A recent editorial expression in an exchange gives the idea that there is by common consent, an unwritten law that oar State otficers shoal I serve two terms. Tue recent practice probably warrants the remark, but if it be true that this custom has given rise to any such thing as an "unwritten law." or If it shonld be considered in any de gree obligatory toc?ntinuo the custom because it is a c ustom, it is to be regret? ted. Tile only claim anv officer can have for a second term. U. "duty faithfully performed." With this record, a re election is right, but not otherwise. From tile earliest records of history or tradition, a public o:fiee in South Carolina has been a place of honor. Indeed, i: is a matter of state pride that our public m?n have so success fully maintained the dignity and lion? or which shoal I alien \ servants of th e people. To be entrusted with tho management of public affairs, even in an bumble way. is an bono- para mount : not because of tbe perquisites, but thA expression of confidence im plied. If men have been male their own successors, we are constrained to believe it was a testimonial to worth, an I not thc servile recognition of a custom. In t;;is matter of rewarding puolic officers by re-election there is nee I for a cl jse and accurate discrimination. Thc final test should 1 e the record of the offices while in service. A change, mearly for tho sake of change, is sup? ported by no soun i argument. But on the other han 1 the patronage of the Office often favors fie scheme of mon who have not realized that tho people reward merit. It is just atv! pros/> *r for faithfulness to he rewarded, t>ut an o.Ti-.c- s'.ioul i acer he conferred as a pension. There was atone time a law in this State, that certain county o:fi..ers should serve only one term: and we have seriously double 1 the expo diency of changing that law. Tho obvious intondment was to re .move t!>e tem ptation which thc encumbent hal to ben 1 the st ern di .'tates of duty so as to avoid displeasing a voter. Hut it is hoped that the necessity for such an enactment does not nowVxist. and that men have come to see that thc best mode of electioneering is liv at tending strictly to dutv. At any rate, it is well1 to rememher that there is no law written or unwritten, for contin uing a mau in office ; and when candi? dates, as the election "seasou draws near, close their office to shake hands with voters, it is well to remind them of this fact. Townships and Railroads. Tn ?! !,ion ol' .Judge Norton, in the Greenville and Port Ito;, al raii roal case, referred to last week, does not effect the bon ls issued by a coun ty in aid of railroad}, but only the bonis issued by tue townships which subscribe I to this particular road. Sullivan Township, in this county subscribed to this road, and inasmuch ns one end of the line has at present little assurance of the benefits of a railroad in any reasonable time, the tax-payers will loolc forward to the result, of tills eis? with consi ieruble interest. Judge jtforton deciles that these bonds are invalid, and that the interest paid by the tax-payers must be refunded, ile denies the power of townships to subscribe to railroads on two grounds: First, because a town ship not being a corporate body, the Act chartering the Greenville and Port Royal Railroad and amendatory Act3 chartering thc road as a body corporate, attempts bo make a sole power and for thc sole purpose of en abling it to subscribe to the stock of another corporation, the railroad. This he holds, violates Article 2, Section 20 of the Constitution, that "every Act or resolution having the force of law shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed in thc title." Second, were this point successfully controverted the Act would still mc obnoxious to "Article il. Section 8 of the State Constitution. Within the meaning of this provision Ninety-Six is not a township and thc purpose as to its subscription to the railroad, is not a corporate purpose within the moaning of thc provision. Thc two Acts, so fur as they authorize a sub scription by townships to tho railroad in question, and so far as they pur port to incorp?ralo any township or townships, aro doclared to be uncon stitutional and void and taxes levied under such Acts ar? illegal. Soin?