This may secure the conviction of punishment of persons, who otherwise would escape for the reason that the penalty is so severe. Any law effecting a curtailment of the crime of lynching should he acceptable. Sheriff Nance, of Abbeville, attempted to levy on two trains belonging to the Port Royal and Western Carolina Railway Company last Saturday, lie stopped the trains for several hours, hut under orders from Suprintcndent of road, the trains moved on to destination. The road is in the hands of a Receiver appointed by the United States District Court, and petition of Roceiver Judge Shiioiiton has granted an order of itiiunetion restraining! J O the Slier ill from further procedure until the merits of the case can be determined. The case willjjbe argued January, dOtli, The Kansas legislature has been in the Same predicament that that of South Caroli.na was in 187ft. The House had two speakers, two clerks and other olllcers, and each faction had its adherents occupying the same hall .uul both trying to transact business. IMie factional light was between Populists and Republicans, the 1 )emocrats (juietly looking on. The Governor and a majority of the Senate belong to the Populists, and they have recognized the Populist organization of the House, and there is now some prospect of a compromise being arranged. The agree | ment between Populist .and Demo-1 crats entered into during the late j campaign, lias been annulled. The indications now point to the; early arrangement of the public debt, j The officers in charge of the refundment are very reticent, but it is generally believed that a syndicate lias been formed for placing the new 41 per cent bonds, and that the deal will bo soon consummated. This will be a saving to the people of 11 per cent interest on the State debt which amounts to about $100,000 per annum, unless the legislature adopts (iov. Tillman's idea of maintaining the present vote of taxation and setting aside annually the surplus as a sinking fund to retire or redeem bonds. We think the idea a good one, as this plan will prevent a recurrence of the present difficulty. The laying aside annually of *75, 000or *100,000 in forty years will realize three or four million dollars, sufficient to discharge half the indebtedness of the State, and the people would not know the difference in 1 the rate of taxation. Something : like this must he done or how will the people meet their obligations at maturity? On tins plan careful and t judicious financiring will unable the t ^tuto to moot all Iter obligations at e maturity without trouble. 1 0 c 1 lie Governor and State Treasurer t who are authorized by the recent ^ Act to provide for refunding the j Statodebt ltavo concluded a contract \ with a Baltimore Sayndicato to ttike t the new ij per cent:? at par. The a peculiarity o? the agreement is that t interest is paid on both the old bonds v at d per cent for six months and on i tbo new at 21 per cent for the same \ time. The in tores* t 011 the {State < debt for tlm first six months of i 1803 will ntionnt to over fioO.O(W). j The old bonds aire <piotvd on the i market i\t i)7, now suppose tins i sy udioa'e bu \ s i hem at that figure 1 Unmakes per cm nt, jthen receives t ') per cent interest on them and then | 21 per cent on new bonds, which i together amount to Hi per cent for | six months- The Supreme Court j sustains the validity of the contract t to pay this extra interest, the court,!; being divided two for, and one chief i Justice Me] ver dissenting. v We make n > adverse comment on f the transaction, knowing nothing of t the difficulties fo be surmounted and ( om'uii'.issmmu f> Las overcome, i we simply take him at bis adherents s ! estimate and say lie has done the 1 best lie COIlld under tin- eireumsttin- t cos. Wo arc glad to know t he debt 1 wiW be refunded at a lower rate of f interest, even, if it does cost the c people about fclOO,()()(> to effect the t refundment. ' s ? ~ . i >1 urrin^o of Mr. \V. A.

