The Democratic victory, which wau |

the thorough and complete organization
of the Democrats of South Carolina, from

out this organized effort wo would to-day

would have been to'u's nehm spectre of
th?T??i?r'?,* on-ITue woes of tho past would
have afflicted us where tho blessings of
the present are enjoyed by all of our peo
ple" The 'ilborotiou of South Carolina
from Republicanism, despite the im
mense odds; which wera opposed to us in
thp canvass, .fs,.a,magnificent tribute to
tba. efftaiescy; the patriotism, and tb?,
sagacity-displayed hy the Democra.l';
Clubs ; and a power which has douo so
much for,our political interests should
not be. allowed to become a wreck. It
should be.kept intact, and Maintain tho
controlling influence which it has estab

achievement of a single victory.doe? not
place South Carolina beyond the blight
ing reach of '.ho political despoilcra,
Jl is true that Republicanism as such (s
dead, bul Hs twin-brother yet lives in
the form of "'Iudopondobts," who are
nothing more nor less than a set of un
principled otlico-seekera, who aro all
things willi ali men, for the s&ks of
ingratiating therasolvos ihto poblio office.
ThLi element i-> worse than pure Repub

South Carolina tho misfortunes of the

tho -evils which would afflict us. This ls
the foe which affronts, tut for tho coming
campaign,' aud^it is tho duty of every
Democrat, abd of every patriot, to pre
pare to crush Much a movement in its in

maintenance of '. solid and vital Demo
cratic organization, which will keep the
good citizens of tho State? together, in
opposition to tho wreckers who would
delight in the destruction of tho property
of a whole State, it by tho mishap they
could secure some paltry office for them
selves.' These m?ii aro powerfully selfish,
and will not hesitate attempting to array
section agoiqst section, race against race,
and class against class. We must not
allow tho Statis to go into the control of

-their success is tho continuance of our
?SSwjr CTgS?ir.it'v?, ?r? oirO?j? vi nit unger

reorganize for the coming year. Wo
need .strang' and energetic men at the
head of every Club, and a determination
on tho .part of every member to make
the canvass of ,1878 a greater success
thou that of last year. Our Clubs should
meet regularly once every month or two
month? until tho canvass oppos ; and in
'tho meantime the Executive Committees

( TttB STATE PENITENTIARY.
j : ?'
j Cpl. Theadorp W. Parmele bas euh
mittcd biri report as Superintendent of
the State Penitentiary to tho Board of
Directors, and in it make?: various Bug
gestions and-explanation?, preliminary to
i fisting for increased appropriations for
heit year. , lie begins with call Ins; atten
tion to tho fact.that ho bas expended
$38,916.89 for maintenance during tho
pnst-yo??Y which leaves' a deficiency of
?11,289.14. The average number o? con
victa confined to tho. Penitentiary was
465 per day, making tho expense for each
prisoner $79.39, according to the Super
intendent's showing, which ho says could
have been reduced if money tc pay in
cash bad been furnished him. He then
showsAbai prisoners 'haste been hired out
as follows i During the whole year, 150
to. John CSeegora; sinco July 18th, ?0
to Charles MaheW; ard el nee September

'Railroad. By on average it svill be seen

.thus the cost, of maintenance, instead of
being. $79.89, ns' estimated, has been
,$129.53 per pris?her.' This is a very
great discrepancy betweoo the estimate
J qt i thal Superintendent and the actual
i facts of tho case, which he will of course
explain by saying that hb estimate ia
! based simply upon the commitments, but
there is nc substance to this calculation,
and it is calculated td deceive. Twist it
aa you may, the 'coat' of sustaining con
victa ib tho Penitentiary has been $129.53,
instead of $79.39, os the Superintendent's
report la calculated to make a'casual
reader hellnva.
Ho next expressed nfs' opposition te
ijb? platt" of hiring out'tho convict on
tho grouqd of tho frequency of escapes^
which ha says are ia tho proportion of
from 18 to 28 per cent, per annum. His
argument would be conclusivo upon this
point "if It waa. imponible to guard
against these escapes, b,ut svo hellere the
?roper; usa of chains would prevent these

