Job Printing neatly and che?ply executod. Necessity compels us to adhere strictly to the require ments of cash payments. Special Tax. Tho Legislature baa refused to pa9s a bill authorising tho County Commissioners to lovy ft special tax to pay the past duo indebtedness of the eounty. This we regard unwise, as the prompt payment of county indebtedness would secure a low bidding for all county work and save more than tho li ttl o hardship resulting from an extra tax. If every credi tor of the eounty knew his olaims would bo promptly met, and in caso of doBoiency, "would be met by a speoiol tax tho noxt yent, 'lie Gould ealculato at what price he could 'build a bridge, or do other work. When, 'however, exporienco and observation show 'that a claim may bo postponed for yours, 'men in undortaking for tho county bid with llhat uncertainty Besides, is it right that an 'honest creditor of tho county should bo post poned for years, perhaps ruined by failing to get his just dues? Some of our indebtedness is three, two and one year old and should be poid. Wo think our taxpayers feel this way and would willingly pay our past indebtedness. It may be said tho people are poor and .cannot pay moro than the annual tax. Wo ?admit our peoplo are poor, but they are honest .and we think would hardly fool an extra tax of ono mill. Our neighbors of Piokons have paid over twenty mills tax, and last year paid about nineteen mills, and cannot wo, to meet our honest debt, pay eleven mills? Taxation is a necessary evil for the purposes of govern ment and should bo kopt at as a low figure as possible. While this is true, moro ts lost than gained by failing to make it equal to tho ne cessary expenses of govornmont, or by refus ing to meet all deficiencies. The money levied for county purposes is expended in the oounty and among our own peoplo, and goos immediately into circulation amoug us. In this way (bo peoplo do not feel the exhaus tion from suoh taxation, which results from taxation for Stato purposes, whoro tho money is carried out of tho eounty and expended elsewhere. Wo think the bill should hovo passed and that the rubbish of our past in debtedness should have boon removed. With a olear record we might hope tho usual tax in the futuro would koop us olear of debt and givo our county good credit. Thc Female College, Tho Legislature has refused to pass thc bill to exempt the buildings of this institution from taxation. Wo think tho bill should havo passed. It ii true tin. uoudingn arc private property, but thoy are devoted to publio pur poses, and purposes of the highest character the education of tho daughters of tho county . and State. Eduoation is tho lifo of tho country. It is the spirit of thc people, and female education is not loss, perhaps moro important, than tho eduoation of men. Women aro tho formors and moulders of tho youthful mind. Mon aro good or bad, learned or unlearned, in n great degrco, according to tho teachings of the mothgr. At tho fireside nublo aspirations are implantod in thc youth of the country. From thc lips nod heart of itio mother that moral instruction is received which ts essen tial to truo greatness. In fact, no man can overestimate tho val'io of tho groat work in which this institution is ongagod. Mon and women labor in different spheres, but tho worth of mon in their sphere depends much on the oapaoity with which women perform the duties of their sphorc. The one is soloot but impressive on tho young mind, the other mingles with tho bustle and turmoil of tho world. The work in which Dr. Smeltzor is engaged is not only a noble one, but it is of the highest publio importance. Ho has im ppriled nil in this undortaking Tho institu tion is in its infancy, struggling to riso and spread its inflnonoo wider and widor, and it should be onoouragod. Tho littlo tax collec ted from it might well bo omitted and tho institution aided by a publio acknowledg ment of its high publio purposes. The Georgia Houso of Representatives, at the Session just terminated, spent th roo thousand two hundred dollars for oloriool services, against i between elovon and twelve thousand dollars spent for the samo sorvioe of the last session before. i? i i? ? - "\ A Florida editor writes looking out on his >90urt yard, where roses aro in bloom, and there ./ is ^watermelon vino with blossoms, a fig tree with figs on it, and a banana plant with young fruit.

