Do they ho d over till thn Legisla u-c devises some otbev form of Couu'y givrrnmeu or will it b? inwfu to elect a new board next November Attorney Gmertl McL utiu considered the Mibjc t raiefolly and found a number ot kit t y points wrapped up in it. After ma. ture del beration Mr. McLsnriu wrote the to lowing opin on : Your letter of ye^erdsy'a date Ins teen rOA/IIWu.t r* ? l? 1. X* - * ' -,?v..v, im < J' " ? > i'ir me u iilllull of the Attorney General ?s t what effect. if aiiy, tlic fnssige of the ooustilul ?u?l aineudiuesit at'ol sh'ng the ofliie of Couu y Commias ouci- xv-i up.-n tlic exiti ng b >ards, and also if the present office's ho <1 o*cr r unil new on?*8 nr?* elected. "Sccti -n 19 of Art c!c 4 of our C ustitution provded for a board of County Commissioner* to be c eeted biennially, aul defined the g-mral jurisdiction of such b>~.rd'. "An amendment to the constitution 'providing tor ihe repeal of thi* sect on wis ?u mi ted to the quilfici v.-t ns of ilie State at t!ie gcnera< elect on of 1890, an 1 a ro-jor, fly it iu favor of tho repeal. Lhe usual Act ratifying amendments t? the const i t ulion was pissed at t!ie first session of the next General Assembly. "It is certainly a pnpor attribute of legislative p >wer to provi to s litahlo machinery for the coudnct of County aff iirs. "Any doubts existiug on tho points in question I aui gatificd have arisen from a misapprehension of what is the effect of a Stole oonslitu'iou on a legislative power. "The constitut'ous of tho Stales aro declaralions of negative powers, while that of ilie United States is a grant of affirmative powc s. Wo look in the Constitution of the United States f ?r grants of legis'ative j owcr, but iu the Constitution of the State to ascertain if any lim taious haTC been imposed upon the com pit to power with which tlio legis'ative depa-tuient of the State was Tested in its creatirn. l'ho tectlou of the Con 'itimm which was repcael was simply ot an affirmative logislaiire chsraotor, ant * lie Legislature *oull hate had power tj crcttc the present boards wi hoot any constituti nil authority, or ti have proTided some other system tf Cotiuty gorerDntcn-, and the Statute law is it now stands is uot in conflict with the Constitution. "The constitutional rcstr ction crea cd by the Socti->n refc rt-d t> operated ti prevent ^y the Legislature fiom altering thcscheute ot County government, txcept in conform ty with that provi-in, and the amendment striking out this provision leaves to the legislative power an unlimited and unris ricted control over the County governments. This restrict:on being removed th; lcgis'ature may now iu its wislnm provide tuch system as may bo deemed best calculated to promote the welfare of the people. In all such cases no intuntion to abrogate previously exi-t;tier laws can he nresiinio.l in ?h.? absence of expression to that effect. English, on Statutes. "1 ut dcrstand the rule as laid down by Cooley an 1 oilier authorities to bo in eubftaucc that where a Statute has beon passed by the Lcgislatu e within its general legislative powe s, but in pursuanoc of an nflirmativo direction in the constitution, the repeal of thi t dirccti in will not n^ces-arily op* rite to repeal thi Statute, but the validity of the Stutute will be referred to the geucral legislative p wer. "It is therefore my opiui-n that the Statute law upon the subject of the County Commissioners is of full force and not abridged or repealed in any way by the constitutional amendment, and that the terms of the pioscut olBcers wilt end upon the election a id qual fic ition of their successors. The elccti for Cicse ollicars under this construction of the law wilt of course talte place at the usual time fir holding an election." ? ? Moiial Knt.tautt.ity.?We wonder ut the monstrous cruelty of past ages. How could they have been nossible, we ask, since "human nature has always been the some?" Hut human na me has not always bceu the same; it Ins always been changing; it is changing now, and it will always continue to change. And (ho rate of improvement is continually accelerating. Those born sinoe the war tiud it ditlicult to ennpreheud the barbarities of even one short generation ago. Their cluldren will fuul the barbarities of to-<Jay Equally incredible. The horrors of S.berin, of the Hussion persecution of Israel, of the u> less famous sweat-shops in our own country, may relegate tho latter third of the nineteenth century to the same liml o of infamy to which the ages of Nero and S m n Legreo are condewued, notwithstanding the couipa'utivcly great ameliorations in iiuiium hi ui inn milium ncv. Still later generations will wonder at tlie possibility of inhumanity which in our day condemns tho ninny to lifo shortening and life-embittering toil that the few may consume in luxurious idleness the price of their sweat aud suffering; at tho travesty ofjus' ticc which punishes the criminal who robs his one victim with bis puny arm of ilosh and bends the knee to the rufliau who despoils his thousands with his mightier brain ; at tho selfish greed of the titled idlers who partition the soil among themselves and take hen?y toll of the multitude of Eaith's ch'l Iren for presuming to lire upon the bosom of their common mother; at tho unspeakable cruelty orthoses which flatten and spoils with indulgence a por.ion of the other sex. and drives by its tyranny another portion to s arvati in, suicide, or infamy. Sl.xoat School Convention.?The fifteenth ses ion of the South Carolina Sunday School Convention will he held in tho Methodist Church, Marion, April 5?7, Indications are that the convention will he aitcaded by large numbers of delegates front every section of the State. The exetrises will c im.nenco on Tuesday evening with a thanksgiving service that will he conducted by President 8. B. Ezell. The address of welcome will be delivered by C. ?A.

After working committees have been appointed an add ess will be delivered on "Our Ohjcjt," by William Reynolds, of Peoria. Illinois. Mr. Keynolds is one of tho m -si active Sunday school workers in this country, and is a most eloquent and interesting speaker, lie was ut the convention in Charleston two yea fa ago and mail a a highly favorable impression on a 1 who heard him. Sessions will be held on Wednesday nn.l Thursday morning, afternoon and light. Mr. F. P. Wlnlden, of Charlc-ton, the well known Sunday school coraetjst, will lea l tho mus e with his silver cornet.
