Petty Offences.
Thora lins boon n good deni of discussion
hy tho pr CBS of tho Stato es to tho proprioty
of sonio legislation looking to tho moro
ndequato punishmont of petty crimes. All
ngrco that tho present law docs not protect
tho proporty of our popio from Iho deproda,*
tions of petty rogues and that thcro should
bo n chango. Tho whipping post has boon
suggested by aomo, whilo othors object to it
ns n relic of barbarism, and nrguo that its
adoption would bo a step backward in ci viii -
zation. Wo think it n good rule to fi-?ht tho
.devil with fire, and to correct barbarian
offences with liko punishment. Thieving is a
relic of barbarism and wo seo no reason why
it should not bo punished ns in oldon times.
Hanging is a relic of barbarism, and yet it is
a necessity to protect lifo from tho hands of
assassins. Tho fellow who has plunged tho
knife into thc heart of his unoffending
neighbor, or who has pioroed his breast with
ft cowardly bullet, may cry it is barbarous
when ho feels tho ropo tightening around his
throat* yot thc law says it is justioo and
society approves it as a mercy and protection
to poacoablo and unoffending citizens. This
maudlin sentimental philanthropy, which
protects criminals at tho expense of honest
mon, is weakness. It is not tho lash that
?disgraces tho man, but tho crime which brings
him to tho lash. In tho eyes of all honest
men thc rogue is no less disgraced, whether
ho ho whipped or imprisoned, and ns tho
erinie constitutes tho disgrace, tho punish
ment should bc of a character to deter.
However, wo aro no special advocafo for
tho whippingpost, but only for tho en no tm ont
of some moro adequato punishment, so ns to
etop tho petty thieving now so common. Thc
Jier/islcr and News and Courier advise tho
chain gang as preferable to the whipping
post, and wo arc entirely willing to give it a
trial. It is not barbarous in tho old timo
B0DS0 of tho term, as it is a refinement of
modern civilization. It utilizes tho rogue,
while it punishes him and gives bim indus -
trous habits. This is n utilitarian ago, and
wo aro ready to fall in with tho advocates of
tho chain gang by way of trial. If wo can
ninko our thieves a band of Inborors, building
railroads, working on streets and thus paying
for their keeping, it will bc less oxpenaivo to
tho State, whether or not it bo moro effectual
in suppressing crime. No ono can doubt but
?bo rnguo bates labor of nil kinds, for this
characteristic ?3 tho chief causo of thioving.
Wo feel sure, too, that muny thiek skinned
fellows had rathor toko rt quick drubbing, and
bo nllowod to resumo their pilfering, thnn to
?so tho shovel or mattock for a few months,
liosidos, if a fellow finds that stealing is sure
to load him to hard labor by day and con
finement by night, ho may easily reason that
it ia better to work for an honest living
and havo his liberty. As tho stomach of
modern civilization is too dolicato and
squeamish for thc lash, lot us try tho chain
gang. Anything to savo our pigs and pota
toes, our hen roosts and gardons from tho lazy
night prowler and vagabond.
CiRDOZO'? TRIAI.,.
Tho trial of F. L. Cardozo, ex State Treasurer,
began in Columbia last Thursday. Ho was
charged with conspiracy, in connection with
ox-Lieutenant Oovornor Qleaves, ox>.Spcakor
Leo and Jo. Woodruff, Clerk of tho Senate,
and A. O. Jones, Clork of tho IIouso of Rep
resentativos, to defraud tho Stato out of
$4,000, thc conspirators to divido tho funds
equally. A liol. pros, was cntorcd ns to Leo,
Woodruff and Jonos, who havo tostifiod in
bohnlf of tho Stato, and Olcaves has novor
been arrested, so that Cardozo is alono on
trial. After somo troublo about challenges
and tho logality of thc jury, a jury was om?
