On the 12th inst. “Boss Tweed,” at one time Autocrat of New Nork, died in the Ludlow Street Jail, which was built while he was Mayor of the city. Strip ped of power, and of the millrons he had stolen, he died the death of a felon, Airnishing another illuatration of the truth that “tho way of ther'transgressor Lhard.” TfceDaity eft he DeaMOcracy. Every democrat should attend the meeting of his club when it elects dele gates to the May convention. Under our eontt notion of the circular of the State executive committee, published in an« other column, the representation of each club is regulated by tho number of mem bers who have enrolled themselves since the circular was issued. If we are cor rect, then every man should be at his post, so that every club and section may be fairly and fully represented. Very Important measures will be decided by that convention. In addition to the clec sera we hear it rumored that efforts will then be made both in favor of and against the adoption of the pri mary election system. In a question of such interest it is essential that tho will people be unmistakably ascer •eell*wallam»m<l e>c tflrti Halloa of the rained, and that can be done only through the precinct dubs. By the dis cussion of this proposed measure in the local clubs the sentiment of each neigh borhood will be learned and the delegates will come up prepared to vote and speak Intelligently. pjS-eV; The Penitentiary. XU- - '* Several of our exchanges seem greatly exorcised because tho convicts confined in the penitentiary have been recently . placed upon a diet of bread and water orthodox prison fare. Their sympathies have been aroused by the sufferings of thorn unfortunates and they have feel- attributed their short rations to the “folly” of the Legislature, in limiting the appropriation for the support of the penitentiary to the sum of $20,000. Now we do not agree with our edito- fial brethren in their strictures upon the action of the General Assembly, and we do not sympathize with the prisoners in that institution. They have violated the Lwa of the State, have been convicted and sentenced after fiiir and impartial trials and simple juetice reqtlfrod that they should pey the penalties of their crimes. Heretofore the penitentiary has "'had no terrors for the average criminal, it has been to him a city of refuge from the daily labors of the field and tho priva tions of poverty. Although clothed in ■tripes rather than in fine linen he has fared sumptuously every day. The faro ■applied by hnmane superintendents has satisfied his ambition and his appetite and led him to regard the life of a field hand as infinitely more disagreeable than well fed existence he spends * pensioner of the State. But that day is post. Under the new order of *hings the penitentiary ceases to a hospital for criminals, a charitable institution, and becomes what its name iMhould bo, a place of punish' Hereafter the law-breaker, when his term of imprisonment ends, will leave that inatitutioaa wiser and better man. We know that the largely decreased ap propriation was made in no spirit of Wanton cruelty. The committee based their estimates upon the report of the mad anticipated that the “army of occupation” would be largely reduced by the withdrawal of those mi nor offences and UK Lind their em- ^; upon of The Legis public feeling, they Charity and honest folks should (t an increasing The 'questions of supreme Import ance to the Country are theseAre we to be forever fighting sectional bat tles. Is the era of icoondUatlon to be forkver postponed ? Is there to be no end of bloody shlrtlam ? Are patriot* ism, fraternity and union to be forever tabooed, that a miserable set of fanat ics shall obtain and retain (ower? Are we to be forever discussing the war ? Is there nothing hotter than such ex asperating toploa to engage the att* n- tlon of the American people? The subject demands a careful review. Tho prosperity of the country demands a change of programme. Those who continually Inject sectional animosities into public affairs are enemies of the country, and-should be treated us such by patriotic men of all parties. The Radical party, bower, has nothing to rely upon but Its old stock of sectional hates, and these crop out on all occa sion* when question* of national tao- portaoce^ *re—under uteomwkm. It does not matter that the war, long since ended—that States have been reconstructed, and have taken th«lr rightful plsoes In the Union—that dis tinguished Confederates have had thHr disabilities removed and the way made clear for a union of hearts and a union of hands, for rebuilding the waste places and for the Introduction of an era of prosperity and good wil’. All these things amount to nothing with the leaders of the Radical party—con spirators who etabbed coBStitutione, overturned sovereign States, murder ed liberty, pint rtered the people, Inau gurated anarchy, debauched public morals, and finally utiliied petjury as a means of placing a fraud in the office of President. These leaders of Rudi- Ism, these scabby scoundrels who ap plaud crime, these apologists of theft, these defenders of carpet-bag govern ments, these lickspittles of Grant and apostle* oT Infamy generally, ar* the creatures who ars forever att* rnptlng to glorify their patriotism byusealllng men who, though in the Confederate army, are as much their superior as Gabriel la superior to Judas-men who, though they were rebels, wore not thieves and who seek office for the exalted purpose of performing their duty rather than as a means of plun der, which Is the overruling Radical Idea. But the time hns gone by uhen Radical conspirators can fire the Northern heart with hates toward the South. If Congress puts a Southerner In a subordinate office the fact Is not to be tortured into an act of treason and rebellion. There Is a broader view to be taken of such transactions. All are citizens now; one country, one flag, one destiny. The war with its bloody trophies has passed away. The new era means peace, progress, fra ternity. There has been reconcilia tion, and the verdict of the people North and South is that it must not be disturbed. Sectionalism ought not to be revived, and he who seeks to Inject it Into the councils of government ted NEW ADVERTTSEMENTS. Court of Common titan.

Tbo Ueraocriicj. [Pickens Sentinel.] The Democratic party within the brief period of eighteen months which It has had control of the government, has lifted the State out of the political mire into which it had been plunged by aliens and adventurers, and placed It upon a solid foundation of decency, honesty and reform. The laws are en forced with equal and exact justice, peace and order reigns supreme throughout the entire borders of our State. Taxation has been reduced from an average of thirteen mllle State tax, to six and q half mills; every hpp- eet obligation of the State Is promptly paid and no defleienees created ; the judiciary of the State has been recon structed and purified ; many obnox ious and oppressive lake have been repealed, and laws suited to the wants and demands of our people enacted lo their stead ; a usury law, prohibiting the oppression of the more unfortu nate class of our people by the money lenders has been enacted ; a law pro hibiting ruinous discriminations on local freights by railroads, has been passed ; the great phosphate Interests of the State has been settled and a royalty three or four times the amount heretofore paid secured to the State ; salaries and fees have been re duced lo nearly every Instance to the lowest living point; the Interests of the farmers have been closely guard ed ; the hiring out of our convicts has been authorised, whereby the expen* ses of maintaining them can be re- dneed to a mere trifle, and pjstiby the State may receive an- Income from them. There are many other changes which we conceive to be In the Interest of the people that we have not space to’ enumerate. Our people have gone to work in good earnest to rebuild their shattered fortunes, and arc be coming cqnteoted and happy under this state of afbics as in days of yore.