The fair bride was tho center of attraction, and was pretty enough indeed, to have won the veriest niisogauust; but "we boys could not re ' frain from noticing the four heauti 1 ful bridesmaids, beautifuly dressed, nor could we girls keep from seeing the four handsome bridemen, hand " somely dressed.'' Who will he the next couple? < J. L. P. ? i The lOvanst Dispensary Act. v IOditoi: iloituy iikuai.d: v As tho Dispensary liquor law pas- ji sed hy the last Legislature of South t Carolina is the chief topic of conver- o sation, speculation and criticism; t and as it practically makes every v citi/.en an interested partner in tho I in. nr.- > 1 ...Ji.wi uuniiuM, HC WUUHI appreciate I |1 a little space in your paper to express Id our views on the said new State in* s sti1111ion. We have read your edi- g< torial of the 12, lust, with a good L deal of interest, the lirst paragraph 1 r of wliieh wo .heartily endorse. Of p course, if the courts declare the act constitutional (which 1 have no idea f-j they will) it will he the duty of the: Governor to see that it is enforced, and we would regard him as recreant to his trust if ho did not do so. s Von say. noholy seems specially [0 concerned about the operations of q the law, except the bar keepers. We w think, judging from the prohibition v, vote of the State, that you are some- p what mistaken. While the bar keep- |, ors are interested in the traffic and 0 are determined to sell intoxicants, ,, the rrohihiiionists are interested in ? prohibiting the trallic, and have n made their demands on the Legis- p lature. The Dispensary act is tho J n result. 8 The first question that presents j| itself to our mind is; Is it morally ;l right to sell alcoholic liquors? Wo IT answer, No, and when you say uthe i ^ bar keepers were willing to sacrifice) j, women and children upon the altar 0 of the Moloch of strong drink so j, long as they could make money hy the transaction," we concur with you ? exactly, and wo say they have no 0 moral right to increase our Court expenses, lill our poor houses, jails, j, penitentiaries, Lunatic Asylums and js untimely graves with the victims of f, their disreputable avocation, simply j, because they make money by the w transaction. I f( The second question is: If the ? use of 1 i<111or as a bever.oro r< >?nlia in . I o ~ ,VWM,,V 1" I the above mentioned consequence*, | (j has the State the moral right to | |f make tlm dis-eputable demoralizing i m destructive avocation of selling c< 11 liquor a State Institution to be cul- ^ tured and fostered by tho strong 11: arm of the State, thus making every al citizen, not only an accessory, but p actually .a pirtnor in a business I at, which has been repudiated by a large per cent of our people?. Hilt we are old thut a str >rg incentive t<> pass i ho act was that it would yield a 1 0 lor.ihl" revenue t?? the State. ' ,Vu til.nk tho minecesvrv officers treated hv the act will absorb the | 'cvi'itiif. Hut suppose the State loes receive a revenue does that i ustify I cm in perpetrating a moral 1 vrong upon Iter people? Will not he liquor manufactured m the Stat?? n<l sold hv the State when used bv he people a-> a beverage he attended i rith the sa ne evil consequences as J 1 sold by tho present bar-keepers^ A lien theAet requires the State j 'ounnissiouer to give manufacturers n tiie State the preference in liis Mirehases does not that foster the iianufactiire of liquor? Will thero km bo more made in the State than efore? We conclude then that if ho liquor tHit is a moral wrpliff 1 I e <lovcrimient or Administration >r<?stituto8 its functions when it ?p ropriates the peoples money for the )erpetualion of that wrong. Hut if lie revenue received justifies the State, then why miiv she not enter nto ot her immoral enterprises that you Id yield revenue?prv.e lighting or instance, horse racing, gambling, oeU lighting, each enterprise to lie 10*11rolled by a commission and the 1 iroceeds to go into the State Trea>ury. All these immoral practices, lighway robbery included, have not )een productive of as much evil as iquor. nevertheless, the act provides or a Dispensary in each county not ixempt by special act, and appropriates $50,000 out of the State Trea- i airy to put this new State enterprise) n operation. They call it prohihi-J ion and reform, and yet it does not j veil restrict the manufacture sale; ir consu mpt ion < f litpior except the ( mrchaser i< unable to buy less than i mo half |>:l t.