Th? year ls fast drawing to a dose. Christi mas, the greatest of all the old festivals, is at hand. For over eighteen hundred years it bas been celebrated as the day when the announcement was made of peaoe on earth and good will towards men. It waa formerly celebrated in a true ehrietian spirit. Irving in Ibo sketch book, speaking of thia festival, says: "Of all the festivals that of Christmas awakens the strongest and most heartfelt associations. There is a tone of solemn and eacred feeling that blends wittf our con viviality, and lift the spirit to a state of hallowed and elevated enjoyment. Tho ser vices of tho church about this soason are extremely tender and inspiring. Tho; dwoll on the beaatiful story of the origin of our faith and the pastoral soonos that accom panied its announcement. They gradually increased in fervor and pathos during tho season of Advont. until they break forth in full jubilee on the morning that brought good will to men. I do not know a grander effect of muaio on the moral fooling than to boar tho full choir and the pealing organ perform ing a Christmas anthem in a cathedral, and filling overy part of the vast pilo with trium? phant harmony." Christmas waa thon de voted to religious and social duties, whoa mon mot to praise the Saviour of poaoo and lovo, and whoo broken families gathored around the fireside of tho old homestead, aud renowod thoso natural ties of affootion whioh timo and separation had blunted It was truly a day whon tho moral naturo was strengthened bv tho oporation of tho most solemn associations, and when all distinctions wore abolished and tho rich and poor met in harmless conviviality. This has allohongod. The day whioh brought poaco on earth and good will to men has become a day of drunk enness and sinful revolry. Tho very day is hold to license overy epooios of sinful dissi pation and extravagance. Instead of peaoe, we have drunken brawls nnd blasphemy on all sides. Instead of good will among men wo hoar of rourdors and affrays from ovory quarter. Instead of attending church, bar rooms aro tho plaoos of popular resert. Tho anniversary of tho birth of tho man of poaco is mado a day of wrath and reveling. Thia should not bo, and wo trust that tho wook in our town will not bring forth such untoward fruits, but that our pooplo will rotuorabor Christmas ns n day of Christian rejoicing and social pleasure. OUR COL, LEO fee. Wo have oaueo for thankfulness, not only in tho establishment of these institutions among us, but for their unparalleled prosperity Tho malo collogo has ovor ono-humlrcd stu dents in it, with an incroasod attendance in tho col legi a to department. The prospect for ita futuro usefulness is ohocring. Tho female college, too, has ono hundred studonts, an increnso over last year. It lins a corps of uncxcoptionable teachers, both in capacity and in dicipline. Dr. Smolder, tho President, is a man of indefatigable energy, great ability aud extended oxporionco as on instructor. Ho knows no such word as fail, and wo look to this institution na a fixture among us, which for years will leave its impress on our women and through thom on tho rising generation. OUR COUNTY. Whilo our pooplo aro poor, this is tho com mon lut of tho poople of this Stato and of | tho South generally. Wo have no special cause for complaint above othors. On the contrary, our people moko an abundance- to live on and enjoy good health, a blousing not often appreciated in n healthy country. Besides, on looking ovor our county wo find our people since tho war have turned thou attention vory much to rendering their fami lies comfortable and improving their farm conveniences. Citizens of ordinary moans are now moro comfortable about their promi ses than our wealthiest families woro before thc war. Wo hoard ono of tho lato excursion ists to Atlanta say thoro woro moro nico residences along tho road in Oooneo, outsido of towns, than on tho whola of tho balance of tho route. In considering our condition mon raroly think of tho farm improvements and comforts built up by our pooplo since thc war. We aro on tho road to a higher prosperity, and though wo may bo advancing slowly, wo aro moving on none tho less surely. Besides our county improvements, wo havo tho thriving towns of Soncca and Wostmin? ster, which havo been built up in a fowyoars. Persons who lived boro twenty yoara ago could not reoogni/.o tho county ns it now is, so great has been our advance in tho walks of wealth. SANTA CLAUS. This old gentleman, who isoxpeetedto sweop over tho country with his reindeer on the night of tho 24th instant, visiting tho little onos in overy family, can bo found dooling out wares of different kinds nt tho following places: Thoso wishing to supply themselves should call on one and ull of tho merchants named: J.

May thoy grow in wealth, duing tho noxt year, enjoy good health, and flourish like tho troe planted by tho rivors of wntor. At tho end of a long and useful lifo, which wo wish to all of thom, may they reap tho reward which await tho virtuous and intelligent.

LOUIS, December 20. -Adrioos fram TOJBS say offioial intelligence has boen ro coivod at Austin from tho RI Paso district to tho effect that armed banda of dotparadoes havo arrived from Now Mexioo; that the Mexicans show signs of making trouble, and that tba Judge of thc district fear? Ibo court oannut be bold. The liond Cdlirti i-.ii.. The people will be agreeably surprised te learn that a majority of tho Bond Oourt baa decided that over three millions of tho con solidated bonds aro invalid and not propor to be consolidated under the aot, by reason of their being based on vouobers illegally issued. Tho deoision is an affirmnuoo of tho report of the Bond Commission appointed by the last Legislature, and is, we think, right nnd just, We have always contended that the nu to?