TIll AMNESTY ltESOL UTIONH.
their Reason, Operation and Expected
Effect.
Hon. Charles H. Simonton has
written the following explanation
)f the amnesty resolutions passed
by the Legislature, of which he is
the author :
There seems to be some confusion
of ideas respecting the amnesty
resolutions adopted by the General
&ssembly during the session which
has just ended.
The objections urged against
these resolutions are, first, that
they interfere with the right of the
ittorney-general to prosecute and
with the power of the governor to
pardon ; second, that they are im
politic and wrong.
The law officer of the State
:fharged with the duty of prosecut~
ing offenders, can look only into the
sufficiency of the testimony. If
that be strong enough in his opinion
to reasonably secure a conviction,
liis duty is to prosecute. With the
propriety or policy of such prose .
3ution he has nothing to do.
Especially is this the case with the
prosecutions in question. In these
tll the facts were examined and all
the witnesses obtained by the
investigating committee. The briefs
in the cases were made up under
their direction.
Now, if it be remembered that
the investigation was inaugurated
by the Legislature, that it was
2onducted by one of its committees,
md that this committee made their
report to the Legislature, surely it
will be jadnitted that the Legisla
ture has the right to express its
opinion as to the course of action
to be followed upon the results of
its own work.
If, then, the Legislature, upon
receiving the report and examining
the testimony, should come to the
Conclusion that as to one class of
offleders the prosecutions should
be pressed, and that as to another
class amnesty should be extended,
who can complain ? Certainly not
the attorney-general, for he had no
concern with the motives or policy
of the prosecutions. He neither
instituted nor advised them. He
simply acted under the directions
of the Legislature. Surely not the
governor. His views were well
known anl frequently expressed.
The resolutions met with his ap
proval.
With regard to the policy of the
resolutions, they received almost
the unanimous concurrence of both
houses, in one of them after an
earnest debate.
They pledge the State to the
prosecution of the ringleaders.
They except only the tools and
instruments in the frauds.
They open the door to a general
gmnesty for political offenses in
this State, which may release from
prosecution eight hundred of our
own citizens.
They save the State from the
Bxpense attending a number of
prosecutions, the only result of
which will be the punishment of
persons whose power, to harm has
sensed,
They calm the excitement wlfich
followed the last election, and aid
the governor in carrying out his
plans for restoring peace in the
Staite, and for encouraging our
whole people to devote their time
mud labor to her material develop
rnent. CHARL,Es H. SIMONTON.
YOUNG GIRLs.-Oulr young girls
lo not understand the witchery of
oright eyes and rosy lips, but set off
;heir beauty by all the 'artificial
necans wvhich lie in their power,
'ever reflecting that by so doing
1hey destroy their principal charm,
~hat of innocence. Their rounded
hoieks, the bright eyes, the waving
iair of a girl in her teens need only
he simplest setting. Rich fabrics
mnd sumptuous adorning are more
or the matron, her, dress gaining
n ample fold and graceful sweep as
;he puts on the digrity of years.
L'he seasons teach us something
lore, if we go to nature for an object
esson. How different her charm
'rom the dt.op, maturing summer,
when the hues are decided, and the
air is loaded with perfume from a
housand censers. The school girl'
s only on the threahold of summer.
She has not crossed it yet. Let her
opy the sweet grace of the spring
mn her graduation day, and discard
srtificiality for nature.

GIADED .0IIOOLB.
An interesting letter from Hon.
Charles Petty appears in the Spare
tanburg Rerald, from which we
make the following extract :
In these schools all the children
of the same grade of advancement
are placed in the same class. Each
class has one teacher. To secure
more satisfactory results the number
of pupils in a class should not fall
below forty, nor exceed sixty. The
house must be constructed in such
a way that the classes are all sepa
rate, and one will not be disturbed
by the other. In Richmond the
commissioners estimate the cost at
$12.85 per pupil the present year.
They teach eight to ten months.
In Charleston theco schools are
very popular, and the best families
send their children to them, and will
send to no other schools. The
number of classes in these schools
ranges from six to twelve. The
higher the branches taught, the
greater the number of classes.
In Spartanburg, if you organize a
school of this kind, it should be a
mixed one. If you were to sepa
rate the boys and the girls, the
classes would be too small and the
expenses too great. A few of your
citizens might object to this, but
they would soon yield. It would
require an additional tax, and per
haps for a year or two private con
tributions, and those who have no
children to educate would object to
additional ta. When such persons
could be brought up face to face
with the benefits of such a school
they would willingly pay the tax.
These schools give more thorough
education. They cost the parent
much less than the old system. The
teachers do much better work with
half the labor. Bosides these ad
vantages it would be the best adver
tisement your town could publish.
These graded schools always draw
settlers. The first question asked
by a person'looking for a new home
is in regard to the schools.
A EM4RKAnnLR SCELNE.
A remarkable scene occurred
some time since at Chester Assize
Court. A woman having been
found guilty of the slaughter of her
husband, Mr. Justice Brett, in an
address to the prisoner, dwelt upon
the evider.ce of her husband's' long
continued brutality received with
exemplary forbearance, of the
special provocation she had re
ceived on the day of his death, of
the momentary passion which had
moved her to throw a sharpened
steel at him, without (the judge be,
lieved) any intention of striking
him. It did strike the man, and the
wife immediately ran for assistiance,
and did all she could to save him.
The judge then continued-"All the
real right in this case was on your
side, and all the real wrong on your
husband's ; and God forbid that I
should punish you. I will be no
party to it. I will not allow it to
be said by anybody that you are a
convicted felon, for a conviction is
not complete until a sentence is
passed, and I mean to pass no sen-,
tence at al'l. I merely ask you to
enter into your own recognizance to
come up for judgment if called
upon ; and nobody will ever call
upon you-God forbid they ever
should."
The address was interrupted by
loud cheering in the court, which
was renewed when the prisoner loft
the dock._______
AN [cE CALcULATJON.-It is esti
mated that 3,600,000 tons of ice
will be cut in Maine this winter.
Now, allow a quarter of a pound
of ice for a mint julep, and making
allowance for those wvho don't drink,
the rest of the peopile in Maine can
have about forty-nmne drinks each.
Saying that seven drinks will make a
man feel tolerably happy, out of
forty-nine drink. he can manage to
have seven drinks, and one man
drunk seven times is, of course,
equal to seven drunken men ; so the
whole ice crop will yield an aggre.
g ate of 2,100,000 drunken men.
Suppose that from every ten of
those who get drunk seven times
one has the jimiams ; 210,000 inen
