A Dill lins been introduced in tho Qcorgiu Logislnture, seeking to es tublish an institution which is greatly needed in this state also, aud which our constitution says shall be established, "us soon ns practicable," namely ; a reformato ry prison or houso of corrodion for juvenile offenders. If ibero ovor was u time when such an institu tion wns neoded lt ls ?ow, and no where more than In Booth Condi na. Thoy have boen established by nearly every cizllized county on the globe, and the actual statistics show that more than 60 por cent of those placed in such Institutions go away reformed, and lead virtu ous lives. Childron commit crimos beforo they know their responsi bility, and tho serious nature of the offence. When they go to tho pen itentiary and minglo with tho har dened criminals to bo found tbore; when thoy aro daily thrown In con tact with them and listen to the horrible accounts each has to re late, there is little chanco of their ever becoming better, but rather, they become so familiar with crim inals and crime, that they go from bad to worse. It would be bettor from those Juvenal offenders, bet ter for sooioty, to put them out of the way altogether. We have no maudlin sympathy for persons con victed of crime. They should be punished and that too, to the ex eunt that will deter them in tho ?future. Dut when we seo so many young children sent to this den of Infamy, there to be companions of incarnate devils, and, when we seo these persons, after the expiration of their imprisonment go and com mit more serious offences, then we realize tho great responsibility res ting upon tho etotc to provide a house of correction for Juvenile of fenders. A certain Judge told a few days ago of a prisoner who was sent to the penitentiary when emito young, and he is now serving his fourth sentence. This is noith er strange nor exceptional. Our Washington correspondent evidently sent us a communication last week which ht had prepared tSor a Republican newspaper. He sta bed that the heads of departments .aere turning ont competent Re publican dorks and filling the of fices with "scrub denis." Ofeotarse we did not publish such a letter, for President Cleveland and these "heads" would have held an indignation meeting to brand this newspaper reporter as a mali cious libeler, Thus, the machine ry of government might have be come deranged, and wo profer to see the good work progressing without unnecessary delay. The Evening Sun is the ?amo of a new daily for Charleston, which will rise about the 16th inst. A. B. AV i i.i. i A MS, of the Greenville ?Veo**, is editor-in-chief. Mr. THADDEUS K. HORTON is now in charge of the "News, and judging front his efforts in journalism heretofore, we may safely predict continued success for that paper. "Failure" has been stamped upon every enterprise similar to the Sun in Charleston, but if success is possible, that terse writer and level-headed editor A. B. WILLIAMS can attain it. Tho Sun has'strong support and there is no doubt but that two dailies can 1 o supported in Charleston. The Ohio Democrats have de clared by their platform that they believe the liquor traffic should be regulated, while the Republicans declare for prohibition straight.

Object of which la to Promote Hon* .?ty. Truth ?nd Virtue ?mung thc Colorad People. A meeting?f tho Honest Labor Ins Society , composed of colored people was culled together nt Nee ly Fork Academy on Friday eve ning the 15th* Inst, mid wits well attended hy tho members and oth ers of the neighborhood including several white Iciti/cns who hud been invited to be present. Aaron Banders, tho President of Society t ailed tho meeting to order and briefly stated the purpose, whereupon ho introduced tho Kev. G. 1*. Fleming, who in eor.cho maa? uer explained fully tho object mid purpose of culling together thc So ciety nt this particular time. He said this Society was organized last February, and bad met regularly since; bud a Constitution and by laws setting forth the object and purposes hoped to be attained, and outside Of these was no other pr? tentions or intentions. He said this Committee had no "Knights of Labor'' or other aecret organizations injurious to u good and peaceful neighborhood, neither did tliey desire tho introduction of any such, und warned nil engaged in manufnctorlng such methods of ?trifo not interfere with the peace ful section. The Constitution was road, prv Axed willi a preamble which fully i St forth the rule of the Constitu tion, to wit: Wethe colored pio ple Keedy Kork neighborhood see ing and feeling tlie necessity of nu Organisation to guard against crime ?o prevalent among our rue* do adopt this Constitution for tho Hon est Laboring Sociwty. Articlo first, gives th? name of the Society, mid article second says tho object of this Society shu 11 bo to promote the jprogress of tho co lored race in every honest way possible. To guard against stealing the nonsenical effort of sustaining two or more women as wives, and to guard ngainst all improper and immoral conduct, mid to enforce tho law against tho lawless and use every effort to abolish indecency Intemperance, and all vices calcu lated to degrade mid destroy our civilization, Capt. Shell who waa present was invited to address meeting, which ho did by telling thc colored people that be was glad to know that they hud at last begun to realizo their true condition, as well us their re sponsibility to society. He said it was not impossible for the colored people to make themselves good, honest, truthful and efficient citi zens, but to attain to this degree lt would require