A pannollod, consisting of five whito and sovon
"> colorod men. Tho Stnto is roprosontod by
.Oonornl Conner, with Messrs. Miles, You
mnns, LoConto and Abnoy. and tho defendant
;by Judgo S. W. Moiton. Tho tostimony of
Loo and Woodru?'shows clearly a conspiracy
to draw from tho Stato Treasury $4,000, an
unexpended balancoappropriated for legisla
tivo exponeos, by a warrant for legislative cxo
pon803, and to divido tho procoods botween
tho fivo porsons namod, each gotting $800.
Tho warrant was drawn in tho name of C. L.
Frankfort, a flotitiou? porson, rcprosonting
tho initials of Cardozo rovorsed, and according
to tho conspiracy it was signed by Olcavos
rtnd Loo and countersigned by Woodruff and
Jones, tho clerks of tho two housos. Jones
corroborates Loo and Woodruff in somo
points. Tho testimony of Woodruff shows
that tho issuing of fraudulent certificates was
arogulor businoss and Amounted annually to
a largo sum. Cardozo has testified nnd de
nied tho Btatcmont8 of those witnesses and has
endeavored to exc?lpalo himsolf by allega
tiona of honesty iu refusing a heavy bribe
in tho printing swindle, and nloo in n fraud
ai, uljnt certif?calo for $5,000, tfrawu iu favor of
k
ono Mon iain, which Ito indignantly refused
und ordered cuncellod in hid prc6onoo. Tho
testimony closed Friday night and tho jury
wcro kept togother in tho billiard room of tho
Columbia Hotel.
On Saturday Cardoso was rooallod and
examined nt longth as to his refusal to rcoeivo
bribes, nnd ns to an ovor issuo of certificates
of indebtedness, which ho claimed bad boon
canoolled, and whioh was*- oonfirmod by rofe
renee to tho troasury offieo. This is hold as a
good strike for Cardozo.
For tho Stato both Woodruff and Jones
wore recalled, contradicting Cardozo in his
denial of rccoiving bribes and porcontngos for
payments. Woodruff sworo it was a standing
arrangement between Cardozo and tho clerks
that he, Carduzo, should havo ton por oont.
on all his payments to them. In proof ho
read from bis book of tho payment to Cardozo
in January, 1873, of $25,000, and tho promise
to pay moro; also, of Other sums in subsequent
months. Ho also showed that Cardozo
claimed that his clerks should havo a taste of ?
tbo good stealing; to whioh Woodruff re
sponded favorably; ono of thom also to havo a
piano to sooth his savago breast. Wo all
know that Curdozo as a poor man with a
smalt salary lins grown rioh in a few years
and that his clerks havo lived in olover, and
this can only bo accounted for by believing
what Woodruff states.
Hardy Solomon and L. N. Zonly, of tho
Solomon Bank, also testified ia behalf of tho
Stato, contradicting Cardozo in many of his
virtuous statements.
Monday tho caso was arguodby Mr. Milos
and Qon. Conner for tho Stato, and Judgo
Moiton for tho dofooco. Tho Judgo charged
tho jury on Tuesday. Wo havo not heard tho
finding ol tho jury.
This trial roally involves but ono point,
whether Cardozo is guilty of conspiracy, with
Cleaves and others, in defrauding tho Stato
out of $4,000, in tho fraudulent certificate
issued and paid in tho namo of C. L. Frank
fort. Tho testimony has wandered wido of
issuo aud has opened out tho darkest minc
of frauds over concocted, unless it bo tho
Tweod frauds in Now York. Whether ho bo
convicted or not, tho rottenness and rasoality
of tho Radical government has boen tho?
roughly oxposcd.
Congres?
Has finally organized and began work. In
tho IIouso considerable timo was spent in
discussing tho prima facie right of members
to bo sworn in, and then await tho decision of
protects, or tho rofcrenco to tho Committee on
Elections of tho rights of contesting parties,
without admitting either contestant. In tho
oases from South Carolina tho members
having tho Chamberlain certificates were
admitted and sworn in, and tho contestants
sent beforo tho Committoo on Elections.
Though a Democrat, wo boliovo this decision
was right, and that tho admitted mombcrs
had prima facie cases. It is thought, how
over, that the Democratic contestants havo a
good case, and may finally got their soats,
Tho caso from Colorado excited debnto for
nearly a week, and finally neither party was
admitted, the rights of tho contestants with
all tho ovidonco being reforrod to tho Com
mittec on Elections.
