If, aye? I'lcoe clean tlu; ink from your fu? best stool, hide the Devil ba hind a form as is fashionable in high life, mid put the "best lavorjj to the fore?EscotiT." The response was "ay;c," and, wheth er the cotiiiiiotion which followed was to overcome the objections of his little majesty to be hid as in thu fashionable world, or whether it was found difficult to decido as to the latter request, has not transpired. As regards tho last it is foared wo shall have to go to the Times' oflue for good looks.

The first emotion was, that the two dollar dues might be promptly met, that the way up might be bettered. The next, that th ; oj-mi pants are in danger of breaking their individual necks if this be not d<<uc. But at last the consolation derived from atf*old saying whiuh makes it impossible for break neck rteps to do their offi-'e on certain children of denting, is accepted. Up und inside?Mrs. K. requests that as printers are always in want of copy, they will insert Moloch with illuminated lettering, to which tlu objection is rail ed that Molo '\\ is so largo an 1 the pipe r fo small. It is decided that such copy if not available. Now the truth is that , Moloch is a snub nose, and the editor has some of tho right sort, at home, (hatchet-faced,) and the foreman thinks as did the fox, that the gripes are sour, j 'Tis explained to us thlt typ es are set I wrong end up, and they obligingly set j Moloch up thus?the type wc mean. We see tho Nkw.s' type in waiting liko a vast army under review, each let ter n soldier, ready to d ? the bidding of the pen and :nk dispatches which a courier may bring. We seo the work ings of the machinery that gives to the nations the same idea? and thoughts in only tho space of time that tho puffing iron horse requires to ilislributo the sheets We see the virgin white paper, before it is soiled by tho dirt and volcanic mud of seething life.

The qu-lity of the ammunition used, it; no doubt the cause of such longevity among newspaper men. In conclusion wo exclaim, the poor printer, picking up type half his time, and picking >thetn down the other, ball ! No wouder ho ' will frolic if ho have the opportunity. No wondor that ho is glad when Saturday Zornes, that he may rid himself of this "old man of the spa."

Some come West with the purpose of accumulating |a competency and thon return East to enjoy it. Others come simply to stay a certain length of time and then go baek whether-or no. Occasionally you will find a man whose purpose it is to locate here permanently, but ''will waits while i ud see." Thus they will live and die, and be resurrected in the West; for alter a few months or years they do not "see just how they can make it cmven icnt to return Euat." W. T. Baker, of this city, has un earthed an heir loom, and is creating a stir among rheumatie people and those suffering various nervous ailments. He has been offered a handsome figure for the sole *ocret of manufacture, but says it now belongs to tha people, wh > can have it for the rending. It is a simple pad. easily made and certainly contains wonderful curative qualities. Mr. Bak er made it public, for the first, iu Janu ary. Heaven help the poor editors. There are now four newspapers in this oity. Remember ns in your devotions. A dress-maker across tho way wants Feverul copies of the Nmvs for pattern paper.

Trading Post. [L'rorn tho New York Tribune."] The fact that a committee of gentle men, representing the aristocracy of old families and State Rights, is now in Washington supplicating for redress by the interference- of the general govern incut, tolls the whole sad story of op pression and humiliation It is not a speetae'e that should gratify anybody. W-e believe every count in their indict ment, of the colored majority in South Carolina can be sostainod. No Ameri can Commonwealth ever suffered more from tho domination of depravity and ignorance. Tho outlooks seems home less. How a State thus afflicted may be restored to a healthy condition ia a question demanding the serious con sidcrntion of Btutestnon. Wo aro not surprised to find the suflorors propiaing quack remedios for tho diseaso; but with all sympathy and concern for tho patient it is the duty of the wiao physi cian to deny the request. The proposi tion of tha South Carolina memorialists as expressed by individual members is that the reconstruction acts bo so amend ed as to wrest the Stato from the hands of Ilhe colored majority now in power, and place it under tho eontrol of the taxpayers and the educated dual. It is always desirable that intelligence and respectability shall rulo; but it is not right that even this good end should be Accomplished by overriding the popular will by congressional interfer ence} " No euoh dangerous procudcat should be tot, even for a good purpose ; and if such a precedent already exists, it should not be followed. If this plan is adopted in South Carolina, it would seem to justify not a fow of tho politi cal crimes which have made tho Repub lican party, as it oxists in some other Southern States, odious in tho eyes of the world. It will not do. Special legislation is not the proper romcdy for political wrongs. If tho distressed people ? of South Carolina ask'What, then, shall we do 7' wo answer, in tho language of Gov. Kemper, that 'there can be no security for liberty bat in an immovable adlyj.enco to fuudamontal principles/ Precedents of tho kiud . which aacribc unlimited powor to a legislative body and assume that it may subvert the dearest principles of liberty at will are but 'bloody io*tru,:tieus, which, being taught, return to plague the inventor.

W. AT TO Dol [From the Springfiuld (Mast.) Republican."] The story of the prostrate State bus becu told too often an 1 too fully in these columns to need another retelling. It is a pitiful story, u shameful story. It hns about it something at ouce of the hideous unreality and tho sickening I oppressiveness 'of the nightmare. It t docs not soeumpossible, wu can hardly 'bring ourseUJikto b??ii#?v?? th:u *u?ci? a [story cnu be trV" fully told of ah Amsri can CommonwJ-'alth, ene of thi* Old Thirteen, thooreticul'y th j sistor aad equal of Musroimusetts. Thu evidence , however, ia too vulumin^iM, coherent aud cumulative to admit nf d ??bt. To all the other proofs, a fresh and convinc ing one is now added in the spectacle of tho white citizens of t ho State, the ex blavcholders and cx-rebcls, begging *t the hands of a Republican President and a Republican Congress the boon of a Federal intervention These men, not so very long since, were the icrc?s. sticklers for State rights to be found in the country, as their fathers and grand - fathers had been before them. They would have gore to the death soonor than tolerate anj intermeddling on the part of the general government in the internal affairs of South Carolina. Now they iuvite and even implore it. Tho faet is more eloquent than anything ia their memorial. * * * The appeal to the Federal authority having proved a failure, the question recurs, What to do? Two couues aro open to those South Carolina tax-payers. We assume that an armed riang against the existing State Government is out of thu question. The first of thee) courses is, to organize a passive, peaceable rebellion ; in other words, to refuse to pay. thoir taxes, after the Louisiana precedent. Some of tho delegates are quoted as haring told'.he IIqusc committee that this plan woild be tried, unless relief was specdly forte coming. Tho idaa iif, ol oourie, o coerco Congress into doing what it wi 1 not do voluntarily The a loption of this plaj would, of necessity, oau* great confusion and excitement in th State; it might easily load to bloodshed even if it did not, it might not prove 8? feasible and effioiclmi as those whe I favor it profess to believe. A mucl better aad safer plan, as it soinia to us will be to steadily and hopefully per severe in the path upon which they have already entered; undisouraged by the disappointment and meagre rosults of the past, to redouble their effort* fo scoure the confidence of the colored voters, dctaoh them from the carpet baggers and the scalawags, and educate them in the duties of citizeuship. Con ciliated, education?in those two words lies tho hope of South Carolina. The ox slaveholders havo already made a good beginning iu divesting themselves of muoh of their old partisanship and prejudice of raoo* Their bost aud most hopeful plaa is to go straight ahead iu this line. Tho circuuwtancos aad ran ditiouj aro more favorablo thaa orer before. Lot the taxpayers bo of good courage. Thoy havo reaped tho harvest from a bad sowing. Lot thorn bow sow kindness instead of contempt, sympathy iii-teiid of arrogance-, justice instead of oppression. This seed, too, always cotne* up. Thej shall reap in due season, if they faint not. i? Tbc Charleston News And The Tnx-Payer?' Convention. V [From the Greenville Republican ] There are some lessons to bo derived from the lata gathering at Columbia which called itself tho Tax-payers' Convention, which it would be woll for the people of this Stato to take to heart. One of these lessons is, put not your faith in the Charleston News and Goar ier 1 Now, wo do not mean by this to say that the news columns of this sheet are unreliable, or that it hahiiutlly and willfully misleads its roadera. Hut what we do mean to say is, that no faith oao bo placed in the politieal course of this paper. Why, in this year of Grace, 1801, we Gnd it making fierce assaults on tho Executive, legislative and judicial branches of tho State government} we bco in foremost in its attacks on the so called 'Printing ring;' we heir it* than ders of denunciation aguiust oorrup tion in the Republican oarty and every little while feeding its vanity by publishing some compliment of itself, written by some innocent country