ii monstrous revolu tion. Ho told them that it wns said that experience toadies knowled ge, but asked tho question, what ha? the experience of twenty two yours taught you ? Have you im proved ol bettered your condition or is it not a fact that you aro poor er to-day than ever before in your Jives, and purposo of your meeting to-day acknowledges your inferior ityand want of civilisation^ You complain of want of honesty, of of truth,and lastly of virtue, three ol tho most essential prerequisites to good society. He told them that tho signs of the times wero hopeful, that "without confession there was no remission of sin" and now that they desired to improvo their con dition and promote their mee, he bid them God speed and told them that the white people of the coun try would nssist ami sustain them under any and till circumstances when they deserve protection. J Ie told them they were the best und most reliable laborer under thc sun -for the use of tho Southern far mer-and he deprecated the day when this country should be de prived of their services and be for ced to seek ns a substitute the re fuse of foreign lands who were only flt to corrupt und plunder, and it will bea sorrowful day for the South when ?he shall experience such a change. He suki be prefer red a mean negro to a loathsome white man, for the former could be persuaded to labor some, whilst the lutter continually plundered ami were ever ready to Join bands With Nihilists, Dynamiters, and other mendacious clans. He gave instances of negroes who had lived long and lind boen honest, truthful mid virtuous, and asked if they hud ever heard of a white mun sneak iny evil or disrespectful of thom ? And he said such would be the opinion towards their entire race if it was deserving. We wish space would allow us to give more < f his address which wns unanimously sanctioned by all present. Mr. Ambrose If, Marlin was cal led upon, who In a plain, sensible way encouraged the colored people in their efforts to do good mid show ed them bow lt it was possible for them to become prosperous and happy. He admonished them to bo industrious and saving, und whatever they made whether the amount be great or small to set apo rt a portion of it for old ugo and pinching necessities. He told them that they had spent fortunes for whiskey, which had assisted in lowering their standard of morali ty and burroo! hundreds of their race to the penitentiary and gal lows. Several colored men mude ad dresses, amongst whom wore the President of tho Society together with Melmoth IIookcr,G.P. Flem ing and Wm. Fleming. They all oxpressly themselves alike, and de nounced immeasurably the merni practices of miwiy of their race; they longed to see tho day when tho prison doors nhould l ot he clos ed upon ono of their race because of crime committed, and trusted that tho shadow of the gallows should never again' full upon the earth, reflecting the image of a col ored roam charged with ?crime de Kerning of such a death. Tiley hoped their raco would persevere and st ri vt- on in pursuit of ktJbwl edcre until their conduct and char acter should bs above suspicion. Thoy denounced any and all at tempts made hy such dastardly whelps ns Hoover to interfere or atteint t to rome between them and tho white people of this country They expressed themselves as sat isfied witli tho treatment ns meas ured out to thom by their friends und said it was their own misman agement and stupidity that had so Justly circumscribed thom ami brought disgrnco and - dishonor on theil race. Thoy said the white people had in many instances sac rificed their estates to assist in their support, and all had grown poor to gether, and they expressed the hopo that tho futuro would bring a richer reward; that every man shall live by the fruits of his own honest labor and that God would speed the time when tho name of tho colored mau shall not be a syn onym of dishonor and crime. A motion was made requesting the publication of these proceed ings in tho I,aurons ADVERTISER and Lauronsville Herald. . AARON SANDERS, President, WM. FLEMING?, Sec. PROHIBITION. nv C. L. FIKE.

From the New York Tribune.] In "?le Hoof," especially in the country regions where anti-war no tions still to a large extent prevail there is much jealoussy and Ill-feel ing between the full-blooded no groos and tho half-breed ncgroo.-1 between the "black nigger" and the "yaller nigger"-as tho white corn er grocery loungers of those parts call thom. Curiously onough, the black negroes profess to consider themselves greatly superior to the mulattoes, notwithstanding the lat ter's ad i ixturc of white blood. Thoy rVclare that w hen tho gather ing together of tho nations of the earth, spoken of in the Hilde, takes place, there will be no placo for tho mulattoes and ne groes of mixen blopd, because being neither white nor black these "ain't got no iiashun," and consequently can't be gathered in. This notion has some hold oven "up North," as was shown by a scene behold tho other clay by a re pot ter in Rlookor street. Thore occured a "fracas" between a mu latto woman and a negro whose skin wa sEgyptian darkness. As ls the case with mont such quarrels, the origin nf the dispute was none thc less fierce for that while it last ed. They fought with natures weapons, and tho woman of puro African blood was worsted. But ?he still had a Parthian nrrowjleft. "TKO done whup yer," said the mulatto, triumphantly. " Well ef yer has whup me, I'se gwain to ax yer som o fin, an' ef yer answers dat yer kin whup me ag'n,'? "G'?ana, yor can't a* me ivoffln tlat I can't answer."