- Fallacies. Within tho last quarter of a century the minds of inventive tioniuscs have turned towards improving agricultural Implements : au I tools of this kind have been made which greatly reduce ?belah >r required in cultivating a crop . Periodically! as these improvements are given to the public, we fin.i those who become alarmed, and insist that laborers wiil suffer in consequence. But as )ften, this proves to ho errone ous. Improve 1 agricultural imple ments do not deprive laborers ot'em ployment, but on the contrary, enable them todo more work, and produce more. Thc same rule obtains in other lines, j When the first typesetting machine was placel bi a ofsjco of the New York paper, the printers of the United States were ready to abandon ? the tra le. Tee Printer's Union at once denied ils use. and forbade members working iu the office. Time prove I, however, that while one ma- i chine cou! I do the work of several j I men, offices using thom emplovcd the j same number of bands, and the result ! was an increase ia business. Hence thc Unions discovered their narrow j and short-sighted view, and ended the 1 boycott. Thc groat improvements made ; with in the past decade in printing and printing presses, bave almost rc ? voluttonized tho business : but yet, ! the demand for printers has never been greater : and to-day. more men are engaged in this avocation at living wag?: s then ever before. It is a fallacy to suppose that labor i must bc protected by discouraging j labor-saving devices, and it is equally , fallacious to suppose that labor must be protected by any other artificial moau3-the claim of protection by aa unreasonable and unjust tariff not excepted, Senator Ingall made a high bid for : the bubble of a nomination as the Re? ' publican candidate for the Presidency, ; when from bis position of eminence in j the Senate of the United States, he hurled his bitterest invectives upon the : President, and General McClellan and Hancock. Ile prove? that he bad j read the program of the Republican ! campaign, and seen the sanguary vest* i merit upon which it is inscribed. But I the roce ..?I iou of that speech proves ? that he has mistaken the temper of the honest men of his own party and j has gono a step too far in his vi Utica ' lion of honorable men, even fur some I Northern Republicans. It is charactlsistio of the Arnon I can people to honor and admire conr* I age; whether displayed in the field or forum : an 1 when a man who held i the bomb proof position of Judge-Ad* . vocale in an army, calls his leaders, . weltering in their own blood, traitors, ! then be is an object of tho Utmost COU* , tempt! This country is at '.east safe ; from Mr. Ingalls, William B. Bell, ? A man who has enjoyed to a full ! -legree thc confidence and esteem of ! his billows: ever prominently id?nti* j Qed with enterprises for^.lte promotion j of both moral and industrial progress. Such a man was WILLIAM B. BELL. Honest, fair, courageous, liberal, h;s loss will be felt keenly in the commu nity where his labors and rewards were daily witnessed, while Laurens County can ill alford to loose jf?<?\ a citizen. But, while tooday we bow in ' submission to the wiil of Providence. ; this noble example of a consecrated ' life remains to point the youth of fu ture ages, upward. We cail attention to-day to the no? j tice given by our Mountville Corres* pondent to a meeting to be held on Saturday, 24th inst., at the school bouse near Mr. Henry Thompson's for the pur?wse of forming a mutual ben j cfit club. The farmers generally are j especially invited to attend, and it is hoped that sufficient interest may be manifested to make the organization successful in the nighest degree. We are hot sufficiently informed to give the exact purpose of this organization in detail, but presume its object is similar to thc Farmers Alliance, which has for a number of years been of great benefit to the farmers of Texas and the West, and which is rapidly gaining ground in the South, hst all interested attend. The State of Michibin ranks se cond in the Union . in the matter of farm mortgages. The recent investi gation by thc ll. S, agricultural de partaient reveals the fact, that one half the farms in the state are mortg aged, aggregating 8300,000.000. The state of Michigan also ranks second in the estimation of certain "SoiO- 1 mons," in thc matter of agricultural colleges, coming next to Mississippi, with a separntc and distinct school for farmers. Quite a number of exchanges have approved the plan of apportioning to each county atone timo, convict labor equal to tho amount contributed hy . the several counties. We can see no W???????????^?m reasonable argument against the plan and trust tho legislators ?rill now give tin. matter a little attention. ENTRE-ACTE REVERIES.
