TilE RECENT storms destroyed a
vast amount of property and pre
vented travel several days.
Mn. Nonrinor IS been removed
from tho position of district attor
noy, in consequenco of some irrogu
larity in his appointmont.
CoLS. T. S-rono FARROw and W.
R Cathcart were candidates for tho
position of Clerk of the Senato, vice
Woodri, abdic:.tAd. Col. Farrow
received the Democratic caucis
nomination on the sixteentli ballot.
ON TIM 7th of December, Georgia
will vote upon her new constitu
tion, and on the question of re
moving the capital from Atlanta
to Milledgeville. Tho constitution
will bo adopted ; the capital ques
tion is i'n doubt.
PATTERSON 1. IWehavinlg Most
beautifuily in the Senato, ' In the
Butler-Corbin controversy, ho is
sticking to tie Democrats closer
than a brother. Perchance, repent
ance has struck him amidships. All
criminals repent before they die or
aro hangod.
A MONT1 Aoo the Now York
Times 811Aw fit to cry persecution
beellse the pooplo of South Caro
lina .ccused Patterson of bribery.
Now, thle Times chlarges openly'
that Patterson has been bribed by
Senator Butler to voto for his
admiksioi. That dirty sheet blows
hot and cold by turns.
Con. RIcIIAn LATERs has been
declared elected to the New York
Senato by a majority of eleven.
Two hundred an.1 fifty votes cast
for Judge Robertson, his Republi
can competitor, were thrown out
because of irregularities. There
upon the Radical papers announce
that the Senate, which is Republi
can, will recount the vote and
unseat Latbers. But unfortunately
Judge Robertson was one of the
"visiting statesmen" who went to
Louisiana and promulgated the
doctrino that there 'ean be no
"going b)ehinld the returns." It is
retributive jnastice that this chris
tian statesman is hoist with his
own petard.
The Legislature and its 'Duties.
The Legislature assemlJd in
Columbia on Tuesday the 27th,
under far different ausp)icos from
those under which that body met
last year. As a result of the Demo
cratic victory thus achieved, no
soldier paces the State H ouse
grounds; The peoll are once
more sup)remo. The question with
the Legislature now, is not what
President Grant wants, or wh at
General Ruger will permit ; but
what the people of South Car'olinai
demand. The eyes of the legislator
must be t u-rned hom w~ard.
And no emnpt.y spectacle greets
the eye. On every hand arise
causes for matutre deliberation and
cautious legislation. The whole
State lies prostrate. Thue peop)le,
freed from the heavy political
weight, are still laboring under the
fearful financial depression which
it entailed. Any legislation that
can assist in lifting the people ups
must be enacted. Obstacles must
be removed. The State govern
ment IMust become a helper of the
poople, not an incubus.
It is impossible to enumerate at
once all the nieeded reforms to be
contemplated by the Legislature.
A few prominent points, can, how
ever, he0 suggestedl. In the first
place, Judge Wright. sho.uld be
summarily hauled down from the
supreme bench, if ho does not
anticipate matters by resigning,
Then the Legislature should cas6
about and put the ablest and purest
jurist, whover he may be, ,in the
vacant soaki Nowv is the tine to
-rentore the' Sipreme Court hilly tg
its pristine reputati6n. 'The next;
huunan abanMl be the. renulaiumi
of railroads running through tho
Stafo, against all of which grievous
complaints havo been raised of gross
violations of the rights of stock
holders, and unjust and exorbitant
rates of tariff on freights. Another
question of serious moment is - the
publit debt. This should be caro.
fully scrutinized, and overy dollar
of frauduuent obligations thrown
out. But the most important and
the most perplexing question of all
is the levying. of a tax for the
present fiscal year. The State
needs moncy and must have it.
But on the other hand the people
are poor, miserably poor, and the
profi.ts of the present crop abnost
infinitesimal. The long list of
delinquent taxpayers shows what
dilictilty has bee found in meeting
the levy for last year. Can it be
imagin ed that, with another tax in
January, this list will not be in
definitely incroased ? In plain
words, the State cannot stand an
other tax this winter. What por
tion of a 'new tax, it can pay is for
tho Legislaturo to detornime. The
end to bo accomplished is the re
duction of the tax to a still smaller
figuro than at present, and the levy
of a portion of it this w inter and
of tMe balance next fall.
Every Democratic Legislature in
the Soouthern States has been
consured by its constiLucents. We
trust, our Legislature will prove an
exception to this general rule. The
members should aetA wisely aind
should have a greater solicitude
for the welfare of the State than
f(*r their own personal aggrandize
ment. Let them remember, too,
that in making or marring them
selves, they will mako or mair the
State.
