A tv're*; rresa*-sir. noou. If there is one thing which Americans .claim lis distinguishing the United States i above all civilized nations it is the free1-doinoC.tho press. Other countries may have lighter taxes, and purer parliaments mid less corruptible officials, but the pa trroic American is ready at any moment -to maintain that in this country the public press enjoys more freedom than anywhere else under the sun. Strong assertions are too commonly only half-truths, and if the above oft-repeated and very strong assertion Is IMfcely scrutinized, it wiilibe discovered to be true only to a certain extent. It certainly is true that I if freedom of the press means utmost -liberty and license in criticising, censuring, and abusing ail officials, leaders, and ^ newspapers of the opposite political party, then no other country enjoys it so .much or carries it so far into practicc. If freedom of the press consists in a free fight between democratic organs on the one hand and republican on the other, we aro safe in saying that in no other country has it been ?o unbridled. The c opposing organs beggar the copious voI cabularv of abuse in their attacks upon each other, and woo bo to all offlcla^, even those in the highest places; newspapers of the party not in power pour incessantly vials of wrath on their devoted Jieads. Their every action is misconstrued, the;r every word misinterpreted. It seems to be considered that no good ttliiug can come out of the opposition. At first sight, this seems to prove the complete freedom of the press; but let any journal presumo to point out the faults of the public men of its own party, and its editor will soon discover how limited is the range of his freedom in that direction. He is at liberty to discuss amy measure provided always that he approves every man and measure of his own party and condemns the opposition. But if ho ventures to mm at the luinuiuty of men of his own party, tliey turn again and rend him; they heap all man. nerof hard names upon him and impute to him all manner of evil motives. This peculiarity in our press has been made conspicuous during the sessions ot the late legislature. Never before did a General Assembly so much and ho frequently avail itself ot the privilege of I rising to a question of privilege. Unlucky was the journal that dared to lift - its voice against any man or measure in that historical assembly. The News ami Courier, the Rcyintcr, and "other small fry" were brought as culprits before the -i At.,. ?i./v DVI1UU* IIUU lilt* HUU5C IU1 iUU llCilll/U.-3 1/11 fence of having discussed in a legitimate manner the acts of certain of the members thereof. As a consequence the "small fry" were silent, or if they uttered a sound, it was one of unqualified and and ever acceptable prnise. Yet all the while their columns were tilled with violent denunciations of radicals and exposures of radical frauds, just as if it was of any use to throw stones at a dead dog. Even when Northern journals were full Of what purported to be disclosures of questionable acts of some of our public men, wo believe tho Presv and Bauner wa* the only paper in the State that published the articles. The majority of our public men seem to think themselves above criticism and iueapablo of making mistakes: that they enter the political arena completely trained and experienced, and do not need to be licked into shape like young bears. They will brook no references to their words and deeds unless they are eulogistic. So sensitive are they and thinKkinned, they will not allow a man to j crook his finger or cotfto within a yard of their tdes. All criticism they call perr sonal attack, all censure they pronounce violent abuse. They seem to suffer from a constant appreliensiveness and morbid sensitiveness as to their character. We have been "forced" into this train of thought by a letter in our columns this * morning from Mr. Win. Hood of Due . West. The late General Assembly, is a thing of the past, but its ruling passion seems to be strong in death. Mr. Hood again rises fo explain. In our issue of tl>o 97th lilt we rfifinrred to a letter of his 'wo published then treatingjof the l>ond question. We excused ourselves from p discussing the matter as it had been remitted to a court of adjudication. We gave our reasons for this course and published the letter "without comment.'' What reference we made to Mr. Hood was complimentary ; and yet, although he says "very few things are more distasteful" to htm "than a newspaper wranirle." he has pleased to find himself. "forccd" to engage in onethat is, if we will bo so kind as to .engage in a "wrangle" with him, for it takes two to make a "newspaper wrangle." We are! disposed to *>cfrieud Mr. Hood to a reasonable extent, but really wo cannot oblige him so much as to quarrel with him. Wo regret his Donnybrook Fair attitude of pugnacity and respectfully decline his invitation to tread on the tail of his coat. It would be painful to us and not ploaaant to him to reply at length to his