Prohibition. Tho ?Siuto of Iowa nt n recent election adopted by a popular majority of 40,000 votos a prohibitory constitutional amend* mont. It reads as follows: "Section 20. No poreon shall manufacturo for salo, ECII or koop for polo ns a bevorugo any intoxicating liquors whatever, including alo, wino and beer. Tho Ocncral Assembly shall, by law, proscribo regulations for tho enforcement of tho provisions heroin con tained, and shall thereby pr?vido suitiiblo penalties for violation ol thc provisions thereof." This populur volo is significant of tho great progress mudo by tho tempor?neo eic? ruent in tho past few years ar indicates ihut prohibition is likely in a few years to become n national question. Kansas has lately adopted tho Main? law nnd put it on trial and tho public pulso in thc Northwest and portions of tho East is strongly anti-liquor. lt is especially significant when wo consider tho largo foreign population of Iowa, ns this element has been generally quoted ns op posed to 6uch restrictions. According to tho census of 1880 tho voting population of that State aggregated 41C,G5S as follows: Native whites 287.030, foreign born whites 120.103, colored 3.025. It ia often stated by anti prohibitionists that such laws aro constantly violated nnd aro injurious, ns they retard immigration and development. Thc small comparativo increase of population in Maine during tho last thirty yours is cited ns proof of suoh assertions. May wo not ut t i il m te this rather to thc bleak climato and ungenerous soil of Maine, as compared with tho new States rathor than to her liquor law? It would 6ccm that it wits not prohibition which has dwarfed her increado of popula? tion, when wc soo tho Western States, tho homo of immigrants, taking tho lead in pro hibition. I*, is thought that Nebraska and Minnesota, tho lutter having n foreign b> rn majority of voters of nearly 50,000, will try thc prohibitory amendment next in tito Wost, while Connecticut,whoso voting population io nearly ono half foroigu born, will try it in tho Knit. Wo mention these facts becaufo many contend il prohibition should prevail in South Carolina its effect would ba to drive off immigration and cheek the general pros perity. Wo could not so urguo '.from thc notion in Kansas nnd Iowa. Thc question of prohibition is one ol' il i RI - cully. That liq tor used as a beverage is an evil, all will admit. That it slays its heca tombs annually in our towns, cities, counties and States is ti matter of statistical record. So, too, it begets idleness, poverty andcrimo, willi their attendant misery. It leads its victims to thc jail, tho seafield, thc poor house, or if these ho escaped, to a lifo of dis honor nnd a grate of eternal death. Cun it or should it bc stopped? As n mot" ter of conscience the Ini go mass of thc people would answer yes, bul ns ft matter of por? eotial interest and profit, many would fay no. So tho matter 6lntids and llie work of death and demoralization goes on under tho pro tection and by tho permission of tho law. Tho activity, however, of tho tempor?neo party betokens an increasing warfare against it with prospccls of final success. Thia warfare is not by sociotics nor in particular localities, but it extends over this broad land nnd across thc waters into England, France, Germany nod wherever Christian civilization exists, and ii? taking deep root among drink ing as well ns sober men, among those of thc world as well as Christians. Its abuso has Lceemo an evil of such mngnitudo that thc people aro beginning to feel it n necessity to risc up and put it down. For ibis very reason thoec who oppose prohibition an such should favor every reasonable measure which merely restricts thc salo of liquor as tho Hircst menna to prevent prohibition. As its evils increase, opposition lo its manufac turo and solo will grow stronger, while under restrictive laws thc ctilu of its abuso might BO dim'umh as to destroy all opposition to it. Thoro aro thousands to-day who like liquor nnd would bo ?-Jad to bo ablo to buy it cheap and easily who would voto for prohibition as o mcitsuro likely to promote religion, moral ity and education and as a measure which would sccuro us good anti permanent gov ernment. Tho News and Courier, in speaking of tho vote in Iovyn, says: "Wc leam that tho country people nnd farmers nearly all fa vored it and in thc town tho churches exerted ft strong influcnco in its behalf. Tho largo towns voted against it, but wero overborne by the several districts, where total abs ti naneo is moro commonly practiced nod thc evil ol intcrpornnco ia moro keenly and juttly ap preciated." Doubtless a similar feeling piova?B in thia and every Slate of the Union. Intemperate mon, who live in thc country and for month? follow their work without desiring or even thinking of liquor, on coming into town where it in sold, often find themselves tempted to drink to excess, got into