Governor Thompson's message to the General Assembly, is a well written document of considerable length. He first treats of the State fi nances and shows ttat we have every reason for congratulating ourselves. He shows that the pub lic debt is being gradually dimin ished, while there has been a grati. fying increase in the valuation of taxable property. He says that under our present tax laws the burden of taxation is made to weigh unequally-that the present system -of assessment is cumbersome and not suited to our people. He sug gestes that a com>iission be ap pointed to report at the next session of the General 'Assembly a well matured scheme for the assessment and taxat'on of property. The amount of property returned for taxation in 1882 was $145,442,292 ; the amount returned for 1883 is: $150,609,304. His review of the condition of public education in the State is thorough, and he thinks the need for public schools is a pressing one. He suggests that such appro. priations should be made as will in erease the efficiency and promote the development of the State Uni versity and the Military Academy. He suggests that each county should bear the expenses of its insane paupers in the Lunatic Asy lum, and that those lunatics who are not entitled to charity should pay for their own maintenance. He thinks that the Penitentiary should be enlarged so that the con victs may be worked under the im * hediate supervision of the officers of that institution. He condemns the practice of leasing convicts to S.contractors. He says that, while the Penitentiary has become rev. enue producing, it is designed to prevent and punish crime, not to swell the public revenue. He says the present militia force is sufficiently large, for all purposes, but its more thorough organization and discipline and increased effi ciency are greatly to be desir$d. The new schedule adopted by the Railroad Commission has not been in operatiori long enough to enable him to offer suggestions as to the modification of the laws. lie thinks that proper steps should be taken to make a credita ble display of the resources of our State at the Cotton Centennial Er position in New Orleans, in Decem ber 1884-and thinks that the ex' hibition should be made through the departments of agriculture. While the completion of the State House must be left to the future, he suggests that the roof should be so repaired and constructed as to prevent injury to the walls. He thinks the State should defend her officers in the election trials, and earnestly recommends that the expenses of the political prisoners be paid by the State. He closes by calling attention to the encouraging progress which has been made in the last few years in *the development of manufactures -and improved methods of agricul ture in our State. The improved financial condition of our people is seen in the fact that at the close of the last fiscal year, the amount of taxes collected, exceeded by $126.. 939,35 the amount collected for the preceding year on the same levy. WET ANiD DRY. The "wet" ticket prov-ed itself stronger than the "dry" in Green ville, by 80 votes. Spartanburg has determined to try another year "dry." Cheraw goes "wet" by a majority of 40 votes. The "drys" in Charlotte bet their money on the bob-tail horse and rwon e'he election. & The Edgefield Advertiser says on the authority of Mr. H. H. Hick man, that there are enough idle ne groes in Augusta, Ga., to make 8,000 bales of cotton. Why is it everything runs into cotton ? How much richer to-day is the country than it was twenty years ago from the cottn plantingr? THE LEGISLATURE. A resolution has been adopted which provides that no bills shall be introduced in the General As sembly after the tenth instant. This seems to indicate that the ses sion will be short, and it will of course please the people. We are not of those who clamor for short sessions, without regard to the amount of work that is to be done. Few things are so much calculated to produce discontent and dissatisfac tion under the laws, as hasty and therefore ill-advised legislation. The legislati:re should take sufficient time for deliberating as to the char acter and need of laws about to be enacted, and these laws should be justly, consistently and compactly framed so that it will not be necessa ry to tinker at them year after year. Whatever the good of the State de mands in the way of legislation should be done, and done deliber ately. But, while the legislature should not be driven forward by a foolish popular clamor for short sessions, it is equally true that it should not prolong the session un necessarily. The political trials in Columbia afford a spectacle such as is seldom seen in any civilized country. A judge who is, in these trials, a strang er to justice,-two district attorneys who, acting on the presumption that the accused is guilty, pack their ju ries and exclude the operations of law from the Court,-and a jury composed- of Republicans and Greenbackers, selected by Mel ton and Speer because they expect them to be as pliant as wax in their hands-these make up a court or ganized for the purpose of convict ing accused Democrats, regardless of their guilt, or innocence. Judge Bond, contrary to all law, as well as all fair practice, allows the district attorneys to "stand aside" every Democratic juror who is called, al though in doing so he overrules his own decision on a former occa sion, and the decision of Chief Jus tice Waite. This Court is a traves ty on justice-but it has one re deeming feature; Judge Bryan re fuses to assent to the rulings of the infamous Bond, and this will carry the questions of law to the United States Supreme Court. Pending the appeal, the accused par ties wili not be imprisoned. Governor Thoripson says, very properly, that our tax laws are cum bersome, and that they weigh un equally upon the people. He sug gests, that a commission be ap pointed to introduce a better sys tem at the next meeting of the General Assembly. The subject of taxation is the most difficult and the most fruitful of discontent, that calls for legisla tion. And it cannot be denied that our present tax laws, notably those providing for the assessment of property, are unequal and unjust in their operations. Our boards of equalization may be well-meaning in putting a valuation upon -the property to be assessed, but they are not just and fair. They at tempt, we believe, to strike an aver age in assessing the lands oif