xaona than by attempting manufacturing,
a^rti?omwonded hy tho Superintendent.
'" ?The S?per?nteri??nfc informa the p?ibiic
that with til? approval of tho Board of
mwmmmmmmmmmmmmu???m???ammwmmm?mm
Directors, he made an extensive tour
through the North to examino tho Pcnl
; leniior'es of that aeoVion, hut fails to in
form us ?rirtjj foots the bill for bis edu
cativa |/a neaolo^y, and tibereforo we
conclude that the expense* of that trip
ar? a part of the deficiency reported, or
is to be reported hereafter. If so, we
think he bad better bave deferred his
tour until he could obtain an appropria
tion for this object.
Speaking o'! escapes, .;j says:
In thc accompanying report you will
note the escape of 73 convicts during the
year. Of this number but 9 escaped
from the prison grounds, the balauce
from working details, as below stated :
Escaped from Seegers' plantation, 34 ;
teamsters, 2 ; boat detail, 6 ; brick yard,
3 ; wood cutter*. 1 Saluda dam, 4 ;
Greenwood and Augusta Railroad Com
pany, 13 ; State House, 1 ; pet iteutiury
enclosure, 9 ; total, 73.
Of this number, seventeen wore recap
tured, besides two who escaped during
previous years. I am not surprised at
tbe indignation of the community be
cause of such escape?, or that tt has
brought upon mc, wnelber justly ur not,
tho severe animadversions of the press
from certain quarters.
At the State Lunatic Asylum, where
tho inmates aro not likely to make con?
biuations for attack or escape, any visitor
can see well constructed walls and build
ings ; whereas at the ooniteotiary, where
a wave of the hand, or a word, may be
tho signal for revolt, wo hr-j compara
tively no saiiguard exeent a rotten
wooden fence, mounted u. intervals by
guards, the prison cells being the only
barrier at night. There should be a
"shell'! or outside building to enclose thc
celisj and a brick -?all in addition. I am
making arrangements to complete the
north fling of the prison to tue second
story, and have already quarried the storio
for it. We h&ro also about ?00,000
bricks, which can bo used for the walls
and can make during the year the addi
tional number required. The, tools, cast
ings, wrought iron, lime, cement, tin for
roofing, lumber end other material, must
be purchased if the work ls to be done.
I have now only 150 cells fit for occupa
tion, but with tho north wing completed,
os proposed, and with a roof on each
wing, I will have 360 tenantablo cells, or
room for 700 convicts.
He next makes tho following judicious
suggestion :
IQ view of the difficulty in obtaining
arrest and roturo of escaped couvicts, 1
uige that the sum of twenty-five dollars
bo allowed by the State for delivery of
each at tho Penitentiary, to include all
charges for transportation, dieting, &c.,
frovided that no person employed by the
'enitentiary, or by contractors for con
vict labor, shall have any interest in such
payments. I also think tor /all Peniten
tiary guards and employees should be
exempted from jory duty in the State
courts, for ?O???iw nu ich ara obvious.
The ideas of the Superintendent are,
however, fully developed in the following
request fur next year's appropriation :
My estimate for appropriation required
for tho next fiscal year ls as folio we :
For maintenance, $35,000 ; for construc
tion, $10,000; tor equipment of shone
and material for manufacture, $X0,000 ;
total, $55.000.
If the foPi.roing io promptly approved
by tho General Assembly, so that we cati
at onow make plana for tho work, I set
no reason why anything more than a
yearly contingent appropriation of $10,
000 should bo made for the Penitential
hereafter, to be used only with the ap
provsl cf tho Governor in case of necea
si ty.
The Board of Directors compliment thi
Superintendent and eudorse his suggea
tiona, and conclude by recommending
that tho salary of this officer bo increased
We hope M e Legislature will see fit ti
amend this by substituting a revjmmen
dation that be be removed from office
Mr. Parmelo was ono ol Chamberlain'
pets, and was appointed by bim Superin
tendent of the Penitentiary in recogni
tlon of the services rendered by. him ii
tho Chamberlain-Green campaign o
1874. These services consisted of abu
sivo articles, written by Col. Pormele t
tho Columbia Uaisn-JIeretld, about th
white peoplo of South Carolina. W
hope tbe Legislature wjll not concur i
the recommendation;} of the Superiuter
dent or Board of Directors. Our poop]
ero too p )t to be taxed to carry out tb
elaborate visions presented. Tho sala:
of tho Superintendent ought not to be ir
creased, becauso numbers of competer
mon. eau be obtained to discharge th
duties of that office on the present salar;
The management of the institution ougl
in futuro to be more economical than
has been fer post years, and to seem
this a Superintendent who is a native <
South Carolina, or at least a man who
not one of the Ropublicsa Importation

During the present session of tho Leg?