letter. Wo should be "forced" to re, jfor to bis violent, abusive language, so (unbocoming In an instructor of youth. If wo magnanimously wore to pass by his ungenerous and so far as we are concerned unfounded complalntjthat the boud question wax "dealt with partially," we should be "forced" to exposoliis trick of "partially" quoting (which is truly iniscjuostiflg) our word? ; and that would be place the Professor in a most undignijjed and ridiculous position before the eyes of tho Pue West students. And it jvould not be fair to "thoso who trusted him with their interests" to show that this 'Representative of the county" i? a nubject of that peculiar mental delusion which make* a man suppose that everybody is persecuting him. We have heard of an old woman with a diseased inind who chargoda town council with having put up an engine to fill her bouse with the fumes of sulphur aud brimstone, said engine was really a public well of pure water. Wo fear there are several such old women of both sexes in Abbeville county, whoso diseased minds cause ?hem to misunderstand and and misappropriate our words. Mr. Hood is not alone if) Imagining that harmless articles jind paragraph* iu the Press and Banner are intondo^ to be personally offensive. )le has "gratyi^oipjly made" himself believe thaf y.y caJJe^J )jlm a "malcontent' and other bad namps, If we described him we did it u^copsolously and unintentionally, an,d he ought not to calj attention to .the likeness. We are remind? pd of the fact that when Pickens described that cdjoutJ character, the schoolmaster flqueora, a score of sensitive schoolmasters wro^e indignant letters to the novelist, each thinking himself the origI ml Squeers. Mr. Hood should not have pplied to himself expression* never in 1 cd for him- AVe arc sorry for him, anp | we ! ?Pity l>a<diftil men, who feel the pain I Of fancied scorn, and undeserved disclaim. i Ami boar the murks, upon a blushinc fact*. ; Of needless shame and self-Imposed disgrace. I The temptation iu great reply seriously ; and seriatim to all the unkind things Mr. | i Hood says of us. It would afford us?! I such is fallen man?a wicked pleasure to j i dip our pen in gall and reply to him in I i kind. But he is not only a Representa- j j tive of the County, he is also a Professor | j at Due West, and we do not think "a! j newspaper wrangle" should find its home j | in the academic groves of Erskine. I i The Fee Hill Lnw--Doubtful Econ- j oray. | We print this morning the text of the) I bill recently made law which regulates j and reduces?most emphatically reduces j ?the fees of certain officers. So far as it I refers to the "regulating" of "the costs! of Plaintiffs' and Defendants' Attorneys" the new law is perfectly innocuous, and i if it has any objectionable features, tlie1 lejral brotherhood will not grumble] thereat Hut we fail to see how any real j HAnAtnnlicfiA/l )iv Hiah unr ^UV/U ??H1 UU WVV'/4ll|/iw..w WfT ?..? r-. J tion which "regulates the costs and feosi of Clerks of Courts, Probate Judges, Trial Justices, and other officers." * No doubt it will reduce such costs and fees,! and may by doing .so commend itself in I the eyes of all them that think a penny saved is a penny gained?a fallacious pro-1 verb. To pay lifty cents instead of a] dollar is very commendable if you really j get for your fifty cents what your dollar j formerly brought you. liut there's the rub. By reducing the incomes of responsible officers, will 3-011 secure the services of thoroughly competent and trustworthy men? The office-seeker's name is legion and doubtless hundreds of men can easily be found who are willing and i think themselves competent to fill all these offices, liut will ii not be disoovor- j ed when too late that the cheaper man is j the dearer bargain,?that the penny saved is really two pennies lost? We need not comment on the law in detail, nor even refer specially to each of tho olllces. Suflice it to take for example the Probate Olfiee. The aim of oar Legislators has been to revive tho old law of IftdA Af that. t?mo wa lisirl two liw?r:ifiv#? l Dittoes, tho Commissioner in Equity unci t)io Ordinary. Now the work of tho two is almost entirely performed by the Probate J udge, at a salary not equal to onc| half the combined salaries. In 1840, estates were larger and more valuable than now. Markets ami rents were lower, and money had a greater purchasing power. Now the moderate income of a Probate J udge, (out of which he has to pay his clerk) is reduced?"regulated"? to one-half; and }-et he has to do as much and as responsible work. As for the poor Trial Justices?the new law will "regulate" them olf the face of tho earth. Was it neglect on the part of our legislators that made them leave out the com- j; missions on all money's received and I paid out by Sheriffs and Probate Judges, ?commissions on the settlement and distribution of estates? This is a very im i i 1? .1 puruuic \vur?w anu anuuiu uu autvjuaiviv paid for. The Gcnerul Assembly was no doub trying to be economical