brawls, lose their money and aro ofton ludged in thc calaboose and fined. Whon they got sobot nnd reflect on their folly they find thcmsolvoi poorer in puree, feeling ?orso in body am! . far mdro troubVcd in mind than if they hat not touched ir. They will reason I havo done hotter without it than with it, I can do with out it easily if it bo kept away from mo, ant will conclude that they will support any mensuro to drive its mannfaoturo and salt from tho country. Thoy seo it would ht bolter not only for them and their families but oleo for ih??r neighbors and frionds ant! tho country, if its uso could bo stopped . . ii >:.?:":.o\ poverty disappear from our land and igoor? anco and idloncfs givo pluoo to intelligence and industry, if the prime cause of those evils were removed. It ie the driuklng men of tho country who will carry prohibition if it ever bo carried. They can botter bo trusted to voto for it generally than so called Christians! moderate drinkers and moral mon. Tho S tato Convention, Of tho Democratic party will moot in Columbia on tho 1st of August for tho pur poso of nominating candidates for Stato offices. Tito Stato Excculivo Committee of tho party, having doubled tho number of delegates, our county will bo entitled to six and tho whole body will consist of 310 dologutos. Tho press of tho Stato generally favors this change, hut wo cnn soo but little benefit likely to flow from it. It is not tho number of delegates so much us tho fitness of tho men sent, which will determine tho character and qualifications of tho nominees. Tho action of thc committoo is nominally to get nearer nt tho public sentiment of tho Stato, by having a larger budy to make tho selections of candidates and also to prevent log rolling. Will it accomplish this? We think not. If tho majority of 158 delegates eau bo packed for a "cut and dried liokct" why cannot tho same bo done with 310, especially when tho inciense is a mero doubling the representation from all thc oouittiot?? Rep resentative Tillman advocated tho doubling thc members fo Congress to prcvont corrupt legislation and also to get nearer tho people. Wo cannot sec thc good of such measures. Largo bodies uro too unwieldy; too many want to speak, while but few can hear, ond they arc more liable to confusion. Delegates generally voto for men whom they think nil! ho nccoplablo to their counties, and counlie*, us a consequence, geno rally veto together, so that thc increased ttumbt r docs not change tho r?sult. What wo want in a nominating convention is men of firmness, independence, individuality and integrity. With such delegates it mailers lillie whether tho con vention bc cv ni posed of 158 er 310 members. 'flic real reform which Ibo composition of thc Stale convention need", and which is just mid fair, is that tho delegates, whatever bo their number, should bc proportioned among (he counties according to their Demo cratic voting strength, lt docs not appear to bo fair that counties having livo hundred to ono thousand Democratic voters and several thousand Republican voters should have double thc representation in tho con vention of counties whoso Democratic voters number several thousand against n small Republican vote, lt is true national conven tions nro organized on n similar basis to our Stato Convention, but wo think tho Stale Convention should bo based un thc Demo cratic strength of the counties. Our county convention has appointed ils delegates and have instructed ihem to lay before tho Stato Convention sonic proposition looking to this end. Thc delegates are good and firm men and through thom or through delegates of sonic other county similarly in structed, wc think this mensuro will bo brought before tho August Convention and thoroughly discussed. A good deal can he said on both sides of thc quoslion and its discussion may lend to a settlement satisfac tory to holders of both views. Our delegates go uninstructed on other matters. This is right, for in thc multitude of men in our Stale competent lo lill thc various offices, what wc want is ibo men who by personal popularity of reputation or ability ns speakers or nil, cnn best unify iiie people and lead us to victory. If Judge Wallace could bc induced to run ho would bc thc mar., but if not, (hen let our delegates, after conferring willi del?galos from other counties, unite, upon sorio ono who will most likely carry the State It is success wc want to win and defeat to avoid, mid willi tho present division nnd excitement about past legislation men should bo selected to whom na personal or political objections can bo urged. As lo ourself, wc will support tho ticket nominated, for defeat ut this timo would injure our every interest. Tho County Convention, Pursuant to call, met at Walhalla on tho 8th instant. Hs proceedings will bo found else where in our columns. Representative mon of Hie county wcro pres?nl as delegates from seventeen clubs.

