FAIRFIELD HERALD 4A,' JNO. S. IE1iOLDS, Editor, Wedlncsduy Morning, January It, 1876 The Only Hope. The only hope for the honesi people of South Carolina lies in thi carly and thorough organization of he democratic party. Whatevei course of action may bo boroafto comed most expedient, the first nd great need now is a union of he democracy into a compact, ficien t and well disciplined body. n such a shape, the propor action or the party can be most easily do ormined upon and most easily put 11 to execution. This organization nnot begin too soon. Lot us be 1) au i.l doing. Wo havo no time to e. .A High Compliment. Gov. Chamberlain has received any encomiums for his course over lice his inauguration, but in our aIgmnlit, the highest, most flatter g of all is that bestowed upon him the State Central Committee of o democratic party, in their ad -ess to the peo)10.. Representing they collittoe do, a party natlr y supposed to be inimical to all o mol and monurcs of the relul) an party, the compliment lthus pressed is creditable, not alone the governor, but to the candor d impartiality of the democrats St)ilh Carolina. Gov. Chamber 1 has reason for pride and self nlgratulation at winning such an nor from iuch a source. The Fenco Law. 'ho has been much discussion ur state for sovoral years past nt the subject of fences. The toction of largo tracts of land, cli of which lies fallow, is a con 11, expenso and i constant an aiceo. The number of people aged in cattle raising to the llsiol of other farm pursuits, l)st insignifleant, and yet the holder i1+ required to guard his wing crops aginst his neigh s' cattle. The main object of slatioll uldelr t republican sys of governineit is, or should bo, reatest good to the greatest bor.

The Rbeal IEifect. lhoE'' X (ri d Cournier conitai 1 of thme goverror's actioni sing to sign tho conunlfissions < 'ppe and' Ho11 'ses. It has-5 hc ighit by maniiy that his count ld han : the effcect only of (da; t'mo seal ing of theso insolei aspirants till the questio of th judges' tenure of office shall b decided by the supreme court. I the article in question, however, i is held--id the toasors 'for "th upinion are strongly put-that th supriemo court can'h4t compel th governor by.manddfl ua to sign th comnishions. This 1s se"jnimgly y oxtraordinary proposition ,but th ground taken by tie ew4 an( Couder ita they exegntiyJe an< the jif<icia departfient 'bing co ordinate, the one cannot intorfer in-any. way with -the other... The only remedy would therefore soon Ito be the impeachment 1 ; ; thi governor for official misconduct It would certainly be at varianc< with the funilamental principles of our political system to invest onC department with controlling powei over the other. The signing of the commissions in the present case is assuredly a matter purely within the discretion of the governor. The ground taken by hint is that the torns of Judges Roed and Shaw rospoctivoly having not yet expired;' there is no vacancy in their circuits, end hence the present legislature had not the right 'to eleat successors. Thore might arise circuistances .in which the governor would be forced to re fm:"., by causes other than thore which present themselves in Mhe case of Whipper and Moses. Sop. poso for instance that there were two distinct bodies of men, each claiming to be the duly elected legislaturo--as was actually the case in Arkansas some months ago. Each body might elect a judge or a number of judges. In the absence of a judicial determination of the logality of either body, it would clearly be the duty of the governor to withhold his official approval until a final settlement of the ques tion. Nor does it appear to us that the supremo court could compel him by "'andamus to act otherwise-at least till the constitu tional question be finally settled. If we recognize the co-ordination of the several branches of the state gov'ernment, we must adhnit that there can be no interference of the one in the acts of the other. In view of the important results likely to flow from the governor's action, and of the evil likely to be averted, he is all the more entitled to con menidation. There have been somec vague hints al)out impeaching him whenl the legislatuo re-assemlbles, but we have no idea that such a thing will bo don e. The attempt would end in failure, fpr it woull hn impo~)ssilo to induco two-thirids of tihe mi~hebes to vote for convie tion. Tim ('oniiditutional require mnit, is to thirds of the mnembolrs e 'ected. Tihe Work Begun. In anlothuer portioni of this paper wvill be found the address of the Stat' Cenitr'al Executive Committee of Llbo demnocratic party, which met it Columbmia oni the 6th ins~t. The 'onlfer'ence was full, freo and har~i noiouls, ando thie aidhlros now sent o'thi to the P00ople is the fruit of'1 ,bo CommnitteCO' deliber'ations.

Angh apprecia L) the doime' ! "tosnw:rsne wihthe icratmo party of South 1j11uiflhnn. Comment or explanation is therefore unnecesseary. It is now for' the people of onri Stato to dtctrmine whether the work thus nmarked out by the om mitteo shall be promnptly and re lutely enteredi upon. It is now for them to them to show by their actions whetherl their duly appoint ed represen~ftativesCt in the CJommtittee havne expr'sed tihe real v'iews of the deoIIcratic party. It is no0w for them to show to what extent they appreciate the ev'ils which wc aa'ready suffer .and1 those we still appr'ehend, and to wvhat extent thmey have faith in the demiocratie or'gail zation as a means oif relief. Th< Conmmittee have statod in most tun mistakable terms the state of thingi wiich has led to their meeting and the terrible disastcrs we muns expect unless we Boon hlave a dec~id -ed change for the better. Nor havy they in onmo jot or tittlo overstatei the magnitude and the serious nn~ turo of thlo issues now presente< for the p~eoplo's determination. I 0needs but a superficial observatio: to present to every reasonlal mind the evils of our presert 00ond tion and the still greater evils tha threaten us. The people of Fai: field have suffered in common wit s their followcitizenu all over thm e state, and they need not to be tol ni of what they have undergone. Sue >f; being the circumstances und< ni which the Committee have felt 1e thleir duty to~address their consti -uents, we can by no means be 5su lt nri' ed at the earnestness wil e which they have spoken. Bii o what extent will their words .o a caution and counsel be heeded t To what extent will thoe to whon 6 Wei apqppgggggg o them their assent b word ani o deed ?

