Ere we issue another paper, the Cubibtkas Season, with its festivities and delights, its rejoicings and pastimes, will have passed and gone, like many before it. We wish tor onr readers much happiness and satisfaction, and hope they may all live to see many more. To the young, we invoke especial merriment. To one and all, we say?A Happy Christmas and a Bright Newtear. We will enter the year 1871 with renewed hopes and expectations of success, and promise to Improve and make still more acceptable the Enterprise, as far as it lies in oar power, (for we know there remains mnch yet to do;) and if our patrons will pay np and pay in advance, oar greatest energies and pride will be gratified in placing the Enterprise very, very J high in the public esteem and pa- i tronage of the people of Green ville. i No Paper Next Week. In order to enable ourselves and Printers to enjoy a short relaxation, there will be no pa| er issued from this office next week. We will greet our readers on the 4lh Janu? ary, 1871. The Usury Question. The Board of Trade in Charleston hare become alarmed at the proposition to restore the old usury laws of this State ; in other words, the Board of Trade wish to hare South Carolina the only State in the Union that does not place restrictions on the interest of money.? The Charleston Courier and Jfete* are also out against the repeal of the Act of 1880, which was passed by the Legislature as an experi ment, under the plausible theory that unlimited interest would cause capital to flow into this State, and thus reduce, in the end, the interest on money. Four years hare elapsed and no such thing has been aocomplished' and never will be aocomplished. The Stato would be ruinod if capitalists abroad were ever high rates of intercat. Whilst Charleston apeculatora maj occasionally procure some money by giving over seven per cent., it cannot benefit the trade of the city, and never will, because tbe feverish deaire of exorbitant interest in tbe holders of money throughout the interior of the State, and their unwillingness to loan it, except at extravagant rates because tbe law allows it, prevents the investments of capital in productive pursuits, and represses tbe prosperity of the whole country. Charleston loses ten times as much by the injurious effects of the law upon the eoun" try at large, as she gains by the use of bor* rowed money at high interest in the hands of a few of her merchants and traders. Make tke State prosperous, and you make Charleston prosperous. Convert the State into a money shaving shop, as the act of 18611 bids to do, and you lessen produetion in agriculture, manufactures and mechanical pursuits. Can Charleston expect to compete with Savannah, Wilmington or Baltimore, or sell goods like those cities to our own merchants and people whilst she favors a law that indirectly compels her traders to pay 10, 16 or 20 per cent, for money, whilst the old usury laws discouraged such things in other (States ?? How is it in New York, also ? Can Charleston merchants borrow money at 15 per cent, or 10 per cent, and sell goods or carry on trade with tbe interior of this State on as good terms as New York, where money is only 5 or per cent.? So long as Charleston olamors for aa unlimited interest on money, it is a confession of her weakness and inferiority; and the existing ]aw is absoletely calculated to perpetuate that weakness and inferiority so long as it exists. Whoever is in a strait for money in Charlesinn And annlias in a uanUalai 1 a vnut a r Fluall, for a loan, will ba certainly charged more than seven per cent, for it, because the law allows it. So, too, in most cases in the country ; whereas, if the saine haiard to the lender existed in the State as before 1866, and which now exists in all other States, except South Carolina, for taking more than a fixed lawful per cent., it would be as easy, or easier, to borrow at the lawful per eeat., ia aaost oases, as at a higher rate. The law as it now stands, stimulates the spirit of extortion with most 1 aacn, and most men are fallible and liable to | the infirmity of taking some advantage of i their neighbors necessities in the way of a J made. Those who ate entirely above this, are ( seldom blessed with moch money to lend, ( though we have known a man to refuse more than seven per cent, in former days, when voluntarily offered on the payment of a debt, and whan there was no risk in receiving it. The fact is, Charleston has been the least prosperous in the last fonr years of any elty on the Atlantie coast, and if she manages to Ins duee the State to keep up the ratee of interest and continue to prevent money from being invested in productive pursuits, instead of shaving and speculative purposes, she will sontinue inferior; she will suffer with the k.u... ,.r ik. at.t- ...:t.i i. k..t idle in (be interior, to a greet extent, beceuee ut tbe demand for over eeven per cent. There Is e perpetual money atrike for higher wagea, end money hea thia advantage over the laborers atrike?It oan afford to wait longer for employment. The heceesities of labor drives it to succumb to reasonable wages?not so with the money. Money is a prodigious power, and is able to take care of itself, and wber the State guaran- ' tees at least eeven per eeat. on its use, it bee 1 done enough. But some may say, if you do ' not allow mooey unlimited interest, it will go : elsewhere out of the State. We have already I shown that it encounters in other States the I same laws against usury that we had before ' the Act of 1$66. No, money would be either loaned at home, or be invested in productive pursuits, if it was limited as formerly, at seven ' per cent. We have met seareely with any one lately, exoept a few who have funds to lend, that does not dosire tbe.old law of the I State restored. We venture to say, that with 0 T> i tmmmmmt?asmsansn???? -"w aw* w "' > - ~ Mek UNpttMU, ilM-toatki of the laborers ad prod seers at the gteti ifrM with us) hat although wo haow how (not to tho lafluaaoe of mono/, wo hope tho Legislature will royal ho Act of ISM, whleh won passed oooa after Iho war, Kid at chaos and ax peri moats of al| kinds, and thaa roeonstraot noa?