The Herald is in the highest respect a Fan ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising mediuma offers unrivalled ad vantages. "For Terms, see first page. The News and Courier En larged. The increasing business of the News & Courier has been wet by the pro prietors with an enlargement of their paper; in its present ample propor tions, and with the facilities at com mand, every demand of the public will be met. We are rejoiced at this evi dence of prosperity and continued popularity, and give Messrs. Riordan & Dawson the hope that in spite of the stringent times they will meet with large success. Buried at Last. The body of the late Vice-President of the United States has at last been put to his final rest at Natick, Mass., his native place. We were apprehen sive that the lifeless shell of the de parted statesman would have to make the tour of the United States before it would be allowed to mingle with its mother earth. Let the remains of oui departed be quietly conveyed to theii final resting place. The morbid curi osity to look at lifeless clay is a rem nant of barbarism. Let us recall his virtues, be strengthened in our reso lutions by his example, be imbued with his spirit-but move the soul less matter out of sight. The Speakership. "At the Imperial Hotel there was a crowd to witness the selling of pooh on the speakership. The highest price paid for the pools was fifty dollars The betting ran most curiously. Ran dali first choice, betting even for hiT against the field; Kerr was then sokc for fifty dollars as first choice agairsi the field; finally the field was sold foi fifty dollars, with only forty bid foi the first choice. The pool sellhng it to continue during the remainder o: the week, and candidates for clerk sergeant-at-arms and doorkeeper wil also come into the scramible." Shame ! shame ! Is there not blooi enough left in the cheeks of deceni people to raise a blush. We profess to be the pioneers of civilization. th< lighthouse keepers of the world, the highest development of spiritual hu inanity, and here we treat the repre sentatives of all this excellence as s< much horseflesh. We feed and trait and curry and blanket them, selec1 their jockeys and sweat them down t< the proper weight, and probably bribe a villain to cut the hame strings o: their reputation before the race. Ani all this is done publicly and unblush' ingly. It is enough to make a regula1 monkey Darwinian out of Cardioa: McCloskey. *The State Census. The science of taking the census has, no doubt, been improved since the days of Simon Suggs ; the diffi culties which then beset the unfortu nate who was delegated to count noses have been to a great extent removed. The result, however, seems to be as unreliable as before, if we are to judge from the just.completed State census, and compare ij with the United States census of 1870. The startling an nouncenmeut is made that the popula tion of South Carolina from 1870 tc 1875 has increased from 705,606 tc 923,447, an increase of 30 per cent.; whereas, from 1860 to 1870 it in creased but one per cent.; from 1850 to 1860 but 5.27 per cent. If it had been told us that the population had actually decreased, we would have found it but natural. For a long number of years before the war there has been a strong current of emigra tion from South Carolina to the South west ; thle want of means kept a good many at home immediately after the war, but from 1870 on, under the pressure of an almost insupportable government, and in some counties un der the fear of political prosecution, the emigration of the whites certainly equalled the emigration before the war. The influx of the carpet-bag element, settlers from the Northern States and foreign countries amounted to but a mere handful; and still, ac cording to this census the white popu lation has in five years increased 23 per cent., an increase in all the counties except Newberry, where we find a decrease of 2 per cent. As to the colored population there is like wise no accounting for an increase of 38 per cent. in five years. We re member that during that time they went in gangs to the West in search of better wages; it wats asserted that numbers had left the Stat3 from the fear of Ku Klux outrages; their inor tality has certainly increased since th war. The immigration of colore( adventurers, however formidable a teachers of misgovernment and plun der, has not been very considerable i numbers. The negroes have collecte in cities and towns and their preseno has been thus made more perceptible but we have no grounds for the belie that the colored population could sine 1870 have