'Tfluews and ;Otahti WINN8BORO. 8. C. Thursday, April 11, I: 1878. A. ME ANS DA ri$, EDITOR. JNo. S. M YNOLDB, ABSOCIATE ZrIoR. The State Board of Examiners. The new school law adopted at the recent session of the Legisla ture practically abolished the unwieldly State Board of Educa tion, which consisted of all the county school commissioners, and instead provided for the appoint ment of a State Board of Examiners, consisting of the Superintendent of Education and four others, invest ing this board with the fullest powers in the management of school affairs. This board appoints two examiners for each county, who with the school commissioner com pose the County Board, thus abol ishing the old law which made the school commissioner solo arbiior of e3hool matters in his county. It was found necessary to provide this check on account of the number of worthless and irresponsible com missioners elected in some of the counties. The State Board itself will shape the system in the State and a good board cannot fail to be of incalculable service. The governor has appointed the following-named gentlemen, who will doubtless be acceptable to the Senate: Rev. J. E. Dunla p, of Marion; Hon. Charles Petty, of Spartanburg; Hon. J. S. Murray, of Anderson, and Prof. Henry P. Archer, of Charleston. Superin tendent of Education Thompson will be ea officio chairman. Mr. Dunlap is well known. Be sides his other qualifications he has filled two terms as county school commissioner. Mr. Petty is the principal of the school at Limestone Springs, and was chairman of the educational committee of the last House. Mr. Murray, if we mistake not, was nominated for State Superintendent of Education in 1872 on the Tomlinson ticket. He is a prominent citizen of Anderson. Mr. Archer is the principal of the public school in Charleston, and an educator of great experience and ability. The zeal and singular suc cess of Superintendent Thompson in reducing order out of chaos in his department need no encomnium here. If the board co- operate with him heartily, abill greater improvement will result, Amnesty, Cardozo has been discharged on bail, pending the decision of his appeal in the Supreme Court Small, is also at large on bail, and daily attends the sessions of Con gross in Washington. Cass Carpen ter has been pardoned on the plea of ill health. Several months ago these three men were tried, convict ed of crime and lodged in jail. The people supposed that this wvas but the beginning of a general overhaul ing of Radical rascals :and not a few of the "Bourbons" dreamed of see ing their pet abominations in a short time comfortably ensconced in the penitentiary. But they were born to disappointment. The prosecu tions have apparently ceased, and the criminal court of Richland again devotes undivided attention to the punishment of hog thieves and drunken brawlers. The three un fortunates who fell victims to justice are now at large, robbed of their good names, it is true, but as these were but trash before, their loss is not irreparable. The last, unkindlest out of all is inflicted by Cass Carpen.. ter,- who, released on the represen tations of a tearful wife that he wvas at the point of death, has sufficient ly rallied, on reaching the pure at~. mosphere of his native North, to revile the people of South Carolina, and to aver with fervor that no Republican can get justice in this State. If Carpenter is a specimen ease, we rat'er agree with him. Since the ele mency of the governor has thus been repaid by this Radical Ingrate, the best rejoinder would be a second requisition for the arrest of Carpenter on some of his other When parties, however, proposo this course, they are met with the answer that amnesty is the order of the day, and that the prosecution of ku-klux and "moonshiners" in the United States tribunals, and of Radical thieves in the Stato courts, are alike to cease. True, the saving clause is added that there is to be no com promise with the heads of the con spiracy. But, in dealing with such a hydra as Radicalism was, who can point out the heads ? No one of at least twenty leaders was more outrageous than the rest. So, in the dilemma thus presented, all seem likely to escape. Patterson, who is covered all over with moral leprosy, as with a garment, holds the balance of power in the United States Senate. Chamberlain, of whose guilt Senator Cochran boasted that he had un doubted proof, is still serving the blind goddess, justice, in the courts of New York. Kimpton fires into the South Carolina Democracy at long taw from the Thousand Iles of Canada. Scott puts out his money at usury to the unwary grangers of Ohio. Parker, after passing the rigors of winter at the hospitable board of Sheriff Dent, is now tend. ing his soap pots in Now Jersey. Mr. R. B, Elliott defends criminals with all his pristine eloquence bu fore the Richland court. Other honorable gentlemen are enjoying otium cum dig, in various conge nial localities. Frank Moses-but that poor boy always was unfortunate. For an in nocent man ho has had more bad luck than even the historic Murad. As Speaker of the House he stole about half a million. As governor ho squandered about as much more. And yet, after making two hemispheres stand aghast at his profligacy, ho escaped punishment for all this, only to be lugged into court for a pitiful steal of three hundred dollars, or thereabouts. The charge is that he forged Wood. ruff's name to a check. In better days Frank could have simulated Joe's chirography without fear, though thousands were involved. But Mr. Woodruff is now a reputa ble citizen of South Carolina, and resents such liberties. So Frank has been brought to Charleston and is in jail on that charge. It is another case of Goliath and the pebble, Sisera and the nail. There is one loophole loft for Moses. Woodruff is now a private citizen and a taxpayer. In robbing a citizen and a taxpayer, Frank wvas but~ carrying out the instinets of a Radical leader. His was, there fore, a political offence. And beiag such, he should claim immunity and amnesty. Whether lie has sunk so low that his plea will not avail him is a question. But it is worth try ing, at least. In the meantime, some people want to know where amnesty begins and where it ends. TO TIrE PUiLrC. The impression seems to have obtained some foot-hold in Winns bore that.I am connected with the local management "of THE NEws AND HERALD, and I have been taken to task for some squibs" appearing in its local columns. I now desire to say that I have no connection whaf, ever with the THiE NEws AND HERALD; and it would be entirely unnecessary for me or any other outsider to as sume any responsibility for the original matter published in this paper, as the gentlemen who con - duct it are abundantly able to take care of themselves, and do not shirk any responsibility for what they say in either the editorial or local do partmnent of their paper. T. RL. RODERTsON. AN OBvrous TaUTJH.-Me believe that it is hazarding nothing to say that no manm in the history of South Carolina has ever enjoyed greater popularity than Governor Hampton does to-day. In more respects than one his position is anomalouns. However paradoxical it may appear. it, is nevertheless true, that to abuse him would be to make him, if possi. ble, more popular t han ever ; and if he has enemies, those enemies would do wvell to let him soverely alone.-. THE NEW CAROLrINA. The Beneficial Effects of tho Southern Policy. "Galh" in the Philakidphia Times. The traveler in South Carolina, though he be the most radical of men for citizen rights, can see nothing but "hat is admirable in that gentle revolution achieved by Hayes atd Hampton. Two years ago one needed pro tection from both races-now from neither. Industry and protection lr"e rege.ne rated together ; there are no longer to be seen loafers of either race. It is almost to beo regretted that Georgia could notj also have entered the Union under sonic such compromise and showed a like wisdom and tolerance. Relief, occupation, cordiality, order and the sense of American nationality once more are conveyed by nearly every face in South Carolina. This is seen in the awakened curiosity of the people. Old men on the cars asked me with chlaritable interest about Blaine, Conkling, Grant and Ednunds. Where there is curiosity there is life. Torpid is that land where nanv questions are not asked. Said one person, t Presby terian clergyman, of Conkling: "I read his speech in favor of an electoral triaunal. It elevated him very high in my mind. But whei I saw that lie wante I to kick the commission over and quarrel with its verdict because it wouldn't somehow help his ambition, I thought, what a pity !" "How do you mean a pity'?" said I. "Why, a pity that ho couldn't rest on having done a wise thing. He just stripped himself naked, as it were, and showed us his sore." Jim Blaine alppeared -o be re garded in the South as a kind of Tony Pastor or Jim Crow-funny, but of no moral consequence. Nobody had ever heard of Tim Howe and an idea was abroad that there were several thoisand Camnerons and that the prineipal one was sickly and the next ono in love. There is a wide difference in temllperainot and talk between the South Carolinian and Georgian the former listens and reflects, gel erally without interrupt.ing the reciter ; the latter is better fed and more1- Voluptuous, spontanlcouls and volatile. I think the South Caro linians will again become the most popular typo of Southerners. JEFF. DAVIS OX TIL E LATE POPE. The Cleveland, Ohio, Catholic Universe, quotes from a personal letter to its editor from Jefferson Davis, the following tribute to Pius IX.: "I grieve with you over the dcceaise of the great and nobly-goodi Pio Nine. Inl conimnon with all who honor true piety, that wvhich begets universal charity, I feel the loss wvhich the Christian world has sans tained iln the departure of this graind exempllar ; but I have per sonal obligattions added to the common cause for mourning.