Binde to revive the South Carolin* *M
?rgc, ss J ?s c?&ci t$ aooornp??qh ibis ?*
suit, heavy appropriations will bo asked
at tlis bauds ot tho l^gbdatore. .Before
undertaking this work it would be ad
visablo for the members of the General
Assembly to count the cost and calculate
thc benefit to be derived from the execu
tion of the proposition to revive. The
first clement entering Into the problem st
this time, when the State is so greatly
hardened, ls the question of necessity.
Are our press?t educational advantages
suflicidut for tho needs of our State? and,
if not, are we in a condition to better
them? are the principal inquiries to be
answered. In reply to the first, we are
disposed to answer in the affirmative.
The Forman University, the Woflbrd
College, the Adger College, the Erskine
College, the Charleston College, and the
Newberry College,Afford ample opportu
nities for collegiate instruction of a high
order, and it is especially noticeable that
most of these institutions are gradually,
but surely, elevating thc standard of
scholarship, and will, in the course of a
few years, be all that could be desired if
they receive proper encouragement from
tho people pf our State- The establish
ment of a State University will tend to:
retard tho progress of these other institu
tion , mid will rn oh t probablj injure, in
stead of advance, tho cause of higher ed
ucation in tbe State. In the nextpiace,
wo are satisfied that the oxpense con
nected with establishing the State Uni
versity will greatly exceed tho benefits te
accruo from it. To establish . ix upon a
lower order than Harvard, Yalo or the
University of Virginia would bo a prodi
gal waste of money, when we h." vo so
many institutions already in operation,
and to mako lt the equal of the celebrated
institutions named would require a very
largo annual outlay of money, which
could bo much more advantageously em
ployed in the common schools of our
State if they ore properly managed.
The University cannot bc made asUccess
at thu time, and our Legislators will do
wall for their constituents to. let the
whole subject ge unacted upon, Until we
recover our financial equilibrium. A
State Institution is a great thing to talk
about, but unless it is established under
moro favorable circumstances than those
which oppress us at thia time, it will
surely provo a very costly piece of senti
meulalbs.. Thc UniTc-rellvvt V?rg?uia
is the only first class institution of learn
ing in tho South, which is under State
management, that enjoya any very ex
alted reputation, and yet nearly ever,
Southern State has ita "University." It
ours is revived wo cannot hope to rise
higher than a respectable mediocrity, for
thoro %re too many competing Colleges
for the aire of our State, and hence in
view of these facts we should shun so un
profitable outlay of public money.
The re-establishment of the whipping
post for certain crimes in this State has
been very generally discussed In tho press
of South Carolina, and the opinions are
1 somewhat different over the State- It ?
a subject of great importance to the. peo
ple of South Carolina, and commends it
Belf to tho consideration of our Legisla
ture at thiq session. 'Ibero is no doubt
that there ls throughout the State a chun
of petty thieves' end offenders who hav<
no pride, no character and no dread ol
imprisonment, so long as the thought oi
it ls associated with idlonesa and enougl
] to eat. Tho present system of punish
' ment is an incentive rather than a detered
to crime. Eveiy one who. ls familia
with tho inferior courts of our State hoi
I doubtless observed thia, and in some in
i stances these petty thieves have ope^lj
I acknowledged that they did not mind rest
j lng in jail for, ono month.. This condi
tion of things is injurious to the peed
and order of society and dos* not dote
from crime; bat by allowing it to go prac
t?cally unplumbed as to the beginnings
tends to train up hardened criminals bj
tho failure to punish little ones. Tbl
should be provided against/and, as th
most efficient mode of prevention we ar
inclined te favor decidedly the re-estab
lishment of the Whipping post for al
petit larcenies and breaches of trust un
der $20.00. If this should be done, au?
the law so amended sa to authorial th
officer sentencing to ImpriaOumcuL ii
County jails, to direct the working of th
criminal upon tho streets with ball an
chain, tho amount of. petty crime Woul
bo wonderfully decreased. The objector
that whipping is barb irous has no fore
in it when properly dewed,,.for such 1
not tho fact of thc .c% ? .it is not i nj u
rlous to tho health of the criminal, but]
simply the application of a punt&hmer
to'tho feelings of a man Who ls nota]
to be reached through tho means' of rt
flection, and another reason tn answer <
this objection ls that no one is eompolle
to bo whipped. If a man obeys the lav
of society , lt does not Interfere, with bin
and if a criminal chooses to lay hi msc
liable to a flogging ho cou only bloc
himself for getting it. The rights of pe
plo who obey law deserve protcctlc
rather thoa those who ilk they, and pul
isbments should be inflicted with a Vie
tn thia, dlstinetie?i We need sss
harsher punishment than mero imprlso
mont, end we believe that the right,
sentence jail birds to work on the stree!
and the application of the lash to pet
thieves, will do. a great deal; to reste
honesty and cheek stealing, together wi
Other small crimes.