when it enacted this law. This praiseworthy motive actuated them in everything but what (touched their own daily pay. But we [ l'ear.that it will prove to be extravagant J economy. Public officers, from whom j we demand heavy bonds in proportion to their weight of responsibility, should be paid not simply us clerks for mere office work, but also as public fiduciaries for their security which they give as responsible men. The News and Courier. I In our advertising columns will be , j found an extended notice of our Charleston contemporary, the Neu-s and Courier, which we commend to the attention of our readers. That journal is well known to the people of Abbeville to be of a very . i liich orrW?r?Rnrmwl to 110110 in tho South era States. Xot long ago, the editor of one of tne moat influential daily newspapers in a neighboring State assured us that he considered the News and Courier the only really representative Southern paper, and that so far as its selection and arrangement of news were concerned it had no superior in the United States. Qf the hundred and odd exchanges that came to his office daily, the News and Courier was the most welcome. That was high praise from a disinterested man, and we think that the freshness, and independence of its editorial articles, as well as the admirable management of its news columns, fully justified it. It3 (editors and proprietors spare neither ! pains nor expense in their efforts to make it worthy to take the h'ghest p'-^e, and its reporters are ubiquitous. The News | and Courier report of our late Hampton meeting here was so full and admirable, we copied it entire in these columns. The acknowledged head of "the Fourth Estate" in South Carolina, Democratic to the heart and to its own hurt .sometimes, sound and safe in its opinions and fearless in uttering them, serving the State best by being its own master, the News and Courier should be in every homo in South Carolina. 9 i Attacks on Newspapcr8--Advice to f Correspondents. Correspondents who have unkind things to say concerning other newspaj pers will ploase send their communica! tions somewhere else and not to tho office of the J*ress and Banner. "We are neither a tale-bearer nor a go-between, and we have for years refusod to print any letter reflecting unkindly upon a neighboring journal. Our correspondents will surely agree with us that the manlier course for them to pursue is to send their strictures to the journal they condemn, and if its columns are closed against them, then only will wo publish the rejected communications as advertisements to bt> paid for at the usual rates. Tnnrnoli^u ll J*- - ? uu^uuiuj ujuh iiir uiucrH in nowise from that observed among gentle- ' men In ordinary life. We hope the foregoing will explain to one of our correspondent* why his communication did not appear in the Front and Banner of last week. Maxwell for a Second Term. At the last meeting of the Greenwood Township Democratic Club, Capt. J. T. Parks offered the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted. Whereas, the time has arrived when the Democratic party of Abbeville County should select its representatives for another campaign, and whereas, our present Senator, the Hon. J. C. Maxwell, combines all the qualities for that exalted position; therefore, be it resolved, 1st. That it is the duty of the Club to present to our fellow citizens of Abbeville county the claims of the Hon. J. C. Maxwell for re-election. 2d. That in him we recognize the high toned and fearless representative of the people's rights, one in whom there is no g-iile, and who while seeking the highest interests of the Democracy, scrupulously regards the interest of all irrespective of party alttiiation. 3d. That we hereby nominate the Hon. J. C. Maxwell for a second term as Senator of Abbeville county and pledge him our undivided support, McEvoy Aoai* Respited,?In consequencc of a communication from Judge Thomson, McKvoy has again beeu respited by the Governor until the 19th of April.

To the mi of the audience these two addresses gi abundant evidence of tlie valuable w< of the Club, and prepared them to apji eiate the address of Rev. R. 1).

I 1 prepared myself with paper and pen, the purpose of reporting us accurately I could what was said, but soon foil myself captivated by tho flowing sU the elegant diction, and the force oi' lustration given to impress the truth his subject, which the speaker said, v suggested by tlie remark of a friend t "our young men <io not aim hi enough." A suggestive theme, inv ving tho destiny of" the young, and fecting alikethc well-being of society, i State and the church. A mere sj-nop of the address would convey little of real merit. It was beautiful in conci tlon, rich in illustrations drawn from i cient and modern history, and from lit ature, science and art; in fact, tho wli address rovealcd a fund of resources the command of the speaker, and a pacity to wield them with power a effect, which, in the judgment of yt correspondent, is rarely met with.