A question proposed by one of the j,j ilvi-I* f !l ml I i/?a w if/iinre !?.. ??.... 1-. I <u ftw,|a?S I UIIIMI9 I , f the j>res3 without an answer.jc die writer asks, "What currency . 'ill he used by the common people , hen silver is banished from circula- j; nion, as it will he if (heboid barons \ avo their way?" This reminds us ( v f the reply of the Quaker to a i | .eighbor who addressed him with L, O ; (J he \yords, "Vou haven't seen thou <j lean," replied the Friend, "by lirst t idling me a falsehood, then asking J v ie a question? ' lie had soett tho j heep and was prepared to toll where i . Iiey could be found. The utter 1 r nee of the free coinage advocate i , 1 lay bo separated m the same way. I) Ve suppose by the "gold barons' ' c means to describe those who tire pposed to the attempt to legislate \ lto existence that impossible con ,t ition of things a double standard I ' letal currency to be maintained as f equal valve. r No one of this class of whom we v avo any knoledge proposes to ban- c ill silver frotn circulation. All the riends of a sound currency desire to avo silver retained in use, and some I j ould favor an increased demand t ir it bv forhi Jdimr f I 1A iflQitn nf 1 S J .WO??V XJM. j apcr, either bv the banks or tlio 11 v ' c nitcd States Treasury, beiow live' { ollars for a single note. We doubt ) this will ever be done, as the one 8 nd two dollar notes are far more o mvonient for business purposes c )un the huge dollar coin intended c > take their place, and there is no H ttle economy in saving the lo^s by it irasion. The replacing of the a iper when it is worn does not cost K 5 much as the wear of the largo n iocos of silver when in constant si >o. The only just criticism on the ui sue of paper is that which objects ol in the continuance in circulation of notes (hat are torn ami soiled ami nnfiit for decent use. In this country silver \vi I be the common metal currency most in use by all classes of the people. ''Common folks" have no more claim upon it thin the uncommon classes, if any such there arc in this land of ''liber ty and equality." Dainty fingers sparkling wiih jeweled rings handle I lie same while pieces that be in the palms of "the horny-handed," and are received and paid out by the humblest laborer. And no action of Congress is asked for to diminish the volume of silver in circulation. If small notes were prohibited a little more would be used, but not to the extent proposed, as large majority of those who now till their pocket hooks with this convenient paper currency would simply resort to their cheek book iu>tead of the use of cish, if the latter meant the carrying of burdensome metal. There is veiy little gold in cirou lation. The representations s?> often made that wealthy persons carry gold in their purses, while the working classes, including the common laborer, handle the silver, and the oft repeated suggestions that the former are 'tying in sonio mysterious way to shut out the latter from the use of their favorite currency, to the great disadvantage of tho poor and the needy who have no acquaint unco with the more costly metal, are entirely false both in letter and spirit. All classes need the silver as subsidiary coin, the one as much as the other, and all have nil equal interst in preserving the intercom vertibility of the two metals in the homo market. Gold as tho standard of value and silver for domestic service among the people, and both and silver for shipment at the market value of the two metals, when there is a balance to pay abroad, is the true theory of political economy. And no legislation in any one country or compact of all civilized countries can change this law written in the constitution of things. The onr) ly diflhmlty lies in attempt, in sending both g iid and silver to foreign sountrics, 01 in their use at home, to fix a given ration which shall he their relative market value as a legal tender. Stamp a given quality of silver Mill call it one dollar, and ntamp a jiven quality of gold and call it an (lion inclal I lioi (mi "F . ...... inuigv l li(kv LV 11 '/I ;,he former shall always bo equal to joe of tlio latter, both hero and ibroad, is the double standard the jry. This is all bused on the common but utterly fallacious notion hat the stamp gives to the several mins their true market value. The mth is that the stamp does not add o the value of the metal in the coin. A bank note calls for ten dollars. The printing does not increase the faluo of the paper itself; its value ies in the public faith that the holler can get ten dollars in rp?l money "or it. If that promise was worthess the stamp would lessen the ruluc of the paper, rs a clean sheet you Id he worth more than one which has been printed. An irrelecmable paper currency would not n ing the price of t he rags of which he notes wete made, This is true of coined money, riio mint stamp is a convenient in using the metal in common circulaion as it certifies to each of the mrties handing it how much of the ^old or silver there is in the piece ht'ered. But when it goes abroad he receivers prefer to have the met. d in a himb without the impress of ho mint, and the shipper is credited >nly for so much gold or silver as inn be found in the mass which is tent, whether it is in the form of :oin or bullion. If silver is worth n market onlv RIU puma J ?" * v" xvllinilllllg 571' grains of this metal, call each mo a dollar, and try to induco a sreditor in London, or Paris, (r ierlio, or any other foreign market o accept ten of them in place of 132.2 grains of gold. The latter is vorth to him $2 IS a pound troy, vhilo silver is worth only *10 a >ound. TI.e ten silver dollas would hdreforo l?e worth to him at the xisting market price only about six lollars and a half, and no stamp on hem would add a penny to their nlno for any use ho could make of hem, The claim so frequency made, hat a larger volume of currency is equired for use in this country has )o substantial foundation. Kvery 'ear as the sum of business increases lie proportion of currency required o handle it becomes less through ncreasod facilities afforded by >auks and other financial mstituions. Wo have several times alu* udod to this fact, but it is coutin lully ignored by those who ?rite on his theme for the daily papers. There is not currency enough in the vhole world to transact tho business if this city if only cash was used ns he instrument.
