow fell to the i depth of ten inches in Vermont, f seven in Maine, three in the inter- c ior of New York, and also in Mas- h sachusetts. There were few warm E days. It was called the dry season. I But little rain fell. The wind blew t steadily from the north, -cold and fierce. Mothers knit extra socks 4 and mittens for their children in i the spring, and woodpiles that us- 4 ually disappeared during the warm, spell, in front of the houses were I speedily built up again. Zlanting and shivering were done- together t and the farmers who worked out their taxes on the country roads i wore overcoats and mittens. In a town in Vermont a flock of < sheep belonging to a farmer had been sent as usual to their pasture. On the 17th of June a heavy snow < fell in -New England. The cold was intense. A farmer who had a large field of I corn in Tewksbury built fires around i it at night to ward off the frost; I many an evening he and his neigh bors took turns watching them. He ] was rewarded with the only crop of corn in the neighborhood. Con- 1 siderable damage was done in New Orleans, in consequence of the rapid i rise of the Mississippi River. Fears I were entertained that the sun was cooling off, and throughout New < England all picnics were strictly I prohibited. July was accompanied with frost I and ice. Indian corn was nearly all destroyed; some favorably situ- I ated fields escaped. August was more cheerless, if possible, than the summer months which preceded it. I Ice was formed half an inch in i thickness. Indian corn was so frozen that the greater part was cut = down and dried for fodder. Almost i every green thing was destroyed in i this country and in Europe. On i the 30th snow fell at Barnett, forty < miles from London. Very little corn ripened in New England and I the Middle States. Farmers sup- 1 plied themselves from corn produc- i ed in 1815 for seed in the spring of 1 1817. It sold at from $4 to $5 per I bushel. < September furnished about two < weeks of the pleasant weather of i the season, but in the latter part of the month ice formed an inch thick. October had more than its share of cold weather. November was cold 1 fortable, a~nd the winter following was mild. Very little vegetation I was matured in the Eastern and3 Middle States. The sun's rays t seemed to be destitute of heat dur- 4 ing the summer; all nature was clad in a sable hue, and men ex hibited no little anxiety concerning the future of this life.1 The average price of flour during the year in the New York market 1 was $13 per barrel. The average price of wheat in England was 97 1 shillings per quarter. Bread riots occurred throughout Gre'at Britaint in 1817, in consequence of the high 1 price of the staff of life." SOUTH CAROLINA MOVES.-The State Commissioner of Agriculture some time ago sent circulars to the clerks of court of all Counties in the State, requesting reports of the number and aggregate of the liens recorded in their offices. The re turns will not be complete for two or three weeks, but sufficient data has been obtained to show the great advance this year in the prosperityc of the farmers. Eighteen Counties t -more than half the State-report liens on crops given this year to the amount of $1,730,863 against $4, 943,204 for the same time last year. a decr ease of $3,212,341. Only about one-third of the amount of ~ supplies bought on time last year has been so purchased this year. That is a great gain for South Caro lina agriculture and something to t be proud of. It shows that the j farmers are not only practicing economy and thrift, but producing their own provisions to a much greater extent than ever before. t Last year the supplies purchased 5 on time amountedl to $9,218,312 j for the State, but this year the 1. amount, if the remaining Counties( unreported average the same as the e eighteen which have reported, will t not be more than $3,000,000. South t Carolina agriculturists are $6,000, 000 freer and better off than a year a ago !