each kind, in a township, and, in so do ing, they do what no just law ever did, or ever will approve. We should be pleased, with the rest of the people, to see ! adoption of just and fair tax laws. LIEUT. GARLINGTON INJURED. By telegraph to the News andc Courier we get the painful intelli gence that this gallant young Caro linian and a native of our county, while riding in the Soldier's Home Grounds, in Washington on the 28th ult., was thrown from~ his horse and seriouisly injured. Hle was carried to the house of Gen. Sturgis, where he received medical attention. His shoulder was dislocated and his knee cap fractured. His connection with the Proteus affair has rendered his name household. Our sympathy is extended to his afflicted family. We are happy to say that Gen. Garlington has received a dispatch from his son, which gives him the pleasing assurance that his wounds were simply slight cuts on his head and a contusion on his right leg, and that he is doing well. Up to the present time the Geni eral Assembly seems to have de voted Itself principally to the dis cussion of new counties. So little has been done thus far, that we are inclined to ask whether the mem bers of the G. S. have not been at tending the political trials. King Alcohol has had a long reign and he has been regarded as secure in the arbitrary exercise of his power. Butl , town after town, in this State, is falling into the line of prohibition, and the awakening on the subject of no license is full of promise of better things. THE FIRE FIENDS WORK. On the 28th an explosion took place in the wholesale drug house of Meyer Brothers in Kansas City, which was destroyed. Loss $200,000. . Ten stores were burned at Port Portage, Main, the loss not ascer tained. A cotton fire occurred in Baltimore on the 28th, the loss is roughly esti mated at $95,000, and was insured. An incendiary fire at Springfield, Mass.,. burned a furniture and grocery store, at a loss of $45,000. The town of Paris, Ohio, was burned on the 27th. All of the stores except -the bank were con sumed. Loss $150,000. Insurance small. A Hotel at Watertown, N. Y., fell a prey to the flames on the 28th. Loss $75,000. The Cortland House at Cortland, N. Y., and a block of buildings were destroyed on the 21st. Loss $35, 000. A five story Boston Hotel was destroyed by fire on the 29th. The inmates escaped in their night clothes. Loss $45,000. A fire occurred at Ocala, Fla., on the 29th by which a large portion of the town was destroyed, the Banner, office included. Loss over $200, 000, insurance small. A fire broke out in the Windsor Theatre, 54 Bowery, New York, on the night of the 29th. Several adjacent buildings were destroyed. Loss great. SUICIDE OF THREE SISTERS. Perhaps a more extraordinary suicide was never heard of than that which is reported from Venice. Three young ladies went out, took their passage to the Lido, were ob served to be very melancholy during the journey, and ended by drowning themselves. They appear to have taken their own lives, two out of melancholy and from tedium vitce, the third out of sympathy and for the sake of company, They had lost their mother, one of them had weak sight, another was subject to fits, and they had all been reading "I Promessi Sposi," the one Italian book which most English school girls have read. The least afflicted of the sisters was a girl of great beauty. Her part should have been to cheer up her sisters, to whisper sursum corda, and suggest visits to t the theatre or other ways of dissi pating gloom. But the third sister, the .young and beautiful one ac companiLd the others and shared their fate. Venice ittnot a place to i make any but a sentimental tourist melancholy. The "ghost by the sea, so pale, so quiet," of Mr. Rus kin's rhetoric is a very enjoyable a town to live in. This makes the at determined conduct of the three girls all the more inexplicable. Londol~n Daily News. The seven Sutherland sistes, now living in St. Louis, have ri-~ son to be proud of their hair. Their a capillary attractions are described y as follows: Sarah N. Sutherland, - the eldest, has long, massive and t jet-blad~k hair, falling below the waist ; Miss Victoria, whose hair is the longest worn by any woman in the world, shows a growth reaching to a length of seven and a half feet long ; Miss Isabella's hair is more i, than six feet long ; Miss Grace's ' reaches a length of almost six feet; a Miss Naomi's hair, which almost ~ V touches the ground when she stands c erect, is the most massive and beau- C tiful ever seen upon a woman's I< head; it is fully six inches through, and when spread out covers her ~ completely, like a cloak. Miss g Dora's hair is abundant and five 0* feet long. Miss Mary is the young- s1 est, her hair has already attained a wonderful growth, and is rapidly sl tending toward such length and i massiveness as will make it the most wonderful capillary decoration the world ever saw. THE SAINTS IN UTAH. SAT LAKE, November 29. - John Taylor, president of the Mor mon Church, in an interview yester day said that he did not propose to resign at present in anybody's favor. It has been rumored that he would resign in favor of Cannon, so as not to allow a split between the church and the co-operative t store. He says that all is harmony d and prosperity in the church. Three e hundred missionaries are at work b all over the world with great suc- e cess, and Mormonism is bound to ti prevail, especially in the United f States. More converts have been s brought to Utah in the past two sea- n sons since the passage of the Ed munds bill than in any four years a before. The Church organ copies n the Clevelsnd and Anti-Polygamy ti societies' constitution, and adds:b If this secret abomination initiated at Cleveland shall spread all over b the country surely the hypocrisy of 3 a nation, steeped as it is in the a slough of iniquity, shall bring upon o it the swift judgment of offended a Heaven.s f Many wonder why the brute erc- s ation excel mankind as a rule when u it comes to a question of health. Investigation quickly asceratins the cause. lIt is because the brute nht urally obeys every law of health, while mankind is constantly degen erating to excesses of our ancestors and our own idad'e4ual imprudence. Sudden expos& '. extreme clina tic influences, g.attony, improper food, alcoholic stimulants, over ex ertion of mind and body, worriment, anxiety, care, etc., all have a marked effect on the human system.