Wo ' aro nil wanting and aiming at (ho samo ond, 1 tho best interests of thc whole Stale, and whilo ) differences of opinion may exist as to tho best , means and men to work out this end, romero? I bering that all mon nro fallible, wo should make . up our minds lo submit to thc will of tho mu Wllv. New Couti ties. Tho Legislature at tho extra session adopted a joint resolution proposing an amendaient to Sccliou 8, Ai-ticio ll of tho Constitution of the Slate, relating to tho forming of nerf counties. Thc amendment BO proposed will be submitted lo tho qualified electors of tho Stale at tho next general election, lt reads as follows: Strike Out in Seollon 3, Article ll, of Ibc Constitution tho words "bul no new county shall bo hereafter formed of less extent thau six hundred and twenly-flvo squaro miles, nor shull any existing counties bo reduced to a less extent thau six Ininti red and twenty live squaro miles," and insert in lieu thereof the following: "Provided,'That no new County shall bo foamed which has a population of less than one one-hundred and twenty-fourth part of tho whole number of inhabitants of the Stuto. ami au area less than four hundred squaro miles, nor nhill 1 any existing counties bo reduced lo a less area (linn lour hundred squaro miles." The amendment proposed is less objectionable in its preseut shnpo than if lhere were no limitation to tho sifco of tho counties. Tho prescht limitation is ono based On area alone, while the proposed limitation is based on both area and population. Notwithstanding this wo oppose tho amendment. It will increase tho oumbei of Senators, and thereby, to some ex tent, tho Stale expenditures. It will increase tho number of county oflioials in tho State aud thereby Ibo county taxes, mid further, will draw men (rom pm suit? of industry to office holding, und thus, lo some extent, lessen tho general wealth. Our county (oxes are now and nave been since 1X7ti larger than thc levy for running tho State Government. If the number of counties bo doubled, (ho number of county officials will be doubled, and thc rate per cenl. necessary to run thc machinery of Iheso counties will be largely increased, though not actually doubled. Wisc legislation consists not only in good laws, properly administered, bul in giving these, blessings to thc p?oplo at as little cost as they can bo consistent with tho reasonable conven ience ot tho people, If counties aro reduced, as proposed, will not thc pay of public officers bo too small lo alford them a competent living, and if no, will they not be compelled to add to their offices other pursuits? If so, while men may save a fow miles in reaching the court houses by small counties, they may loso them in not finding cither competent officers or of haviug to hunt them up, or to avoid this, fees must bo so in creased as to give the officers a living from theil offices. Our county contains over six hundred and twenty-live I-tjuaro milos and wo think il small enough when wo have county tuxes tt pay. Again, so far :.s remoteness from tho cour house is concerned, what benefit will result tc tho people unless nil (ho court houses anti county lines ot tho State bo wiped out am South Carolina bc resurveyed into counties o four hundred squaro miles and new publit buildings be ?or col ed as near (heir centers ai possible Charleston would no longer have i court house, nor would Greenville, which is bu five miles from thc Picketts linc, nor porhtip: would any of the present county scats Contimit such. Take our own suction as an illustration (but wc will say wc know nf no such desire o purpose,) and if parts of Ocohec, Picketts am Anderson were cul off and a new county formed would that bring tho people abovo Walhalla (tin farthest ott' of any at present) any nearer to th court house at. Walhalla? Thc same would, ii most cases wc fear, bc true, anti tho urgumou of convenience lo the people fulls to thc ground ? Wc may bc mistaken, and it' so, arc open t conviction; hut as yet wc can sec only hcavie tuxes, au increased number ot' officers, who wil ho poorly paid for their lime and service, unies costs and fees lo increased, anti really n general benefit to lite people by way of conven icuce. Wo will more al our leisure considc Iltis maller, hut our preset inclinations ni against thc amendment proposed. Timo of Holding Elections.