-N. G. G. in Newcs and Courier. n It is a ver common belief that ~ the negro child cannot learn beyond i a certain point; that he takes in his letters and his a, b, abs, greedi ly; that he can learn to spell and ~ read as readily as the white child; s that he may master some arithmetic v and skirmish along the outskirts of F] geography; but that, when he has 1 acquired a smattering of these elementary branches, he must come to a dead halt-because his intel- b lect seems to roll together like a scroll, and nothing more can be crowded into it, or got out of it. The opinion may be correct; but is there not something in the fact that C the pupil cannot easily outstrip his il teacher? Might not the negro children, as a rLule, learn nmore, if negro teachers, as a rule, were able to tach more? a 'RESIDENT OF SOUTH CARO LINA COLLEGE. At a meeting of the Board of rustees of the South Carolina Col age. held on the night of the 23d, rof. J. M. McBryde was unani nously elected President of the Col-' ege. He was born in Abbevilie, 1. C.. in 1841. He has held the osition of Chairman of the Faculty ver since last September. The Veies and Courier speaks of him as ollows : "Prof. McBryde's energy, wisdom ,nd success, as Chairman, had al-: eady attracted the attention of the Crustees, and when, at their meet-i ng in November, he submitted his irst report, their conviction was omplete that the College was in afe and able hands; so that, in tead of the expected election of a .resident at that time. the Board ineimously requested Prof. llc 3ryde to retain his position as ,hairman of the Faculty. His ad ninistration of the affairs of the .ollege since that time and his suc ;essive reports and recomnmenda ions have deepened the conviction, nud the Board have only responded o the universal sentiment of the ommunity and of the students, by vhom he is best known, in elevat ng him to the ofiee of the Presi lency, whose duties he had already )erformed with such success. It is dmitted on all hands that the sue ess of the College, in this first year )f its reorganization, has been 'phenomenal;" at no time in its iistory, perhaps, has it been in bet ,r condition than it is to-day. Of his remarkable result the largest )art is due to Prof. Mlicryde's )ersonal character and influence ,specially to his skill in organiza ion and to his influence over the ,tudents, which it is not too much o say is almost boundless. He as won this high distinction by ;heer force of merit, attested by xospicuous success-and a merit, oo, as modest and quiet as it is sound and effective. - Without the arge reputation which some of his )redecessors have brought to their iigh office, he brings to it an actual ibility in administration, and a )romise of growing distinction for he College and himself, second to ione. These qualities are already tttested by experience, and it is a ,ratifying and hopeful reflection for he friends of the College, that-as n the case of others among the nost distinguished College Presi lents in the country, notably Eliot )f Harvard and Gilman of Johns opkins-his election to office has >een the result of professional fit 1ess alone, without extraneous in luence. This, in his case as in heirs, is the surest pledge of sue ;ess. We congratulate the Board )f Trustees upon their wisdom in ecognizing such fitness. We con rratulate the College, its Alumni nd the State upon securing such a nan to guide the new destinies of ,his beloved_State_Institution._ Governor McEnery, of Louisiana, >ays the following tribute to Dr. 3runs, the distinguished Charles onian, who recently died in New )rleans: 'BTON ROUGE, LA., May 21, 1888. "To E. A. BUR~KE, New Orleans: read your brief dispatch announc ng the death of John Dickson 3runs, with deep emotion. Louis ana will long weep over the grave if her learned, eloquent, accom lished and magnanimous son, the mbodiiment of generosity, bravery, ruth and honor-the brother of the infortunate, the benefactor of thou ands. the model of chivalry. The oss of my friend gives me inex ressible pain, nor can words mecas re the bereavemenmt of our people. S. D. McENERY." HIow doth the little busy bee ! Sfew days ago the Greenville News aid that the only traces of disunion nd the spirit of secession that now emain, are found in the Christian hurches; and called attention to he want of union betw'en the forthern and Southern Baptists. A ood brother promptly took the Ves to task and instructed that aper in church history. Brother Villiamns admitted that lie had "p)ut is foot in it;"' and, what is most stonishing of all, he confessed hat when lie wrote what he wrote, e ilidn't know what he was writing bout ! How dotht the busy bee ? A number of applications have een made for the position made acant on the railroad commission yex-Gov. Jeter's death, The Colum ia correspondent of the News and ourier says the appointment of a ommissioner will nbt be made n l the Governor has had ample time :>make a good selection. There 3 no pressing need for an