PODRIDA. SP?at Our Editors Say. Our Courts. Anderson Intelligencer. Jg%Our Courts are human institutions, aad ef course a popular man or an infl eutial one is more likely to secure a fa view of bis case than an un pop? er unknown maa -could do. This ought Bot to be so, but it is simply hu ^^it??lBatute? and is. the same everywhere te?-2?orth,South, East or West. It is ^^OMtl^f?ss true that in cases of homicide, ^pi^el^^BuaUy follow an altercation cr ^ bad bjood. that there is a strong tend ?-?ioy for white men to sympathize wi h white men as far as. circumstances will t, and human nature sometimes ?wries men too far in this direction. wealthy do obtain too much immu? nity io oar Courts in cases of homicide^ It iee ms impossible entirely to overcome the:power of money. It is not corrupt? ly used except, perhaps, in rare ?nstao '?<&a?and. then only upon a stray witness suborn testimony, or some venal man ?;who happens to get drawn upon a jory i$ohang a Jury, The corrupt use of iawneylsBot the evil to be complained o?;*r: Its'legit?mate use affords often too ample protection to criminals. It pro? cures thc ablest lawyers to defend the ^accused; It gives him friends through ?p?t this neighborhood who are liable to: 1 be dra wa opon the jury, and insensibly helps him in the trial. It admits him b*i?? 8?4 enables him to work up his defense, as he could not do if he were confined io jail ; These are powerful and have sa ved many a black murderer from , the gallows but incidents to the human en force of human laws.

These things ?ashow that while the administration of ^???&isw hr this State is by no means pcrfopVi ^cttbat h has improved over ?/ former times, and instead of a general ^^a^ npjnst?fiable wholesale denunciation of our Courts, the colored clergymen could do more by a temperate presenta? ron to the public of the features of! . particular easejpwhere the imperfections ;/.- of human na-tare triumph over the ends of justice. The School and the State. Christian Neighbor. Wheo Education and the State are separated from each- other-when the Stete has no more to do with education white or colored, rich or poor, than it his with furnishing them with shoes, . clothing and bats,-then will the per? plexing and unsettled question of 'Edu? cation* rest ou a proper and solid foun? dation. When this shall have been doue, the way will be open for building j sp educational establishments on a just, j ?quitable and permanent basis. Al- j though, according to the present syp- j tera some receive the benefit of the 'free' j tuition who paid tax, thus receiviug j something, bat it is not so, and cannot j be so, by all. The system is unequal, j unjust, costly, and far short of justify? ing results. The amount of tax paid, compared with the benefit received by the tax payers is unequal-some receiv? ing more, some less, that is correspond - ent, and some who may pay ktrge tax receiving no benefit at all. Admitting that all this is, with tax? payers? inseparable from the present system, the professed object o?; 'free' tuition-the benefit of the poor-is at? tained io quite a limited and scant meas? ure. If the 'free* tuition fund were applied exclusively and economically to the benefit of the poor, the system would be relieved of one prime objec? tionable feature. But some rich or able come in and get their sfr^-^of a feast prepared professedly for ^ poor.' Andmore; a largely excessl Propor? tion of the *free* tuition is app iriated in auch a way as to make it next to impracticable for any besides the rich or the able to get any benefit from such appropriation. This reference is to thc South Carolina College. Such inequal? ity and injustice are inseparable from the present arrangement. It is in place to inquire what better system can take the place of that which now obtains? Answer, respectfully: Relegate the entire matter of education io individual, family, philanthropic ana corporation enterprise and effort, the same as is done with procuriog shoes, clothing, hate., hominy aud heap? ing up of treasure. Thus will the way he opeo for boys and girls of themselves to make something of themselves and feel justly their independence. And occasion may not be wau tin g among 'others of the 'poor* for practical phil? anthropy by those who would help the poor at their own cost. The common aud the poor people of the State have had quite enough of theoretical, rostrum and legislative philanthropy at the cost of other people. Further: Why should Bot a rich or able family educate their own children at their own cost, the ?urne as they feed and clothe them at their own expense? What would such Z parents and SOBS and daughters say if it were made public that their clothing, &c, were obtained at the expense of the State, supposing such to be a fact ? Still further : What an inviting field would be opened to the churches and to voluntary corporations to establish, [.schools, acad?mies and colleges. Theo, if philanthorptsts, churches and corpora? tions so choose, they can give aid to the worthy poor. and such aid will be enti? tled to be called 'free* io sense of truth, equity and charity. Newberry Niiez and Herald. < The negro preachers of Charleston, incited likely to their efforts by the example of the press, have been tack? ling the question of lawlessness in the State, and the administration of justice. The burden of their sermons was that the negro is oppressed and mistreated. .The truth of the matter is that most of the cases of lawlessness which have re? cently excited so much comment have involved white people