When. that shall bo. corp ploted, then will there bo aipd tue for the party to settle and declare its policy in the usual mn n nor. But the 'organization should begin at oned, and be porfected as Soon as possible. The organization of the people of Fairtiold county has hen ci]. trusted by the Committe0 to mo1(st cxrellont hands. Gen. John -la ton is too well kinwn to requii e any compliment at our hands. It is euough to say tfhat ho has the con. tidcnce of the people alike in his integrity, rnd in his capaity. By a combination of theso ho will sure ly do the county good service and himself great crodit in tho sphere of duty to which lie has just been as signed. A Good Soleotl )n. Gov. Chamberlain has appointed Col. A. C. Haskell, Col. Jaino.i P. Low cid T. S. Cavender, Esq., o)misijohners under the act of tUe legislaturo, known as the "big bonanza." Col. Haskell is well known all over the state as a' gen iloman of fine talent. and the strict ost integrity. Col. Low is a North ern man, and bears a very high character both for honesty and capacity. Mr. Cavender is an ex cllont business man and his rapu tation for uprightness is said to be quite good. Altogether, tho gov ernor seems to have made a most excellent choice, and we fool as. curod that no claims will pass the board without first undergoing a most rigid scrutiny. It will he romembered that the legiulature, at its lts;t session. passed a bill similar to that uuder which the present comuissionei i are appointed. Among other ob jectioniable features, the bil11 named the coinunissionrg-threco individln als, at least two of whomit had not. won the public cofidlenc. 'The governor vetoca that bill, and the legislature passed the present one, wvhichm is free from flm, tl-.,.i.. proviiones. Thes commifission'ocra will commence their w~or k at one.

AMi th13 e'mes LAthe calendar, fromi thio inos insiginificanut petit laurcny cognliza blo0 in a trial justine's court, to the' most outrageous burglary, arson ur murder, are committed with a lre quency that is at once significant and alarmuing-signiicaint in t:,0t it shows the provakLnt demoraliza tien, and alarming bosause of its direful ('1 csequences aind d:mnger 01us tendemncs. When we seek for causes for this state of thtings, weo are not. long in reaching them. TfheL financial troulesO of thce people have doub'tles~s had nouch to do ill drv ing men to deeds of violence and rapine-espec'ially when the resu t of such dleeds is to relieve pressing wants. Pecuniary losses and p)0 cuniary emnbarrassmenits are always moure or less calculated to blunt the moll~ sense4 andl iniduco to crimol, and thisispeay cswhr the suiftoring party is ignorant. 'The victim in such cascs is alnost. invariably a man of real or of sup posed weoalth, and the robr, or murderer with a viow to rob, easos - his conscione(o, if lie has oneC, by, the thought that the sunf'orer can easily 1 hear tho loss. Tfhis reasoning, wo think, applies to individual in I stances, but there are a large num t iber of crimes for wvhich we can in~ I] no such incentives, and which are o attributable solely to the general -demoralization necessarily incident ,t to the varied conditions throngi which our p)00p)1 have been1 ca1led hi to pass during the past ten years a The remedy for this state of thing d is necessarily slow. It lies in on h gradual Improvement of our ma ir torial condition and in the bringinj it about of a higher tone of mnoralit; t among that class of people fron r- among which most criminals nov come. But this is a slofr procesi > and we must find a speedier remedy f for the trouble.

Another most prolilie s-->.-co of (crimo has been tlo abollinale aluso of the parde'3ning power- It ir, need los,> here to recur to the career of cott ant Moses in this pa.rticuilar. It is enough,to ray that by far the greater propol tio n of convicted criminals from 1Sd to, 1874 wore pai-doned, sit'er up.m r;enene or long before thei'r tormn of im;.ison mont had oxpihel. Of couro this had its direful efiect upon the very elass of people in which tho 'great mijority' of eiiminals are now found. Those two causes, we are glad to say, are constant.ly becoining less and less powerful. The judges throughout the- stato 'are more at tentive than formerly to the business of tieir respective courts and more adequately sveore in the penalties inflicted, while Gov. Chfuuberlain haus shown a colluend1able (harines in his use of the parloning power. Most persons proporl y (-o,. '.ito 1 arc :ikely to servo out, their allotted time in the penitentiary. A third source of the increaso of crime i3 undoutelly the lack of so varity in the punlmlilon1t inflicted by the law, as it now stands, for certain (;rimes--arson, burglary and rape. When these were punishable with death, the certainty of that dreadful ponnlty was sullicient to 1 doter any but the most confirmed 1 desperado from the comnmi:sion of them. The oppol-ition to capital p-nisiim'nt is but the fruit of a * sickly soultimentality, and a mistaken c view of a 1)ivino injunction.

Its days are numberod. It is said that Judge Willard openly expressed his opinion that the election of Judges Reed and Shaw was for four years. As Chii Justice Moscs is intereste-l in the result of the suit he annnot sit upon it, and it is hardly probable that Gov. Chamberlain will appoint judge favorable to the claims of Whipper and Moses.