The Columbia Register correct? ua in
refer*ase to the position assumed by us
relative to the sentences of the State offi
cials, and cites the fact that Carpenter
and Cardozo could not be sent to th-'
Penitentiary, became the Supreme Court
has decided in thu cane of tho State vt.
Eord that "a Judge cannot sentence a
party to hard labor in the Penitentiary
uoleaa such punishment is authorized by
some statute of the State." Our contem
porary then cites us to the fact that Car
penter's offense was forgery, which by
the statute is punishable by imprison
ment for not less thau one nor moro than
seven year?, together with such fine as
may be deemed expedient, and under the
decision above quoted he could not bc
scot to tho Penitentiary. Upon examin
ing the subject we are satisfied that the
prisoner could not be sent to the Peni
tentiary on a charge of forgery, although
we havo known instances in which it hat
leen done, and from the precedent wt
supposed it to be in accordance with thc
statute, and think that the law should bc
BO amended -as to allow imprisonment ic
the State Penitentiary for such cases ai
may arise in the future, though there
should bxs a caving clause in the fvct tx
retain the prcscut punishment for al
auch offences ns hare been committed U|
to the present time. In the Cardozo casi
our contemporary cites tho fact that hi
was only indicted for conspiracy, am
could- nut be sent to the Penitentiary
under the case referred to above. Ii
thia ho Ut also correct, but at the time o
writing our article we supposed Cardoa
was also charged with breach of trual
which is punishable by sentence to tb
Penitentiary. Tho general statutes pro
vide in chap. 129, sec. ll, page 653, tba
"any person committing a breach of tr us
with fraudulent intention shall be hoi
guilty of larceny;" and if Cardozo ho
been properly charged there would hav
been no difficulty in sending him to th
Penitentiary. We do not underatan
why ho should have been lot off on
lighter charge. If a man ia guilty (
murder, it would be manifestly improp<
to only convict him of assault and ba
tc ry ; and so it seems to us unfortunal
that Cardozo should escapo upon a coi
victioa of conspiracy, where he could i
easily have been convicted ot a breac
of trust. The fact that other warran
ore hanging over the ex-Treaaun
amounts to nothing, inasmuch as thc
aro not expected to over be tried, at
wheu bis present sentence expires 1
will bo allowed to depart in peac
unless he manages to get off soonc
which is not improbable. Tho explan
tion of the Register, however, exhon
rates Judge Townsend from any respo
sibility in the failure of Carpenter ai
| Cardozo to receive their just dues in tl
Penitentiary. The law is at fault in tl
I instance of Carpenter, and the indi?
ment ia that of Cardozo.

The Senatorial struggle is over, and j 1

upon thc l?a??salon of Oen. M. C. Baller,
as Senate? from this State, wa* reached,
and resulted in hm adni?saioo by ono ma
jority. PaUerson and Connover voted
with tho Dem?crata, and Judge Davis
did not vote either way. Gen. Butler
was then sworn In as Senator from South
Carolina for the next six years. Tho
Republicans made the most desperate
efforts to prevent bim from obtaining the
seat to whioh he bad been clearly elected,
but bis caso was too strong, and was
managed too skilfully for them. Every
thing that political hate and mp.lignanty
could bring to bear was opposed to b>ui,
but his cool conduct, sheiling ability and
just cause was too much even tor Radical
rascality to overcome, and ho triumphed
over them, and through him tho people
of South Car .lina, havo triumphed over
tho slanders and vituperations which
have been heaped upon us unanswered
for so many years. Hereafter the mah
who dares defamo our people in the Sen

