The followini is an extract from a most remarkable editorial of the Chur leston Chronicle, of a late date. The Ch"ronicle is one of the most out-and out radical papers iu the State. It is always spittingi mud and fire into the faces of the democrats, and never sees anything good in them or their priaci ples, and rarely ever ftids anything objectionable in the acts of its own party. So you may bet your bottom dollar, when the Chronicle admits the existence of corruption in the republi can ranks and cries for reform, that there is sore need for reform, and-we were about to say-some truth in th repeated cries among republicans for it. We wish wo could put faith in its integrity, since "faith is the sub3tance of thinLs hoped for." But here are the words of the Chronicle; read them and be astoni.,hed: "'There is -danger ahead of us in South Carolina 1 It will not come in the shape of a Temperance phantom; but it is already looning up in the shape of charges of excessive t-axation, and of rottenness ia the ranks of the Republican Party. It will not do for us to turn a deaf ear to the mutter igs of the coming storn, for the sig nals have been raised at Washington by the Tax-payers' Convention moe uiorialists, and we have learned how unscrupulous they will be in -effect ing whatever purposes they may have in -iecw. We must look well to the '-Ship of State" and keep a firm hand upon the helm, else when the storm does come we will be ruthlessly driven out upon the rocks. Whatever meu there may be amongst us who by their past history-have cast a stez upon the Party should be Torc-:d to '-take a back seat" that others who are known to be,.or supposed to be, hoow-t shall ttke their places. No stone .abould be left unturned to eff.et a thorough re formation of all thet is wrong that the stigma now restinig upon the Party shall he removed. It is by this course, and this cours.e alone, that we can out ride the coming storm and bring the -Ship of State" into the safe harbor of 1epublican Victory :" Regulating~ the Sale of iJquor. As a matter of .both interest anid importance to o;ur readers we will note some of the pr3.visionis of the act to. regulate thme sale of intoxicating i quors. We will publish the entire act in our next issueL. After pre s-ribigr the manner and by whom lieees are to be gr.uzted. it goes on to say that it shall be a misdemeanor for any one to give, sell. or otherwise dispose of intoxieating liquors, as a beverage, to a person of known inmtemn perate habits, or to one drunk or~ in toxie:ted, or to a minor or- insane per son. Any one convicted of violating this provision will be fined not less than ten dollars, nor more than one hudred dollars. or imprisoned fro tm ten to thirty days. Further-, any member of the family or guardianm of the above named persons to whom it is unlawful to give or sell intoxicating drinks, may, after giving notice to the seller, in case he violates the law with in three months after notifie-ntion, bring a civil action against him for dsmages to be assessed by a jury, and for which the seller would be liable on his bond .as well as his property. If a person is found drunk or gre-atly in, toxicated on the street or at a public place he will be liable to fine and imprisonment; and the person who sells liquor which is drunk and pro duces intoxication on the preim.es of the seller, is liable to a civil action for $5 by the wife, parent, child or guamr dian of such porson. in addition to civil action 'or damnages, but thu it~ must be instituted within ten days after the comiissin of the offense Aoter proviin of the law makes the proprietor or keeper of a bar-room an aider and abettor in any riot or breach of the peace that may occur at or within his bar-room. .nd liable to be prosecuted and punished as such. In order to glew himself the bar-keeper < would have to show that the pra engaged in the riot or breach of the peace was not intoxicated by liquor sold on his premises-. This is the strictest license law wei have ever had in this State, and it is t v-ery probable is the beginning of al: stricter to come. We hope to see theL ay when the prices for licenses annd manhe elyfr a violation of this~ law wMil be sogreat that it would be nlz irdous for a man to en-ge in the iniquitous traffic ; -r better still. when the sale of iutoxi;ting driuks toany body by anybody, at any time, or place, or in any quantity. except a: medicine, shall be a felovy. and