That the inscription was auitographie was attested by 'Al Cardinmal Biernado, Deceamber-, 1866,' under his seal."

He a'sw'ers all of Blaine's recent assami:! a upon him wvhen lie says :*"I never thought it was5 un-American to preovent stealing and to enforce law~s." The governor has extended the respite of Robert McEvoy, under sentence of death at Aiken, from the 12th to the 19th instant. This' action was taken in consequence of at communication received b)y the isvno rodm Judge Trhomnson who is ow oldngcou7rt at Aiken. Mo.

OTTO Fm WEITERS, Wholesalo Grocer --AND Commission Merchant, Nos. 110,112 and 181, CIA RLESTON, S. C TOTAL ABSTINENCE S;INU WINE TILL IT RIPENS. There is a curious story about some native wines which arc extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known ,rape-grower of Croton Point, died in 187r. .omne of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sohl or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It i only now that the other heirs have succeeded iit arranging for a set tlenient of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 186.1, described as a "Sweet Union Port," htI nggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other Ituropean wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growih. It purity, age and mellowness are renmarkab,l at both phy:,icians and wine fancier.; have a speciil interest in it as the olde'.t n1ati8 e Xu ine now accessihle in any con sidertble quaititv. The whole stock is in the h,nds of the well-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers.-N. Y. Triouue, Nei. 19, 1S77. The above speaks for itself, but we would add (hat this is the pure juice of the grape, neither drra,;, d, /iqore nor watered; that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for melicinal or sacramental purposes it is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who wiii forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
