SontO Stales hnVO decided to es tablish schools in prisons anil peni tentiaries, in which to instruct pri sons convicted of crime, rt is v.cii probably, for these Staten that have reformatory institutions for Juvenal offenders, such as oar constitution content" tat? s to instruct sue!: often ders 'as uro plnccd lhere for correc tion, but tho schctnc to convert penitentiaries hito school-houses, ls absolutely wrong. A stato pris on is a place of punishment, and we hiive no spmpnthy with that class of philanthropists who insist that criminals should enjoy royal case and comfort. Criminals should be made to work and while they should ofeourso bo treated humanely, it is wrong to make a prison a desirable place. Xever placo a premium on crime. lint aside from this, ?ducation docs not always proniolo morality. Wo bollevo in education, (he free school system (which* couldj'und ought lobe improvod)thc,Sttito uni versity which we wo aid rejoice to soo tho powt r of any in tho world, and as free and open to tho sons i-f South Carolina as the air breathe; yet, we do not believe that educa tion is so powerful in diminishing crime as to justyn school for con victs. Indeed it is still an open ques tion if education lessens crime at all. Illiteracy among whites persons in Massachusetts is 3J percent and she luis22criminals to every lt?,'inn white inhabitants, In South Caroli na, illiteracy among tho.white ls 22^porcont and wo have 54 crimi rals to every 10,000 white inhabi tants. We do :M{ bollevo that education increases crime, but wo do bollevo that it will fail to decrease it un loss principled ol' morality, trutht vlrturo and tempor?neo are Instill ed ulong with ii. It would bo bet tor to work on tho hearts of crim nals, rathor than tho hoad. ; '":; ' ; THE COMING Ml.Ct TION. 5 Tho management of city affairs, the (city government, in ?Augusta has for tho past few weeks excited comment. Charleston also has crit icised her administration, and it is certain that if anything gees wrong, tho public will have the particulars ? borough the burcaux'of the Newland Courh >' and Chronicle ?RP'ho management of a town, how ever insignificant, is ?i ( matter of the greatest importance. . indeed upon, the shoulders of "city farth ers" vests a greater responsibility than some seem to think. Sn town can prosper when city taxesjjaro higher than necessary, and public money is expended extravagantly. No town can prosper when tho or dinances are openly and notorious ly violated day after day. It mat ters not whore the blame attaches if a law is violated and thc eilender goes "tinwhipped "of justice" it is better to repeal thc law. Lau rons is now'Jon tho "eve of an ?lection for Mayor and Aldermen, and it bohooves every citizen to look about him for tho right men. If you have a kindly feeling for your town, do not allow this mat ter to -?o by default. See to it that tliose woe ?ill thone positions aro sober, honest and upright. Soo also that they have capacity? Mon w ho have not managed their own affairs properly, seldom make the host guardians of tho public. Good fln nncies should be elected.* Wo want the city Anids expended in a mah tter that will bring tb<' greatest good, Bravery and brute courage aro excellent qualities, but It should be borne in .mind that they bolong moro to tho policeman than to ibo Mayer. What wo need ls a council composed r>f men with moral cour ra Mon who have tho sound j I'MJI and discretion to pass go. i Paws and tho moral COUragO to enforce thom. Lot US have a council thatToprexours no class or faction, bul tho interest oi Laurens. Lot then! be men who cari and will give equal rights te all and oqual protection.

So far, wb'Jc w !?.iv< nottho ?lags toglvo the ?NAi't htogm?;?<' of Ibo telegrams, the predictions have with one ox yti ).%, boon strictly verified. The united States government has for years boon engaged i ri per fcctingihls Service. Hon, Alnx ander H. Stevens took groat Into rost tn the mensuro und advocated it.

