C., Nov. 4, 1883 The next South Carolina Legislati will contain a great many of what commonly known as "wild meniher l'hey are the members?who will serving their first terms, men "-r< from the people," thoroughly imbhr with a patriotic :desire to~do aot thing for somebody. Their int tions will . be good, and they V strive to piomote the public w% fare. They will not be "rotten F urated or permeated with politic but will be chock lnll of id! concerning everything, and in deavoring to carry them into elk. they become "wild." Thcy are, h< ever, all South Carolinians, con quently, conservative, just ail ti to the best interests of the Stat a in the end will act wisely and w Many measures of impor:ance v come up for consideration. Amt these the establishment of our 1 riculture College, the reorganizati of the Department of Agricultu the repeal of the Lien laws, and I calling of a State Constitutional C< vention. It is too early to pred what may be done with any of th< matters. It is' the general opitti -however, in well informed cire that the depressed condition oi i agriculturists, and the great loss property in Charleston, will oper: to defeat the Agricultural Coli and defer, for a time at least, t Constitutional Couvention. The Li laws have been practically repeali so far as the merchants are conce ed.

It has been proposed to organize the Department of A, culture by increasing the number the Board and having the membi elected by agricultural societics iI conventions. The wildest member the Legislature will hardly favor ti proposition. Some of the members of the l.g lature may favor enlarging the Boa but they will never consent to g up the power of electing that, lBo: themselves. 'lThe L.egislature is countable to the people for its Lions, agricultural clubhs are accot table to no one.

Meanwhile we wish to speak a word of comfort to those who must be held accountable for the future of what we may call the George movement, and a word of warning to those timid souls who see the terrible "red spectre" in every fresh effort to organize the working. men for any purpose whatever. We do not see in the George vote any threat to "property and order." The behavior of' the mnen who cast this vote at all their meetings and public demonstrations previous to election (lay, as well as their conduct since, has been ts peaceable and or derly as the behavior of Mr. Hewitt's party or Air. lioosevclt's party. It is only to some ill considered and very foolish eXpressions of some of lr. George's campaign speakers, in cluding Alr. George himself, and to the presence in the ranks of his fol lowers of' a certain number ofAnarch. ists and Socialists that even the most timid property owner could take ex ception-save and except Mr. George's theory of land taxation and confiscation. As to this last, it was scarcely more an issue in the canvass than were Mr. IHewitt's or Mr. ltoose. velt's tarif reform views. Mr. George himself admits that as Mayor lie could have had nothing whatever to do with the ownership or taxation of land, and we do not look for any considerable spread of theories so radically and unmistakably unsound and hostile to the interests, not mere ly of the few, but of the great ma jority. We may add that the Anar chists and Socialists who supl)orled Mr. George are working, in this lie. public, uponi soil in which their ideas can never take coot, and so long as they obey the laws they can (1o no great harm. The death sentence about to be executed upon Spies, l"ielden, Parsons, and their associ ates in Chicago shows what happens to these visionaries when they at. tempt to put down by lawless force those whom they are pleased to call their. oppressors. .liind fea'r oI the Consequences to soriety iniivolh ed inl thet apearance of the ( eorge party is aln evidenc of an inability or an unwillingness to rea son out its meaning and promise. But that view which denies to it any reason able cause for existence, which lumps these 68,000 voters indiscrim inately together as Anarchists, vaga. bonds, cranks, and tramps. and which conceives no way of' dealing with this new force save to fight it and put it down, iinplies anl understanding of our lRepuhlictat (iovernmuent quite as densely stupid and violently wrong as thimt of the Anarchists themselves. A sentiment or a complaint which ftinds e,Xpression in the castimg of G8,000 votes in a single city is not to ie disposed of by the process of' sup pression. The other and the wiser way, the Am1erican and Republican way, is to consider soberly what ideas, what wants, what grievances this vote rep. resents, and so far as these ideas and wants and gi'evancCs are sound and reasontable andt well founded to re cogizie thtetm and to take suchi steps as wvill cointen)t the unteasiness p)ro oduicedl by thei r f'ailutre of' recognition in the past,.