WALHALLA, Juno 26.-Tito friends c Adgcr Cullcgo can certainly oungrutulut themselves upon tho action of her board o trustees ot their annual meeting Tuesda lust, in effecting ii permanent organizado and electing as president of Adgcr Collcg Rev. Franois P. Mullally, D. D. Fiv years ugo this institution was tompoiarily ot ganir.cd und has been run successfully uudc thc cato of an ablo corps of professors Tito trustees were induced to take tho abov action from being satisfied that, it would b for tho best interest of tho college, that it workings! would bo moro successful, an that thu friends of thc college abroad shoul no U nger have any fours us to the petina nency of lier existence. Thc ohoico fl)r. M till.illy is eminently proper ono. He is one of thc most eloquct: pulpit orators in the Soot hern .States, a prc found scholar, und has lind extensive cxpe rienco ih teaching. Dr. Mullally was bor in 1834, in thc County of Tipperary, In laud, and left that country in Iiis fourteen! year His father belonged to that class < gentry known in Ireland as gentleman faru era, owning a lease of porno five hundn aorcs of land. His cduoation was only pa tinily completed in Ireland. He was rcuri and tutored ns o follower of that noble bac of patriots lcd by Smith O'Brien, servit hitn even in those youthful days for tt years in thc capacity of page. Afler Stu! O'Brien's arrest and transportation L Mullully being classed as a rebel for polit cul opinion's sake, nod consequently und condemnation by the party in power, 1 friends thought it best fut him to quit t country. He accordingly came to Amuri I nnd slopped in New York some six monti I hoping to obtain work in that place. B on account of his total ignorance of wot i his youthful appcoronco and probably t fact that lie had but recently boen a follow of Smith O'Brien, made it an impossibili for him to do anything, and his menus ncai exhausted compelled this stranger in strange land to seek a moro congenial spi and thus it was ho went to Hancock Count in Georgia, and I herc, as ho terms it, "in t good providence of God, ho fell into t hands of that noblo-hcaricd Southern go tleman, Col, A. J. Lane," who took him his own house where he remained ono ye and attended u high school taught by Ric ord Johnson. Thc next year ho tauf school in Jones County, Tenn.

Ho was tl given a position in tho school ns a rcgu teacher, teaching,as it is thc custom in st institutions, thu various courses, which continued to do for ? years. Having dct mined to enter tho ministry of the Prcsl terian Clutch, ho now entered tho Scinin at Columbia, where he remained during full tenn of thrco years.

At this timo ho was oalled to bo pastor of tho Presbyterian Ohuroh in Bolivar, Tenn., rotna?uing thoro tinco yoars. Thou declining a cull to Wash ington City, in consequence of the unpleas ant relations existing between the Northern and Southern Presbyterians, ho accepted a call from tho Ninth Street Presbyterian Church in Covington, Ky., and remained thero four yoars. From Covington ho was induced to movo to Sparta, Ga , thero to serve as pastor of two churches, and take charge of a largo and flourishing school, having with him in this Behool two comp? tent assistants. This chango from Coving ton to Sparta was mode in conscquenoe of his having io Sparta a near relative, to whom he expected his presence would bo salutary.