Washington, Dee. ill, 1880 Tlie Congressional holiday vaca tion will close next Tuesday und the session will then re-open. Tho Capitol lia-boee, practically desert ed by Congressmen and visitors fer the pasl week, bul on Thursday tho remains of Senator Logan were Li ken thither lo Ho instate, and to day tlie Semite Chamber was tho scene of ld : Imposing obsequies Almost everybody prominent in official and social circles' here was present, and a long procession of citizens, civic and military organi zations in charge of General Sheri dan followed the deceased Senator to Kock ( ?reek c metery. For twenty-four bonis preceding the funeral the Senator's remains reposed on an historic bier In the rotunda of tho Capitol nod the pub lic passed through to view them. The bier was Ibo same on which rusted ibe bodies of President Lin coln, ('hies .J ustlec ( !haso. President Garfield, and Thaddeus Stevens, There lias bei n a great of talk among Illinois Congressmen ia re gan! to the politic:.! effect (d' GoP eral Logan's death. Said Itopro ie n Inti ve Townsond, "lt will do ?nore to throw the Slate ?ab? lb;' control of the Democracy titan any other event I can conceive of." Tho Into Senator has boen able to hold bis parly logCthi t '.??b moro sue* cess than any other man in the State, by ronson of his poo larlty among tho soldier element und with the masses of.tho people. Now that tho Republicans aro without a strong lender In Illinois tho Demo? crnls have on excellant chunco of carrying the State at thonoxl ( lec tion. An to tho Senator's since- ior In tho sonate, tho two most prom inent aspirants are Gov. Oglosby and ax-Congros mian Fnrcwoll of Chicago. It Is a singular coincidence that belli of tlie candidatos for Vico President in INS i ar:' dead, ami both candidates fer President aro at this moi tent suffering from Di" same malady. Strangely onough too in the cases of ?Sf ess rs I fondrick - and Logan, the pall of mourning fell upon holiday festivities in their respectivo home-. There ls nothing in President Cleve!.ind's condition to arouse any anxiety Oil the pari of the public, but be is suffering from another attack of rheumatism, one of his knees ls again painfully involved, and for the past week, be has spent most of bis time between the bod and lounge. Ile has been abstain? lng from ?ill unnecessary exertion in tho hopi of being able, bysuch care, tobe np and ready to see the people on New Year's day. Tho eyes of tho Whole country are focused upon the act loll of ( 'ongress Upon the Interstate Commerce bill. This bill presents usipmre Issue be tween tho millions of producers and Consumers Ol) 'be enc side and (be ...'reedy railroad orporants on tho other, ft is not proposed In tills '??11 to forbid ibo railway companies from charging more per milo fer a gh.ort haul Iban fora long one. poe? i pie expect to buy iit wholesale for ! less than at retail. Tito long :u:il short oft he long nud short haul pro vision is Just this. No railroad company shall chnrgo inoro dollars for carrying a ton of freight half tho disranco between two points than is charged for carrying Ibo same ton of freight tho whole dis? (ance. As much as $800 a car load has boi n charged for freight to ?o veda I rom thc cast, when tho freight en the Hame through to Sacramouto I rom tho wa mo point East was only ?.SOO. Whether tho opposition of the rail roads to tho Interstate Commerce bill bas unythiug lo ilo with the op position of Senators to thc Railroad Attorney bill, is one of* tho latest conundrums nt 'tho Capitol. Ft is easy enough te understand why n member of Congress who ls in receipt ol* handsome retaining fe< ? from M Rubsidized'rallroad ''ompnny should be opposed to tho) Bock bill or in case of Its passage, ho would ho combelled to resign his seat and rotiro from legislativo lim. or else terminate his professiocal"engage ment? with tbs eorpoti lions. Tho moro fact that n Senator or Uopro sontative ls working to defeat this proposed legislation, creates ?1 war ranting suspicion that if ho ts not already in the service,ol the roods he expects lo be. or is at least open to solicitation. Senator Heck is tryingto render such scandalous Imputations upon tho good name of tho Smmto impossible and ;?> fa cilitate the progress of wholesome legislation, There has boon n g??d deal ol ex tra session talk in connection willi Um Treasury surplus problem. .Ma ny public -ova believe, ; 11 ??" lie satisfactorily solved during this session, that the President will call fiftieth Congress in extra session early after thc rotirlh of fMnrch, to perform the task of relieving the Treasury of soui?'of I lioso surplus miilb ns, ( Ubers point to tho fact that if any revenue measMre ls hr tight ' . lore the hoirsc '.*.*$* sure to spring tho Tariff question, and that ginee lt Booms impossible to pass, any bill changing the Tariff tl:c extra esslon would be no moro likely to comply with tho Presi dent's wi hos than the present one.