man who really believes that the News and Courier moans what it says. But there are some among tho people of both parties in this State who have longer memories than thc.ie same flat, tcrers to the News and Courier's vanity! There are lomo of us whose mcinoric.1 go back to a period earlier than the year 1873, and who can recall some of the events of the years 1871 and 1872. We belong, unhappily, to this num ber. We recall the days whon the Charleston New? whb the odicial 'organ' of Charleston county; when it publish od the laws of the State as advertisement*, for which it charged lull rato?; when it roand nut as mildly as any sacking doro at the patient wrongs of tho Republi can administration ot thai day because, Ibrsouth, it fed on the pap from the public treasury. Pretending to be a Djirocrttio organ, and tin- inouthpi ?>.*<?.if aff tha'CwaS pffrf ticallj ,Vonc?t a-idvirtom in thon days, it was content to be in tho pay of a Re pub'icuu adiiiiniatrati >u and maintain 11 dlntiMi ullauKC air as ntlCnCC Was profitable. And during the campaigu of 1872, ?heu the merit t and demerits of the rival Republican candidates lor State ofliei rs wrie thurou-hly discussed, on which aide was the Newt tound 1 On the s ide uf the present State ailministra eioii. which it is uow arraiuguing! The editors of that shoet knew per fectly well in tii j .-mm ner of 1872, what wnuld piobably be the adiuiuiatration which it helped to elect. Helped, do W? suy? Aye, which did more to elect the prcacul State govern.wont than any one agencj in (he State! lion tunny times did it declare its choice to be the candidates w'.io wore elected, rather than the candidates who '.jwkod' the regular Republican ticket, and how its lead was followed by almost every uthcr conservative or Democrat p:i{ er in thu State ! Rut that tight is over, and those of us who were 'bolters' have profited by the lesson ofthat campaign. The News then had its way. In less than two ye i s it L fierce in its attacks on its own State government. Its editor-in.chief goes to the Tax payers' Conventi in and denounces the wrongs which, if they aro real, he did m >ro to fasten on the people of this State than any other man in it holding similar position; and if thoy are ?uot real, it is wor?c than puerile to cry and lament over. He can not plead ignorance of what would be the probable conduct of the Stato government. He knew what was the past history of its members, and i'rom that could tell what "its future career would bo. If the 'Printing Ring1 is a Bwindlo and a wr-mg in 18T -1, it was one in 1871 2; but the Aries said nothing tagaiost it then | Why ? Let the vouch ers in tho State treasury auswar \\ What evideuoe has tho Sews and Courier furni-hed that it will stay in tho path af'reform' whith it has opened up, or that it will not itself fall before allurements of place and porter 7 Let tht people oi this State consider his question well before they submit to ts dictation or guidance Is there any ublio question on which it ] ban had a ked opinion during the last four or five tare? Politically, has it not alternately piscd and coodomed the Republican aViinibtration* of this State, both with ream and without reason 7 las it not advooated Northern imosi gnion with one breath and denounced uvy Northern llepubl'can as a thieving cait beggor with its next 7 is it not been a false prophet and a bH guide to ^ honest seekers alter trutiQ the past, nnd has rocent course b eoiuch as to mako it worthy to stand ' as a truo prophet and an infallible guide bow? We don't sto the evidence yet to con vince us of its fairness or sincerity. It still savors of the unsounduees of 1871, 1872 and 1873, and we suspect that it is even now trimming its sails ao as to be ready to profit by sueh windfalls as the campaign of this year may throw in its way. Would that it were otherwise; would that vre might hare in our coutempjra ry a political opponent which was all that it demands in the way of honesty and fair dealings from the Republican party of this State. Rut to long es its course continues to be what it has been in the past, so loug must wo rofaie to accept as oracles the words of advice which come to us throu gh its editorial columns.