On Monday last ,the caira session of
Congress was adjourned'by limitation, as
thc first Monday tn December is the
constitutione? time for the regular meet'
ing. Immediately after adjournment,
tho regular session was opened, and the
usual routine of opening gone through.
The session just closed bas been a long
and tedious ono, with very meagre re
sults. Most of the timo has been spent
in passing the army appropriation bill,
and the discusaica of political questions
such as membership, prudential appoint
ments, ceo. Tho House bas done some
valuable general legislation-as in the
passage of the Silver Bill, the repeal of
the Resumption Law, and other mattera ;
but the Senate bas been too intent upon
maintaining a Republican majority to
bestow any consideration upon subjects
of general legislation. Ita action has
been partisan in the extreme. The re
tention of Patterson, and the seating of
Kellogg, will mark it in' history as the
first Senate that evor lowered ita honor,
by retaining as a member a man who
obtained bis election by notorious bribe
ry, and by seating a man who was never
??wlc? by a legal Legislature. Wo nope
one more session after the present ?will
closo tho - Republican dynasty in the
Senato forever.
SWAtLS RESIGNS.
S. A. Swailfl, colored Senator from
Williamsburg, bas yielded to the inevi
table and resigned as Senator from that
County, and of course as President pro
tem. of the Senate. Of course this action
was taken for his country's .good, and
therefore, the historian will be compelled
to write that he has dono one patriotic
deed, even if it was' caused by tho fear of
the law. Ho resigned In person, and on
leaving the Senate bade its members tho
following farewell ?
SENATOES-In 'tendering my resigna
tion, there are many' things thal I should
Erobabiy say. and many more tims may \
0 left .unsaid ; but I feel it my duty,' hs
it is my inclination, to say before leaving
a few words to those with Whom I have
been' associated for several years. Every
Senator knows tho ' great wort and great
fight going on within'the State borders,
and I .elate very frankly that I am un
equal to the task: that man made by
God ia unequal to the fight. I have boen
a member of this body for th e las t nine
?ears, nod as the lost of those who have
eeh members of the Senate since recon
struction, I know of ,nothing in my ac
tions and duties os a Senator to which I
can look back as done against the inter
ests of the State or of my people. But
tho severe pressure of friends, of family,
of those we esteem ?oro than self, will
sometimes forcea man todo things' against
self will. I am about to leave this Sen
ate, but in doing sc I leave it with tho
kindest feelings to every Senator. For
the lott six years I havo honorably, .and,
to the best of my ability, filled the posi
tion of President mo. tem. It is a posi
tion of peculiar and delicate responsibil
ities ; but if st any'time during my ad
ministration any Senator hos felt gnoved
at my rulings, I trust he will forget it,
aud aitributo it, If an error, to tho head,
aud not to the heart. Senators, I thank

AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON.
From Our Itcjjular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1, 1877.
At the openipg of the extra session of
Congress the Republicans hod a majority
of five in the Senate. Morton*?-death
and Voorhces' appointment'reduced it to
three, including Sharon, the "Bonang
King." The exciiomsnt during the last
few days has been Intense, and the possi
ble loss of a working majority, has given
serious alarm to the Republicans. Every
inch of ground will bo sharply contested,
and the struggle will bea bitter one. Lt
this writing tho Senato hos been in con
tinuous session for brer twenty-seven
hours, end there ia little chance of ad
journment for as many more. Patterson
and Conover are not reposing on a bed
of roses. The former is resting under
very grave chargea of having secured bis
sent by bribery, while the lotter hos
doubtless been allured by promises of
political proferment. .'It ia apparent that
some understanding has been had, and it
is said that the vote whioh Stanley Mat
thews Cast With tb A n?mn?i?<. .'?A
vent an investigation of the alleged alli?
ance, is a full confirmation pf lt* exist
ence. Whether this struggle sholl shift
the political supremacy OD to Democratic
shoulders or not, make tittie difference,
as lt is certain to bo accomplished in tho
near futuro. Such changes seem Incident
to every popular government. The po
litical pendulum vibrates to and fro, and
ii is bardiy' possible for any party to
maiotrrj the ascendancy for an indefi
nite period.
