DARLINGTON, S. 0.
South Carolinians Honored.
The latest news from Washington
gives the \cry gratifying intelligence
that Geucnl ilmuptoti has been ten
dered either the position of Railroad
Commissioner or Register of the
Treasury, and that he has accepted
the latter office. The position is a
responsible and honorable one, and
the salary is about six thousand dol
lars. Ur. Cleveland could do noth
ing that would more endear him to
all true, citizens of the State than by
this appointment.
It is also reported that Senator
llu tier has been offered a consulate
position, with a salary of twelve thou
sand dollars. By consulate it is
probably meant minister to one of the
great European powers. General
Butler would be a great loss to the
Senate, but would worthily represent
our country abroad.

Death of General Beauregard.
General Beaurgard, one of the
most noted of the Confederate chief
tains and the last one with the rank
of general, died in New Orleans Feb
ruary 20. The news of his* death
will be heard with sadness through
out the whole South, but more es
pecially in South Carolina, upon
whose soil was the scene of his most
brilliant exploits; for it was owing to
his well nigh matchless skill that
the Federal troops, armed with the
most improved implements of war
fare, assisted by a great fleet, with the
resources of the world at their com
mand, were held at bay, and pre
vented them, despite their utmost
efforts from capturing our chief com
mercial city. In addition to their
great numerical strength and their
inexhaustible resources, the Federal
army was commanded by General
Gillmore one of the bravest and
most accomplished officers in the l\
!j> Service, but his utmost valor aud
persistence could not wrest the
pfoud eity from the inflexible grasp
of its great defender, aud the record
of this long aud hitter siege will go
down in history as one of the bright
est pages of the whole struggle. From
July 10,1803, up to the time of the
jVttcuatiou of the city, in February,
1805, there was uo relaxation in the
efforts to capture the city, aud there
WAS not the least doubt as to the
Ability of the garrison to haVc held
it indcfiuitelyi Owing to the imper
ative necessity of recruiting the army
Of Northern Virginia, there was
herer a sufficisnt number of troops
At Charleston) and that was only one
of the many disadvantages under
Which General iieauregrrd labored.
Whatever may be the rank that
tihi future historian may accord
him as a cbthmundel' in the open
field, he will be Universally recog
nized as the greatest military engi
neer that the country has ever pro
duced} and his fame will endure as
long as the record of the siege of
Charleston finds a place hi the
AdflAls Of military history.
The Dispensary Law Again.
Rev. H. M. Mood, of Manning, a
cultured minister aud one of irre
proachable character, has written
two articles in the Manning Times,
The Railroad Tax CAses.
The decision Of judges bimonton
ivnd Gaff hays berti adverse to the
Bute in regard to these cases aud
jjreat diversity of opinion exists as to
whether the question of Btate sov*
tftiguty is involved or not. Borne of
Bflf Idwyeri, who are most averse to
the administration of Governor Till-
UAfli sustain the administration in
the fight abd regard the decision as
unwarrantable Invasion of State's
rights, while others say that this
question 1« in no way involved. We
have no Intention to express any
S inion as to the legal points involv-
but merely wish to call attention
to the attempt to make a political
question out of A purely legal one.
Governor Tillman has mad< the un
fortunate mistake of supposing that
au Adverse decision by A judge is an
exhibition Of hostility to his admiti
istrat<on. The decision of tha court
Would have been just the same if Mr.
hheppard or any one else had http-
peneu to tic governor. Tile whole
trouble of the matter is tBat the rail
roads insist that they have been as-
(Csicd too high, and in conse
quence of which are called upon to
ppy more than their share of the tax
es. U they are able to prove their
case, then Ihey are entitled to relief,
for to compel (hem to pay more than
their proportion is simple robbery
JtUder the form of law.
Xi Should be remarked that the
roads in question are inter-Stute lines
aud are managed by receivers upi>oint-
ud by the United States District Court,
which places them in the hands of
(his court.