increased 150,000. W must, therefore, conclude that th enormous increase exists like th Turkish army and some of our newl laid out towns, mostly on paper, (n allusion to Seneca City). Many peop have found an explanation in the fa that the census-taker receives five cen for every name on the list. What an ir ducement to search hotel registers f< immigrants; the whole Berger Famil might be found residents in sever counties. What a temptation to mi take by dim candle light all the dc babies in .he house for genuine youu citizens, and to put them on the li: at a niekel apiece. We dare say the: are now more six months' old babi( in the State of South Carolina amon a given number of inhabitants tha in any other eountry of the glob What a glorious time old King Her< would have among the innocents ( Orangeburg, for instance, where tl colored population has increased 11 per cent., mostly babies; the Ia baby statement, however, is not officia Another cause may be imagined f the creation of this paper populatiot Nothing would be easier at a time election than to let each genuine vot represent one of those shadowy cit zens and vote as George Washingt< at the Court House, and as Hora Greeley (paper man) at Frog Levi without fear of detection. We bring 1 accusation against any one; we only e press the opinion of many well-inform< persons who doubt the correctness the census and who try to account f its incorrectness. Least of all do v allude to the census of this count for as we have said, the white popul tion has, according to the census, d creased from 7,457 to 7,141; the colk ed population has increased from 13 318 to 16,185, which we suppose Ibe nearly correct. It may be, ai is believed'by many that the Uniti States census of 1870 was too lov but how much too low the old ai how much too high the new who ei tell ? We are willing to compromi on an increase of a hundred thousan Editorial Review. Marion has five new street lamps. The people of Sumter arc not sati fled with the ordinance of their Toy Council levying the tax for yearly su plies. The store house and adjoinii dwelling of Mr. Isemnan, at Mario was burnt down on the 27th ult. I surance $9,000, mostly in Liverpo< London & Globe. Queen Victoria has sent to ti Brighton Aquarium a turtle from ti Island of Ascension weighing over S pounds. WTe didn't know the Qaeen lived that place. Maj. C. D. Melton died at his rei dence, in Columbia, on Saturday las after a protracted illness. He w born in Yorkville,' Dec. 10, 181 Major Melton was a distinguishi lawyer, and the Bar has lost one its brightest ornaments. The Ladies Monumental Associ tion of Sumter are going to hold Grand Fair, to commence on the 171 of January next, for the purpose raising the funds necessary for ti completion of the Mon ument; $1,5( is still needed. A London correspondent of ti Buffalo Commercial, reports that Cc Valentine Baker has offered his se vices to the Emperor of Russia, th. the offer has been aceepted. and thi the Colonel will go to Russia as so< as his term of imprisonment expires The Legislature is carrying out tl work of reform in a uovel way. Mo of the time since the commencement the present session has been devot< to holidays, and consequently but 11 te real work has been done. It expected that the new tax bill will I passed dnring this week. Chandler has dismissed a chi clerk, three heads of divisions, at seven other principal clerks of the Il dian bureau. This makes a cle: sweep of all the old clerks associate for any length of time with the bi reau. Their successors have not yi been named. The Emperors of Germany, Russ. and Austria have entered into a agreement to settle the Eastern que tion without war. Each of them wil of course. be entitled to a slice of Tu key as a fee for the preservation< peace. Look out for a new map< Europe. A great revival is going on at Por Jervis, a manufacturing place of 5,00 inhabitants about 100 miles froi New York. Mrs. M. E. Lowry is th evangelist who disputes the palm wit Moody & Sankey. Her conversion are very numerous, and it is said that n I the aspect of the whole town is chang- i1 s ed. t No denial has yet been made of the 1 3 explicit assertion in the English pa pers that Draw-poker Schenek, our e Minister to England, has received a bribe of $50,000 to induce English f capitalists to invest in the Emma mine I e speculation. Our high officials are e not in an enviable position. f a The Florence Pioneer informs us e that "the black banditti are at work f at Mar's Bluff-several persons having 0 been robbed there during the past e week. The black scoundrels would t destroy furniture and fire at