In tho Senate, a largo number of bills havo
hoon introduced-nearly 800. Among thoso
wo notice a bill to repeal tho bankrupt law,
Tho House hcretofoio passed such n bill, but
it was d.idatcd in tho Senate Every effort
to amend tho law so as to prevent abuses of
it has failed, and its ropcai is thought proba,
bio. Tho timos, which it was thought de
mandod sotno such law, havo passed, and if
it ovor did any good, it can no longer, whilo it
affords both inducements and opportunities
for fraud. Wo think it is old enough and
has dono enough harm to die absolutely. Tho
idea has become common, nnd it is in tho
main well founded, that when a mang?os into
bankruptcy his asaots pass33 to lawyors and
o'diccrs of tho Court and tho creditor must
pocket his loss. In this country a notice to a
creditor of a bankrupt U trcatod ns waste
paper, and in vory raro casos doos any ono
think of presenting hip cleim. lt makes
men dishonest, demoralizes honest trndo and
unsettles business. Tho insolvont laws of
every Stato pr?vido sufficient remedios for
persona who have boon unfortunate in busi<
ness, aro less expensive, and neouro to
creditors a fair pro rata sharo of whatever
assets tho debtor has. In such cases the
property of tho insolvont is administered in
thc Stato courts and in tho county whore tho
debtor lives, nnd generally tho accounting is
fair and honest. Wo profor tho old law, and
hopo Congross will lop offontiroly tho bank
rupt system with its high fees.
'ir?ic Election.
Tho election for Sheriff was held last
Thursday. Tho voto was alarmingly small,
and shows how onsy a preconcerted arrange?
mont might havo defeated our nomination.
Tho peoplo should remember that oternnl
vigilanco is tho price of liberty, and should
fool that voting was net only a high privilcgo
but an important duty. Thcro woro polled
in tho county only 557 votes for Sheriff, ns
follows:
J. II, Robins, 545 votes.
J. M. Hudson, 9 votes,
Scattering, 3 votes.
For Coroner, S. II. Johns received 537,
thoro hoing no opposition. Our voting
strength is ovor 2.G00, and hardly ono fourth
of it was polled. It is truo thcro lind boon n
nomination, but wo all should vote at every
election, lost in an unwary moment troublo

Thanksgiving ?ml Frnyor.^
Tho following is tho full toxt of tho prricla
tnnllon issued by President Hayes for tho'ob
eorvnnco of thanksgivingand prayer by tho
pcoplo of tho United States.
Tho completed oirolo of eummornnd winter,
seed timo nod harvest, han brought us to tho
accustomed season at which a"religious pooplo
celebrates with praiao nnd thanksgiving tho
enduring moroy of Almighty God. This do
vout and pubho confession of tho constant
depondonco of man upon tho Divino favor for
all tho good gifts of lifo und health, and poaco
and happiness, so oarly in our history made
tho habit of our pooplo, finds in thosurvoy of
tho past year now grounds for its joyful and
grntoful manifestation.
In all tho blessings which depend upon be
nignant seasons this has indeed bcon a momo
rublo yoar. Over tho wide territory of our
country, with all its diversity of-soil apd eli
mate abd products, the earth has yiobled a
bountiful return to tho labor of tho husband
man. Tho health of tho pooplo has bcon
blighted by no provalent or widespread dis
eases. No groat disasters of shipwreck upon
our coasts or to our onmmorco OD tho seas havo
brought loss and hardship to morehants or
mariners, and clouded tho happiness of tho
community with sympathetic sorrow. In all
that oonoorns our strongth and poaco and
greatness as a nation; in all that touches the
permanence and soenrity of our govornmoiit
and tho bonificent institutions on w.hioh it
rests; in all that e fie e ts tho character and
dispositions of our pcoplo, and tests our ca
pacity to onjoy and uphold tho equal nnd (Voe
condition of socioty, now pormancnt and
universal throughout tho land, tho experience
of tho last year is conspicuously marked bj
tho protecting providonco of God, and is full
of promise and hopo for tho coming genera
tions.