punished -s .!ueh. The time has come when . -hiu muiZt be dowe to prevtent intenspcrate drinking. This fact is patent to eveiy one whose judgue.lt is n.'I w:.rpPd by the disease itslf. It may be pos.ible that a prohibitory l:tw is not th-e thing to do it, and indeed it is .;aid, with what truth we d0 not know, that in Massachusetts under the prohibitory law, as much liquor is consumed as before, but we would like to s-e it tried in this State, not as a dead law as in Masachusetts, bu: as one zealvusly guarded and vigorously executed. Many good meu question the right of the State to pass such a law. But to our mind the right is unluestiL1a ble. If a rank, puisonou vegetation grew on a certain spot, and meu by some strange infatuation greedily pur chased it from the owner, to devour it and dic or become crazy, however lucrative the trafie, and however free the buyers, and however valid the title under which it is possessed, it secms to us that the State would justly previit its sale in any way practicable. If this be so, the resem blance between this and the sale ot whiskey is close enough to make pre %eutioun of the latter equally ineum bent on the State. If a manufacturing ustablishineut were put up in New%berry, and diseases were produced by the dissemination ot its miIa.;a, ;dl ~ood peolde would call it a nuisance and endeavor to have it abated by Law. But here is an establishment for the sa!, of liquor which is spreading disease and death. and yet forsooth, there are good men who think it cannot. be legally cl.sed. We have anl ordinance in our town to punish persons for itudecent exposures on the street. and men call it good, yet, whiskey sellinu strikes at the very foundation of m1or:dlity and few can see a legal remedy. ltcinsistency is not.a jewel by any means. But we are wandering front the object of this article. Columbia Board or Trade Me morial. The Columbia Board of Trade, at a meeting held on the 13th, adopted the memorial copied below, which was en dorsed by ninety of the merchants of that city, and sent on to the chairman of the Sub.Cummnittee on the Judiciary in Washington. The memorial covers the various grounds of coumplaint in a plain, coneise manner, and it shows that it was prepaxred by those who atre capable of judging whether there be reason for asking and expecting aid from Congress or not: CoLx.uMI, S.

Resid ing at the capital ef the State of South Carolina, e!xgagedl ini meireaultile puir suits, and comxposed of that class of citizens whIose occupationl brings us in constant con tact with nien of all shades of politics, we hold the posi ion of neutrals between the old re gime amid thle present State (Govern men~it of Sou th Carolina. We arc witnesses of the fact that taxation is enormously increased; that thle Xtate debt is inercasedl to all extent be. vond tile ability of the tax-payers to pay the intterest; that proper.ty is as sessed and taxes levied omi valuations muchel beyond thle cash value of the property, anid in direct conflict with the Constitution of the State; thlat cominAiationls atre foruiedJ by which a largre amounmt of the taxes, wrung from the hard earnings of an imipover ished people, are only used to enrich the few at tile expense of the many. We are witnesses of the fact, that members of the Legislature (of South Croina, and others conneilcted with the State Government oin snm:dl salaries. without any other ostentsible employ ment or means of earning mney, have beoue wealthy, drive fine equipages, and spend niainy thousandlLl per annum, whib can nrt be shiown to be acquiirod by their legitimaIte occupations.

The Star of Her Destiny is now rising, and we hope to see it continue to rise uptil it reaches the very zenith of its 'lory, when all shall be peace, quiet and perfect harmony, and when the beautiful South shall be the most prosperous land upon which the rays of the sun rest. All antagonisis must be laid aside. The Olive Branch must be in the hand of every idi vidual. The watehword must be 1-0.wAIm." Streaws must be made to turn spindles, run looms and drive every conceivable kind of machinery. Improvement must be eugraven upon every undertaking. Industry must ovarcome iud,_leuce. Idleness must engage employment. When such is the ease, then must the South reap a most grand and glorious independence. She is now dependent upou a distant market for almost every mzanufactured article. even sends to the North for her shoe pegs.
