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. Lot them)be mon who
will reflect honor upon tho live
nod prosperous city of Lauren*.

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

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

session, that the President will call
fiftieth Congress in extra session
early after thc rotirlh of fMnrch, to

that if any revenue measMre ls
