The Congressional District bo represents ia in tbo upper part of Georgia, where ihn Democratic party ia largely in the asoendant?tbo white population being predominant. But the whole State has gone Democratic, in apite of the artfal management of the Radical*. Out of eeren members of Congress, the Democrats bare elected flee, and, it is supposed, at least two-thirds of the Legislature. South Carolina ia surrounded by Democratic States.? North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, ere strong in their anti-radical majortics. Lousiana, Arkansas and this State, ere the onty States of the South and Southwest left under Badical rule by recent eleotions. Mississippi has had no election of Into. It is to bo heped that the failure of tho President in attempting to sustain tbo pro eeriptire ring of the Republican party in Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee end Georgia, will teach the administration a wholesome lesson, and that tbey will learn that justice and magnanimity are virtues better calculated to conciliate the South than all the proscriptive measures that can be devised. The people of the United States of tho lie* publican party, are more advanced in liberal and fr?e Republican principles than many of the politicians; but it is encouraging to soo so many members of Congress, of that party, now taking the side of liberality, and favor* ing the removal of all disabilities. They will gain more than they will loso in party strength by such a course, and relievo thoir party from the position of persecutors of tho fallen; a position that all virtuous and en* lightened men of every nation havo con* demned, and which readers every party that perseveres in such a course, odious in history. Gen. Grant must see and realize this fact, and relieve himself of bad counsels. Wo expect him to return to the magnanimous course he adopted at General Lkk's surrender, which was then hailed as tho dictate of a noble nature; that nature, wo hopo, can hardly bo entirely extirpated yet by bitter politicihns. The South Carolina Legislature. This bedy is to reassemble to-morrow, January 6th. The most terrible power is held by it over the properly and rights of the people; reform was promised hy the Republican*, hut we hear of the creation of new salaries and the threat to tax all property nine mills on the dollar for the State, instead of the tax of 6 mills of la&t year, and as yet no movement to reduce the oner ous and unnecessary number of county officers. One lax collector for each county, as J A u i *. - * ' iu 7i uaj o, n uuiu uc rnuugn, wiuiuui Assessors or Auditor* ; give him a moderate salary, and he will do the work. The sala ries or pay of School Commissioners, and Coanly Commissioners, ought to be largely reduced, and the pay of every officer cut down to moderate limits, and the sal -ried clerks of different public officers, heretofore an unkuown expense, should be dispensed with. Let the Legislature show that their object is the public interest, and not to plunder the people, to make places and salaries for hungry party men. Let the Leg. islature reduce the costs of suits, and restore tho old law of appea's to the Supreme Court, so that poor men may get the benefit of the highest tribunal in the State. This last Legislature, which has assumed to be the friend of the common people, have practically denied them in the protection of law by their costs; and law compelling security to psy a judgment before appeals can be taken, and then compelling the payment of sixty dollar* in the Appeal Court. Let the Legislature also give the right of appevl without rom^e/faty pat ties t? print brief*, as was done by the Legislature of 1865, If the Legislature will also pnas Mr. Wilkks bill, to repeal the act of 1866-, on the usuary laws, and restore the old law, we would at once have better times. The Legislature will do these things unless controlled by monied men and by office scekeis.

Two liUlo bfjri, jut large enough to plow, who wore going to eehool in the City of GreenrUle, rmiaed to apend their Saturdays in working, Mnd of idling awajr their time in aenntoriog about the stroots. They went out to their father'a farm, three mllea from town, and aeleeted patohee of ground, which the tenants thought too poor to cultivate. In the rprtng of laat year, they sowed some of these little patches in oats, which yrear finely, aa the season suited this crop. Then tbey hauled several loads of manure and spread over other patches for corn. Tbey were late in commencing, and bad to plant their corn and peas before breaking np the ground. But every Saturday tbey went out and plowed all day. The crop was worked well, and tbey mado thirty busbcU of corn, fourteen bushels of peas, which tbey picked themselves, twelve hundred bundles of fodder, which tbey pulled in the hottest weather we ever had, and eightyfour dosen of oatj, besides a pretty good crop , of watermellons. The corn at one dollar per busbol, is $30 ; peas, at one dollar and fifty cents per bushel, is $21; the fodder, at one uuuur nnu uuj teins por nunurea, 10 f is, and 1 the oats, at 20 cants per dosen, is (16.80, makes the nice little sum of (85.80. The watcrmelluns wero eaten or given away.? They have not yet sold their corn, peas and fodder, but hold on for a bettor market Yn the spring and summor. So much encouraged wore they by their crop, that they sowed and ptowod in during the past fall, four bushels of wheat, after manuring their patches pretty well with barn-yard manure, scraped up and hauled out by] themselves. They intend to enlarge their corn crop the present year, and are going to oloan up, during tho winter sun* dry brier patches and nooks of old fields.? How well it would be for other boys to follow their cxamplo. It is said that every boy is brought up to ?pend money, or make money, and that tho oue will give as much pleasuro as tho other. Tbero is, however, a wido difference botwoen theso two pleasures in their rosuits. The ono is apt to make a loa'or and vngabond, and tho other a useful and respectable citizen. Labor in the field is no longer disreputable to the educated and refined, but idloness is, and leads to want, misery and vioo. Dreadful Fire in Richmond, and other places. We give on our outside the full particulars of the burning of the SpoUwood Hotel, and other property, in Richmond, which occurred on Sunday morning, December 25th. The loss of life on the occasion was horrible, and is another dark spot in the historj of the city. A fire occurred at Jacksouville.Fln., on lite evening of the 191 h ult, destroying pioper ty amounting in value to $-250,000. The office of the Union newspaper, among olh? er property, was destroyed. A fire elso occurred, about the same daie, ??. Harrisonburg, Va., in which the loss was $100,000. Fires, losses less, have occurred in other places. - - ? Death of Capt. George Sutler.