persons S attempting to apprehend them. The negro thieves are still at large. This r stealing must be stopped; for if it is continued much longer, lynch law will be the order of the day. The Eddy brothers, the celebrated materializing mediums, have been caught at last, and the whole affair resolves itself into a juggling trick. e The little room from which the spirits s emanated was found to be stuck to a g chimney like a swallow's nest ; a pas n sage led down the chimney into the kitchen, from which genuine speci mens of humanity ascended, put on sheets, and played spirit ; nobody was Ie allowed to touch them for fear of "breaking the electric current." ;t0 . William B. Astor, it is said, follow ing the example of his father, has willed the bulk of his property ) amounting to from 40 to 100 millions -to his most capable son, John Ja cob Astor. It may be very pleasant to be heir apparent to such a heredita e ry money kingdom ; it smacks, how. q ever, a little too much of monarchy for 0 our republican institutions. We are 1 apprehensive that the laternationals will cut the line of successors short in a few generations. )r The Hippodrome in New York is re being prepared for Moody and Sankey. y, Two parallel partitions are to be run a- across the centre. The platform for e- the evangelists will run through these r- partitions ; one room is for christians, - the other for sinners, and the evangel to ists may pass from the sheep to the d goats and change their tunes accoi ding d to the necessities of the case. Whether ;there is a hole for a converted sinner d to pass to the side of the faithful is in not stated. se Scannell, the murderer of Donohue, d. has been found not guilty on the plea of insanity. Donohue had killed Scannell's brother, and the defence was that his disease was monomania, s- caused by the murder of his brother. n Beach, of Beecher-Tilton notoriety, p- contended that during three years of prison quietude and medical treat iment, his client has recovered from his disease and should not be placed .in an asylum. It appears to us that ,his killing Donohue might have cured him of his monomania to kill Donohue without any further medical treat iment. We do not want such diseases 0 to become epidemic in Newberry. Ex-Queen Isabella of Spain, whose t lawsuit with the creditors of her ab sconding maitre d'hotel will be remem .~ bered, appeared in court in Paris the ~other day to go through the disagree ;t, able ceremony of making oath that she i never personally promised any of the . tradesmen to pay them. Her Majes d ty, for whom a chair had been pre pared on the bench, was admitted through the Judge's door. She seem ed surprised at the injunction to take - off her right glove, but did it, held up a her hand, and. took the oath. h That's a convenient way Queen's >f have of paying their debts; hereafter, e however, it is likely that she will have '0 to do her own shopping, which might prove rather inconvenient, as the old e lady weighs about as much as Queen .Victoria's turtle above mentioned. r- The Baptist State Convention held t its fifty-fifth annual session at Spar. it tanburg, from the 24th to the 28th n ult. Fifteen Associations were repre sented by delegates. Rev. Dr. Rey tnolds was elected President, and Rev. t J. C. Landrum, Vice-President ; 091. J. B. Patrick and Rev. 0. F. Gregory, 'Secretaries. Missions and Education t-were thoroughly discussed, and the s claims of that noble institution, the >Furman University, were warmly re presented. This University is an honor to the State, and we hope its 'usefulness may be further increased d by the furnishing of still greater facil Sities for a thorough educational course. nWe have no doubt that the $10,000 d still wanting to complete the $200,000 endowment will be speedily forthcom luig. Mr. B3ristow, the Secretary of the a Treasury, continues the prosecution of nthe St. Louis Whiskey Ring with great vigor. Bevis, a witness in the Strial of Avery, one of the Ring, assert Sed on the stand that the Secretary himself had been interested in the firm of Newcomb, Buchanan & Co. This he indignantly denies anid brands t as a devi'ee to thwart his prosecution ; he concludes his letter by saying: "I a have read this to the President, who r e repeats his injunction, 'let no guilty Sman escape.'" It is generally be- 1 aIivd,hwvrthttePeiet - n-A am that the President a imself, or at least his relatives and itimate friends are implicated, and bat he-is covertly working against ristow who may be forced to resign. IcDonald, it will be remembered, the upervisor of the Revenue at St. Louis, as becn convicted of imniense