Tie (nliumbia Union in Coianent ing upon Dr. Winkler's letter, in re &rird to crimo in South Carolina, says: "Tlhe ri ason why crime is not punibh ed is to be acco'uted for by the fact that nearly every Sheriff in the State is an active Democrat and nearly all the civil flieers are in sympathy with that party." Pleasc M r. Jnion giv6 ts the tranes of the I)cemratic Sheriffs In thit Slate, an:d tell us how thoy happened to le elected with "Thirty Thousand Republican Majority" against them. The tunre artiale says that -a prison er was pardoned a fewv weeks since. wt ho was found guilty of stealing his own property, by a Democratic jury, and that a Democratio judge sent him to the penitentiary. Please, ir. Union, give us the name of the Deinocratio judge and jury. If their is a I)emnocratie judge on the Deich of South Carolina we would like to see what lie looks like. I'he Crowinhg Act of Inufiamy. It is conceded by every honest inan that th, bill recently pas!.ed thro' the lower branch of the Legislature, l, galizing the bond frando, is the miost iifaious an ci d dialaical act of legisl a tion that has yet been inflicted lkion this State by public thieves and plun deiers, styling themselves legislators. It is openly assertd and utlieved that a large amount of money was used by the Financial Board to secure the passage of this bill, nd crtain I circumnstanoes, that we will re call, goI to show that improper influene of' some kind was exerted over a mnajority of the nmembere. It will be renmem bered that early ini the present ses sicsn a committee, with Ilowyen as its chiairmian, reported an over -issue o bonds to the extent of upwar da of six millions of dollars, and eomimended that prooedings he instituted against the pat ties responsible therefor. This report was concurt-od 'in by nearly a hvo thaird/s mnajority of thle Ilouse. This is a matter of record. Nowv in the face of this, a bill is introdnteedl and pa.ssed v'al idati ng and legalizing Lthis over-issure, and throwing around the Financial Bloard immunity from prosecution and punnishment. If that Board committed no fraud, why the necessity for legalizing their acts? It is a pelain admisin that bond~s were issued without authority of law and through fraudulent insti-utihen talities. The perpetrators of those frauds ought now to he in the Penitentiary, and if justice was properly' meted out, they would be there. Instead, how ever, we witness the sight, unparat lelled in modern times, of law-makers sh ield ing htumn just punishment the violators of the laws they themselves Ienacted. For coldebloodled villainy, we can conoceive of nothitig of a public character that conuld possibly approxi tnato to this act. tOf all our griev ances, it is the hardest to bear, and in ouir woo, We involuntary et') omit1 Oh Lord ! how long Labor Retionu~um The question or Labor Rtefot-m, the agitation < which began only a few years ago in this coantry, has btecomoe one of surprising magnitude and im portance, and it now bids fair to give birth to a very powerful political par ty, whielh tay eventually be the ruling element in the Uinited States. As a separate political organization, distinct from eithet- of the two great~ parties tha.t have hitherto disturbed. this seetion of the globe, its status was specifioally defi-eed by the con. Yention which met about ten or twelve days since in Ci tbwa.. Ohi. 'rh platform there adopted, embodying its governing principles, is In many respects aminontly eonsOrtative, and appears to moot in geaeral terms the exigencies of the times. The "Pro. teotive tariff" elause howeve'r oaanot meet with the sanotion, in our opin ion, of the m'abrity of the - laboring olasses. Free trade, if adopted, will eortainly benefit the laboring man more than any other individual, ad we are unable to seo how the prinoi plo of "proteotidA" can be engrafted. into the platform of the L bor party, unless it is conitrolled by a fe' sltish politicians, not in full s.npathy with the true interests of the patty. The oott of the Inbor Refof'v movement are commendable In may particulars, and it carried Outs lhaI work for the good of the %aultry-.

In the low'et branch of the JegiE. lature on Wednesday, there eane up for consideration and action "the bill making valid all the bonds and 'obll gations issued in behulf of tle State ts inentioned and 'et forth in the f. port of the Treasuretr to the General Assem Lbly, ratifying and contouing all the iRsues) and declarihg the bonds to be legal and valid, for the payment of which the faith, ciedit and funds of the State are pledged.' The passAge 5f this bill will legalize all the mon strous frAuds in he is.uing of bonds, the full exposition of wYhioh was laid before the Legislature early in the present session, and in offtet sets the seal of approval uponi the bare-futed swindling and thirting -practiced by the Financial Board. We can con 3eive of no language strong enough to condoin dieservedly so iniquitous a measure. It shiws t"3 what depths 'f inlfauy the lowest initiluts of man may carry himq and tle single don teniplation of siuch hn act bf villainy almosj.t makes thi blood run cold in orveinsk.

In this connection, we lay before our readers thle protest 01f the Demo. erats in the Legislature against the passage of the bill in question- To their cre~dit6 three Reopubhtoans have their namecs to the ptrotet Upon passing the bill arelating to thme bonds of the S:ate of South Caro lina" to its third reading, we vote no, npon every acetion and line., fur the following r'easo, a :"Under this bill, a tax of six mills, in addition to all other taxes, must. be levied to pay the interest on the amount of State debt as reported by the Treasurer, this will awell time State tax levied tupon the people to 20 umilis, exclusive of the tax levied under the license law and( stamip bill, which can and we fear wiill be passed by the same instra mentalities that seoured the passage of this bill ; this tax, amounting in the aggregate to 29 mills, our people cannot pay ; antl cannot be necessary for any legitimate purporosof an hon est government. liesides iif the Stocks and bonds heretofore issued, the total amount of whieh is an unknown quantity, were isued in conformity to and by the authority of laws already passed, then they are already legal, and need no further liaw to validate them.
