(Kr Necessity compels us to ndhorc strictly to* the require monts of cash payments^ Lnrcouy, A negro man, whoso nomo wo did not learn, flamed a peck of corn to Hauser's Mill, on lust Saturday, und without Waiting for it to bo ground, took another bng with a half bushol, and started off. Iib Was overhauled und taken boforo a Trial Justice, whore he was allowed tho option of paying' twonty dollars or sponding thirty days in jail. It is said that ho has a good orop growing; end that his wife presented him recently with twiuf. Ho should, therefore, have been doubl V careful to maintain n good eh arne ter. For just such cases as this the whipping post nhould ho re-established. When ho is unable to pay thc fino, thero is no sonso in imprison ing him nt tho public expenso, whilo bis crop is lost for want of attention. Thirty' lashes would bo of much moro benefit than tho'fiuer or imprisonment.-Sumter True Southron. In this ease wo think tho nogro is more sinned against than sinning. Until our citi zens coaso taking such pretoxts for such un merciful treatment of thc negro is it ronsonablo to expect good feeling between tho races?' Wo trust that Gov. Hampton may not forgot his pledges to administer justice impartially. In tho namo of offended justice wo call upon him to rcmovo any officer who would inflict i-o severe n punish [neut ou a poor negro for so trilling offou80. Tho Trial Justtco by im prisoning a farmer for four weeks at this season makes him loso tho fruits of a whole your's labor and commits a greater crime against society than tho man who may attempt to steal a pock of meal. Wo protest against any such outragos by officers claiming to administer justico. Our neighbor's sugges tion about tho public whipping post is simply ro vol ting to tho sensibilities of a civilized pooplo. Wo hopo novor to soo again any Democratic paper advocate tho revival of this rollet of barbarism and hopo to soo tho time whon Trial Justices may bo afraid, ovon if disposed, to commit so groat a crimo as tho . taking of a laborer from his farm in tho busiest season for thirty days for stooling a pock of meal.-Abbeville Press and Banner. Tho abovo gives the views of two excellent weekly journals upon tho proper punishment of persons who purposely mistake tho prop erty of others for their own. We have always ngrood with tho True Southron in its view of tho correctivo and provontivo influence of the whipping post. Wo hove' always hold" that tho gallows and whipping post could not in jure any worthy citizon, while they would provo a torrar to tho dishonest and lawless. Whon wo consider tho number of larcenies committed in our section, wo aro lod to in quire how shall this increasing and unendura ble ovil bo suppressed? A month in jail is a month ot rost and good feeding to tho lazy rogue who is a post to society. A year in tho penitentiary has becomo a year of liberty with good school privilege*, so that arsons, burgla ries and laroonies of all grados have booomo of common ocourronco. in tho past ton days throe or fuur havo occurred in and around Walhalla and tho thing has boon increasing annually for a numbor of yoars. Whoa and where will it stop? Shall society suffer at tho hands of tho idlo and vicious, and not punish crime booauso tho only effective punishment ? "rovolting to tho sensibilities of a civilized people?" Tho prosont civilisation is becoming so sensitivo that soon tho highwayman, who lies in wait and slays tho innocent, cannot bo hanged, because it is rovolting to oboko a man to death. Why not whip for larceny ns well as hang for murder? Tho ono affects life, the other proporty, and tho objoot of punishment in all cases is to provont orimo. A man is hung that tho oxamp'o may torrify others from suoh o Hence s and to put it beyond his powor to commit again mordor. Apart from1 tho example of his punishment, his imprisons mont for lifo would answer tho samo purpose; So in larceny, wo should have oxnmplo as well us imprisonment, for tho whipping post is not only a torror to tho roguo, but it is a powerful reformer ul tho morals. Wo well remembor how few larcenies wei o committed be foro tho war whon the "cross" was found in our jail yarda. Wc' boliovo we could count on our lingers nil tho whippings for laroonies that occurred in our county fur tsventyMivo yoars. Now it would tako a notch stick to keop tho tally of two yoars of convictions of laroonies. Why in this? ilooauso tho punishment is a faroo and oporatos to oneourago idleness and orimo. Whon rapo and arson and burglary WOl'O punished with death how sold mi wcro those crimos committed and bow few so called nooidontal burnings occurred. Wo do not think any person was ovor executed in this county for orson nnd only ono or two for oithor of tho othor crimes, and yet there have been a number of trials for all thoso offonoes nineo rooon? fltruotion, whilo a number of houso burnings omni ti undiscovered and unproscoiltod. Wo oliovo that soojoty has rigiits which' should io proteotod and that rogues and murderers, tho put themselves OUtsido thc palo of civil zed Booloty, must toko tho oonsequonoes, hellier they bo called barbarous or not. .'bloving is now tho greatest and most corn ion ovil of tho day, and it must bo stoppod y adequate punishmont or proporty ownors ill bo compollod to toko tho law into thoir vu bands, Only two nights ago ono of our * d neighbors had his smoko houso dug undor nd all his moat and lard stolon. Doo* tho Ight pro'wlor dosorfo special consideration al tho hands of hontiet, hard working pdop??? white or block? He would laugh at tho jail and penitentiary, regarding thom n kind of resting plaoo and boarding sohool combined, whore ho could oat and drink with only sUob labor as amounts to good exorcise Wo ard not wedded to tho whipping post ns a proven* tivo of luroony, but wo think it or somo other corporal punishment should bo infliotod on rogues. If they could bo worked, as thoy do 1? Goorgta, thia might answer, but no ono can bo blind to tho nooossity of somo sevoror punighmont than at present inflicted. Tho stealing of a cow or sfreop or hogs or other proporty of foss valuo than $20 oan only bo punished by imprisonment for thirty days or a- fino not ?bova $100. Tho fine is never paid and tho imprisonment is an oxponso to tho county and generally a relief if not rt pleasure 'ito the criminal. ?f wo had whipping or somo rovero punishment for tho sooond offonco in such cases it might answer, but whether civil ized or uncivilized, Democrat or Republican, wo bato crime and want to soo it so punished as to provent its repetition and to protect society by the example of ita punishment. -- -?y f ?