fraud:a, nd Joyce, his factotum clerk, has lead guilty; they claim to have bundant proof in hand to connect the rauds with the White House ; they iave been protected before and are onfident that they will not now be eft in the lurch by their Washington onfederates. The "crooked whis cey" case bears an ugly aspect. rhe Propos.ed Colossal Statue on Bedloe's Island. On the evening of Nov. 6 a ban luet, at which nearly two hundred 5ersons were present, organized by the ,ommlittee of the Franco-American Union, was held at the Hotel du Louvre. The Franco-American Union proposes to erect the most c, sal tatue, on Bedloe's Island, ever Ichown, to perpetuate the part taken by France in the War of Independence, and to mark the friendshiplrthat unites the two peoples. The event of the evening was the speech of M. Laboulaye, in which the Following passage occurred: "We wish to erect a statue the most olossal ever raised, which will rise above that immense plain which covers New York, with its million inhabi tants, Brooklyn, which has 400,000, and Jersey City, which reckons as many. There it will be really in its place. I have seen the colossal statue of Bavaria thrust into a corner outside the gates of their capital, and I often asked myself what the colossal statue was doing there if not to call to mind that Bavaria is but the shadow of her self. The Colossus of Rhodes saw little ships pass between its legs; but, compared with our statue, the Colossus of Rhodes is but a clock ornament. [Laughter.] The statue which we would cast is not made of cannon taken on the field of battle. Each of his limbs bas not cost a thousand men's lives, and has not caused count less widows and orphans to shed tears. It will be cast in virgin aietal." Paris Correspondence of the London Times. How easy it is to be sentimental and moralize when you've got no cap tured cannon to cast into Liberty legs. To what better use can guns be put than to cast them into such a form that they won't go off any more. We hope the time won't be far when all the cannon in the world will be melted into a huge statue of Peace, to be set up in Boston Commons, with Gilmore and 10,000 performers in her brass head to strike up a Te Deum in all the languages of the globe at the same time.

ECLECTIC MAGAzINE.-The Eclectic for December is an exceptionably good number of a magazine which seldom contains any thing that is not worth the attention of in telligent readers. The article on Money is alone, to use a familiar phrase, worth the price of the magazine; as the Spectator says, it is "so wise and so humorous as almost to console any one who has none, or at least not much." The articles on The Military Future of Germany; ?etroleum and Oil-Wells; The Place of Geography in Physical Science; Cowper and Rossean; West Indian Super stitions; Michael Angelo; and In my Study Chair, are all good. The number -is especial ly strong in poetry. The interest in Mrs. Alexander's novel,Her Dearest Foe is develop ing rapid ly, and Jonathan draws to a close. Lastly, the Editorial departments are filled with miscellaneous good things. Nor must we omit to mention that there is fine steel portrait of Professor John William Draper. As the time for selecting next year's period icals is rapidly approaching, such of our readers as have not yet made their choice, would do well to get a copy of the December Eclectic, and make trial of what it offers.

Ei;hteen hundred and seventy-six is the Cen tennial year. It is also the year in which an Opposition House of Representatives, the irst since the war, will be in power at Washington; and the- year of a twenty-third election of a President of the United States. All of these events are sure to be of great interest and im portance especially the two latter; and all of them and everythint connected with them will be fully and freshly reported and expounded in Tz SUN. The Opposition House of Representatives, taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago by Tex Sux, will sternly and diigently investi gate the corruptions and misdeeds of GaAT's administration; and will, it is to be hoped, ay the foundation for a new and better period In oar national history. Of all this THE Sus will contain complete and accurate accounts, fur nishing its readers with early and trustworthy information upon these absorbing topics. The twenty-third rresidential election, with the preparations for it, will be memorable as de- f ciding upon Gn&ArT,s aspirations for a third S term of power and plunder, and still more as de ciding who shall be the candidate of the party of Reform, and as electing that candidate.