entirely. The Ferguson case in Abbeville, the Cul breath case and the Jon<$ case io Edge field are instances. If there is auy laxness or remissness in the adminis? tration of justice it affects whites and blacks alike. We believe that io the vast majority of cases the negro has as fair a chance in the courts, whether be be plaintiff or* defendant, as a white man. If the negro preachers of Charleston expect auy good to come of such preaching as that with which they entertained their hearers last Sunday they are mistaken. They, and all other preachers had better preach religion, pure and undefiled, and let politics and law alone. The Baptist Convention. The State Convention of the Bap? tists of South Carolina, met in Green? ville on Nov. 19th, and upon a call of the associations and churches entitled to representation it was found that neatly all of them had delegates on the floor, the only associations not re? presented being Bethel, Carolina, Fork, Twelve-Mile River and Wacca- j maw. After the appointment of a com? mittee on order of exercises the re? port of the Executive Board of j the Convention was called for and the same was read by the Kev. R. II. Griffith, secretary of the board. The report begins by deploring the death of Rev. L. Broadus, one of its mem? bers, and consists in the main of a long array of information and statis? tics as to the progress and conditiou of missionary work in the State, to? gether with au account of the gratui? tous distribution of the Scriptures, as a part of the missionary work of the past year. The report is an able and con eise showing of the work of the board inch, on account of the short crops gpt year had to be tempered with ;e on the part of the manage the expenditure of funds disposal for State mis board found it niue the j Har _ and eucourS^ F shows the employment of forty missionaries in twenty-five coun? ties in the State and recommends an extension of the missionary woik into fields not now occupied. The fol? lowing is aa aggregate of the cond\ ttou and work of STATE DISSIONS for the past year : Number of static ns, 130 ; miles travelled, 32,507 ; -days engaged, 3,140 ; sermons prea';b<fd, 1,8S4 ; prayer meetings, 609 .; reli? gious visits, 2,351; conversions, 335 ; baptisms 252 : ch archer. organ? ized, 4 ; churches built, 8 ; Sunday Schools organized, 49 : Sunday School addreses, 21T ; adresses on missions, SOS ; addressee on other subjects, 163 ; womauY. missionary societies, 18 ; value of Scriptures distributed, $67.10 ; ra? sed on field for .State missions, ?903.25; for home missions $84.78 ; fer foreign mis? sions, ?179.23; for church building, $1,417.OS, for Furo\an University; $128,11; for Theological Seminary, ?24 45. The sum. t.*tal of collections for State missions In all the cuurch?s of the State, in^lteiiug the State mis? sions'' collections reported ab .vc, was not contained io ?he report of the rea? son that several associations which have but recent jy adjourned have not yet reported their collection to the board, but a? e expected to do so dur? ing the sitl'ng of the Convention. A discussion which ensued on the sub? ject deve'.oped the information that up to thc p.esent time, without the col ; lections for this purpose yet to be I hantle? in, the collections amount to $7,915.S4. At the session to-night the church "WHS packed with delegates and visi j tors. The well trained choir of the j church, under the leadership of Prof. j DeCamps, principal of the Conserva? tory of Mnsic, rendered excellent music. The Convention Kemi? n by j the Kev. G. B. Moore, of Dallington, from the Eighth verse of the Third chapter of Ephesians, was a most thorough, eloquent and masterly dis? course ou the riches of Christ, and the strength and power of Christianity. FRIDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. GREENVILLE, November 20.-The Baptist State Convention was diligen? tly at work to-day willi increased numbers of delegates. Thc report on woman's mission societies was dis? cussed and adopted. The report shows the organization of twenty three new societies during thc p-ist year and the collection and disburse? ment for missionary purposes of over tweuty-eight hundred dollars. There are one hundred and ?fty-six societies in the State. The Convention listen? ed to an able address by Br. Bitting, of the American Bible Society on the distribution of the Scriptures. The report on the Greenville Female Col? lege shows a most prosperous condi? tion of that institution. The report on the Furman University shows that institution to be in a poor financial condition, but tue trustees and the Convention took steps look? ing to its permanent endowment. The trustees elected thc Rev. R. H. Griffith financial agent of the Univer? sity. The Convention ratified the action of the trustees amid mach en? thusiasm, and commended Br. Grif? fith and the cause to the people of the State. Al! Baptists in the State will go actively to work to increase the endowment fund sui?icienily to place the University on a solid basis as a matter of first importance to the denomination. The report on foreign missions engages the Convention to? night. Able addresses ou foreign missions were delivcredlfy the Rev. Messrs. E. J. Forrester of Darling? ton, tl. Wm. Joi>es of Richmond, and B F. Gor??v^ Edgefi?ld. The re I port shows the collection for the year j to be $9,SOO. South karolina is em? phatically declared by Dr. Jones to be the banner State in foreign mis? sionary contributions, A handsome sum was raised to night for that pur? pose. New Advertisements.