-. , Tbc I, a fror Stritte. ' Thc great strike among tho railroad-labor" ors, which bogan at Martinsburg on tho Butti moro and Ohio Railroad, on tho 18th of July, sooms to have virtually spout itself. A short account of the spread and terrible work of this unprecedented move will bc fa if nd in' our col mn ns. Its origin was due to a reduc tion of ton per cont, on tho wages of certain classes of laborers on tire various roads North-, which went into effect on tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on tho 1st of" Ju ly. Wo believe' contemplated roduotions woro either proposed? or determined on at various timos on other roads. Tho strike bogan eighteen days after tho reduction of tho wagos, and tho rapidity of its spread, as woll as tbo wido aroa it covered, showed there had bcon during tho elghtoon days a planning and union among tho employees of a largo numbor of roads. Por years past wo have hoard of strikes among tho minoro, mechanics and othor laborers of the North, but thoy have provod mero tempo* rary suspensions of work whioh amounted to ^nothing, and in which tho laborers carno off second best, as they always must, but no ono ever dreamed of suoh a general and widosprond labor movement as tho ono which has just closed, Vt seems that thousands woro engaged in it, nnd that in tho outset tho citizens and soldier militia in tho neighborhoods of tho strikers sympathized with- tho movoment. This omboldonod tho strikers and lcd thom to excesses-which thoy neither contemplated at the outset' nor can now approvo of, and which, whoa committed, not only lost' thom tho sympathy of tho' citizens, but united all classes against them*. Thoy became an un controllable mob of mixed ruffians and tramps, bent on plunder and rovenge. Life and" prop orty wore dostroyod and much ol both were uselessly sacrificed. Tu tho diffcront sections of the country affected by tho striko several hundred persons woro killed and- wounded, many being women and children. So, too, n largo amount of proporty, chiefly belonging to railroads, was destroyed. Thegroatos? lose of life and property occurred in Pittsburg, tho loss of proporty amounting to bcveial millions of dollars. Tho formidable character of tho movement can best bo realized when wo consider thal tho Governors of several Statos found it hnpos? Bible to presorvolifoand proporty without Fodo ral aid. The President of tho United States found it necessary to draw thc troops from the rebellious South to keep peace in the legal and lamb dike North. I-f such troubles* had oc curred hore they would lmvo been1 pcrvcrtod by Northern Radicals into* political troubles and would havo boen pronouncod' ominous signs of a now rebellion. Tho immediate dangor is said to bo about ovor now, though tho iicriko, in a mild form, is still spreading. Travol and transportation lins been ro opened on most of tho leading railroads and quiot and ordor is Doing restored, Though tho dangor is over there is much in tho past ton days whioh should load our people to conaidor bow in tho futuro to provent or put down snob combinations. A concerted movomont of laborers on our groat thoroughfares and in our loading oitios plunge? tho country in twonty four hours into a small civil war destroys voluablo property, susponds businoai and produces general injury to all clasaos ont avocations. Tho groatnoss aird partial suo coas of tho recent nvovenront will tend t produce n repetition on a larger sonic itt an; moment, and with thorough organization it suppression would not bo easy nor NV i thou much loss of lifo and proporty. Wo in th South will for many yoars bo oxompt fron such dangors, but wo'ctmnot foll to fiel th elle et of such movements in tho' SUppt'OSSio of business.

A member of tho Cabinet, aftor tho meeting thia afternoon, said Hie good effects of Pros i dont Hayes'Sjuthorn pdiey hud boon re markably exemplified. Ho said if thc Presi dent hud concluded to uphold Packard and Chamberlain it would havo nccessi tated tho retention of a considerable number of troops in both Louisiana and South Caro lina. In consequence of tho disturbance in tho North ut this limo tho President would havo no alternative bat to remove tho troops. Their removal would have been followed by a popular uprising against Packard nnd Chain bernini, und ino Spectacle would then have boon prosontcd of thc government having to cope with a rebellion in tho North and a re> hellion in tho South. As it was, tho govern ment, for tho first limo sinco tho wur found itself entirely rclievod from any fours ns to publio tranquillity in tho South. Thc President himself feels vory muoh cheered by this reflection nnd by tho evidences Whioh havo so frooly como from tho South of ?ta activo sympathy with his efforts to pro servo tho poaeooftho country. Tho whirli gig of limo brings about some strange things. If, ns is happily not now anticipated, Hie President should bo forced to call for vol un toora, thoro is no question boro that tho quota of tho South' would ba mudo up in un incredi bly short timo, and Southern soldiers would bc found aiding in putting down a robollion on Northorn soil.
