to be hold on the 16th. The gover..
nor postponed the election till the
13th of Al-ril. But Lancaster has no
railroad nor telegraph, and the eloe
tion was safely over before the ordei

are terribly in earnest when they do
set about a thing. They were
bound to have that election.
During the Campaign, Mr. Cardo
za thought the conservatives a very
dangerons element, and warned the
faithful against them as against
lepers. Perhaps since the Conserva
tives have heaped coals of firo upon
his head by austaining him alm ost
unanimously, his opinion of them
will be slightly modified. Other.
wise, we shall have to say of him
"Ungrateful Tildy."
Polities make strange bedfellows.

The News and( Courier of the 18th
has the followinug report of the decis
ion on the last veto.
"At the evening session of the
11 ouse the message vetoing the liqni

lIn t he mIidlst of the diuScussion Ilasyne,

it conteinplate.j by the constitution.
The speaker role f the point of ord'er

members from voting on the veto
message, and the bill will. doubtless
bo held to be a law, but whethor it
ean -be sustained in the o,urts is
another question."
This interpretation inv)Ivos a
manifest absurdity, either in the
law itself or its interpretation il
the sapient Legislature. If thi3 is
llkw, then in order to i'void the ex
pected veto of the Governor, it will
ouly be necessary for the legislature
at any time to adjourn for four days
aftersending any bill to the Govor
nor for his approval or veto. This
remarkable decision wrests from the
p)oplo the greatest safeguard grant.
ed by the constitution to their rights
-the veto power of the Governor.
This interpretation reveals the
greatest monstrosity in State policy
over yet known. It stamps either
the framers of the constitution as
fools, or the legislators as knaves.
Greenville County has io treasurer
because it has too many. Latimer
and Runion both claim the place
and the matter is in the Courts. In
two indictments brought against
Runion for misconduct as auditor,
Judge Cooko ordered the jury to
find a verdict of not guilty. We
are having too much of this ordering
of juries by judges. Judge Cooke
also charged the Grand Jury of
Greenville to find a true bill against
the plucky Greenville News for
libel of Runion. The Grand Jury
refused to find a bill, and Judge
Cooke then ordered then to hold
over, day after day until they do
find a bill. The Nows, that nothing
daunted, defies the Judge. Oui
sympathies are with the Greenville
News in thit matter, as they were
when Jugdo Cooke ruled the editor
for contempt. The attempt to gag
a paper is an outrage upon free
speech, and should be prom.ptly rc
-ented by the )eoplo,, in whose be
half the press does battle.
In New Hampshire both parties
claim a victory. In a vote of 78,000,
the plurality of the repub.iean can
didate for governor is but 100, while
the 500 votes cast for the temperance
aadidate throw the eleoti-)n into
the Legi.latre. Tt.e -ante atands
5 to 5 with no election in two dis
triots. The House is republican by
11 majority and this will give a re
publican governor. The democrat
elect a majority of the Council ol
the governor, and two out of three
Congressmen, a gain of one. As
Congress decides the national policy,
this is a gain for the anti-adminis
trationists. The democruts polled
2,000 more votes than ever before.

The School FundAArying Shame,
The S.ato Superintendent of Fdu
cation has app)ortioned out the
<ehool fund. In the d istribuition be
hias given to Fairfield only the'
beggarly aium of three thous
and nine hundredl dollars instead
of six thousand as in previous
years. It has hcrotoforc been the
custom to appolrtiona the school fund
accordhing to tie number of children
in each (Coun! y between the iages of
six and sixteen years. But the leg ii
Liture in its superlative isidom san
(it to amendi the law so as to base the
appotionm1ent iupon the school att en
drnee in each County. In conse
quence to these. counties in which
the trustees have perhaps recklessly,
established manny schools, thaereby
gaining a large attendance of pupils
at the expense of the public ored it,
h rge sums have been given, while in
*othei s in which the nutmber of schiools
was commnensurate with the funds in
hand, the school fund is a miserable
pittance. Tihe Superintendent in
making this apportionment, is acting
acceordinag to law, and is to blame
only for not protesting loudly against
the manifestly unjust legislation now
in existence upon this suhj et. Last
year, through thle efforts of the school
officials in Fairfield not to go beyond
their ineans, and through the defalca
tion in tihe treasury, the number of
children attending school was but
seventeen hundred, while in Chester
thme number was placed at three
thousard, nine hundred. This year

children clamoring for education, and