immediate ppointment, as the two members ow in ofice constitute a quorum, nd the business of the commission as gone too far to be reviewed y the new member. The Emperor William has issued decree ordering that the 10th and th days of next November be ob erved as the four hundredth anni ersary of the birth of Martin Luther. ~he Emperor says, in the decree : "I ray that God may listen to the upplications in which I and all angelists unite, that the celebra ion may be productive of lasting enefit to our Evangelical Church." A swindler traveling under the ame of Rev. D)r. Lemuel Good ch, a Presbyterian preacher, was onvicted before a trial justice, in 'reenville, on the '24th, of obtain ig goods under false pretenses. fter the trial he dodged the Con able and absconded. During a bay of several months in Green ille, he associated with the negroes, nd fleeced them on all sides. FOR TEE HERALD. TENANTRY-BY NEGROES. MESSRS. EDITORS:-Your comments o1 he extract you made from Mr. Davis, in th, ast number of the HERALD. are in my opin ion very just and appropriate. You hav :ouched a subject which involves the ques ion which lies at the foundation of th tgricultural thrift and prosperity of th South. The unusual crops of last year bar 5ad the effect to withdraw, in a measure he attention of the people from the con sideration of this subject. They seem t have lost sight of the fact, that nature dil more for them than they did for themselves Scarcely in the memory of the living, ha there ever been a year, during which th seasons were so propitious for all kinds c crops, grown at the South, the great stipl and all the cereals, as they were last yeat Neither our system of labor &r of cultiv. tion had much to do with the esults. We need "a system of tenantry" not oni "to till the land," but to till it right; 4vbic will make the soil produce the largest yield under all the variations of seasons, to whicl it is exposed. We need not only stead labor, but labor controlled and directed b intelligence, in order that our lands may b improved, and made to produce their xAi Imum yield. This is thCgreat DEsIDERATU3 Now, negroes, left to themselves-tenants c lands, to be worked by them as they pleas( and when they please, are a curse to th country. And they prefer their systeac whether they realize anything at the end of th year or not. The great majority of them ar in elysium, if they are allowed to occup lands, cultivate them at will, in the old "slij shod" way, consume the provisions furnist ed to them by the landlord or merchant da ing the current year, and then begin anotb on the same line. This plan, which lit been adopted by some of our landholder will prove serious to the country. Unles the modern agricultural improvcments, i modes of culture and farming implement are generally adopted. the farmers an planters will find, in the end, their inves ment to be without profit, and their flek impoverished. The negro despises all iunovi tions in cultivating the soil The old wees lug hoe, scooter, shovel, or twister plow at all the implements be wants, the first to 1 used by the hands as he wills, and the thrt last mentioned to be drawn by half-starvc animals, furnished by his landlord, or bougt by him, under a LIEN, from somebody wb is glad to get rid of the creatures at at price. How many farms in Newberry ai run in this way, Ido not know, but there ut several of the sort within my knowledge. How to remedy the evil is, as you say, perplexing question. To displace negro lab< with that of white immigrants would be slow process, if practicable at all. By tI plan now in partial operation, I do ni believe it can be done-and I do not kno that it would be desirable; for as a mei LABORER, I doubt whether the immigrat would better the condition of things. What the South needs is an increase in ti number of landholders, a hardy, industriot white population, who are interestcd in ti soil. If any scheme can be devised to th end, something may be done towards revi ing the agricultural prosperity of the Stat If the persons who own large tracts of at cultivated lands would have them divided ii to smaller tracts, and offer them for sal upon reasonable terms, purchasers would 1 found at home, and would come from abroa< to settle them, and in a few years the Stal would present an entirelynew aspect. Tb would be an inducement to immigrants i the right sort to come arongst us. Will tt present landholders do this? It looks as they'would rather buy more land. A SMALL FARMER.