Wo will mention the names of Miss Mainie flood, Miss Emma Ambler, Miss Hugie Cox, Miss Mamie Anderson, and Miss Hannah Heaborn?who received the applause of the audience for their success in personating their respective characters.? Among the males who were conspicuous for thoir good performance, were Masters Thomas floest, Mays Cleveland, Belton Ambler, ThosMorton, Arthur floodwin, and Thos.

To the Voters of Greenville ?L County, play perhaps requires llmt the card issued by Mr. W. T. Shumate should be replied to. In the first place, I have to say that 1 bad nothing to do with the call thfi rtinvunlimi ni" in ita I organization, or action, when assembled. I was simply a candidate for the nomination. If Mr. Shumate or his friends had thought there was anything wrong, the objection should have been made at the tiino, and not after ho had been defeated. Will any one be lieve that if Mr. Shumate had been nominated by the Convention is organized, that be would bave objected to its action? If I had been defeated, I would most certainly bave submitted and no disturbance would ever bave accurred in our rauks from my action. If I should decline to run, or suffer myself to be crowded out, under this stato of things, I should bo recreant alike to duty and to friends. If tho result ol this contest Bhould bo a victory for the opposing party in our County, the responsibility will not be upon me or my friends. I have the highest regard for the gentlemen who sign the call upon Mr. Shumate, but I deny that they had any authority ior saying in tncir call M that the Convention was illegal and unauthorized and that the Candidate nominated is not acceptable to the majority of the voters of Greenville County." I here refer to the entire proceedings of the Convention, signed by the Chairman and Sccrotary, l/C^utiou I tUn J a know who were the actors in this Convention. I am proud that I have the honor of being endorsed by such a list ot honorable inen, and I teel that their names are a full guarantee that no injustice was done or attempted to any one. and that the honor and best interests of the people, were their only motives in what they did.

It is like saying that an article which the world needs should be hid in a corner? ' that benefits snd hless'ngs may be too . widely diffused?that the means of protecting and restoring health should he a close > monopoly, and not acce?sthle to all. The argument is bad. It is worse than that; it is inhuman Suppose Hosteller's Hiotnseh ntt? .r. -i?-a.

Instead of curing snd invigora' ling millions, the goo i effects of ths prep aril ion wo ild have b e-i confined to a J c-'injiara'ive few. There is the highest as moiii)- tor Haying that light should not bo hid under a husbel ; that whatever 1* excellent should be placed as a oily on a hill, where all men can lake c 'irniz.ti.ee of it.? It it upon this principle that the Btttere have beei* advertised and continue to It advertised in every newspaper of any promineooe in the western hemisphere, and that the spontaneous lesliin nials in itn favor have been translated into all written languages. Thousands enjoy perfect health to-day who w ?uld he languishing on beds ?i sickness if the newspapers had not *pre*d the truth teith regard to thii unequal invig* orant and corrective far and wide. 8nppo?e profit Jbis been r?apel from this publicity, js that any argument against, it) If the public health has been pr?'t<*cted ; If lives have been savel;il the leeb'e have been J strengthened and the rb-k restored, great 1) good ha* been accomplithed: and wbo so menu us to giudge to exertions thus directed their fair reward f 33?4 Common Sence Compressed. IT ia difficult to (give in n doten line* the reasons why TARRANT'S KRLTZRR APE1 KIKNT should be preferred na ? corrective nnd alterative to every other medicine in use.