| affairs la tho State as wall as othor things, on tho old basis whoro steads tbo othor States la tho Union. Tbo Charleston JVsws U too fast in assorting that.tho poopU in tbo Interior ot tbo Stato oppose tbo Bill of Col. Wilkbs, moral/ besauso tho editor of tbo Marion Star, in tho northeast corner, has expressed dissent. Wo hare not tho slightest doubt that, if the Bill was submitted to tbo popular rote, It would bo sustained, b/ an overwhelming majority of tho people la over/ Count/ ( and if tho present Legislature does not pass it, tbo people w ill take care to eleet men hereafter who will do it. Congressional Proceed logs. The bill of Geo. Butl.br for the removal ol disabilities, with ite numerous exceptions, bss been s good deal discussed In the House. A majority of the Republicans sod the Dsmoerste who hare spoken, both from the North sod South, eeera to favor a more complete emancipation bill than that of Butlbb> and there are some hopes that a complete removal of all disfranchisements may be passed by a two thirds vote. In the Senate, Carl Sbubx, Senator from Missouri, has Introduced a resolution declaring that all disabilities imposed by the 14lh Amendment ought to be removed, aa the neeeaslty for their eontlnoanee no longer exists. He supported his resolution in a very able speech, in whleh he discussed the late election campaign In Missouri, that resulted In the triamph of the Liberal Republicans, who favored the removal of disabilities. He itated, what is very apparent, that the people generally as well as the Republican ! press of the United States, are in favor aow t of general amnesty, and contended that It | would strengthen the Republican party, rather than injure it, which is undoubtedly true. Nothing definite has yet been dooe in the revenue business. We hope for a rsduotion of taxes that will be material, and would like to see every internal tax done away with, except the tax on incomes, whiuh 1 11-. ?? igc ir? bo mxioni to n?v? repealed. The greal^mass of the people, ninety nine out of every hundred, would be much relieved by a continuation of the inoome tax, and the rcleaee of many neeeeeariee of life from heavy burdena, yef the great eity journal*, representing the interestof millionairea and speculators, are allagaloet the tax, and the journals published in villages and email towns do not say any thing on the subject. Let monied men feel the burthen of taxation, and money will use its prodigious power in behalf of economy and retrenchment in the public expenses and against corruption. But whilst the millionaire only pays tax on his coffee and sugar and tobaeco and clothing, no mors than the small farmer or respectable mechanic, he will he indifferent to taxes ha does not feel, and which do not hurt him, whilst they oppress all persons of small or moderate means. An income tax rising or falling according to the expenditures of the Government, will prove a great preserver of good government and a protection to the common people. Blahop Lynch in Greenville. We do not remember that Greenville ever had a visit before from a Roman Catbollo Bishop till laat week, when Bishop Lynch arrived in our city. It is a pretty good sign of growth, when the servants of tha Pope turn their attention to a town. There ia a calculation of increasing population, and means being added to the place, and the spirit of ohurch propagandlsm, whi?h is the boast of the Papacy, soon seeks to plant the hflnnpr r%f iKaf L - ,m?? ?uui\ii| wucreever nuraoen attract. This is a free country, and we rejoice in religious liberty, a printed and eir. eulated Bible, and mnch religious teaching io various ehurche*. Whilst we regard Romanirm In its speeial characteristics, as baring been a great curse to mankind by its perversion of the plain and simple teach, ings ol Christ, Us intolerance to Jew and Oentile, Protestant Christians, and all who do not bow to the infallible I'ope, we hare no unkind feeling or want of respeet for sin cere indiridusls of that faith, be they bishops, priests, monk or layman. Bishop Lynch is a man of superior talents, and fine appearance. He preached in the large room of the Mansion House on Sanday afternoon a sermon of decided ability and interest and which was not of denomina. tiooal character ; he had a good eongregation. The Bishop had oonjented to leoture on Monday evening in the Court Honse, on the subject of the Eeccumenioal Council. The state of the weather disappointed. He left on the ears Tuesday morning, and is expeoted soon to repeat his visit to Greenville. Important Private Sale. Tbnch C. Cell, Esq. has purchased froui Dr. J. W. Ma can all, Agent, the handsome property in this City, known as the Elkobd house, located at the head of Main Street.

ErHvoaa?On Wednesday, Mr. Talbot, of Abbeville, introduced resolutions to re-organise and eontinoa the Land Commiaaion, and to make appropriatlona for the aame. Thia great outrage upon the people that haa cost the State already nearly a million of dollara, and which, ao far, from doing anybody any good, haa absolutely worked an injury upon those for whose pretended benefit It was instituted, will be continued. II le a popular hobby with the dominant party, and haa bean a auceeeeful watchwoid. A Committee haa been raiaed to investigate the tranaaetions of the Com. raiaaion from ita organisation to the present time, but the Commiraiouer, not yet being ia receipt of reporta from hia aubordinalea throngliout the Htate, cannot make hia re. port. The investigation will, therefore, be delayed. I am not auffieiently acquainted with the committee to aay whether they will connive at concealments or will drag every thing into light. I hear, however, there are too many influential persona im plicated to allow a full ventilation of facta. Yoor readers ara, no doubt, already Informed of the means and manner of arrest in tha mm of tha Lauren* priaonera. Thej war# brought here by tha military upon an indictment of conspiracy to interfere with tha election*; failing to get a true hill agalnat any of them in thia charge, they weie all discharged. The object of Co). Jo*eph Crew*, however, waa affected?the prisoner* were in Columbia, where he Wftntcd them?and at hie instigation, theJ were re- arretted upon <hirgN of murder end pat book in jail.

The high Sheriff elected to give precedence to the summons of the in vest i rstiec committee, and the priaoeere Wore gain r?i?rned to jail. Col. Crew* was again luattaiful and in high spirit*. Judge Vernoo being in the City on the 14th in obedieuce to a summons of the aforesaid committee, and the comm ittee learning that the prisoners would, on that day be brought before the Judge at half past one on writs of Kabta* corpus, harried up their report, and on the assembling of the House, mo red the suspension of the regular order, to give place to their report The only specification, was, that Judge Vernon had issued these writs informally, some of them without data, others without a petition, and others again in behalf of parties before they had been arrested.? Upon these grounds the resolutions to iu>peaeh Judge Vernon of high crimes and misdemeanors, were adopted by strietly a party rote. The resolutions of impeaoh-> men! were hurried through, that notice thereof might be served on the Judge in Ccurt, to suspend his functions, and arrest all further proceedings in the case of the prisoners. Judge Vernon, howerer, notwithstanding the notice, continued his in restlgallone, and discharged all thf prison, ers upon hail, after which they all disappeered fiom Columbia in the shortest pos. eible time. Here Col. Crews waa baffled for the first time ; he becomes enrsged, sod turns the rials of his wrath npon Judge Vernon. On the next day, the 16th. Col. Croa t introduced resolutions r? quiring Judge Vernon to appear before the bsr of the House, to show cause why attachment for contempt of the House should not issue against him, and was carried by a patty rots. On the 10th Judge Vernon, on account of aicknees, asked to appear through his attorneys, Messrs. Tope A Ilasoall, and was refuted. On the llih, lie appeared and obtained leave to hare bia defence read by Mr. Pope. It was an able and conslu* sive VMidiealion. There was some points as to facts inrolved, and the subject was again referred to a committee. What will be the verdict of tho House. I am at a loss to say. The taxes will bo higher next year than I this. In the absence of the rartv leaders, wo succeeded in atuendh g the Appropriation Bill by substituting 5 instead of 8 mill*, But the amendment was reconsidered, nod lost under party lash. Unless we can curtail the expenses of the Government, the taxes must necessarily be higher. We have now to provide lor the intetest on the B?n<ls issued in lieu of the bills ul the Bank of the State, and on the Land Commission debt, as well as for the premium on the gold require ad to pay interest on all ?>nr bonded debt.