Under a soase of thoso inQuito obligation!
to tho Groat Ruler of times and seasons and
events, let us humbly nscribo it to our owr
faults and frailties if, in any dogrco, that por.
foot concord and happiness, penco nnd justice
which such great mercies should difl'ust
through tho honrts and livos of our pooplo, di
not altogothcr and always and cvcrywhcri
provail. Lot us with ono spirit and with om
voice lift up praiso and thanksgiving to Got
for His manifold goodness to our land, Ut
manifest Caro for our nation.
Now, therefore, ?. Rutherford B. Haye?
President of tho United States, do appoin
Thursday, tho 29th day of November next, n
a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and
earnestly recommend that, withdrawing them
solves from secular cares and labors, tin
pooplo of tho United Stains do meet togotho
on that day in their respectivo places of wor
ship, thora to give thanks and praiso to Al
mighty God for His mercies, and to devouth
beseech their continuance.
Congressional Incidents.
On tho 18th ultimo, in tho House of Rep
roBontatives, tho following proceeding too
place:
After Mr. Wood's motion passed, Mr. Co
immediately arose and moved to adjourn
whereupon Mr. Garfield begged but tine
minutes to have a petition read by thc Clerk
saying that it was a very important poiitior
and ono that interested him greatly, an
indeed had touched bis heart, &c., &c. Lcav
was granted, and it was a petition from tw
hundred negroes from North Carolina, nskin
an appropriation from Congress of $100 ead
to carry them to Libor'm, and recited tin
twclvo years' experience had taught thom tin
til is was to ho a white man's country, an
that thc increase of population showed tim
employees increased moro rapidly than cm
ployers, and convinced them that they wei
unable to copo with tho white man. It, mort
ovor, recited a great deal about tho negi
being brought from Africa against his wil
and prayed that bo would not now be retainc
boro whon willing to return to tho lund of h
fat hors. No sooner had this petition bee
read than a, member from Pennsylvania pr<
son ted a petition, (a hundi? tightly corded ii
of foolscap nt least six inches in diamctci
signed by .T7.000 white laborers, nsking g<
vernmontal aid to onablo them to movo in
tho wild Northwest. This just opened tl
way, nnd petition af'or petition of tho san
sort was prof on ted and referred, till ''Pi
Iron" Kolly capped tho climax by preso itiii
a petition signed by ono man, "a white mn
citizen of Pcnnsylaanin," asking Congress
so logislate as to mako thc dollar of to-dr
equal in nil respects to '.ho dollar of oi
fathers, and restore tho finances of tho com
1ry to their wonted stato of purity ni
health, and as bo sat down, stated that th
citizen was W. D. Kelley, meaning Iii msc
Tho IIouso enjoyed nil theso jokes, and,
soon ns Mr, Kelley prcsontcd his petition, a
journed.
Thc Greatest Colton ?sty.
By reference to tho commercial reports
tho Journal oj' Commerce, of tho 1st inst ai
it will bc soon that thu receipts of cottou
this port yestorday woro 0,823 bales, t
largest number received in ono dav durit
the last seventeen years. In 1373 the bern ie
day's receipt was on December 8th, G.l
baton. In 1874, Novombcr 23d, 0,405 bub
In 1875, October 25th, 0,028 balos. In 187
Ootobor 23d, 0,514 bales.
This shows that Charleston is ex'endi
her grasp on intoner products, that Climie
ton is tho proper point of export for tho gre
cotton bolt, nnd that, with proper fncilit
and living railroad freights, sbo will soon tn
her plnco as tho second cotton port on t
South Atlantic coast. A remarkable foatu
in this is that there is no oxtraordina
motivo to bring cotton to market nt this tin
Last year whon thc unsettled condition of t
country forced fanners to sond their cotton
market, and tho railroads woro taxod to th
utmost capacity, tho greatest daily rocen
wore only 0,513 bales. It is not improba!
that yostorday's receipts will bo exceed
this year.