We soe iu The News aud Courier
that our Charleston friends are
building another paper hotel on the
battery. This is a'anit the fourth
one that has been erected in the past
four years. These hotels bear a very
strong resemblance to the factories
that are being so constantly erected
^ to ftMJ# mh
in which he strongly endorses the
dispensary law, and takes the posi
tion that every good citizen ought to
aid in its establishment and enforce
ment. We do not for a moment
doubt Mr. Mood’s sincerity, but un
hesitatingly say that his judgement
is at fault aud that he entirely over
looks the moral part of the issue,
that is the gross immorality off the
State deriving a revenue from, the
depraved appetites of its own citi
zens. Mr. Mood contends that •in
the hands of a good man, we sup
pose he sees no objection in a Christ
ian accepting the position, although
he does not say this, the usui of
liquor as a beverage can be to a
large extent, restricted, if not en-.
tirely stopped, We have no inten
tion to be unfair in this eontrovqrsy,
but if the Intention of this law was
to prevent the use of intoxienutli as
a beverage, why dousi not the Word
ing of the bill s«y so? Bo fur trom
doing this it- makes special provis
ions for iW sale, the only restriction
being that it must be sold in pack
ages and not be used in the place
where it is sold. If the intent of
the law was to prevent the use of
whisky as a beverage, why did not
the Legislature give us prohibition
and not fasten this monstrosity upon
us? The best evidence that the au
thors of this iniquity did not con
template anything of this kind is
olearly demonstrated in the inert
fact that the dispensers are allowed
to charge such a large profit on its
sale, if it was simply designed as a
moral measure, why should the State
make a profit from it? If tlm au
there of the measure Were actuated
by moral and philanthropic motives
in forcing its passage, why did they
not allow it to be sold at a price that
would merely cover the cost of hand
ling it? Hud they been actuated by
proper motives they would have
heeded the instructions of the peo
ple and have given them prohibition,
it is difficult to understand how the
advocates of this measure can so ut
terly ignore its moral aspeet, and in
their haste to defend it put them
selves in a position that is in the
highest degree untenable, unless tiny
hold the fallacious and dangerous
doctrine that it i» right to do eril
that good may come of It. In using
this expression, however, we do not
for a moment wish to make the im
pression that we think any good can
come from the law, even if it is put
into operation anti its provisions
strictly carried out
It is simply idle to talk about the
political influence of the whisky
dealers aud then support a law that
will wield greater power, in a politi
cal sense, than the most sanguine
dreams of the liquor nun ever con-
wived of. Once established it will
entrench itself so iirmly that noth
iug short cf a pulituml revolution
will drive it from its strongholds,
and the good, but sadly mistaken
people who arc sustaining it, will,
when toe late to undo the mischief
it will be instrumental iu accom
plishing, awake to a painful realiza
tion of the injury they huye done
the work of temperance reform. Iu
writing the above we wish most em
phatically to say that we regard the
question ue a purely moral one and
as such entirely outside of the do
main of politics, and Have spoken of
is pst as we would do if w« were in
enure sympathy 51 ith the ,
.State aUmiuistration.
\Vithout in the jeast questioning
the motives of the majority
Convict Labor.
It is getting to be a very serious
problem as to the best method of
zing the labor of conviets sous
to make them ear', at- least a part of
the money expended for their safe
keeping. Just as seen as the State
attempts to put convict labor to semo
practical use there is a great cry
nmde against it on the plea that free
labor is injured thereby, and that
the workingman is seriously dam
aged. There is really, if
viewed fairly, very little ground fer
this complaint for the simple reason
that the percentage of convict as
compared with free labor is so small
as would make it impossible for any
perceptible damage to accrue from
the employment of the convicts in
some profitable way. Putting them
out under contract is so manifestly
cruel that it should be stopped just
as soon as some practicable plan can
be devised to keep them within the
wall.s of the penitentiary.
A suggestion, which has received
some attention, is that they Ue util
ized to drain the rich alluvial l ands
of the State so that they can be cul
tivated. The impracticability of
this proposition will easily be seen
when it is borne iu mind that the
owners of those lauds are not able to
pay the expense of their drainage,
and they can hardly expect it bo be
done at the public expense, yet, if
we mistake not, this is what 1
been suggested by those who have
written on the subject, giving an the
reason therefor that it would adc,
very largely to the productive ca
pacity of our low lands. DivitSted
of its plausibility, this proposition is
a very paternal one aud would give
rise not only to a great deal of dis
sentiou, but open the door to a gooi
deal of abuse besides.
We are of the opinion that the
beet solutiou of the whole problem
Would be for the State to tUUize the
ennvieU in some line of manufac'
hiring that would not require much
skilled labor or involve the purchase
of very expensive machinery:
