Ii 1 the appointment of men to various olficeN however, if it in to be left to the peopb at all, to say the Inaat of it, when thi * wishes ol the people are utterly ignored 0 they have a right to know why the^ were so treated. In our issue of January 4th, wo ro spoctfully called upon our Represents tivos to place the responsibility of Uu various changes, made without cnuse, ii our Trial Justices. Wo have heard no a word from any of them, and as "silenoi - gives consent," we suppose thoy ar w willing to shouldor the responsibility fo this high-handed moasuro. We supposi their own swoet will ha? beer consulted t and the wishes of the people, as ex f pressed in their petitions, regarded a mere froth. We would like to remind our delcga 1 tion that their constituents havo rights 1 and they are not to be disregarded ii any such manner, without rendering ai AWUUUIU VVS IIICIIJ. 1 Wo havo no objection to the ineu wh< 3 have been appointed to these variou: offices, but we do object to the uianne of their appointment. Our llepresenta r tives were elected upon the very prinei r pie which they have ruthlessly trample* under their feet in some of their ap pointments. The only wonder to us in j that the wishes of the people were no disregarded in the appointment of Count; .Auditor and other officers voted for a the recent primaries. If they regards* 1 themselves as entirely repponsible fo 3 thp'various appointments to be made j regardless, of the wishes of th? people why is it that these were appointed Probably their political persuasion ha< 5 something to do with it.

Johnson Hngood, publishoc t recently in the Heivs and Courier IGen. Hngood holds that there are thre { great leaks in State and county govern inent which should be stopped. Thcs j are the Penitentiary, the Lunatic Asylum and the vast amount spent on the road and bridges of the various counties. " In looking about for the remedies fo these so-called evils, it strikes us in th ^ first place that the State Ponitentiar ought not to be an expense, but on th a other hand, a source of revenue to th* t State, and for two or three years it ha ^ been. We know there is a groat deal o gush,and talk concerning the hiring ou of convicts to build railraods, &c. It ii q a pathetic thome, from which readi ^ writer^ can draw pathetic pictures. Thei appeals to common humanity, and thei ^ pictures of brutal treatment, oasil] ^ arouse the sympathies of a large class and a perfect wail goes up for them. I must be remembered, however, that i r convict's life is not expected to be passet upon a bod of roses, and that they hav< e offended "against the peacc and dignity n of the State* aforesaid," jeopardised lift and endangered property, and for whicl g they must be punished. A great deal o the sentiment concerning them is al bosh, and not deserving of the listening i. ears of the massos. With regard to the Lunatic Asylum . we confess we see no easy way o r stopping this leak. To this unfortunat< f class of citizens the State is morallj 1 bound to afford what comfort and relic is within her powor. It strikes us tha it is a hardship to require the individual! i of this unfortunate class, who have i e goodly share of this world's good, to pa} . for-habitation in the Asvlum. Thov nm ? ...~J r..J c their proportionate share of the taxoi _ and reap no benefit at all. They shoult ^ only pay for extra attention and luxurioi x afforded them. With regard, now, to the amount o money spent on our roads and bridgoa ^ There is no doubt but that the varioui counties havo to keep th?ir roads am e bridges at least pnsHablc. We thinV u this is the great mistake that is mado a Our County Commissioners spend a: little^ at a tirno as possible, and consequently are constantly at work upon th< e aamc road or bridge. Tho subject, how o ever, is one of vast Importance, and i n Governor Hagood's views will onli e stir up our County Commissioners in lh< y various counties it may result in mud good. OUH UAJIillOAl). r The proHpools for the early complor tion of the Chester, Greenwood and > Abbovillo railroad, or the Oeorgia, Cart olina and Not them railroad, as it in now i called, are most encouraging. The new . charter was unanimously accepted at a i mooting at Greenwood, and new officers i, were elected. 3 We now have at the head of this ore ganization n man of noted railroad oapa, j bililie*?Gon. Ilokc?and he is backed f , by one of the richest railroad .synuicatos i" the country. This syndicate ia anx tons for this Southern connection, and . will use all endeavors to obtain it as i? scon as possible. ix Our own people hare shown their t faith in the road by their works. Nearly e all along tho line have subscriptions 0 been voted, with little or no trouble, r This unanimity of tho people has given e the road an impetus which it never , would have received had there been the opposition to it there was to the Carolina, s Cumberland Gap and Chicago railway. It only shows what can be done when . the people are in earnest, and what i, might have been done for the Cumbor1 land Gap road, had tho t?amo unanimity i possessed our people. In retiring from the presidency of the j Chester, Greenwood and Abbeville railp road, Maj. Mills carries with him the r well-earned plaudits of a faithful ser . rant. Ho has done much to create iu. terest in - the enterprise, and has boon } unusually successful jn his undertaking. . Through his efforts and those of his diii rectors, most persons have given the t road the right of way through their land. y One or two, we believe, are holding t back, but when they sec the road is to i be a success, and realize the advantages r of it, thoy will duubtleBS cheerfully give ,t the rights of way, also. We believe the day is not far diatAnt ? now, when we can reach Atlanta from I Abbeville in a few hours without a g cliangc of cars. God speed the day. i Marriage In Jicwbtrry. a Newbkkry S.