-war debt should be eettlod on tho ba?is of fifty cents on the dollar and all the othor debts, affected with illegality should be rejootod, or if somo poople like it better, repudiated. Some nu otha ago wo wrote an article tak ing very muoh tho position of the court na to alleged bona fide holders of these bonds, baned on illegal vouohers. Wo tbon contended th oro wero no suoh persons OS t ruo bona '/ide holdors of those bonds. Tho condition of tho State was woll known to tho world, ita bonds wore being hawked aud peddled about tho streots of Now York liko shoddy goods and our people in oonvontion had published to ll world a manifesto io regard to the heavy .xation imposed on them and tho unwnr* .'antablo inorcaso of tho public dobt by a dis honest and non-taxpay ing body, calling thom? solves the Legislature of South Carolina. This should havo put ovory man on his guard as to investing in our Statobonds. But moro than this, wo contended that the bonds of a State could only be issued by authority of law, and that suoh law muet be striotly fol lowed in ordor to bind tho State. Tho law, too, in suoh cases, pay tho court, is not a 80orot dooumont, but a high and public reoord. Tho party, too, aoting for tho Stato, with which tho louder is to treat, is pointod ont. Neither tho law nor tho aot of tho agent can be extended, but both oro fixed and limited by thc act itself. In reference to these bonds, declared not Hablo to bo consolidated as based on illegal vouchers, a large number wero put on tho market after tho timo linn tod by the aol authorizing their issuo; as to others they were issued in excess of tho amount allowed by law, and ns to others they woro hypothecated without authority of law and oevor redeemed, These acts hoing of public record tho pur chasers of thoso bonds had notice and ari entitled to no consideration as bona fide hob dors. Wo think tho decision of thc eeur right and well sustained in law. Wo thin! in tho loss of four-fifths oi the proporty o tho Stale, on the faith of which tho anto-wai debt was created, it is hard enough to pa; fifty contson tho dollar on tho old dobt, aut do not think wo are under any legal or mora obligation to pay any debt contracted einci tho war, unless oroated undor and in alric accordance with law. We think tho repudiation of these fraudu lent bonds will havo a wholesome infiuenc and prevent outsiders from over again aidinj to sustain and fasten upon any State ai irresponsible and odious government, roprc senting neither tho intelligence nor prnport; of the State. Let thoso who huvo dono titi sillier tho consoquonoeB, w hore ver a bond ha not tho strict sanction oi law. Besides, w cm not think tho credit of a State or of un indi vidual can bo benefited, but ratbor injurod by paying ?Mogal debts, lt may bc said tho Democratic party in th campaign of 1876 pledged itself to stand b tho settlement of tho public debt ns fixed b tho Consolidation Act. This is not tho cast Tho Executive Committee made somo s aol declaration, but tho pooplo neither in clut nor in convention ever mado such a promise Evon if they had, wo would hold that tl: promise could not bc extended su ns to cove bonds basod on vouchers issued without nu thority ol law. Tho court in its opinion not only deolan that these bonds nro based on illegal vouebe but that they aro not authorized to bo funde under tho Aot. Bight is right and tho poop dosiro only what is just and propor, but th they demand. While they nro willing to pt such of the now debt ns has been propor Cleated, they arc not willing to pay ono dolli moro than this. When tho Lcgislattiro spl on these bonds last year, wo approvod tl compromiso by which tho validity of thc bonds was referred to a special court, orcati with powers to bear and determine thoir leg validity. Thc decision rendered is what \ expected from tho eminent jurists and pu gentlcmon comprising tho court. It is wi sustainod by authority, and wo doubt ti tho decision will bo confirmed by tho S promo Court of tho State and- of tho Unit States, should it over roach that tribunal, is no new principle that persons doaling wi a State or corporation mast look to tho In authorizing tho matters troated of. AU su laws aro of public record and aro notico tho world. Tho terms of tho law cannot extended and tho agent has no discreto In this view wo think tho decision will sustained, unios? tho Validating Act shot bo held to euro tho ovil. This was ooncon in sin and brought forth in iniquity and shot bo sot asido as pnseod for corrupt purpo and doubtless by corrupt influoncos. 'J way would thon be oloar and our pooplo relieved of nearly four million of dobt wh never benefited tho Stato and thoy ought to have to pay. dov. lluiiiptou.

We eeo from the corrcspondonoo of tho Greenville News thai our taxes next year are likely to bo lower than ot any period siuoo tho war. Tho Legislature has releaBod onough of tho fund aoautnulated to pay in torca t ou the publio dobt, whioh had been held awaiting tho deoieioo of tho oourt on the quostionod bonds, to pay tho intoreet on the valid dobt of the Stato. It will not therefore bo necessary to levy any tax to pay tho interest on tho publio debt. The correspondent fixes the tax BB follows: For State purposes, two and a half mills; for publio schools, two mills; for county pur* poses, throe mills, making a total of seven and a half mills. If our information bo oorreot this will bo ploasiog news to all our readers. Wo need a breathing spoil these hard times, that our peoplo may get out of debt. Low taxes will help us very much in this respect. COLUMOIA, December 19.-Tho Court of Claim;), popularly known as tho "Bond Court" consisting of throo Circuit Judges, announced its decision tooday upon questions submitted to it in relation to a portion of the South Car olina consolidated bonds, coupons and certifia catos of stock issued under tho not of 1873, known os the Consolidation Act. The opin ion holds that tho vouchers upon whioh said consolidated bonds and stocks wore issued, as specified in tho conclusions reached by tho Court, amounting to about$1,500,000 of said bonds and stocks, >ioro not issued in accor dance with law and authorized to bo consoli dated under tho not of 1873. and that tho consolidated bonds and stocks exchanged for said vouchers, so far as thoy rest thereon for their validity, aro not a binding obligation upon tho Stato of South Carolina, Tho opinion is pronounced by Judgo Thom son, Judgo Aldrich concurring. Judgo Hudson delivered a dissenting opin* ion, holding that every consolidated boud issued undor tho not of December 23, 1873, known as tho Consolidation Act, is a valid obligation ol tho Stato of South Carolina. Tho opinions cover somo fifty or sixty pngos of foolsonp, closely written. Tho onso will bo carried, on npponl, to tho Supreme Court in tho interest of tho bondholders.
